Halloween Horror Movies

Morning

Normally our lovely host Jeff gives up fun and interesting topics to write about for our little group. But nooooo this week he turned it over to a man*Kage Alan* who just loves torturing folks. Sorry Red he's been hanging out with you too long. To give us this weeks topic name five Halloween movies that scare us into cardiac arrest.
Well here are my five and why.
  1. Alfred Hitchcock "Psyco" the original with Anthony Perkins and Janet Leigh. For this one it was one it was filmed in black and white. Anthony's portrayal of hotel keeper Norman Bates, he made you want to care for Norman. He made Norman likable. But it was his mother who made you feel sorry for him and yet she made him do that murder to that poor girl in the shower. See that shower scene is what made me not only stop taking showers but I was taking bubble baths for a long time. It was the psychological spin the put on the murder and how it was captured on film. After watching that no out of the way no name motels for me give me big chain hotels anytime.
  2. Stephen Kings "The Shining" staring Jack Nicholson, Shelly Duvall and Scatman Scruthers. The readon why this movie is number one cause I always read the book on Halloween so that gets my mind going and then watching the movie does not help because then it has me looking to see if I see the twin girls or if I am going to see Jack and have him say " heeeers Johnny". But it is the way it was written and then the lodge where it is set and located made me not want to do a B&B in the winter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No not me never 
  3. The next movie that creeps me out is" The Serpent and the Rainbow" I know the book was based on a true story but to know that they can actually make zombies and the some how control a person from miles away made very very nervous and wary of folks from the island of Haiti. The acting was wonderful. But even knowing folks who have family members who practice voodoo makes nervous now. Creepy movie I tell you.
  4. The next one is the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I mean friends taking. Backwoods drive in the country when their car breaks down and them I stead of getting help at a local farm they are picked off one, by one but a chainsaw wheeling mentally deranged dick. Hello you never go to the apply hose asking for help cause you gonna die!!!!! Dummies but it was the fact that leather face keep the bodies as trophies.. But the thing that got me was the one lone survivor had loaded up the car with her friends dead bodies and drove down the lane like it was all good. The crazy witch was smiling can you say one for a room a Creedmore. This movie has me not liking taking country drives at nite or on roads where I can be the next Lifetime movie of the week. Who wants to be a damn Lifetime movie of the week not I . 
  5. My last movie is not a horror movie but it is a tradition none the less. I love watching the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Between the music and the camping acting I love it. Then doing the time warp...who could not love watching this movie. 
So now you know my five favorite movies ..so what are yours. Trust me there is nothing like popcorn, drinks and a stun gun to help you get thru the first four. Happy Halloween .

  1. Nicely done, Mo. I may have to give The Serpent & the Rainbow another look. I saw it once in college and don't recall much of it.

    1. It still creeps me out. I mean I could have added more movies but I am not into gore. Psycodramas are good

  2. wonderful movies all, although I admit to still needing to see all of "The Shining"- maybe that'll be a good break at some point during Nanowrimo next month.
