With the October challenge approaching I was wondering if thread could give me a list of some essential Hammer Horror films. If it makes a difference to what you suggest, I'm also planning on working through as much of the Universal Classic Monsters boxset as I can for the challenge.

CRAYON posted:With the October challenge approaching I was wondering if thread could give me a list of some essential Hammer Horror films. With some exceptions(Plague of the Zombies comes to mind), the best way to start with Hammer is to watch anything that features both Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, AND was directed by Terrance Fisher: Curse of Frankenstein Horror of Dracula The Mummy The Hound of the Baskervilles The Gorgon From there stick with Fisher and check out the films he did with only Cushing OR Lee. They're still great: Revenge of Frankenstein Brides of Dracula Dracula Prince of Darkness(the only one I haven't seen) Frankenstein Created Woman The Devil Rides Out Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed Frankenstein and the Monster From Hell(the only one on this list I'd maybe call mediocre)

I have at long last secured the unedited cut of Murder-Set-Pieces (not to be confused with the Director's Cut or the theatrical cut) and I will report back on how it is

Speaking of Grady Hendrix, “My Best Friend’s Exorcism” and “Horrorstor” are both pretty good if anyone is looking for some meat-and-potatoes literary horror. He’s not trying to reinvent the wheel, but his character work is strong and it makes the gruesome stuff land harder.

They're making an Uzumaki miniseries for Cartoon Network directed by the guy who did Mushishi. Hopefully it turns out better than Gyo. https://mobile.twitter.com/ToonamiSquad/status/1167580644630835209

On the one hand, there hasn't been a single good Ito adaptation so far and almost every attempt that's been made takes out something fundamental about his aesthetic. But on the other, gently caress the gently caress yeah maybe this'll be the one Friends Are Evil fucked around with this message at 00:54 on Aug 31, 2019 |

Hard to tell from just the clip, but already making it black and white gets rid of a lot of the problems you have with adapting Ito's work. You need to have that hard contrast to do his work justice. Also, hold up Colin Stetson's doing the score?

Saw ready or not tonight, it was fun to see in a theater. Also unrelatedly, with the recent dead meat eps, i had this weird feeling that final destination would actually make a pretty fun serial series.

Oh wow, y'all aren't kidding, The Evolution of Horror podcast is fantastic. Maybe I dipped into a particularly great episode with Plague of the Zombies where it's him and his Hammer-fan former drama professor, but this feels like the horror podcast I've always wanted.

Add me to the horror abstinence until October crew. Thankfully Shaw Bros movies are keeping me sane until then.

I prefer to start watching horror mid-summer, really ramp it up toward the end of October, then burn out completely by mid-November and not touch it again until I start the cycle over.

I just found out they're making a sequel to The Shining. At first I was like "Why?" but apparently it's based on the book King already wrote as a sequel to The Shinning called Doctor Sleep so I guess there's a reason to make this movie beyond wanting money based on name recognition. Has anyone read Doctor Sleep? Is it good?

The Shining stuff is the best part of the book but it’s mostly a very generic story with lame vampires types who never pose an actual threat to the protagonists. Really nothing special but it seems like the movie is going to be more of a sequel to the movie than Doctor Sleep is a sequel to the movie/book.
