Birthday Horror Movie Night


 

The Titanic hit the iceberg on the same day as my birthday. Lincoln was shot on my birthday. Adrien Brody was born. Clearly my birthday and horror have always gone hand in hand.

High-rise movies are hot right now. There was Tower Heist, Attack the Block and the buzzy The Raid: Redemption:



Well, Demons 2 was doing that in 1986 while the top films of that year were wasting their time on an aircraft carrier, the Australian Outback and Vietnam. Remember the movie Operation Dingo Drop?

D2 is directed by the same guy who did the original, Lamberto Bava. That's why there's so much continuity. And it's still written by horror legend Dario Argento but now it also stars his 11-year-old daughter Asia Argento pre-naked-in-everything. One hopes. This movie is Italian.

Child's Play is on the short list of Movies I've Seen With My Mom. If I wanted to make that a BMN theme  we're left with Jurassic Park and The Crying Game. Child's Play is our second Tom Holland movie after Fright Night, our second Brad Dourif movie after Blue Velvet and our second killer doll movie after Black Devil Doll From Hell. Unless the doll in Ghosthouse killed anyone.


This picture I found seems to think so.


Here's what happened last week:
