At the bottom of the post are the Coffin Hop's "Gory Details" and a link to hop back to the main list of participating blogs. So grab a cup of hot cocoa in your favorite skull mug, lock the windows, check your closets (make sure to get way back, where the darkness bunches), and have a seat - the horror is about to begin.
Oh, and here is a pic of the giveaway's grand prize - a custom-made vampire stake! It's 12 7/8" in length, pine, hand-turned and hand-stained. And watch out - that point is sharp!

ReplyDelete"I'm your boyfriend now!" (Freddy to Nancy, original "Nightmare on Elm St." or "Whatever it is, it's weird and pissed off!" (Clark to rest of station, "The Thing" 1982 version.) or basically every one of Hudson's lines in "Aliens."
Hudson rocks!
DeleteI *love* DRAG ME TO HELL, and was really surprised it didn't get a bigger fanfare following. Glad you quoted it! Happy Coffin Hoppin'!
ReplyDelete-aniko

ReplyDeleteJolie du Pre
Precious Monsters
I'm happy you made the exception!
DeleteI know it's cliche for the hipsters to say (+1 for unintentional rhyming skills?) but I gotta go with the 1982 version of THE THING. Every time.
ReplyDeleteGreat post and amazing contest, Beck. Very glad to have you with us. Happy Hopping!
Did I not include any lines from The Thing? For shame! Am going to make this a Top 100 at some point...thanks for stopping by, Axel!
DeleteMy favorite scary movie is "Poltergeist." It still scares the bejesus out of me!
ReplyDeleteHmm I posted a comment earlier. I don't know why it didn't register. Anyway, I enjoyed the list! "Poltergeist" is my favorite horror movie and always will be.
ReplyDeleteHappy Hopping!!
"First you wanna kill me, now you wanna kiss me... blow!" Army of Darkness - fantastic list, fun, fun, fun ;}
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Had trouble narrowing it down to 2 quotes from Army of Darkness. There are SO many good ones! "Shop smart. Shop S-Mart."
DeleteA Nightmare on Elm Street!!!!!!!
ReplyDelete:)))))
Johanna K Pitcairn from the Manicheans
The original Night of the Living Dead
ReplyDeleteWOW, you compiled one hell of a list! You managed to get most of my favs in there too. Happy Hopping!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite scary movie will ALWAYS be Halloween! That movie is just creepy and twisted and awesome!
ReplyDeleteFavorite scary movie is Skeleton Key.
ReplyDeleteThe Exorcist!!
ReplyDeleteThe Shining. and Cujo was really bad.
ReplyDeleteLove the list. I've never seen Tremors. I might have to now. That's a hell of a line. Haven't seen They Live in forever, but I remember that one. Psycho is great. I practically grew up with The Fog. And you could have grabbed 50 quotes from The Exorcist alone.
ReplyDeleteGreat to meet you. New follower.
Happy Hopping.

There are so many awesome movies in that list! I have seen most of them, but the few that I haven't, I have now on a list. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHmm, favorite scary movie? The Shining, probably. But as for Halloween movies, yesterday I couldn't help myself and had a mini-marathon of Nightmare Before Christmas and Trick 'r Treat, two of my favorites to put me in the spirit of the season!
ReplyDeleteMy fav scary movie is the Exorcist.
ReplyDeleteerma2167@sbcglobal.net
I like all those mentioned and my favorite scary movie is John Carpenter's The Thing
ReplyDeletelindahl at rogers dot com
Actual scary movie would be either The Exorcist or The Shining. But hilarious scary movie (and ones I watch every Halloween) would be the Evil Dead/Army of Darkness movies. Gotta love the boomstick! =)
ReplyDeleteCliche as they may be, I am in love with the SAW franchise. Though 5 and 7 were horribly weak, the series still holds a special place in my heart.
ReplyDeleteThe Sixth Sense!
