Heinous Headings


For whatever inkling I decided to search Horror on Amazon. Good site, as I'm sure you know. Thirty mindless minutes passed and I had a list of notable movie titles. Mostly, I have no idea how good these pickings are, but I could take a guess and say that they all deserved at least seven Oscars. Prepare yourself.

* One Missed Call 2 - Wait, is that a second missed call? Is it the same call stretched into a sequel? I don't get it! Still, this paradox of a name has me intrigued. (Final Destination 3 would've easily worked too, but I know that movie sucks.)

* Matango: Attack of the Mushroom People - Along the lines of fake4444's entry on childhood fears, I remember being terrified of a clip of high speed footage of some mushrooms growing. Since when could they move that fast? It was so disturbing, so unholy. Fungi as horror subjects really hasn't been done, possibly because most directors aren't willing to take the risk of giving their audience heart attacks.

* Entrails of a Virgin - I don't think anything needs explaining.

* The Stuff - Sounds like the guy behind this seemed pretty apathetic towards his own film. That could mean...Know what, no. I don't care myself. I don't know why I put this on my prestigious list...stupid movie...I hate you.

*Meatball Machine - Alright I have actually heard of this movie before, but I just like the title so much. Any name like that has to deliver on the buckets of blood. There's no beating around the bush like Silence of the Lambs or The Ring. Unless if this movie is actually about making meatballs (which could be gross and not in the good way) then I would be sorely disappointed.

So there's my first in a potential series. Four of them were foreign. I wonder if that says anything.

completely true about the final destination 3 and one missed call 2... hilarious... but other honorable mentions that should totally be on here: The Candy Snatchers - Obviously a young childs most horrible dream come true... Doctor Gore - Started reading a review for this, first line starts with, "A LOVE STORY", enough said... I spit on your corpse, I piss on your grave - LOL, your intentions are to piss off the the undead??? Great, we know how that always goes in the movies... Entrails of a beautiful woman - the sequel to entrails of a virgin, had to be almost as good but the first one scared everyone into losing their virginity... and my personal fav, and obviously deserves many oscars, you can tell just by the title and it needs no explaining, Porno Holocaust
