Elaine Lamkin’s Plague Pit Award
September 26th, 2008
I would like to banish to The Plague Pits all PG-13 (Cert 15 in the UK…I believe) horror and most remakes as well as this current trend of romantic horror in “literature”. Of course there have been a FEW respectable PG-13 horror films such as “The Ring” (remake) and…well, that’s the only one I can think of offhand so enough already! And with all of the horrifically imaginative writers, one would think there would be more film adaptations of works by popular horror writers BESIDES Stephen King (who does better on television anyway). So quit with the remakes!!
Also, vampires are not meant to be sexy. Re-read “Dracula”. He was NOT described as looking like Gary Oldman or Frank Langella. Count Orlock in F.W. Murnau’s “Nosferatu” was closer to Stoker’s ideal. So all these sexy vampire novels and TV shows should be consigned to the deepest realm of the Plague Pits.
