With Halloween right around the corner, Street decided to catch up with some of Penn’s campus leaders about their favorite spooky films.
Lauren Yates, Excelano Project Director My favorite horror film by far is Brian De Palma's adaptation of Stephen King’s Carrie. The number of bad remakes alone prove the awesomeness of this film. It doesn’t matter how terrible The Rage: Carrie 2 is. What matters is that these directors saw enough greatness in Carrie to ruin it. And if it weren’t for Carrie, Jan wouldn’t have been a psychopath in the '90s gem that is The Brady Bunch Movie. And I doubt Superbad would’ve had that period blood scene, either.
Megan Lacey, Bloomers Chairwoman Definitely The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Don’t get me wrong, I ain’t scared of dancing transvestites, a man–made hunk or Meatloaf on a motorcycle. But Susan Sarandon in her underwear? Terrifying.
