Month of Macabre 25 - 31

31 Oct 2014

There is a monthly challenge running on Instagram at the moment called Month of Macabre. Instead of doing it on my instagram I decided it would be a great weekly post for the month of October on this blog. If you are interested in doing it yourself head over to @monthofmacabre on instagram. Tag your posts #monthofmacabre and you're good to go!

Here is the challenge/list:




25. Do The Thriller Dance: 


How about I just link to the song and you can listen to it while reading the rest of this blog? :P I'm boring like that.


26. Favourite Killer Robot: 




27. Scariest Monster: 

There is no monsters really that scares me now as an adult but as a kid I remember being afraid of most horror films. I'm going to go with one I haven't mentioned yet. I remember watching it in a friends house and being terrified after.



Critters! Look at those freaky ass guys. No wonder I was so afraid. A good few years ago I remember watching some of it again and realising that it's actually quite funny. Amazing how scary things seem as a kid but once you've gotten a little older you can see the humour in it.

I haven't seen it in years but need to watch it again. Remember this guy?!


Ug! I was googling for some images and I remembered him! That's some hair.


28. Spookiest Haunted House:


I'm sorry, but there was no better image to include! Haha! :D But seriously The Woman in Black remake is actually quite good. It's a simple ghost story and builds the tension. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it. We actually have the original as one of our Halloween movies to watch so I hope it's just as good!


29. Weirdest Horror Movie

As you can see I changed the question because I do not like torture porn one bit. So the weirdest horror movie I've ever seen goes too...



And yes. Those are actual scenes from the movie.


30. Cutest Demon/Possession: 

I don't really know about "cutest" but my favourite possession movie is The Evil Dead.


31. Best Halloween Party Scene: 



Please excuse the "hottest scene ever" title of this video. Obviously uploaded by some teenager in his basement and it was the only full video I could find but anyhow this scene is really great. If you haven't seen the film I would highly recommend watching it first before viewing this party scene as it will spoil it a lot. That's also why I'm linking it and not showing it. I can't even really say anything other than that!

So that's it guys! My Month of Macabre is all finished. To see all previous posts you can click here!

I hope you guys enjoyed and will there be any films mentioned here you'll be watching for Halloween tonight?!

Month of Macabre 08 - 17

There is a monthly challenge running on Instagram at the moment called Month of Macabre.

If you are interested in doing it yourself head over to @monthofmacabre on instagram. Tag your posts #monthofmacabre and you're good to go!

Here is the challenge/list:



08. Freakiest Circus/Sideshow: 

Look at the freak.

I wasn't sure if this was freakiest circus/sideshow in movies or in real life. But I'm going with real life because I cannot think of a circus related horror film. The question should have been freakiest clown :P

I unfortunately do not have any photos to go along with this either so I'll just put a photo of Pennywise up there because we all love him.  So my story begins with my whole family (parents and sister) heading off to a crappy local circus. We go into the tent where a show is put on and to be honest I do not remember what happened besides the freaky ass clown that went around the crowd picking people to join them (and eat their soul) on stage to play some games. And of course, of course, my daddy gets picked to go on stage. Oh the joy. Luckily he didn't get eaten and I think, maybe, his soul is still intact. Now I wouldn't go as far to say I have a phobia of clowns, I would much rather be in a room full of clowns than spiders but clowns still make me feel uneasy. Something about not being able to see what they really look like behind all the makeup. And they have to look like actual clowns. I realised this after hearing so much buzz about the clown in the new season of American Horror Story. He does not scare me in the slightest mainly because they tried way too hard and he doesn't look like a clown to me. Pennywise will always win over Twisty or whatever his name is. Anyhow, that's my story. So very boring right?

OH and look Christopher Walken as a clown.


If that doesn't have you running scared, that clown behind you will.


09. Favourite Ghost: 

This was a hard one because Steve said I should go with the ghosts in The Frighteners cos I like them but I wanted to pick the ghost witch in ParaNorman so I'm going with both of them!

I seen The Frighteners on TV years ago and loved it instantly. I can't really talk much about the main killer reaper style ghost without giving it away but he would be my favourite from it I think...

It's directed by Peter Jackson so that's why the reaper looks very awesome looking.
..Along with the dog that keeps stealing The Judge's bones. I couldn't find a gif of that which is very depressing but here's a photo of The Judge. 


And lastly you have the two main sidekicks of the movie, Stuart and Cyrus!



If you're a fan of the mystery supernatural films this is definitely one you should see! 

Paranorman is one of the best stop motion films I've ever seen. It's about a boy who can see ghosts and some zombies get raised from the dead and he must stop the witch's curse before it destroys his town. 

The witch is the ghost that I love so much in this film. I don't want to actually give too much away or even post a photo because I feel for anyone who's yet to watch it, it will be ruined on them but it's excellent and very sad. Go watch it now! 



10. Best Dracula:


I watched Nosferatu with Steve not long ago. A lot of the copies of the films were destroyed but one made it through and it's amazing. I also think the original music was also lost so there are a few Nosferatu's out there with different music. The one we watched had this amazing industrial metal sound. It's from 1989 and fits it so wonderfully. 


