I'll just redo my first throwing down the gauntlet post from the last thread Best opening scene is TCM with the narration, the camera flashes of the dug up corpse in the dark, to the corpse on the monument. TCM is also the best horror movie. TCM 2 is awful. Also, Jason Lives is the best. Phantasm I-IV are all good for dif reasons. Tom Atkins  Linnea Quigley in ROTLD is best horror babe. Bram Stoker's Dracula is a hilariously bad mess, but a beautiful looking one. Suspiria is by far the most overrated horror movie, but a beautiful looking one. The remake is way better. Black Christmas is the best slasher, and better than Halloween by a lot. Rob Zombie is just ok. Eli Roth has never been good. Evil Dead > Evil Dead II Freddy is better than Michael and Jason and it ain't even close Midsommar>Hereditary Both Rosemary's Baby and Carrie aren't that good Found footage sucks

dark night of the scarecrow is really a lowkey gem. The main characters after the opening are lovely yokels who end up getting owned. What I really like about it is that it's a slasher that predominantly features people who are middle aged at the youngest. There's no teen hijinks, no hokey scarecrow swinging a scythe, just farming accidents: the movie and a cool little reveal at the end.

I just remembered a scene from The Redeemer: Son of Satan (aka Class Reunion Massacre) where a guy in a clown mask drowns someone in the sink of a school and it was kinda intense compared to the rest of the movie.

Lil Mama Im Sorry posted:The 8mm films were great, i wish they would’ve come up with a better wrap-around story to just keep making family snuff sequels the difference in quality and tone between the 8mm stuff, and the scenes with svengoolie and d'onofrio's hilarious exposition about him are so stark, it's like they're from different movies.

BioEnchanted posted:The worst thing that the NOES franchise did was the terrible backstory for Freddy where his mother (trigger warning for SA)was a nun who was raped by 100 madmen, He worked better when he was just the neighbour who happened to murder children, that's far creepier. No reason behind why he's so evil, he just is like that. and then that wasn't enough, so they had to add that he was also picked on in school (because the second graders somehow knew the 100 maniacs poo poo) and also abused by his foster father. Really dumb poo poo

Hollismason posted:Cushing actually played Sherlock Holmes a few times but I'm not sure if you'll be able to track down his other movies. He was also in a Sherlock Holmes TV series , but I'm also not sure how readily available that is. Out of the sixteen eps of the Cushing Sherlock Holmes series, only six survive. The rest fell victim to the BBC's tape reusing.

What's some good creepy horror or gritty thriller movies that mostly take place in abandoned buildings (not a single regular old haunted house), preferably with lots of graffiti and/or Silent Hill type grime. I'm thinking Candyman, Escape from NY, Deadbeat at Dawn, Session 9 ish stuff. Bonus if the building(s) are in the middle of nowhere instead of a big city, like the end of True Detective S1.

The pilot to Black Mirror is a man loving a pig on live TV with all the dour seriousness of Requiem for a Dream. Respect. It has a better hit rate than most anthology shows.

Afraid of the Dark (1991) is my underseen pick (884 watched on LB). It's one of those horror adjacent coming of age movies, like Celia or The Reflecting Skin. It's a somber movie that has some dark, weird poo poo and I don't know a single person who has seen it.

A movie made with the purpose of instilling fear and/or disgust/revulsion in the viewer is a fine enough guide for horror, but even that has exceptions. Instilling suspense is typically seen as more the mark of a thriller, which implies a kind of nervous anticipation of the unknown (which is why most thrillers are mysteries of some kind), but parsing suspense from fear isn't always easy or possible. Some people in the debate think that the very concept of suspense might be incoherent anyway. Can I really say there's a distinct difference between the suspense of the neighbor slowly approaching Jimmy Stewart's apartment at the end of Rear Window vs. Michael Myers stalking Laurie from across the street, or Sadako lumbering towards the TV screen? Who knows, so it's whatever. Art is hard.

The military base setting is really what kills 3. Such a drab environment full of assholes. The amusement park at the end is super cool, but it's too little too late. Should've set the whole movie there and just done a Ghoulies 2 remake with Chucky.

The voodoo incantation that causes a massive explosion kinda tips it off from the getgo, lol. If Child's Play were made in the 70's, I could see it being a weird slow burn Roeg or Polanski type psych thriller, maybe along the lines of Magic. I'd kinda like to have seen that, but it never would've gotten a sequel, which means no Child's Play 2, and that's unacceptable..

Always thought it was weird that Rambo was never shirtless in IV. It's his main thing, dude. I thought maybe Sly was self conscious about getting older and lumpier or something but then he was shirtless in a movie right after that and was crazy jacked.

Baron von Eevl posted:I think the Judas thing is all Craven. Craven just "executive produced" to have his name out on it as a favor to the writer/director, who was his longtime editor Patrick Lussier. Lussier wrote it, oddly enough, with a dude who was the 2nd unit director on Nightmare 2. That guy would go on to be one of the producers on the Pulse remake, which Craven originally wrote (w Vince Gilligan) and had planned to direct before the Weinsteins screwed him over.
