| The Hunger - a vampire flick with David Bowie and Susan Sarandon. Its opening scene shows a view of a dance club with a caged Peter Murphy singing "Bela Lugosi's Dead." Rocky Horror Picture Show - a cult classic musical with Tim Curry as a flamboyant transvestite. A little too strange to be described. Most small independent film theaters will have a Rocky Horror showing night now and again where people come dressed as the characters. There is a stage area where players mimic the movie as it plays. A caller leads the standard interjected addition of lines, and the audience participates in the scenes by throwing rice at the wedding scene, squirting squirtguns during the scene where it's raining, dancing during the "Time Warp" song etc. Quite a fun event. Hellraiser (and all of the sequels) - Some horror flicks hit it big with some people... some don't care for them at all. Dracula - from Bela Lugosi's version to the Francis Ford Coppola version, it tends to be a big classic (as well as the book). Heathers - an eighties movie with Winona Ryder, Christian Slater, and Shannen Doherty that offers a black humor about high school and killing. The Crow - starring Brandon Lee (who was accidentally killed during filming). A classic truly for its dark themes of murder, revenge, love, urban decay. Dark aesthetics in the film with shots of a graveyard and an elaborate church. Edward Scissorhands - with Johnny Depp, a movie about a misfit with an unusual hedge-trimming genius who seems a bit out of place in the picture perfect suburbia. The Nightmare Before Christmas - catchy tunes like "This Is Halloween" and classic characters like Jack the Pumpkin King and Sally make it a big hit. Beetlejuice - with Geena Davis, Winona Ryder and Michael Keaton. Winona Ryder's character is a Goth classic, the spooky girl Lydia. Batman Returns - The wintertime atmosphere and the sleek sexy fetish inspired catwoman costume make this movie appealing. It had a darker feel than all of the following sequels. The Craft - 1996 film with Neve Campbell. This wasn't the best movie, but it did inspirer a lot of young teens to get into wicca. It is one of the few movies that has a gothic chick as a main character... not that she is portrayed in a realistically Goth way. Gothic - not what you might first think, its true to the original gothic literature movement. It is a movie about the night that Mary Shelley first came up with the idea for Frankenstein. Full of ghost stories, hallucinations, horror and madness. The Lost Boys - with Corey Haim, Corey Feldman and Keifer Sutherland, it's one of the classic 80's teenage renegade vampire flicks, with an even better soundtrack. A Clockwork Orange - A twisted film based on the novel concerning society, violence, the government, mind control and conditioning. |
