2001's Father of the Year

Rewatched the Benecio Del Toro Wolfman, and between the over-the-top gore and victorian setting, it's a lot more fun than I remember. Third act plot twist fight scene still sucks rear end though.

I remember catching this on tv with a roommate and he was like "looks like a gorilla fight" and I was like holy poo poo it really does. Awful.

That Crypt episode with Buscemi/Daltry was brutal. It also keyed into my dislike of Roger Daltry, just like the Reeves episode played on my utter distrust of Judd Nelson.

Pretty sure that Wolfman replaced practical effects with cgi and that Stan Winston was onboard to do the designs

I just watched “Servants of Twilight” and it was by all accounts nothing special but it had Grace Zabriskie and the Giant as a cult leader and her right hand man (easily the best part of the movie), it’s always kinda cool to see Twin Peaks alumni in random other movies from the era

There's an honest, almost insane charm to them. It's clear that Nigel is loving every minute of it. That said, the second movie can be a struggle. But, in my opinion, it's still worth watching, just to see the church Christmas pageant level of acting from the old woman. It's pretty nutty. Four is kinda dull, too

The only part of the Wolfman that bothered me was the silver wolf cane was introduced, and then never used to kill anyone.
The true monsters were the film makers.

I don't think I've seen it since it was in theaters but I do remember it had some cool and bizarre dream like sequences, like maybe a travel one where the sun and moon cycle around while he walking? I dunno, I can't find the scene on youtube.

Instead of whatever they have planned for now as a sequel to Halloween 2018, they should start making a Halloween H20 but 20 Years Later from Halloween Resurrection with Busta Rhymes/etc. back.

all the stuff related to old timey psychiatry/""Treatment"" culminating in him wolfin out in the operating theater was cool, the way they treated the mentally ill was probably more horrifying than the literal wolf man lol.

overall its a fun movie though that i think aged well as a silly monster movie even if it has horrible cgi

He goes into comedy after that and never really comes back around, even when it seems like it won’t be a comedy. Number five (?) is a one-person show featuring an actual actor. It is a remarkable feat of self-restraint from writer-director-producer-fx supervisor-star Nigel Bach.

Also he gets a better phone mounted outside his front door.

Phantasm is my choice for birth year horror. It was released a few months before I was born though so not exactly same month.

After watching Horror Noire, I finally watched Blacula which is on Prime right now. Pretty legit! Basically a pretty straight take on a vampire story and not the camp fest you'd expect from the title. The guy who plays Blacula is smooth af.

William Marshall owns. He plays the sort of Father Merrin-equivalent bishop in Abby also and IIRC much of how the melding of faiths happens there is based on his own actual Yoruba knowledge. He was also a trained opera singer and in addition was considered to be the best person to ever play Othello. Guy was insanely talented but never got his due because he was IIRC blacklisted for communist ties.

Speaking of, is Abby available anywhere in good quality? I remember it popping up on Shudder forever ago but it was a VHS rip. Probably the best I've ever seen it looking is in the excerpts in Horror Noire.

Housebound is awesome. It’s a perfect blend of comedy and horror and it really keeps you on your toes.

I'm a huge fan of showing it to people without letting them know the basic premise of the movie. I went in blind myself and wish I could do it again.

I’m glad I went into Housebound blind. I’m actually kind of a spoiler hound so I usually read the entire synopsis for a movie before I see it, but I’m glad I didn’t do that with Housebound.

Definitely watch the 30 minute making-of special, too. It seems like Nigel's just a dude who is figuring this whole filmmaking thing as he's going, and I love it so much. I unironically love Bad Ben and Tom Riley.

The real horror of the mom/pop video rentals, was watching my dad pick out an x-rated movie in the 18+ section, while I stared at 80's horror covers pretending not to understand. :(
The Faces of Death cover still reminds me of that akward drive home with my dad.

Yeah, now I'm looking for Abby and Sugar Hill (Sugar Hill can be rented from Amazon I believe). Ganja and Hess is on Shudder, and Eve's Bayou is on Starz. I think everyone here has seen Tales from the Hood, but I never got around to watching Bones, which is also on Shudder right now. So Horror Noire gave me some titles I'm interested in seeing now. I think Def By Temptation is on tubi also, never got around to watching that but I'm intrigued based on the clips in Horror Noire.

I think we should call the Avengers.

The film whose release is closest to my birth date is Cool as Ice. I don't know how to feel about that.

The closest horror film is Two Evil Eyes, which I've never seen. It's a collaboration between Argento and Romero though, so I should probably rectify that.

I got curious and wanted to know what horror movies came out in my birth year and honestly it was a stellar year for horror:

- 976-EVIL
- The Exorcist 3
- The best F13 movie: Jason Takes Manhattan
- Leviathan
- Puppet Master
- Society
- Tesuo The Iron Man

The Boy was weird because it starts off going one way, totally swerves you and goes another, and then swerves you again and just finishes out of nowhere.

It wasn't a "good film" but every time I thought I might be tempted to turn it off I was all "Wait... really? Ok, you've got my attention."

The only thing bad about it is that it doesn't commit to its premise like it should.
