My sweet boy Robert Zombie is at 5 and he still has his 4 best movies! (and Superbeasto….) He has a lot of frequent collaborators but none of them directors however there is one director who has put a Rob Zombie cameo in every single one of his films, James Gunn. So I’d like to team them up as Zombie Gunn. I think Slither feels at home with Zombies filmography anyway. Rob Zombie House of 1000 Corpses Halloween The Devils Rejects Lords of Salem The Haunted World of El Superbeasto James Gunn Slither WeaponX fucked around with this message at 17:19 on Dec 8, 2023 |

My other fav James Wan is under 6 films so I’d like to introduce Teamsidious- the collected films of directors in the Insidious Franchise. James Wan Saw Insidious The Conjuring The Conjuring 2 Leigh Whannel Insidious: Chapter 3 Upgrade The Invisible Man Adam Robitel The Taking of Deborah Logan Insidious: The Last Key Escape Room Escape Room: Tournament of Champions Patrick Wilson Insidious: The Red Door Feel like there is some interesting synergy between these guys.

STAC Goat posted:Friendly reminder. Don’t make nominations in edits. Not as some kind of rule or anything but because I keep track of this by going post by post and adding to the spreadsheet. So if you edit a post after I’ve been there I have no idea and lose all track. Also always good to double check to make sure your noms have been registered. Just give me a chance but feel free to double check my work if I miss something.  Ok I will steal your idea and go with The Zombie Brothers Rob Zombie House of 1000 Corpses Halloween The Devils Rejects Lords of Salem The Haunted World of El Superbeasto Spider One Allegoria Bury the Bride Not nearly as strong as Slither but thems the brakes. Maybe Mr. One has some of that magic that his older brother has.

STAC Goat posted:The problem I see is missing films. Eisner has Hobo with A Shotgun, Dullifield has Spontaneous, and Kostanski has Leprechaun Returns, Fathers Day, and Manborg. Don’t know I missed all those Kostanski movies but that poster for Spontaneous does not read as horror on first glance lol. Let me fix it. I’ll abandon the 100% alien gimmick but it’s still mostly on theme. In Space No One Can Hear You Stream- a collection of mostly extra-terrestrial horror Ridley Scott Prometheus John McTiernan Nomads Predator Robert Lieberman Fire in the Sky The Tortured Brian Duffield Spontaneous No One Will Save You Jason Eisener Hobo with a Shotgun Kids vs. Aliens Ryan Kruger Fried Barry Andrew Patterson The Vast of Night I will make a separate team for Kostanski tomorrow.

So yes, I’m the one who has been torturing everyone with Andy Milligan films every year. Ultimately I just find the guy endlessly fascinating. Starting as an off-off-broadway menace of experimental shenanigans and becoming an unabashed pioneer of underground queer film, a 42nd street regular, and by all accounts, a truly unpleasant man. Milligan said he was “born angry” and so many of his films are seething with rage. His animosity towards women, and particularly mothers, is ever present. He supposedly yelled out “she was a bitch!” during his long estranged mothers eulogy. A guy who wasn’t above casting lovers who would go on to become legitimate domestic terrorists (really). His films are chock full of sexual misconduct, incest, brutal violence, and everything in between. It’s a little hard recommending Andy Milligan to others given just how nasty he, and his films, can be. But his DIY, slapped together, independent filmmaking is something to behold. He had a loyal John Waters ala Staten Island Crew that would film things like Torture Dungeon on micro-budgets. A true tortured artist, died penniless and destitute. Watching his films you wonder, why did this guy even want to make these? He seems to hate everything and everyone. But it’s that intense desire to create despite the repulsion of nearly everyone who watches his films that draws me to his works. They should make a biopic about this guy some day! So Torture Dungeon, actually a pretty good draw for Milligan. It’s far sillier than some of his other films. Milligans trademark bare bones budget is on full display, cheap sets, cheap costumes, framing so tight you feel like the screen is closing in on you. High school production have better scenery. Certainly better wigs. And since it’s a Milligan, plenty of boobs, butts, and dicks. It’s less “Torture Dungeon” and more “chatting in a Staten Island backyard garden with a horny hunchback”. But it’s incredibly goofy, endearingly so. No attempt to recreate any sort of medieval time period, just real schlock. Tormented just wasn’t my jam at all. Yucky in the not fun way. Demon City Shinjuku was good. Solid stuff and I wouldn’t be mad if that team moved on, but my vote is for Andy Milligan and Torture Dungeon.

I watched the OG Tales From the Crypt for a Spook A Doodle challenge at some point and I liked it a lot. The 70s Amicus style is almost a double edged sword, on one hand you have great 70s styling and on the other hands it’s a lot of indiscernible British dudes with the same haircut. And somewhat unfairly, a lot of their stories have been told to death since. But there’s still a lot of horror flair here and I especially love this version of the “Monkeys Paw” story. Dead Heat I have had on my short life for a while so I’m happy to finally check it out. It’s a pretty fun mix of horror and the most generic buddy cop formula (there’s even a police chief to tell them they are out of line!). I agree with a lot of the sentiment here, some fun 80s schlock when you can find a way to deal with Joe Pescipo. My god, what did we as a society ever see in him!? He plays the part like someone trying to play a hack 80s comedian. Sister Death was a bit of a bore so oh well, this one’s still a fun genre bender and ultimately my vote goes to Dead Heat this round. WeaponX fucked around with this message at 07:21 on Jan 7, 2024 |

Event Horizon is a great pick for my team, Game Over, which I’ll admit, has a lot of crap in it but man what poor luck going up against a behemoth. I’m glad Event Horizon is getting some love ITT but NoES might be my favorite horror movie of all time. Will gladly do a rewatch of both tho!

Basebf555 posted:There's a lot of scenarios where I'd absolutely vote against The Innkeepers. I've never been a much of a fan, for me House of the Devil was a lot better. In particular I don't think The Innkeepers has a satisfying ending, it's a slow burn with almost no payoff. It's well shot and well made overall though, which is why I'm forced to vote for it in this matchup. Glad you said this, sometimes feel like I’m the only one generally underwhelmed by The Innkeepers. It just kinda bored me. And I also adore House of the Devil. But yeah, it’s certainly not a badly made film but I always feel a little crazy when ppl are gushing over Innkeepers. Deadly Friend is a lot of fun and Trance is one of those films where I’m happy for anyone who digs it but I’m good lol

I am looking forward to revisiting The Visit and will try not to let the title of Witching and Bitching impact my perception of it. If it’s any consolation, the original title is “Las Brujas de Zugarramurdi” or “The Witches of Zugarramurdi”

Buechler was a solid hand and you are pretty much guaranteed numerous rubber puppets with his films. Thought some of those in Deep Freeze were pretty fun.
