Horror Classics
From creepy kids, mad clowns and other wacky freaks
The darkness of the night slowly gives in to dawn. Thick wafts of fog lie on the surrounding fields, leaving only the outlines of the balding trees. The wet coldness creeps into the bones and the icy knowledge goes into the brain...summer is over! But let's not fall into winter depression, rather concentrate on the beautiful sides of autumn: Pumpkins and of course Halloween!
Let's get in the mood for the last-named and get a little inspiration for this year's costume by studying the greatest horror movie classics today.
# Number 1
A flashing television screen, a picture of a well and a soaked girl in a nightgown - it doesn't take more to scare me since I watched "The Ring" in the dimmed bedroom of a friend in my youth. The way home was the worst of my life, constantly haunted by the familiar words "seven days" in my head. Based on the Japanese novel "Ringu", the horror film is about a series of mysterious deaths that are directly related to a video. An intrepid journalist starts a daring educational journey and finds out all kinds of information about the creepy girl Samara.

It stays moist and wet. From Samaras' well we enter the canalization of Derry, where we go on a wild ride with the "MS Georgie". At the end, IT welcomes us with the words: "They fly, oh yes, down here they all fly". However, what if I don't want to fly at all? Especially not in the dark, musty underworld, where the "grey water" slowly swallows through my clothes. After the 1990 miniseries, IT was the first feature film to be based on Stephen King's book of the same title. After the disappearance of the little boy Georgie, a group of children joins around his older brother to take action against the creepy clown Pennywise and experience all sorts of bizarre things. By the way, is anyone else wondering besides me if "IT" is the big brother of the queen of hearts from "Alice in Wonderland"? The resemblance is amazing. Both also seem to have great joy in "removing heads".
# Number 3
Let's face it, "There's nothing better than children laughing in the house! ... except you have no children and can't see any, then it's just creepy!" In this case the house is a hotel and the creepy children are twin sisters who would like to play with little Danny... "always and always and always". In the horror movie "The Shining" from 1980, based on Stephen King's book of the same name, the hotel itself appears as a place of evil and influences the three-person family more and more. In complete isolation and disconnected from the outside world, ghosts haunt the family father until he tries to kill his wife and son Danny. All that remains is the question "What about room 237?
# Number 4
"Cole Sear, nine years old, divorced parents, acute anxiety, socially isolated, suspected of emotional disorder."
But not? Does the 9-year-old Cole in "the 6th sense" suffer from supernatural abilities? He slowly opens up to the psychologist Dr. Malcom Crowe and confides his secret to him: "I see dead people". OK, so it's no wonder that the poor boy is called "psycho" by other children. The ghosts appear since they need his help, which is at most overwhelming for the boy.
"I see dead people, they cannot see each other. They only see what they want. They do not know that they are dead. This sentence makes sense especially after the surprising end of the movie.
# Number 5
The Count... lives in a huge castle and practically doesn't age at all. Well, who wants to get to know our transsilvanian bachelor closer? Probably it really would be a love for eternity, because I am talking about none other than Count Dracula. The 1931 film "Dracula" offers a full programme of vampires, bats, a creepy and secluded castle and the frightened villagers.
# Number 6
From the transsilvanian wasteland we enter a motel off the highway, where the strange neighbour greets us with the words "a man's best friend is his mother" - seriously? Alone for this, the movie title "Psycho" fits like a glove! At first, you think the mother of this neighbor is the crazy one, but during the course of the movie it becomes clear that Norman himself suffers from a serious schizophrenia and all cruelties are his fault.
# Number 7
Blackbird, thrush, finch and sparrow and the entire group of birds have set their sights on humanity in "The Birds" by Alfred Hitchcock. In fact, the film is based on a real story that took place in Pleasure Point, a coastal town in northern California, in 1961. The seabirds had lost their orientation in the nightly fog. In their panic, the animals flew against windows and hurt local residents who were too close to them. The "Santa Cruz Sentinel" published an article with the comment that a Briton wanted to inform himself about the attack in the editorial office: Alfred Hitchcock.
# Number 8
Finally, I'd like to play a game. The horror thriller with splatter elements "Saw" and its numerous parts is about the murderous game of the Jigsaw Killer. He wants to make his victims understand life in a very special way. He knocks them out, kidnaps them and waits for them to regain consciousness in mechanical traps. He never kills himself and always leaves his victims the choice between life and death. However, living on has a price, which usually means torturing or mutilating oneself or a counterpart.
This was our little excursion into the world of horror film classics, from new to old, from psycho to splatter. We hope we could warm your heart for some classics and use them for your costume inspiration. Just check out Mask Paradise and get your outfit for Halloween.
