I didn't see Hollis' original post but yea I was offered the chance to run the challenge this year and it's a pretty long running tradition now that I've been a part of and I would like to see it continue as long as possible. But I certainly would defer to others who may have a more specific vision for it that I may not be in a position to follow through on.

On the subject: Last Voyage of the Demeter has been pulled from UK release indefinitely, since eOne, the distribution company that was putting it out, just got bought out by Lionsgate. Kinda mad because I was gonna see it tomorrow.

After watching In the Mouth of Madness—what are some of the best executions of the Hobb's End style small sleepy spooky quaint King style town? I've already got Salem's Lot on the list.

BioEnchanted posted:

Just got around to In the Mouth of Madness with Sam Neill as I'd never got around to it before. It's a fun movie. I particularly like the exchanges like "I am not fiction!" "I think, therefore you are." it gives the second line a cute double meaning. I also love the wry bits like "What about the people who don't read?" "There's going to be a movie." "A movie... of course..." And let's not forget the ending that became a meme, with Sam watching the entire story playing out as a movie exactly as he experienced it and just allowing himself to give in as he bursts into laughter at the futility of his struggle and just stays there, watching the movie on repeat.

I wanted to quote a Tommy Boy joke but unfortunately it's impossible to know whether stuff happened in that movie or Black Sheep

Hey, in the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory movie, do the kids who disappear from the tour ever reappear or is it ever explained what happened to them?

Englund definitely could have and should have been a horror anthology wrap-around host by now. Seems like a no-brainer, he's perfectly for it.

You know who would be perfect for introducing a horror anthology show?

Tom Waits.

Just him as himself (so, the devil) in some big rusty abandoned building with fire and steam and chains everywhere. He growls out some puns and laughs hysterically. Then we watch people get murdered for an hour.

What's something that's very spooky, but also a bit slow and melancholy? That just lets you soak in that spooky atmosphere. Ideally pre-90s.

Hollismason posted:

Whats a 90 minute 80s movie I could watch. You have 1 hour for recommendations otherwise I'll probably end up watching something like Child's Play or I dunno maybe F13 film or something

I was shocked they managed to get Chevy Chase to do a mini-interview video for the special features, I figured he'd never want to go near that movie again (and also he's kind of a dick, I'm told).

Updated my Spooktober List, with an additional personal challenge, I'm trying to see as many movies from LB's Top 250 Horror list and no more than one movie from any year. 2015 and 11 are current empty and I'm not saying I don't want to watch a ton of Giallo, but it never clicked with me and any chance to dodge the 70s I can get, I'll take. Has anyone seen Despite the Night (15) or Take Shelter (11)? Are they worthy of being on the Top 250 list? (I've seen everything else from those years)

Just started watching Lair of the White Worm for the first time, knowing only that it takes place in the English countryside and features Hugh Grant, and I am absolutely dying that the movie's first sentence is virtually unintelligible English 'OYYY WOTS ALL THIS THEN' gibberish. Absolutely rules.

How do you guys usually decide what you're going to watch for October?

I usually just set up everything I haven't watched in front of my TV and then randomly pick from there.

I tried to specifically plan each movie out one year, but it didn't feel as fun, and I like to have friends over and let them choose so they feel like they're involved.

I really should not have started paying attention to the continuity of Friday the 13th.

Did you ever think about how they technically take place in an alternate future? There’s a five year time-skip between 1 and 2 ; 2, 3 and 4 are a span of consecutive days ; 5 is actually pretty wonky and theoretically could be anywhere after 4 ; 6 Tommy is a grown-rear end man so it’s been at least 8 years barest minimum. (Likely more) That’s 13* years in the story but the movies come out one per year. So while the movie came out in 1986, inside the movie it’s 1993.

Then 7 loving happens. Bam, opening of the movie we got a young Tina and a calendar on the wall that says October 13. Because of a quirk of the calendar, there are more Friday the 13ths than any other day of the week, but you still only get one in a given month once a decade or so. For reference there is/was/will be a Friday the 13th in October for 1978, 1989, 1995, 2000, 2006, 2017 and 2023.

Absolute earliest, the beginning of 7 takes place in 1995, a whole 6 years after the movie’s release**. And that’s completely ignoring how they built that house and moved in in just two years. But that’s before Tina grows up and we jump forward even further. So really in 7 it’s the mid-2000’s at the earliest, but likely much later.

*Haha
*I never said it was the far future.

Night Creatures is a good time. I've really enjoyed every Hammer movie I've seen. They all have a solid little story, a couple really good actors to anchor it, a couple smoking hot babes, just a little bit of blood and murder. They figured out the formula.
