CHEAP HORROR MOVIE SCARES

Here they are ,The Most Used Cheap Horror Movie Scares

Victim running from killer ALWAYS trips and falls

PATTERN: Almost without exception, if a girl is running from an axe wielding psycho you can bet she trips over something and falls down. Often you'll notice she trips over thin air, amazing how the survivor girls are so uncoordinated yet still, you know, survive!

REALITY: I'm sorry but the few times in my life when I've been running from something or someone that scared me, I was moving faster than lightening (felt that way) and didn't trip. Have you tripped up while running away from someone? I'll give you this too, they didn't even need to be chasing you with a chainsaw . . . you just plain tripped.


The current love interest of the protagonist is a total douche

PATTERN: You've seen this one. The lead of the film loves a girl, but the girl has a boyfriend. Already you know there is a 99% chance that this boyfriend will end up being a complete jerk. He screams at her, demeans her, doesn’t respect her. You can’t see why she’s with him in the first place. However, whatever the reason it doesn’t matter because you know she’s going to end up with the main character in the end anyway when she finally sees the douche for what he is, and leaves him for the protagonist (or the deadbeat b/f gets sliced and diced so the hero gets sloppy seconds).

REALITY: The hot chick's boyfriend is 10 times better looking, funnier, smarter, richer and all round a better person than you. Cue Nelson's (The Simpson's) point and laugh here, "HA-HA".


The survivor can magically go toe to toe with the killer during the film's finale

PATTERN: The hero is quiet and reserved throughout the majority of the movie while being eclipsed by their much more outgoing friends. As their friends meet their maker one by one the survivor begins to change. We finally reach the showdown between the sheltered protagonist and brain eating ghoul. Before the film's climax, the killer had no prob dispatching countless victims with ease (most of which were more athletic and capable of defending themselves than the main character) but now the survivor's punches, kicks and pretty much everything else hurts and slows down the killer. The antagonist's time average per kill gets all screwed up in a horror movie climax.

REALITY: You run into the killer, YOU DIE! THE END


Opening a door slowly means cheap scare soon to follow

PATTERN: The hero hears a noise coming from the closet. They slowly approach the door and then turn the handle ever so carefully. So close now, almost open and BAM! Or . . . Hero opens the door and nothing. Hero takes deep sigh of relief to turn around and BAM!

REALITY: You hear a noise and you get the crap out of the house, jump in the car and drive to Taco Bell (cause you worked up an appetite) all while calling 911. The same is applied for hearing noises upstairs.


Character is sitting in their car and BAM! Someone hits the car door window accompanied by a loud blast of music

PATTERN: There's a good chance you'll see one of these moments pop up in a horror movie made within the last decade. Funny, watch these scenes with the sound off and it's not scary at all. It has everything to do with the piercing sound of music that blasts for that split second just to get that cheap scare. Honestly, every time in a horror movie when I see a conversation being held in a parked car I immediate countdown for the old window trick (They haven't let me down yet).

REALITY: Who walks up to a car door window and slams on it to get somebody's attention? Or one step further, who just walks up and stares waiting to get the occupants attentions? Psychopaths who are already in prison for doing much worse things, that's who!


The killer walks yet still keeps up with the victim

PATTERN: This is an 80's trend. Girl is running a marathon yet for completely unexplained reasons the nutcase is taking a midnight stroll and he's still right on her heels.

REALITY: Girl runs + Killer walks = Girl gets away, comes back with police and killer doesn't get out of jail free!


Once the film's cast has been introduced in the first act, you can pick out which ones are going to die immediately

PATTERN: Douche bag Jock, hmmmm Dead! Stoner, lets think, Dead! Best friend, oh they are really Dead. Other random character who has just enough screen time . . . just paint a bulls eye on their head.

REALITY: If a Psycho wants you dead they won't take the time to knock off everybody else you know first (or anybody you've made human contact with for that matter) . . . they just ring your door bell and BAM!


The black guy always dies first!

PATTERN: For some reason or another Hollywood thinks that any minority especially African Americans can only be cast in horror movies for easy early death scenes.

