Hello and welcome to the first ever Valentine’s edition of THE DEVIL INSIDE.

I know some people get all fussy about V.D. (Ha!) so Chad Cherry and I put together our top picks for the holiday. So whether you’re snuggling up to that “someone special” or just flying solo, these movies should put you in the mood for love!
** psst … And, don’t forget, my sexy, new site, Goddess of Gore: Nos, is officially launching on Valentine’s Day!**

 

 

Nos’ Picks

Nekromantik 2

So last year on my SCARS blog I mentioned NEKROMANTIK as one of my favorite Valentine’s Day films. I’m still holding  to my tradition of watching it this Sunday – however it’s sequel is pretty damn amazing too! After Rob’s tragic end in the first film, a young nurse digs up his corpse  and has her way with him. Her boyfriend is a little (understandably) freaked out by this and the couple must learn to compromise….

The end is utterly gut wrenching and wicked hot.

May

Poor little has been an outcast since childhood… her only friend being a doll named Suzy. Just when things start looking up in her adult life, she fears her doll Suzy has become jealous.  May’s world starts to unravel as she desperately searches  for a true friend and ultimately decides to make one of her own! It’s a pretty fucked up little story about self love … which is the type of love you should really be focused on this V.Day.

Metropolis

There’s nothing I could really say that would do this movie justice. It’s simply one of the most beautiful things ever captured on film. True it’s a little more SiFi than horror but I think horror fans can appreciate it just the same! For those who haven’t had the pleasure of watching; Metropolis was made in 1927 and depicts the year 2026 in a breath taking neo Gothic landscape …made ENTIRELY from real miniatures. (No gross C.G.I. here!) It’s a classic tale of the “haves” and the “have nots” with a beautiful love story woven in.

Dracula

There are many fine editions of the Dracula tale… but in honor of love day I’m gonna have to go with 1992 Coppola version! True Keanu Reeves kinda stinks it up a bit but the presence of Tom Waits more than makes up for it! And then you have Gary Oldman in one of his finest performances … he truly makes a gorgeous Count. This version also has some excellent gore, something I feel the other Dracula films tend to lack.

Chad’s Picks
HELLO HELLO LOVERS!!!!
What better way to say “BE MINE” on St. Valentines Day then with Chad Cherry’s take on this fantastic day specifically made for lovers. And for this hallmark holiday filled with hugs and kisses, chocolates, candy hearts, shiny gifts, cute shaped cards and the whispers of sweet nothings in to your main squeezes ear, I bring you some of the most romantic couples in the history of love.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre

First off we have the ever so handsome Leatherface and his one and only. I could’ve never imagined how long this relationship has lasted. To me it’s beyond love. They have something that most couples only wish they could have.

Friday the 13th

This stunning couple has had there ups and downs, but all in all they will always come back to each other no matter how many other sharp jagged objects of temptation get in his way. They will always know that they are made for each other.

Halloween

This is a true blue romance that just keeps blossoming as the years roll on. You hardly ever see them apart…. They are so good for each other.

House of 1000 Corpses

Otis and 45.magnums sittin’ in a tree……. Fuck it, you know the rest. “SHUT YER FUCKIN’ MOUTH”!!!!

Reanimator

A match we all know that was made in heaven. A man and his green shit that brings dead things back to life.

Sleepwalkers

A boy and his mother. She might be lil’ stern at times but it just enhances the passion in the bedroom. Keep it in the family, incest is best. That’s just sexy……… Right?……

Otis

To truly show you love somebody……. Keep them locked up in the basement.

Maniac

I always thought Frank could do better, but he finds something in her that completes him. Anyway who am I to judge his commitment.

Nosferatu

Nosferatu + Type 0 negative

Frankenstein / Bride of Frankenstein

It still surprises me that they can somehow stay out of the tabloids.

 

What better way to say “I love you” then though cinematic blood shed. Enjoy the inspiration of these couples that really know the meaning of love. And hopefully on V-day you can get a chance to have sex with somebody besides yourself…. Cuz that’s what its really all about.

“I’M YOURS”,
Chad Cherry…. Expert on love.

Halloween is almost a week away and I’m sure many of you share the same love for this holiday as I do.  If you ask me, it’s the perfect holiday. Sure I love the little perks like buying a new bat covered table cloth or having the best excuse to buy a costume! But, the BEST part about Halloween is that it’s a day just for you. You don’t have to go to someone’s house and eat an awkward dinner or spend money on other people. You’re supposed to dress up and indulge in yourself! It’s also a time that my favorite film genre really shines. Well, at least it used to be anyway….

This fall Hollywood seems to have “dropped the ball” once again.  Instead of opening highly anticipated  movies like  TRICK R TREAT,  NIGHT OF THE DEMONS and NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET around Halloween, they’ve bumped those projects straight to DVD or opted for an April release, ’cause who wants to see scary movies around Halloween?

Some critics are saying that the reason NIGHT OF THE DEMONS got pushed to April is that it’s a terrible film and would do poorly. Now I’ll have to admit that as a HUGE fan of the original, the remake looks pretty silly from the trailers. However, the producer in me is screaming, “Halloween is the ONLY time this film would make money!”

And you know what’s gonna happen…. April will roll around and the movie will flop. Perfect. Everyone who was involved in the film and was counting on it to show some type of success will be back to the drawing board.

It’s hard to imagine that after decades of turning a profit, studios still doubt horror films. They seem to have this perception that horror is all campy and outdated, that nobody really wants to pay to see these films.

Fucking stupid.

I doubt it’s gonna change anytime soon. All we can do as fans is continue to prove the naysayers wrong.  We have to support the filmmakers and actors we love … no matter what time of year or what format their films come out in.  Someday studios will tire of/be unable to sink millions of dollars into stupid Sandra Bullock movies and horror directors won’t have to scrap for every penny. Someday.

Enjoy Halloween Lippy fans! Rent your favorite scary movie this week!
