For some reason as a little kid I loved watching TCM and AMC, I guess I thought it made me more mature or something but it ended up getting me hooked on awesome old stuff like Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein and The Omega Man.

We should bring Jason into the more modern era and have him doing something like chopping up a bunch of jerkwads at a thinly concealed Fyre Festival type event.

As long as the setting is cool you can give me the most thin of plot reasons for Jason being somewhere.

Only movie I ever walked out of was Hope Springs (2012). Meryl Streep trying to give Tommy Lee Jones head in a theater was my breaking point on that one.

The near cunnilingus in ReAnimator was more erotic.

Go back to arguing which Friday the 13th film is the best (It's Jason X) and less about Florence Pugh , her boobs, and her career in Hollywood

Part V is very very good. Probably towards the top of the power rankings.

Jason Goes to Hell is bizarre because apparently they wanted to make a more "grown-up" movie by casting mostly people in their thirties and older, but too much is cartoonish and nobody behaves like a real person.

EDIT: Also, am I misremembering or are the FBI agents actually in a circle around Jason at the beginning? How did they avoid shooting each other?

That's such an insane scene though they eventually cut back and show the FBI are in a semi-circle in front of Jason. But then guys are coming in on ropes out of trees, there's a mounted machine gun and a finishing blow artillery strike on Jason.

I barely think of Part 8 as a Friday the 13th movie and it improves my enjoyment of it and I gotta agree that it looks awesome.

I would be shocked if the next F13 or ANoES movie didn't have a post credits stinger teasing the crossover to gauge audience hype. It's been 20 years since the last FvJ so it might be due another crack in some fashion.

Engagement post of the day on Bluesky was "What is the best part three of a horror franchise?" and drat, there are some bangers to pick from:
  • Exorcist III
  • Dream Warriors
  • Army of Darkness
  • Day of the Dead
  • Purge: Election Year

This is a mega tough call between Exorcist 3 and Day of the Dead.

I think I have to give it up to Exorcist 3. No one in those other movies is holding a candle to what George C Scott and Brad Dourif are putting down.

I've been watching shuffled up episodes of a bunch of horror anthology series while I clean the house and uh, have I been sleeping on the first Twilight Zone reboot? Some of the episodes are sappy but I really liked The Beacon.

And the Monster cereals are on the shelves by me. There is a new addition so we'll see how that one is.




I wasn't really impressed with the new monster cereal flavor, I've yet to bust into the box of monster mash. But Count Chocula is as on point as ever thankfully.

I bet if you took the Monster Mash mix and do it up rice crispy treat style it would look awesome. I might have to do that before it leaves the shelves.

I absolutely love the haunted houses with folks jumping out and crap. One of the coolest rooms I remember going through in one you would press through some inflatable bumpers, on the other side you were still being pressed on by the bumpers from the waist down but there were only strobe lights and it looked like you were wading through a room filled with body parts. The actors were wailing and flailing around. It was bad rear end and super freaky. It felt like walking through one of the Hell scenes from Event Horizon.

BODY PARTS, Eric Red, 1991
THE RAPTURE, Michael Tolkin, 1991
DUST DEVIL, Richard Stanley, 1992
WHEN A STRANGER CALLS BACK, Fred Walton, 1993

Anyone want to make a pitch for me to try to squeeze any of these in during October?

Body Parts is awesome/bonkers and has one of the best scenes ever put to film. Also Brad Dourif is in it.

A bible verse displayed on screen in the opening, then a voice-over about the verse, then more about the devil story in voice-over and in-scene conversation. It's OK, but honestly treats the audience as incapable of understanding THIS IS THE MESSAGE, PLEASE GET THE MESSAGE

I remember seeing Devil with some friends that didn't really watch horror and they were blown the gently caress away lol. I'm glad they had a great time but it was really not great.

It’s not like nobody making these films knew. If you look up the details of his crimes you’ll see how blatant and public it was.

And once you know that poo poo just jumps off the screen at you. "Ah yeah there's this horrible monster that hunts and devours young men... gently caress."

The scene where the Creeper rips it's own head off is extremely cool though, props to the effects team that worked on that one.

Are there many/ any films that have it both ways? Like you think you're watching a demon film set on a boat (are there any of these, seems like a solid idea tbh) but then it's like, psyche, just a killer shark.

But then the film's like, double psyche, and the mermaids attack.

It might be cheating since it's an anthology but Trick r' Treat kinda does this with the werewolf reveal?

You think it's a vampire, it's really a serial killer, omg werewolves!

I was a remarkably dumb kid in a lot of ways and would take things very literally. Some kid at school told me the movie The Untouchables was about aliens that possessed people to do crimes (hence they were 'untouchable') and I asked my parents to rent the movie for me. The next time I saw him I kept asking where the drat aliens were and he admitted he mixed it up with some other movie (which I think might have been the Tommyknockers, since he also talked about green lights a lot).

There's some stuff as a kid you can never really replicate as an adult. My friend just telling me the plot and what happened in Event Horizon on a dark car ride through the country was a thousand times more scary than the movie ended up being.