REALITY: If we did a random test and had 10 white guys and 10 black guys and set a psychopathic hockey masked killer loose chances are we would still have 10 guys left. 5 black guys that had gun, and 5 white guys that have brains.


Possibly one of the most overused cheap scares. The mirror trick

PATTERN: So your washing your hands, minding your own business (keep in mind your friends have been dying off because there's a killer on the loose) you shut the water off and (wait for it) slowly look up and WHAMO! Said killer is staring at you.

REALITY: Your friends are dying for Christ sakes! Do you really have time to stand there and talk to yourself in the mirror, then lean down and scrub your hands for 60 seconds only to slowly look up, not hearing a damn killer right behind you letting himself in the room. USE HAND SANITIZER FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING HOLY! It's 2010!


The killer, although can be hurt, can never seem to be put away for good

PATTERN: The Killer gets stabbed, shot, hacked, drowned, hung, almost decapitated but you ain't getting rid of them that easily, wait what? Why not? Because of the sequel of course!

REALITY: Shotgun blast to the head equals death! Sorry kids, that's just the way life is.

A cheep scare by a loud animal.

PATTERN: It's really quiet, the YAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, a stupid black cat is having its time of the month and has a bad attitude.

REALITY: The cat scream, you kick it to the moon.

THE FINAL LIST ITEM: Someone tries to call for help, the phones dead and there's no cell phone reception.

REALITY:If you don't have signal then you need to switch to AT&T

He is a very creative individual and talented at his various jobs. Zombie has had lots of expierience in the music world ranging from bizzare concerts and being featured on soundtracks, for example his hit "Living Dead Girl" was the opening song for "Bride of Chucky" and was very well placed. Zombie has also had plenty of expierience in the film industry. He has five films under his belt to date and has many different projects on the line.

Zombie's films include "HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES" , "THE DEVIL'S REJECTS" , "HALLOWEEN" , "THE HAUNTED WORLD OF EL SUPERBEASTO" , and "H2: HALLOWEEN II" .

THE NEW HALOWEEN 3

Sometimes one wishes for the winds of change to come but instead are greeted by a gentle breeze that translates into remakes and reboots. With this topic being butchered to death over the past few years we won’t bore you with another rant about how originality is dead and Hollywood only cares about money. That story has been written. What we do want to talk about is the remaking of remakes...

Which oddly is something that we aren't sure any of us expected so soon. What do we mean by that? We’re not naive in thinking that if a film can be remade once that somehow puts it into an untouchable category that makes it off limits for future attempts at remaking the same movie. We just didn’t think it would happen for another 10 to 20 years. Obviously our heads were in the clouds because Hollywood is remaking remakes and the trend seems to be in an infant stage. One that will only grow no doubt and be built upon. With comic book movies seeing the remake of the remake treatment with films like Superman, The Hulk, and Spider-man, is it really that far fetched of an idea that horror movies are next? Texas Chainsaw Massacre was what many consider the start of the horror remake boom and talks are hot and heavy to reboot the franchise once again.

So are we loosing creativity here? Has Hollywood lost its touch? The answer is no. Creativity is at an all time high and with technology gaining access into an ever growing number of homes and business any Joe Schmo with an internet connection and half a brain can write a screen play that would probably rival half of the dreck that makes it to the silver screen these days. So with creativity not lacking why aren’t we seeing new ideas and brand new ideas flourishing on the screen, in games, and even in the music industry? The answer lies in the bottom line. The almighty dollar.

A proven franchise is not only less risk but guaranteed money. If you slap the name Friday the 13th on a film or Halloween you're guaranteeing 20 million at the box office right off the bat. Why not take the easy path? If you had a few million dollars to spend on a project would you want to take a gamble on (insert cheesy movie title here) or a franchise that has millions of fans? It’s a no brainier and who are we to argue with Hollywood for doing something each and everyone of us would do if we were in the same place. We would take the safe bet. Most of us would anyway. It’s those few of us that wouldn’t that will push the envelope and create art and a new fan base. The sad fact of the matter is for every 30 films those creative artists make, 29 will fail and loose money. It takes all the stars to lineup perfectly to create another Halloween or Friday the 13th. It isn’t something that just happens. Many chase that dream never to realize it.

