I know this is a really broad question but my SO and I are looking for a super spooky film. I don't get scared by horror films at all so I enjoy them for the creative merit but it's a blast watching them with her because she freaks out at everything. To give you an idea of some we've enjoyed recently: It Follows, The Witch, The Conjuring and related films, the good Ouija they made, Don't Breathe, Evil Dead remake. Got Netflix UK, Amazon UK and Shudder.

I know the sitch with Cannibal Holocaust but was there animal abuse in Friday the 13th too or are you referring to something else? Been so long since I watched it. Haven't seen Cannibal Holocaust yet. Idk how into it she'd be if the animal abuse is pretty visceral, I'd still like to see it for the historical aspect.

The description of it sounds both stupid enough that I don't want to see it and stupid enough that I kind of have to see it. George Romero posted:There’s a scientist there doing genetic experiments, trying to make the zombies stop eating us, and he has discovered that with a little tampering, they can recall certain memory skills that enable them to drive in these races. So it’s a demolition derby with zombies at the wheels, and of course the poo poo hits the fan in other ways. http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3445715/george-romero-reveals-road-dead-details/

There's a scene in Friday the 13th where they find a snake and hack it up with a machete, and the snake was real. I believe there's a story from the set about the owner of the snake not being told that it was going to actually be killed for real, and he was distraught when they did it because it was his pet snake and he loved it. Could be total bullshit though.

It's a severely unpleasant sequence/film, and probably the most classic horror movie I would never actually recommend anyone watch. It's effective as hell, but it's also completely uneccessary. Definitely check out Raw, though, it's pretty gruesome and intense, and vegans/vegetarians will definitely get a lot out of it. It's very good!

Noted, maybe one day I'll watch it for posterity but I've never really been interested in it because as you say it just sounds excessive. Might give RAW a swing tonight if we can find a VOD.

They just added The Void to Netflix, which has been discussed in this thread a little more since. It was pretty polarizing at first, now it seems more people have seen it and enjoyed it. Shudder: Fright Night, Demons, Demons 2, The Church, The Beyond, Ghost Watch (tell her it's real), Amazon/Netflix: An American Werewolf in London, The Eyes of My Mother, The Burning, What We Do In the Shadows (horror/comedy), Green Room, Rosemary's Baby I have US on all of those, so some may or may not be available. That's enough to get you started.

It's mentioned more than once on the documentary Camp Crystal Lake I remember them saying the snake was real in that, but nothing about the guy crying about his dead pet.

FYI while I believe on most streaming services it is unfortunately completely uncut, several of the DVD releases of it do actually offer a cut where the scenes of animal abuse are removed but all of the other content is kept intact. The "best" of both worlds.

I think we started The Void but it was so late my SO fell asleep so I put it off to watch later, thanks for the reminder! I also keep hyping up Green Room to her so perhaps that's due a revisit and we both quote WWDITS endlessly, can't wait for the spin-off. Solid list, I'll see which are available for us.

Yeah if you haven't seen Ghostwatch you should definitely put that on your watch list. It's a favorite film of the thread and just really drat good.

I want to suggest The Void some more because it is probably the best horror movie I've seen in the last few months. This is mostly due to me watching terrible B-movies on Netflix. So far I've watched XX, The Windmill, Hellions, Beyond the Gates, Man Vs., The Axe Murders of Villisca, Exeter, and so many more. So if anyone wants details on anything horror on Netflix I've probably seen it. I don't know why I do this to myself because I have Amazon prime and Shudder. Unrelated, what is that horror movie, I think Japanese, that is like a TV show but there's haunted poo poo in the background or something? A friend was explaining it to me and it sounded interesting.

Hey horror thread, I'm posting this here because y'all have seen some obscure garbage, which I'm on the hunt forX-Ray Pecs posted:I suddenly remembered a VHS tape I saw a couple years ago, it was a horror anthology (I think it was maybe French?) with a story about a murderous Santa, and a story about a kid hunting Dracula. It's a low-budget DTV anthology, and it's dreadfully boring, but I need to remember what it's called. It's not the 1972 Tales from the Crypt movie.

Have you found any diamonds in the rough? Movies you might overlook because the box art is so terrible? They don't even have to be great, as long as they have an interesting idea, and bonus points if they're Canadian.

They don't even have to be great, as long as they have an interesting idea, and bonus points if they're Canadian. Man Vs. I believe is Canadian or at least takes place in the Canadian wilderness. The special effects (very few) are Syfy level cheesy but if you can look past that it's a neat movie. Go in blind like I did and you should have a good time. Exeter was an interesting movie that starts like a comedy and kind of keeps that comedic bent throughout even though it deals with some real weird poo poo. It kind of falls off at the end but worth a watch. Hellions is Canadian but I wouldn't even begin to get into it unless your eyes are willing to suffer through a weird purple filter that covers like 3/4ths of the movie. The plot is dumb and not in a fun way. Robert Patrick is in it but I'm not so in need of Robert Patrick that this movie becomes necessary viewing by any means. The Windmill is good for a quick slasher with a kind of interesting premise. The gore is pretty great and it moves along at a good clip. I might be biased though because I love most slashers no matter how bad.

I loved The Void but I also liked XX more than people here seem to. The rock climbing short was pretty lame, but the rest were all pretty good and the adaptation of The Box in particular was great.Neo Rasa posted:I saw The Lair of the White Worm a long time ago and liked it.
