A deadly prehistoric parasite has been released from melting polar ice caps and that is bad news for the ecology students in the vicinity, and the world at large. We're feeling the very cold, very dangerous expedition theme. Let's stay in the Arctic for a bit longer. But let's just focus on the freezing temps, the flame thrower and the creepy creatures. A flame-thrower, shape-shifting, parkas, and the feel-good vibes of "do not trust anyone under any circumstances." It hits differently in a covid-world, sure. Maybe this one will warm you up, because however cold it is where you are, it's unlikely that you are in the midst of remote Antarctica temps. May you stay safe and warm, and may your power remain on for the duration of the storm.
So should you find yourself hunkering down and cozying up, here's a list of ten snowy horror movies to keep you company while you make the most of waiting it out. A streak of crimson glaring against a stark canvas of white. Also, there is something incredibly cinematic about blood splatter on snow. Most of these movies on this list, take that aspect and crank it way up to eleven by tossing in some elements that would top the list of "Things You'd Least Likely Want To Be Stranded With" like werewolves, supernatural entities, and axe-wielding maniacs just off the top of my head. But the concept of being stranded or cut off is a terrifying thought in itself. Perhaps partially because it's already starting off somewhat foreign to me. There are many inherently scary elements about horror movies that take place in the snow.
At least, that is likely how I would spend a blizzardy weekend. But it sure sounds scary and I imagine in the best case scenario it entails sort of hunkering down and staying warm, ideally in front of a fireplace if you've got one, beneath a blanket or two, and cozying up with some horror movies. I mean, the vague concept of a really big blizzard, sure.
As a born and bred Californian, I don't entirely know all that entails or how one prepares for such a warning. "Snow falling soundlessly in the middle of the night will always fill my heart with sweet clarity.All week there's been talk amongst the Fango fam about a Nor'easter rolling in. "The snow is sparkling like a million little suns." - Lama Willaħ5. Every snowflake that I caught was a miracle unlike any other.” - Alice Hoffmanħ4. Snow fell on my eyelashes, and all of Brooklyn turned white, a world in a globe. "My breath came out in a fog and rose into the milky sky. It hems you in, lifts your spirit, and as you soar awhile it lets you down for being the meaningless ashen powder that it is.” - André Acimanħ3.
"Silently, like thoughts that come and go, the snowflakes fall, each one a gem." - William Hamilton Gibsonħ2. But I knew that, like many things, beauty could be deceiving.” - Cambria Hebertħ1. "The snow was endless, a heavy blanket on the outdoors it had a way about it. Say lend me a comb (It's up to your knees out there.)" - Frank Loesserħ0. "I've gotta get home (But baby you'd freeze out there) Glaciers look like where it’s dribbled.” - Jane Wilson-HowarthĦ9. "Snow always makes me think of ice-cream. Do you remember your first snow?" - Lara BiyutsĦ8. Someone has shaken my world and I’m watching as it rearranges itself.” - Mae LevesonĦ7. ".I am staring at the view out of the window, which is like a giant snow globe. "It was the kind of snow that brought children running out their doors, made them turn their faces skyward, and spin in circles with their arms outstretched.” - Eowyn IveyĦ6. "The snow falls soft and unfathomable, drawing the world down to a whitened hush, forcing us (as few things do) to pause long enough to take stock of everything that we miss in our crazed pursuit to gain everything that we can.” - Craig D.
