Never done one of these before (and have no doubt I'll gently caress this one up) but lately I've just been sorting my library by Horror and Year and randomly picking something I haven't seen yet, maybe this will motivate me to keep at it. Probably going to be a bunch of old classics that everybody is already familiar with but they'll be new to me dang it!

Pretty sure it was after midnight when I finished the 2nd half of Boxer's Omen last night, does that count :q:

Idle Hands (1999)

-- Sorry about your bush.

A stoner teen horror/comedy that starts off with heavy Scream vibes before transitioning into full on Evil Dead sillyness. Took me a long time to get to this one as it has one of the least horror-y posters I can think of. A demon possessed hand and they made it his right instead of his left?? SMDH

It's dumb as hell, but they lean into it so much it wraps around to being pretty good, 3/5 spooks or whatever.

Also features The Offspring as a high school dance band and one of the most obvious Female Lead Shirt Rips since Natalie Portman in Episode II :pervert:

Paging Kvlt! to the thread :siren:

A True Jar Jar Fan posted:

Perfect opportunity to watch a whole bunch of Universal Monsters classics

Also a big part of my list. I watched The Invisible Man a while ago, but still have the other big ones on deck. They also tend to be on the short side so good for an emergency afternoon watch if you're getting behind schedule.

After I put off watching it for so long, I'm evangelical about people watching The Invisible Man (1933) which might be a perfect movie.

It's explicitly stated that only Devon Sawa's right hand was possessed because the left one wasn't idle. It's his wanking hand.

drat that's true

I still would have flipped it to explain why his right hand was still ok, but props to the writers covering bases like that.

Maniac Cop (1988)
-- Make it bigger than AIDS.

Friday the 13th in NYC but it's a beefcake zombie cop taking revenge on the corrupt bureaucrats who got him sent to prison. Or, anyone he happens to come across, doesn't seem to matter that much.

Featuring:
- Fun dual protagonists in Tom Atkins and Bruce Campbell.
- A 3rd act car chase that could best be described as "excessive"
- An entire set of scenes (the mayor's office) that were filmed on a toaster
- A pretty good looking practical stunt with a dude ramping off a truck into the ocean:

Skinamarink (2023)
-- Oops! Aaallllllllll establishing shots!
Alternately: My bro, have you read House of Leaves?

Didn't care for this one at all. I guess if it was actually happening to you it would be pretty creepy, but watching it on screen was a challenge of endurance rather than bravery. What if Paranormal Activity but actually nothing happened? What if that girl from The Blair Witch self portrait scene shot a whole movie on her 1st gen Nokia phone camera?

Even when something slightly scary does happen you're so pissed at the waste of the previous hour of your life that it's hard to care. Dude should have stuck to making 10 minute Youtube shorts because there is not a single thing that can possibly justify this 100 minute runtime :gonk:

Wait, the Skinamarink is a real movie? I thought it was some kind of Twitch meme.

It is, depending on how loosely you're willing to define 'movie'. The things that 'happen' in it are more suggested than actually shown on screen.

To be as fair as possible it is described as experimental and based on the creator's childhood dreams. And it cost 15k to make and they cleared 2M in theaters so good on them for that. Just very much not my bag man.

Don't know if I saw posts about it earlier, but if anyone is looking for a Drawn & Quartered contender The Spine of Night is a Heavy Metal-esque rotoscope thing about an evil/cursed power traveling around corrupting people.

Ginger Snaps (2001)
-- I'm way out on the corner of hosed Up and Evil!

A franchise that was completely under my radar until page 2001 of this thread when everyone was like 'yeah obviously it's GS for this page, what other possible choice is there? You'd have to be some sort of horror beta loser to not know about it already.
Me catching up with the thread:

Characters start out as tryhard :emo:

edgelords, but are teenagers in horror movies ever not terrible?

Attacked in the woods by a giant monster, covered in blood and lacerations. "No don't call 911 I'm ok." :effort:

Reading about the history of werewolves by the light of a skull candle :sbahj:

this is some early 2000s Hot Topic worship.

Fairly large dose of characters making bonehead decisions at the end of a horror movie, but no worse than other genre examples. A decent little monster flick with some moderate goop. If you want a werewolf movie that's framed as a metaphor for female puberty this is probably your best bet.

Versions of Faust (or stories heavily inspired by it) have been a basic part of horror media (and the Western canon as a whole) forever, but I don't believe I've ever actually seen a straight film adaptation before.

Some dude on IMDB made a list of the top 10 horror movies for every year since the dawn of cinema and I've been browsing through a decade or so every night. One thing I noticed was that for the first 20 years or so people just kept remaking the same 5 stories over and over. Dozens of Faust/Mephistopheles variants, Dorian Grey was really popular for some reason, and people were really into Svengali for a few years there.

Faust in 1897:

The tape in Ringu is cryptic, eerie, and has subtle clues about its origins. The tape in The Ring has generic spooky images that are about as scary as a flaming skull gif on a Geocities page.

The Ring tape is all references too :confused:

Just thinking back there's images of a ladder/chair, stuff with horses and the ocean, a few clips of her mother and of course the titular ring. I will back you up that Noah is largely a blank slate as a character and the kid is all but a direct HJO 6th Sense reference (though they both have much less screentime than Naomi). I must not mind the color filter because the look/atmosphere of the remake is what I remember much more than any of the cast. Driving around foggy old New England-y places is always creepy to me. Stuff like the lighthouse shining in through the farmhouse or the red tree on the hill really sticks with me.

The Night Eats the World (2018)
-- Now you are just like me.