11. Coolest Transformation:



"If I was an imitation, a perfect imitation, how would you know if it was really me?"


12. Best Zombie Franchise: 
Changing to favourite Zombie Film:





13. Favourite Friday The 13th Moment: 


I've only actually seen the first Friday The 13th and it was awhile ago and all I remember is Kevin Bacon! Ha! He did have a great death though. The photo above was in a gallery for Footloose. I don't remember Footloose being that violent. Oh wait, the chicken scene with tractors was rather horrific.


14. Favourite Freddy Moment: 


Tina being stabbed and flung about the place in the first movie.


15. Biggest Crush:




16. Guilty Pleasure Movie:


I don't have many guilty pleasure horror movies but Tremors did come to mind as it's more of a B-movie. It's so good though and I love it and its many sequels! I hear there is going to be a fifth one! YAY! :D I think I may have to do a Tremors blog post dedicated to it as I'm a huge fan. So keep an eye out for that!

17. Ugliest Alien:


Slither is so very icky. Those slugs and what Michael Rooker changes into is just yucky.

That's all for now! I will have another up soon! :D

Thanks for reading and let me know what your answers would be!




Month of Macabre 01-07

8 Oct 2014

There is a monthly challenge running on Instagram at the moment called Month of Macabre. Instead of doing it on my instagram I decided it would be a great weekly post for the month of October on this blog. If you are interested in doing it yourself head over to @monthofmacabre on instagram. Tag your posts #monthofmacabre and you're good to go!

Here is the challenge/list:



01. Favourite Movie Killer: Anton Chigurh 



The first character that came to mind is Anton Chigurh. I know No Country For Old Men isn't a horror but oh my it has the tension. Chigurh is definitely unnerving. But then I thought of all the other great ones like Hannibal Lecter, Norman Stansfield, Jack Torrence, Hans Landa, Alex Delarge, The Joker, Patrick Bateman, Tommy Devito, Mr. Blonde!

OK so I saw a tumblr post with gifs of them all but seriously I love them. All such wonderful psychotic characters.

And lets not forget the great horror movie psychos like Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, Pennywise, Norman Bates and I'm probably forgetting a whole ton more.

But I'll go with Chigurh, mainly because he came to my mind first so he obviously left an impression.


02. Sentimental VHS Rental: 


I don't really have a great answer for this one as I never really rented horror VHS's I don't think. By the time I was old enough to be interested in horror or even rent it, it was the time of DVD's. Am I making some people feel old? :P 

I did however watch Jurassic Park on VHS to DEATH. I know every line still. I would count it as a horror especially for younger children. My sister was terrified of it when she seen it in the cinema but when I watched it on VHS something clicked and it's now one of my all time favourite movies. So so good. 


03. Creepiest Doll/Puppet: 

Look at that freaky ass bitch.
I'm going to go with a great episode of The X Files for this answer. Chinga starts with Scully going on vacation in beautiful, beautiful Maine (one day I will visit you), when she comes across a case. Of course she can't have an normal vacation. An evil doll gets attached to a little girl and lots of murders and weird goings on happen. Oh and did I mention it's written by Stephen King? Definitely one of my favourite X Files!


04. Best or Worst Remake: 

She's as horrified as us over how bad this movie is.
I know it says "or" but I'm going to go with both!

First up is best. I'm not going to go for an older movie, I'm going to try and pick a recent one because I think that's what the question means. I haven't actually watched a lot of remakes because they get such bad reviews and honestly look so terrible.

One of the better remakes of recent times would have to be Fright Night. I went to see it when there was a movie event on in Dublin. It's not something I would have picked to go see but as it was included we had to watch it and it ended up being pretty decent! Even Colin Farrell didn't suck in it (no pun intended :P). David Tennant was lots of fun and Toni Collette is just always good. So yeah, while it wasn't the most amazing movie ever, it was definitely fun and one of the better remakes out there.

One of the worst remakes?: The Grudge. I'm sorry I even watched this before the original. This one was terribly boring. I would have been 15 or 16 when I watched it I think and it didn't even scare me in the slightest. Be sure to watch the original first.


05. Funniest Horror Comedy: 


There are so many funny horror movies out there but I'm going to go with the obvious one, Shaun of the Dead!


06. Favourite Black & White Movie: 


It's a tie between Psycho and Creature from the Black Lagoon. Keep staring at that Norman Bates photo by the way.


07. Best Kill With An Object: 


Why is it you can never think of anything when you want to? I can think of plenty of ways people die in movies but I can't think of one with an object! I'm just after watching You're Next (which is great by the way and I'll have a review soon) so I'm going to go with the "blender scene". That's all I can say because if I say anymore I will be spoiling it on you guys. So for anyone who's seen it will know what I mean but if you have yet to see this movie I highly recommend it!

That's all for now! I will have another up next week! :D

Thanks for reading and let me know what your answers would be!
