haha yeah i meant to elaborate on that. i think if Spielberg had directed it we probably wouldn't have gotten all the corpses in the swimming pool for better or worse

There was a rape revenge movie made years ago where these 3 women who were surgeons would kidnap guys and then castrate them. I just remember they did it to one guy and he woke up then he went to pee and started screaming. No I don't know the name of the movie. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Is there any chance that this was Rape Squad (also known as Acts of Vengeance) from 1974? I only remember it from being in a collection of negative Ebert reviews I had as a kid, but it sounds like it could be in the ballpark.

I don’t sell them online because I’m not dedicated enough to making them to keep a store stocked. Also the shipping on these things is absurd. The few I’ve sent out have cost way more to ship than they do to build. Today was the first market I’ve done since last October and I was just filling in for someone that had to drop out.

I mostly make them as a hobby because I personally want horror/occult themed neon signs to hang on my walls.

I post most of my stuff to Instagram if you want to see more but I haven’t updated in a while.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

I watched the most recent episode of The Last Drive-In which featured Beyond the Door III and Dark Night of the Scarecrow.

Scarecrow is great, a great little EC Comics-esque morality story about a bunch of evil people getting their comeuppance. Highly recommended for anyone who hasn't seen it.

Door is one of the weirdest movies I've ever seen in terms of structure and character motivations. It takes half an hour to get on the demonic train, which should be the main draw of the thing, but it immediately gets batshit crazy once they're on that thing. The train brutally murders people, including jumping off its own tracks to run down two people in a lake, and people inside the train also go crazy and start turning into monsters and attacking each other. This one is also highly recommended because it's just so weird.

Not my idea, but Jim Henson’s Creature Shop working on a kaiju movie would have been amazing. They could have pulled off some insane giant puppet thing for Godzilla to fight

Edit: for that matter, them making any large monster in a horror movie would have been amazing too. Thinking of something like the giant thing at the end of Species II

For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast,
And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed;
And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill,
And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still

I wish Sidney Lunet had tried his hand at real horror just once; I think the closest he got was Equus (Or maybe The Wiz?), but he was so gifted at conveying information without dialogue and ratcheting up tension that I think it could have been something special. Somewhere between Polanski and Ari Aster maybe, just going off vibes.

I know you all will blast me for this but The Russo Brother doing horror would be interesting. They managed to do a pretty good job of creating tension in The Winter Solider and despite the Marvel method, I think they do a good job of keeping you focused on your characters but with all this chaos going on around you.

The scene in Network where Howard Beale is dragged into a dark boardroom and given one of the greatest villain speeches ever right before The loving Ending is so good and really shows a glimpse of that. I feel like if nothing else Lumet could've made one of those police procedural/horror combinations like 10 To Midnight and it would have been an absolute classic. drat.

It's not much of a stretch to imagine The Dark Crystal or Labyrinth going much darker and scarier, they already had pretty great atmospheres.

He's actually going to be in a horror movie if I remember right. Like that's his next big project, but I'm unsure if he's directing it.

What's the best horror film by a director who is mostly known for working outside of the genre. The Exorcist is the easy answer, but I'm sure there are a lot of interesting picks I'm too dumb to think of. Alien I think would count.

I just rewatched Body Bags last week and this very small creepy scare stood out, so it's some bad gross graffiti but it sets a great tone for the rest of the story.


This scene from Scream 2 lives in my mind whenever I use the toilet at the cinema.


But the story told in Candyman just absolutely terrified me as a young kid, I'd say I shat myself - but that would mean I'd have to run to the toilet, and I'm staying the gently caress away.

I love the hell out of this movie. It took me a while to figure out that it must have been made for TV because something seemed a bit off about the pacing etc. the first time I saw it.

As far as directors who could probably do a banger of a horror movie I nominate Steve McQueen. If anyone has seen Shame it wouldn't take much for him to spin a story like that into full on horror. Give him Fassbender as a lead and we're in business.
