A category based around watching something a now famous actor did very early in their career. Like how Billy Bob Thorton was in Chopper Chicks in Zombie Town, or Kevin Bacon in Ft13th I, or Crispin Glover in Ft13th IV or Jennifer Anniston in Leprechaun or… Call it I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER.

This is an awesome idea, it can also be used for movies that may not be horror but have great horror scenes or villains. As long as there's an explanation as to what makes it count for the poster! I don't think I'll do the May challenge, as October is just the perfect time for me since I'm already usually locked in and binging movies then, but I'll still suggest categories and ideas!

It is a very fun challenge because you immediate identify the strengths/weaknesses in both (like things the remake hosed up on or flaws the original had that got fixed, that kind of thing) with that kind of watch. As for a title for it, WELL drat THEY RUINED IT

Am I wrong or were there a couple basic continuity errors in Late Night with the Devil? First, the title of the book seemed to first be announced as Lillith or whatever the girls name was, even though the cover on screen obviously had a different title. Later when that guest is introduced, they say the title that’s on the book. Second, the James Randi-esque check is first said to be 100,000 dollars, then later they refer to it as 500,000. Did I miss them raising it at some point? Assuming I’m not wrong, it kind of contributes to the shoddy feeling I get about the movie and its use of AI art. Just in general the whole thing felt a little too artificial, especially the cuts to people talking backstage that are in no way found footage. I couldn’t really get into it for that.

As someone who isn’t the biggest fan of jumpscares, I was wondering how I would do with movies such as When Evil Lurks and Evil Dead Rises. Wheresthejump.com doesn’t have either movie up. Unrelated, but does anyone know where I could find a copy/stream Kōji Shiraishi’s Occult? I saw Noroi: The Curse last year on Shudder and was quite impressed and have heard great things about Occult. Thanks!

Both those movies have some pretty big jump scares. Especially evil dead. Where evil lurks has a few big ones

It's a film I ended up wanting to like more than I actually liked it. You'll Never Find Me has some insane production value and atmosphere for what's basically a two hander though, yeah.

I think they used AI art for like, three title cards? At that point just, uh, hire a human artist to copy it and swap them. AI and art is such a hot button issue, I get it. But having only learned about that after seeing the film, I think after a thousand watches I would never sense something amiss or off with the film enough to harm my enjoyment.

Stage Fright (2014) was a $3 Best Buy DVD blind buy I picked up specifically for Meat Loaf and it's a really fun and charming horror musical that's a Phantom of the Opera pastiche with tons of camp and great songs and some brutal kills. Meat Loaf did not disappoint.
