The 12 Scariest Moments in Scorsese Movies

From Fear.NET:  Shutter Island opens this Friday, and a lof of folks are probably wondering how director Martin Scorsese — who's tackled all kinds of film genres in his forty-plus year career — will handle a traditional thriller. Having seen the film, I can say that despite what its trailer promises, it's pretty far from traditional, but still terrific; and it wears its genre influences proudly on its sleeve. (In fact, with apologies to The Departed, I think the film is probably Scorses's best since Casino.) Of course, the Oscar-winning filmmaker isn't exactly a stranger to our neck of the woods. His Cape Fear was a pretty straightforward excursion into terror, and, upon close inspection, his entire oeuvre is littered with moments scarier than what's offered by most of today's horror movies. So in honor of Shutter Island, we here at FEARnet present the twelve Scariest Moments in Martin Scorsese Movies. Why only twelve, instead of the more frightening number that follows it? Because you, dear reader, are hereby invited to vote for your own after you watch Shutter Island this weekend. Its bound to give you a few chilling ideas.

Japanese Horror Posters Keep Art Form Alive.

The 1980’s may have been the high water mark for horror poster art.  One used to be able to walk through the halls of the local video store and see a wide variety of horrific tableau’s adorning the boxes and posters promoting horror movies.  In the new millennium, we are living in an era of bland posters and box art.  A seemingly endless parade of floating heads and faces stare back at us from what now passes for movie posters.  Where artists once strived to tell a story with a single image – now these “designers” seek to inundate us with the who’s who of actors in the film.

Poster art is truly a lost art form.  That’s why it always thrills me to see the Japanese designs for Western films.  They are simply the best produced poster works on the planet.  Let’s celebrate this lost art form by taking a peek at a few fantastic designs from the land of the rising sun.

Check out this great video featuring the amazing, surreal and sadomasochistic visual stylings from Clive Barker’s video game masterpiece -  JERICHO.  The video is in German – so you’re safe from too many spoilers – unless you speak German that is.
