Horror Movies As A Child's Play One Or Bride Of Chucky

The Shining and Brian De Palma’s Carrie. It’s a primal sequence, scary on its face, but

Picking out a movie can be difficult to choose, because it depends on your mood. You should try to watch a movie that will have you on the edge of your seat, making you laugh, covering your eyes and with a little romance. The Mummy (Daniel, Jacks & Sommers, 1999) is a movie that has adventure, laughter, horror and love.

John Carpenter’s Halloween was released in the fall of 1978; little did he know, his independent film would change the face of slasher films as we know it. This film was responsible for ushering in what we recognize today as modern horror. With a budget of just over $300,000, Halloween was shot in 20 days. It went on to become the highest grossing independent film of all time bringing in over $60 million until 1990; however, this film was not an instant success (Halloween UnMasked, 1999). Halloween also brandished a newer type of hero - a heroine. Jamie Lee Curtis has become known as the Scream Queen as a result of this film where she paved the way for other heroines in the slasher genre.

Steven Spielberg’s, Jaws is an instant classic horror film that’ll bring shivers down a viewer’s spine and has them ready

Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho is a true masterpiece of a horror film. It is perfect in everything from unpredictable plot to music. However, Hitchcock’s Psycho is a notable film of horror and thriller genres due to excellent actors’ performances, interesting use of sound effects, well-crafted mise-en-scenes and realistic and complex characters.

One of the most famous horror films not just of the 1960's but of all

Not to be confused with the franchise movies, this little-known film, directed by Daniel Erickson, is in a class by itself. Equal parts creepy and funny, this Halloween-themed movie follows an incredibly paranoid young man who believes an escaped maniac is hiding in the neighborhood "House of Horrors".

At the beginning of the film, it is 1963 and two amorous teenagers are making out on the couch. They go up to her bedroom to fool around and, afterward, the guy leaves. The young woman, sitting naked at her vanity and combing her hair, is startled when her little brother bursts into her room wearing a clown costume. While she screams in confusion and terror, he stabs her repeatedly until her lifeless body falls to the floor.

The movie is about a malevolent clown that eats the children during a specific period.

It was a late October night when it all happened. Scared as ever I started walking up to the line. I was at the back of the line with three of my other friends, Jackie, Alli, and Marissa. They were as scared as I was because of the environment around us. I was shaking like my mommas zumba weight. We were standing in line with Jackie in front, Alli was after, then Marissa, and I was last. All we could hear was the music and chainsaws inside as we were in line. When we heard the chainsaws we wanted to leave but we had already paid at this point. Right before we were about to go in the haunted house a small doll with the name Chucky came up to us and said “Do you wanna play?” his voice was soft and his face was filled with cuts. He looked as

Most modern scary movies are jam packed with gushing gore, high-pitched screaming, and fascinating special effects. The storylines are super predictable of modern horror movies. In the film The Haunting based on the book by Shirley Jackson by not once do you see a ghost or blood, but it is just as, if not more, frightening as any other movie. The Haunting plays with your mind. This movie will definitely make you think twice about everything you observe while watching it. This movie made me ponder on everyday life. What truly is our reality? Are people we see as “mentally ill” the ones who are actually experiencing the true reality of the world? How do I know my reality is the same as everyone else's?

The Exorcist (1973) directed by William Friedkin, also the director the film The French Connection (1971), presents a very shocking and horror-filled story about the invasion of demonic spirits into the body of an innocent twelve-year old girl and the subsequent destruction of her life. The Exorcist (1973), like Roman Polanski’s film, Rosemary’s Baby (1968), plays upon the similar idea of demonic possession. Linda Blair, who plays the part of Regan, a twelve-year old girl, makes a terrific debut as a girl who is so helpless in the clutches of the demonic spirit of Pazuzu that she, inadvertently, self-mutilates, rotates her head 360 degrees, and creates for a movie that is frightening, nauseating, and a horror-filled masterpiece. We are first

(It 's worth noting that these moments are used outside of horror films, too. There is a famous one in the beginning of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), when Bilbo Baggins is presented with the One Ring. This scene is widely recognized as a "scary" moment in a non-horror film, and is hardly ever critically derided, despite being a completely textbook, by-the-numbers "jump scare" - complete with an almost cartoonish "scary face" on Bilbo 's part, if you actually pause to look at it as a still image.)

As I grew older my views on what I fear change. As a child, I developed a fear of little things such as ghosts, the dark, etc. Once I grow into an adult I developed a of things observed on a daily. Americans between the age group of children and adolescents introduce themselves to bigger fears by watching movies that replayed on the already experienced fears. Conversely movies such as : Freddy Krueger, Jason, Vampires, Werewolves, etc. Many people in society watch these horror movies and are brought to an assumption that directors based the movies on serial killers, who become glorified for the crimes committed and made into tremendous stars that we love. In the film Halloween, a little boy name Michael Myers kills his sister at the age of six. Twenty years later, Michael return 's to his home town Haddonfield, Illinois to kill a group of teenagers that appear around his deceased sister age. Halloween identifies as one of those gruesome films that you question, due to he was a six year old when he first killed. To society Michael exemplify monster qualities taking into account at that age, how can someone so young stab his sister or anyone to death. Michael Myers poses as a Monster in America, he demonstrates traits of the devil in him and express his hate by killing his family, by existing in a dysfunctional family.

Slasher films were first introduced in the 1960’s with Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho. The movie begins by introducing a seemingly trustworthy character, Marion Crane, who is having a secret affair with a man named Sam Loomis, whom she cannot marry due to alimony issues from his previous marriage. Being fed up because she cannot begin a life with the man that she loves, she decides to do something about it. Once being given $40,000 in cash to deposit to a local bank for her employer, the trustworthy character trait that she beholds vanishes as she chooses to run away with the money and leave town. She comes across several obstacles on her way – she runs into her employer, has a cop follow her, is interrogated by a salesman as she turns in her car for a new one, and is hit with heavy rain as she is driving. Due to the rain, Marion makes a short stop at the Bates Motel, which is where she meets Norman Bates, the owner of the motel. Norman is a psycho path with duel personality and has a mother-complex. He is known in the town for killing his mother and her boyfriend due to jealousy. However, due to his jealousy, he does not let his mother’s body lay next to her boyfriend’s at the
