It has probably been mentioned but the two Kolchak movies and the series are entirely investigative horror.

It’s early 70s and it’s schlocky at times, but it’s also great fun. I have all of it on DVD and it’s a traditional watch every spooky season.

so I had been aware of it for a while now but finally got around to watching the Team Fortress 2 fan film Emesis Blue and it ended up being very effective as a horror film on its own merits and not just as a fan film(not to mention how impressive it looks visually and for how long it is for something made in Source Film Maker which to say is a temperamental program is an understatement), definitely recommend giving it a watch;

The Borderlands (aka Final Prayer)!!

Found footage investigation. Good movie!

If you do Amazon Video you can get a 7 day free trial of one of their add-on channels that has the movie. Make sure you search for it until Final Prayer though, that's the name Amazon lists it under.

I remember The Empty Man being an investigation film for like half its runtime. However, I felt that element detracted from the creepy supernatural aspect, and then it spent so long being an investigation film that when it circled back to being a creepy supernatural film, it didn't work anymore.

Your mileage may vary.

Heads up, From Beyond and Dagon were added to Shudder recently. I know most people have seen From Beyond by now but it's not always been the most accessible film so it being on Shudder is a good opportunity.

I like in Hellraiser 2 when Julia gets yanked completely out of her skin. And you see her skinless body kinda wiggling around as it gets dragged back into the Labyrinth. Good stuff.

Hellraiser (2022) was the first time in a long time I actually got squicked out, and it was at the final degloving over the bottomless well.

If full skinning is on the table, Pyramid Head just whipping a woman's skin off in a single pull is the high point of that Silent Hill movie.

Imo the silent hill movie is defensible, to a degree. The aesthetic and vibe is very good. Soundtrack is from the games and is good. It's just most of the other stuff. I never saw the 2nd one but I'm cautiously optimistic for the upcoming 3rd

Sorry, I'm quite busy at the moment.
Twilight of the Dead, George A. Romero's planned zombie movie finally coming to life.

quote:

Deadline brings us the latest update, reporting that the film now has “backing from Roundtable Entertainment and a planned late 2023 start date in Puerto Rico.”

“The George A. Romero estate is teaming up with LA-based financier-producer Roundtable,” Deadline reports, with Twilight of the Dead being positioned as the “final installment” in Romero’s ‘Dead’ franchise. The original treatment for the planned project was penned by Romero himself, but Joe Knetter, Robert Lucas, and Paolo Zelati tackled the actual screenplay.

Romero followed seminal zombie film Night of the Living Dead with Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, Land of the Dead, Diary of the Dead and Survival of the Dead. The upcoming Twilight of the Dead takes the zombie terror to a fresh location: a tropical island.

Twilight of the Dead is said to “delve into the dark nature of humanity from the perspective of the last humans on earth who are caught between factions of the undead.”

Deadline also notes, “The production team on Twilight of the Dead, which includes the late filmmaker’s last wife and estate manager Suzanne Romero, is in negotiations with a director, and was in talks with cast before the SAG-AFTRA strike hit. They are applying for an interim agreement.”

I inherited my grandma's dining room table and chairs. They're great quality solid wood furniture and I'm happy to have a connection to grandpa and grandma, but... I always wanted a full set of well-maintained Cesca chairs and now I'll never ever have a need to, and that bums me out just a tiny bit.

Yknow, these ones, from every single tv show and movie about a family with hip or retro sensibilities:


(Full disclosure, my family had a set of "knockoffs" in the 80s, so it's more that I'm nostalgic for those and find it funny that film has settled on the Cesca as the set dressing of choice. I bought a dogshit pair for like 5 bucks when I moved out that's still in my basement)

The only chairs I've noticed in a movie are the chairs Francis Dollarhyde had in Manhunter. Where did he get them? His whole house was decorated oddly though, I think he had a giant print of the moon on one wall.

That's a good choice because Scream has always had a sense of humor except the last one.
