maybe it will explain alot about me and who i am !!! and where my obsession for scary movies anything horror and realllllly bad slasher movies comes from !!!! so here it is people my top 5 favourite scarrrrrrry things !!! just in time for halloween !
#5 - Hocus pocus - The Craft (an everhting
in between and after!!)
Before my horror movie, slasher film, scary watching
obession, i had an obsession with these two movies !!! i reckon hocus pocus was
one of my first forays into the world of supernatural as such, and the start of
my love for witchy like movies !!! then there's the craft (which i will have to
rewatch and review for all soon) this movie is actually very near and dear to me
because it was the movie in the 90s the me my older sister and two older cousins
used to watch together religiously !! we'd even get the point of acting out
scenes together especially trying to do the whole 'light as a feather stiff as a
board' moment in the movie where they lift one of the girls off the ground with
just two fingers !!
Bette mildlers performace as one of the witches is
so memorable in Hocus Pocus and Neve campbell as one of the witches in The Craft
has always been somewhat memorable to me (funnily enough upon investiagtion The
craft came out in July of 1996 and Scream came out in December of 1996, so was a
good year for Neve Campbell) they're both just such enjoyable movies and hold
sentimental value and memories for me, and is probably one of the earliest
memories of my obsession with anything to do with the supernatural which then
extended out into my obession with scarrrrry movies !!!
#4 R.L Stine/Point Horror
Fiction
Say hello to my second gateway drug to the world
that is horror/slasher/scary !! Starting out with R.L Stines Goosebump books
when i was a just a wee tacker !! but too this day i still read R,L Stines
teenage fiction novels that are basically your average everyday stalk an slash
in a book, thats probably why i love stalk n slash movies so much !! also the
point Horror fiction with authours such as Richie Tankersley Cusick and Diane
Hoh, they are all a bunch of well written teenage fiction scary books.
I mean JUST LOOK ! at some of those titles, Lights
out ( hello gateway to friday the 13th) April Fools (Hello Gateway to april
fools day) The babysitter (Hello gateway to When a Stranger calls) i could go on
and on and on for DAYS!! about these books, the ones pictured are amoung my
favourites !! Blindfold by Diane Hoh is one of my NUMBER ONE favourite books
!! i love that damn lil booky wook !! its everything that was and i wish still
was 80's slash n stalk all in one of my favourite things of all time
A BOOK!!
i suppose it would help many to know (or not) that i
am an obsessive reader as well so i love to devour book after book after book,
so this was seriously my first foray into the world of stalk and slash and i am
also proud to say i am the owner of a extensive collection of these books that i
love soo much, i am ALWAYS on the hunt for the very rare ones that are hard to
find but i don't care if it takes me till i'm 100 one day i HOPE AND PRAY to own
each and everyone one of the R.L Stine books and Point Horror fiction !!! which
brings us to number 3 !!!
#3 80's Slasher movies
oooooooh the trash, the filth, the fun !!! 80's were
such an awesome time for movies, i am obsessed with the 80's i do love
everything about it, the bad hair the clothes THE MOVIES!! oh god those movies
that came from the 80's they were so wonderful and delicious and slasher movies
back then WHERE ACTUALLY SCARY !!!! something that this day and age SADLLLLY
lacks alot of, we are too obessed with this whole technology shit that its over
taking from great story telling and scary stalk scenes and awesome slayings that
where the pivotal moments of any 80's talks and slash movie!!
I mean look at those movie posters ALONE they are
soooooo cool, i love the friday the 13th movie poster and the april fools day
one as well !! there is just so much to love about these movies, the didn't have
the CGI and computer graphics like we do this day and age, thou they DID have
it, it wasn't ever to the extent that we have today, and i think thats what
makes these movies so fanfriggintastic, they couldn't just rely on a computer to
make special graphics !!! they had to use their smarts and brains and they used
the whole 'stalk' method to extremes back then better then anyone ever has today
!! ohh i just loveeeeee them !! i love anything 80's really
# 2 - Buffy The Vampire
Slayer/Angel
Ah the 90's they tried so hard with movies, and they
did pretty darn good with the Scream Franchise and i Know what you did last
summer, but the thing of the 90's that i remember sooooooooo much and still
watch religiously to this day is Buffy, just that name sends a happy tingle
through my body and a sigh of contentment from my lips ! i'm pretty sure
everyone from my generation up wards and possibly even a few of the newer
generation have seen buffy !!, with all these shows coming out today with
vampires and demons and werewolves its pretty damn hard to beat buffy !
Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy LOVE IT, David
Boreanz as Angel LOVE IT, i just damn well love everything about this show and
the spin off it created of angel, not only did buffy battle demons and vampires
and monsters but she was dealing with real life issues at the same time of being
a teenage and vampyr slayer !! it wasn't hard for her and i loved seeing that
they didn't make it easy for her just because she was a super hero, the
interaction between buffy and angel in the first 3 episodes, and then how they
grew apart and also together when angel left, there is SO MUCH about this show
to love, and again was another gateway for my obsession i have with scary things
!!!!
So thus brings us to number one on my list, and
probably my number one thing at the moment (tied with my scary movie obsession)
on my list of everything in Life !!!
#1 - Supernatural
What can i say really, i mean for starters LOOK AT THOSE BOYS !!! (Jenson NEEDS to call me !!!) but honestly its not all about two hots boys on my screen, there IS a real good story behind supernatural (thou over time has gotten a lil bad) season one alone is a stand out introducing us to two brothers, one who had gotten out of the 'family' business to go to collage and another (the eldest) who stayed in the 'family' business when daddy goes missing older brother Dean tracks down younger brother Sam to help him find daddy, thus thrusting Sam back into the life he ran away from and forcing them onto a journey that has spanned 8 years !!!, with the 8 season just airing on tv NOW !!
There is so much to love about this tv series,
there's vampire and werewolves and ghosts and every damn other thing you ever
dreamed was under your bed but couldn't believe was really there, they fight
them off they save people, there's demon possesion and funny one liners between
the boys or the demons they're fighting, there has to be the best
VILLIAN EVERY CREATED in a tv series or movie everrrrrrr in demon turned king of
Hell Crowely (i love me that demon) he's funny and witty and while the boys
outwit him time and time again he literally COMES BACK FROM THE DEAD !!! there's
story lines about angels as well come the fourth season lots of biblical stuff
that sometimes made me tune out cause i've never really followed that stuff but
after a few episodes i'd come to relalize that it DID interest me so paid more
attention. really all i CAN say is that I JUST LOVE SUPERNATURAL !!! its the
best of all the supernatural tv shows on tv at the moment (true blood is a good
second, and vampire diaries a nice 3rd) there really is something for EVERYONE
on this show, i recommend a watch of the episode yellow fever, hilrious to see a
tough hunter get scared of a cat in a locker (its like all those silly jump
scares from slasher films)
So there you have it, its not just movies that are
influental, theres the books and the tv shows too !!! combine them all together
and its a jumble of fun really never a dull moment for me i always have
something to do or something to watch !!! so check out some of the stuff
mentioned if you haven't seen or read them, i honestly think everyone should
experiance some R,L Stine point horror fiction in their lives, and you
DEFINATLY ABSOLUTLY WITHOUT QUESTION need to experiance some Supernatural Sam
and Dean in your life, cause if you haven't we can no longer be friends !!!
Go forth young jedi's and immerce yourself in what
is the world of SCARYYY (and fun)
