Why do older horror movies Rock?
It’s true that, for the most part, these days I’m not watching horror flicks with my kiddoes around. I have to do it late at night after they’re asleep (which is sometimes very late) and frankly, I just don’t have the “grapes.”
It stinks … but there is a lot to parenting that kicks ass, so I’ll deal with it.
Most of the horror movies I know and love were made in the past, but not all of them were in the 90’s when I was hitting the theater as a teen - or after ‘77 when I was born. Many of them were tempered favorites of the ages … Alice Sweet Alice, Monkey Shines, the Beast Within. The Thing.
It seems that each decade has it’s own flavor of horror. I’m here so you can sample a taste, not just hear about the lastest remake blockbuster.
That’s why you should bookmark me, keep coming back for more, subscribe to my RSS feed, etc. That, and to find out what’s in store for the loyal, dedicated readers of a Frightfully fun blog with some mysterious twists all its own.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, the kids are outside playing. It’s time to put a movie on…
