Drunkboxer posted:It’s a weird one. That self groping chest prop is hard to forget. I don't know how that chest groping thing was done, was it a dummy torso? They got their monies worth on it but it was loving gross. There is anxiety inducing music that plays during every attack which frightens the poo poo out of me, too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7W24CgR62M https://youtu.be/T7W24CgR62M Yeah great shout about Gerald's Game. Have you seen the Nightmare documentary about sleep paralysis? It wasn't too bad and it's a super interesting subject. M_Sinistrari posted:If we're talking the one with Barbara Hershey, that was based on an actual alleged paranormal incident of Doris Bither's being attacked and raped by some sort of poltergeists. Investigators did go out to investigate, did note some poltergeist activity in her house. Modern analysis into her case points to sleep paralysis which does explain a lot, but not all of it like specific injuries she suffered. The film does a pretty good job of offering alternative psychological explanations which makes the film feel kind of like a proto Nightmare on Elm Street; where you're not sure what could be a dream or not - at least until the big stupid ending. Yeah they make a big deal about it being based on a true story with cards at the beginning and the end.

Every time 1,000 Corpses comes up I remember that I knew a guy in college I knew with a Captain Spaulding tattoo on his thigh, and apparently when he met Sid Haig, dude was like, "Hahaha... you really shouldn't have done that dude!"He seemed really proud that he had creeped out Sid Haig.

Captain Spaulding is a definitely a memorable character. I mean I wasn't a fan of House of 1000 Corpses but Spaulding is good.

I'm glad they didn't go the predictable route and have Devon figure out immediately who and what Chucky is, or have already heard of Charles Lee Ray in the first episode. I could've seen a hack writer having Devon geek about about Jake having an original Good Guy doll and then telling Jake the story really early in the series.

The effects were done by Stan Winston. If I remember rightly from an interview, it was a dummy torso that compacted internally for the invisible hands. And I agree the ending was stupid. From what I remember from the book, she does go to a facility for treatment, but it's implied that the entity followed her there.

I have a 20lb weighted blanket and it just makes me hot and sticky. I def defeated my sleep paralysis by practicing lucid dreaming. Or taking like 30mg of THC.

The mean girls subplot was probably more fun than plot A much of the time. Fairly straightforward for Edgar Wright genre wise. Baby Driver had that too though Lot of homages to Repulsion was a little weird the way they "developed" John though. A lot of similar complaints about Joseph in BD

It did with several people I know I want to see it but I've avoided it because of this, I really don't want to experience sleep paralysis.  I sometimes get that thing as I fall to sleep where I hear someone whispering in my ear and it freaks me out so I don't want to step further down that particular rabbit hole. Which I guess makes this documentary the first horror film I've actively been too scared to watch.

It did with several people I know I’ve seen it and I remember going into it pretty interested but was ultimately disappointed in it. I used to get sleep paralysis as a kid: I saw the shadowy figure in the corner, felt the whole body fear, struggled to scream, the whole thing. It just kind of went away on its own after I was 14 or so but I had a reoccurrence of it recently when I took too much melatonin. I had no idea it could be triggered by films. I don’t remember much about the doc except that I remember feeling like it didn’t land the imagery right for me personally, but that dude standing in the corner in Geralds Game really nailed it imo. I would really like to see a movie that uses that kind of thing even more, it’s really wild seeing something plucked directly from your old nightmares on screen. I may throw the doc on today after work since I don’t remember it very well, maybe I’ll like it better this time.

Yes, it's "House of a Thousand Corpses". Seeing it written that way makes me read it as literally "House of a One Thousand Corpses". (unless that's what you meant, I'm confused now)

Never thought about that until now but yea it's weird that nobody ever says House of One Thousand Corpses, which is the actual title. If someone said their favorite horror movie was House of 1000 Corpses I'd definitely still have respect for their opinions(it's a really good movie) but I'd also assume they were a younger person who needs to go back and watch some more stuff from the 60s, 70s, and 80s.

Maybe I'll catch some flak for the Dr Satan stans, but I really hated the entire Dr Satan subplot/MacGuffin in Ho1kC. He just didn't add anything to the movie, and while the rest of the movie gets pretty wild and cartoony I thought his whole design was just a little too over the top? Just a skeletal dude with rusty medical equipment living in a hobbit hole in the ground? Really? Why does he live out there in the middle of the Texas desert, how do the Fireflies know him, why didn't they at least build an add-on to their house and let him experiment there if they're such good pals? Did he live there by coincidence and they just stumbled across him, are they related?

I get sleep paralysis probably 3 or 4 times a month on average (but can go months without it happening) and I've never actually seen any hallucinations other than hearing weird poo poo sometimes. The only single visual hallucination I have is once when my son was a baby I saw him turn around smile evily at me. I do have a lot of false awakenings though.

I still really like Devil's Rejects but House of 1,000 Corpses bored the poo poo out of me when I saw it in the theater and I fell asleep trying to watch it again a few months later. But then again I don't care for the majority of the rest of what Zombie's done cinematically.

Exactly, the reveal of Dr. Satan makes the scope of the movie feel a lot bigger, as if you've only just scratched the surface of what may be going on there. Like, you could do a whole movie without any of the Fireflys where some people stumble onto Dr. Satan's lab years later and his various experiments are still down there along with god knows what else.
