Watch Horror Instead of the Superbowl - Volume 1!!!

Anyone who knows me knows I hate sports. I hate football. I hate basketball, and I especially hate baseball. In fact, I don't enjoy exercising, skiing, snowboarding, walking up and down the stairs, waking up, dancing, playing Bingo, or swimming. I do, however, enjoy the water and long walks on the beach. I don't want to hold your sweaty hand, however. 

 

Anyway, that being said, you can watch a whole bunch of horror movies for free online instead of watching the Superbowl. You can still eat nachos and dip and drink beer. However, you don't have to be like the rest of "Merica if you do not enjoy sports. For instance, I may enjoy taxidermy and you may not, potato, potatoe, tomato, tomatoe...to each his own.

1.  Shutter (2004) -  A newly married couple discovers disturbing, ghostly images in photographs they develop after a tragic accident. Fearing the manifestations may be connected, they investigate and learn that some mysteries are better left unsolved.

 2.  Blood and Donuts (1995) - a Canadian horror comedy features a vampire who is woken up by mistake after 25 years of sleep.  He starts to gently acclimate himself to the modern world.  However, there are issues like a jealous ex in the way of his new-found obsession, a local waitress who works at a donut shop that's open 24 hours a day.  You can watch it on YouTube, just open this playlist and it will play cohesively! 

3.  The Marsh (2006) - When a popular children's author begins to have nightmares and visions, she seeks advice from a psychologist. In the psychologist's opinion,  she is stressed and needs to go somewhere remote to unwind and get herself together.
She realizes the Marsh Farm might be linked to her nightmares. She decides that since her psychologist suggested a vacation, she would vacation there at the Marsh farm.

I blogged about this one a long time ago, but I haven't heard anybody discuss it since.  I really liked it.  It was unique and pretty edge of your seat what the hell is going on. 

Free Horror Movies to Watch Instead of The Superbowl

Since I have zero interest in the Super Bowl, I will blog horror this evening, ok, well, its almost midnight, so its evening to me. 

Don't Look in The Basement - Highly Recommended!

 One of the first of several horror films with "Don't" leading the title, this gory low-budget thriller takes place in an experimental hospital for the criminally insane, where the pioneering director allows several patients to act out their twisted fantasies (which involve necrophilia, paranoia and popsicles). When a new staffer shows up, things start to go haywire -- beginning with the bloody axe-murder of the doctor himself and leading to a total takeover of the asylum by its most dangerous inmates. The acting is horrendous, the sound is incoherent and the color is so cheap-looking that some theaters were issued black-and-white prints... but somehow the intrinsic sleaziness generated by the threadbare production manages to lend it a remarkably suitable ambience. Instead of vanishing into obscurity, this quirky little potboiler became a staple on the early-70's drive-in circuit, thanks to Hallmark Films' frequent double-bill bookings with Wes Craven's Last House on the Left (even borrowing the logline "Keep telling yourself: It's only a movie...") and Mario Bava's Bay of Blood. Some video versions are missing most of the graphic violence from the original cut.

The Marsh - This was good!

Haunted by gruesome visions of violence and death that would be far out of place in her successful series of children's books, a sophisticated author embarks on a brief sabbatical into the countryside that turns out to be far from the convalescent getaway her doctor had prescribed. Claire Holloway (Gabrielle Anwar) is an author whose rich imagination has fueled a successful career in children's literature, but one glimpse beneath the surface of her fragile psyche reveals a woman whose life has been far from storybook perfect. Tortured by a darkness that seems to grow blacker with each passing day, Claire follows her doctor's advice to leave the city behind and collect her thoughts at the picturesque Rose Marsh Farmhouse. Upon arriving at the remote farmhouse, however, Claire quickly realizes that the formidable estate bears an uncanny resemblance to the house that plagues her nightmares. When a series of strange and seemingly supernatural events lead Claire to believe that the ghostly young girl who dwells in her dreams may in fact be real, the frightened author seeks out the aid of handsome newspaper publisher Noah (Justin Louis) and paranormal consultant hunt (Forest Whitaker) in solving the mystery of this cursed village
