The Thing (1982) Directed by John Carpenter

Horror is other people. Especially other people who are actually super scary alien doppelgängers who want to take you and harvest your flesh and turn it into their own scary fucked up flesh.

Snake Pliskan. I thought you were dead. Oh wait, wrong timeline.

Have you seen my spider crab head friend?

Oh, there he is!

Never stick your frozen hands in the wood chipper.

Fetch!

It's called the monster mash.

Night of the Comet (1984) Directed by Thom Eberhardt

Ok, don't be scared. Night of the Comet may seem like total 80s horror fluff but you'd be so wrong to dismiss it as such. It has zombies, and comets, and badass gun toting girls, and secret government creeps, and shootouts in malls, and new wave zombie dudes. Yeah, ok. It's total 80's horror fluff but it's one of my faves. Like totally.

Eh hmm. Damn "teenagers" with their uzis being all loud.

Did't they teach you not to stare directly into the comet?

Do you know how fast you were driving there miss?

Just a little holiday shopping.

 

I'm like totally not scared of comets, or zombies, or the night.

I hear ya buddy.

Les Yeux Sans Visage (1960) Directed by Georges Franju

aka: Eyes Without a face

Georges Franju wrote a horror love letter to France. I love you but you must cease your contempt of horror, and through the lens of Henri-Georges Clouzot's Les Diaboliques (1955) and this beautiful and horrific film they did. Horror as art was now alive and well in France.

Such a pretty face. Are you attached to having it?

She wanders as a ghost with no home.

Pardon me, did you see a face laying around here? I've misplaced mine.

I feel pretty. Oh so pretty.

The doctor is in. Who wants a new face?

Does this smell like chloroform to you?

Don't know about you but I'm hungry for some pepperoni pizza.

Trick 'r Treat (2007) Directed by Michael Dougherty

Sam, the tiniest little pumpkin-headed killer.

If the elf only knew.

Wrong way. Wrong way.

On the bus to nowhere.

What are you up to Sam? No good.

Always check your candy.

Sookie riding hood.

The jack-o-lantern is flames.

Halloween cpr.

The Exorcist III (1990) Directed by William Peter Blatty

One of my favorite sequels of all time. 

Hey, what's your sign? Gemini.

Grandma's on the ceiling again.

...and god sent down one of his mighty soldiers, the angel Fabio, to smite those born of evil.

Boo.

Nurse. Your terrifying scene awaits you...

L'Exorciste!

The Witch (2016) Directed by Robert Eggers

Black Phillip, Black Phillip 

A crown grows out his head,
Black Phillip, Black Phillip 
To nanny queen is wed.
Jump to the fence post,
Running in the stall.
Black Phillip, Black Phillip 
King of all.

Black Phillip, Black Phillip 

King of sky and land,

Black Phillip, Black Phillip 

King of sea and sand.

We are ye servants,

We are ye men.

Black Phillip eats the lions

From the lions' den.

Corruption, thou art my father!

We will conquer this wilderness. It will not consume us.

I am that very witch. When I sleep my spirit slips away from my body and dances naked with The Devil. That's how I signed his book.

Baaaaaaaah. Baaaaah.

Wouldst thou like the taste of butter? A pretty dress? Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?

Return of the Living Dead (1985) Directed by Dan O'Bannon

 RIP James Karen.  

One of the best punk rock zombies films ever made. Okay, one of the only punk rock zombie films ever made but this movie shaped me as a child and I fucking love it for that.

"Watch your tongue, boy, if you like this job!"

Brrrrrraaaaaaiiiiinnnnnssssss...

"You think this is a fucking costume? This is a way of life."

Do you ever wonder about all the different ways of dying? You know, violently? And wonder, like, what would be the most horrible way to die?

Nope.

Zombies ordering take-out.

"Trash is taking off her clothes again!"
