Day 21: Favorite Horror Franchise
30 Day Horror Movie Challenge
Day 21: Go Camping!
Favorite horror franchise? My gut tells me it's the Paranormal Activity
series. Yes it's getting old, but its mix of spectral demonism, old
school satanic panic and use of unknown actors makes it stand out. In
January, a Latino-based spinoff is coming to theaters, titled The Marked
Ones. I'll be very curious to see how it treats the Latin-Afrodiaspora
religious aspect. It will be a future blogspot, because there's another
film of this vein worth looking at. Below is one of my favorite moments from the first Paranormal Activity. It's always good to have a normal looking, non-gypsy woman as your psychic. And this guy knows what's up. He's just a dick.
That said, I've come to the conclusion today that like Coke or Budweiser, nothing could be more all-American in its comforting traditionalism than the Friday the 13th
franchise. 96% of it's chapters suck, but they're still a good time if you embrace it in the right mindset.Of note is my favorite entry in the series, Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood. It's essentially "Jason v. Carrie" as our hockey masked man of the hour battles it out with telekinetic Tina. Our Final Girl in this one packs quite a punch, and her showdown with Jason is spectacular.
was born out of his need to give the Final Girl the power to fight back. Well, Tina was a forerunner, wasn't she? 
Now then, I have no scientific proof of this - it's simply a gut feeling I have from talking to gay horror fans. But it strikes me that like Cher, Joan Crawford or Madonna, Pamela Voorhees becoming a major gay icon diva. Discuss.

Paranormal horror is
too scary for me. I am too inclined to partially believe some of it...
that's the worst of all. I like to see the monster dead at the end of it
all!
James, you mean that
Mandy Lane movie? Have yet to see it. Zuma, if the monster were dead
at the end, the horror movie industry would be in serious financial
straights!
Unless the monster wasn't REALLY dead....
Never mind Bette Davis
Eyes, the actress in this photo has Princess Beatrice's. She also kind
of reminds me of my Tommy Talker ventriloquist following a sex change.
