Well, let me tell ya, them horror movies with plants, they ain’t for the faint of heart, that’s for sure. I remember seein’ some of them, scared the bejesus outta me, I tell ya! Made me think twice ’bout waterin’ my own petunias, ha!
One time, I saw this movie, I think it was called somethin’ like “Little Shop of Horrors.” Yep, that was it. About this fella, Seymour somethin’, and he had this weird plant. Not like anythin’ I ever seen growin’ in my garden, no sirree. This plant, it had a real hunger, ya know? But not for no fertilizer or sunshine. Nope. This plant, it liked…well, it liked blood. Human blood, can ya believe it?
Scared me silly, it did.
Made me look at my own flower pots with suspicion, I tell ya! I kept thinkin’, “What if that there rose bush starts lookin’ at me funny?” Ha! Silly old woman, I am.
- But that ain’t the only one. There’s a whole bunch of ’em, these scary plant movies.
- Some are real old, black and white and all, like that “Little Shop” movie, the first one.
- Then there’s others, newer ones, with all them fancy special effects.
I heard tell of another one, “The Thing from Another World.” Now, that ain’t exactly just plants, mind you. It’s somethin’ else, somethin’ alien, but it acts kinda like a plant, growin’ and takin’ over things. Creepy stuff, real creepy. Makes you wonder what’s really out there, ya know? Maybe in the woods, or in the desert, somethin’ just waitin’ to…well, I don’t even wanna think about it!
And then there was that one, what was it called… “The Happening”? Yeah, that’s it. That one was somethin’ else. People just droppin’ dead, like flies, for no reason. Turns out, it was the plants! Can you imagine? The trees, the grass, the flowers, all turnin’ against us.
Makes you think twice about walkin’ barefoot in the yard, I tell ya!
I was walkin’ on eggshells for weeks after seein’ that one, I tell ya. Every little rustle of leaves, every swayin’ branch, made me jump a mile.
Folks talk about these movies, sayin’ they’re just for fun, just for a scare. But I tell ya, they make you think. They make you look at nature a little different. You start wonderin’, what if them plants ain’t so innocent after all? What if they got a mind of their own? What if they’re just waitin’ for their chance?
Now, I ain’t sayin’ you should go and chop down all your houseplants or pave over your garden. That ain’t right. But maybe, just maybe, it wouldn’t hurt to be a little more respectful of them green things. After all, they been here a lot longer than us, and who knows what secrets they hold? Who knows what they’re capable of?
So, if you’re lookin’ for a good scare, somethin’ to keep you up at night, them horror movies with plants, they’re the ticket. Just don’t blame me if you start lookin’ at your philodendron a little differently afterwards. And for goodness sake, keep your fingers outta the soil! You never know what might be lurkin’ down there…
Some folks, they like the blood and guts, the jump scares. Me? It’s the quiet ones that get to me. The ones where the plants just…creep. They grow slow, they spread, and before you know it, they gotcha. Like vines snakin’ around your ankles, pullin’ you down. That’s the stuff of nightmares, I tell ya.
Anyways, I reckon I’ve rambled on long enough about these scary plant movies. Just remember, be careful what you grow, and always keep a watchful eye on them leaves. You never know when they might start watchin’ back! And if you hear somethin’ rustlin’ in the bushes at night…well, maybe just stay inside. It’s probably just the wind. But then again…maybe it ain’t.
You just never know with them plants…you just never know.
