Horror Lovers Challenge. Day 3: Creepiest dead body

August 3, 2013 by robertforto Leave a Comment

I am participating in a 30 day challenge. This time it is all about horror! If you know anything about us here at the Fort you would know that we are hard core horror fans. Each October we watch a movie each night in what we dub as “The 31 Nights of Horror.”

Day 3: Creepiest dead body

The exploding dead scene in Scanners (1981) scared me to death when I was a kid. I saw this movie with my dad when it came out in the theater. I was 9 years old. This scene set the bar high for my thirst for the horror genre for years to come.

We have a Facebook page. Check us out Scary Movies at the Fort

31 Nights of Horror. Night 3: A Nightmare on Elm Street

A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) really was one of the first movies that hooked me on the horror genre. I was 13 years old living in the Washington D.C. suburbs with my two brothers, mom and step-dad. My dad would drive up a couple times a month to see us on Sunday’s from Richmond.

He would take my brother Ryan and I shopping for school clothes of something else we didn’t need, we would grab a pizza and head to the movies. Usually scary ones if they were playing.

A Nightmare on Elm Street was one of those movies that we watched with my dad. I remember it like it was yesterday. The whole premise was so warped especially for a teen in the rages of puberty and angst.

Freddy became the alter-ego of a generation of kids in the 80’s and the franchise went on to make at least a half a dozen sequels. But none of them was as good as the first. Wes Craven’s story telling about a monster in a Christmas sweater, a fedora and razor claws captured a generation and spawned myriad slasher films over the next couple of decades. Nightmare also introduced the world to a little known actor named Johnny Depp. Yep, that Johnny (oooo la la!)…

What is your favorite scary movie?
