I spoke with Doxacast, a Christian sf\/fantasy podcast (tied to Doxacon<\/a>, a Christian sf\/fantasy convention, woot!). You can listen here<\/a>. It\u2019s just under eleven minutes, so I figured I\u2019d link you all to reviews if you want more on why I love these films and why you might too.<\/p>\n

10. Urban Ghost Story<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, which, as I note, will especially interest people who liked my Doxacon presentation<\/a> last year about what kind of person is typically a source of authority in horror films.<\/p>\n

9. The Seventh Victim<\/strong><\/em><\/a>. THE MESSAGE IS, \u201cDEATH IS GOOD.\u201d<\/p>\n

8. Arachnophobia<\/strong><\/em>! I might rewatch it tonight, as comfort food while I get over a bad cold. I love this film so much.<\/p>\n

7. Spider Baby<\/strong><\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

6. Creep<\/strong><\/em><\/a>. Or as a different era\u2019s horror-titling conventions might call it, The Friend<\/em>.<\/p>\n

5. Megan Is Missing<\/strong><\/em>. This is the one I most waffled on including, for what it\u2019s worth; I considered replacing it with Eaten Alive<\/em><\/a> and in fact should have replaced it with Ravenous<\/em><\/a>, but it is still a great choice if you want to be genuinely disturbed. The Deadly Doll reviews it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4. American Zombie<\/strong><\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. Resolution<\/strong><\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

2. Carnival of Souls<\/strong><\/em>. Recently rewatched this and noticed what a fun, self-possessed personality the main character has, even after she starts to become a horror icon. A standard plotline becomes glorious in the hands of a master of black-and-white and his scream-queen muse, Candace Hilligoss, about whom I said: \u201cShe\u2019s like a photograph from another world, tacked onto the small-town church and carnival settings she inhabits. Something about her is fundamentally not there<\/em>. \u201d<\/p>\n

1. Oculus<\/strong><\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

You will notice that there are no vampire films on this list. Take that as an omen. WATCH THE SKIES.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
