We’re coming up into the home stretch on our 30-Day Horror Challenge! The topic for today is a list of “Your ‘Desert Island’ horror films”
The concept of a ‘Desert Island’ list of films is, of course, a list of horror movies I’d want to have with me if I were stranded on a desert island.
I usually hate these kind of questions. The desert island variety, the “last meal on death row” variety or a “last day on Earth” variety…. all those sorts of situations where I have to make choices based on some super depressing super terrifying instances that I can’t otherwise escape from. People really need to stop these sorts of quizzes! I don’t wanna pick a last meal! I wanna eat forever!!
Quite literally “forever of course. I’m an Italian-American boy, if there was a way I could sit at a table and spend the rest of my life eating one course after another of delicious food I would die a happy man! Fat and happy, and probably of some sort of heart disease, but happy!
Right, desert island. I make some stupid choices in life that result in my being deserted on a desert island with no one but me. My choice has nothing to do with a satellite phone or a machine gun or a collapsible helicopter or rubber lifeboat or a lifetime of Italian food entrees and a table to eat them at, but RATHER, my only choice is “So what scary movies do you want to bring with you?”
Who comes up with these things?? Do you think my priorities right now have anything to do with sitting in the sand and watching TV??
Asshole!
Alright if I had to choose a list of horror movies I theoretically could watch over and over because I’m stuck on a desert island and can get no more than what’s with me. “The Shining,” “The Lost Boys,” the complete collection of the TV series “Tales From the Darkside” and, hmmm, something with a sexy lady on it because desert islands are lonely places.
OH!!
“Return of the Living Dead 3.” Just trust me on this one.