I can't see someone namecheck multiple Gilliverse properties and not check out what they're selling, and in this case I definitely see where the comparisons come from. Hell yeah, playing out the zombie apocalypse like a survival horror roguelike :getin:

1. Manage your resources
2. Organize your inventory
3. Expand your territory

Was pretty surprised when they didn't go full dark and have him kill the only other survivor he meets and then lol get unreliable narrator'd son :unsmigghh:

Actually more zombie action than I was expecting, something like this could have worked with almost no on-screen threats, but this was fine too. A good slow burn zombie apocalypse flick.

Is As Above So Below well-regarded enough for Challenge 8: Second Chance? I see people list it all the time as one of the best found footage movies, and sometimes even as a good movie beyond the found footage format.

It's one of the better found/FPS footage entries I've seen. I think it gets a little goofy towards the end where their CGI reach exceeds their grasp/budget, but if you're into creepy claustrophobic stuff like The Descent it's definitely worth another shot iMO.

Terrifier (2016)
-- Good luck on your interview tomorrow.

A standard slasher with reasonable goop and gore, but stuffed so full of tropes it's hard to imagine anyone taking it seriously enough to be offended. If anything the infamous cleft in twain scene was a tamed down version of the actual medieval execution method. No way that lovely little hacksaw would have moved that fast :colbert:

Slasher ladies, when you get the drop on the killer and stab him once, that is not, in fact, your cue to get up and run away :doh:

Slasher ladies, when you discover a mutilated body and literally have a phone in your hand, you do not, in fact, have to use the flashlight function to explore dark scary passages. You can use the phone as a phone :eng101:

OK the whole thing being a flashback was a decent twist, points for that at least.

Recommended for being a decent slasher, but it's reputation as being anything shocking is well overblown IMO.

-- You have a wonderful mind, a doctorate degree, and beautiful tits.

Jaws in the midwest. Fond memories of this one from seeing it on TV back in the day. Didn't have any recollection of the lab animal growth experiment stuff to explain the size, I thought it just got big. Not technically a good movie, but a quite serviceable critter feature with significant 80s kid nostalgia.

Evil Dead II (1987)
-- A Farewell to Arms

A sequel? A reboot? Both?? I've seen lots of various ED clips but never sat down and properly watched them. This takes the more or less serious tone of the first film and goes full Loony Tunes, which on paper sounds like a terrible idea but obviously it worked out for them. The sequel lead in would have been a hell of a twist in '87. But still the most fantastical thing is how easy that chainsaw starts up every time :stare:

Blood Quantum (2020)

-- *raises hand* Can we panic now?

Zombies VS Indians. Pretty standard postapocalyptic fare, but everything looks good and there's buckets of blood. Like, Japanese grindhouse blood geysers amounts :getin:

Hey guys, maybe when you're screening new people for your zombie apocalypse survivor camp, maybe don't just take their word for it when they say they haven't been bit :downs:

Also features the world's worst blowjob.

Woke in Fright justification: There's some mention of how the 'townies' don't like natives from the reservation, but we never really see this much. However the entire 2nd half of the movie is based on white peoples being abused by tribe members. Very Us vs Them with easy parallels to general immigration/refugee issues of the day.

13. Mad God (2021) (first viewing)
(watched via AMC+/Shudder)

This is on my list, haven't seen it yet, but your summary makes it sound pretty similar to Junk Head. JH is an (almost) one-man stop motion film about a dystopian future explorer searching for the secret of reproduction in the undercities and getting his head/consciousness transferred into a series of increasingly junky robobodies. Might be a stretch to call it horror, but there are some fairly gross organic bits and there is a monster at the end so :shrug:

The Bat Whispers (1930)

-- I've seen you through Socialism, Fletcherism and rheumatism. But when it comes to Spookism I'm through!

Basically a stage play performed in front of a camera, albeit with more scene changes. And some pretty neat camera tricks for the time. The major environments get a camera fly-in on a miniature as establishing shots, and peep this "crane shot" in the opening:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhgEKm7-kOM&t=152s

This is borderline comedic, pretty much a farce with an endless stream of wacky characters clown-car'ing into this one lady's house to bumble around in the dark looking for stolen cash. The ending is a literal Scooby Doo meme, followed by a 4th wall smashing appeal to the audience to not spoil the ending for others. Dark and light are constant themes throughout, with the use of silhouettes approaching shadow puppetry in some scenes.

Audio is a bit rougher. I guess this was before people realized they needed to score films; almost the entire thing is people stomping around obviously hollow stage sets with only speaker-blasting fake thunder every few minutes to keep us company :negative:

The maid is straight up comic relief and I'm here for it.

Motel Hell: A Modest Proposal (1980)

-- Oh man this red's too heavy. We better find a place to crash. *crashes*

Broke: Dueling banjos
Woke: Dueling chainsaws

Country siblings run a rural hotel with a smoked meats business on the side. The meats are the best in the land but they contain a hOrRiBlE sEcReT ingredient that you'll just never guess... Mostly a pretty slow build up as we follow a girl who's just been adopted into the family. A reverse zombie attack at the end and the aforementioned chainsaw duel are fun. Still not sure what was up with the whole 'planting' thing, unless that was just the easiest way to secretly store them until they were ready to :fag:

Pretty light on the goop for a movie about an abattoir, but the gurgling noises were actually disgusting.

Takes No Damage: Nov 20, 2004; The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.; Grimey Drawer

Cemetery Man (1994)

-- 🎶Never should have gone out on the Boy Scout Picnic🎶

Fake Italian Hot Toipc afficionados vamp around a Stephen King's Pet Sematary (but for people). If Evil Dead II was a Giallo it would be this movie. I can also safely say this contains the most intense dick amputation / injection procedure I've ever seen :stare:

And a final wrap up for the month's viewing:
