Cinematical Seven: Horror films in haiku

The Shining

It's almost Halloween, and nothing says "Halloween" like...haiku about horror films! In honor of our favorite spooky holiday, Cinematical Seven brings you seven of our favorite horror films, summed up in haiku:

1. The Shining

Here's Johnny's great plan:
Winter in haunted hotel!
Just Overlook ghosts.

2. Halloween

Out trick or treating?
Look out for that great big kid
"Tricking" with a knife.

3. Friday the 13th

Jason holds a grudge;
Nubile young teens having sex
Really piss him off.

4. Silence of the Lambs

"Coming for dinner?"
Hannibal calls to ask you.
Guess who's the main course?

5. The Amityville Horror

How scary is it?
A film about a big house
Haunted by a pig.

6. Psycho

Ah, the Bates Motel.
Perfect place to stop tonight.
Think I'll shower now.

7. Rosemary's Baby

Want to have a kid?
I know the perfect father.
Just don't mind the horns.

Go ahead, give it your best shot! Pick your own favorite horror film and write us a haiku about it!

Why kill kids in dreams?
I thought you'd been burnt before.
Two words, Fred: nail file.

Maximum overdrive

The machines rise up
and trucks attack some people
who moan "Who made who?"

The Phantom of the Opera

Candlelight romance,
Sweet music, gondola rides,
Looks aren't everything. . . .

Dracula

Aristocratic
Night owl,seeks hickey partner
To drive him batty. . . .

Frankenstein

Tall, one of a kind,
Sensitive, non-smoking, seeks
Mate, looks not vital.

The EXORCIST

Little girl is sick
The devil has taken her
yet she lies right there.
