Spermanent Record posted:Have you got any horror short story recommendations for Grade 7, 12 years olds? Maybe one of M.R. James' more kid focused stories like Lost Hearts, The Wailing Well, and A School Story might work. Very creepy and the first two are surprisingly brutal for their time. Somewhat antiquated language though seeing as James was a early 20th century antiquarian so I'm not sure how readable they are to modern kids even if some were intended to be told to 1920s Eton schoolboys.

Darthemed posted: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. Always loved these. My son picked up this https://www.amazon.com/Cabinet-Curi...ps%2C95&sr=8-10 at the library the other day and while I’ve only read one story it was very cool and he seems to be extremely into it. He’s nine but a high level nine in terms of things he’s been exposed to, it seemed aimed a little older than him to me.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:sorry but "the bastard son of a hundred maniacs" is one of the best descriptors in horror history It is, but it wasn't meant to be taken literally any more than saying (for example) Prometheus is the lovechild of the Alien franchise and Chariots of the Gods. It takes a special kind of idiot to decide that this means Erich von Daniken impregnated Dan O'Bannon.

The Meg 2 is exactly the movie you think it is. It feels like it time travelled here from 2003 in the best way. Deepest, bluest, Jason Statham's bald head is like a shark's fin.

Just realized we haven't heard a peep about Creepshow season 4 since it started filming like 2 years ago. I know AMC is a mess right now and if it's coming it'll be this fall, but I'm hoping it wasn't just memory-holed. It's an uneven show, but when it's great it's really great.

It got renewed a year ago quote:On October 30, 2019, the series was renewed for a second season.[3] On October 30, 2020, an animated special titled A Creepshow Animated Special was released.[4] On November 10, 2020, it was announced that a holiday special titled A Creepshow Holiday Special would premiere on December 18, 2020.[5] On February 18, 2021, the series was renewed for a third season, and the second season premiered on April 1, 2021. The third season debuted on September 23, 2021.[6] On February 10, 2022, the series was renewed for a fourth season. I wouldn't be worried unless we're still waiting on it a year from now. Season 2 and 3 both airing the same year is definitely an outlier for shows more than this kind of wait-time between season 3 and 4

I like the idea but mine was going to be set after Jason goes to hell and opens with a scene of a now homeless vagrant Charlie Conway having gone mad after witnessing the deaths of his team mates and coach in a freak tourbus accident gets killed whilst rollerblading around the city blowing his duck whistle, he wakes up to the voice of coach Bombay and the other ducks to find that in the afterlife he and the ducks have to face off in a hockey tournament for the good of mankind, unfortunately it’s hell-rules Hockey and a certain machete wielding goalie is out for blood….

On the topic of franchises.. focusing on the original movie from each franchise, which do you think are relatively weak or not all time classics? Like most films that kick off franchises are all time classics, that is why the studios kept chasing that dragon making more films. So Halloween, ANOES, The Exorcist, Hellraiser and Scream are examples of originals that are clear cut classicss IMO. Even though I am fond of it, I think the original Friday the 13th is a tier or two down from these although it does have that scene with Kevin Bacon going for it. (I saw Halloween, F13, and ANOES in the theaters as a teen during their original runs and had a great experience at all of them.) There often seems to be little correlation between the quality of the original film and the franchise it spawned. Hellraiser is a great example with an original that is one of the greats IMO but clearly one of the worst franchises past the second film.

F13 is where my mind goes when I think of an original movie in a franchise that is disproportionately lovely compared to it's cultural awareness. F13 is a pretty lame slasher.

There are definitely franchises where I prefer later entries over the original—I’d watch Exorcist 3 over the Exorcist any day—but not many where I can say the original didn’t launch the franchise for good reason—the Exorcist is a stone cold classic
