If there’s anybody we belief to have good style in horror movies, it is the straitjacket-sporting son of a preacherman who litters levels worldwide with copious quantities of fake blood, snakes, zombies and torture and execution contraptions. Sure, we’re speaking about The Godfather of Shock Rock, Alice Cooper, who all through his profession, has made horror a key component of his performances and persona.
Again in 2011, in dialog with NME, the shock rocker proved that his curiosity within the macabre extends into cinema, and named his high 5 favorite horror movies.
“Are you prepared? Are you certain?” he warns, earlier than kicking off together with his first alternative of Stephen King’s 1979 movie adaptation of Salem’s Lot, which he describes as “one of many nice vampire motion pictures”.
He continues, “I do not assume they realised how good this film was till after they made it. Barlow was the good, perhaps the scariest vampire of all time…If you have not seen Salem’s Lot, do not write it off as a TV film, it is one of many actually really scary motion pictures.”
For his subsequent decide, the musician choses 1977’s Suspiria, directed by Dario Argento. Talking of the movie, he says, “it is a film about a bit of lady in a ballet studio in Italy, and it’s simply pure creep. It is simply creepy.”
He provides: “You by no means do see a monster, and that is what makes it creepy. The actually good horror motion pictures are the one’s the place you do not see the monster.”
Subsequent up, Cooper names 1963’s The Haunting Of Hill Home, in any other case generally known as simply The Haunting. “It was made within the early 60’s, Claire Bloom, Julia Harris; one other film the place you do not see the monster. However, the best way it is shot in simply black and white, it’s completely terrifying.”
The singer then goes on to say that he was upset by the 1999 remake of the movie starring his good buddy Catherine Zeta-Jones, as they confirmed the monster, which “killed all of the scariness”.
For his remaining two selections, he shares love for 1981’s The Evil Lifeless, which he describes as “pure enjoyable” and 1962’s psychological horror Carnival Of Souls. “For some motive the black and white motion pictures had been simply grittier” he notes.
