Creep Show is kind of weird because the actual shorts are pretty good, but the wraparounds and comics transitions are pretty lovely.

The comics weren’t great but I will hear no Ill words about a ghoul drinking a beer and painting a doll head while chuckling

You think you can take me at Satan's Hollow? Go 'head on!
I mean The Creep (or the Creepkeeper or Vaultcreeper or whatever he's called) is certainly no Cryptkeeper. The Cryptkeeper would've come up with like ten puns for "head" by the end of the second story.

Why that's certainly no way to get.. a head! She'll never be the head of her class! Why, if she thinks she's going to head off trouble, I've got noose for her... she's headed in the wrong direction! EEEE HEEHEEHEEHEEHEE!

One Cut of the Dead is absolutely fantastic. There's not really any horror in it but any horror fan should love it. Very creative and fun. Can't wait to watch it again.

So that explains why he did not answer. He had no mouth to answer with. There is nothing left of him but his ears.

It is, without any hyperbole, my favorite movie of the year so far.

I was mostly fine with him, but the animated transformation kind of sucked.

My heart is also waiting for puns that never come.

My favorite little reference in the new Creepshow was the chained up crate in the dollhouse attic.

On rewatch, I noticed one of the rugs in the dollhouse has the same pattern of the carpet in the Overlook hotel.

Castle Rock is a good representation of the platonic ideal of Stephen King

Creepshow is a good representation of early 80s King as he actually was

Reign on me.
31 movies minimum including all challenges. Only theme is that I won’t be watching any movies I’ve seen in the last 10 years. All new movies or movies I haven’t seen in a long long time.

First challenge I’ve attempted since I wasn’t both working full time and a full time student so I shouldn’t have any trouble completing it this time.

What's the general consensus of how many films are in the Amityville Horror franchise? It's like how we've joked about how many are in the Demons franchise with official films and the ones they just slapped a title on.

No less than 20.

I started watching the Possession of Hannah Grace since it is on Prime and loving :lol: the possessed girl's dad is the same guy that plays the dad in the Exorcism of Emily Rose. Anyways it's loving unwatchable and I couldn't make it 20 minutes in but that made me laugh, I guess that is that actor's niche now.

Perfect. In this challenge there's always a couple of years when I'm watching a movie solely because "this is the first movie from that year I could find." So any good hook like "Bela Lugosi's later films" works for me. Thanks. Let me know when you intend to watch it and we can try and synch up.

My watching arrangement is pretty fluid, so just say hey when you're ready to knock that one out, and I'll line it up.

this is actually unironically true, I watch so much low-budget splatter and SOV poo poo that now modern high-production, "quality" horror films are kinda really boring to me. It's not that there aren't ones I don't like but when you consume so much schlock and SFX-showcase splatter you don't really wanna sit through like Hereditary stuff


LORD OF BOOTY posted:

Actually lol'ed at this

ALSO: I've been diving into Asian horror a lot recently (I've been trying to watch Suicide Club but it hurts my eyes so bad). I've seen all the splatter stuff like Guinea Pig, Toky Gore Police, Machine Girl, Grotesque, etc. so i'm mainly looking for either less-known extreme stuff or some great ghost stories or just any really good Asian horror: i haven't seen any "classic" Asian horror movies besides the Vampire Doll trilogy, Audition, and The Grudge so feel free to toss me a suggestion that's more "popular" as well. No found footage please I get motion sick.

Have you seen Wild Zero? I think you'd dig it. Also Mikadroid Robokill Beneath Disco Club Layla. For more slow-burn stuff, there's Kwaidan and Pulse, and in animation, there's the Violence Jack series, Demon City Shinjuku, and Hell Target.

I haven't seen any of these so all this is a fantastic place to start! The only names that ring a bell are Violence Jack. Thank you!
