This got me thinking about how, generally speaking, I like things that bite.Sharks. Snakes. Vampires. Zombies.
But interestingly, not spiders. Especially not the black widows that live in my shed. Ick. I saw one the other day, sitting above the door to the shed when I went to put Danielle's bike, which I had borrowed, back in the shed. Needless to say, I have a little meltdown and Dani put the bike away for me.
And now, for no particular reason - an alphabetized list.
Movies I Like That Feature Things That Bite:
- 28 Days Later - fast zombies are scary
- 28 Weeks Later - fast zombies are *still* scary
- Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid - best line in this movie: ""I love science, but I love money even more!"
- Anatomy of a Shark Bite - graphic. Very graphic.
- Dawn of the Dead
- Deep Blue Sea - I love the part where they suck a liquid from the shark's brain, put this "protein" in a dish with some cells and the cells go all crazy (at least, that's vaguely how I remember the scene)... the biochemist in me went batshit crazy when I saw that! Um, protein purification procedures, anyone??
- Interview with the Vampire
- Jaws
- The Lost Boys - back when this came out, I was all about the Corey Haim. Now when I watch it, it's Jason Patric all the way!
- Night of the Living Bread - too funny!
- Night of the Living Dead - a classic
- Nightwatch - Daywatch is coming soon to a theatre near you. So excited!
- The Omega Man
- Open Water
- The Serpent and the Rainbow - I remember seeing this a long, long time ago and really liking it. Of course, I have the world's worst memory, so I don't recall much of what happened. I should really watch it again!
- Shark Attack 3: Megalodon - the best line EVER in a movie is in this film.
- Shaun of the Dead
- Snakes on a Plane - this movie gave you exactly what it promised. There were snakes. They were on a plane. Great marketing too.
- Underworld
- Underworld: Evolution
- Zombie '90: Extreme Pestilence - a lesser known zombie flick, it just has to be seen to be believed. I was pleasantly surprised to find it listed on Internet Movie Database.

Sometimes I'm glad that I am a stupid-head, because it makes it easier to believe movies with silly plot devices.
I don't remember things biting in The Serpent and the Rainbow, but I do remember that someone drives a stake through Bill Pullman's ballsackio.
That's pretty much where I stopped watching that movie.
Isn't The Serpent and the Rainbow about zombies? Don't zombies always bite? Or wait, they were voodoo-induced zombies, not bite-induced zombies weren't they? Damn, I need to watch that movie again...
I saw 28 weeks later a few days ago and it was terrifying. Zombies are my greatest fear, and I had a hard time watching the movie... Especially during the especially gory parts ha ha.
fyi, dbs, the black widows in the shed are properly known as the "western black widows" (Latrodectus hesperus), not to be confused with their their northern or southern cousins. it is considered the most venomous spider in north america. fortunately, there is an emergency "i was just bitten by a western black widow" hotline: 800-222-1222. unfortunately, they only accept calls from within the u.s., so canadians are pretty much fucked.
