Goths in movies
 
Can you think of some movies that have goths in them?
Sure you can. For some reason, "Home Room" sticks in my mind.

Can you think of any other movie with a goth or goths as a main component?

The idea of this thread it to call out titles of movies that have goths in them.

Beetlejuice?

There's a tacky early 90s B-movie floating around in bargin bins called "Mirror Mirror", about a Goth girl. It stars Rainbow Harvest whose character has a bit of resemblance to Winona Ryder's character Lydia in Beetlejuice.

There was that terrible Gypsy 83.

I don't think I'll ever forgive the girl who made me watch that with her.

Thumper in Butterfly Effect, as well as the goth girl in Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows.

I feel embarrased saying this but the new Goosebumps movie Emily plays a cute little goth girl. And I guess the Breakfast club girl outcast could be considered goth by the less informed.

Lydia from Beetlejuice? Everyone in The Addams Family movies, Edward Scissorhands. :)

In Big Daddy there's a goth in one scene.

Nobody's said "The Crow" yet?

Albert Mond 11-13-2008 12:33 PM

Also, "Houseguest".

Lemme think...

Do the Nihilists in Big Lebowski count?

Every other Nightmare on Elm Street movie seems to have the token goth girl.

OH! Don't forget the gal from in Ghost Rider. :D

The latest movie I watched, Trailer Park of Terror, the main[-ish] character is a goth.

There really arn't tons of examples that I can name off the top of my head. Horror movies don't usually seem to have goth as the protagonists, mostly because it's more fun to watch preppies freak out.

There is a Chilean film called "Sangre Eterna", it is about gothic who play vampiric roll.., and one of them ends "upsetting" or something.., and he kills her friends because he thought they were real vampires o.0!!

freddy666 11-13-2008 05:22 PM

the craft and one scene in no reservations has a goth girl in it

chelseagirl 11-14-2008 11:28 AM

Let's see, as previously mentioned:

Sangre Eterna (LOVED this movie)
The Craft (I loved this movie when I was a teenager)
Home Room (pretty decent)
Gypsy 83 (I thought it was a cute movie)
Beetlejuice (loved this movie when I was a kid)
Book of Shadows (not horrible, but not a great movie either)
Butterfly Effect (never seen it)

I will add:

Hangman's Curse (terrible movie though)
NCIS (obviously not a movie, but oh well)
Blood Ties (another tv series)
Razorblade Smile (LOVE this movie)
My First Mister
Gingersnaps
Goth (TERRIBLE movie)
Hollywood Vamypr (TERRIBLE movie)
Bride of Chucky
Carrie (the remake)
Cradle of Fear
Saved
But I'm a Cheerleader (Liked this movie a lot)
Devil's Diary (stupid movie)
Strange Things Happen at Sundown (really low budget, but I liked it)
Blood: A butcher's tale
Queen Sized
Queen of the Damned
The Sublet
8mm
Strangeland
Dawn
Edison Death Machine
Automation Tranfusion (been a while since I've seen it, but I think some of the zombies were goths)
Doom Generation (been a while since I've seen it, but I think Rose McGowan's character was sort of gothy)
Love Bites

Well, that's all I can think of. :)

Ginger Snaps Back.

chelseagirl 11-14-2008 11:54 AM

Oh, I forgot:

White Oleander
True Blood (has had the occasional goth appearance, but if it follows the books, there should may some gothy characters appearing)

Toy Killer 11-14-2008 11:59 AM

The kid named UV in... um... that movie with the albino bald kid with eletric powers... I don't remember the title. It may have been Powder, but that sounds wrong...

Sky High has a girl that can turn into a hamster, and she looks goth-esque...

Butterfly effect, the main character's room mate.

freddy666 11-14-2008 03:24 PM

friday the 13th part 5

Why?
It may be a bit of a cliche, but you have to admit they are pretty damn goth. And so cute. :)

maromi12d3 11-14-2008 09:51 PM

I loved the craft. Cool movie when I was like 6.

Duane 11-15-2008 12:05 AM
