One great little story about the making of From Beyond is that one of the FX guys basically tore a couple of fingers to tatters and continued working for a couple days, got checked into a clinic (they were in Spain, I think), and escaped out a window when they wanted to amputate.

I thought the pituitary gland stuff was pretty gross on it's own. Makes you want to touch your forehead to make sure everything is still good.

Ehud posted:Has anyone seen the movie We Are Still Here ? I liked it but it seemed to go on about 10 minutes too long and not really adhere to it's own rules. It was a great homage to 70s haunted house movies though and is worth a watch! More than the dolphins are worth watching anyway cardinals, bitch

From Beyond is batshit insane in the best way. I always want to watch it for Halloween, because no one has ever seen it or heard of it (or believe me when I describe it), but can never find a copy. It used to be on Netflix streaming years ago.

Castle Freak really does own. I watched it on suggestion from the Flop House, so if you enjoy it make sure you check out Head of the Family and the Invisible Maniac. (note: I'd say the Invisible Maniac is more softcore pornography and less horror, but he's still invisible). I really need to see From Beyond. Re-Animator killed at my halloween party last year and I've been meaning on doing a proper double feature with the two of them.

I just watched Sospiria and found it rather underwhelming. I feel like a piece of poo poo because everyone keeps saying that it's a masterpiece of the genre and I am probably totally wrong. Here's what I wrote about it in the Horror Movie Challenge thread: quote:While I liked most the horrors that I have watched, I have not actually a whole lot of experience with horror; I have in fact not watched a whole lot of staples of the genre. I intend to fix that over the course of this month. If anoyone could illuminate me on what exactly did I miss I would be really grateful.

 So this October I planned out a party for an October double horror feature I'm calling Paul Blob Mall Blob, during which we will watch two of the famous Blob movies, the 80's horror remake of The Blob and Paul Blart Mall Cop. In preparation for this grand event I've created a prediction sheet contest in which everyone predicts what "Paul Blob" (The Blob and Paul are being treated as the same character for the sake of the contest) will do in his double feature adventures; from how many ladies he'll fall in blob with to how many awkward silences (and silent screams) he'll create with his antics. I've also been creating Paul Blobs to print and stick around the house for this momentous occasion as well as a Paul Blob figurine as a trophy for the winner.   ..I feel as though I may have gone too far. But maybe not far enough. Bert of the Forest fucked around with this message at 22:43 on Oct 2, 2015 |

A lot of the appeal of Suspiria is the visuals, its not known for having all that compelling a plot. You said you don't have much experience with horror, I think if you watch more and more of it you'll find very few films that look anything like Suspiria. Its fairly unique in that way.

Yeah it's definitely casting a wide net but if you're up for some older stuff the 70's Invasion of the Body Snatchers is on Netflix, and that movie still creeps up on me to this day. Course the chances that y'all haven't already seen it might be slim. In which case The Babadook is a great one for the slow build suspense as well.

Thanks for the recommendations, I think we are going to check out The Babadook. if that doesn't go well though, we'll probably check out the Scream Stream. It looks like that could be pretty fun.Watrick posted:Invasion is no longer on Netflix. I remember watching it in high school and loved it. it sucks it's not on Netflix anymore. My girlfriend hadn't seen it before and would have loved to show her it.

The whole style of giallo in general just clicked with me right from the beginning, I fell in love with the first Argento I saw within 5 minutes. It may just be one of those things that doesn't appeal to some people at all.

I've watched some horror in the past few days, though I'm not doing the challenge because I doubt I'll make it to 31 this month. 1408 was better than I remembered, probably because the Scream Stream had the theatrical ending which I'd never seen, but now vastly prefer. I really like the reality-breaking aspects of the room and how it just fucks with him the whole time. Also on the Scream Stream, Final Destination was WAY worse than I remember. Still like the concept, but death just comes off as mean in this one instead of an uncaring force of nature. And really, there's no reason death shouldn't just kill everyone via blood clot in their brain if it can creep water across the floor and set up Rube Goldberg contraptions. I think the 2nd one was a perfect mix of fun and grim. I watched Willow Creek and didn't get much out of it. The long take in the tent was about the only effective and suitably intense scene (and also technically impressive since it's something like 20 minutes and mostly done with sound). The rest was nothing happening, and the shot of the woman before the end just raises more questions than answers, one of which being "that's it?" I get what they were going for, but being only 70-something minutes there easily could've been more to it. Pretty generic found footage aside from the tent scene, and even that's been done to a degree.

Yeah, the challenge is just for fun. My personal challenge is to not gently caress up while streaming any of the movies. I gotta say, I didn't expect anyone to catch the theme of this week-end's Scream Streams. Jenny Angel is a smart whip.
