Cabin in the Woods

So Cabin in the Woods, I guess I have very little left to say on the matter, but really quick on the blog I wanted to post a picture of the white board that the puppetmasters place their bets on. It is easily one of the best parts of the movies, and gets all your nerd juices running. It is just an easy list of some cliché horror movie monsters but its so good none the less. The horror classics are there: werewolf, alien, zombies, whitches, clowns, demons, snake, mummy, and vampire. But seeing it all at once is just enough to go wild. The board includes nods to other movies like the “angry molesting tree” a total nod to Evil Dead and also Deadites, which is what the zombie like demons in Evil Dead are called, which shows how much respect Weedon has for Sam Rami and the whole seriese itself. The Hell Lord is a nod to Hell Raiser. The next groups areother stapeles of horror lore reanimated, jack o lantern, scarecrows, wreatihs, the doctords, sasquatch. And finally the ones that get the most laughs from the crowd: not just witches but “sexy witches”, a Unicorn which doesn’t seem terrifying, but when it spears a random person later on the laugh is one of the best in the movie. DragonBat is a personal favorite of mine, as well as the terrifying merman. Also, never rule out Kevin. The whole movie gets my undying respect and love, I just wanted to point out one of the best things that is easy to miss if you only see once.
