Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping songs I’d love to see as horror movies into the ol’ VCR.
Well, friends, we all know that it’s my favorite time of the year.
The air is electric. The pumpkins are plentiful. My sinuses are completely dried out because the weather where I live goes from chilly to scorching in a matter of hours.
Ah yes, it’s fall.
And, we can’t let another day of fall go by without another edition of Alluring Adaptations.
That’s right, we’re taking more songs that I think would make great horror movies and giving you a taste of how I picture the plot.
I love this series because I don’t tend to write a lot of fiction (hence why everyone on the internet usually knows what’s going on in my life at any given moment), but it’s really fun for me to dabble in that space.
Alrighty, that should do us for introductions.
Without further ado, here are four songs I think would make excellent horror movies:
“Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You)” by Kelly Clarkson
Amber is a slasher-obsessed 20-something who yearns for the days of the classic 80s horror movie. After a terrible breakup, Amber turns to her favorite genre for comfort. However, when a mysterious box of video tapes appears on her doorstep, Amber finds herself immersed in the world of the movies she loves. Hopping from subgenre to subgenre and through trope to trope, Amber must fight to become the final girl she was always meant to be before it’s too late.
Think Final Girls meets Happy Death Day but oozing with 80s slasher sleaze.
“The Way” by Fastball
Grace’s sister, Sophie, has been searching for Grace and her girlfriend for three years after they disappeared on a road trip. Rumors have swirled around town for decades about the specific stretch of road they went missing on, but Sophie always thought they were just that: rumors. But after catching a glimpse of who she swears to be Grace outside her window one night, Sophie realizes that the whispers around town about never getting old and gray might have some merit…and Grace’s road trip might not have been as random as she thought.

“Hung Up” by Madonna
Haley is sick of dating apps. They’ve swiped, messaged, and gone on failed date after failed date. All that changes when they come across Jess. Jess seems to be funny, smart, and everything Haley is looking for. There’s just one problem: Jess isn’t real—she’s the AI assistant built into the dating app. But when Haley finds themselves actually falling for a real person, Jess might be a bit more hung up on Haley than they realized.

“Shut Up and Dance” by WALK THE MOON
Carter is a professional photographer known for capturing abandoned venues. After getting a tip from a colleague, he sets off to a dance hall to get pictures for his next installation. Much to Carter’s surprise, when he arrives, the dance hall appears to be open and fully-functional. There, he meets Angela, who he spends the night dancing with and talking to. The only weird thing is that anytime he asks Angela any probing questions, her only response is, “Shut up and dance.”
Whenever Carter tries to return to the dance hall the next day to try to get Angela’s number, he’s only left with more confusion as the building seems to be in a complete state of disrepair. However, when he returns that night to grab the lens he dropped, an all-too-familiar neon sign is glowing from the bar. As Carter falls harder and harder for Angela, he realizes this woman is his destiny, but he’s going to have to choose between the land of the living and the ghosts of the past.
