This movie isn’t out until October and it already has an 8.2 out of 10 on IMDb, based on the trailer alone. ‘It’ll be fun’ they saidīut this movie is not out yet Sommer!!! So what? It’s MY LIST! FIGHT ME! #2 The Lighthouse ‘Come work at a lighthouse’ they said. She’s the unsung hero of this movie and even holds her own when the ghosts decides to attack the lighthouse because everyone knows Snitches get Stiches Stevie! It is there that radio DJ Stevie Wayne, played by another Queen of Horror, Adrienne Barbeau, chooses to stay during the cursed night so she can warn the townsfolk and tell them where the fog (and it’s ghostly inhabitants) are heading next. The Fog, like Darkness Falls, doesn’t take place entirely in a lighthouse, but the location does play a pivotal role in the movie. What starts out as a movie about a young man in 1914 who’s sent to a lighthouse to relieve the previous weather observer, quickly takes a turn into the realm of nightmares, when the lighthouse is attacked on a nightly basis by creatures who make the zombies in The Walki ng Dead, seem like drunk party-goers who annoyingly hangout in the streets when they should get their asses home. I’m sure a lot of folks missed out on this one and, if you haven’t seen it, it’s definitely worth a look, especially if like myself you watch it without having known anything about it going in. #4 Cold Skin And this is what the boy’s part looks like… I also appreciated there was no cheap set up for a sequel as this movie wraps up nicely and as a horror movie fan, that’s always a win to me. While I’m sure the CG effects haven’t held up well (they rarely do), the acting is fairly decent and the pacing, story and fun kills all culminate in a battle for survival that ends in a lighthouse because this vengeful spirit doesn’t appreciate being put in the spotlight. Is it just me, or is this movie an underrated gem? Granted, I haven’t watched it for some time, but I remember really enjoying this twisted take on the Tooth Fairy mythos. #5 Darkness Falls So I heard somebody had their first tooth out! So without further achoo…adu?…you know what I’m trying to say! With a mild SPOILER ALERT here are my TOP 5 FAVORITE LIGHTHOUSE-THEMED MOVIES. When you think of iconic horror movie locations your mind probably conjures up a cabin in the woods, a haunted house, or an old asylum, just to name a few, but lighthouses can actually make for an excellent locale as well, when you realise how isolated and entirely creepy they are. And this is pretty fitting considering my inspiration for this week’s horror list came while I was watching the trailer for what looks to be another horror movie for the ages, The Lighthouse, starring Robert “I’m Batman” Pattinson and Willem “I was The Green Goblin” Dafoe. Inspiration can come from anywhere and, as we know, the universal symbol for it is the light bulb.
