Number 5's Surreal Creepy Film Collection

[Rev. Rye]

Have you ever read 366 Weird movies? It’s a blog that collects films in that very vein. I used to read it religiously, at least until they reached the 366 mark and they took longer to certify movies as sufficiently weird for the Apocrypha round. I even helped pester them into putting The Butcher Boy on The List, because there’s no way a movie where the main character goes to Juvey for crapping someone’s floor, survives a nuclear apocalypse, becomes best buds with the Virgin Mary (played by Sinead O’Connor], and brutally murders a friend’s mother Manson-style doesn’t belong on a list of the weirdest movies ever made (even if it is broad enough that comparatively sane films like Night of the Hunter and movies as terrifying as Eraserhead both made the list.) I’ve seen a sizable portion of them. And, furthermore, the Deep Hurting Project, as seen on the Last Movie You’Ve Watched thread, was inspired by the fact that my favorite movie of all time and the worst movie I had ever seen at that point (if it even counted as one, anyway), were both on the list. That said, I have since seen worse than Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny and even in movies I’m less hesitant to call movies.
