A good thing

While 15 clown kills is always a good thing, I can't help but think if that were pirates, or better yet, US Navy Seals, the clown body count would have been much higher.

From father to daughter- Bubs-ette's favorite films

Well, my dad just tagged me with this movie list dealy. It seems pretty fun, so I figure I'll fill it out. See if you can guess my favorite genre at the end!

An American Werewolf in London- "A naked American man stole my balloons!"

Bad Taste- humans, the ultimate fast food experience

Children of the Corn- and people wonder why I don't usually like kids...

Dead Alive- "I kick ass for the lord!"

Evil Dead 2- "Groovy."

Frankenhooker- supercrack

Genesis- I love short films

The Haunting (the original)- probably the scariest movie I've ever seen

Ichi the Killer- one of the craziest things I've ever seen

Jason X- so bad it's good

Killer Klowns from Outer Space- way scarier than I thought it would be, great theme song too

Land of the Dead- "Zombies man, they creep me out."

Martin- is he a vampire?

Night of the Living Dead (the original)- the first and greatest flesh eating zombie film

The Omega Man- Heston...cool? It totally works though!

Pan's Labyrinth- magnificent

Queen of the Damned- I know it sucks, but it reminds me of being 15

Return of the Living Dead- "You mean the movie lied?"

Slither- great cast, great gore, great movie

Teeth- so very, very wrong

Urban Legend- the first one was kinda fun

Vampyres- who doesn't love early 70s British lesbian vampire movies?

Whatever Happened to Baby Jane- I don't even know what to say, it's so scary

X-Men- I can't think of any other one, so I'll keep mom's

Young Frankenstein- GENIUS!

Zombi (or Zombie 2 if you prefer)- Lucio Fulci, what's with the eye injuries?!

This list is vastly incomplete and neglects loads of great films, but it'll have to do.

Great news for horror fans

I like it when I get home from work and accidentally find some piece of news that puts me in a good mood before bed.

Hammer Films, the British company that gave me some of my favorite scary movies as a kid, is shooting a new horror film for the first time in 30 years! For those of you unfamiliar with Hammer, they produced a fantastic string of horror movies in the late 50's and 60's.

They remade the Universal classics (The Curse of Frankenstein and The Horror of Dracula) and went on to give us one of the greatest gifts in the entire history of popular culture, the lesbian vampire movie. And they introduced us to Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee.

The new movie is titled The Wake Wood, and it's shooting in Donegal, Ireland, with some backing from the Irish Film Board.

I will sleep well tonight.
