I remember seeing an episode where a woman was poisoning her boyfriend/husband by putting industrial insecticide in his protein shake, and after taking a drink he was like, “ugh - tastes weird.” To which she replies, “oh, that must just be the amino acids.” So he drank the whole thing and ended up in the hospital. I think about that a lot.

If you ever wanna see a movie that’s like a big foot documentary, except they actually run into Bigfoot, Sasquatch is a lot of fun provided you have some allowance for it being a low budget 70s flick. Imo holds up much better than Boggy Creek

Lurdiak posted:Not to defend a corporate entity, but I don't think Netflix is cutting that stuff cuz they want to. All the rights holders want a piece of that streaming pie now that Netflix proved how profitable it can be. That does make sense, but equally Netflix cutting the catalog and going more original content that I'm not interested in is what made me drop my subscription after having it for years.

M_Sinistrari posted:Compared to how Netflix has been, I'd say Shudder's still knocking it out of the park. While they're dipping into the original material/exclusives waters, they're still not sacrificing what has built them up so far. Netflix on the other hand's been cutting their movies catalog and going heavy on the original programming which might not appeal to everyone. I mean, there's still good stuff, but I remember getting emails from Shudder about neat films being added and recently they've been original series which I never watch because it's just too much of a time sink to watch all the series I want to get to that pop up all of the time on streaming services, then there's the weird poo poo like Ong-Bak, Big Man Japan, Exiled, and one of the more recent actual horror films being Resident Evil so it's been a wet fart for me I guess.

It's more like a one way mirror looking thing. Nothing visibly external breaks the mirror, and the effect is a cheap looking puppet getting its top half blown off

I’m not gonna do a live post, but Jesse is a pretty drat interesting horror protagonist. His first scene sorta tells you everything you need to know about him.

King Vidiot posted:My only real memory of Unsolved Mysteries is when Robert Stack was in BASEketball playing himself. That was pretty funny Here's an example of Unsolved Mysteries and why I hate the show Robert Stack " Darla reported her husband missing on Oct 22nd , 1977 . His clothes had mysteriously disappeared , and 4000 dollars was gone from their checking account. She reported strange lights above the house the night before. The neighbors also reported seeing these lights " UFO Expert " Yea there was definitely UFO Activity" Husbandwho left Darla " Yeah, I left and took all my clothes and the money" Robert Stack "We'll never know what happened to Darlas husband , was he murdered? , Part of some satanic sex cult ? Was he kidnapped by aliens? THe case still remains unsolved" THATS THE WHOLE loving SHOW "What happened? WE don't know , maybe UFOS? Or BIGFOOT!" Its like being told a story then half way through your friend just gets up and leaves the room and you never hear from them again. Or my favorite is Robert Stack " Cheryls daughter went missing 1951 at the state park, police found 3 of her limbs in a dumpster nearby" Mother of Obviously Dead Child " I still think she is alive, she could be out there needing my help. I'll never stop looking" Forensic Medical Expert " Its possible that her daughter lost 3 of her 4 limbs , then crawled into the woods and was raised by wolves" Robert Stack" We'll never know what happened to Cheryl's daughter on that night. Later a serial killer did confess to her murder and her head was found in his freezer, but she could still be out there. Looking for help" Its loving bullshit. I hate that loving show.

Another good one was a guy's son died while night swimming but the father insists the SCA murdered him in an occult ritual and is still searching for the truth.

Hollismason posted:Also its not a Unsolved Mystery when its like " Oh yeah this is the dude who did it you seen him?" . They would do segments on wanted fugitives, which as a kid were probably the scariest because you get Stack describing the crimes with that voice and of course it just ends with the guy is still out there...

I know I was into Unsolved Mysteries as a kid but I also am pretty sure it was solely for the weekly UFO abduction segment and the occasional haunted house one. And I've been way over that whole alien thing ever since girls stopped being icky.

There are multiple episodes where people who ran away from their families fake having amnesia after the show finds them, and everyone just does a very awkward dance around the truth.

When I was a kid, I just wanted to find some proof of the paranormal because it would've been rad, so I watched those drat shows all the time. They ruled but also made me mad because they never found poo poo.

I appreciate that amongst its peers, who at least had the auspice of presenting things as possible, Beyond Belief was like, gently caress it. We got a ratings train to catch. You believe in mermaids? Come on board. Anyway, they were all better than Rescue 911, because Jesus Christ seriously how many kids can I watch fall through a frozen lake before it loses its spark.
