Friday, October 31, 2008Horror Movie Brides
 I've never been much of a horror movie fan (yes, I'm a total chicken) and usually end up peering out from between my splayed fingers or examining the ceiling during the scary parts. But, today is Halloween, so we're celebrating horror movie brides! I wracked my brain. The first one was easy, because of course, there's the Bride of Frankenstein. Or…on the funny bride of Frankenstein front, Madeline Kahn's portrayal in Young Frankenstein. What fun!  And then there's Tim Burton's Corpse Bride.  That was the extent of my knowledge (I'm betting some of you could have thought of others), but when I went looking I also found: Bride of Chucky The Brides of Dracula Bride of the Gorilla (I kid you not)  And of course, there's The Bride, a remake of Bride of Frankenstein, starring Sting. I loved the old film posters from some of these. Some even had multiple posters and foreign posters. A few were rather racy, considering that they were made in another era. I confess that I like the old ones best, probably because they're not too scary. When I watch these with my husband, who loves horror flicks, we can laugh at them and play along, pretend we're frightened and admire the filmmaker's ingenuity with the limited special effects that were available at the time.  So, how many of the movies listed here have you seen? Any other bride horror movies you can think of? I'm sure there are others. Probably even some obvious ones that I didn't think of. Happy Halloween, everyone! Labels: brides
