Chopping Mall, Shopping Costs an Arm and A LEG… anyone, anyone!
Another cheese moment from my childhood. I don’t know if its horror moment, but it was comical even then.

Ok, a few weeks ago I gave away three copies of Silent Venom to people that made comments on certain posts. I was all ready to use this nifty little random selection software, but since I only had three responses the selection process was easy.
In celebration of HorrorFatale.com’s 1-year anniversary on July 15th I will be giving away 2 DVD copies of the original 1980 Prom Night. Why Prom Night you ask? Because it was one of the first horror movies, I ever saw. Yes, I was four when it was released, but in parent’s defense I saw it on cable the next year when I was like five, so there.
Here’s the deal, leave me a comment between now and July 15th telling us the first horror movie you saw and your name goes into the pot to win one of the DVDs. Easy enough right? Happy commenting!
Prom Night (Widescreen Full Screen)
Actor/Actress: Jamie Lee Curtis , Leslie Nielsen , Casey Stevens
Director: Paul Lynch
Jamie Lee Curtis continued her post-’Halloween’ horror streak with this 1980 offering concerning the bloody avenging of the accidental death of a young girl six years later when those responsible are celebrating their prom. Several unrelated sequels followed.
A girl plummets to her death while fleeing from the taunts of four vicious classmates. Years pass: it is now prom night for the children who survived the incident, and someone — or something — is taking vengeance against them for their childhood sin. One by one, they drop.

Back in 1998 Stephen Dorff played the Marvel comic character Deacon Frost in the first Blade movie. Now someone thinks that performance warrants Dorff playing him again, again and again. Can you say Blade prequel trilogy?
Dorff tells the mag (The Sunday Mail), “It will be a prequel to the Blade movies, Deacon’s story. It’s a new trilogy the director has created. It will be cool,” he continues, “We hope to shoot the first film next year. Frost is a character I have never been able to shake.”
I’m actually kind of feeling this, I liked Dorff’s performance well enough. But tell Stephen the reason he can’t shake the character is because that’s the only one people remember. Sorry, dude no one really remembers The Gate. Well, no one but me.
Ok, I get it they are sorority girls, but what in the name of lame does this poster have to do with a horror movie?
Whatcha thinking?

The Unborn (2009) PG-13
Tortured by frightening dreams at night and the ghost of a young boy during the day, young Casey (Odette Yustman) turns to a spiritual adviser (Gary Oldman) for help. Together, the two uncover and try to stop a powerful family curse dating back to the Nazi era. David S. Goyer writes and directs this supernatural thriller that also stars Cam Gigandet, Meagan Good and Jane Alexander.
Night Train (2009) R
A med student (Leelee Sobieski), a salesman (Steve Zahn) and a train conductor (Danny Glover) become unlikely allies when a passenger dies on their night train, leaving behind a fortune in diamonds. Deciding to dump the body and split the loot, the trio embarks on a gruesome mission. Disposing of the corpse, however, proves to be tricky, and the conspirators become increasingly fearful of one another in this Brian King-helmed action thriller.
One Missed Call 3: Final Chakushin Ari Saishusho (2006) NR
Terror rings again in the third installment of this supernatural horror franchise. Cell phone calls from the future forecast the death of each person who answers, but this time around, the potential victims get a chance to spare their own lives. But there’s a catch: They have to forward the cursed messages to someone else. The terror begins when a student on a school trip receives a phone call … from a dead classmate.
HF Recommends…
This one comes from the UK, its not a remake or a Hollywood rip of some Asian film, so it already has that going for it.
Dead Wood (2007) R
An inexorable force wants four friends dead and is bent on revealing numerous foreboding omens to let them know. Their wilderness weekend camping trip is about to get even creepier when they meet Ketsy (Nina Kwok), who suddenly appears. Co-starring Fergus March, Emily Juniper, John Samuel Worsey and Rebecca Craven, this well-crafted, special effects-filled British horror movie rises above its common premise to deliver truly frightening chills.
This movie is really a great movie, and dare I say it almost as good as the FIRST Lost Boys, but being that it came out the same year, it got crushed by the hotness that was a young Kiefer Sutherland, aka Hot Mugshot.
Near Dark (1987) R
In the dusty heart of the American southwest, innocent country boy Caleb (Adrian Pasdar) is seduced by a beautiful girl (Jenny Wright) into joining a pack of vicious drifters. But this is no ordinary band of outlaws, and Caleb is soon trapped in a nightmarish world of soulless evil and hellish mayhem that thrives on blood and absolute horror. This extraordinary shocker is one of the most ferociously original vampire movies of our generation.

Please, please, please tell me the killer isn’t Jimmy. They really need to be pulling a red herring and have it be Henry or Abby, because Jimmy is just too simple. Boring. I gotta to admit the idea of Cal and Chole going together almost melted my cold dead heart, almost. I was still like, make a run for it while he’s offing Cal. Was that wrong?
