It's a Horror to Know You: WIL of Horror Yearbook!
1. What is the first film that ever scared you?
The Elephant Man. this movie was on cable all the time when I was young. I always had to zip by it on those old cable box controllers with the slide dial thingys. I was really young and the elephant man scared the poop out of me.
2. What is the last film that scared you?
Jesus Camp. I saw a double feature of Jesus Camp and Texas Chainsaw: The Beginning. Jesus Camp scared me more.
3. Name three Horror movies that you believe are underrated.
Seed of Chucky. I still believe this will be considered a classic some day.
Splice. Best horror movie since Orphan.
Anything by Chris Smith (Black Death) Smith should have the horror fans attention not Eli Roth and Rob Zombie.
4. Name three horror movies that you enjoy against your better judgment.
Congo. Im obsessed with Congo. It is one of the few movies I can watch over and over.
Anaconda. The first movie where Ice Cube wasn't a ghetto thug.
Trancers. My favorite Full Moon franchise after Puppet Master.
Thanks Wil! Good to see Seed of Chucky make another appearance. One of the wilder mainstream movies I've ever seen in the theater and so darn original for something so late in a franchise. I really hope that Don Mancini gets to direct again! He did an amazing job. I agree on SPLICE too, it's really emotionally complex and Sarah Polley is great in it. And yes, Chris Smith does indeed rule! I have not seen Jesus Camp- some things are just too scary for Unk.
I love that Trancers trailer.
Ah some love for Chris Smith, although most people seem to dislike it I thought Creep was awesome, should have put it on my list of underrated movies.
Another great thing about Splice is all the symbolism of the sets. Their clothing is sometimes black, black and white, grey etc. as the story progresses and their ethics get more and more blurred. That heart t-shirt on Clive when he starts feeling for Dren was a great touch.
