vintage

Special effects may be lacking, but vintage horror films still manage to keep our palms sweating and blood pumping; a look back at retro horror films, stories, books and characters that prove everything is scarier in black and white.

Writing from the 1800's
This is a weird dream that I had many years ago. Still can not make sense of it. I believe that sometimes they are just a made-up story in your head, your dreams. Not all of them should make sense.

And His Shroud Became a Road...
There is an ancient Transylvanian legend [1] of an old, abandoned house, overlooking a cemetery. Each evening, a woman dressed in the black habit of a nun goes to a little white cross, and bending, raises her fists to heaven, sobbing uncontrollably. Her sobs, though, are not sobs borne of sadness; they are curses.

Blood Diner
Some sage comic of the stand-up variety once observed that, if you slightly rearranged the letters in the title of the execrable Dustin Hoffman and Warren Beatty film Ishtar, you got the word "Shitar". Which sounds just as bad. I suppose you could pronounce it exactly as it is spelled, and it would sound like the word "shitter." Which is an apt enough description of where that particular movie belongs.

From # to #
It's crazy to think, even more to say it out loud, but the matter of fact is: there is a war happening. I'm not into politics or economics, I am a visual communicator - according to my bachelor degree - and an artist - according to myself-. Maybe this is the reason why my biggest question around the historical events that is surrounding us in this precise moment have to do with communication, or at least derive from the ways we comunicate nowadays.

The Scar
Around a cozy fireplace, sat an old man and his two grandchildren. The old man held their interest by telling scary ghost stories and spooky tales, while the children smiled and listened. Their imaginations were ignited and while finishing another tale, suddenly he was interrupted.

BARKEEP
I stepped into the hushed establishment. Burnished and scarred wooden floors and walls, a bar lit only by a few scattered neon beer signs and a tiny TV on mute. No tunes from the jukebox. It was quiet. Smelled like dust with a side of spilled beer and Lysol. But it was just what I needed, a respite from the torrid sun. A place where I could sit at the bar, uninterrupted in my reflection.

A Step Toward the Light
“Daniel, have you knocked snow off the tents yet?” Aunt Kristie was busying herself in the kitchen. Making desserts was a popular pastime of hers, and everyone at tomorrow night’s church gathering would be expecting them. She could have looked out the arctic entry window to see the tents herself, but I knew better than to suggest she walk away from her mixing bowls.

Onibaba Monogatari (A tale of Demon Hag)
We hurried along the riverbank like fearful rodents. The night was lit brightly by the light of a full moon. We dashed from one patch of shadow to the next, hoping that the river’s rustling current would muffle the sound of our footsteps.

Must-See Horror Films Part 4
Note: Starting with the 1980s, the number of horror movies started to really grow. There were more studios, direct-to-video became a thing, and so you'll see a lot more films on this list than in the previous decades. As a result, I may keep descriptions down and may not include photos for all of them, particularly sequels.
