Horror film fans, welcome to a special
edition of Dark Discussions. Horror, horror, and more horror. We drop
the science fiction, the techno-thrillers, and the fantasy films for a
straight out take on the films that make Samhain and Halloween the time
of year we all love. But what makes a great horror film? What keeps us
up at night? And most importantly what makes us shift in our seats
while we watch a good horror tale at a cinema or on a television?
Who hasn’t done top ten lists? Until now,
Dark Discussions has not. Now that we are at the midyear point of our
existence and you, listeners, know us through your iPods and computers,
we figured it was time to list the films that make us get that little
knot of dread in our stomachs when we watch them. Eric, Philip, and
Mike present each their top ten lists of horror. You won’t find any
films on our lists for historical importance. No Nosferatu, no Cabinet
of Dr. Caligari. Simply horror and only horror.
For a hint of what we have for you, we each
put together our own top ten mostly based on production value,
rewatchability, and impact on our fear level. Mike has two directors
with two films each represented. Philip has one director with two films
on his list, but a different director than the two Mike has listed.
And only one film is represented on all three lists. Philip gives his
in alphabetical order while Eric and Mike are much more confident in
their rankings.
Dark Discussions would like to salute you,
faithful listeners, for letting us discuss with you the things which
scare us these past six months. So to all of you, a very hardy thank
you.
