Have a Horror Movie Marathon!
by Katy White
Got nothing to do on Halloween? Have a Horror Movie Marathon! Here are some horror classics to choose from. View at your own risk.
1.)A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984): A group of teens are being haunted in their dreams by a man named Freddy Krueger. He has a terribly burned face, knives for fingers (well, only on one hand), and the intent to kill. Sure, it may just seem like it’s a bad dream. But here’s the catch: Whatever happens to you in the dream, happens to you in real life. There is some good news though: if you never sleep again, you’ll be just fine.
Why you should watch it: This movie is a horror classic, and despite its old age, it still lives up to today’s standards.
2.)Halloween (1978): Six year old, Michael Myers brutally kills his older sister on the night of Halloween. Fifteen years later he escapes from the mental institution and sets out to find his younger sister, Laurie. Oh, and he may kill a few of her friends on the way.
3.)Scream: A year after Sidney Prescotts mother was brutally raped and murdered, new killings began to arise. The killer is a man in a ghost mask, and now he’s after Sidney.
4.)Friday The 13th (1980): Years after Jason Vorhees drowned at camp crystal lake, the camp is finally reopening. The week before opening, the counselors are stalked and murdered at the campsite by an unknown assailant.
5.)Texas Chainsaw Massacre(2003): While driving down a desolate country road in Texas, a group of teens decide to pick up a hitchhiker in distress, who then decides to commit suicide in their van. The kids go off to seek help, but instead they run into a family of homicidal, cannibalistic, inbreds. Watch in horror as these kids run for their lives. Oh, and watch out for leather face; the guy in the leather mask who likes to chase people with a chainsaw in hand.
