Eye trauma is something I always have to flinch away from, but Fulci's work makes me watch it. It's just so good it loops around my phobia and becomes impressive.

Just like how finding out Rob Zombie was literally raised in a travelling carnival that disintegrated in a bloosoaked riot pretty much explains his entire oeuvre I keep waiting for the revelation that Fulci's dad was an incompetent opthalmic surgeon with really shakey hands.

Thank you to whoever recommended the Supercontext podcast! I've been enjoying listening to it at work, especially the episode about Carpenter's apocalypse trilogy. What are some other good podcasts that talk about horror? Or movies in general.

Bleh... I'm really just following along and watching a movie here and there when it suits me. Not every challenge has to be a record breaker you know! I've watched 2 so far, probably will end up around 10-12 but hey, that's 10 great horror movies that I've never seen before.

What I love the most about Supercontext's horror episodes is the dynamic between the hosts. There's the guy who writes and consumes horror extensively, and the other one who really can't watch or read anything horror anymore and is genuinely frigthened by it, but soldiers through them anyway.

Each season is on a different subgenre. So far they’ve done slashers, ghost movies and folk horror. I used to listen to How Did This Get Made and We Hate Movies but soured on both. The first because of the endless confused screaming and the second because of the feigned outrage.

HDTGM has comedy as their main objective, so they play dumb and confused a lot and spoil a lot of moments that would be a fun surprise for a first-time viewer. WHM's run-length and fake outrage are also exhausting, but they at least pay attention to the movies and make actual criticisms. Their episode on The Butterfly Effect is great, as are all the episodes about the Friday the 13th series, but those are older episodes, too. Evolution of Horror is new to me. I'll check that one out.

It’s weird because I never totally hated WHM or HDTGM, I just stopped enjoying them enough to keep going. I remember HDTGM’s Monkey Shines and Sleepaway Camp episodes being very good. WHMs Tuff Turf episode is a classic as well.

I listen to HDTGM occasionally because they're generally funny. I don't dig a lot of movie critique podcasts because most of them fall into the categories of "this is how I'd do it, which would be better" or just getting performatively mad. Nameless Cults is a dope podcast though.

In motion it's much easier to tell that the head is made of rubber because it kinda folds over in that way that rubber does.

I think it makes it scan a bit more graphic than it would otherwise. The only weak part of the effect for me is the eyes, but a looping gif doesn’t quite play the same way as a quick cut for little details like that.

I love Bird Box the book, because infinite cosmic horrors seem pretty fuckin' scary. Movie... meh. There was stuff that just didn't make sense in the context of the movie, too many characters, etc. And that monster design is something else. Also, I joined the discord, hi

I decided to give that Hulu Into the Dark episode Pooka! a try. Never thought I'd see a blend of A Christmas Carol with Jacob's Ladder , so of course it's getting added to my holiday viewing as long as it's available.

I'm thinking of dropping a little money on horror. Is this thing worth the price? 30 films. Obviously a bunch of classics in there and I'm leaning towards it but not totally sure. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L8QP082/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 Also can anyone tell what the difference between these two is? Did I just find some weird Amazon bug or are they just different printings of the same thing that weirdly got priced differently? Obviously I won't buy either if I decide to buy the big one. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008H45YSO/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=A18YXWJH0T98I6&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/Universal-Mo...7PNK7YFCJQYBZ69 I figure its worth spending money to get the classics I haven't seen, but I'm always a little weary about these big box sets that I'm going to get bad quality or a bunch of discs thrown in a bag all scratched up or something. Or with stuff like this there's often a "bad version" and "the right version." I figured you guys would know if one of these was a "bad" set.
