10 Horror Movie Parties We Wouldn't Want To Be Invited To
Looking for food, drinks and fun? You won't find them at any of these killer shindigs.
In the horror movie landscape, there are rare opportunities for victims to just lay back and have a good time. Particularly when a slow-walking murderer or a terrifying creature from another world is stalking their every move. However, victims are people too, and as such, they have a basic need for interaction and mingling. In other words, for getting their PARTY ON!
Not an uncommon theme whatsoever, parties in horror movies are used as a plot device that allows viewers to easily relate to the situation presented on the screen. No matter how convoluted or creepy it ends up being. A party is an everyday occurrence, which can rapidly turn catastrophic when the wrong components are placed together.
As viewers, we are aware of the disastrous potential behind these celebrations. And thus, we feel entitled to yell every time one of these party animals picks the wrong door and ends up facing the stabby end of the killer's knife.
Most victims are unaware of the risks, right up until the moment they pay the ultimate price for their carelessness. How unfortunate for them, cue the blood and screams. Well, let's hope that these party-goers enjoyed themselves while the beers were still nice and cold. Here are 10 horror movie parties we wouldn't want to be invited to.
10. Beach Party - The Sand (2015)
After a long night of beachside partying, a group of high school students wakes up with terrible hangovers. We get glimpses of the party through brief cell phone videos being played when the movie begins. Through these videos, we find out that the students were determined to have the wildest time possible: Vegas rules, baby! Only a few of them are left at the beach when the sun rises. Suddenly, a mysterious and bloody occurrence prevents them from leaving anytime soon.
An unknown creature, monster or entity has hatched from a slimy cocoon that was found on the beach. If you touch the sand, it's the last thing you'll ever do. You'll be turned into human sludge in mere seconds, an efficient process performed by countless translucent "hairs" buried in the sand.
Basically, the worst game of "the floor is lava" ever. Don't worry, kids. The police are here. Oh, but it's officer Jamie Kennedy (yeah, from The Jamie Kennedy Experiment), so never mind.
That party was sick, bro! Vegas rules! It didn't seem to be worth it, considering the slushy outcome.
