Goddamnit this movie needs to have an idea for a scary thing beyond “something that shouldn’t be able to move moves when it’s off camera”

Definitely the comic titles, but if you have a way to slap them over the memorable visuals in a way that doesn't look too cluttered that'd be great.

They have two types of scares in the trilogy and they do them okay.

I love Hell House but yeah I’d say it’s fair game for a Halloween movie even if it’s technically not set on Halloween. It’s certainly Halloween themed.

OK Hell House has firmed my position on the CGI in Koji Shiraishi movies. I know some people said it put them out of the movie a bit, but I always thought it was fine. Now I say it is good. If you're doing a low budget found footage movie featuring a portal to hell, a goddamn CGI worm tunnel is far preferable to just some loving dudes in capes.

Both are cool, but if this is specifically for Creepshow then you gotta go with style A.

In the third one the portal to hell is CGI from 2001 that looks like a small rift of fire on the floor and the battle between the devil's servant and an angel is two guys sorta wrestling.

Much appreesh. I’ll keep that in mind. Also, in Pumpkinhead, you can tell that the old woman is magic because she lives in a swamp on top of a mountain. . (Yes I too am watching Pumpkinhead.)

The first episode of Creepshow's newest season is written by Mike Flanagan's brother and feels like a Tim Robinson sketch but is also really good

The cgi in shiraishi movies was always part of the charm for me. The weird shadowy worms and like, say, the ending of Occult, all that weird low budget poo poo just adds to the cursed feeling for me.

I watched an Argentinian film on Shudder called Terrified and despite being a bit messy and disjointed, it was a real good time. The premise was cool and the character performances were solid (and weird). I wish it had been a bit more coherent because I liked what it was unpacking. VHS85 was good fun too. Probably the most consistent of all the VHS movies. Not really scary at all but there were some creative bits. I really liked the wrap around segment. And the Lake episode was unexpected (as well as its conclusion). I'm with it being an annual franchise given that the quality seems to be staying high. I watched All Hallows Eve out of pure curiosity. I'm not a fan of Art the Clown (I have stronger opinions than this but I'll keep them to myself) and Terrifier does nothing for me but like I said, curious. It was just super lame. I like a decent low budget film but it was boring. And SO DARK. I couldn't see anything in the alien segment. On top of that, it felt so much longer than the runtime. Washed the bad taste out of my mouth with a rewatch of The Autopsy of Jane Doe which is always a good time. Every rewatch makes me appreciate it more. It's such a tightly paced little film that doesn't waste any time but also doesn't leave much on the table. I think tonight is my annual rewatch of Lake Mungo so that'll be a nice time. I'm really looking forward to the next Hell House entry. I watched them all last week in preparation. 1 is still fantastic. 2 doesn't do much for me and 3 was more than a little cheesy towards the end but is overall a pretty solid movie.

The director's next film, When Evil Lurks, comes out this week and it goes hard as gently caress. I can't promise that it's more coherent than Terrified necessarily but it whips rear end.

Saw Nightmare On Elm Street 3 in the theatre. It remains a classic. I'm trying to figure out how hosed all the doctors are, professionally. Kristen self-harms and is confined to the hospital. The first night, Philip jumps out a window because no one on the night shift was doing their job. The next day, Dr. Neil Gordon learns new intern Nancy is taking an experimental drug, and she convinces him to prescribe it for all their patients. That night, Jennifer commits suicide by (apparently) getting a running start and taking a flying leap headfirst into a television. After the funeral, they try a group hypnosis session that ends with Joey in an explicable coma. Having lost 3 patients in 4 days, the chief doctors decide to blame everything on Neil and Nancy and fire them. Nancy sneaks back into the hospital and conducts another group hypnosis session. Taryn and Will both die while Joey awakens from his coma. Nancy is inexplicably stabbed to death, while Neil was involved in the mysterious death of Nancy's father in a junkyard. The intriguing thing to me is the dream-suppressant Hypnocil. The kids only got a single dose, and the drug appears much later in Freddy vs. Jason. Maybe it would have worked if they'd kept using it in the 80s.

The parents are all zonked out of their minds in their mansions, they probably forgot they ever had kids.

I watched Jeepers Creepers last night and liked it so I was looking into the franchise to see if it was worth watching the sequels, and jesus christ. I had a vague sense that the guy behind the first movie had been metooed or something, but jesus christ. And they just let him keep making movies. Apparently he was protected professionally by Francis Ford Coppola.

It was just easier to sweep stuff under the rug back then before social media. There weren't a whole lot of ways you were going to hear about Salva, and as a director he wasn't at the level of a household name where his name would even be brought up much during the marketing push for a movie like Jeepers Creepers. Like, I saw a trailer for Jeepers Creepers in the leadup to it's release, thought it looked great and went to see it opening weekend, and never knew or cared who directed it. These days the studio decision makers can't hire a guy like that even if they wanted to because it would get dogpiled on social media and nobody would want to see the movie.

It had the same vibe as Mike Flanagan's stuff, plus both the actresses being in Flanagan stuff. I also really liked this season in general. There were no real duds for me and a couple of really great segments. I was kind of bummed we didn't get a single Creep into or outro, though. Those are always fun little bits but maybe they're prohibitively expensive or something.

Don't watch more but check out the Unsolved Mysteries story that the Jeepers Creepers opening literally just copies wholesale. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5Xn-R91Ys4
