'There's some stupid killer stalking some big-breasted girl who can't act who is always running up the stairs when she should be running out the front door. It's insulting.'
With Halloween under 10 days away, it's time to begin FH's October Halloween and horror themed posts. If you haven't guessed already, I'm beginning with one of the season's, and the movies, classic horror themed tropes, the spook staircase. Scream 'final girl' Sidney Prescott was right about characters stupidly running up the stairs, but it's not just big-breasted girls. Horror's hot himbos often make the same mistake, not to mention their pesky need to have sex one last time before being stabbed, gutted or dismembered.
Today's theme was inspired by the many horror movies I've seen with spooking staircases, and both their actual, and sometimes subliminal meaning in the story. Staircases often represent a journey, one with the ups and downs of life. A jou4n3y where ascending can symbolize a positive or upward movement (like achieving goals or knowledge) and descending can signify a more negative or conflict, Freud thought staircases represented a sexual journey, and there's also the sexual connections with reaching the top, or hitting the bottom.
Today's posts were inspired by many artists, models and movies, initially with photographer Bob Burkhardt and his staircase shoot with Victor. I was also inspired by model Harry Caudill. Although Harry's hotness is always inspirational, especially in these images through the lens of TR Pics. It wasn't an image of Harry that had me reaching out to him however, but the short scary staircase Halloween video he posted on his Instagram. (Below)
Over the next two pages you'll see many hot men, going up, and coming down flights of stairs. If you head on over to PAGE 2 HERE:, you'll also see some of my favorite staircase themed posts from the past, as well as a tribute to one of my favorite storytellers and staircase shooters who sadly just recently took his painful last steps.
