Michael’s Nightmare about Raising Corn on Friday
Wel I succeeded in putting a reference to five very good Horror movies…. No Horror/slasher Franchises in my titel
Let me break it down for the people not really familiar with Horror’s
Michael = Michael Myers from the Halloween series http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween_(franchise)
Nightmare = Nightmare on Elmstreet series http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Nightmare_on_Elm_Street_(franchise)
Raising = Hellraiser series http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellraiser_(film_series)
Corn = Children of the Corn Series http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children_of_the_Corn_(film_series)
Friday = Friday the 13th http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friday_the_13th_(franchise)
Why an I talking about this?? well because I just had myself a little Children of the corn marathon last weekend. And I was thinking. Those old horror movies really scared the bejezus out of me. The new horror movies just don’t seem to do it for me.
So what is it about these old once?? The suspense. The Story.
The old Horrors have a good scary story. So the movie is not only scary in a visual aspect, but the story itself without all the blood and gore is also scary. In this case Friday the 13th is an exception. Because that is just a lot of blood and gore. But not a bad movie if you like horror/slasher.
Today’s Horrors are more about giving us the scary visual effects. The stories aren’t really scary. The visual effects are.
The movie companies have noticed this, I think that is the reason they green light all the remakes. Remakes that fail miserably.
I think if by some reason you NEED to remake a movie, get the creative team that made the original a success. Of course using moderne effects is cool.
I’ve heard there will me another “nightmare on elm street” movie. A reboot of the series. Now I’m asking myself, is this a new part of the series?? Or are they gonna remake the original movies? I hope it’s the first. To bad Robert Englund is not gonna be playing Freddy. I don’t know if there is an actor that is gonna be as scary and fun to watch as Robert Englund in the rol of freddy.
Here is hoping they do a good job.
