Yea I didn't see TerrorVision as a kid, didn't have a nostalgia connection to it at all but it's really great. It was a standout a few years ago for one of my horror challenges, definitely a "where has this movie been all my life?" feeling when I saw it.

Speaking of Shudder they recently put The Great Gabbo on there despite the fact that it’s more of a early sound curiosity and not a horror movie. It’s weird that the original insane ventriloquist movie isn’t horror actually considering all the subsequent movies it seemed to inspire.

I liked TerrorVision, but it's not going down as one of my favourite fun 80s horror movies or anything. Making the characters into dopey archetypes is the point, but as a result I don't really care about them. I totally recommend it though. I saw Ted Nicolaou's name in the credits for Robot Jox and was like, hey, the Subspecies guy!

When I hosted a Spooky Night with TerrorVision, we had people over who weren’t regulars or familiar with my taste or the film, and loved it. They were excited to show it to others at the end of the night.

I just watched City of the Living Dead for the first time and the scene of the girl puking up all of her internal organs, which were apparently actually real veal intestines is one of the most hilariously gross things I’ve ever seen Also  at the story being set in New England on October 31 and not one person ever saying the word Halloween nor there being even a single decoration

Speaking of Shudder, is it worth the money now? I canceled after the Joe Bob thing, but I've got a little extra monthly income now and I'd like to give it another shot if it's actually got some good exclusives.

The new season of Creepshow is off to a huge bang. Worth it for a month to catch that new episode if nothing else (skip the earlier stuff unless you can lower your var significantly). Also they've made some solid docs so you can pad the month out with those.

feedmyleg posted:Here have some chunky: Glad to see that their planning on sticking with animatronics for the show, as opposed to the cheaper CGI-only option. Also kinda crazy to think that the cost of that has come down enough to make it economically feasible for television show budgets to be able to afford it; I believe at the time of its release, the animatronics in the original Child's Play were both the most expensive and the most comprehensive, in that Chucky was a fully realized animatronic character, which had never been done before.

I remember watching the Nu Image film Spiders a lot when I was a teenager. I don't know why, it wasn't very good if I recall. I just found it weirdly fascinating. The idea of giant spiders is loving terrifying but I haven't yet seen a truly scary rendition. I would love to see just a genuinely horrifying giant spider film.

It had decent timing for kills and decent ramping, and while it went a little too much into comedy overall, it still had some interesting scenes. I mean, much better than Lake Placid which is horribly paced, has around, what, two kills that aren't even interesting or fun, and doesn't ramp anything up and has a very weak finale as a comparison for another creature feature.

SyFy's gone there for Blood Drive and Happy! recently so I gotta assume Chucky would have the clout if Mancini wants it.

Just watched the first ep of new season of Creepshow and ehh. It's heart is still in the right place and it has its moments, but the plots are so super thin, and Nicotero just ain't the director to make it more interesting. It still doesn't feel like it has a firm identity.

Betty White is fine, but creature features where two people die 20 mins into the movie and then nobody else for the rest of the entire movie are not my cup of tea. Especially when the main other crocodilian movie before it has awesome scenes like kids being forced to jump off a diving board into a giant alligators mouth (or the one after having really good setup/kill direction by Aja). Only highlights it more.

We're destined to never get good alligator/croc movies again I'm afraid. I went to see a double feature of Crawl & Midsommar a few years ago when they both came out and yeesh. At least I saw Midsommar second. Talk about a Beast and the Beauty situation.

Lake Placid and Crawl are similar in that they're animal attack movies that have the confidence to not kill some random character off every ten minutes. So you have some people coming away from the movie complaining that there wasn't enough gator action but all in all I think they're better for it. Lake Placid especially feels like a throwback to when the movie would be like 90% people standing around talking about the situation and 10% creature stuff, because they didn't have the budget for anything more than that and you needed a strong cast to carry it. And that's really what Lake Placid is known for, the cast is one of the first things people will mention about it.
