Sleepy Hollow was decent, looking at my Criticker I've got it around 30-35th best horror of 90's along with stuff like Stir of Echoes and Mute Witness.

I rewatched Sleepy Hollow a few weeks ago. I want to like it. There's a lot going on I enjoy. It just never really comes together for me for some reason.

I’ve met more people who don’t like Sleepy Hollow than do. The Spooky discord does not like it. So I dunno. I’ve always been a fan. It’s a blast, looks good as hell, great score, Johnny Depp is perfectly obnoxious unlike now where he’s just straight obnoxious...plus a dope rear end cast.

So October is around the corner, and I was thinking of doing 5 different categories of Horror movies/shorts/whatever each week. I'll have horror novices but I'd like to gradually increase the horror to get them used to it haha

I'm starting to get the Halloween movie queue ready myself. The big promise I made this year is to check out more 30s/40s horror because, believe it or not, I have not seen any of the Universal classic monster movies aside from the Abbott and Costello crossover. I'll probably slip some horror-comedies in there as breathers in between the inevitable violent slashers I always end up binging on (Slaughterhouse Rulez is on the list).

Tertius Oculum posted:So October is around the corner, and I was thinking of doing 5 different categories of Horror movies/shorts/whatever each week. Big advice for this: make sure you're aware of your audiences limits. I have certain friends that can't handle young children being killed, I know people that can't come back from a dog dying, I try to avoid films with explicit rape or sexual assault, etc. It's common sense advice, but if you're trying to get people into horror, you don't want to kill any trust, or you'll never win them over. Another thing to keep in mind with categories and stuff is think about the tone as well. Show your friends different shades of horror. Return of the Living Dead, Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?, and In The Mouth of Madness have all been major favorites with my horror group, but they feel completely different from each other. Whatever Happened To Baby Jane? was one of the most disturbing movies I've shown to a few people in my group, and there's no real onscreen violence in the entire film, but I had one friend have to leave the room for a few during In The Mouth of Madness because a scene freaked them out too much. It's been a little over two years from when I started a similar thing. Half of my friend group hadn't seen, like, 90% of the must-see horror films, a few of them outright disliked the genre, so I started Spooky Night as a challenge to win them over. Now we do them almost bi-monthly.

My spooky season starts mid-August and I mainlined a lot of 40s-60s horror since the, so my October list has a lot of 80s/90s on it. Most of it's my shameful haven't-seen list that I've been putting off forever with a lot of stuff I'm really excited about. Right now it's at 30, so it's shaping up that I might actually go for 31 this year when I only did 15 or so last year.

drat Death Spa is a good looking movie. Some of that lighting is prime Giallo stuff and some of the kills are just amazing too.

Actually, thinking about my list, last year I saved a Biggie for Halloween itself with Return of the Living Dead. I'm having trouble deciding which to do this year. Here's the list: Demon Knight, Bride of Frankenstein, The Abominable Dr. Phibes / Returns (double-feature), The Fog, Dawn of the Dead (1978) , Targets, Halloween III, Society, Tales from the Darkside, Deep Red, Night of the Comet, Hobo with a Shotgun, Brides of Dracula / Dracula has Risen from the Grave (double-feature), The Comedy of Terrors, Tales from the Hood, Castle Freak, The Reptile, Ganja and Hess, Gremlins 2 (have seen lots of parts), Carnival of Souls, Bride of Re-Animator, Dead Alive / Bad Taste (double-feature), The Gate, Body Melt, TerrorVision, Demons, Nightbreed, Tenebre, Blacula, I Walked with a Zombie Out of those, what's both the most essential and the craziest? I assume Bride of Frankenstein or Dawn of the Dead are the most essential so that seems most appropriate, but I also kinda feel like just going for as crazy as possible. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 00:41 on Sep 20, 2019 |

It's definitely the least of the Gordon/Combs/Crampton movies, but I still enjoy it. I can't disagree that it's a cruel, grim movie. It has very little of the bonkers-ness that lends levity to Re-Animator and From Beyond. The guy who plays the Castle Freak is really good.

The thing is, I'm pretty sure I saw Castle Freak before I saw From Beyond or Re-Animator. So it wasn't that I had expectations of that kind of collaboration. I actually think I watched it thinking "Lovecraft", but it was mostly just because I was doing my "Years" challenge and I needed a film from 1995 I hadn't seen. I just don't really love "ugly" films like that. And not from an aesthetic sense but more from a "rape scene" and cruelty sense. I always save movies to watch on October 31st or the 30th and then I always end up busier than I expected (especially since my mom's birthday is the 29th) and never get to them.

It goes against my religion to advertise for this game, but Dead By Daylight is having a free weekend on Steam for those of you who want something spooky to play during this 2 months of Halloween and are too big posers to own the Friday the 13th game. It has Stranger Things dlc content availablew now, so you can be bored to death while playing as Nancy, Steve and the Demogorgon.
