It’s great that Jason went to space because I feel like he is the horror icon who would least understand the concept. He definitely didn’t know anything about what was going on in Jason X, whereas Freddy or Chucky would be more aware and have a lot of space related bits prepared.

But ultimately they should all go to space. Maybe even at the same time. Like a space battle royale.

I believe the reason horror doesn't get big accolades is it's too good of a genre for those awards. Horror is beneath them.

True. What was the last horror movie to really make some noise at the Oscars? Was it Silence of the Lambs? Pans Labyrinth I guess?

The Shape Of Water won best picture, and I believe it's the only horror film to win best picture. Haters and doubters will pretend it's dark fantasy or Gothic romance but it has a Gillman dammit. Poor Things also won several awards this year. Those are the only ones really.

Oh, wait, Get Out was very highly regarded. Of course, then the Academy snubbed Nope as hard as possible.

quote:

Hey, you!" Jason whirled. The two giggling females were standing
in a grassy area with the moon right behind them, wearing nothing
but little belly shirts and panties along with their big mindless
smiles. One of them held up a bottle and wiggled it at him.

"You want a beer?" she asked, giggling some more.

"Or do you want to smoke some pot?" added the other one,
producing a joint.

"Or we could just have pre-marital sex!" said the first one
cheerfully.

He stared as they tossed away the beer and the joint to pull their
shirts off over their heads. Topless now, they each struck a pose as if
they were having their picture taken.

"We just love pre-marital sex!" they said in unison.

Jason raised his machete and advanced on them. But instead of
screaming and running away, they only climbed into a pair of


sleeping bags lying on the grass behind them and continued to giggle
as heartily as ever.

He bent over and took a closer look at them. They registered as live
humans but oddly. Were these the ones he had sensed eluding him
before? Why didn't they do that now if they could? Or scream and
run?

Defective. They were defective. Like him, when he had been a
living creature.

No, not like him. They were happy; no one would want to hurt
them.

That settled, he zipped them into their sleeping bags and bashed
them alternately against each other and a nearby tree. Finally they
started squealing and screaming and they kept it up long after other
humans would have stopped. He would not have cared how long it
went on except that in between, they were also still giggling.

Late Night with the Devil was cute but felt pretty underpowered - though I liked the group hypnosis bit a lot and the vibes in the climax were really fun, it's really lacking on the horror side. I kinda wish it had adhered more to the found footage element, but maybe I'm just spoiled by The Devil of Christmas. Shame about the AI, every time one of those godawful interstitials pops up it might as well just cut to one of the directors having a terrible time on the toilet.

Also I liked the detail of the censor not catching the first f-bomb. And Ingrid Torelli is loving fantastic.

Everything about it (except the AI) was top notch but like you said, needed more horror.

“HTTP colon SLASH SLASH!!”

Freddy sucks someone into the computer and they’re crushed by the 3D pipes screensaver.

The dialup noises get so shrill someone’s ears start bleeding. Then their mom picks up the phone, hears it, and complains the kid is always on the internet and they need to make a call.

Freddy puts the pets.com sock puppet over his claw and shreds it.

Give us a late 90s period piece Freddy on the internet movie.

just a dogshit movie. first time in a long time I've seen walkouts. So long for so little and the twist was sub-Shayamalan. No. M Night is still kinda good at twists. its sub-the joke about Shyamalan twists.

On the ai thing I now fully believe there was no malpractice in the sense that they didn’t hire a graphics person. The actual fake photos and such are kind of rear end so I’m just going to rudely assume that the person they hired wasn’t that amazing. Hence why, they used AI to fill in the gaps.

In other news...

I'm working through the suggested categories and my own ideas for the upcoming

:spooky: May 2024 Horror Challenge! :spooky:

I'm thinking about when to announce the categories. The first day is a bit awkward because May 1 is a Wednesday. We'll for sure get four full weekends no matter what, and May 31 is a Friday for any Friday night features. The weekend before the 1st is too early to start, that's like an extra week, but do people have any strong opinions about the thread launching and the challenge being announced maybe April 29 or April 30 to give a little time for people to plan? Totally open to suggestions.

EDIT: April 29/30, not May. I'm not a monster, even if I am horror-adjacent.

I'm open to whenever. Soon as the thread's posted, I'm tearing out the gate full clip.

Considering how many professional skeptics I've seen who were exactly that smug and pretentious, I thought he was an excellent portrayal.
