Are they ranked? No! They are all tied for #1. Is this definitive? Who cares! They are the couples I immediately thought of. You are welcome to cite any other hot babe couples in horror movies. Viva les lists!
HOT BABE COUPLES IN HORROR MOVIES
GEORGE AND KATHY LUTZ IN THE AMITYVILLE HORROR (1979)
If someone makes a movie about my fake paranormal experiences, I can only hope that I will be portrayed by someone as hot as Margot Kidder or James Brolin at the height of their hot powers.
ALISON PARKER AND MICHAEL LERMAN IN THE SENTINEL (1977)
Chris Sarandon and Cristina Raines really put the hot in this hot mess of a movie!
MARGARET WALSH AND PETE DANNER IN THE LEGACY (1978)
I love The Legacy perhaps more than it deserves. But even if I didn't, I'd watch it anyway just for the sweatered-up romance between real life couple Sam Elliott and Katharine Ross.
PICKETT SMITH AND KAREN CROCKETT IN FROGS (1972)
They only knew each other for like fifteen minutes before the frogs took over the Crockett compound, but no matter. Sam Elliott without his moustache? Also no matter. Look at those babes!
SUSIE BANNION AND SARA SIMMS IN SUSPIRIA (2018)
I keep hoping their story will play out differently, but no matter how many times I watch this movie it never does. Huh, weird.
RHONDA JOHNSON AND HER OVERSIZED NOVELTY SAFETY PIN IN KILLER WORKOUT (1987)
The couple that slays together, etc etc. I know I said this list wasn't a ranking, but let's be real. None of the other couples can compete. The tanning bed wasn't the only time Rhonda was sizzling!
JESS AND PETER IN BLACK CHRISTMAS (1974)
So toxic! So violent! So...babes!
BOB AND LYNDA IN HALLOWEEN (1978)
Every slasher movie with a Final Girl needs at least one Not Final Girl, and boy oh boy is Lynda a Not Final Girl. She hates school but loves Doing It, two qualities that rarely let a woman survive until the end credits roll. I love her. And I love Bob, who shows up in the film solely to screw and get killed.
RED AND DUANE IN PSYCHO III (1986)
What are they doing! Absolutely bonkers and so sleazy I caught crabs just looking at those screencaps.
KURT BARLOW AND RICHARD STRAKER IN SALEM'S LOT (1979)
You heard me! If Mr. Barlow didn't have that whole "vampire" issue, these two would be running an antiques shop together and dishing with Paul Lynde out in Palm Springs. For real though, Salem's Lot is...really something when it comes to gay shit. Whilst reading, I downed a shot of Franzia every time a character uttered a slur or said something hateful in the novel and I've been dead for decades.
Okay, I just thought of, like, four more couples that I didn't include. Sigh. Mondays, amirite?
Yesssss! Such a sexy list! My additions would be:
ReplyDeleteElizabeth and Ilona - Daughters of Darkness
Laura and John - Don't Look Now
Love those sexy 70s looks!
Oooh great additions! Honestly the 70s was probably the last truly sexy decade
DeleteSolid picks! Maybe Allison and Ferdy or Suzie and Greg, Chopping Mall?
ReplyDeleteThis is a good reminder that I need more--nay, ANY--Chopping Mall content around here!
DeleteThe Michael Greer/Antira Ford/Joy Bang thruple from Messiah of Evil - very stylish and sexy. (still not as sexy as Sam Elliott, Katharine Ross, and the cat, though).
ReplyDeleteYESSSSSSS just add hammock
DeleteMIchael (or David) and Starr from THE LOST BOYS.
ReplyDeleteKurt Russell and Adrienne Barbeau's disembodied computer voice in the Thing, and Paul Newman and Faye Dunaway in horror adjacent the Towering Inferno.
ReplyDeleteNote: When I open this entry, the picture of Margot Kidder and James Brolin is cut right at Brolin's nose, and above the fold James Brolin looks just like Michael Landon in Little House.
Or James Woods and true goddess Deborah Harry............Maybe Dan and Meghan from ReAnimator (Barbara Crampton is still truly awesome in her 70's:?1? - how can that be)
ReplyDeleteBarbara Crampton surely has a Dorian Gray withered painting in her attic, she looks incredible!
DeleteYou guys know your hot babe couples, I love this ㅠㅠ
ReplyDeleteAnother vote for Allison and Ferdy from Chopping Mall - so wholesome!
ReplyDeleteAlso Elizabeth and *Valerie* in Daughters of Darkness. Elizabeth understood Valerie's needs better than bloody Stefan did.
I can't believe I left out DoD, it's perfect
DeleteI feel like we’re all overlooking the obvious ultimate hot babe pairing. Peggy Lipton and June Squibb!!!
ReplyDeleteIf only!
DeleteElizabeth and Sue for the ultimate in hot girl toxicity (The Substance)
ReplyDeleteGOSH I LOVE THE SUBSTANCE
DeleteOh yes, have to thumbs up Joan Van Ark & Sam Elliott in Frogs. But esp Sam. When he took his shirt off to jump in the water (to dislodge the boat I think?), it was a genuine Rewind Moment.
