If you don't post it here, in a couple years you won't even be able to find this. Much appreciated.

checkplease posted:Is the ghost camera thing part of the ride now? I don’t remember it being there but felt like a new ride feature they were setting up. It seemed to me that those little floating particles that came out when the ghost camera went off were meant to reference Hong Kong Disney's version of the Haunted Mansion where they have "magical dust" that floats around in a similar way. Which of course was something I wasn't aware of until I watched the doc episode about it. Apparently the Hong Kong version of Haunted Mansion had to be completely different due to their issues with ghosts over there. They had to focus a lot more on magic. It's a series called Behind the Attraction on Disney+, so you unfortunately need Disney+ to watch it. But they have episodes on Haunted Mansion, Jungle Cruise, Space Mountain, etc etc

Gang, I don't think I like Giallos. They're just not fun, they're frustrating, slow, out of focus and badly framed most of the time, and it sucks because everyone says they're great but I just don't see it.

I've watched a fair amount and I've never enjoyed any. I don't know how people can watch these poorly dubbed movies and not be distracted by the voices not matching the actor or syncing with their lips.

I feel like giallo has always been a 50/50 proposition, even in here with all the horror freaks. There's never really been a shortage of people who just don't click with them. Personally I do like them but I also tend to gravitate more towards the more supernatural oriented Italian films of that time rather than the straight giallo. Suspiria, Inferno, The Beyond, stuff like that rather than the more straightforward murder mysteries.

Chucky new episode: Really love the idea of shady secret agent guys covering up Chucky's murders. Really fun conceit for the season. I can't wait for President Devon Sawa to reveal to the american people he thinks he is being haunted by a killer doll.

Yeah, I've always bounced off giallo too. There's usually some ideas in there I love but I find a lot of what else is going on interminable. The underwater secret basement in Inferno? loving amazing.

How's When Evil Lurks? The premise sounds interesting and the theater I have a membership to has a showing in 2 hours and I don't have gently caress all else to do so I'm thinking about checking it out. Worth checking out for 50 cents?

Some good giallo films that aren't typically giallo and might appeal to people who don't like the genre: Short Night of Glass Dolls (1971) An American journalist in Prague wakes up in a square in Prague and realizes he can't move a muscle or make a sound. He is picked up by an ambulance and presumed dead. The events of the film are him trying to piece together the hazy recollections of the last few days to figure out what happened to him and try to snap out of it before his own autopsy. The film has elements of a conspiracy thriller which, along with the interesting framing device, helps elevate it above a standard whodunnit. Good Ennio Morricone soundtrack as well. The Suspicious Death of a Minor (1975) A cheeky wisecracking detective investigates a murder connected to a network of human trafficking targeting underage girls. A mash-up of a crime procedural (or Poliziotteschi as the Italians call the genre) and a giallo. Feels oddly like a proto-Beverley Hills Cop in a few scenes with a number of jokes and gags some of them quite slapstick like a scene where the cops are chasing suspects and they run past an old man on a crosswalk so fast that he falls over and spins around on his head as if he were breakdancing. The tonal whiplash of the action-comedy cop stuff clashing with very gritty and sleazy nature of the central crime makes it pretty interesting. Suspiria (1977) You might've heard of this one. An innovative mix of supernatural horror and giallo from a director who was then mostly known for making fairly grounded giallos who decided to shake things up by making a supernatural horror film. Visually gorgeous. Killer soundtrack. Turns out the murderer is an ancient witch

I was in a bookstore in Italy once, despite barely being able to read a single word of the language, and after getting over the fact that Italy is a large enough linguistic area that 99% of the books were in Italian* I was mildly amused to see the section labeled "GIALLI" which had everything from Agatha Christie to modern Nordic Noir stuff to older hardboiled detective pulp. *Despite one in ten Icelanders publishing a book at least once and books being a pretty Big Deal in the culture Icelandic bookstores largely sell books in English making this sort of monolingualism fascinating to me.

Yeah, the label means yellow and it's just because pulp novels used to communicate have yellow covers in Italy so giallo became shorthand for like exploitation thrillers.

Worth checking out for 50 cents? I assume you made your choice by now, but I'd say anything Shudder puts their money behind is a 60/40 split on quality. Not a bad gamble for 50 cents. Director's last movie was "Terrified" which I liked quite a bit and the trailer looks good

This is excellent stuff but I just learned that every single mall I used to visit in my home town closed over covid and are being torn down and that has weirdly colored my watch of The Rolling Giant. Like, yeah, the horrifying under ground mall is all dilapidated and poo poo, and yes, the 12ft tall animate puppet is probably murderous, but maybe it would be kind of cozy to walk around for a little bit? The narrator might have been a bit more relaxed in his subterranean hell realm if he took a moment to enjoy the vibes, is all I'm saying.
