I don't care how much more sense it makes the other way, every time I watch a vampire movie I can't help but imagine that vampire fangs are weird little hollow blood straws.

Baron von Eevl posted:I think the Judas thing is all Craven. Craven just "executive produced" to have his name out on it as a favor to the writer/director, who was his longtime editor Patrick Lussier. Lussier wrote it, oddly enough, with a dude who was the 2nd unit director on Nightmare 2. That guy would go on to be one of the producers on the Pulse remake, which Craven originally wrote (w Vince Gilligan) and had planned to direct before the Weinsteins screwed him over.

I'mma go ahead and say Dracula 2000 is good B Movie fodder. I rewatched it and while not great it at least goes for some interesting changes to the Dracula mythology that overall adds more than it takes away. Its got some great young actors in it with Gerard Butler being a stand out. You've got Christopher Plummer playing Van Helsing and that's really good. It's pretty bloody. Other than some bizarrely placed Vampire Kung Fu its action is pretty decent. Overall on re-evaluation I can recommend it simply because the new mythology is pretty great addition.

Audibled into The Burrowers, and that is a bleak loving movie. Like, The Searchers was rough and meditative but this one is like, almost gleefully sadistic with its themes.Xiahou Dun posted:You should watch Savageland. The found “footage” is photographs, and the movie also rules. e: page 2  Shrecknet posted:Agree that found footage sucks, both from a motion sickness angle and from a "why are you filming this?" angle, but the related 'horror mockumentary' genre gave us Lake Mungo and I will actual-factual murder you if you think that movie isn't the tightest poo poo ever.

Shrecknet posted:It's more of a coffee table book but horror author Grady Hendrix proved his horror nerd bona fides with this book, which I found fascinating: Agreed it's an excellent book and Grady Hendrix will have my eternal gratitude for introducing me to Michael McDowell's* Blackwater which I would kill to see get adapted someday, though it would probably be better off getting adapted as a TV series like say The Strain or The Walking Dead rather than as a movie due to its scope *most people in these parts would probably know him best for having written Beetlejuice Shrecknet posted:hey I appreciate this and more people should do it. I'm cool with a croc biting a dude's arm off or a woman violently imploding 26,000ft below sea level but absolutely don't need to watch more SA in my movies. That second one is very specific where is that one from? Erin M. Fiasco posted:You're right, I DO love goopy things! Same Beautiful PKMN Trainer Red posted:We're doing it boys, we're reaching perfect synthesis... Perfection PKMN Trainer Red posted:Cozy horror is real, it is called Over The Garden Wall and it is good and it is my friend. Yeah most kid oriented horror content probably fits in that niche when viewed from an adult perspective, also with some of the genre hybrids that lean more towards their non horror side like Army of Darkness or Young Frankenstein or most of the Showa era Kaiju films Shrecknet posted:there's a not-indefensible take that the slasher is always coming, unstoppable, dealing justice as he sees fit with endless brutality in the face of overwhelming odds... and if you just tweak his motivations, he's a power fantasy from every action movie ever. There's a comic series I like called Body Bags(no relation to the horror film of the same name) that really plays with how those are two sides of the same coin with main character Mack "Clownface" Delgado who is just an absolute vicious bastard, funny thing is his daughter Panda in several of the stories kind of has some final girl vibes with the situations she gets into albeit one a lot more snarky and skilled with guns than the usual example of that trope Hollismason posted:I mean that's how vampire fangs work.

Looks like a deleted scene, which is a shame that we didn't get more of Andy palling around with Chucky because some of those scenes were my favorite parts of the movie. There's some great, pre-reveal moments where Chucky is still in doll form but subtly trying to do things without being too obvious. Like he turns his head to watch the news about the toy store shootout, etc., or just the fact that he turns his head towards whoever's talking to him to say the pre-recorded doll lines.

Importing a quote from the May horror challenge...VROOM VROOM posted:Feel free to give it a rewatch before reading this to see if you can piece it together, but Triangle is one of my GOATs because (massive ending+rewatch spoilers) "time loop" is just what it wants you to think until the end, where it turns out that Jess and her kid are loving dead. The beginning of the movie at the house actually happened, as did the car sequence+crash at the end, and they died. The part where Jess abuses her kid also happened, but the movie hides this from you until the end because it wants her to be a sympathetic character on a first watch. But in death Jess refuses to accept responsibility for her actions and let go, so she keeps trying to cheat Death to get her son back. Hence the story of Sisyphus. The cab driver at the end is literally Charon. I just wanted to let you know I was able to rewatch Triangle a couple of weeks ago and then revisit your post. The movie's a fun rewatch even on face value when you're looking for hints and clues are making sure the mechanics are consistent. However, I think your spoilered interpretation definitely tracks, and in a satisfying manner (albeit a bummer) to boot. Thanks for the encouragement to give it another watch.

I found this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_holiday_horror_films Not sure how complete it is but its got a list of every horror film on every holiday. Turns out there is a horror movie on Labor Day called Humongous. It's 930 in the morning and I do not have work. Of course I am watching it. Welp Spoiler alert : Humongous stars off with a fairly graphic rape scene however immediately after dogs tear the rapist apart Hollismason fucked around with this message at 15:44 on Sep 4, 2023 |

Yeah you only got a few moments of those before the reveal, which is a shame. I assume it's a deleted scene as well and Discovery are just being dumb. (It's on HBO.)

What's some fun, ignorable background 90s horror or horror-adjacent TV that I can watch while cleaning and such? I don't want to get too invested, but I want it to suck me in for a scene occasionally, or at least look cool when I glance at the TV. I've been watching Are You Afraid of the Dark which has been great, but I want to try something new, and The Outer Limits feels a little too similar. I didn't watch much horror TV other than X-Files at the time because I was too s-s-scared so I'm pretty ignorant of the basics. Buffy was too soapy the few times I tried it, but I wonder about trash like The Crow tv series, or Poltergeist: The Legacy. On another note, I finished the last 1/3 of Child's Play 3 and I came away much warmer than when I had to pause it the night before. Yeah, the military academy wasn't as interesting as it could have been, but when they did the war games bit I thought it was a nice heightening, they made me go "Noooo!" at the TV when the nerd jumped on the grenade, and the entire carnival bit is absolute gold. I know I'm a sucker for a carnival setting (shoutout to Ghoulies 2) but the production design was fantastic, and running around backstage at a haunted house ride is a spooky kid's dream. I mean, can a climax get any better than having to climb a mountain of skulls to kill the voodoo-possessed serial killer murder doll that destroyed your life? Going to watch Bride tonight. I already cheated and watched the intro and I'm in. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 17:07 on Sep 4, 2023 |

I watched it a couple years for the first time. I'm still shocked it's so underseen and underrated. It definitely belongs up there next to The Fly and The Thing in the 80s horror remake pantheon. It feels practically forgotten outside of this thread, though.

I remembered to pick Chucky season 2 back up with the announcement of the 3rd season. I got a little out of it halfway through, but christ, the joy and pleasure of making this show just explodes off the screen. It's so absolutely silly and ridiculous and fun.

STAC Goat posted:Supernatural isn’t quite 90s but definitely fits as horror tv you can turn on and half watch and just zone in for the really good stuff and end of episode meta plot recaps. And there’s like 13 seasons of it so it will last. Worth noting, it does seem like if you watch more than ten episodes of Supernatural you become maniacally obsessed with it and start writing Omegaverse fanfiction.
