Pierre of Frankensteinia notoriety tagged me for one of those senseless blog games that entice bloggers to do the blogging equivalent of hopscotching without a chalk outline. Being an aimless, hopscotching in the rain without a chalk outline kind of blogger, I, of course, said "sure, why not?"
You know what would be cool, now that I think of it? Let's suppose this game is like the Ring virus, but it's a blog-thing, and bloggers who participate in it will die a horrible J-horror type of death (K-horror even!) unless they pass it off to five of their fellow bloggers. And those bloggers pass it on to another bunch of bloggers, and so on, and so on (just like in that shampoo commercial a few years back, only this time it's not shampoo on dozens of heads but a life or death situation that makes this aimless time-waster appear fun and important.
I'm sorry, I was digressing. It's 1:34 AM; acid is eating a hole in my stomach from too much coffee, and finishing this blasted thing started by the evil Blog Cabins is uppermost in my mind when sleep should be. I know they are evil because only evil bloggers have time to think up this weird Alphabet Meme sh*t. Here's how it works: I make up a list of 100 movies, picking a film to represent a letter, in alphabetical order, none beginning with A or The. While not implicit in the original instructions, I'm going to further torture myself by limiting my choices to only horror or suspense films. Yeah baby, beat me silly. What have I got to lose except my blogging dignity and the precious little time I should be spending on productive ventures like real estate and investing? Oh, wait, I've no money anyway since we are in a recession and my stocks and real estate are worthless. Damn. Okay, let me finish this list, then. Little do they know that knowledge is on my side. I am armed with the tomes of terror, including The Overlook Film Encyclopedia of Horror, Leonard Maltin's 2007 Movie Guide, and A Vault of Horror by Keith Topping. No one said I couldn't pull a Kobayashi Maru maneuver and cheat!
The List:
- Arachnophobia
- Blackula
- Candyman
- Dracula
- Exorcist
- Fragment of Fear
- Gremlins
- House of Whipcord
- Incense for the Damned
- Jaws
- King Kong
- Legend of Hell House
- Martin
- Night of the Demon
- One Missed Call
- Pet Cemetery
- Quella Villa Accanto al Cimitero
- Ringu
- Scream and Scream Again
- Tales That Witness Madness
- Uzumaki
- Vampyres
- Wizard of Gore
- Xiong Bang
- Young Frankenstein
- Zombie High
There, that's over with. I've seen just about all of these film. Now for the nasty Ringu-part; my selection of the 5 blogging friends (likely former friends after this) to continue this meme curse:
Drunken Severed Head
Billy Loves Stu
Unspeakable Horror
Gospel of the Living Dead (Kim hates this stuff: hehehe)
Vault of Horror (after his top 50 movie list maelstrom, this will be a cake-walk)
