I saw his movie, Pumpkinhead, a few years ago and thought it was pretty cool. Got all excited when a widescreen DVD of the flick finally hit shelves, so I picked it up but have yet to watch it. ;p Not like it matters a whole lot: I hear the flick doesn't really utilize the wide theater aspect ratio, many movies at the time being filmed with pan-and-scan home video in mind. Still, I'll take widescreen over P&S or open matte any day (if the flick's intended to be widescreen, that is).

. Anyway here are my top ten horror movies.
1-The Excorcist
2-The Ring
3-A Nightmare on Elm Street
4-The Shining
5-Halloween
6-Scream
7-Pumpinkhead
8-Psycho
9-Relic
10-Ice Cream Man

I consider Tetsuo to be body horror a la Cronenberg. But yeah, it's also a cyberpunk/sci-fi thing. Still, really gory film, which is why it reminds me a bit of The Evil Dead; the effects are quite similar.

Some random horror things:

Just finished watching Alien. I love that film. Facehuggers creep the hell outta me. I'm on a mad hunt for them at the moment, snapping them up on ebay, etc. Anyone wanna donate/sell any to me?

Zombies are probably my favourite genre of horror. Its a shame that there is so much tripe out there, but yeah, they are awesome.

Always got a place for Freddy in my heart, especially the first and third movies.

My granda died when I was ten, and before he passed away, he had let me watch a whole slew of horror movies, including A Nightmare on Elm Street, Hellraiser 2, Predator, American Werewolf in London and Night of the Living Dead. Never done me (nor my sister, two years younger than I) any harm, and I guess I could say that it helped shape my love for horror in my later years.

Just finished watching Santa Sangre, which is really fantastic. Has a certain intelligence and sensitivity/endearment that aren't in a lot of horror movies. It's sort of a slasher, Alejandro Jodorowsky style—so, it's stylish, it's surrealistic and weird...it's wonderful. Only other movie of his I've seen is El Topo, but I love that one and really gotta see more.

Now, I'm gonna follow that poetic horror masterpiece with a Friday the 13th knockoff, The Burning. :p Looks great; the trailer really caught my eye. And despite it being a cash-in on the F13/bodycount/slasher craze (and looking EXACTLY like F13 based on the trailer), Tom Savini did the SFX, which I find really amusing since he also did the first flick (and the fourth). Apparently he passed on an offer to do the FX for Friday the 13th Part 2 to do The Burning.

Just thought I would share my new mask I had made for me. This is based off of the H20 Myers mask. Thanks for looking!

*Ninjinister* · 03-24-2011, 07:15 PM

I'm re-watching all of Marble Hornets right now. It's amazing how much I missed the first time around.

*discordiatookie* · 03-25-2011, 02:18 PM

Great mask!

I proper dig Marble Hornets...

Oh, lol. Well, yes that is 100% true. The original mask was in fact a 1975 Don Post Captain Kirk mask. They ripped the sideburns off, spray painted it white, and messed up the hair a bit. Im not familiar with Star Trek so that's why I was confused by your post.

~~JakeSully~~ · 03-26-2011, 12:29 PM
