Okay. I need to track down a specific awful B-horror film. I saw it about 11 years ago on Netflix streaming. There were no actors of note in it. The plot of the movie was essentially that a bunch of hookers were gathering up at a house for a Christmas party. But a zombie Santa attacks, although the zombie Santa behaves more like an intelligent predator than just a rando Zombie. It has an iconic scene where one of the guys is taking a poo poo out the window, the zombie santa walks up, sticks his hand up his bum, and kills him by pulling his intestines out through his anus. I need this for a bad movie night. Please goonie-wan, you're my only hope.

Fun fact, the person behind the make-up is Bonnie Aarons, who eventually went on to become The Nun from the Conjuring films! sigher posted:Looking for a horror film that was recent and I think I caught on Shudder or Amazon Prime, but it was a couple being terrorized at night in a remote house in the UK country-side. I think eventually they're killed about half-way through the movie, however the film jumps back in time and it turns out that the initial couple that's being tormented are lovely thieves and the people they robbed that evening are just coming after them to get revenge. I'm going to keep dredging this post up because it's coming up to 3 years and I still can't find it. Due to the synopsis it's basically impossible to search for.

There's a documentary that came out sometime between 2000 and 2010 about a guy who lived in an apartment where he filmed himself 24/7 with remote cameras. This is not 'In The Bathtub of the World' or 'We Live in Public'—I remember the DVD for this movie having a courier type font, green text on black. I think that was an early internet thing where people could watch the footage, but I can't remember. Edit: Nevermind, found it—Wide Awake (2006) codyclarke fucked around with this message at 14:43 on Aug 10, 2023 |

An old kung fu/exploitation movie, where the hero was a super hero of sorts. The film ends with him pulling a ball or something from his cowl and throwing it at the villain, who dies instantly. It then immediately goes THE END.

Jimmy Wang Yu plays a superhero-ish character and battles Jackie Chan (as the villain!) on some wooden pillars at the end. Jackie traps him, but then Jimmy pulls out the titular killer meteor (just a round, studded ball on a stick) which leads to Jackie dying instantly from a vaguely presented meteor shower.

I got one that I think is going to be easy. When I was a child there was this trailer that I saw a lot because it was either on one of our VHSs I watched a lot or was on a lot of VHSs. The only part I remember is they’re getting ready to execute someone in the electric chair and that song that goes “tiiiiiiiiime is on our side, yes it is” is playing

Elias Koteas plays the guy in the chair, iirc. I really wanted to see it because it seemed like it was based on Harlan Ellison' Mephisto in Onyx. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JC-ykURLzSg

Oh poo poo, this has shaken loose another childhood execution scene memory. I must seen it in the mid 90s, no clue the context. A guy is getting set up in the electric chair, and they’re putting tape Xs over his eyes. It cuts to the people watching and there’s one guy who is visibly very excited to see the execution. That’s all I got.

How about Switching Channels with Burt Reynolds and Kathleen Turner? Ned Beatty is very enthused by the chance he might be the person among three to be the executioner in the blind panel. That said, I think it was a hood and not tape. It's on Tubi if you'd like to check. Probably around the 2/3rds mark. A really fun and overlooked screwball comedy if you like them. 1:10:30 should get you there. Apparently an adaptation of The Front Page. I'm so uncultured.

The tape is a non-negotiable part of this memory, it was definitely tape put on the eyes. And the shot of the spectators was about enjoying watching it. I think that's why it stuck with me, the technical detail of the tape and the idea of people enjoying watching someone die gave child me an incredibly strong sense that this was something I Shouldn't Be Watching.

I don't have any strong memories of the people carrying out the execution, but they might have just not been a focus of the shot

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Faces Of Death? Against my better judgement I googled Faces of Death execution scene and it doesn't seem quite right? There's no reaction shot. But I'm going off childhood memory so unless someone else is able to pull an execution scene with taped over eyes out of a hat, I think I'll have to accept it was this warped by childhood perception and time. How the heck did I see a clip from Faces of Death when I was like 7 years old?
