Favorite Horror Movies

By category, sub-genre, branch, type—whatever’s under “Horror” and’s on the movie shelf, and not getting too granular. But, “15,” right? I know. I tried to keep it to a properly spooky “13,” but things happen. Though, if you take #11 and #15 out (which would shatter me), as they’re not really ‘categories’—”Scariest,” “Perfect”—then this does slide in more like “…

Slasherific

Okay, this is probably A) expensive, B) delicate (maybe?), and C) something that requires long-ish nails-as-canvas in the first place, but still, this is glorious enough and glamorous enough and wonderful cool amazing enough that that might all be worth it:

maybe there’s press-on versions I can use instead?

The Ghosts of October

October was packed full of good times. I don’t think this is all of them, but it’s all of them I can dig up goods for—or, that I can remember to dig up pics and links for.

Started out giving a zombie lecture to an auditorium of people at CU:

zombie shots: Teresa Nugent

Then I was at the Lighthouse in Denver for Atlas Obscura’s way-cool, properly spooked-up event:

Then it was GoH’ing at MileHiCon, where I got to give a little mini-talk o…

Do You Like Scary Movies?

If you like a good gory time with some ridiculous storytelling and nothing but laughs, you can’t do better than Gravy:

If you like that, then Murder Party‘s a sure bet:

And it goes without saying that Trick ‘r Treat is called for this time of year:

And, for something less silly that comes in one-two punch form (there’s a third, too, if the first two leave you all leaning forward, and you have to fall into something), Cold Prey and Cold Prey II are som…

The Main Staples of Horror

For real horror, you need:

  • an empty rocking chair, rocking
  • a crackle-faced porcelain doll
  • the close-up of an eyeball
  • a spread-fingered hand on the other side of a window
  • a tree swing, creaking back and forth
  • and a cat flying out of every closet:
  • doesn’t hurt to have a mysterious shape walking past a doorway, either:

Halloween 2018

Isn’t that mask just so expressive? It’s supposed to make Michael Myers faceless, but really it kind of gives him a soul. A dark, evil, tortured soul. Anyway, I think it’s going to be a touch before I get to actually talking about this latest version, BUT:

  • if you haven’t seen it yet
  • AND you don’t like spoilers
  • AND you can’t help but finish every post you start reading, then:
