#horrormovieadvent #day24 The prompt is #christmas
My pick is Gremlins! The snow, Corey Feldman as a Christmas tree and the intense connection to Gizmo's emotional state make it a perfect way to finish up the advent calendar.

My pick is Gremlins! The snow, Corey Feldman as a Christmas tree and the intense connection to Gizmo's emotional state make it a perfect way to finish up the advent calendar.
#horrormovieadvent #day23 The prompt is #zombies
My pick is Sean of the Dead, a surprisingly relatable movie about zombies in modern life. It's well executed, funny and holds up to repeated watches.
#horrormovieadvent #day22 The prompt is #FolkHorror
My pick for this one is The Wicker Man (1973) Mystery, intrigue, a swinging 70's soundtrack, a cult, creepy masks - what more could I ask for?
#horrormovieadvent #day21 The prompt is #LastGirl
There are SO many great characters that embody the Last Girl troupe, it was a hard call but I am going with the original Scream and 90's badass Sidney Prescott. This movie came out at the perfect time to capture my teenaged horror movie nerd's heart.
@Goretta_Synn Donnie Darko (2001) A lonely boy is plagued by visions and a 6β tall rabbit named Frank in this critically acclaimed indie classic.

@Goretta_Synn House (1977) is a great one. I'd probably put in the "surreal" pile like Eraserhead. And I love that it was written by a child.

I was thinking about Wishmaster last night, trying to figure out a way to make a wish that won't end badly. I think I settled on wishing the Djinn would be my best friend.
Anyway, Wishmaster is set in our world but unleashes a Djinn who is always asking people to "make your wishes" so he can turn them into something awful and murder you and your friends.
Like, Tony Todd's "I want to escape" from his life and he's put inside a water tank in a straitjacket like he's Houdini. Come on, Djinn. Really? That's a stretch, like a huge stretch.
I love the ending of the first one, as well. The protagonist makes the smartest possible wish.
#horrormovieadvent #day20 The prompt is #MagicalRealism
My pick for a horror film that utilizes magical realism is the experimental horror comedy House (1977). House presents magic and absurdism in a matter of fact way that only a plot line created by the imagination of a 12 year old girl can accomplish. It is delightful, weird, goofy, off-putting and simply the best.
