Top 10 Horror Movie Islands! – JoBlo.com

Show of hands, how many of you have already punched your ticket to KONG: SKULL ISLAND this weekend? Seems a worthy investment considering how well received the flick has been so far. Take the plunge and report back with what you saw. But in the interim, we're going to be doing a little traveling of our own, and doing so with one question in mind: what makes an island setting such a perfect one for a horror movie? Is it the remote, isolated, inescapable nature of a landmass surrounded by deep ocean waters that does it? Nowhere to run, very few places to hide? Whatever the case, such a marooned locale has been around since the dawn of the format. Flicks like THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME, ISLAND OF THE LOST SOULS, HORROR ISLAND, ISLE OF THE DEAD, hell, even the original KING KONG, they all used the island-setting as a place of abject horror. So let's do one in kind. Matter of fact, let's do 10. Here below are our Top 10 Horror Movie Islands!
