Snooze Cruise posted:halloween isn't hot trash but i do kinda feel firmly meh about it. its hard to not compare it to black christmas which has a much more compelling cast of characters. the shape being an outline where you can insert any normal looking dude in there who could suddenly have the potential commit violence towards women is interesting, but again black christmas does much of the same and manages to explore much more in its runtime. I just didn't find Michael Myers to be a very compelling villain. And I think I'm right, there's a reason they've struggled to make good Halloween sequels while Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, Chuckey, etc all have much better batting averages.

If you're mentally able to divorce it from the rest of the series entirely, Michael Myers in the original Halloween has way, way, WAY more personality than the mindless killing machine role that popular memory has committed him to. The subsequent movies just immediately abandoned his childlike innocent qualities and basically let Jason run whole hog with it. In the first one Michael Myers even has like, a plan and a specific goal, to leave a message to the world using his sister's tombstone and a victim's corpse on display. The way I read it is he's trying to explain why he killed his sister, but regardless, throughout the movie it's apparent Myers does in fact have an inner life and isn't actually the empty vessel for evil that the mad doctor Loomis believes he is.

https://www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/hall...of%20Halloween. It was supposed to be an anthology. Studios beat it to death and personified the Shape instead of just letting it be a mystery.

One of my favorite comic artists watched Jason Lives for the first time. Watching him talk about playground rumors about f13, he mentioned two I never heard before, that Hitchcock ghost directed the first one, and Tommy Jarvis was going to star in a sequel called Tommy Turns the Tables, wearing a blue v hockey mask, anyone ever hear these rumors before? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgzTMIvUe6Y

I just finished watching the Haunting of Bly Manor and if it was so important that the children not remember the events at the house why does the gardener tell them the story on their wedding day?

I rewatched Lake Mungo last night, I saw it back when it first came out and didn’t really get it, and I’m still not sure I fully understood this time either. I read it as something like Alice’s family was oblivious to any signs of what she was going though before she died, and basically still are now that she’s a ghost? Why did she bury her stuff at Lake Mungo? Was that another “they should’ve realized something was seriously wrong” moment or does it mean something else?

Watched all of House of Usher yesterday. There was a lot I enjoyed about it but a lot I found kind of corny, too. I'm not super familiar with Poe but I've read a few of the greatest hits, and the show really is one big pastiche of those. Sometimes the Poe content feels unearned and shoehorned in - thinking particularly of The Raven here, with how it only comes in at the eleventh hour with minimal setup beforehand, and then they bend over backwards to avoid making Bruce Greenwood say "quoth". Also I'd like to table a couple of motions: first, NIN's "Closer" is off the table for movie soundtracks for a decade. gently caress off with that. Second, and related, if you are going to put an overhead sprinkler rave in your horror media, consider instead using "Confusion" from the Blade soundtrack.

The subsequent movies just immediately abandoned his childlike innocent qualities and basically let Jason run whole hog with it. Michael Myers, the unknowable psycho who uses his sister's tombstone as a setpiece in his killing spree is so much more interesting than Michael Myers the guy who just really, really needs to kill his family. As soon as he's Laurie's secret brother there's no fear that this could happen anywhere for no reason. The first Halloween is an absolute classic that could only ever work once. Sitting in a theatre in 1978, watching this guy stalk these girls, listening to that music build and build and being scared of what would happen... and then it does and it keeps happening and he's posing the victims to make it worse and he's using the tombstone as a decoration and then he's shot and falls out a window but he's just GONE, you can't recapture that. They should have listened to Carpenter and let the series be different every time. That would actually have allowed creative people to capture the same vibe again.

Phy posted:Watched all of House of Usher yesterday. There was a lot I enjoyed about it but a lot I found kind of corny, too. I loved how goofy and corny it was at times. It seemed like a genuinely fun production. It was more in the vein of "people poo poo with horror happening over there". Reminded me of Benson & Morehead in places. It had a stellar cast, it was genuinely funny in places, and occasionally horrifying. I was engaged the entire time. We binged it in two sittings and I haven't done that in a while (outside the Chucky show).
