Good afternoon, House of Madness scavengers:
My initial motive for this blog was to concoct a list of solid Easter horror films, and then I quickly realized how short that list would be. Not only would the list be lacking in quantity, it would also suffer dearly in quality. Topping the Easter horror list is arguably "Critters 2" (1988), and that's nothing to get excited about when you really think on it. Did Jesus really give up his life so we could celebrate Easter with "Critters 2"!? Well, I'm sure he had ulterior motives other than prolonging humanity in the name of horror, but if not, this is a slap in the proverbial face. There are plenty of great Christmas horror delights to choose from, Halloween is absolutely overflowing with horror gems, and even Valentine's Day has a chosen few to help celebrate the day with a helping of guts and gore. And Easter gets "Critters 2". Oh well, it's not like we can't enjoy the day without a horror movie dedicated to it, but wouldn't that be way more fun? Hey Hollywood, get off your ass and get us some real Easter treats, would ya!? I'll take blood and carnage over eggs and chocolate every day of the week; it's just too bad when a day celebrating someone's resurrection gives us nothing more than furry fiends ravaging the screen with silliness - it's about time we got a serious horror movie commemorating death and revival, don't you think? Hop to it, Hollywood!
