coppola fired the effects director when he told him the things he wanted were 'impossible' then put his son roman in his place and did them anyway. insane poo poo, one of my favorites just for how it was all put together

phantasm - my grandma loved horror movies. i remember watching stuff like friday the 13th and nightmare on elm street with her when i was tiny. this is one of those movies i had hazy memories of watching with her but didn't really remember at all. its fun, campy and cheesy, with the just the right amount of creep from angus scrimm. dog soldiers - sick effects, great characters, and tense, claustrophobic setting. loved this the first time i saw it and it still holds up. i hope i give you the shits!! in the mouth of madness - big fan of cosmic horror so this was right up my alley. i had only seen it once on a late-night tv showing, so it was chopped to poo poo. obviously much better fully viewed, its definitely not carpenters greatest but sam neill loses his god drat mind so i was enthralled.

horror express (1972) - an old favorite. i remember my grandma having an ancient VHS copy of it from some bootleg distributor. lee and cushing are great as usual, adding gravitas when needed. i like the setting on the trans-siberian rail, its a really isolating feel thundering through untouched snowy wilderness. some of the effects are wild for the early 70s but it runs a bit out of steam in the third act when it can't seem to decide what kind of horror movie it is. great stuff 3/5 prince of darkness - this and the thing are carpenter at his finest imo. the bizarre dreamlike feel to everything helps to ramp up the tension. donald pleasence and victor wong are miles ahead of the other actors in this, their conversations on the metaphysical aspects of evil are really compelling to watch. great cameo from the king of shock himself too. 4.5/5 the thing - what can be said that hasn't already? a masterpiece of the genre. 5/5 arachnophobia - way creepier when you're 5 years old. it was just kind of slow and boring and the townspeople are extremely retarded. jeff fuckin daniels is hiding in your slipper waiting to kill you 1.5/5

also watched candyman tonight. i've seen it a few times (most memorably when i was 7 and it made me afraid to look in a mirror for a bit lmao). really smart and cutting film, and downright uncomfortable to watch at points. really love this one.Fungah! posted:tony todd ftw

the house of the devil tense and taut. a real slow-burn throwback to the pacing of stuff like the omen. loved that they used a lot of the film techniques and equipment from that time too, if you told me it was made in the 70s or 80s i would believe you. the return of the living dead campy, gory, and darkly funny. sometimes you just need a good splatter flick that doesn't take itself seriously suspiria dario argento ftmfw

bram stoker's dracula (my pick) one of my favorite movies of all time. over the top in all of the best ways. that entire scene where dracula lands in london and is rushing through the streets while the music is thumping, god drat. based coppola
