Finally saw Talk to Me and I'd say I looked it more than Cobweb and Boat Dracula combined. The performances were all superb and I left feeling excited about what they do with the sequel. Give me more of the other side, that brief little glimpse was terrifying.

A major credit to Carpenter considering the movie was filmed in May in California and they had to spread fake leaves around to set the scene.

I just remembered that when I was 14 I took my first girlfriend to see the TCM remake in theaters. The theater for once gave a poo poo about IDs, so we only got into it because I recognized a coworker from the make-up/costume store and she lied and said she was my mom.

I can not remember the name of the coworker, nor the girlfriend, because that was over 20 years ago and I’m busy crumbling into dust right now.

Commemorate the anniversary of a movie you like. Not the anniversary of a bunch of real people being real murdered so you can hoot and holler at a version of it.

In this vein, the opening of Halloween 4 is one of the most evocative representations of the season, and in only like a minute.

The movie is totally fictional, it's really not based on any specific crimes, even if some ideas were inspired by Ed Gein. Like, there were never any teenagers who came across Ed Gein's house and got murdered by him, nothing like that ever happened.

I mean there's no doubt that the opening narration is genius and for something that only lasts 30 seconds or however long it is, it really boosts the movie to another level imo.

Just watched The Woman in Black, currently watching the remake. The first was solid, if a bit lacking in tension. So far I really like the style, tone, and mood of the remake, which is about 80% of what I'm here for anyway, plus Radcliffe has a great screen presence, but about 30 minutes in and it's quite clear to me that this film's primary problem is just how little it trusts its audience. It's all so obvious.

In the first 10 minutes it really hammers (heh) home that his wife is dead and has left him in unending grief—but not only that, we have to see her death in flashbacks. Instead of him flipping through papers and seeing death certificates, only to later understand their true relevance, we have to scan across them and see that a child drowned in the marshes and linger on it. Then he has to flip over and look at the drawing his child made him, just to drive the personal connection home. We can't just hear the carriage accident in the mists, we have to see flashbacks there, too. Even the intro of the three little girls jumping out the window feels like it doesn't trust the audience to be interested in a slow burn.

I actually think most of the story tweaks so far are quite interesting—making him a widower who is on his last chance with his place of work is a different angle to explore, rather than a bright-eyed young family man at the beginning of his career. It's one of those tweaks that makes a remake feel like it could tread in slightly different territory without having to change everything or retread everything. But the execution is just a bit off. I like the addition of the spiritualism angle quite a bit, though.

Still, a nice Other than Sleepy Hollow, anything else from the past 30 or so years channel the Hammer vibe as effectively?

I associate Bram Stoker's Dracula with autumn even though it's not specifically a fall movie. It feels like Halloween.

Okay, finished The Woman in Black remake. It's good.

Overall, it's an improvement on the first adaptation. It adds some welcome layers and depth, then cranks the atmosphere up to 11, and the ending is really good. It just needed a little more patience and restraint to put it over the top into a timeless home run.

Honestly, this is one of those films where a fan edit could improve it immensely. It's all just a few trims here and there, pulling back some of the earlier ghost appearances be more shadows and questions than obvious apparitions, killing the unnecessary jump scares, and overall trusting the audience's intelligence just a little bit more.

I have the same general association with pretty much any gothic horror and yea Bram Stoker's Dracula is one of the best. It was also a consistent presence on cable in the 90s during the Halloween season.
