Excellent choice. It's actually surprising there aren't more winter-based horror films since it makes for such a bleak landscape. No surprise that The Shining immediately came to mind for me... as did The Thing, the John Carpenter version. There was a sequel to released a few years ago and it was very good too. Only other movie that could qualify as a "winter horror" was filmed right here in Niagara-on-the-Lake... The Dead Zone. It may be a stretch to refer to that film as a horror movie but it does have horrific moments and much of it is set in winter.Birgit's brother!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02178558291532747729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-7452063861947796202020-10-16T17:41:05.188-04:002020-10-16T17:41:05.188-04:00I must've seen the Patty Duke and Richard Thom...I must've seen the Patty Duke and Richard Thomas movie back then.

In fact I probably saw it 10 times LOL. Back in the days with double features and you didn't have to leave the movie theater after a showing, my best friend in high school and me went to the movies. "You'll like my Mother" was playing along with Harold and Maude (have you seen that movie with Ruth Gordon?) Anyway, we must have watched those 2 movies over and over again for a few days one summer vacation. I don't remember much about You'll like my Mother except thinking how could John Boy be so evil??<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-63493440405604575912020-10-15T21:29:02.556-04:002020-10-15T21:29:02.556-04:00Snow / Winter Horror?!

That's getting pretty specific.<br /><br />Birgit, I haven't seen any of your Top 3 choices, but that's no surprise, seeing as how I'm not really a huge fan of the "Snow / Winter Horror" genre. ;oD<br /><br />Well, my #1 choice would certainly be John Carpenter's remake of 'THE THING'. One of the very few Horror movies I think is truly great.<br /><br />My second choice - a very distant second - would be 'THE SHINING'. It's pretty good but a bit overrated in my opinion.<br /><br />~ Stephen<br />(aka D-FensDogG)Stephen T.
