Shrecknet posted: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. I love this one and I'm ashamed to say that I burst out laughing at the ending every time. It's just so dark and comes out of nowhere.

I haven’t gotten around to Evil yet but my understanding of it is it started as a network show so it’s more reserved but once they were getting cancelled/shifted to streaming they let it hang loose and found what a people love.

1408 was a good time. I ended watching the directors cut I think. It seems pretty drat good though. Really great performance by Cusack.

There’s a couple of different endings depending on which version you watched but I can never keep them straight. I also think that stuff tends to be overblown. But I’m sure you can find them on YouTube if you want.

Yep, S1 was on CBS before S2 and S3 moved to streaming only. It's why S1 is good but the rest is great, the move away from broadcast standards give us stuff like Main Character Horny Sex Demon Kristen does not regret a literal murder, which is objectively really interesting TV. Even without the content itself, you can tell something is different the instant someone calls someone else a 'cocksucking motherfucker' in the S3 premier, lol If you're on the fence about the show based on the first season, I would encourage you to jump ahead and watch S02E07 S is for Silence, which is objectively a really good hour of TV, almost entirely detached from the overarching plot of the season (so you don't need to worry much about context) and is full of character moments that sell you on the main cast.

Maybe I'll just read a recap of season 1 of Evil. I just have to figure out where I left off.

Watch the last two episodes of S1 (the second to the last has a loving GREAT Michael Emerson scene, and the finale has a huge plot moment that the whole second season hinges on), and then jump straight into S2.

Okay, so, Bride of Chucky is an extremely 1998 movie. I do not like late 90s/early 00s movies. Tonally it feels more like Gunn's Scooby-Doo movie than it does the previous entries. Just extremely goofy and far too ironic. That being said, it's still very fun, and the core of what makes the franchise great is still there. As far as movies of this tone go, this is a very well made one. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 03:12 on Sep 5, 2023 |

I would've loved to have another Child's Play movie in between 1991 and 1998, seven years is a long time.

I humbly and politely ask that people do not make fun of or light of or mock 9/11 because it is not a meme, it was a mass murder in which many died and who’s loved ones and survivors still grief to this day. Please have respect for those because it’s entirely possible you’ve been posting with someone who was personally affected in many ways by 9/11 and you didn’t know it.

Uh, no you should be watching horror movies between now and Thanksgiving, when you should watch Addams Family Values and/or Nightmare Before Christmas as a transition movie.

I’m a little drunk so very open but I’m strongly considering busting out my 30 page Evil Dead fan film called The World Vs The Evil Dead about a post apocalyptic deadite world and this dude has to survive it while being helped by Mia from the remake due to all Evil Dead universes converging during the events of the season 3 finale of the show. Pablo and Kelly have small voice cameos and there’s lots of deadites If I do it it would be a halloweeen fan film thing like trick r treat so I’d have to act fast but idk. It’s a bit of a big idea

Watched Event Horizon for the first time in a few years. Goddamn, what great set design and overall dread conveyed by it. Just a big haunted sentient Gothic cathedral in outer space. I hope that planned TV series eventually gets made. Fishburne said he’d love to come back and be a part of it if asked.

feedmyleg posted:I wonder about trash like The Crow tv series, or Poltergeist: The Legacy. Poltergeist: The Legacy isn't too bad, really. It suffers mainly from standing in the shadow of one of the all time great horror movies. It's heavily inspired by the West End Games horror RPG Chill, centring on a secret society (the Legacy) founded by a Victorian philanthropist who developed a moral calling to fight supernatural evil. The Men of Letters in later seasons of Supernatural trod much the same ground. P:TL is also an in-canon part of the Poltergeist franchise. Zelda Rubinstein made a couple of appearances on the show as Tangina Barrons, who was called by Dr Lesh to help the Freelings because they were both Legacy members. Supernatural, on the other foot, is probably the best horror TV show ever and it's remarkable that it maintained a decent level of quality for 15 years - especially as I suspect the last two seasons were made mainly for the sake of Jared Padalecki, who had been suffering severely from depression and was using the work to keep him going. I've been rewatching from the start and the first couple of seasons are absolutely full on. Later seasons suffer from power creep and the afterlife's revolving door, and the tone became much lighter, but Eric Kripke was always ready to address that sort of thing and hang a lampshade on it. It's all on Amazon Prime, and if you never watch another episode of the show you owe it to yourself to watch the crossover with Scooby Doo in S11. It's completely standalone and utterly hilarious.

S1-S5 of Supernatural are brilliant, and everything from then on is still good. the first time Castiel shows up is such a huge awe-inspiring moment that said, it never hits as high as some X Files episodes (fortunately also nowhere near the lows). but it's such a dependable comfort watch.

When was the Poltergeist television series made? I feel like it was in that late 80s to late 90s period where horror movies weren't doing too well in theaters so let's make a TV show instead.

I loved the Ft13th series because, unlike Freddy's Nightmares, it realized it was never gonna satisfy the gorehounds on a network television first-run syndication show, so it just leaned hard the other way into basically being Darkhold Redeemers the series, and as a mid-90s goth kid who read every Ghost Rider and Blade comic book, that was just fine by me.

Yeah I don't want my post to come across as disdain for FT13, I actually loved the hell out of it for pretty much the exact same reasons. I was huge into the Ghost Rider renaissance from the 90s

Nightbreed!! And The Shape of Water. If you want to stretch the Kaiju definition, it's not really a horror but Colossal is decent.
