As soon as October rolls around, horror movies immediatley make their way to my television. Now let me tell you, I am not a big scary movie fan; I get scared super easy and often watch these movies through slits in my hands that are covering my face. Yet, there is something about watching these films in the Halloween season that just seems right and gives me an extra boast of confidence. Jon is a huge horror movie buff so since dating him I have seen all types of horror films from classics to modern day B-movies.
Here are some of my favorites for the season.
Waxwork. What could be more scary than turning to wax? Focused around a creepy old mansion that doubles as as wax museum, spoiled 80's teenagers and an all-knowing little person, this film has everything needed in a late night horror flick. Not to mention dream sequences, historical figures and epic battles, Waxwork has got it all.
Freddy vs. Jason. Ok, I know what your thinking. Seriously, combining two villains of horror classics for a final showdown against each other? Cheesy...but awesome! Freddy and Jason are two very different beasts with the same love of blood but they are not willing to share this with another. This film features underage party teenagers, backstories on Freddy and Jason and absolutely ridiculous killings. While there are scary parts, the gore is pretty crazy that it will end up laughing too.
Nightmares in Red, White and Blue. Maybe some of you are interested in the phenomenon of horror movies and their place in the American social world and psyche. This film goes back from the beginnings of the very first horror films to today's modern takes. With commentary from horror legends like John Carpenter and George Romano, this is the perfect documentary for those starting out in the horror genre or buffs wanting to know more.
So check all of these out on Netflix or at your local video store for some good frights for the season. What are some of your favorite Halloween films?
