KITTIE Drummer Discusses Horror Movies

June 15, 2007

KITTIE drummer Mercedes Lander has posted a guest blog at Headbanger's Blog about her lifelong interest in horror movies. An excerpt follows:

"Ever since I was a young girl I have been fascinated with '70s and '80s horror films. I remember begging my mother to rent 'The Corpse Grinders' by Ted V. Mikles when I was around five years old. It took about six months to wear her down, but I finally got to see it. The thought of people being turned into cat food and deranged human hungry cats 'in blood-curdling color' really caught my interest. This began my love for the macabre and all things gore.

"Before I go into a comparison of old vs. new, here's a little background on horror movies. First there's the classic 'staple' horror movies like the 'Friday the 13th' series, the 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' series, the 'Halloween' series (with the exception of number three which was a complete waste of film),and the 'Evil Dead' trilogy. Most people have seen these movies at least once. But digging a little deeper reveals the Italian zombie and horror movies by Lucio Fulci, Andrea Bianchi, and Dario Argento. Finally, we have the quintessential 'B' and 'C' horror movies, which are my favorite, like 'Dead Heat', 'Don't go into the Woods', 'Night of the Creeps', 'The Undertaker and his Pals', the 'Return of the Living Dead trilogy' (sorry guys, I don't count anything after three as being a real movie),and 'Slumber Party Massacre', just to name a few good ones. Mind you, there are lots more movies and sub genres in the horror section but I would be here all day listing them."
