Now on the must watch list of 2014 , 1993's "High Kicks"!

The Amazing Bulk. See it.

Alright so I read a pretty interesting topic on Horror fans bashing new films and remakes because they only watch horror movies because of nostalgia. I was going to post on that blog but decided to rant here. While I think the post was a personal rant of their own , I also feel that lumping all horror fans into his assumption was way off base. I feel that because he likes some newer remakes and original films and some don't, they think it's because we won't give them a chance. I personally give every movie I watch a chance and if I don't like it there are many reasons why, horror or non-horror. Let me start with remakes, for the most part they are pointless and just bring in money for the studio because the public (non-genre fans) recognize the names of the films and associate them with being good. I believe for the most part these are the people the studios are targeting with remakes not the die hard fans of the originals. I usually don't see remakes in the theater, but if I do it's because I've heard good things about it ie The Evil Dead. When I first heard this was being made I thought waste of time, but after it was released I kept hearing great things about it and my wife wanted to see it so we did, I thought although gory was pretty mediocre ,flashy and did not deliver the goods. I actually liked The Thing prequel / remake more. Oh well, on to the horror movies in recent history that I like in no particular order- Martyrs Inside Serbian Film (uncut) Pontypool Hatchet House of The Devil V/H/S Hostel Wrong Turn Haute Tension Cabin Fever Cold Prey Session 9 The Descent Devils Rejects REC American Psycho Frailty Dog Soldiers Frontiers Rogue Feast 3 Extremes Abominable Remakes that were ok- The Hills Have Eyes My Bloody Valentine I'm sure there are more I haven't seen, but what it comes down to in the long run is people like different movies for different reasons horror or not and not based on nostalgia. Personally I don't know anyone that wants to watch a movie that they are going to hate and bash , that really just seems pointless.

Well I've moved my blog to Tumblr .

Easier to deal with and updated far more regularly than here, might move some of the archives over there but for now it's ALL NEW!! Check it out. http://ca-ripper.tumblr.com/

Halloween Horror.

So this Halloween I will be watching at least one horror flick a day. I'm really going to dig in the archives for new things I haven't seen or movies I'm going to give a second chance. I will also focus on a lot of the Hammer films which I really never got to see. I will also be watching as much of these that I can on VHS, yeah shocking right. Anyhow so far I have watched Son of Frankenstein, House of Frankenstein, Ghost of Frankenstein, Evil of Frankenstein and Halloween ('85 Media VHS) twice. I really want to revisit some slashers I haven't seen in a long while like The Mutilator, Death Spa, Iced , The Prey, Moon Stalker, Savage Weekend, Edge of The Axe and NY Ripper. Also some the SOV greatness of 555, Creaturerealm, Things 3, The House That Screamed, Blood Cult, Video Violence and something from Todd Sheets. I will post what I watch as the days go by.

Best Horror films by sub-genre.

So in response to the Nintendo Nerds video I post my fave films of the same sub-genre as him. So I tried to do these off the top of my head like he did and is soley based on how much I enjoy watching the film and how it stands up to repeated viewings. Here is my list- Vampire- Fright Night Frankenstein- Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man Werewolf- Dog Soldiers Mummy- Dawn of the Mummy Zombie- City of the Living Dead Alien- The Thing (82)