Where are we going with this you ask? We’ll we’ve mentioned the film Halloween. We’ve seen Rob Zombie take the film and re-imagine it. Some loved it and others loathed it. Regardless of your feelings, he certainty put his own flare on the series. Something that we can applaud for the simple fact that at the very least he created his own vision. But that also has us thinking. With Rob Zombie’s Halloween 2 not performing well at the box office, the Weinstein Brothers reported that Halloween 3 in 3D would be in the development stages. That news broke on the weekend Rob’s H2 came out. It took many of us in the industry by surprise but it also made sense. It gave fans that hated the film something to hang their hats on, hoping that the series may once again take a different turn. The director and writer of My Bloody Valentine 3D, Patrick Lussier and Todd Farmer, were signed on and the film was all but a done deal. Fast forward a week or two later and the project was canceled. It left many of us scratching our heads wondering why the fast axe? We’ve heard nothing about the project since and we are beginning to put the puzzle together on why that may be.

We go back to where this story started…remakes. How unlikely would a remake of the Halloween franchise for a second time be? Not that unlikely and we feel strongly that something might just be in the works. Again Rob Zombie gave the Halloween series a shot in the arm that it needed. A different look and feel. A very gritty, dirty look and feel that only Rob Zombie can do, and do well. He created his version of Halloween but that was his vision. Michael Myers is a character that was built in the suburbs. An old fashioned 50’s mid western setting with fall leaves blowing in the wind and kids carving jack-o-lanterns on the porch. Something so innocent. A time that many of us remember as a child trick or treating or at the very least picture in our mind when thinking of the holiday. But that fun and exciting time turned so brutal when the character of Michael Myers was unleashed and started terrorizing Haddonfield, his home. It was that contrast that we feel the fan base may be longing for again and something they may be wanting to reinvent. Instead of trying to continue Zombie’s gritty style we see the studios remaking the franchise taking it into an entirely new direction, one where nostalgia meets brutality. It will have the Halloween stamp on it. It will cause fans in droves to go see it. It will continue on one of the greatest horror icons in history and most importantly it's a safe bet, it will make money. Again, you have to think of the dollars at the end of the day.

So with that being said, how would you feel to see a reboot of a reboot? Do you welcome the idea or does remaking something so many times tarnish the originality that still exists? Isn’t there a point when an idea becomes so used up that we as an audience just grow tired of it? Will that happen to Halloween and when is too many remakes too many? If we are rebooting a franchise every 5 or 10 years when does it stop?

HALLOWEEN SPIN OFF

Let us introduce you to filmmaker William Sanders. He lives, breaths, sleeps everything to do with Michael Myers and the original Halloween. He has even gone so far to grabbing a few lines of dialogue from the film and creating an entire ninety-nine minute indie film named the "Last Supper: The Russellville Hacksaw Murders"

"Last Supper" is based on a line of dialogue from the film when Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasence) goes to a cemetery in search of Judith Myers’ grave. While in search of the grave marker, the graveyard keeper tells Loomis a story about Charlie Bowles, but before the gravekeeper can finish the story Loomis goes on about Michael Myers and the story of Halloween continues there.
For reference the dialogue reads per the script: "Every town has something like this happen. I remember a guy over in Russellville. Charlie Bowles. About fifteen year ago he finished dinner, excused himself from the table, went out into the garage and got a hacksaw, then came back into the house, kissed his wife and two children goodbye, and then proceeded to ..."

"This small scene has left many fans including myself wondering what did ol' Charlie Bowles do?" says Sanders. "In my research for this script and film, I have found that Charlie Bowles was a real man from John Carpenter’s past; rumor has it that he lives in Russellville, Kentucky, near Bowling Green and was a theatre owner at the theatre that Carpenter used to see films at."

