They should make a regional horror called Castle Rock about a rich white Republican town in Colorado 30 mins south of Denver where a group of teenagers are incredible bored because there’s nothing to do and every single adult and cop makes it their mission to make sure they can’t do anything remotely fun Based off a true story

Local horror is a great idea, especially since it narrows my choices to either The Wicker Man, Under The Skin, Dog Soldiers or Doomsday, all of which are great.

Phy posted:I hadn't planned on doing the challenge stuff but this could get me to finally check out Nightbreed Just want to emphasize that the challenges are 100% optional and that if you want to post in the October Challenge thread about the 5 or 6 or 10 horror flicks you watch this season, by all means we want you to participate! There's zero requirements to post there and I wish people would be a little less focused on the challenges to be honest.

really looking forward to the challenge, I've abstained from horror this month with the exception of the 1958 The Fly on the 6th which was a rewatch and Older Gods on the 2nd which I thought was lousy. Itching for some good new horror movies!

Rageaholic posted:I watched Fire in the Sky for the first time last night. A lot of the movie wasn't great, but that alien torture scene? The first time I saw that I was extremely high, watching it alone. When it got to that part, it became like a bad acid trip. Just incredibly disturbing, and I could not stop thinking about it for days. Very few films have had that kind of effect on me.

Jesus loving Christ, that was bone-chilling. Glad I didn't see this when I was a kid because it definitely would've given me nightmares.

Last year the challenges were just broad enough that I was able to fit about 80% of the 31 I watched onto the bingo sheet without going out of my way, but the challenges were nice because they got me to watch a few things I otherwise never would have.

Yeah, I like having the challenges because it gives me a bit of direction. Also I realized last night that, since the thread is apparently counting from the 29th, it means I can count Saw X for my total

The only challenge I'm doing is a personal one of watching 31 horror movies from 31 different years. Anything else is gravy.

I think the challenge is like a welcoming gym, and individual challenges are like additional weights. gently caress yeah, go whole hog and do a million if you can, but showing up and doing a little is just as good. It’s a personal challenge not a competition between participants.

Xiahou Dun posted:Oooo I really like the idea of something with a local setting. For me that was Track of the Moonbeast. Set in Albuquerque, filmed in Albuquerque. I was able to visit/track down every location in the film except one. It's at the end where they have the final fight with the monster. They head past a street sign that I can't make out for the life of me and I've not found any still/print that's clear enough to make out what street it is. I haven't been able to find enough info to go look into maps of the city when the film was shot to compare to the city now to get an idea of where to triangulate it down.

I hadn’t even thought of shooting location, I was only thinking the actual setting in the fiction. Either or a combo opens it waaaaaaay up. Plus someone could go for the brass ring of having a screenshot from the movie and a picture of the actual location. And also the rare but fun “Hey! Our local geography works precisely nothing like that! Poughkeepsie is very different and actually shittier!” There’s a horror author I love who’s local and sets his stories in a slightly-disguised analog of the area (i.e. the town settled by French Huguenots is called “Huguenot” ; my hometown is named after the mountain it’s next to rather than the valley it’s in) It’s really fun to read along and figure out what’s what ; my dad and I went on a hike years ago to where the fish-people demons haunt the New York reservoir.

I think where you were born is more fun for the local challenge than where you live, since so many rural folks move to cities. For me, I was afraid us Iowans would be stuck with Children of the Corn, but it looks like we have The Crazies remake and Tobe Hooper's The Funhouse, and that Children of the Corn isn't actually set in Iowa at all. My favorite inaccurate depiction of Iowa on screen was on 24, which depicted it as having mountains and canyons.

Feel free to peep the list and tell me what else is good.

The funny thing was I hadn't planned on tracking down the locations until I recognized one when I was on the bus and it spiraled on from there. I did do a 'here's how it is now' in my review archived on Letterboxd.

You can scooch Bliss to the tippy-top of your list, it's an outstanding update to Ferrera's The Addiction; We're All Going to the World's Fair is the slowest of burns for nothing, easily skippable imo. Cursed and Carnosaur are howlingly fun romps but in no way scary.

re: regional stuff, if we have any Idahoans here, I recently watched The Being and quite enjoyed it. And if you're a fellow masshole, you have no excuse not to watch Winterbeast.

There's Nothing Out There is really dumb but super fun, The Unseen has a reveal that's incredibly unfortunate and hasn't aged well at all, and The Boogens is a kind of low key fun monster movie that has a really odd nude scene where the woman has the flattest rear end of all time.

I’m from New York—way too easy—but consider myself more specifically a Long Islander—also way too easy. but most stuff is set in Suffolk County, in rich people areas, or shot elsewhere though; where are our lovely low-budget indies starring south shore Nassau dirtbags?!

Ghoulies II is my favorite on this list by far, though the first one is fun albeit unremarkable. Would make for a fun double-feature. Going to go to bat for Skinned Deep as an underloved gonzo gem. Death Spa is a ton of fun and is exactly what you'd expect based on the title. Wolfman 2010 deserves a much better reputation than it has, even if it was chopped up a bit in reshoots. Invisible Invaders is a good time if you enjoy drive-in movie schlock and love an on-the-nose social metaphor. The Flesh Eaters is really solid and has more going on under the hood then you might assume.

Ya know what, I’ve been falling off a bit on horror since covid so I’m joining/stealing from you on this though theres no chance I can get to 31. Twenty horror I’ve never seen before seems possible. Cant be worse than Tubiween from a few years ago.
