The true best mask is the NES Jason mask.

I have the Neca one from the remake. It’s ok. Kinda flimsy and is about to snap in half lol. Their Freddy glove is neat but hard to wear due to a weird finger placement.

You guys and your prefabbed NECA masks, get on my level Cost me about $12 in materials to make, and I really want to make some more some time because it's so much fun. Maybe one for each movie.

I watched The Endless the other day on a Netflix whim and I think it’s my favorite horror I’ve seen this year that wasn’t called Mandy or Hereditary (never mind that I’m still trying to decide if I actually liked Hereditary despite the trauma or if I just respect it). Anyway, The Endless owns. I don’t want to say too much about it since it’s probably best to go into it blind, but one thing is for sure and that is that it’s proof that you don’t need a huge budget for big ideas to work.

X-Ray Pecs posted:And Heavenly Creatures! I haven’t seen that movie in forever! Heavenly Creatures is what they say "won" him LotR, but I have a strong suspicion that Dead Alive's party scenes--with the large amount of special effects, choreography, stunts, and sheer amount of zombies--is what secretly convinced the suits to give him LotR. It's easy to look at those scenes and say "Oh yeah, they guy could totally pull off large battles with orcs and elves and poo poo."

I still haven't seen Heavenly Creatures. I suspect his work on The Frighteners played a role in getting him LotR as well. That was a good movie, though very different from what I suspected.

Honestly I think Jackson's entire body of work played a part in convincing the studio to trust him. If he'd never branched out from splatter horror films, no I don't think they'd have taken him seriously. If he'd only done low budget art films like Heavenly Creatures, no I don't think they'd have thought he was capable of handling the big budget. But he'd shown impressive versatility and then yea I do think Frighteners showed them that he could work within the studio system and handle shooting with CGI effects.

Miramax/Disney didn’t want to pull the trigger on two movies with around $100 million dollars (someone who’s read DisneyWar more recently than me can jump in and correct me) between both of them because they thought it wasn’t going to succeed, even though Harvey (ugh) was assuring them it would be a good idea. After they passed, New Line gave him 3 movies at $100 million each. People were skeptical, but New Line took a chance and won out big time.

After they passed, New Line gave him 3 movies at $100 million each. People were skeptical, but New Line took a chance and won out big time. Looking back on it, that was such a great time to be a movie lover and I'm sure other studios in hindsight were like "wtf were we thinking?" Not just LOTR, but LOTR was the prime example of how CGI was opening up this entire new universe of possibilities for blockbuster filmmaking. Filming on Fellowship of the Ring began in 1999, so we're still less than a decade out from Jurassic Park. LOTR was this behemoth story that for a long time had been considered unfilmable for obvious reasons. So with all the new tools at their disposal, you'd think multiple studios would've been competing to make the movies after it became clear that these entire alternate worlds could now be realized on-screen. Sure, it's old hat now, there's very little novelty left in CGI effects. But I definitely remember what it was like when it was new and each new adaptation of a classic story had amazing possibilities because of how much special effects had taken a leap forward with CGI.

The major reason Disney balked was because of the price tag and the fact that it was an old story that people wouldn’t care about, not realizing that a big leap forward in CGI and action filmmaking would itself be a huge draw. This was also the era of Disney that was worried about Johnny Depp’s appearance tanking Pirates of the Caribbean.
