30 Day Horror Challenge Strikes Back Day 15

30 Day Horror Challenge Strikes Back Day 15: Killer who is such a pussy you could easily take them out yourself: There are sadly quite a few of these in modern horror. But I'm going with the one who annoys me the most... pretty much any of us could've taken out those obnoxious little douchebags in Scream. So I'm going to pick the aliens from Signs. Hell, I have a dozen small bottles of water for my hedgehogs that basically equal an apocalyptic end to their day. Who the fuck invades a planet that is 70% water when it's the ONE THING THAT INSTANTLY KILLS THEM? Not only are they pussies, they're stupid too. Bad form.

30 Day Horror Challenge Strikes Back Day 14

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 

There will be updates galore today! Mostly because this is my favorite day of the year, and also the one bright side of it falling midweek is that I have all my festivities, debauchery and drunkenness planned for the weekend. So I have plenty of (sober!) time to virtually celebrate here. Woohoo!


30 Day Horror Challenge Strikes Back Day 14: Favorite Zombie: It's a three-way tie for this one... Trash from Return of the Living Dead 3 (C'mon, she's a hot masochist chick!), Tar Man also from the RoTLD series (Because he makes me want to give him a hug... and a sandwich) and R from Warm Bodies (because I am a sappy motherfucker).

30 Day Horror Challenge Strikes Back Day 13

30 Day Horror Challenge Strikes Back Day 13: 13 of your personal favorite lines in horror movies. (The original question was "Character you'd like to swap clothes with" but what the fuck? Are we 12 year old girls here? Listen, I'd always rather be naked or wearing rope. When neither is an option I'll wear whatever I feel comfiest in. Fashion bores the shit out of me. /ENDRANT) So without further adieu, 13 of my favorite lines from horror movies...

1. "Wolfman's got nards!" -Fat Kid (aka Horace) in The Monster Squad (1987)

2. "Get over here and die while you still have the option of doing it quickly!" - Pinhead in Hellraiser III (1992)

3. "Dude, that goalie was pissed about something." - Random Dead Meat Kid in Freddy vs. Jason (2003)

4. "No. I just like to read the T.V. Guide. Read the T.V. Guide, you don't need a t.v." - Grandpa in The Lost Boys (1987)

5. "Eat a bowl of fuck. I am here to PARTY!" - Stooge in Night of the Demons (1988)

6. "She stuck a lipstick in her boob and it fell out of her pussy!... Okay?!" - Jason in Night of the Demons (2010)

7. "He's dead, honey, because Mommy killed him." - Marge in A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

8. "Oh, no tears please. It's a waste of good suffering!" - Pinhead in Hellraiser (1987)

9. "You ain't leading but two things right now: Jack and Shit, and Jack just left town." - Ash in Army of Darkness (1992)

10. "Well, this is not a boat accident! And it wasn't any propeller; and it wasn't any coral reef; and it wasn't Jack the Ripper! It was a shark." - Hooper in Jaws (1975)

11. "Who died and made you fucking king of the zombies?" -Ed in Shaun of The Dead (2004)

12. "You know, I don't think I've got it in me to shoot my flatmate, my mum, and my girlfriend all in the same night." - Shaun in Shaun of The Dead (2004)

13. "It’s Halloween, everyone’s entitled to one good scare." - Sheriff Brackett in Halloween (1978)

30 Day Horror Challenge Strikes Back Day 12

30 Day Horror Challenge Strikes Back Day 12: Favorite villain (non-human): This is another tough one but I've got to go with Pumpkinhead. One of Stan Winston's best creations from back in the pre-CGI day of practical effects. Great movie, great character! It's a revenge story that allows you to first root for the much-deserved vengeance being meted out and then slowly come to understand how it can get out of control and why the main character regrets it. Good stuff! 

For the record until googling up this image, I had never noticed that Pumpkinhead has nipples. Kind of makes me wonder about his, uh... Pumpkin junk? But then I'm a pervert.

