You want to talk horror??? Let's talk about TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE,' Uno and Dos. Dos, more emphatically, since the humor (that is, if you can make the quite demented film humorous - re-evaluate Chop-Top's character - Bill Mosely did an incredible job portraying a quite psychotic, inner-self type of 'comedian') is witty and it correlates with the theme of the film [since the entire 'family' consists of a bunch of 'nutbag'(s) (to steal a quote from Brad Pitt in 'Seven.")]. Chop-Top: "Lick my plate, you dog-d**k!!" Another classic: RE-ANIMATOR - Oh, I cannot say enough about this film - FX were absolutely incredible, and dialogue wasn't that bad. If you dig gore, this is a MUST SEE! Specific characters in horror: Christopher Walken in PROPHECY. Tarrintino, Clooney, and esp. Tom Savini in FROM DUSK TILL DAWN. Bruce Campbell in EVIL DEAD UNO and DOS. Sissy Spacek (sp?) in CARRIE. Jack in THE SHINING. Savini (strictly to facilitate humor) in DAWN OF THE DEAD. Other classics: DAY OF THE DEAD (some of the best FX ever!!!) FRIDAY THE 13TH (UNO) SHOCKER HELLRAISER (UNO) PUMPKINHEAD (UNO) WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE? THE BIRDS NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (UNO) PSYCHO UNO and DOS - Remember in 'Dos,' when Norman crushes his 'mother's' head with a shovel? Great FX, indeed! INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS BASKET CASE (UNO) HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER (I think that's the title) RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD Rent and ENJOY! ******************************* Clint Yoby mailto:[log in to unmask] TCF Dept/University of Alabama "Life could slip away in absent minded numbness I'm only saying this 'cuz I wish for the best When you stay in self-incarceration I think it's such a shame.
