Midsommar was one of the last great movies going experiences I had. Total mayhem in bright white so you can see the people next to you losing their poo poo when the rock shows up.

Man, if there's one thing that would've made me enjoy Midsommar, it would be The Rock showing up in it.

Dear diary,

It is my second week in the castle. Last night, in a fit of I know not what*, I made what I now believe to be a grievous mistake.

I went through the wondrous lists of both Tubi and Amazon Prime (with AMC/shudder/P+) and added every single horror anthology I could find to my watchlist.

Tonight, I began watching them, along with my ghastly host (despite the isolated location of his forbidding abode, his internet connection is excellent.)

I began in no particular order, but soon discovered that I had unwittingly added many that were absolutely ridiculous, amateurish tripe.

Some of them bordered on the offensive, both in the cheapness of their production values, and in the utter incompetence of their writing. To say that the Count was not amused, would be a grave understatement.

I am now hastily going through the process of removing all this tepid awfulness from my watchlists.

But at the same time, I wonder: are there any horror anthologies that are worthy of viewing, or even perhaps individual segments from anthologies, that are? I am starting to fear that my very life may depend upon it.

It is my hope that I might find it possible to please my host, who I find more than a bit aloof and mysterious, and who grows a little more frightening with each passing night.

I feel myself growing a bit weaker by the day, it becomes difficult to focus and even write, and I have horrid dreams each night.

I hope to be able to return to my beloved Mina soon, but alas, the Count has told me I cannot, unless I can show him some legitimately good anthology horror.

5 June.

The case of MrMojok grows more interesting the more I get to understand the man. He seems to have some settled scheme of his own, but what it is I do not know. His redeeming quality is a love of horror. Just now his hobby is watching anthology films.

I enquired which anthologies he had already tried and failed to enjoy, and suggested that Mario Bava's Black Sabbath, The Company of Wolves, and Kwaidan were all older classics, and that Trick 'R' Treat remains good straightforward fun.

VHS 85 was good but a couple of the stories have such little closure it’s like what was the point

it’s annoying because they seemed to tie into each other but really went nowhere. some of it was great.

FEAR MY SHARK ROCKET IT REALLY SUCKS AND BLOWS


I was watching Audition for the first time in a LONG time over the weekend, and needed to look something up. The top is where I was in the movie, the second was the first search result thumbnail. I'm scared of my powers and it's totally not a coincidence.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

I really liked V/H/S 85. Definitley the best wraparound story they've ever done, and all of the segments were fun in different ways. Dreamkiller was probably my least favorite but it was really well done and was a fun mystery. I just kinda knew where it was going, especially since Derrickson had some similar concepts in The Black Phone. Still well worth watching.

I also went to see Evil Dead: The Musical on Saturday night. Highly recommended, it's funny and gory and the songs are really catchy. I cannot stress enough how much blood will be sprayed on you in the splash zone. At the halfway point I was like "eh, that's a lot of blood, but not as much as I expected". But the finale more than made up for that.

3. Totally killer
4. No one will save you
5. Fear the night
6. The Prodigy
7. Wrath of Becky
8. Birdbox Barcelona
9. Angry black girl and her monster

I’m randomly picking a recent movie I haven’t seen before that is at least horror adjacent every day this month.

No one will save you surprised the poo poo out of me at how good it was and I was surprised how terribly boring the Meg 2 was.

I saw the OG off-broadway Evil Dead the Musical and it is one of my fondest memories. I left absolutely soaked in stage blood with a copy of the soundtrack.

That show rules. If a tour comes vaguely near you it’s worth it. More horror live theater!

Midsommar is fun. It has value not only just as one of the most faithful cinematic representations of tripping, but also just separate from The Wicker Man because honestly The Wicker Man is so weirdly charmingly itself and more musical than most people remember (until the next rewatch).

I mean such a fundamentally silly movie as the new Exorcist one could have been fun if they'd gone for a hard campy vibe, but NOOOOOOOO.

I could have used the protagonists looking up various YouTube videos on how do DIY exorcise.

I liked all three of the Halloween movies, Ends most of all, and the new Exorcist is just extremely okay. It’s a bit boring in all honesty, even though it tries some interesting bits like adding a Haitian priest and blinding Ellen Berstyn’s character.

Any recs for some truly scary, gory movies?

Wife and I tried to watch the grudge but fell asleep due to the slow start. She loves the saw series ( and big series are kinda preferred)

Also will take recs for truly scary ghost movies. Will be showing her hell house and grave encounters soon!

Autopsy of Jane Doe any good?

Re-Animator is probably a go to

I'd also recommend something that's not super gory but I think enjoyable which is The Resurrected.
