Gus: Melly loves dumb, mindless slasher films, the gorier the better... *Chuckles*
Melanie: Oh hell yeah! Blood! Blood and death! *Her giggling turns into a snort* I'd be hard-pressed to find a slasher movie I didn't like, from the cheapest of trash to the finest of treasures. If I had to pick an absolute favorite....hmmm....*Scratches chin thoughtfully*
Gus: It's going to be weird and obscure isn't it?
Mellanie: I mean, I could go with something like the Saw movies for something new...mostly cause I love the traps, and the saw puppet design...To a real classic like the Freddy Cougar movies...oh and Jason! *Chef's kiss*.
Gus: *Chuckles and rolls his eyes*
Melanie: But I'm even into really dumb stuff like Gingerbread Mam', or Jackal Frost...It's just, soo, soo corny!
Gus: I think Chickie sorta falls into that category...although the production value is better than those films.
Melanie: *Snickers* At least at first...but like all franchises, they just get cheesier with each new installment. Of course, I can appreciate that too...though my favorite of all time has to be 'Basket Case'...
Gus: *Guffaws* The one with the dude with the malformed twin brother that he keeps in a wicker basket!?
Melanie: *Nods Briskly* It's just so dumb, but also kinda good...despite the budget. Granted the...rapey scenes are...*Winces*
Joel: Yeah, that was all B-movies from the eighties. A not so tactful, hamfisted way to shoehorn in some bare pelts to hopefully sell more product.
Megumi: I also like Slashers...though less than Kaiju films. The Ring is a good series...at least the Japandese version. *Scoffs* Howlywood ruined it like everything else they try to...what is the word? 'a-adapt'?
Joel: *Nods*
Melanie: Yeah, the North Mammalian adaptation is a little dull....still nowhere near as bad as found footage horror though...that's my least favorite horror film genre. The fad started by the Hare Witch really wrecked horror movies for a while.
Vernon: Much like reality TV shows ruined TV...
Dawn: *Rolls her eyes* Ugh, Reality TV, I could chatter on about the worst examples I've seen for hours...
Vernon: That said we ain't really into slasher films...
Dawn: Not that either of us find them particularly scary...more just dull...aside from a few exceptional meshes of more cerebral films with horror...like The Thing, or In the Muzzle of Madness...
Melanie: OOOH! The Thing's great. Hey, have I shown you two 'Event Horizon'? That one is great!
Dawn: Yes, right after we watched 'chopping maul' on double date movie night. *Giggles*
Melanie: *Laughs* I like to balance out the scarier ones with a goofy one when watching back-to-back.
Joel: What about you Brooms, you've been awfully quiet...
Broomie: We...sorta have a ban on Slasher movies at home...war films too...
Dawn: Really? Why?
Vernon: Is Talia scared of a few cheap jumpscares and blood made to look like chocolate?
Broomie: No...*rubs the back of his neck uncomfortably.* But with her...history, some of that stuff can really...touch some psychological sore spots... *winces*
Gus: Right...her PTSD...I totally forgot.
Broomie: The last thing we tried to watch was Mammalian Centipede, and as goofy as it was, something set Talia off so bad she was ready to tear the TV in half...
Vernon: Geeze...that's-
*Nearby door suddenly busts open, revealing Dom, looking as though he just came from running a marathon.*
Dom: WHO'S TALKING ABOUT MAMMALIAN CENTIPEDE!?
