Attack of the Killer Heat! Summer Horror for Your Viewing Pleasure

It ain't the heat that's got you sweating…             

  

Horror is the reason for the summer season, so go on and revisit your favourites in horror cinema. Some are classics, some are blockbusters, and yes, some are super cheesy. Even if they have you reaching for a bottle of fine wine just to get the taste out of your mouth, keep in mind that summer horror viewing is not about having a discriminating taste in the terrifying; it's about indulging your crazy cravings for ridiculous carnage.

String up a sheet, prop up your feet, and start one of these gems in your outdoor backyard screening palace.

Jaws (Dir. Steven Spielberg, 1975): What’s that gnashing at your limbs? Why, it’s TERROR! Unleash this classic before you dive in and prove you have the guts to stop from jumping at every seaweed tickle.

Orca(Dir. Michael Anderson, 1977): A lame rip-off, you say? Hardly! This creature will out-swim, out-think and perhaps even out-awesome the mighty Great White shark. It says so in the dialogue. Plus, they have a MUCH bigger boat.

Piranha (Dir. Joe Dante, 1978): Stuck inside on a rainy day?
Need something to gnaw through the deadly boredom? Push ‘Play’
and feast your eyes on these little man-eating beasts.

Zombi 2 (Dir. Lucio Fulci, 1979): Here’s another force greater than the Great White. Try this tropical tale of the undead and watch the ultimate summer horror battle: zombie vs. shark! 
  
Blood Beach (Dir. Jeffrey Bloom, 1981): Planning to be a beach bum this summer? You’ll be sucked into this shoreline bloodbath faster than you can slather on suntan oil.

 Enjoy!
