I draw a card with a kid eating monkey brains. At the time I didn't know we were actually supposed to give them to our moms. I was a dumb kid. Anyway, mom opens the card, and is absolutely horrified. That card's a goes in the keepsake box.

WHY BONER NOW posted:Huge recommendation, but maybe wait until next Halloween to really capitalize on the mood Yep, it's a movi(Sleepy Hollow)that I find myself wanting to watch at different points throughout the year but my October DNA won't let me because of stuff like this:  Just a few too many jack o lanterns to get away with watching it any other time of year.

I rewatched it over the holidays, still a very fun movie. Miranda Richardson's casual delivery of "Watch your head" is A+.

A Fancy Hat posted:My wife is a huge fan of the Tremors movies, in fact she got in trouble in elementary school because she drew the scene from the 1st one where they find the severed head and the teacher thought she had somehow encountered a severed head in the woods or something. So we've watched every single movie, most of them more than once, and can definitively say this is my personal ranking: Co-signing this, though I flip 3 and 4 purely on the merits of the novel time period and 3 canonizing "rear end-blasters" for the third evolution. I think 7 only barely skates above 5 and 6 by virtue of not having Jamie Kennedy, but Jon Heder is not exactly a sterling replacement.

I can list a bunch of problems with Sleep Hollow, but half of that is because it's so close to my perfect movie that I start getting incredibly nit-picky. "Gothic period horror with heavy mystery elements" is basically my exact niche, and then on top of that it's a buffet of character actors. I can forgive a lot of Burton's schtick* and even some of the Johnny Depp poo poo, if I still get Michael Gambon in a wig and knee-breeches and some protracted investigative sequences. *which used to be my poo poo, but he's kind of systematically ruined it since then.

Yeah, I dislike 3 just because I find the rear end-blaster form a step too far, it also feels like the place where the films shift from respecting the Graboids to having fun with them.

I saw Tremors (a perfect film) countless times as a kid, and I saw 2 once or twice, but most of the sequels I've only seen running the series a few years back before 7 was out. I can't think about the movies in any individual capacity enough to say anything other than that oh-so-common phrase of horror sequels, "diminishing returns."

I kinda liked Cold Skin too. Wasn't amazing and is pretty much dwarfed by The Lighthouse. More action in it though, and the plot is fairly straight forward comparatively.

Apologies if this is a repost, I didn't see it mentioned anywhere. For those of us who are interested, check Shiracord, Senritsu Kaiki World Kowasugi (2023) (the one that came out in September), with subs, is now available. Watched it last night, and it's everything you want it to be.

Xiahou Dun posted:Canonically, Jason is a Jersey Boy. Leatherface is pretty obvious. Chucky was Chicago, so Illinois. Elm Street took place in Indiana I want say? I actually don't know whether a definitive state was established for Crystal Lake or Elm St during the main series but I'm pretty sure Jason versus Freddy had them both in Ohio within driving distance of each other. I guess New Jersey would make some sort of sense for Crystal Lake since they took a boat to NYC. Up some navigable river that was previously unmentioned, I guess.

I'm nearish to Blairstown, NJ where it's supposed to be. Every Halloween they put on a big Friday the 13th thing that's basically a country fair. That whole area is backwoods country and they filmed near it and Hope, NJ as well. I've never been and would never want to willingly drive out to west New Jersey.

I'm pretty sure that the Friday the 13th films flat out say they're in New Jersey in the 1st and a few of the other films.

They don’t actually say the words “New Jersey” at any point in the series. But the first one is set in/near Hope, NJ a real place where they shot the first film. It was probably purely accidental but there’s enough consistency in the background elements that you can tell when* they switched from filming in the Northeast because suddenly all the trees are different. This also means that later on when they forget what they wrote and start calling the town Crystal Lake it will really piss you off if you’re the kind of psychopath that watches the entire Friday the 13th series and takes notes. *It was Part III in case you’re curious. Part I was shot in Jersey, Part II in Connecticut.

No, I'm pretty sure there were shots of signs and poo poo that were New Jersey road signs and cities in New Jersey.

No one ever says, out loud, the words “New Jersey”, but the first movie was shot in NJ and the second in Connecticut made to look like New Jersey. Then they stopped doing even that, and it’s very visible if you pay attention.

We’re counting stuff shown too. If it says it in the film (or series) any place at all that’s the place it be Like Halloween clearly takes place in California same with ANOES but yet they’re both set in haddenfield, Illinois and Springwood, Ohio

No one goes around announcing the state that they are in or the town their in in most movies. Its clearly from the 1st film and others set in New Jersey.

You said they say they are in New Jersey, I responded that there isn’t dialogue but it’s obvious from scenery and props. It’s called nuance, my person. Sometimes people agree with you while being more specific.
