RenegadeStyle1 posted: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 get it occasionally, and I'll admit it's been a little while while. Most of my visual hallucinations are just whatever room im in is "twisted" and wrong. Audio hallucinations tend to be a metallic sound, like a coin rolling around, and usually laughter (both male and female)

The Dr. Satan stuff is the only part I like, love a good mad scientist gore set. I think it's the rest of the movie that is like an extremely irritating TCM2 impression.

Dr. Satan is kind of unceremoniously dumped into the movie but he's a very cool design. I like HO1KC quite a bit but more than any Rob Zombie movie except maybe 31 it's kind of a lot of great production design in search of a movie.

Speaking of TCM2, I recently re-watched it because all I could really remember of it was a hazy collection of insane scenes tied together by a shadow of a plot. It turns out I didn't actually forget anything and in fact I was remembering the film with perfect clarity. It's... pretty good?

dorium posted:well thats kinda hosed up and cool in my own head. I can see why that's not cool at all, but I find this stuff fascinating. Even though I don’t get full on paralysis really anymore I do still get nighttime auditory hallucinations. Never whispering though, its sometimes someone screaming my name but usually its just a loud cacophonous sound. I rewatched that doc after I posted earlier because I was up too early anyway (insomnia lol) and I forgot that the auditory stuff was a common aspect of it. Also I had forgotten how a lot of horror movies do use stuff from people’s paralysis descriptions like Freddy’s hat and the infamous sequence in Communion. Pretty neat documentary actually.

Basebf555 posted: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. If anything it makes me more upset that Zombie hasn't revisited the concept in the movies he's made since then.

Snooze Cruise posted:I defeated my sleep paralysis when I got a weighted blanket because it usually happen whenever i turn onto my back in my sleep and I don't move around as much now. The cure for sleep paralysis is making it so you can't move.......  Pope Corky the IX posted: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. I only like/remember 2 scenes from House, the opening murderclown bit and that suuuuuuuuuuper slow crane pullback when that one dude has the cop on his knees and is pointing a gun at his head and they just stand there for like 90 seconds. Having time to sit there and imagine what that wait must be like while you actually wait for the scene to end is pretty creative and effective IMO. But agreed Devil's Rejects is better overall, and aside from that and his first Halloween I haven't seen much else from Rob that I really enjoy. White Zombie and Hellbilly Deluxe are still pretty choice jams tho

That long crane shot is where you can see Rob Zombie come into his own as a director imo. I always forget the victim in that scene is Walton Goggins.

Like Uncle Boogyman said though, the production design on House of 1000 Corpses is also top notch. In terms of the technical aspects of being a filmmaker you can definitely see that Zombie had potential even if you don't enjoy the overall package. But I suppose people already knew that by then because he was known for creative and memorable music videos.

Retro Futurist posted:I'd say the only things that scare me in movies at this point are really oppressive terror that just doesn't let up, especially if it makes it hard to know what's actually going on. Jacob's Ladder, Hereditary, Mother, Killing of a Sacred Deer, that kind of thing. I've also always been real squeamish with dismemberment; cutting someone's head off doesn't bug me, cutting someone's hand off gives me the willies. I just watched Killing of a Sacred Deer, having glanced over it on Netflix so often due to the blurb making it sound like a generic stalker movie, and now I've got existential depression, thanks I'm squeamish with that stuff too. Quick kills, almost no matter how brutal, are fine. I think it's the same reason you don't see people mourn the dead in horror movies, because we're desensitized to killing, but not the psychological pain. Which gave Hereditary the extra punch.

Yeah I guess my main criticism of him is that by the time he started directing I think his aesthetic had lost a lot of the impact it had in 1992 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPNFVj-pISU

I think also when it comes to the kind of intense, visceral grief portrayed in Hereditary, it's far from a given that you're gonna have an actress on Toni Collette's level who can do that stuff believably. A lot of people can stand there at a funeral scene for a 10 second shot of them looking sad but what Collette did in Hereditary is Oscar-level stuff that doesn't come along very often, especially in genre films.

When you sit through each of his films in chronological order, they do show his growth as a director. Imagine telling people when he'd done Hot1K that he'd eventually be directing a Munsters movie and they wouldn't believe you.

Did he and Sheri Moon meet on the set of the Living Dead Girl video or were they already an item? I’m pretty sure it was their first artistic collaboration, anyway. Edit: Never mind, they go back to the White Zombie days. I wasn’t even right about it being their first collab, she designed costumes and did choreography for the live shows. She rules so much.

I'm someone who gets hallucinations with sleep paralysis, and I gotten weird pop culture poo poo before too like slenderman. It was bizarre because i was going through like, the physical reaction of just being absolutely terrified but a part of my brain was like "this is ridiculous, this is so dumb." The most reoccurring thing I got was like auditory hallucinations of an animal moving around, and me wanting to get up to find it but I can't move, and then a cat jumps on the bed and starts clawing me. The weird thing with the claw attacks is I would describe them as almost TV static? Takes No Damage posted:The cure for sleep paralysis is making it so you can't move....... Yeah a lot of people just put a pillow behind their back when they sleep so they don't roll over onto it and suddenly they don't get it nearly as often anymore. Its super weird being on your back triggers it for a lot of people, wonder what is up with that. Snooze Cruise fucked around with this message at 22:00 on Nov 4, 2021 |

Every time I’ve had sleep paralysis it’s always been during a nap after a big physical ordeal so I’ve always thought it was some obscure effect of mood on the sleep transition.

Not at all, because what I'm imagining has no Jason Sudeikis in it (I haven't seen Colossal but from watching the trailer and reading about it I'm having a hard time imagining how it's Lynchian in any form. I guess if you define Lynchian as "anything strange", but Lynch movies don't tend to be "a great deal of fun" as the New York Times called Colossal)

King Vidiot posted: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? the main issue with Dr Satan is there is not enough of him.

Police_monitoring posted:Every time I’ve had sleep paralysis it’s always been during a nap after a big physical ordeal so I’ve always thought it was some obscure effect of mood on the sleep transition. That makes sense, my understanding is sleep paralysis / walking is due to brain chemistry loving up. Normally your brain doesn't let your body move around when you dream, when it does you get sleepwalking. But sometimes your brain doesn't let your body move for a second even once you wake up, resulting in sleep paralysis. I've had paralysis a few times but they were minor enough I don't really remember anything about them other than feeling weird for a few seconds.
