Soda Can-Maximum Overdrive
What could be more common and harmless than a simple soda can? Well, in the classic 1986 horror flick Maximum Overdrive, an adaptation of the Stephen King short story “Trucks,” soda cans become lethal projectiles as a soda machine went haywire, along with all the rest of the machines in the world. The machines go on murderous rampages. The result of the soda machine attack is a baseball umpire that takes a can right in the junk, then another one in the bean that opens up a fatal head wound that all fans of 80’s horror films certainly remember.
Tack Hammer-The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2
Chop-Top. Just the name puts a smile on the faces of horror fans. He is one of the most beloved characters in the genre, and the man who brought the demented vision to life, Bill Moseley, continues to be a favorite among fans, and in the 20+ years since he played the role, he has become a horror icon. But it was certainly that initial shocking introduction we get with Chop-Top that got the ball rolling. After the infamous “E-X-I-T” scene, we soon see Chop-Top pounding away on the skull of radio station employee L.G. with a tack hammer while repeatedly screaming his unforgettable line, “Incoming mail! Incoming mail!” Classic. By the way, the video below is of Chop-Top’s initial meeting with Stretch (Caroline Williams) as the “Incoming Mail” scene was unavailable. However, upon researching this segment, we stumbled upon a YouTube video entitled “Buckethead, Bill and The Duck.” It’s worth checking out.
There you have the Top Five Heinous Household Horrors. And certainly when Evil Dead hits theaters this Friday, April 5, there will be some new extremely intense and downright chilling horror to deal with. Groovy!
