Meme: Images of Big Hair in Horror Films

I was recently tagged by Kristy Jett at The Person You Benefit From Knowing , Emily at The Quest to Watch Every Movie Ever , and Fred [The Wolf] at Full Moon Reviews - Horror, Sci-Fi, Action, B-Movies for a meme that involves posting images from horror films that all have a common theme. Thank you guys so much! I thought I would pick a theme that had a lot to do with horror in the '80s and one that I could relate to.


BIG HAIR IN HORROR FILMS


Basket Case (1982)
Splatter University (1984)
Cheerleader Camp (1987)
Trick Or Treat (1986)
Sleepaway Camp III: Teenage Wasteland (1989)
Madman (1982)
The Lost Boys (1987)
Summer of Fear (1978)
Night of the Comet (1984)
The Blob (1988)
The Toxic Avenger (1985)
Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989)
Night of the Demons (1988)
Friday the 13th Part 3 (1982)

    LOL! This may be the best post yet. Although didn't every 80s horror film have characters with big hair? But yeah, great choices. Although I can't stand that Tina bimbo from Halloween 5. I just want to shake her hair and slap her like Leslie Neilsen does in Airplane!

    Holy crap! This was an awesome post! Thanks for checking out my Once Bitten review. I thought it'd be your kind of flick. Speaking of which... it's been a while. Sorry! I haven't been able to get online much lately. These last few months have been CRAZY! I totally forgot to send you those DVDs I promised you. Do you still want them? If so, I'll work on getting 'em mailed out to you before the end of this month. Sorry about that!

    Thank you! No problem. Once Bitten is one of my favorites. I completely understand. You can send me those DVDs if you want to. If you do, I'll have to send you my new address. It's okay. I forgive you, haha.

    Andrew: Thank you! I had to put a pic up of Cheerleader Camp. Not many people mention that film. Love Betsy Russell!

    Cheerleader Camp is a great cheesy classic. Your pic of Kevin Dillon's big 'do in The Blob had me laughing since I always see him as Johnny Drama nowadays.

    I'm with you there, Geof! Kevin's hair was stylin', wasn't it? Haha. It is funny seeing him go from 1988's The Blob to Entourage today.

    Morgan - From the other extreme, it's funny to see how much his hair looks the same (albeit a bit more receded) in Remote Control as in Entourage. Remember the film Remote Control (not the MTV game show, haha)?

  18. MorganAugust 11, 2010 at 10:48 PM

    I agree. I remember Remote Control, but I haven't seen all of it. Need to get on watching it entirely, haha.

    I think Marge Simpson in the Simpsons Halloween special winds hands down. If animated hair doesn't count, I would probably go with Caroline Munro in Slaughter High, towards the end when she comes back as a ghost.

    @ Morgan - CHEERLEADER CAMP is the bomb-diggety. Cool gathering of big hair... although I totally would have included Jon-Mikl Thor from ROCK 'N ROLL NIGHTMARE. ;)

  23. MorganAugust 14, 2010 at 1:25 PM

    Marge definitely has the biggest hair out of any character in TV/Film. Oh darn, I was meaning to put Caroline Munro in Slaughter High. Next time.

    J. Astro: Thank you! I would have added Rock 'n Roll Nightmare, but I haven't seen the film entirely yet.

    The Lost Boys will always be my favorite. YAY FOR VAMPIRE MULLETS!

    Fun film! Vampires haven't looked so cool since.

    Genius theme! Loved it! The bigger the hair the closer to heaven.
