The Month of Horror Day 4: Alien

Basement contributor Matt Bellamy has taken it upon himself to watch and review at least one horror movie a day for the month of October . . . because he's awesome that way! And, with his fourth entry, he reminds us that in space no one can hear you scream!

'Cause there's no air and if you try you'll explode.

There is definitely something eerie about the thought of something, somewhere lurking in the darkness and "in space, no one can hear you scream" is probably one of the most unsettling horror tag lines of all time. Before James Cameron came along and pumped it up with action and testosterone, Ridley Scott started it all off as a terrifying example of what goes bump in the night, or space. I rarely revisit this movie because it actually does frighten me, growing up I was always terrified of the alien creature and constantly imagined it was waiting for me in the darkness but I'm all grown up now and can handle it! Right? This is one of the true horror greats and one that demands to be viewed with all of the lights off.

    Just a revisit? I think an "Aliens" night is in order- with the complete series! I'm planning on watching all the "Omen" movies (including the remake) this weekend and reviewing them! :D

Top 5 quotes from the Rambo franchise

It's Rambo Day, which means it's a day we celebrate all things Rambo. And no, we didn't make that up. It's a real thing, and part of the lead in to Rambo: Last Blood coming out on Friday. We were going to celebrate by doing a Top 5 favourite Rambo kills, but the fine folks at Arrow in the Head already did something like that, so I figured why not share our favourite Rambo quotes. I like quotes. Quotes are good. Anyway, here we go with our Top 5, in no particular order: 5) "They drew first blood." - John Rambo, First Blood (1982) Because it's always cool when the hero references the title of the movie in a quote. 4) "Live for nothing, or die for something. Your call." - John Rambo, Rambo (2008) Because it's 100-per-cent truth, and is the exclamation mark on a great monologue by Stallone. 3) "I could have killed 'em all. I could kill you. In town, you're the law. Out here, it's me. Don't push it, or I'l...
