Alright!!! hope you guys enjoys last nights Zombies and Werewolves! Here's two more baddies served up just for you!
5-Tod Browning's: Freaks (1932)
This film is an absolute cult classic and holds a dear place in the hearts of many people, myself included. This movie is also special because a vast majority of the cast are genuine "born" freaks. The story is that of a beautiful trapeze artists and a carnival strongman who try to swindle the inheritance of Hans, a sideshow performer. They quickly learn the dangers of messing with a member of a tight knit community, such as the one the side-show performers have. Really, in my opinion, this is essentially a movie about taking care of your own and it's also a sweet revenge story. There are some love story elements mixed in there as well. Plus, many of the supporting cast does some of their amazing feats throughout the course of the film, which I find totally mesmerizing! Despite the films age, I don't really think it's as slow, by today's standards, as some of the other films of that era. It's a good one to see at least once and I highly recommend it.

6-The People Under The Stairs
This film by Wes Craven is a late night classic. It has almost all of the elements of a great scare film. A big creepy booby trapped house, absolutely psychotic villains (played wonderfully horrible by Wendy Robie and Everett McGill), several sympathetic characters, lots of tense moments/scares, incest, violence, some crazy BDSM gear, some social justice, and a shitload of crazy creatures under the house!!! Along with the great performances by McGill and Robie, the cast also includes A.J. Langer, Ving Rhames, and Sean Whalen, who are all pretty entertaining! If you dig a little dark comedy with your screams, then you'll love this one!
