- Jamie Lee Curtis's wig from the 1981 film Halloween II: It's not the only reason why I love that movie, but it certainly is many of the reasons why I love that movie.
- Do we really need the "20 Years Later" subtext for Halloween H20? I never met anyone who didn't understand what the "H20" was all about, and even though we all say "H-Two-Oh" instead of "H-Twenty," no one was thinking "Halloween H-Two-Oh" meant that the movie was called Halloween Water. Although maybe that's me making my anecdotal experience universal. GASP I would never!
- Side note to H20: Steve Miner appears many times on this list, yet he is never really talked about as one of horror's iconic directors. It's like his movies direct themselves or something.
- A reader on House of Wax: The tank tops! Shirtless Chad Michael Murray! The fingertip snip! The My Chemical Romance closing credits!!! I will never apologize for my love of this movie. Peak 2000s viewing."
- Hello, I am the last horror fan remaining who has not seen Late Night with the Devil.
- But I have seen The Bad Seed and you know what? Justice for Rhoda. Can any of us really say we would not resort to murder if we felt robbed of a Penmanship Award?
The Bad Seed has some of my favorite names, poor Claude Daigle and his suffering mother Hortense Daigle
ReplyDelete(creepy voice) "Y'ever give a girl a 'hortense daigle'?"
DeleteI haven't seen Late Night with the Devil yet either, but it's one of my movie picks for this year's Halloween along with Talk to Me (which I'm sure will make an appearance as we move into the top 100.) I've heard very good things about both of these films, so I'm expecting them to show up on my list too come next SHOCKtober.
ReplyDeleteOoh! Finally something new-ish I've seen--I can vouch for Talk to Me, I really liked that one
DeleteI *literally* just finally saw LNwtD this past weekend; it's finally on Hulu (I only get Hulu & Criterion, plus the wonderful freeness of Tubi.) I quite liked it - I understand people's reservations with it, but what bothered some people didn't bother me.
DeleteIt wasn't on my list, but glad to see As Above, So Below. I liked that one.
ReplyDeleteI've never actually seen Halloween 2 (what?) and this is the first time that I've actually seen the wig that made the Chopping Block famous, and... I'm just in awe.
ReplyDeleteLaurie looks like a traumatized Eight is Enough sibling....
Haha it must be like seeing a celebrity in the wild!
