31 Horror Movies I Own #4: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) Another horror film that gets a bad wrap for being “too dated”, the original TCM still holds its place among the top of the very small list of movies that actually scare me. The key to the scariness of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is

31 Horror Movies I Own #3: May May stands out as one of my favorites because it’s so far from the typical horror-film plot that it’s wholly unlike anything else I’ve seen. It’s like a horror movie wrapped around a super-creepy psychological thriller, and the unique thing about May is May, herself. Angela Bettis plays
31 Horror Movies I Own #2: Jeepers Creepers I know people complain about Jeepers Creepers being too slow, but the way Director Victor Salva paced this thing is pure perfection.

#2: Most Ridiculous Horror Movie Deaths EVER: Stabbed with a Corn Cob Finally! I started this (which was supposed to be a regular series of posts) wayyyyy back in August ‘08 with Rose McGowan’s “death by garage door” in Scream…and I’ve just never gotten around to posting another one until now. This one’s from Sleepwalkers,
Daybreakers This is one of those films that several people have recommended to me, and I avoided it mainly because I hate Ethan Hawke with a burning, fiery passion-but that’s another issue for another time. Daybreakers surprised me in a few ways:
I stumbled across this 2008 horror flick via a Netflix suggestion – which I had somehow completely managed to miss despite my years-long crush on Thora Birch. Entitled simply “Train” (rumors abound that it was supposed to be a remake of 1980’s Terror Train but then the plot changed), this thing is basically Hostel on
