Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some of my favorite body horror movies into the ol’ VCR.
Now, this might genuinely come as a surprise, but body horror wasn’t always one of my favorite horror genres.
I know, I know.
Before I became the creepy yet (mostly) well-adjusted adult you see before you, I was just a little horror baby who was only beginning her horror journey.
And…I wasn’t super into body horror.
Again, I know, I know. Please forgive me.
But, as we all know, over the years, I’ve come to love Cronenberg, Yuzna, etc…
Before the spooky season is over, I wanted to share some of my favorite body horror movies with all of you because I feel like it’s one of the only subgenres we haven’t jumped into this October.
HOWEVER, some of these aren’t for the faint of heart, especially the likes of Slime City.
These movies are ooey and gooey and gross and barf-inducing. Some are obviously worse than others, so just go in knowing that it’s gonna get NASTY.
Alrighty, that should do us for disclaimers and introductions.
Without further ado, here are 10 of my favorite body horror movies (and one honorable mention):
- Tusk
- Slither
- Society
- Slime City
- From Beyond
- The Fly (1986)
- The Substance
- The Thing (1982)
- Street Trash (1987)
- Return of the Living Dead III
Honorable Mention: Terrifier 2 (It’s not body horror per se, but it’s still NASTY)
