I'm going to try to keep up with this thread this time.

Dark Night of the Scarecrow was on The Last Drive-In last night and it was a surprisingly good made-for-TV horror movie

I�m peddling my wares at a horror/goth makers market today so I�m downloading Return of the Living Dead to watch while people ignore my booth

I was planning on watching it on the real day tomorrow but today�s close enough

Good luck goon

Everybody go check out and support your local horror/goth makers market, you might find some absolutely sick poo poo like this

The fricking thing is 2 feet tall, weighs like 15 pounds, included the attached 5-foot chain, and yes that is a physical hole in the middle of the evil star

So far I�ve sold three pieces which beats my previous market record by three. People in Minnesota just aren�t in the market for what I make

Speaking of trailers I asked my wife if she wanted to watch Ravenous with me and I showed her the trailer. The trailer was so bad it made me reevaluate my memory of the movie. Like I don�t remember the movie being hokey but the trailer sure makes it looks that way

Do you have an Etsy or something similar?

Hollismason posted:

Post your etsy or your estore or whatever. I wanna see more stuff.

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.

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.

The first two that came to mind are The Shining and 28 Days Later

I love how calm he is when he calls Bert. "Bert, yeah we got a little problem"

Fun fact : There exists a version of the graveyard dance where Linnea Quigley has pubic hair. However, the producer saw it and said we can't have that so then they had Quigley shave everything off, then they were like "That's worse you can see everything" , then they developed a prosthesis that was flesh colored to cover up her vagina. That's why she looks like a Barbie doll.

Didn�t this same thing happen with the actress in Lifeforce? The 80s were a weird time

There�s also a listing on shudder for Just Joe Bob, which are the segments without the movies. They�re usually not that interesting without seeing the movie but if you�ve seen Mad God and only want to see this interview with Phil Tippett it�s good for jumping straight to that.

I like the final destination movies for comfort horror. They're dumb but well made and they go down smooth

I'm the same, when I'm looking to zone out I'll put on these and other late 90s/early 2000s mindless schlock like 13 Ghosts or House on Haunted Hill. There's something fun about the overwrought drama and bad decisions that comes standard in every character. The Saw series works too.

If I want to watch something to feel better my go-tos are Evil Dead 2, Dawn of the Dead, and Night of the Demons.

Creep is one of the worst movies I�ve ever seen wow. pretty much every movie in that first two rows of best of Netflix are unwatchable. it follows was good. i will stick with goon recs.

spoilers follow. the android app lets you click a button and immediately add spoiler tags and images iOS users are being robbed.
there�s a scene where you think the movie is throwing you a curveball and it doesn�t, then it continues to play out incredibly linearly and predictably. nothing but jump scares to pay off the forever shots.

I'm with you on not liking creep. I know characters in horror movies generally make bad decisions but the protagonist made so many bad decisions I was hoping he'd die soon just to end the movie, and that's saying something because the movie is only 77 minutes long.

Also that actor chose to wait so long between lines that I'm pretty sure 30 of those minutes are just his pregnant pauses.

Diminishing returns. The second one is basically the first one but less tense since you already know the deal. The third one is just weird, they swung for the fences on that one and for me it didn't work at all.

In general definitely the top one with the blood. But I can see why you�d ask that because I�m not 100% happy with how that specific blood works.

Is this still planning and you can mess with it? A revamp on the bloody bit might make it perfect.

This is just the blueprint so anything can change. I agree about the blood, it should be more splattered or something since it�s a chainsaw.

I think the teeth disappearing when the blood starts jumps out a bit, but I like the concept!

I was hoping I could use the blood to get away with removing 5 of the teeth because each one is extra work. One long piece of blood is easier than five small teeth. I agree it does look odd though

this is sick, is it gonna be a neon sign or something

Fake neon, it�s made from LED lights but looks close enough for what I want. Here�s the barbenheimer sign I made last weekend, it�s almost as good as real neon but it doesn�t have that back glow from the round tube.

I think it's important to note that you can have the chain blink off and on, and if you make two of them at different rotations it will blink as if it's moving.

If I had any idea how to do that I would give it a shot. I've never made an animated sign but I would like to.

The only chairs I've noticed in a movie are the chairs Francis Dollarhyde had in Manhunter. Where did he get them? His whole house was decorated oddly though, I think he had a giant print of the moon on one wall.

Have you got any horror short story recommendations for Grade 7, 12 years olds?

I'm thinking The Jaunt, to start them off with a bang (after editing out that line about dog semen wtf).

Something I don't have to check line by line for obscenity, but will still give them a good spook.

I think Robert Aickman's stories are fantastic. They eerie in a way nightmares are, where everything is kind of off and the protagonist is just trying to deal with it. They aren't gory or sexy but they are written in kind of an aristocratic language that might not be accessible to kids, but I'd say read The Hospice and see if that works for you.
