You're favorite horror film hero


We always talk about our favorite horror monsters, but no ever talks about who is you're favorite hero from a horror film, the one defeating the evil.

Mine would be:

Peter Cushing as Doctor Van Helsing

PS: You can choose only one!

Good choice, I'm going with Kurt Russell as MacReady in The Thing (1982).

HM - Tony the Pimp in Demons (1985)

Alice from Alice Sweet Alice perhaps, IDK.

Perhaps, or maybe it's from this song:

Ash Williams (Evil Dead) for sure

A couple of 'Final Girls' stand out but you said only one...

reply

Jeff Goldblum in The Fly. A twofer, monster *and* hero!

reply

Yes, I liked Jeff in The Fly. Also liked Vincent Price in the original film The fly.

reply

Funny, in all these years I've never seen the original.

Donald Pleasence as Dr. Sam Loomis

He gives such a great performance in "Halloween", and his speech about Michael Myers is chilling.

"I met him, 15 years ago; I was told there was nothing left; no reason, no conscience, no understanding in even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, of good or evil, right or wrong. I met this... six-year-old child with this blank, pale, emotionless face, and... the blackest eyes - the Devil's eyes. I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up, because I realized that what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply... evil."

reply

He was also good in Dracula...

reply

Mine as well.

Hey, SoCrates get your ass away from there!

I did say one...You’re ruining the experience of this thread

Oh well, then it's out to the woodshed for me.

You, my friend, have crossed the line between man and bum.

In which direction?

You know you really need some help. A regular psychiatrist couldn't even help you. You need to go to like Vienna or something. You know what I mean? You need to get involved at the University level. Like where Freud studied and have all those people looking at you and checking up on you. That's the kind of help you need. Not the once a week for eighty bucks. No. You need a team. A team of psychiatrists working round the clock thinking about you, having conferences, observing you, like the way they did with the Elephant Man. That's what I'm talking about because that's the only way you're going to get better.

So so you know what web site I would go onto for that?

Where Costanza?

reply


Okay that's a good start, you have an adverb and a noun. Now if you would add a verb, you might have a complete sentence.

Well actually you would would more properly address me as Mr. English Teacher.
