Edit: also none of those other “Twisted Childhood” movies beyond the Pooh sequel are going to get made, come on.

Whether they happen or not, we'll still give them a watch.

Not me. I looked up the kills for the first Pooh movie and that poo poo was awful.

If you don’t have good kills for a slasher what are you even doing

Technically, but they also were going to make a different Invisible Man with Johnny Depp that was officially part of it

By the way, if anyone has a desire to run the October Challenge for a year, by all means let us know and you can give it a whirl. It's pretty fun in it's own way, you get to really brainstorm and come up with creative challenges, and nobody gives a poo poo about prizes so you don't even really have to mess with that aside from the gang tags.

Just thought I'd throw it out there because it probably wouldn't be the worst thing for us to have at least small rotation of people who are willing to do it. That way it doesn't fall on one person's shoulders every year like it did with Fran for all that time.

I’ve had to be a hype man for this movie to get people to watch it because they assume it’s just reheated IP garbage. Never had a movie make me feel a growing unease like this one by slowly panning to like an empty corner of a room. The camera work and sound design are great.

Listen here, funnyman!
The 2020 Invisible Man movie is easily one of the best horror films released in the last 5 years in my opinion.

It doesn't get enough love because it came out right before the pandemic happened and got dropped from theatres then buried because nobody talked about anything else.

My biggest problem with it was the sisters murder. It just wasn't believable that more people didn't ask questions about it.

Another fantastic moment in RotLD is when the hysterical kids are telling the guy about people coming out of the ground, and how there’s one of them in the warehouse across the tracks.

He immediately demands to know which warehouse, and she goes “The medical supply warehouse!”

His immediate reaction, “poo poo!!! poo poo!!! Oh, god drat it!” is priceless.

I'm now remembering the story about how a producer(?) came to the set, saw the footage of Lianna Quigley top- and bottomless, said like "you can't show a woman's bush on camera!", so the director told Quigley to shave off her pubic hair and reshot it. The producer saw that and went "THAT'S EVEN WORSE :argh:"

I can't help but crack up that they didn't just immediately reshoot the scene with her in panties, even though it all sounds super scuzzy.

My understanding is instead of telling her to shave they gave her some kind of modesty applique - like some kind of reverse merkin that looks like skin but actually covers you up. The producers were fine with that because technically you don't see her crotch, but the filmmakers themselves were like "now it just looks like she's shaved, or like a Barbie or something and she doesn't have genitals, this is so much weirder."

The story I heard about RTOLD Graveyard dance was that she did the dance , then they were like "We can't show bush!", then they had her shave, then they reshot it and they were like "poo poo its worse", then they got a fake merkin/bottom for her so you could not see her vagina and filmed that.

The French feature length one, not the American short. They dropped most of the original story, which is why Luis Bunuel walked and they didn't put his name on the picture. But it looks amazing. There's shots that I'm not sure anything like was done again until the invention of Steadicam.

Very difficult to narrow it down to just five, so here's ten in no real order:

Titane (okay I lied this was my favorite)
Nope
Godzilla Minus One
Willy's Wonderland
Last Night In Soho
The Black Phone
M3GAN
Shiva Baby
Pearl
Terrifier 2

That's not including a whole bunch of movies I feel really fond about. The 2020s has been a really excellent horror decade already.

Psycho Goreman

Evil Dead Rise

Out of those I think only When Evil Lurks is a solid, classic horror that can match up with the other greats of the genre. A lot of the post 2020 movies have felt underwhelming and ponderous. Malignant, Fear Street, Smile, Malum, Empty Man, et al seem like generic summer movies for teenagers. Nope, Talk to Me, M3GAN weren't for me and I don't think any of them are that scary or harrowing to me.
