I’m a big fan of electronic scores in horror movies. It Follows has some great music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrqS96JxWVA And the score to the Maniac remake is a favorite too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4eooP5Ouz4 and of course anything John Carpenter does rules

I liked Cobweb up until the disastrous last five minutes, but goons should consider watching it anyway for the absolute series of swerves it throws out. The progression of Evil parent movie -> Ghost kid movie? -> Naw, evil parent movie -> Oh poo poo, evil kid movie -> IS THAT A SPIDER WOMAN? is hilarious. e: It also has a bunch of teenagers getting loving wrecked (I'm not spoiling that because it should be a selling point of any horror movie) and it gives you this:

CelticPredator posted:That being said the ones that stand out kick rear end. Hereditary is an all timer, in that you can hear it in a meme and laugh but still find it haunting. Annihilation is also great too. Colin Stetson (Hereditary, Color Out of Space, The Menu) is off the chain and he's honestly half the reason why I was looking forward to the Uzumaki anime

I went to go rent In the Mouth of Madness on YouTube and it was free. If it's true for me, I hope it is true for you as well.

I liked all the music in Talk to Me, the song that opens it has a lot of energy and the perfect "house party but something hosed is going on" vibe, it used Sia's Chandelier perfectly, the Edith Piaf remix in the 'montage' scene well matched the mix of old and new in that scene, etc., the ending credits song didn't leave a huge impression on me but thought it was fine, and the needle drops overall were good

The first half to two-thirds of Mouth of Madness are absolutely peak Carpenter, can go toe-to-toe with any of his other stuff. God I wish he worked with Sam Neill more.

Gyro Zeppeli posted:It's between owning this or a replica Lament Configuration. Curiousity would get the better of me eventually. If you go the Lament Configuration route, research before buying. I used to know a couple guys who'd make high end replicas (mahogany & brass) and they'd talk about the cheaply done ones that would end up warping and peeling depending on the environment they're in.

Martman posted:That does sound important. Have any sites to show us? It's been decades since we talked. But I knew them as ToyMaker and Pyramid Gallery on the old Hellbound Web forums. Their work as I remember was on the pricey side, but was the sort of thing you'd put behind glass on a mantlepiece. Toymaker's site https://www.hellraiserbox.net/index.html#intro Pyramid Gallery's site (I think) http://www.pyramid-gallery.com/index.html#1749 I'd be very buyer beware with what's on Etsy, and I heard the Neca one was prone to peeling. The big things were to be mindful of dryness and humidity since both could play hell with the materials, same with dust, kinda like how the Book of the Dead editions of Evil Dead 1 & 2 tended to disintegrate after a while. ToyMaker often recommended getting a bell dome display for one's boxes.

Imagine completing a knockoff configuration and this happens: The Priest shows up with a guy in a standard Gimp suit Priest: That tracksuit makes you look fat. Victim: Wait, what? I thought you were supposed to give a gift of sensation or power or some poo poo? Priest: Look, I'm the Hellraiser Judgement priest. If you want to be torn apart for eternity you need the Clayton or Bradley ones, the only thing I'm able to hurt is your feelings. Best I can do for power? 300 extra people in your Scentsy downline. Sorry... That's what you get for getting a plastic Lament configuration from the Forbidden Planet store... Also unironically, a merchandise thing that I'd love would be a replica Millenium Puzzle from the Yu Gi Oh anime. That look like it would be fun to assemble.

After seeing the trailer for The Dive, I wonder: does that particular subgenre have a name? Stuff like that, 127 Hours, Fall, The Shallows etc. Cuz I put forward "situation horror".

Gyro Zeppeli posted:After seeing the trailer for The Dive, I wonder: does that particular subgenre have a name? Stuff like that, 127 Hours, Fall, The Shallows etc. Cuz I put forward "situation horror". I kind of like "situation horror." I think this is at the very least a sister genre to a conversation thread from a few days ago: Jedit posted:Best horror movies where the vast majority of the film takes place in one room, go. Crescent Wrench posted:This is good a time as any to bring this up, but I absolutely love movies where characters are facing a very defined situation/set of circumstances/etc. and have to deduce the rules and use logic and strategy to survive. These are typically horror/thriller/survival movies, but I guess they don't have to exclusively fall into that for me to enjoy them. Exam and Circle are two examples that got me thinking. The Cube series, of course. The Platform. Coherence. Triangle becomes something in this vein. Devil (the elevator one). Frozen (the ski lift one). You can be pretty loose with this definition, though. I think a very early example for me was Night of the Living Dead (being trapped in the house, figuring out how to fortify it, plans to find a vehicle, plans in case of a breach, etc.) Fall is a great example that I could have listed in my initial list as well. (I mean, it's not a great movie, but it sure fits the criteria.) Keep the examples coming!

Chris James 2 posted:Tickets booked for tomorrow. Triple feature of Talk To Me, Demeter, and Meg 2 After the long day I'd had I decided near the end to not go through with Meg 2, I'll save that for VOD As for everything else: - Talk To Me was incredible, currently my 4th fav horror of the year (1-3 is Beau Is Afraid, Soft Liquid Center, and Enys Men), and that ending is an all-timer in general for me. Extremely hype for the prequel and the sequel now - Last Voyage of the Demeter isn't my least favorite Andre Ovredal film, that's still Mortal, but while I still liked it it is close. Javier Botet's Dracula is really creepy and we don't get enough of it, but also this is 2 full hours of what's literally 30 pages of a book, so we also get too much in general. Felt pretty stretched, they gave away most of the ending in the first scene even if you hadn't already read those 30 pages, so there was only so tense you could be left by what remained for this "story". But again, I liked it because of what it had despite all that; this Dracula is more memorable than the one Nicolas Cage showed off in Renfield this year (and he's a more intimidating poo poo-talker too, turns out!), there's beautiful atmosphere, there's still some effectively tense moments, and it has one of the better/more traumatic recent first revealings of a vampire in sunlight (I've admittedly been a sucker for those things, when done well they're iconic. This isn't on the level of 30 Days of Night or Midnight Mass but it's aiming for that level and closer than most get) - I saw a preview for Kenneth Branagh's next Poirot film, A Haunting in Venice. I thought Death on the Nile completely undid the goodwill Murder on the Orient Express gave me, and the cast announcements were underwhelming, but it actually looks interesting. Might wait for the VOD to check it out but either way, hoping this wins me back over on Poirot

I think that gets confusing because “survival horror” is also a horror video game genre that contains, like, Resident Evil, Dead Space, Fatal Frame, The Last of Us etc.
