Horror Tropes – women in panties

Women in Panties in Horror flicks

Here’s one for the guys, well most of the guys, and perhaps some of the gals…

Women in panties is a recurring theme in horror movies, especially in the Slasher sub-genre. Hell, if it weren’t for women in panties, there would be no Slumber Party Massacre.

I thought it would be fun to see some of the best shots of women in panties from horror movies through the years. Try and guess the films these ‘best of the best’ shots came from and we’ll see if you were paying attention. You can scroll over the photos to see the answers.

Count how many you have recognized and match it to our grades.

1-5 right answers – You’re an amateur, harmless to the world around you.

6-10 right answers – You’ve not been paying much attention to plot details, story lines or character arcs as you’ve been mezmerized by panties in these films. It would be wise to lay off these films for a while and check out some Family Entertainment.

11+ right answers – You’re a stalker and have been looking too close at the panties in all of these films. You’re a vouyer that borders on Peeping Tom and the neighbors were right to call the police on you after finding you in a tree with binocculars.

Odd Thomas (2013) – movie review

Odd Thomas (2013)

Directed by Stephen Sommers

Anton Yelchin
Addison Timlin
Willem Dafoe

I’m not a huge fan of PG-rated horror. I’ll often criticize a film when I think it was purposely tamed and diluted to reach the widest audience possible. But for whatever reason, I didn’t mind the PG-rated antics of Odd Thomas. Perhaps it was because the film made it clear from the first minute, this is a pg-rated horror comedy. Don’t get me wrong, there is some serious subject matter in this film-a child predator, satanic themes, and a planned mass killing-but it is told in a way that is not too gritty. It’s been over ten years since I read the Odd Thomas trilogy by Dean Koontz, but I seem to recall a much darker presentation of the story in the books. Or maybe that was just how I interpreted it.

Part of the acceptance of the film was the charm of the two main characters, Odd and his girlfriend, Stormy (Anton Yelchin and Addison Timlin). Odd does quite a bit of narration in this film. His acceptance of his place in the world, combined with his no-nonsense, flippant attitude toward life was likable. The film cut sideways to little vignettes often and it moved at a fast pace keeping my interest. Willem Dafoe’s talents are mostly wasted here as the police chief with few lines and limited screen time. The story has some nice plot twists and a high concept climax. It wasn’t really scary at any point and it was comical but not laugh-out-loud funny. However It was a good story with some good characters.

This is a film for a wide audience, from YA to old coots like me. It’s a shame this didn’t get a proper release here in the US because this could have been a big film for Koontz, provided it found the right audience. I’m sure Harry Potter fans, those into paranormal-light with a bit of fantasy, would have liked this.

Odd can see paranormal entities. When his small town is overrun by demons that feed on tragedy, Odd knows some major bad event is about to go down. It’s up to him to hunt down the paranormal clues and prevent this catastrophe from hurting the people he loves.

The Frighteners with a dose of John Dies at the End and a sprinkle of The Sixth Sense, if that kid Haley grew up and had a sense of humor. Good for a casual viewing.

I give it 3.0 dastardly demons on the scale of sinister satanic plots to steal souls!
