Challenge #2: Goth Movies

So, Darkstalker Girl decided to do a Goth blog challenge (read more about it here), and I'm participating. This time it's goth movies. There's a huge potential for cheese here, so I'm not including vampire movies, anything Tim Burton, or classic horror. That would be too easy, also covered quite a bit in the other blogs that were doing the challenge.

Challenge #1: 5 pieces that every goth wardrobe should have, regardless of style

So, Darkstalker Girl decided to do a Goth blog challenge (read more about it here), and I'm participating. It's time for actual content besides my posts on Lookbook, right? First challenge is 5 pieces that every goth wardrobe should have, regardless of style. "Style" I take to mean the different genres--rivethead, romantic, clubbing, cyber, grungy etc. Basically, I read this challenge as:

You want to be goth (in any sense of the word) right now. What 5 things (not hair/makeup/bodymods) should you get to make the transition? (read more after the jump)

Surprisingly, my fanciest dress is made of cotton/spandex. It's a dress my mother bought in...I think the 70s.
