More Eberty Goodness

[jetpack_monkey]

On July 4th, Michael "Egregious" Gunrow of The Horror Review approached me and let me know he was working on an article in my defense (or at least, in defense of Dead Teenager Movies). He and THR's editor were also compiling Ebert's requested list of the 100 greatest (not great, thankfully) Dead Teenager Movies. I agreed to help with the list.

Well, it's all done and posted today.

The Horror Review's article.

My companion article (and the first time I point out the whole Ebert thing on Classic-Horror).

Most importantly, The List. It's been sent to Ebert as well, per his request.

It's been an excellent experience working with Gunrow on the list and exciting to find a fellow horror fan with the same appreciation for the genre (although he and I disagree quite a lot on Wrong Turn).

It also makes me want to run the Caligari's Cabinet horror poll again in November and December. It's a thought, anyway.

Wrong Turn was on my Top 10 DTM movies, but another one of the critics felt it was the worst piece of cinematic scum to ever ooze across the face of the Earth. Its current position is a heavy compromise on both of our parts.

Also, having not seen Jeepers Creepers 2 or Soul Survivors, those rankings were based entirely on the other two critics' opinions.

"Wrong Turn was on my Top 10 DTM movies, but another one of the critics felt it was the worst piece of cinematic scum to ever ooze across the face of the Earth. Its current position is a heavy compromise on both of our parts."

Yeah, I'd rate it just below the true classics of the genre too, the Screams, the First Freddy, First Halloween, that sorta thing.

"Also, having not seen Jeepers Creepers 2 or Soul Survivors, those rankings were based entirely on the other two critics' opinions."

See Jeepers Creepers 2 but avoid Soul Surviours like the plague, it's disjointed garbage....
