Three years of the pandemic is enough.
Horror movies tell us the scary and ugly truth about how we spent our Seasons in the Abyss. Here are some trends I noticed... and NO ZOMBIE MOVIES INCLUDED!

@freerangeamber I love this so much!

[Hellbent For Horror @hellbenthorror]

@SnowBellesHell It’s true, because we will actually ask you what you’d love and when we find the right spot we STAY THERE for the duration, not fuck about

(8 of 8) Thanks and congratulations to 45 years of PHANTASM, @don_coscarelli!

(7 of 8) With PHANTASM, @DonCoscarelli encouraged me to appreciate ambiguity in narrative, and showed me that horror is like Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, it pairs well with any genre and makes them even better.

(6 of 8) PHANTASM will always be one of my favorite films of all time, because it trusted me to watch something unique during the slasher craze… @DonCoscarelli

(5 of 8) I got my chance on October 26, 1979, when PHANTASM premiered on HOME BOX OFFICE. It was the first movie to ever garner the “graphic violence” parental warning in their guide.

(4 of 8) It was “Uncle” Bob Martin who wrote the great teaser opening to his interview with Coscarelli in @fangoria Issue No. 2 and cemented my need to see this film. @DonCoscarelli

(3 of 8) John Carpenter’s HALLOWEEN expanded the horror audience exponentially and brought prestige to indie filmmaking, but PHANTASM legitimized the horror/sci-fi hybrid and quietly broadened the definition of both genres.

[Hellbent For Horror @hellbenthorror]

(2 of 8) Made for a mere $300,000, the movie had car stunts, explosions, crazy special effects, multiple locations and set pieces, defying limitations and also brazenly served up a nonlinear narrative. @DonCoscarelli

[Hellbent For Horror @hellbenthorror]

(1 of 8) It was 45 years ago today, @DonCoscarelli let The Tall Man play! PHANTASM opened on March 28, 1979, and the lives of horror fans everywhere changed.

[Hellbent For Horror @hellbenthorror]

@_MercyWest_ Yes!!!!!

[Hellbent For Horror @hellbenthorror]

So sad to hear that Weston Ochse has died long term health battles. Wes was a great, prolific writer, a proud veteran, absolute dog lover, and just a really nice guy that seemed to let everything slide off his back. Glad I got to know him a little.
WHAT IS REMEMBERED, LIVES.

New Episode! As his legend would dictate, Friedkin was a bit of a demon himself to those who worked with him and opposed him. Join me as I look at my fascination with him. Love him or hate him, Friedkin made you take notice. https://t.co/C4Kr0XIGQo