"Last Supper: The Russellville Hacksaw Murders" has been written and will be directed by Sanders. Shooting begins this fall, quite possibly Halloween time. What do you think Bidites? Good idea for an extension of the original film?

SAW II: FLESH AND BLOOD (VIDEOGAME)

JIGSAW (TOBIN BELL) RETURNS FOR MORE HORROR, PAIN, SCARES, AND BLOOD!!!!

TRAILER



Below is the official press release:

Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc., today announced that actor Tobin Bell will return as Jigsaw, voicing the bone-chilling character in the upcoming video game sequel of the most successful horror franchise in history - SAW. Currently in development for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, SAW II: Flesh & Blood introduces a new storyline that will haunt players as they go deeper into the horror and mystery of Jigsaw's subjects.

"Tobin Bell had such a prevailing performance in the first SAW game that there was no question about bringing him back for the sequel," said Shinji Hirano, President of Konami Digital Entertainment Inc. "Having Tobin's voice and likeness in SAW II: Flesh & Blood will give players their own haunting one-on-one relationship with Jigsaw, creating a horrifying and frightening experience that no SAW fan will ever forget."

"We are excited Tobin Bell is lending his voice once again for the video game's second installment, SAW II: Flesh & Blood. It's important for us to bring the original SAW elements into the gamers' view while staying consistent and keeping our diehard fans happy," said franchise producers Mark Burg and Oren Koules of Twisted Pictures.

The award-winning actor has claimed two MTV Movie Award nominations and three consecutive Spike TV Scream Award nominations for "Best Villain." Winning the Fuse/Fangoria Chainsaw Award for "Best Butcher," Bell's Jigsaw is widely regarded as one of cinema's most terrifying villains. His chilling and immediately recognizable voice is essential to the terror because he rarely confronts his victims in person, preferring to communicate via recordings, speaking through a puppet named Billy. Jigsaw traps his victims in brutal mechanical devices and forces them to acknowledge the mistakes in their life while testing their resolve to live, usually with gruesome and deadly consequences.

Following the success of the first SAW video game, SAW II: Flesh & Blood invites players back into Jigsaw's twisted world in an entirely new storyline that takes place between the first and second film. This time around players are put in the shoes of Detective Tapp's estranged son, Michael, who has been captured by Jigsaw after betraying his father. As the game evolves, players will face mind-bending puzzles as they navigate their way through Jigsaw's terrifying world and defend themselves against his minions. And of course, players must survive a new collection of stomach-twisting traps such as "Elevator Music," which chains victims to an elevator that will tear their bodies in half if they fail to solve three sets of puzzles before time runs out.

SAW II: Flesh & Blood will be released in North America, as will the seventh installment of the SAW film franchise in 3D, which is expected to hit theaters nationwide this Halloween. For more information about the game, please visit Konami online."

Key Features:

* Gruesome Mechanical Traps – Jigsaw has devised a new series of traps that will force you to make life or death decisions as you witness the machines destroy others and yourself

* Challenging Puzzles – A new set of puzzles will test your wits as you work quickly to advance through Jigsaw’s game

* New Combat System – The visceral fighting mechanic requires precise timing to defend yourself from aggressive minions

* Unique Horror Experience – With a blend of intense combat, mind-bending puzzles, and a twisted storyline, players will face horror and terror that only SAW can deliver

FLASHBACK: HALLOWEEN 2

29 Years ago HALLOWEEN II debuted and thrilled many. The film's predecessor HALLOWEEN, a film by John Carpetner and Debra Hill, has grossed over 3 million dollars to date. The film was an obvious sucess and made as a cash cow because of the original movie. The film, directed by Rick Rosenthal, grossed $7,676,836 in one weekend and has grossed over $25,533,818 to date.

The film was overlooked by many as a common sequel. It is, however, a great work of art. The film has good direction and a cast that delivers. Overall the film holds it's spot in the numerous sequels of the HALLOWEEN franchise.

