Favorites: 10 Best Horror Vendettas
There have definitely been some really intensely awesome match-ups in horror film history. Not much compares to a deep rooted grudge taking on a nasty vindictive on-screen form when it comes to the joy of the movies for me. There is something magical about the “good guy” taking out the “bad guy” or as it sometimes happens: the other way around. So here is a short list of my personal favorites. (in no particular order)
( and of course my apologies if the picture made you wet yourself, it happens to the best of us – I am not sure what this image is of but I am sure it will haunt my dreams forever)
