Lists of Doom Xxviii: Ari of Destrophy

19 October 2009 7:18 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

Greetings Fango Fiends! It's time once again for another installment of Fangoria Musick's Lists Of Doom - the column where we track down some of your favorite (or soon-to-be favorite) bands to get their thoughts on on the world of horror, and which films scare them.

For our 28th installment we caught up with Ari - vocalist/guitarist of Des Moines' Destrophy. One of the Midwest's hardest-working bands, Destrophy's self-titled album (and first for Victory Records) will hit retail on October 26th. So what scares Ari? Great White Sharks? Satanic Children? Nuclear Man?

Find out below!

1. An American Werewolf In London (1981), Director: John Landis.

Definitely my favorite werewolf incarnation- more like bear-wolf!  Actually the Nazi ghouls might have scared me more than anything.

2. The Exorcist III (1990), Director: William Peter Blatty.

The scene in the hospital.  A full minute of silence.  Best scare ever.

3. Alien (1979), Director: Ridley Scott.

Lists of Doom Xxv: Evil J of Otep

16 September 2009 12:28 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

It's been only six months since we launched Lists Of Doom here at Fangoria Musick, and here we are with the 25th installment!

For the quarter-mark, we've got Jason McGuire, better known to metal fans as "Evil J", bassist/backing vocalist for one of my favorite bands, Otep. Currently touring in support of their recently-released album Smash The Control Machine, J took time out to share the details on his ten favorite fright films. J said it was hard to choose just ten, but we were able to get it narrowed down.

Here's Evil J's List Of Doom...

1. Creepshow (1982) Dir. George A. Romero

A childhood favorite. I've watched this movie every year on my birthday since I was 10.  It is the greatest collection of short horror stories ever.   It made me hate cockroaches and I never wanted to look under the stairs, but it is all good, because it’s Father’s Day, »

Holy Terror!: 11 Creepy Catholic Horror Films

14 March 2009 6:25 AM, PDT | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »

Holy Terror: The Catholic Church in Modern Horror Cinema

The Roman Catholic Church has been an inspiration for the macabre and terrifying for, well, centuries. Most recently there was a revival in interest in the religious, supernatural horror film in the early to mid 2000's in a cycle that ran from Stigmata to The Exorcism of Emily Rose.

Horror rose to prominence and box office success in the 1970's with a long running series of films peppered with deeply religious themes. The church was under scrutiny in The Omen. a willing participant in the phenomenon that was The Exorcist. Beyond the obvious possession, Antichrist, and exorcism themed ripoffs there was the unique and internationally successful Blind Dead series with this undead crusading Templar Knights. The sleazy child murders of Fulci's Don't Torture A Ducking and the American giallo Alice, Sweet, Alice both featured heavy Catholic overtones. Further back we »

Before the Oscars, They Belonged to Us, Part 2

25 February 2009 2:52 AM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

Disclaimer: This article may contain sarcasm; irony and “LOLs” proceed with caution.

Our second stab at the Oscars contains make-up effects and score (read part 1 here). The make-up effects, followed by the visual effects and technical awards, remain my favorite parts of the show; here you got to see your heroes: Rick Baker, Howard Berger, Chris Walas or Rob Bottin in the audience. Even the great Stan Winston could have been out there, back in the day. Though best known for his “visual effects” wins—he brought home an Oscar for best make-up in 1991 for Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

Here genre fans can rejoice, Greg Cannom brought home the gold, again, for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Cannom, a genre elder, worked alongside (just to name a few) Fincher, Coppola, Landis, Dante, Blatty, and Cohen creating all sorts of character and creature make-ups.
