Unsovled Mysteries was definitely a you had to be there and already interested thing. Like you can't even believe how insanely loving bad that kind of show and book and stuff was before it, Unsolved Mysteries was like a cut of above all of the other ones. Like the show IS dumb but holy poo poo catch some In Search Of... episodes on YouTube or look at supermarket checkout line booklets about ghosts and paranormal mysteries from back in the day and oh my Gooood that poo poo was insanely stupid to me even as a kid. In Search Of...'s reenactments, oh my lord. Check out the In Search Of...HAUNTED CASTLES episode where they spend a lot of time talking about THE SCREAMING SKULL. I mean, fuckin' love watching all that poo poo again as an adult because they're goofy as hell but man was it all bad. I think the worst of those shows was a paranormal/UFO centric take on them called Sightings.

Sightings was totally my poo poo. I have absolutely no doubt it was utter trash. Its weird because I never really cared THAT much about alien stuff. Like, I saw Fire in the Sky in the theaters so I was into that stuff somewhat but I wasn't even watching Alien Autopsies.

Those books weren't half bad for 'Baby's First UFO/Ancient Mysteries' books. I borrowed them from the library back in the day. Now, for actually buying books, these were totally my thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oyl5NpWG1A The art was good and got me reading a lot more mythology. Someday I will eventually replace the set I had that my ex trashed.

CelticPredator posted: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. There was an infuriatingly bad children's show up here that was basically ghost hunters but with kids, and it made me really mad with how blatantly dishonest they were. It took me all of two episodes to realize that not only did no one involved believe ghosts were real, but also that ghosts definitely did not exist.

I think I mentioned it earlier in the thread but the most recent MST3K season has an episode where they do a 1979 movie called The Day Time Ended. It's pretty bad but also awesome because it's a mix of a the rapture has happened time to walk off to heaven story and an alien invasion story. The cool thing though is that all of the alien technology, and the way the ships work and light up and the way the lights in the sky move is super super accurate to how people reported UFO sightings and abduction stories over the past decade. So it's a cool one stop shop for what folks who were true believers were claiming to see and experience at the time.

There was one reenactment on that show I remember to this day where is a kid is running and playing and he slips and slides under a riding mower someone's mowing their lawn with and it cuts to like a bloody shoe flying out the other side of it.

Pomp posted:did stonehenge really shoot a laser at a dude Seasons of the Witch would point to yes Speaking of Halloween- I Think 2 might be better than the new one. The original 2. Like in context of the first movie, it really depends on what kind of sequel you want Do you want one that picks up immediately after or do you want one that takes place years later. Just, with 2, there's still a lot of good camera work and cinematography, and the deaths are pretty great. Halloween The New One, if I had anything to really complain about, it's the fact that the deaths kind of suck and almost all happen off screen. ANd the REAL thing to complain about- they almost NEVER use Michael the Shape appropriately. They don't play with background shots or having him be in the open but out of focus. There's no fun Michael stalking moments where if you're looking, you can JUUUUUST see him. I know this is because John Carpenter isn't directing so they don't have his eye for that kind of thing but Jesus I wish they had at least tried. Half the fun of Michael is noticing when he's milling about in the background. Or, at times, in the foreground.

This did a cool take on this when he kills the guy running the gas station that many people actually did miss but I agree it would have been nice to have just a little more, like maybe during the, uh, Halloween 2 part where he's first walking around town and into homes to stab folks.

I liked how Green played around with that formula though. Like the scene where he stabs the woman in the neck, you see him walking around the side of the house but she doesn't, and you know exactly where he's going but she of course goes to look out the window in the opposite direction and then here he is walking in the back door...

That whole part was amazing and I loved the distorted view of him walking around the side through the glass - to that end I actually would go so far as to say the movie does do a good job with having him be "the shape." But it's generally done with reflections and reflective things breaking up the view of him instead of with clever placement and lighting of the character (not that the movie doesn't have some great moments of that though like the motion sensing light scene) like in the original. A lot of this does go away in towards the end though, but I also liked that because in a way it's like, before the actual climax happens Laurie's already "won," Michael is briefly like the damsel in this kind of movie at that point. He's following the granddaughter, but he also just busted out and killed the doctor and is leaving the scene, I sort of saw that like he was retreating into the woods and then entering what's clearly a creepy crazy person house, the same way Scream/etc. poke fun at Laurie going back upstairs in Halloween instead of just leaving. The way the way ending inverts things between the two complements that really well. "Don't Go In The Basement." Neo Rasa fucked around with this message at 17:48 on Jan 23, 2019 |

None of the challenges were over the top or out of line, just stuff like sit in this electric chair in a dark room for ten minutes and come out so it was all in the head stuff if someone got freaked out or not. If they tried it now, they'd probably try something like that crappy show the Soska Sisters were involved with.

There was one episode of Fear I always remember because this one girl got put through the ringer. She had to hold two live wires and electrocute herself for a couple seconds, I think she had to lay under a bed of nails that was dangling from a rope that eventually snapped and drops it a few feet from her face (and she only had to do it cause someone else quit) and I think one other intense stunt. But she did all of them and won even though I think every guy in that episode quit. She was hardcore.
