Wednesday's Guest Writer - Benny


This week's guest writer is Mary's brother and Mickey's son, Benny - the youngest of the clan.


Suggestions to your scariest villain lists.

The Gramercy Riffs (The Warriors) - A deadly street gang with huge numbers that is actually somewhat sophisticated and organized . . . not good.

Mr. Blonde (Reservoir Dogs) - Who can forget the "stuck in the middle with you" scene. Few scenes in movie history can take an already popular song and change them forever. I now cringe every time it comes on the radio.

Hitch hiker (Texas Chainsaw Massacre) - I can't even describe the first scene with the hitch hiker.  Just uncomfortable, scary and brilliantly acted.

My Top 5 "Horror " Movie Heroes 

1. Ash (Evil Dead 1 & 2, Army of Darkness) The Ultimate, the movies might be kind of silly but there is no question Ash could have taken care of Michael Myers or Jason . 

2. Sarah Connor (Terminator) She killed an Arnold Schwarzenegger robot that was designed to kill, and eventually gave birth to the mad that would save the world. 

3. Lewis (Deliverance) If you have not seen this movie I'm not going to describe it, but if you have I know somewhere around the middle of that movie you thought "thank goodness for Burt Reynolds".

4. Dr Van Helsing (Horror of Dracula) Even the greatest Dracula ever(Christopher Lee) was no match for Peter Cushing's Van Helsing. Cushing's Oscar worthy turn as the great vampire slayer is just one thing that makes this the greatest Dracula movie of all, which just so happens to have the greatest climax in film history. 

5. Ben (Night of the Living Dead) Nobody knew what a zombie was before, but this guy sure knew how to kill them.
