What I love about horror is that people can be super passionate about specific subgenres within the overarching umbrella. Some love psychological thrillers while others love supernatural terrors. But for Toronto electronic duo Zeds Dead, it’s all about the splatter! And they love it when it comes from horror or even when it’s a non-horror film. And you know that with their name being a reference to Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction, there’s gonna be a couple of his films on there.
Check out the five picks from Zeds Dead below and let us know your favorite splatter scenes, horror or non-horror, in the comments below!
If you’re in the Tucson, AZ area, make sure to check out Zeds Dead at Life in Color this Saturday. Tickets can be purchased here. Also, you can snag music from Zeds Dead via iTunes!
The Shining – Elevator Blood Scene
“One of my favourite movies of all time, the scene where Danny foresees the see of blood rushing from the elevator doors, and general nightmarish visions of The Overlook Hotel…. bone chilling.”
Drive – Motel Scene
“Shit hits the fan, a girl gets her head blown off with a shotgun in slow motion, three people are brutally murdered in about a minute and a half, Ryan Gosling behaves like a weirdo. Very cool.”
Django Unchained – Candyland Shootout
“Incredibly satisfying moment where everyone gets what’s coming to them. Tarantino definitely knows how give you what you want when it comes to people getting brutally murdered in revenge type scenarios.””
Inglorious Basterds – Movie Theatre Fire/Hitler’s Death
“Hitler gets shot like 300 times in the face. Nazis get blown up and burned in an elaborate revenge plot. Cinematic excellence.”
American Psycho – “Huey Lewis and the News”
“Patrick Bateman being a psycho in the most entertaining way. Cool how they always show his OCD tendencies and how crazily far he takes them.”
