Here you go, Teppy:
Lonely residents of a tornado-stricken Ohio town wander the deserted landscape trying to fulfill their boring, nihilistic lives.
Could work for Michigan just as well, really.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Shit, man, we don't even need tornadoes to do THAT.

Eeeep! That movie makes me shudder.

OK, back to the horror movies. I've never ever heard of Cannibal Holocaust or Inside.
Worth watching or just gross-out?
Cannibal Holocaust is the one where they actually filmed animals being maimed and killed, right? Definite pass from me.
I recall having the impression Gummo was like Kid Eraserhead, but I've never seen it.

Yes, according to the comments on that site. So I'm crossing it off my list. And I'm not sure I can handle Inside as it hits some personal squicks.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I haven't seen it either. I only remember the promo photo of the freaky-looking kid in the tub.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I never even heard of the movie for Wisconsin!
I haven't seen it, but I'm sure it's a far better choice than anything inspired by Ed Gein.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Worth watching or just gross-out?
Inside was one of the most disturbing movies I've ever seen. Really, really gross as well. And most definitely not a movie to see if you are pregnant. Beatrice Dalle gives unbelievably convincing psycho.

Sadly, The Ice Storm is actually a pretty good choice for CT.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
For horror lists I really like Kimberley Lindberg's blog Cinebeats and her 31 Films That Give Me the Willies.
Excellent mix of classic and contemporary, known and obscure but with a distinct, personal taste. I found her blog by searching reviews on early sixties horror (which I'm writing about currently) and she's a huge fan of that era.
Her list was a meme for several hardcore horror film bloggers, which was compiled into this very intriguing master list of scary movies.
