Top 10 best made for TV horror movies!

One of my favorite things to do when I'm home is to make a pot of coffee, and log onto Youtube on my smart TV and search for made for TV horror and thriller films from the 1970's and 1980's. Here is my top five list of the best so far that I've seen!

15 horror movies turning 30 this year!

15 horror movies turning 30 this year!

It's truly surreal to think that the year 1990 was officially 30 years ago. I think I'm speaking for most people in saying whenever somebody mentions something being "30 years ago." I often think that's like 1984 or 1985. NOT 1990! Man oh man! Still, I decided to highlight 15 killer horror films from that year that have 30th birthdays this year!

1) Nightbreed

- A man convinced he's a murderer wanders to a cemetery where legend has it that monsters live beneath in an underground kingdom. After being bitten by one of the creatures, he discovers he's innocent and that his psychiatrist has been the one committing all of the local murders, with the intent on framing him. After being fatally shot by the police, he rises from the dead now immortal, and leading the creatures in a full blown war against the real monsters...man.

2) Tremors 

- Two workmen from a small desert town discover massive alien worm like creatures that tunnel underneath the ground, and are attracted by sound, eating anyone that gets in their way.

3) Misery

- After a famous author is rescued from a near fatal car crash by a fan of his novels, he comes to realize that the care he is receiving is only the beginning of a nightmare of captivity and abuse.

4) The Exorcist III

- A police lieutenant uncovers more than he bargained for as his investigation of a series of murders, which have all the same trademarks of a deceased serial killer who was put to death almost fifteen years before...the very same night a young girl had an exorcism performed on her.

5) Child's Play 2

- While Andy's mother is admitted to a psychiatric hospital, the young boy is placed in foster care, and Chucky determined to claim Andy's soul is not far behind after he's been rebuilt by the company who makes the Good Guy dolls to prove that the story of him "coming to life" doesn't hold up in court. Here, Chucky goes on a blood thirsty rampage with the clock ticking as he grows more and more human with each passing day he spends trapped inside this doll's body.

6) Tales From The Darkside The Movie

- A young boy, trapped by a witch planning on cooking him for a dinner party she's holding tries to stall her by reading from a book called "Tales From The Darkside." Here he tells her three frighting tales. One about a cursed killer mummy returning from the grave to seek revenge, the second of a hitman hired to kill a cat that's killed several people, and last a tragic romance about a broken promise between an artist and the love of his life.

7) Night Of The Living Dead (remake)

- Several strangers are trapped in a farmhouse in the middle of nowhere as a zombie outbreak just seems to be starting outside. Tensions are high among everyone as they argue over if they should board up the place and stay put, or make a run for it.

8) Stephen King's IT

- Seven outcasts all become friends durning one fateful summer in the late 1950's while a series of violent murders are taking place involving children in the small town they are all from. It doesn't take long for the gang to see that a creature from another world are committing the murders, feeding off the fear of children, and taking form of whatever monster it pleases, it's favorite form being that of a frightening looking clown called Pennywise. Here the group decides since none of the adults in town can see this creature, nor want to believe them that it's up to them to stop it and kill it before it's too late.

9) Leatherface The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III

10) Stephen King's Graveyard Shift

Over the 4th of July weekend he's hired along with several other workers to clean out the massive basement so they can clear building codes. Here the men discover a hidden trap door that leads to massive underground tunnels down below with huge flesh eating rats and creatures beyond their wildest nightmares.

Interview with Velizar Lonikov!

"They're wet..."

It was this photo that made me absolutely love Mr. Lonikov aka Velfornia13 on IG. A fellow horror movie fan that has been killing with with his amazing taste in movies and jaw dropping cosplays. I was lucky enough to talk movies with him over here at Staystillreviews...

Top ten favorite movies?

Scream, Bring It On, The Descent, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Moulin Rouge, Spirited Away, Mean Girls, Hocus Pocus, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, and The Ring. 

What is a must to watch every December and why?

 A must watch every December, for me, is both Black Christmas movies back to back. There is just something so special and nostalgic about both films. The original is a creepy, slow burn, that gives me chills to this day. (Hello eye shot through the door!). The remake, which was panned, is a gleefully stupid, yet charming, reimagining of the story. There isn't anything scary about it, but it sure is pretty to look at!

What has been your favorite cosplay/costume you have dressed up as?

This is always a tough one for me because I've loved every single one of them. However, I think that the one that I love the most is dressing up as Sidney Prescott. Growing up, all I ever wanted to be was her, and now I can be! 

 Top 3 favorite TV shows?

Top three favorite shows?? Why must you do this to me! 

Friends

Two Broke Girls

True Blood

Best ending to a movie ever and why?

I would honestly have to say the best ending to a movie would go to The Mist. The way the movie plays with your emotions and then abruptly throws in that curveball...well it's gut-wrenching. 

Favorite scream queen?

Sidney Prescott. Hands down. She's such an amazing woman, and she's survived 7 serial killers. That's beast mode! 

Best villain/hero in a film?

Best Hero? Charlize Theron in Mad Max Fury Road. Best Villian? Voldemort. 

All time favorite VHS artwork you've ever seen?

All-time favorite VHS artwork will have to go to Sleepaway Camp 2. That was the one VHS I always ogled at Blockbuster and to this day still sticks with me. 

What movie/TV movie NEEDS to be released on blu-ray?

Susie Q needs to be released on dvd or blu ray like yesterday!! That movie deserves better! 

Favorite death/kill in a horror/slasher movie?

The entire Final Destination 2 deaths. 

Best film you've seen in theaters in this past year?

The absolute best film goes out to Crawl. That was one damn fun and thrilling ride in theaters! 

Favorite horror hunk?

 Ryan Reynolds. Amityville shirtless god. 

Favorite guilty pleasure movie?

Win a Date with tad hamilton. it's okay, you can laugh! 

Dream convention guest you would die to meet?

Any future cosplays we can look forward to?

 Right now I've taken a small break from doing cosplays to focus on Real Estate in California, but the future is an open book!
