7. Mel Mongeon (Fuck the Facts)

Favorite Horror Movie:
Inside (2007)

When did you first experience the movie?
It was about 3 years ago, so I was definitely an adult! We watched it after band practice, only our drummer wasn’t there. We all enjoyed it

What’s the scariest scene in the movie?
Near the end when the ’’crazy’’ lady performs a caesarian section and pulls the baby out of the mothers womb it is so intense. We were all really vocal at that moment at about how gross it was. I remember feeling a little sick to my stomach as well.

Are there any personal fears that resonate with you in this movie?
It is fictional but not surrealistic. I think that’s why it has more of an impact I was pregnant the year after and it didn’t give me nightmares. Nobody tried to steal anything straight from my womb so that’s a good thing.

Why is this better than any other horror movie out there?
It has the right balance of suspense, tasteful goriness with a nice touch of drama. The French know how to direct and produce good movies!

8. Phil Duboi-Coyne (Revocation)

Favorite Horror Movie:
Event Horizon

When did you first experience the movie? How old were you?
I was pretty young when I first saw Event Horizon, probably around 11 or 12. I remember having to smuggle it out of the video store in a power rangers VHS sleeve

What’s the scariest scene in the movie?
Either the scene where the hallucinated son with chewed up legs runs his hand on the inside of the tent, or when Dr. Weir’s wife pops up in the maintenance tunnel. That bugged me out as a kid

Are there any personal fears that resonate with you in this movie?
I once had a really bad experience with inter-dimensional deep space travel, so this movie really resonated with me. It’s spooky out there…

Why is this better than any other horror movie out there?
I don’t know if Event Horizon is necessarily better or scarier than other horror movies I’ve seen, it was just one of my gateway horror movies that holds a lot of nostalgic value. I’ve probably seen it over 50 times, its just one if those movies I have to leave on if I see it. At this point its more of a comedy to me.
