Today’s horror scene that I love comes from 2002’s Bubba Ho-Tep!
Bruce Campbell is Elvis!
Today’s horror scene that I love comes from the 1997 French film, Two Orphan Vampires.
I knew that I really wanted to share a scene from Two Orphan Vampires on this date. It’s my favorite Jean Rollin film. Unfortunately, most of the really good scenes have been taken off of YouTube. That said, I do like the way Rollin uses the color blue in this scene and the opening image of those two blind vampires walking across the bridge is still a strong one. When viewed out of context, the attack on the poet may be seen weak but actually it’s just another example of Rollin’s dream-like aesthetic. If the attack on the poet seems fake, that may be because it wasn’t supposed to have really happened.
Watch the film and it’ll make sense.
Today’s horror scene that I love is from 1992’s Candyman.
For the record, after watching this film, I stood in front of a mirror and I said Candyman three times. I’m waiting until I have something to be mad about before I say it two more times.
Today’s horror scene that I love comes from 1987’s Evil Dead II!
Yes, it’s that scene…
Today’s Horror Scene that I love comes from 1981’s The Howling.
In this scene, a news anchor played by Dee Wallace attempts to prove to the world that vampires exist. Unfortunately, even in 1981, television audiences were pretty jaded.
Today’s horror scene that I love is from 1980’s The Shining.
(As much as I loved It and regardless of King’s own opinion, Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining remains the best Stephen King adaptation to date.)
I’ve seen this scene a hundred times.
It still freaks me out.
Today’s horror scene that I love comes from Jean Rollin’s surrealistic 1979 masterpiece, Fascination.
Below, you’ll fin the opening 6 minutes of Fascination, which contains some of the best examples of Rollin’s dream-like imagery. The dance on the bridge remains one of his most haunting images.
Today’s horror scene I love is from 1973’s The Exorcist.
If you’re a true horror fan, this scene should need no introduction.
Today’s horror scene that I love comes from 1970’s La Vampire Nue. This film was directed by the brilliant French surrealist, Jean Rollin.
What is this scene about? To be honest, what it’s about is less important than how it looks and how it makes you feel. As a director, Jean Rollin specialized in bringing dreams and nightmare to cinematic life. (That said, as surreal as this scene may be, it’s actually one of the more straight forward moments to be found in Rollin’s filmography.)
Today’s horror scene that I love comes from 1968’s Night of Living Dead. (Read Arleigh’s review here and Gary’s review here.)
“They’re coming to get you, Barbara…”
“Stop it! You’re ignorant!”
Okay, this may not be a popular opinion but I’m just going to say it: Johnny was a jerk and he kinda got what he deserved. Nice gloves, though.
Run, Barbara, run!