PLOT

(SPOILERS)

The film begins with the last few scenes of the original film, where Laurie (Jamie Lee Curtis) sends the two kids she's babysitting (Brian Andrews, Kyle Richards) to run and get help after the home has been invaded by psychopath Michael Myers (Dick Warlock). After the kids run off screaming, she is attacked by Myers again, and is rescued when Dr. Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasance) arrives and shoot Myers off of the upstairs balcony.

From here, the film is entirely new. Loomis rushes out to the lawn and finds that Myers has vanished, leaving behind only a bloody imprint in the grass. He instructs a neighbor to phone the news to the police and runs off in search of Myers again. Myers, aka The Shape, lurks in the alleys nearby, watching Dr. Loomis from a distance. Loomis meets up with Sherrif Leigh Brackett (Charles Cyphers) and they drive off in another direction in search of Myers. Myers then steals a kitchen knife from a neighbor woman (Lucille Benson). Down the street, Myers sees a young girl by the name of Alice (Anne Bruner) outside and stalks her. Inside, Alice is speaking on the phone with a friend who informs her that someone was murdered in Haddonfield. Alice switches on the radio and is shocked at the news when suddenly, the back door creaks open. Afraid, Alice ventures into the living room where Myers jumps out and thrusts the kitchen knife into her chest, causing blood to spurt up onto her neck.

Paramedics arrive at the Doyle house and take Laurie away on a stretcher. She appears to be in shock, and she begs them not to put her to sleep. The two EMTs are Budd (Leo Rossi) and Jimmy (Lance Guest). Jimmy is younger and takes an immediate interest in Laurie, concerned and obviously distressed that someone close to him in age has been attacked in Haddonfield. They take her to Haddonfield Memorial Hospital, where she is tended to by Dr. Mixter (Ford Rainey), head nurse Mrs. Alves (Gloria Gifford), and RN Jill (Tawny Moyer).

Loomis and Brackett circle the neighborhood and happen upon a young man wearing a white mask similar to the one worn by Myers. In a freak accident, they pursue him but an approaching patrol car crashes into him and then into the side of a van. The violent explosion incinerates the body. One of the approaching patrolmen, Deputy Hunt (Hunter von Leer), has come to tell Brackett the bad news that his daughter is among the dead that have been discovered in the wake of Myers's rampage. They drive off to the location so that Brackett can identify her. Brackett, in shock at finding his daughter dead, blames Loomis for allowing Myers to escape and departs, leaving Hunt in charge. Loomis convinces Hunt that Michael Myers could possibly still be alive, since they are uncertain who exactly was struck and killed by the patrol car.

Another young nurse, Karen (Pamela Susan Shoop) arrives at the hospital after staying too late at a Halloween party. She is sharply reprimanded by Mrs. Alves, even as they are both unaware that Michael Myers is lurking in the hospital, watching them--Myers has overheard a radio broadcast announcing that Laurie was taken to the hospital, and has followed her here. Jimmy schemes to be alone with Laurie, both to console her and get closer to her. He reveals to her that the crazy man who was pursuing her earlier was Michael Myers, who escaped from the mental hospital the previous night. Laurie is confused and does not understand why she seems to have been targeted by Myers. Mrs. Alves interrupts and sends Jimmy away, then discovers that the phones are suddenly out of service. The security guard, Mr. Garrett (Cliff Emmich), explores the basement and rear of the hospital to search for the trouble and after he searches one of the closets, Michael suddenly leaps out and kills him by bashing him over the head with the back of a hammer. Mr. Garrett's death goes unnoticed despite the presence of a nursing assistant named Janet (Ana Alicia).

Loomis and Hunt investigate a break in at the local elementary school and find that Myers has been there; a child's drawing of a family has a butcher knife sticking in the image of the sister, and the word "Samhain" has been scrawled in blood on the chalk board. Loomis remarks on the Celtic origins of the word, and he is surprised when Marion Chambers (Nancy Stephens) approaches him. Chambers, who was with Loomis the previous night when Myers made his escape, has been sent with a Marshal (John Zenda) to return Loomis to Haddonfield, on orders from the governor. Loomis is forcibly taken away, while Hunt promises to find Myers.

