50 Classic Horror Films You SHOULDN'T Watch: DON'T WATCH Gremlins

Here we are just 4 days in to our little expose on all things classically horror and truth be told, we haven't even got started yet! Many of you are still waiting patiently by the mailbox waiting on your first DVDs to arrive via Netflix, others are still trying to find the best source to watch for free online without getting adware. So as you're testing your combination VHS/DVD system to see if it still works and trying out the stream on your internet enabled Blu-Ray disc player, I want you to remember that as much as we're all ready for the festivities this month, sometimes technical difficulties occur.  

In real life, the only thing you'd have to fear is random electro static discharge from that conked out old VCR but in a horror movie, before you even THINK about doing any repairs, make sure to turn on all the lights, check all your closets and cupboards, look under all the beds, and work especially far away from any source of liquid. Not just for electrical safety's sake of course, for we all know that during this season, you may not be dealing with just a blown capacitor, there just might be a gremlin in your house. But hey, you already knew that did you? You've known that for 30 years at this point! Ever since the combination Halloween/Christmas family favorite film debuted in 1984, it's had the unique capacity to make audiences go "awwwe" one moment and "AAAAHHH!!!" the next. In truth, Gremlins, along with Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, was the major reason why the MPAA created the rating of PG-13. Audiences all over the country were having a hard time trying to digest a movie that was as cute as it was and as scary as it was at the same time. The result was one of the most iconic films of 1984, a year many consider to be the best year in film of all time. Never mind that ladies and gentlemen because this year we have a much bigger fuzzy problems to deal with.

ATTACK THE BLOCK. This 2011 British film is tells the story of a gang of south London hoods who unwittingly start an interstellar turf war with a race of giant gorilla-wolf monsters from outer space that crash land on "their block." It's equal parts The Goonies, Gremlins and Judgment Night and seriously, if you're not already saying, "sign me up" you're seriously dead inside.

THE CRITTERS SERIES. If you're in the mood for some cheesy goodness when it comes to fuzzy little hellions, look no further than the movie series Critters. The four movie series is like a more violent, poor version of Gremlins which is both it's blessing and it's curse. On one hand, the creatures are much scarier in appearance but on the other hand, the movies are so deliciously and laughably 80's that they don't hold as high of a creep factor as they used to. Still that's no reason not to watch them because no matter how bad they are, they're all still pretty enjoyable. Watch out for Billy Zane in the first movie, Leonardo DiCaprio(In his first movie role) in the third, and Angela Bassett in the 4th. Talk about Cheese? You got it in spades!
