Black Christmas (1974)- Bob Clark gave us so many good movies; Porky's, A Christmas Story, Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things, and this, one of the first and best "Slasher " flicks. This is a pretty great movie for being 25 years old, and one of the first to give us the "sorority girls being picked off one by one" angle; also, this movie did the whole "caller in the house" thing first too. It's not very bloody, but it's fairly creepy and a bit demented, and worth having in any horror collection.
An American Werewolf in London (1981)- This is my second favorite werewolf movie ever, although many say it's the best; either way, it is an amazing movie, with some of the best transformation FX you'll ever see. Kinda comedy, mostly horror, this movie is just plain old fun, and it has its creepy moments too. You really should own this one, or at the very least, see it as soon as possible.
Interview With the Vampire (1994)- Despite the massive homosexual overtones in this movie, I find myself loving it; don't get me wrong, I'm down with the gays, but I'm just not used to seeing the subject matter explored in horror movies. I think this is pretty much a classic vampire story; the romantic aspect, plenty of blood and biting, drama, intrigue... and Tom Cruise before he went bat shit crazy! I wasn't a fan of the books, or the crap sequel, but I have to recommend this movie.
The Descent (2005)- A bunch of chicks that decide to go cave exploring get trapped far underground and are set upon by a bunch on mongoloid mutants... how can you not love that? This movie is dark, and at times hard to see, but it's really effective and worth straining your eyes for. It was a pretty fresh idea in a decade where remakes seem to rule the horror world, and I'm glad they're making a sequel.
See you tomorrow with #11...
