H110Hawk posted:Hello horror thread which moves terrifyingly fast. I've been rekindling my enjoyment of horror lately with a podcast my wife suggested called Ruined which is quite funny and I suggest it. I started by listening to some classics from when I started watching horror at far too young an age as a semi-reliable way to see boobies. Now I'm re-watching some of those movies and now watching new ones I've never seen previously. So far OG Candyman has been my favorite re-watch, I don't think I had seen it since I was 13ish. My tolerance of gore has dropped substantially since I was a kid, and my ability to see anything happen to someones eyes is negative infinity. (So like, Terrifier is right out.) If you get to the end of your list and want some recommendations, just ask and you'll get plenty. Let us know your thoughts on Texas Chainsaw Massacre too, always fun to hear someone's reaction to that movie.

So far I have rewatched a smattering of Friday the 13th, candyman, hellraiser (original), hellraiser (remake). The Mist and Rosemary's Baby were first time watches, and my wife even watched the mist with me. She's not into horror at all but has found she loves suspense via Yellowjackets which is far scarier than either of us thought she could do. Next up is The Babadook, The Visit, and Funny Games. I may have seen the latter, but tbd. All based on the Ruined episodes. They're really fun.

I blind watched Roger Corman's The Raven last night and it ruled. I was not expecting a comedy or a young Jack Nicholson going crazy and it was a great time.

Yea if you want Price just Priceing it up and turning the Price dial up to 11, The Raven is an underrated option. It's not on most of the short lists you'll find for Price recommendations but it has some all-time good stuff in it.

It rules so much, I saw it recently and was similarly surprised at how it's a Mel Brooks-esque horror-comedy a decade before Young Frankenstein featuring some of the biggest horror names of the time. The finale being a wizard duel (which I would later find out inspired several Dungeons & Dragons spells such as Magic Missile) followed by an exploding castle was such an unexpectedly hilarious delight. It's great that it keeps the awesome gothic atmosphere of Corman's other Poe films to start, too. Vincent Price is having so much fun all throughout.

I’ve been going through it and it’s a treasure trove of actors that were popular in the 90s and actors that would become popular later. He looked like that in his X-Files episode too, except he cried a bunch and died in the first fifteen minutes (That was the one with the two teenage girls who went crazy, and Mulder and Scully were grouchier than usual at eachother, all because of a planetary alignment)

I'm making this post for me rather than any of you: I spent the last few weeks trying to remember the name of the horror movie where the guy is hiking alone in the wilderness and then randomly a face peeks through his tent flap in the middle of the night and it's horrifying, anyway, that movie is called The Interior, which I only know because my Plex screensaver tossed a photo of it up and I was like, THAT WAS IT. So that was it.

I had to check to confirm whether the title implied the BC Interior, and yes I go camping by myself in BC at least once a year, so I definitely need to see this E: apparently shot on Saltspring Island and nowhere near the Kootenays, so that's good for my state of mind Phy fucked around with this message at 19:52 on Aug 22, 2023 |

I don't think there's a better time capsule horror movie than 1999's House on Haunted Hill. Even without having told you the year, I could just say it starred Ali Larter, Taye Diggs, and Chris Kattan, and you'd know exactly when this movie was made.

Semi related A lot of people compared Malignant to giallo, which I get (leather gloves, murder mystery, strange murder weapon, incompetent cops) but from an aesthetic standpoint it owes far far more to turn off the Millennium films like House on Haunted Hill, 13 Ghosts, and Ghost Ship. The gritty desaturated look, the 90s alt-rock as a leitmotif, the edgy nu-metal esque killer. Wonderful stuff

It's a pretty great "what if" for if Hennenlotter had an insane budget in 1999 and full creative control.

Been going through the Bill Rebane collection I blind bought for my partner (who is from Wisconsin) and after two absolutely incomprehensible entertainments, we landed on The Demons of Ludlow. Don't get me wrong, it's still incomprehensible, but it also kicks major amount of rear end with genuinely cool low budget atmosphere, some fun jumpscares, and evil pilgrims eating people alive. When it isn't kinda cool it's extremely funny. There's a flying haunted piano! Well worth jumping into if your vibe is low budget regional schlock. And the ending rules.