Myers continues to murder the staff at the hospital. Budd and Karen attempt to make love in a hospital therapy pool, but Myers turns up the temperature until Budd gets out to check it. After strangling Budd to death, he approaches Karen from behind and seizes her, holding her under the scalding hot water until she drowns, the flesh peeled away from her face.

Laurie has a reaction to her medication and goes into shock, and when Janet goes to get Dr. Mixter, she finds him dead in his private office, a needle thrust into one eyeball. Myers appears behind Janet and grabs her, thrusting another needle into her temple until she, too, falls down dead.

Jimmy goes off to find help when nobody returns, and Jill is summoned by another patient. While she is gone, Myers enters Laurie's room at stabs at her bed, but she is gone. When Jill returns, she finds the room empty. Hindered by a cracked ankle and dazed from the drugs, Laurie limps through the now-quiet halls of the hospital, looking for a safe place to hide.

Jimmy reappears and sends Jill off to get help, telling her to drive into town and bring back the police. But after she leaves, he finds the body of Mrs. Alves tied to a table, an IV tube in her arm having drained all of her blood out onto the floor. Suddenly he panics and tries to run, but he slips in the blood and falls on his back, slamming his head down on the floor, rendering him unconscious.

Jill finds all of the cars in the parking lot disabled, the tires slashed and the engines tampered with. After she runs back into the hospital, she sees Laurie in a hallway and tries to reach her, but Myers appears and kills her with a scalpel in her back. Laurie witnesses it and is terrified into action; she runs through the halls with Myers in pursuit. Rushing down a stairwell and into the basement, Laurie corners herself in a boiler room and must climb through a small window near the ceiling to escape, Myers almost slashing her ankles. After nearly cornering her again in an elevator, Laurie escapes and rushes into the parking lot, hiding in a parked car.

In the Marshal's car, Marion has a discussion with Dr. Loomis where she reveals information that he did not previously know; Laurie Strode is actually the sister of Michael Myers, born two years before Michael's original crime and adopted after the death of the parents two years after. Loomis immediately understands that Michael is after Laurie for a reason and commandeers the Marshal's car, pulling a gun on him and forcing him to make for the hospital.

In the parking lot of the hospital, Laurie sees a dark shape open the car door and get inside--it is Jimmy. He tries to start the car and cannot; Laurie tries to talk to him but he falls over the wheel again, passed out. The horn goes off and Laurie panics again, her hiding place revealed. She tries to leave the car and falls in the parking lot, still dazed. As she lays there, the Marshal's car pulls up and Loomis, Marion, and the Marshal get out and go into the hospital. Laurie cannot cry out until it's too late and they are inside, pulling the doors shut behind them.

As she gets to her feet, Myers appears across the parking lot, walking slowly toward her. Laurie runs to the doors and bangs on them, screaming, and attracts the attention of the others. They let her inside and Myers walks right through the closed glass doors. Loomis shoots him with his gun and he falls over, seemingly dead. After sending Marion out to the Marshal's car to use the radio for summoning the police, Loomis turns to comfort Laurie. Myers rises up again and slits the Marshal's throat with a scalpel, chasing Loomis and Laurie deeper into the hospital.

They corner themselves in an operating room. As Myers breaks down the door, Loomis gives Laurie his gun, which only has two shots left in it. When Myers gets in, he stabs Loomis in the stomach. Loomis falls over, mortally wounded. Laurie tries to stop Michael by calling his name, but he advances on her and she shoots him in the eyes. Blinded, he starts swinging his scalpel wildly. Loomis struggles to his feet and begins releasing oxygen into the room from the many tanks on the walls. Laurie follows suit until the doctor tells her to run. She bolts from the room and runs down the hall as Loomis ignites his cigarette lighter, causing a huge explosion. Even from the inferno, Myers emerges and keeps walking toward Laurie, until the flames consume him and he falls.

As the sky lightens into morning, Laurie is taken outside the hospital and placed into the back of an ambulance, as reporters, authorities and other onlookers watch. She stares blankly as the ambulance pulls away, seemingly in shock, but alive.
