Pumpkinhead, Near Dark, House of 1000 Corpses, Repo the Genetic Opera ( Okay that one isn’t super scary but I’m counting it as Horror ) , The Thing. If the Predator / Alien movies count then those. Just not Alien 3, or The Predator. Or the Prometheus movies. No thank you for those. The others of those series? Gucci. the Hugh Jackman Van Helsing movies. Again that one isn’t mega scary but dangit I love that movie so much.
Hmmm, Frankenstein and the Bride of Frankenstein are great. The Creature From the Black Lagoon movies are worth watching. The Thing deserves it’s reputation as a masterpiece. You guys know it was a remake? The original was The Thing From Another World, made in the 50s, directed by Howard Hawks. It’s a lot of fun. I like old SciFi horror flicks. Them was a classic. It the Terror from Beyond Space is another one I’ve seen many times. Give those older films a chance, gang.
This was such an unexpected masterpiece! I regret not seeing it in theaters because I thought it was just another generic backwoods cabin horror. I was wrong. So wrong.
This one I did sneak in to see in theaters and it scared the crap out of me, still I love it to this day. I dunno it’s just the way it presents the idea that there’s a place worse than Hell that’s stuck with me years later.
Another great Sam Niell horror flick is John Carpenter’s In the Mouth of Madness. It’s intentionally very H.P. Lovecraft inspired so lots of squidggy tentacle creatures and some really nice practical effects.
Some would say the Silent Hill Movie yet it completely misses the point of the Silent Hill Game which is about a Cute Purple-haired Oni who goes Au-Au-Au(represented by the Male Protagonist) wandering through a Village(represented by a Foggy Town) getting stuffed into a Blue-Haired Miko named Rika which means Village(metaphorically represented as a Blood-Splattered Town with Blood-Splattered Metal Grates for Ground and Flooring).
The antagonists are a Blond-Haired Girl with a Beret(metaphorically represented by Lisa and Heather), a Blue-Haired Catgirl(metaphorically represented by Alessa and the Pus that Lisa talks about) and their combined form a Purple-haired Oni who goes Au Au Au drawing on the Oni inside Rika to attain her appearance(metaphorically represented by Dahlia, Claudia and God).
Where do I get this interpretation? By the simple fact that the Writer of Silent Hill is Keiichiro Toyama who is the true identity of 07Ryukishi the Writer of Higurashi whose fake protagonist Keiichi is named after the Writer himself.
How do I know that the Purple-haired Oni Hanyuu is stuffed into Blue Haired Miko Rika? Whenever Hanyuu is missing and replaced with her “Fragment” the Blue-haired Miko Rika starts activating the same Red Eyes that Hanyuu has in her confrontation with Takano Miyo.
Some good ones there. The Thing has really aged into a masterpiece in my opinion. Lots of tension, and the ending was perfect in my opinion. The Exorcist scared the hell out of me when I was a kid. I know that it is all about digital media now, but I have a blu ray copy of the Exorcist that has an awesome behind the scenes feature. Really cool to see how that movie shook people back in the day.
