There are so many choices, but I really felt like Juno from The Descent deserved a spotlight. What originally looks like an annual girls trip of hiking and cave exploring turns into a fight for survival and Juno is the only one to blame: she chose the cave, knowing how dangerous it is, she leaves a fellow friend for dead and we also learn that she was *Spoiler Alert* having an affair with one of her friend’s husband. Sarah is not only stuck in an underground cave system with deadly creatures, but she’s still mourning the death of her child and husband when her “friend” Juno takes her on this trip, reveals that she was sleeping with her husband and then has the nerve to say that she misses the philanderer too! Juno is a straight up Mean Girl. And a badass and I kind of love her.💜💀🔪#horrorsisters #horrorsisterswihm2023 https://www.instagram.com/p/CoaUh7svGia/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#Repost @chibagrrl with @let.repost • • • • • • So happy to be joining my #horrorsisters in our annual year- end celebration of our fave films of the year ❤️ Set in 1979 rural Texas, Ti West's X is definitely on my list. When a young group of aspiring filmmakers rent a farmhouse from an elderly couple to shoot their masterpiece, they decline to tell Harold and Pearl, their hosts, that it's a porno. A classy one!! When Pearl peeping toms them during a shoot, it gets the old juices flowing , and Pearl makes a move on her hubby only to be rejected ( he's afraid he'll have a heart attack) Now the couple are horny and angry, which is no fun. Let the killing begin! ( there's a gator involved, which always makes me smile) This is really a movie about the horrors of aging, and as somebody who's pushing 60 I can totally relate to this couple 😅 sucks when you can't get any but the damn kids are having a fuckfest all around you. 😅😅😅 Mia Goth plays double duty as ingenue Maxine and horny old Pearl and she's great.. I haven't seen the sequel Pearl yet but I've heard good things. Now get off my lawn ya damn kids. #horrorsisstersfavoritemovies2022 #scaringandsharing #tiwestx https://www.instagram.com/p/ClpjC_srJt2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#Repost @chibagrrl with @let.repost • • • • • • For my last #Horrorsistersscaresandshares2022 #tonytoddappreciation post I wanted to concentrate on his tv work, especially his many guest appearances. So much great work to choose from, I went with Season 2 episode 4 of the X- Files, titled Sleepless . Tony plays Augustus "Preacher" Cole, a Vietnam Vet who due to a military experiment , hasn't slept in 24 years. If I don't sleep a night or two I wanna burn shit down, so I feel for the guy. Augustus is out for revenge, and he kills by getting into people's minds and making them believe they're burning to death, shot to death, etc. A neat trick. This is a good episode all-around but TT takes it over the top. X- Files is streaming on Hulu Thanks to @bonbonfaboo and the rest of my #horrorsisters for keeping it spooky all year round 🧡💀🦇🎃👻 #horrorsistershalloween2022 #tonytodd https://www.instagram.com/p/CkPU01-J_iA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#Repost @lcfremont with @let.repost • • • • • • Week 3 of my home invasion picks for #horrorsistersscaresandshares2022 takes us to foreign places.🌏Them is a French film based on actual events. Clocking in at a lean, mean 77 minutes, this movie is bare bones and all the better for it. And the perpetrators? Well, it’s all very creepy.🏠Inside is infamous for two things: being one of the tent poles of French Extremism and a giant pair of scissors. Not for the faint of heart, this movie holds a special place in my heart. After having kids, I view this movie completely differently and still love it just as much.✂️Funny Games (1997)is a Michael Haneke special: nothing but bleakness wrapped up in a beautifully shot package. Two young men pay a visit to a perfectly lovely family: carnage ensues. Haneke later remade this Austrian film, shot for shot, for an American audience, but I still prefer the original. There’s just something a bit more gritty about it that helps that gut punch of an ending really grab hold.🏌🏻Sleep Tight comes from Barcelona and I’m kind of bending the rules by calling it a home invasion film, but it definitely deserves to be here. It’s a slow build of suspense and creepiness, but that last scene will have you thinking about it for days.🍼Kidnapped is another Spanish import that is a classic home invasion plot: criminals take over a family home and absolutely nothing good will come of this. A little on the nasty side, once the violence starts, it never really lets up until the very abrupt ending.🔪The Trip comes from Sweden courtesy of Tommy Wirkola (Dead Snow, Hansel & Gretel) and stars Noomi Rapace. A couple goes to visit their vacation home, each of them planning to murder the other, but three escaped convicts will have other plans. Darkly comic and really gory, this is a fun one.🎱#homeinvasionhorror #horrorsisters https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj3fn92Piyx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#Repost @lcfremont with @let.repost • • • • • • Week 2 of the Home Invasion installment of #horrorsistersscaresandshares2023 💀 Today we’re taking a trip in the Way Back Machine for some more classic iterations of the genre. Wait Until Dark can still bring the suspense 55 years later. Audrey Hepburn is a blind woman living alone when two men break into her apartment: an adaptation of a stage play, it holds up and I definitely recommend watching it with all of the lights out.🪆Dial M For Murder is Hitchcock and it stars Grace Kelly: what more do you need to know? Maybe don’t answer the phone and keep a weapon nearby.✂️Cape Fear starring Gregory Peck & Robert Mitchum is a masterclass in acting and proof that graphic violence isn’t necessary to achieve a visceral reaction . 🔪 In Cold Blood is an excellent adaptation of Truman Capote’s best selling true crime book and maintains the same chilling and surreal feeling.🔫Alone In The Dark is a lesser known 80’s gem that has big name stars, escaped mental hospital patients, a kickass knife/mattress scene and it’s directed by Jack Sholder (NOES2).🔥When A Stranger Calls Back is a truly under appreciated film. Loads better than it’s predecessor, this movie has an interesting villain with some seriously amazing skills that are eerily helpful with home invasion.🎨 #homeinvasionhorror #horrorsisters #80shorrormovies https://www.instagram.com/p/CjlVUcKpQ6l/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#Repost @lcfremont with @let.repost • • • • • • Happy Pride month! The #horrorsisters are sharing their favorite LGBTQIA+ horror entertainment this month. For my first #horrorsisterspride pick, you know I gotta go with My TOM. 💜Interview With a Vampire is a beautifully tragic love story. Lestat and Louis have a toxic relationship: Lestat loves Louis, but the feeling isn’t necessarily mutual. They adopt a daughter, Claudia, together and try to play house for a while, but both Louis and Claudia grow impatient. When Lestat realizes he’s losing control over the ones he loves, life becomes unhinged for all of them. While the film doesn’t totally hold up (it’s been 28 years), the book absolutely does. And while I know TOM has his detractors, even Anne Rice had to admit that he absolutely nailed the role of Lestat. Kirsten Dunst was an immediate success as Claudia and has been a household name ever since. Vampire tales are always ripe with homoeroticism, but in Interview With a Vampire, the queer themes are implicit, rather than explicit. Neil Jordan did a great job of adapting the book to film in a time when gay stories were just beginning to show up in mainstream media. 💜🧛🏼‍♂️🧛🏼‍♂️Fun fact: the film rights to the book (which was released in 1976) were sold before it was even published. Anne Rice assumed she would have to write the screenplay with a heterosexual couple and wanted Cher to play Lestat. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🏳️‍🌈 https://www.instagram.com/p/Ceg5KmGPIh6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
