Hit Me with your Horror
Originally shared by Andrew “Incomitatum” Chason Hit Me with your Horror I am looking for some horror flicks. The newer the better. Good is good too. I liked House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects . I liked both the new Texas Chainsaw movies. Hills Have Eyes 1 was good (never saw the second . Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 come to mind as well. A little camp, and/or "back woods" can't hurt. Any of you have any recommendations? Lets try and not go too far back than mid 90's. Aside: How was the new "Freddy" movie? Suggested So Far • Bones (2001) • Drag Me to Hell (2009) • The Grudge (2004) • Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) • Dog Soldiers (2002) • The Decent (2005) • Creature (2011) • The Last Winter (2006)
More true than at first glance. So much of this stuff still dates back to Union vs. Confederates. And no, not referencing racism here, but rather the conflicts that informed the whole american West.
ReplyDeleteLook at the Earps in that gif, and then the cowboys. The way they're dressed is historically accurate. The northerners who came to the west were usually Republican (who indeed backed the Earps in Tombstone), dressed in dark clothes, lived in towns, wanted law and order (though not beyond corruption). They wanted to civilize the west and came to build personal empires.
The cowboys were southerners, mostly. Dressed in colorful clothing, were country folk, were Democrats (who indeed, supported the Cowboys in Tombstone) wanted freedom and "din't like no law round here...". They came west to be free and escape what they saw as stifling civilization. They might have wanted to be rich on a personal level, but certainly didn't want to see the west turned into a big-government place full of rules and regulations (as they conceived the east to be), where bureaucrats and lawmakers could tell you what to do.
Its that ding dang gov'ment keeping me down!
