PurgatoryGirl Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 (edited) The original Christmas Slasher Horror Film, Black Christmas from 1974 is now airing on The Movie Channel for "Splatterday." I think I will leave it on as background noise, as I work on my own content. Several years ago, I YouTubed Black Christmas. The movie trailer from '74 was more frightening than the actual film. Watching Black Christmas was disappointing and infuriating. Therefore, I guess my skin really was "wrapped on too tight." Olivia Hussey's character lived up to the negative stereotypes of a dumb ass character in Horror films. This is especially when she was the so-called "heroine."

Ric Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 It's an average at best slasher. I'll be watching a lot of horror next month, so none until then. I noticed Tales From The Darkside is on VRV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurgatoryGirl Posted September 16, 2018 Author Share Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) Horror is not limited to only Halloween in October. Horror is all year round and everyday. As someone, who is a Horror fan, writer, and is friends with people who work in the Horror Industry, I never understood why most people limit themselves to only enjoying the genre during Halloween in October. When the Slasher Horror genre was at its pinnacle during the early 1980's, there was a film for every season, holiday, and just for any occasion. After the MPAA, media watchdog groups, Christian zealots, and film critics like Siskel & Ebert started demonizing filmmakers of the Slasher Horror genre, Slashers and the Horror genre as a whole had to send their movies direct to video. Because of the demonization, the Horror genre was close to extinction. That was until SCREAM was released and it supposedly revived Horror in general. I probably sound like a fanatic, but I'm only stating the facts. LOL! Edited September 16, 2018 by PurgatoryGirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I didn't say it's limited to October. Just on break for Sept because I'll be attempting 31 movies(TV specials, etc) again next month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurgatoryGirl Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 Oh okay. Most people usually seem to limit watching Horror to October because of Halloween. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Two days after I posted that I just started watching it any way. I liked the first episode even though the story just went off the rails towards the end. The second episode just seemed like anti-alcoholism propaganda. It's mixed so far which is what I was expecting, will probably make a thread on the series as I watch more episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
