  • Ashy Slashy

    I tend not to like slasher movies. It saddens me to see humans attacking humans, usually for no good reason. I see that enough in real life. I’d much rather see humans coming together to defeat a common foe, like a monster or a demon, or a ghost. Anything supernatural, really. That’s so much more… uplifting.

    That said, I do like a few. Here they are.

    1. Scream
    2. Halloween
    3. Child’s Play
    4. Scream 3
    5. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

  • The Future Tornadoes Want: Twister

    Jo and Bill approach an F5 twister in Jo’s truck.

    When Jan de Bont released Twister in May of 1996, he probably thought he was being sneaky. He probably didn’t expect anyone to figure out that he’d made a horror film in which the monster represents the death of heteronormativity in the American nuclear family structure. He probably thought he got away with it. Well, I’ve got bad news for you, Jan…

    Twister is one of my all-time favourite comfort food disaster movies, and I absolutely love Sarah Gailey’s take on it.
