For a good while I tended to dance around it like I'd say "I enjoy rewatching House of 1000 Corpses more." or "House of 1000 Corpses is more fun" but since we're putting it all out there I'll just come clean and say House of 1000 Corpses is better.

He plays for the dreamers that forgot how to dream, and the lovers that forgot how to love.
I hate in scary clown movies where the clown has actually scary makeup, like in the IT reboot. The point of a clown and coulrophobia is that they are supposed to exude joy and innocence because of their job, so the disconnect comes in their behaviour seeming counter to that. Seeing someone with a massive grin literally painted on their face breaking down into tears or a violent rage is rather creepy because of how they look (they're supposed to be happy), so if they already have scary paint then it spoils the effect because you EXPECT evil out of them. Tim Curry's Pennywise looks enticing and colourful, he looks like someone a child might be convinced to trust. The reboot one does not.

Basically it relies on the idea that there's nothing sadder than a failed joke. If someone is actively trying to make you laugh and failing, that's a level on discomfort on the level of any jigsaw trap.

Pennywise is only trying to lure in like some little kids though and he does tone it down at those times. His whole thing is to gently caress with people and scare them and I’d argue that the hosed up clown is more effective at that with the old kids.

Besides Tim Curry’s Pennywise was always intended to be more hosed up. It was Curry himself that hated the prosthetics and convinced them he could just make it work with his performance. Which of course he did but that’s because Curry is brilliant.

The first three there have all done segments in the V/H/S series, as have Ti West and Joe Swanberg, who acted in You're Next which was made by Adam Wingard+Simon Barrett, who also made multiple V/H/S segments...other notable V/H/S creators include Nacho Vigalondo (Timecrimes), the Radio Silence team (Ready or Not/Scream 5+6), Timo Tjahjanto (May the Devil Take You/The Night Comes For Us), and Gareth Evans (Apostle, The Raid series)

so yeah there's a lot of ~mumblecore~/found footage crossover and those guys have their hands in everything these days. I'm not too read up on how Peele fits into everything, but this does remind me that photography/filmmaking are prominent element in at least two of his movies, which ties into the theme that every B/M joint beats over your head of the creation and recording of meaning (whether through film or other means)

also Resolution is literally a found footage movie

Peele of course is a sketch comedy guy, "Adult Swim" type horror has its proudest exponent in the form of Ari Aster, who came to infamy with a short film that's basically a Loiter Squad segment.

I actually enjoy The Evil Dead more than Evil Dead.

It has a kind of amateur exuberance that many have compared to The Legend of the Stardust Brothers, July's movie of the month.
