Witchcraft, Urban Legends and...Ghost Face?? By: Sasha Slaughter

Ohh well hi there super freaks! Thanks for stopping by and checking me out...oops, I mean us. =) And by the way, I see you weirdos searching for "Sasha Slaughter Naked". Dream on creepers! There's only one guy that gets that privilege...haha!! But hey, since you're here, you might as well stick around and see what's going on! This week Zane and I will be doing 90's horror week. Yay!! We've done 70's and 80's, so why not do some 90's stuff too, yes? And besides, the 90's era horror movies are more my thing, for the most part. And so today, in lieu of 90's horror week, I will be giving you a list of my five favorite 90's horror movies. They may not be the best that the 90's had to offer, but they are the ones I remember watching. So let's get down to business!!
CandyMan- Clive Barker-1992- College grad Helen Lyle (played by Virgina Maden) mistakenly summons the spirit of Candyman (played by Tony Todd) while researching local urban legends. Candyman was the son of a slave and well known artist who had fallen in love with a white woman. When she became pregnant, he was chased down and had his drawing hand cut off and replaced with a hook, and then he covered in honey and stung to death by bees. After jokingly calling Candyman's name in her bathroom mirror, which is said to summon him, Candyman shows himself and will stop at nothing until Helen meets her demise.
 
The Craft-Andrew Fleming-1996- Robin Tunney, Fairuza Balk, and Neve Campbell star in this cult classic. Sarah Bailey, a troubled teen with suicidal tendencies and a troubled past, moves to LA with her father and step mother to start a new life. Sarah is enrolled into Catholic school where she meets Bonnie, Rochelle, and Nancy, also troubled teens with problems of their own. Sarah soon realizes that the girls dabble in witchcraft, and when they notice that Sarah has the natural abilities of a witch, they convince her to join their coven. They soon notice that with a fourth witch in their coven, they can cast spells that they couldn't before, and begin to fix everything that's wrong in their lives- but like everything else in life- things often come with a price.

Scream-Wes Craven-1996-
A killer known only as "Ghost face" begins murdering local teenagers, and as the body count rises, Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) and her friends begin to contemplate the "rules" of horror films as they begin to find themselves living in a real-life one. The film also stars David Arquette and Courtney Cox.
 
The Blair Witch Project-Daniel Myrick, Eduardo Sanchez-1999- This "found footage" film follows student filmmakers Heather, Josh, and Michael as they march into the woods near Burkittsville, MD., to make a documentary about the legendary Blair Witch, who has been credited with a string heinous murders dating back over 200 years. The trio soon loses their way and finds themselves surrounded by a malicious terror.
 
House on Haunted Hill- William Malone-1999- When Eddie, Sarah, Melissa, Donald, and Watson accept tycoon millionaire Stephen Price's $1 million dollar proposal to stay one night in a former insane asylum, they think it's just child's play until Price's rigged antics are accompanied by real menacing spirits. Can everyone make it until dawn to collect the prize money? Or will the spirits of the house do everything in their power to make sure no one makes it out alive?

There you have it, some of my faves from the 90's. And since you're creeping on my stuff, how about you creep on some of Zane's stuff too??? He likes it freaky! Thanks for stopping by Dead End Horror.
