Chapter 119: Special

I wrote three R19 spin-offs for “Mother-Daughter Threesome” and “Sister Threesome,” but I found them unarousing, so I just deleted them.

Looks like I’m not cut out for writing erotic stories yet.

When I can crank up the heat in my writing and create erotic stories that give even me a raging hard-on, I’ll write and post them.

Sorry for not keeping my promise.

Instead of an R18 spin-off, I’ll share my thoughts on horror movies!

Sharp-eyed readers will have noticed the chapter subtitles are parodies of horror films.

I’d like to introduce the movies that inspired those subtitles.

I wanted to include posters and stills, but copyright fears held me back.

Let’s dive in.

1. The Last House on the Left (1972, Wes Craven)

Wes Craven’s shocking directorial debut.

Craven’s a genius who left his mark on film history with nightmarish classics like “The Hills Have Eyes,” “A Nightmare on Elm Street,” and “Scream.”

Almost 50 years on, “The Last House on the Left” still packs a visceral punch.

Is there anything as passionate and vivid as revenge?

2. It (2017, Andres Muschietti)

The film adaptation of Stephen King’s novel “It.”

I first saw “It” as the 1990 TV series, watching with my older cousin as a kid.

Pennywise’s creepy mug is still burned into my brain.

But the horror flick with the most impressive clown was “Clown,” starring Eli Roth.

It’s less well-known than “It,” but here’s the gist:

A regular dad dons a clown costume for his kid’s birthday party.

Then he can’t take it off. It’s stuck to him like a second skin, no matter how hard he tries to peel it away.

Trapped in the costume, the guy slowly transforms into a clown…

3. Hellraiser (1987, Clive Barker)

Remember Pinhead?

That’s a face you can’t unsee.

I watched this with my dad in elementary school.

Too young to follow the plot, all I remember is how gross the skinless makeup was.

Rewatching it years later, I found it oddly moving.

It’s a twisted masterpiece that’s still fun to watch.

4. Child’s Play (1988, Tom Holland)

Chucky!

Cable channels used to air this whenever they had dead air to fill.

If you’re my age, you remember Chucky’s evil mug. And that fiery end.

By the way, the new Chucky series is pretty good too. Perfect for reliving your childhood nightmares.

5. The Void (2016, Steven Kostanski)

Caught this at a friend’s place. In Korea, it’s called “Murder Ward.”

It’s about folks trapped in a hospital, surrounded by a weird cult and monsters.

The setup – regular people vs. supernatural baddies – is reminiscent of “The Mist.”

The creatures are seriously impressive. There’s something special about 100% practical effects, no CGI in sight.

A must-watch for cosmic horror fans.

The ending will mess with your head.

6. Midsommar (2019, Ari Aster)

Ari Aster… what a gem of a director.

“Midsommar” hits you like a truck right from the start. Then it settles into classic folk horror territory.

A bunch of nutjobs with completely warped values. It’s scarier that their humanity isn’t gone, just twisted.

Folk horror’s charm is watching the main character either join the crazies or fight like hell not to.

The dreamy visuals and editing that mess with your sense of time are a real treat.

7. Friday the 13th (1980, Sean S. Cunningham)

Too famous. Moving on.

8. A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984, Wes Craven)

Ditto.

9. The Midnight Meat Train (2008, Kitamura Ryuhei)

Based on a Clive Barker short story, same guy who wrote “Hellraiser.”

There’s a killer who goes to town on subway passengers with a meat tenderizer.

Even creepier, he’s wearing a plain suit instead of typical slasher gear.

It’s a wild combo. Late-night subway + meat tenderizer + suit.

10. The Cabin in the Woods (2012, Drew Goddard)

A horror flick starring Thor. No Loki, though.

This one tears apart horror movie clichés.

If “Scream” poked fun at slashers, “Cabin in the Woods” roasts the whole horror genre.

It’s special to me. I… borrowed a lot from it.

11. The Exorcist (1973, William Friedkin)

The stairs scene messed me up for a while.

It’s a knockout horror film in so many ways.

They say there are subliminal devil images hidden in it. Wonder if the Blumhouse remake will pull the same trick?

12. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974, Tobe Hooper)

Tobe Hooper’s magnum opus.

Saw parts 1 & 2 in elementary school. Leatherface chased me through my dreams for two weeks straight.

Part 1 brings the scares, Part 2 brings the fun.

The dinner scene in Part 1 is unforgettable. So real, I wondered if they’d hired actual psychos.

In Part 2, Leatherface and the sheriff’s chainsaw duel is pure, raw power on screen.

And that final chainsaw dance? Chef’s kiss.

The Netflix 2022 version, though… Yikes.

13. Scary True Stories (2006, Keita Amemiya)

My Japanese teacher showed us this right after finals.

It’s a trio of short, twisted tales. Each one’s a delightfully messed-up treat.

The ghost girl’s face became a classic internet jump scare.

14. Pet Sematary (2019, Kevin Kolsch)

Another Stephen King adaptation, filmed twice now.

I’ve seen the ’89 version, but not the 2019 one yet.

It’s Exhibit A for why you shouldn’t trust horror movie doctors.

Make sure to blast the Ramones’ “Pet Sematary” while you watch!

15. From Dusk Till Dawn (1996, Robert Rodriguez)

From Robert Rodriguez, the “Machete” guy.

Starts as a crime flick, then goes bonkers when the crew hits a certain bar.

There’s a dude with a crotch gun called “Sex Machine.” Yeah.

The vampire-crushing action never gets old.

For a B-movie junkie like me, it was pure gold.

Quentin Tarantino stars and actually acts his ass off.

16. The Cave (2005, Bruce Hunt)

Full disclosure: Never seen it.

Was gonna use “The Descent” as the subtitle but switched.

“The Descent” is a f*cking masterpiece. Saw it with a buddy in elementary school, rewatched on Netflix recently. Still holds up.

That ending, though…!

17. Gingerdead Man (2005, Charles Band)

A Full Moon Features fever dream. Pure insanity.

I dig these wacky B-movies, but they all leave you feeling like you’ve been hit by a truck.

18. The Blair Witch Project (1999, Daniel Myrick)

The undisputed champ of my personal “Scariest Movie Ever” list.

First and only flick that had me noping out and shutting off the TV.

Don’t think anything will top it for pure terror.

19. It Comes at Night (2017, Trey Edward Shults)

A24 usually delivers the goods. Beautiful, unique films with serious quality…

“It Comes at Night” is one of their best horror offerings.

It shows how humans become monsters when pushed to the brink, with a sticky, unsettling style.

Hits different after living through COVID.

20. John Dies at the End (2012, Don Coscarelli)

A trippy, feel-good sci-fi horror romp.

The wild, shameless ideas are a blast.

Wanted to read the book, but it’s out of print. No luck finding a copy.

This took longer than I thought to write up.

I’ll take a breather and be back with something new.

Thanks for reading.

Shout out to OO_435 and Wandering Marble Eye for the support.

This is the last chapter for now.
