THE MONSTROUS QUESTION OF THE MONTH – JULY 2010

Excluding JAWS, what is your pick for the ultimate summer horror movie?

***

RESPONSE # 4 – L.L. SOARES:

One movie that reminds me a lot of the summer is Wes Craven’s original THE HILLS HAVE EYES (1977). Not only is it about a family on vacation (presumably during the summer), but it takes place in the middle of a hot desert , where another family – this one made up of deranged cannibals who have been able to hide from civilization at large, while grabbing victims when they can – awaits.

Another reason is because I first saw it on a hot summer night at a drive-in theater, sitting on lawn chairs with some friends on the bed of a pick-up truck.

So the movie just says “summer” for me.

But I have to admit, JAWS remains the big daddy of summertime movies.
