The Writers of horror stories share a common trait, they all have very unique creative minds and have the guts and the balls to share their horrific masterpieces with the rest of us. As a result, we have had the pleasure to read some of the most mind boggling mysteries and some of the most gruesome, gore-filled stories in the genre and last but not least, we have had the chance to taste some of the darkest horror parodies ever as they all brilliantly stand very captivating by us, the horror fanatics. Without writers who dared to put their nightmares and pour their wretched souls out on paper for us, we would have not had a raison d'etre, since all we want is a good scare! The following are great examples of horror writers who got us addicted to the term horror
Stephen King is one of those writers that you cannot believe is still alive because of so many master pieces that he wrote to become so popular and so well received by the general audience. He has the power to play with your mind from start to finish with a story. He is the William Shakespeare of our time and of the horror genre. Praise the King!
Anne Rice (Interview with the Vampire, Queen of the damned, etc…)
Born: Howard Allen O'brien
When: October 4, 1941
Where: New Orleans, Louisiana
Genre: Horror, Erotica, Mystery, Religion
Anne Rice is very well rounded with vampire stories; she knows this sub-genre inside and out. By which she brought us: "Interview with the Vampire, Queen of the Damned" and so many other vampire stories. She described the vampires in her books in such a realistic way that you would believe them to be true. Or are they? Only Anne Rice can answer this question for you. She is one of the very best in Vampire stories.
Eli Roth (Hostel, Hostel part II, Cabin Fever etc…)
Born: Eli Raphael Roth
When: April 18, 1972
Where: Newton, Massachussets
Genre: Horror, Gore
Eli Roth is now the newest sensation in horror…we saw his early works such as Cabin Fever and thought to ourselves: "Gee, this could really happen" and with that followed the Hostel installments. He has proved to us that he could be the next big thing in horror movies if you are looking for the gore, the bloodshed, the grotesquely scary, he got it all.
Who is your favorite writer in the horror genre?
He brought us Midnight Meat Train and Hellraiser!
The horror fans are spreading their horror, spread yours!
Why: The Thing is always going to remain one of the greatest Alien movies ever because the storyline is both plausible and unimaginable. The Prequel to this Claustrophobic and Paranoiac tale of a shapeshifting alien that overpowered a Norwegian Research team by assimilating them is likely to be both highly anticipated and mostly watched - wrong. But I loved the storyline, I loved how it ended to merge with the beginning of the former movie, I loved the special effects, I also loved the actors I thought they did a very good job overall. This Prequel will make you feel that it was necessary to The Thing franchise as it explains the Alaskan Malamute being chased after and shot at by a rifleman from a Norwegian helicopter.
Actors: Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Joel Edgerton, Ulrich Thomsen, Eric Christian Olsen
WTF Scene: Where Elsa played by Sarah Polley and Dren played by the gorgeous Delphine Chaneac are in the woods, Dren tackles Elsa to the ground, Elsa screams trying to understand Dren's motives for attacking her, and He-she tells her that it wants to be inside her, at that point I am not just taken aback, I cannot believe that she seduces and does the dirty with Clive played by Adrian Brody supposedly her father figure and now Male-Dren wants Elsa (her mother figure), can you say, incestuous menagerie to the max? Shockingly her tail was not only a sharp tool used to kill innocent animal and people alike but also a make-shift penis forced on Elsa as Male-Dren rapes Elsa for over three minutes with her multi-purpose tail.
Actor: Adrian Brody, Delphine Chaneac, Sarah Polley
Director: Vicenzo Natali
Famous Quote: "If you could understand Crazy, it wouldn't be CRAZY"
Bottom Line: In Splice there were a lot of WTF moments but this rape scene was unlike any other as I was both violently traumatized and brain-raped by that part.
