Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

They should make a horror movie that's marketed like it's about sleep paralysis and maybe like a kid keeps seeing a sleep paralysis demon. And for like 75% of the movie that's all it is, until some kind of crazy BS happens and it's revealed that it's been Freddy the whole time.

If Robert Englund won't do it then just make him some unnamed stunt guy; have his face be like a squirming mass of flesh or make him a full on shadow person or whatever.

I feel like there's a lot of potentially great horror movie premises that are some form of "you slow-play things for the first half the movie and then SURPRISE it's actually a Jason/Freddy/Dracula/Godzilla/Predator movie" but unfortunately with modern media today it's almost impossible to keep something like that under wraps long enough to pull it off.

Robert Englund got the role in the first place because Wes Craven refused to cast the part with some unnamed stunt guy

Whatever I may feel about the film itself, it ruled a lot that Adam Wingard made a Blair Witch film (requel) but didn't let anybody not actively involved with its making know about it and didn't even let the SDCC viewers for it know about it until the title popped up onscreen

quote:

Prior to the film's premiere at the 2016 San Diego Comic-Con International, the fact that the film was a Blair Witch sequel remained a closely guarded secret,[10] as the film was shot under the title The Woods.[10] According to the film's writer, Barrett, the film's secrecy was done to prevent backlash among Internet commenters, who the filmmakers felt would react negatively to news of a reboot.[11]

Prior to the official premiere, Lionsgate went as far as to release a trailer for the film incorporating actual footage, while still keeping the film's lineage a secret.[10] The film was still publicly known as The Woods even at Comic-Con, prior to its first screening, with io9 reporting that the initial theater for the screening was filled with posters for the fake film. After the screening (during which audiences realized that the film was a sequel), all the promotional material in the theater was changed to reflect the film's actual title.[11]

Butt first, let's

Amityville is clearly a terrible brand but its definitely not a franchise in any meaningful sense of the word. I'll 100% agree with that. And yeah its much like the other public domain type stuff that just has tons of adaptions and interpretations because there's nothing stopping them.

I was like "why do I feel like I saw exactly that recently" and then I remembered The Invitation

I don't remember catching ads for it, the only reason I knew Dracula was involved was this thread. Ms Phy was completely in the dark but she figured out the vampire swerve pretty early

Also I caught a link to this somewhere with no explanation and it was good

I somehow went into 10 Cloverfield Lane without knowing the thing about it. I became slightly suspicious at the beginning but then forgot as things developed. I did the dog head tilt when the ending happened.

Have you got any horror short story recommendations for Grade 7, 12 years olds?

I'm thinking The Jaunt, to start them off with a bang (after editing out that line about dog semen wtf).

Something I don't have to check line by line for obscenity, but will still give them a good spook.

Bruce Coville’s Book of ____ (Monsters, Nightmares, Aliens, Ghosts, Magic, and Spine Tinglers) series are great for this. Each category has two books to it, and each book is a curated collection of short stories fitting the theme, with a nice variety of authors, though some of them do show up regularly. There’s contributions from Joe Lansdale, Jane Yolen, Terry Jones, Ray Bradbury, Michael Markiewicz, Neal Shusterman, and Al Sarrantonio (whose “Snow” still creeps me out), among others.

Yes that was in 3. My impression is people like the Nightmare films up to 3 and only hate them after that. Dream Warriors ws always the one on Cable when I was growing up.

Also I hope James from Dead Meat does a redone Kill Count/review soon for Nightmare cuz he's gotten so much better since those and he's redone Friday so why not the much shorter franchise.

The worst thing that the NOES franchise did was the terrible backstory for Freddy where his mother (trigger warning for SA)was a nun who was raped by 100 madmen, He worked better when he was just the neighbour who happened to murder children, that's far creepier. No reason behind why he's so evil, he just is like that.

and then that wasn't enough, so they had to add that he was also picked on in school (because the second graders somehow knew the 100 maniacs poo poo) and also abused by his foster father. Really dumb poo poo

Fanny Lye Deliver'd was one of the more interesting folk horrors i've seen lately, with a great third act, but it definitely didn't feel particularly "horror". an insanely tense drama

also the negative reviews for the MEG 2 just make me more and more excited
