Dupieux rules, I need to check this out. I loved Rubber obviously, and Deerskin is also pretty great; if you haven't seen that definitely fix it, Jean Dujardin gets a jacket he likes

Not horror at all, but Mandibles and Keep An Eye Out are both loving great.

Don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but the Popcorn Frights festival has their virtual screenings open now. Haven't watched too many yet, but I did watch Abruptio a couple of nights ago, and holy poo poo. It's not strictly horror, but there are some harrowing moments in it, it's made with human-sized puppets, and Jordan Peele and Sid Haig do voices for it (amongst others). I highly encourage you all to check it out-- it's available through next Sunday, and it's wild.

Well, we'll see if they eventually manage to get a good balance of decent stories and decent wraparound. Usually they'll drop the ball on one of those.

What are you looking at?
Okay, here's a question.

I have [what I think is] an original Friday the 13th part VIII poster, the "I Jason New York" one. And at the bottom the release date is obviously a reapplied sticker. My issue is that I know the poster went through a bunch of revisions and the release date changed, so that may be the reason for the sticker if it is indeed an original. It could also be hiding a video release date or something else in order to appear original. The only way I could know is removing the sticker which would damage the poster. I just realized I don't have actually have a question.

It’s just down the road from me but I’ve been a bit lazy about going to anything. I’m more about their classic screenings, but the last one I went to (Sleepaway Camp) had a wasted guy yell out incoherent nonsense the entire time. People need to hold their poo poo together better.

Trying to emulate this look from Do-It-Yourself Monster Make-Up Handbook by Dick Smith (1965). Specifically only the eyes.



With a touch of the Sugar Hill (1974) zombies


For a Merman makeup loosely based on this old illustration


This is a work in progress of the eyes using Christmas decoration half-balls.

Earlier, failed, attempts revolved around drilling or punching holes through the half spheres but that caused the entire eye to fracture so I think the current method of using stickers to create reverse stencil irises might work.

Looking at their lineup and want to say you should :getin: for Beaten to Death (horror film) when it's available Friday and Sour Party (not horror film) when it's available Sunday. Two of my fav surprises of the year

Beaten to Death is an Aussie film that...gives the game away with its title really. Brutal film about a guy just having the worst luck of people he runs into
Sour Party is a comedy about two broke friends having the worst luck possible trying to reach a deadline to get an actual decent gift for one's sister's baby shower

First try shining various lights on the other side to see if there’s any silhouetting. You probably can’t read anything through that, but you could get lucky and it’s definitely the easiest way.

Cause then we’re talking different ways to remove the sticker, which means some risk. There are probably an array of solvents that could do it, but which is too complex a question for me.

If it were me, I’d get a miniature humidifier or whatever means you have of getting the absolute gentlest amount of steam and then try to get it off with a razor. Basically wet-shaving the sticker off.

If it’s sufficiently valuable, find an archival history or archaeology grand student and give them 20$. They tease apart 200 year old documents fused together with household cleaning supplies on the reg and are usually comically poor.

It’s also just that a lot of movies are being made by people who grew up in the 80s and 90s. This is a “problem” that will correct itself naturally when the people making films are not nostalgic for the 80s and 90s.

Cell phones are a pretty easy end around. They break, the batteries die, you accidentally leave them off, you drop them when you’re running or forget them when you’re fleeing and panicked. But certainly part of the whole nostalgia off the 80s and 90s is that there’s story trappings you have to adjust from those periods for cell phones. The people making these films don’t want to have to deal with the parents all having LoJack on their kids phones when they go on a spooky adventure. They could. But they don’t want to because that wasn’t part of their ideal story.

I think the rose-colored glasses effect about period music is even worse when it's some dipshit kid's t-shirt or posters in their bedroom. You're 13 years old in 1980, dude. Some production designer put that Joy Division poster there while you were begging mom for a ride to see REO Speedwagon or Bob Seger.

I think what's started to bug me about 80s and 90s movies is how filthy everything isn't.

It must be pretty tough to find shitbox Tempos and K-cars and Sunbirds that are only half-rusted instead of entirely returned to iron oxide, and I get that horror is generally pretty cheap to produce and nobody wants to spend the time on scattering period-correct styrofoam hamburger clamshells everywhere and stomping on gum until the sidewalks look like a fuckin Dalmatian, but I absolutely have started to notice the absence

I know that this is the only thing I ever talk about, but I just had a thought about the Senritsu Kaiki File series. Is it the best use of the series format of any horror movie series? Other horror movie series tend to start with an idea, and then future sequels try to do that idea again but bigger or in a new way or just the same again. But every Senritsu Kaiki entry adds more to the world, continues the story of our characters, slowly draws the shape of the horror, without ever over explaining or undercutting a previous entry.
