2GuysTalkingHorror - TV & Movie Horror Review & Why You Love Them

 

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! No, I’m not talking about Christmas. I’m talking about Halloween. The month of October has turned into its own celebration for most of us horror lovers. As a matter of fact, I personally have a saying on my social media accounts… I don’t celebrate Halloween. I AM Halloween.

Speaking of social media accounts, we here at 2GuysTalkingHorror love interacting with our fans! This year, we’ve decided what better way to interact with horror lovers than pitting monsters against monsters in something we like to call our First Annual (because we’re going to do it again therefore it can be called annual) Halloween Horror King Or Queen Monster Battle Bracket for social media!

The phrase “Hollywood has run out of ideas” has been used a lot over the last few decades by movie fans. With studios cranking out lackluster sequels, prequels, re-imaginings, reboots and remakes, it’s no wonder cinema goers have become jaded. The most frustrating part of this is most fans would be fine with Hollywood remakes if Hollywood would remake films THAT NEEDED REMAKING! And no genre is more ripe for the remake harvest than horror movies!

Too often we, the horror fans, are subjected to releases that have no connecting tissue to its original, other than a name and a gimmick. Most remakes are blatant cash crabs, but sometimes (and believe me it’s a rarity) studios actually deliver a product worthy of its predecessor. Hell, some even surpass the original! Grab your score cards because it’s time for 2GuysTalkingHorror to count down the 7 Best Horror Remakes on this episode of Lethal Listings

Mixing genres isn’t as easy as one might think. Like Comedy and Drama…do you balance the two or will your story be heavier on one side or the other? Historical and Romance…my wife’s book collection only proves that it can be done. Western and Horror…now that’s an interesting combination. Sometimes we take for granted the modern day conveniences used for fighting monsters. But what about a hundred and fifty years ago? Gunslingers fighting Werewolves, Native American Braves battling blood sucking vampires, street smart Gamblers and Dance Hall Girls running for their lives from zombies? We’ll be exploring all of that and more during this instalment of Talk About Terrifying: Horrors Of The Weird West!

It’s a shame that the horror genre gets overlooked when it comes to receiving praise. Sure, now and then a film will come along and get attention, but because it’s more art piece than freak show, the actual horror aspects are ignored and replaced with the word “thriller” or “suspense.”

Bottom line is horror movies do not get the respect they deserve. That’s why we have taken on the responsibility of shining a light on the best of the best regarding the horror films of 2019. It’s time for the 2nd Annual 2GuysTalkingHorror Spookies – And The Nominees Are?

Horror and Science Fiction, when done right, can depict some bone chilling scenarios. Take the fears of a person, a community or even a species and add the words What If…well, that’s just the perfect recipe for pure terror.

A beloved subgenre of horror and sci-fi is the Outbreak/Viral/End Of The World story. And while here in reality it’s not the end times, it does feel like a truly grim tale that has changed the world as we know it. What’s the best defense on combating the growing fear of isolation? Sharing our experiences Surviving In A Covid-19 World with 2GuysTalkingHorror!

A film adaptation of a book, especially one that’s over a thousand pages, is hard to pull off. Fans of the source material want to see the story unfold like it did when they were reading the book, but most of the time what they end up with is just a watered down facsimile. There will always be a need for changes when transferring a story from one medium to another. But how many changes have to be made before the film goes from adaptation to reimagining? Those are some of the questions we’ll address as we return to the town of Derry, Main for this Cut The Crap Movie Review Of IT: Chapter 2!

Imagine, if you will, a world without the internet.  Where information on your favorite horror films and monsters was NOT right at your fingertips.  A time when seeing your favorite monster movies a second time proved more than difficult, it was nearly impossible.  Where would you go to get your fix for horror and monster news?  How would you survive?

Cue The Monster Kids of the 1950s.  Because of their insatiable appetite for all things horror related, their generation helped give birth to the MONSTER MAGAZINE…a one stop spot to get all the monster, horror and creature information you could “axe” for.  How did that inspire a subculture of horror film memorabilia collectors for generations to come?

Slap on your 3D glasses, Boys and Ghouls, as we chat with a first generation Monster Kid, travel back in time to discover the beginnings of the horror movie fan collector and learn the History of Monster Magazines on this episode of 2GuysTalkingHorror.

Behind the scenes, there are a few rules filmmakers have to follow to appease the studio execs and censors. Some are as silly as the number of curse words used by a main character, while others are as arbitrary as how much side boob is considered nudity. These rules are put in place to protect movie audiences, despite the genre, and the biggest rules on the list are no killing animals and no killing children.

In horror movies the sometimes senseless death of characters is to be expected. One of the high points for most horror fans is the comfort in knowing that there will be murder and mayhem during the film that they’re watching. That being said, the death of an animal or a child is still jarring, weather it happens on or off camera. What’s most important is if that death moved the story along or was just there for shock value?

During this episode of Lethal Listings, we’ll be leaving the lovable pets alone as we focus on children in the horror genre and firmly state The Kids Are NOT Alright: 7 Horror Films That Did The Unthinkable!

As children, after watching a horror film, our minds would race with the concept of “what if I was in the movie?” Closing ourselves off in our rooms to pretend we were playing hide and seek with a Gremlin. Racing back and forth across the yard, trying to our run a bunch of Critters. Or rounding up our friends to stage one final offence against a horde of zombies craving our brains. The only thing that could enhance our play time was if we had monster toys to join in on the fun!

Growing up, we are taught to put away childish things and focus on being adults. There’s no time for playing or using our imagination. It’s all about learning to work hard, pay our bills and taxes, raise a family and die. Right?

WRONG!

Thanks to modern technology and direct input from fans of all ages, horror toys are readily available from a number of great companies. We’re living in a golden age for collectors, but it wasn’t always this great!  Dust off your Madballs, take your My Pet Monster out of the closet and join in as we go Toying Around during this episode of 2GuysTalkingHorror.

The Academy Awards. Oscar. The oldest and most respected Entertainment Award ceremony out there. Often referred to as “The Super Bowl of the Movie Industry”.  Some of the greatest films ever made have been recognized by Hollywood’s highest honor across all types of genres: Drama, Comedy, War Films, Biopics, Musicals, Westerns and Historical epics to name a few.  But what about the genre of Horror?

Viewed as the “Black Sheep” during Award Season, Horror Films rarely get the recognition they so often deserve. Just because it has a bloody body count and people screaming for their lives doesn’t necessarily mean it’s filled with poor acting, sloppy writing and misguided direction! Join us as we take a trip through Oscar history, look at the few horror films that have been honored and talk about some of the iconic horror films that were snubbed throughout the years here on a very special Oscar episode of 2GuysTalkingHorror!
