What 80's horror movie is this from?
The Gate (1987) IMDb review: A classic in the Eighties genre of horror, it features Heavy Metal music and demons. Stephen Dorff plays young Glen, who discovers a hole in his backyard is a gate to Hell. After his friend, Terry (Louis Tripp), plays his Metal album backwards and a teen coincidentally buries the family pe (you always need a sacrifice) in that hole in the backyard, they awaken demonic spirits that try to kill them. This film features some classic stop-motion in the lines of "Jason and the Argonauts" (1963). They are attacked by reanimating dead, droves of tiny demons and a head demon the size of a bus that bears a strong resemblance to the Kraken in "Clash of the Titans". All of your memories are in this film, which I actually identified yesterday for someone! This is one of the most-questioned movies at Y!A.
What horror movie is this?
It was years ago but it has been recently been bothering me. All I remember is something about a basement in the middle of the country. possibly Indian burial ground. A monster that may have resembled the dogs from ghost busters. A father, mother, and son, trying to kill it in the end. The father tries to electrocute it in and fails. The son thinks the monster killed his father but gets dynamite to kill it and blows up the house and the father some how escapes. Please no bullshit just if you might know answer just no smart *** comments thanks.
What is the meaning of horror movies?
Horror movies are a genre meant to physically present the things that scare us most. Everyone has different fears, and odds are there's a horror film that can exploit that fear to create something of a thrill for the viewer. There's the spiritual horror film that delves into the fear of the supernatural, of Satan, demons, and possession—like The Exorcist or Rosemary's Baby or The Conjuring. Something like this delves into the psyché of mankind as a whole, about our fear of uncertainty and how that relates to concepts of religion and manifestations of good and evil figures.Then there's films about fear of the unknown in another way, fear of others we don't understand or politics and beliefs that go against our own—seen in films like John Carpenter's The Thing, which was based on a previous movie that openly represented fear of communism, just as Invasion of the Body Snatchers does. These kinds of films often utilize aliens to represent the differentiation between what is "normal" and what is "wrong" or in other words what is being persecuted, often a peoples whose beliefs and political opinions rattle some cages.Then there's the kind of film that shows us the deepest, darkest aspects of ourselves, everything we can be capable of, to exploit our fear of that voice that whispers in your ear or the thought you would never tell anyone about. Think American Psycho, Hush, Silence of the Lambs, Psycho, all the slasher films you can think of. If there's anything that should scare a person, it's thinking about what the person who sits next to you on the bus or you casually see at work or who goes to the same restaurant as you one night might be capable of—or what you yourself could be capable of.That's the meaning of horror movies—to show us our worst fears and thrill us.
Why is it in horror movies?
That someone is home alone and something scary happens and their teapot starts whistling? I am wondering if it has something to do with the teapot is unattended and no one is there to "rescue it." I am home alone this morning and I forgot I was boiling some water in the tea pot and it started whistling. All the sudden, I found myself frightened and not wanting to go ~alone~ into the kitchen. I was expecting Leatherface to pop out of my hall closet. ~Shudders~ Also, is this a case of Pavlovian Conditioning (Have I watch enough horror movies and have now associated a whistling tea pot to a bad event)?
Is Twilight a horror movie?
Hi there. I was wondering whether the movie Twilight is classed as horror, as the audience whom may be viewing it have no intention of viewing horror movies. Is it just a bit of romance and action? Or is it one of those movies created to scare your socks off, and leave you scared of the dark for months? How would you describe it?
