Hey Slasher Sisters!

While our first film of December is not Christmas themed, I did want to include it as it’s a film I’ve wanted to watch since it debuted – "We’re All Going to the World’s Fair." This film was incredibly unique and artistic with some frights throughout. However, as unique as the film was, it was equal parts confusing. This film left me with a lot of questions and concerns, primarily how a broad horror audience might see this film. "We’re All Going to the World’s Fair" focuses on a very niche sub-community of horror enthusiasts on the internet, making it potentially difficult to watch for those who are not within these communities. So, is the "World’s Fair" too niche and specific for a general horror audience to connect with? Read below to find out 👻

Movie Review Master List

Hey Slasher Sisters!

As promised, here's the master list of every movie review I've done w/links. The reviews are placed in newest to oldest order and will be updated weekly.

If you're new here, hello, my name is Rachel. I've been obsessed with the horror genre as long as I can remember and feel very passionate about it surrounding my entire life. My blog focuses on a wide range of subgenres within the horror genre including, but not limited to, cult classics, modern horror, disturbing cinema, B-movies, and experimental horror. Really, Blog of 1,000 Corpses is just my love project and source of motivation to become even more widely versed within my favorite genre. I hope to cultivate an audience that's as obsessed with violence, gore, and psychos as myself.

My scoring is a Tier system with S Tier being the highest possible score and F Tier being the lowest. The earliest reviews are based on a 5 star system. Master List Below Cut

Happy Friday Ghouls and Ghosts!

Today we're getting into another obscure film from the Disturbing Movie Iceberg -- Where the Dead Go to Die (2012, dir. Jimmy ScreamerClauz). "The film’s narrative is split into three chapters: “Tainted Milk”, “Liquid Memories”, and “The Masks That Monsters Wear”. In each of these is a demon dog named Labby (a play on Lassie) who plays as “God’s messenger” and convinces the children (particularly the boys Tommy and Ralph) to commit horrendous acts of sex and violence. . . The adults present for the children are the same forces the children are attempting to escape from which pushes them to listen to Labby’s advice even further. This leaves the main characters Tommy, Sophia, and Ralph stuck between a rock and a hard place throughout the film’s entirety as on one hand they can choose to stay in physical and sexual abuse situations or on the other they can be controlled by a malevolent force to be a part of much worse things. It’s a plot very wrapped up in exploring a lose-lose scenario." This film was a wild ride from start to finish, however I'm very glad to have watched and written about it. I hope y'all enjoy! I'll see you early next week with a review on a newer piece, 'Terrifier 2'. Have a happy weekend!

Happy Friday everyone!

This Friday's review is on a bizaare coming of age story -- Ginger Snaps (2000). "Ginger Snaps (2000, dir. John Fawcett) opens with a pair of sisters only a year apart in age Ginger and Brigitte (or Bee) Fitzgerald (played by Katharine Isabelle and Emily Perkins) and their sinister outlook on the world around them...It doesn’t take long to figure out that the Fitzgerald sisters are social outcasts at their school and keep to themselves; Bee skipping a grade to stay by her sister’s side at all times. On the night of her first period, Ginger gets savagely attacked by a creature in the forest. However, by the time Bee gets her sister home the wounds have already started to heal over. Bee carefully begins to monitor Ginger’s behaviors, seeing a dramatic increase in sexual and aggressive tendencies. While everyone else believes it’s just Ginger’s new hormonal cycle at play, a local drug dealer and botanist named Sam (played by Kris Lemche) believes Bee’s werewolf story and assists her in finding a cure for the curse."

I hope you guys enjoy this one as much as I did, thanks for checking it out! Have a great weekend!