Quickie catch-up on Horror Challenge... Days 4 - 9

[SPOILERS! If you haven't seen Cabin in the Woods, don't read on!]

30 Day Horror Challenge Strikes Back Day 4: Favorite final girl: Dana from Cabin in the Woods. Not only is she badass and takes a hell of a beating but she's still got the presence of mind at the very end to say "Fuck the whole world." My kinda girl.

 

30 Day Horror Challenge Strikes Back Day 5: Characters you most want to have a twisted, depraved fiveway with: (note: the original question was 'Character you think is secretly gay' but I find that to be dull and mildly offensive, thus I'm substituting my own, OVERTLY offensive one.) My fantasy horror character fourway... Pinhead, Headless Horseman, Pyramid Head and Angela from the Night of The Demons remake - in her human or demon form (preferably both).

 

 

30 Day Horror Challenge Strikes Back Day 6: Character you want to fuck: Woohoo! I get to choose yet one more. Okay since you already know my Top Four, let's round it out with...

Anglique from Hellraiser IV - I bet she'd be great with a whip. I'd just have to have a little talk with all the Cenobites about the importance of respecting safewords. ;)

30 Day Horror Challenge Strikes Back Day 7: Favorite villain (human):

This is a tough one for me. I prefer supernatural horror. Give me demons, werewolves, un-sparkly vampires and ghosts and ghouls of all kinds over a human villain. But if I MUST choose, then I've got to go with a pair of them... Steven and Evelyn Stockard-Price from the 1999 remake of House on Haunted Hill. What can I say? Their seething hatred for one another gives me warm fuzzies.  ♥

30 Day Horror Challenge Strikes Back Day 8: Character you would want as your friend: This was a tough one. I'm going to have to go with Shaun from Shaun of the Dead. Much like all of my IRL friends, he's hardcore, funny and loyal as hell.

Hell, even if I became a zombie, Shaun would still hang out and play Portal with me. ♥

30 Day Horror Challenge Strikes Back Day 9: Your Personal Top 5 Underrated Horror Films (This on was originally 'Most Offensive Character' but that kinda bored me so I'm again substituting my own question.) So for underrated horror flicks, in no particular order...

1. Event Horizon
2. My Bloody Valentine (the original)
3. The Last Will and Testament of Rosalind Leigh
4. Night of the Demons (the remake)
5. Dreamscape

Note that these aren't the best horror movies ever made, just a few fun little flicks that I think are a good time and don't get as much love as they deserve.

30 Day Horror Challenge Strikes Back Day 11

30 Day Horror Challenge Strikes Back Day 11: Vamp you would let bite you: I'm not even going to try and defend 12 year old me's crush on a dude with a mullet (and let's not kid ourselves here, Kiefer was rocking full on business in the front, party in the back), I'm just saying that even all these years later, I'd still let David bite me. C'mon guys, who wouldn't??

Of course, assuming the character is ageless, that means he's still in his very early twenties thus making me a Cougar if I were to go after him now. I'm strangely okay with this. But he'll have to lose the mullet first. A girl has standards!

30 Day Horror Challenge Strikes Back Day 10

30 Day Horror Challenge Strikes Back Day 10: Character you wish you could slap some sense into: Good lord, I want to slap some sense into MOST of them. But I'm going to go with EVERYONE in the Nightmare on Elm Street remake. "Hey here's our local preschool... AND HERE'S THE CREEPY MOTHERFUCKER WHO LIVES IN THE BASEMENT!" What in the serious fuck? Why did that strike nobody in that film's Universe as a Very Bad Idea? *Slaps*

And yes, I'm aware that he didn't look like that when he was alive. But I stand by my What The Fuckery. I don't care if the dude looked like the lovechild of Mr. Rogers and Captain Kangaroo, he was LIVING IN THE BASEMENT OF A GODDAMN PRESCHOOL! Christ on a whole wheat cracker. *SMH*

So thanks very much btw to the folks reading me. I'm excited to post some longer articles soon. Just getting my feet wet (giggety?) with the Horror Challenge and enjoying it very much.
