Drunkboxer posted:The only horror game I own is Last Night on Earth, it’s pretty fun but it always takes a while to remember how to play it and it always seems too daunting to explain to house guests when we’re considering which game to play. Also it’s quite a bit more fun to play as the survivors, even though I think being the zombies is easier in most game modes. The zombos feel too generic. The first time I played this game we massively misread a rule and now it takes forever to play because I second guess myself on every rules.

It's true, there's a unique Italian American dialect that has a lot of Neopolitan and Sicilian mixed in that gives us this. It's generally considered "not real" because it comes from how a lot of the working class in the southern part of the peninsula (so double looked down upon) spoke.

The_Doctor posted:I saw Fantasy Island! It is Not Good. The beginning scenes of the torture room make no sense when the twist is revealed at the end, and the whole story really just falls apart. Michael Peña glowering all the time got old really fast, when he’s much better being cheeky smiley chap (à la Antman/The Martian). Also the Tattoo reveal made me cringe so hard. This is a stupid question, but is it worth seeing if you're a sucker for beautiful tropical scenery? I'm curious to see it just for that and almost don't care that the movie probably sucks.

Letters from Whitechapel was one of my favourite games until I played their stripped down version, Whitehall Mystery. It’s a much purer, streamlined game with less faffing about in parts, and I recommend it wholeheartedly.

I'm curious to see it just for that and almost don't care that the movie probably sucks. I thought the scenery was nice. As far as the film goes, the premise is good. It's the execution where it really dropped the ball. quote:
The rule of thumb is sauce has no meat, gravy has meat. Both can have vegetables in them. To call spaghetti gravy spaghetti sauce essentially says either you're not Italian or Sicilian so you don't know better, you've only eaten that crap from jars so someone needs to cook you some proper food STAT, or your family took the Italian interment camps in the US and Canada during WWII really hard so they were embarrassed by their ethnicity/culture so they went total mainstream and you weren't exposed to it so we need to get you to some family gatherings to re-embrace your roots. Hollismason posted:What are some peoples favorite murder with a boiling pot scenes? Other than Angelheart, Sleepaway Camp and the original My Bloody Valentine, I can't think of many boiling pot deaths. Now death by deep fryer, there's a bunch of those. MacheteZombie posted:If we're talking board games, The Thing board game is fun. Zombies!!! is pretty fun. However I do advise to be careful playing it when cats are around. My two attacked the board and we were picking zombies out of the carpet for weeks. The original Arkham Horror was pretty good too. My all time favorite is a Monopoly knockoff from way back when called Creature Features where instead of properties, you're buying scripts and actors.

Anyway the real secret of the horror thread is we basically talk about whatever we want with a group of regular posters who are cool. Within reason so that the iron fist of our mod doesn't come down on us. ^^^^ I watched The Bride With White Hair last night, it was very good. Really really nice looking, as Neo Rasa said it was. Not a horror movie though.

Oh poo poo people are talking about horror board games? Well I have good news, THE FURY OF DRACULA has been back in print! If you ever played Scotland Yard it's like that but with Mina Harker, Van Helsing, Dr. Seward, and Lord Godalming (two lesser characters from the novel) tracking Dracula down across Europe instead of detectives tracking a regular murderer down across London. Up to five people can play, one of whom is Dracula. Dracula's piece isn't actually shown on the board as he moves around though, instead as the other players move and do stuff they have to see the trail of new vampires/deranged servants/etc. evil bullshit Dracula leaves in his wake and work together to track him down. Then there's some basic combat and unique abilities each other player has to help out with that. It's gets very intense because while the game can go on for quite some time if everyone is unlucky there's still a kind of timer if Dracula either kills all his opponents or if he spreads enough evil bullshit around than he wins. But also in the abstract, the other players have various spies and contacts helping them out too off screen, represented by how Dracula's trail is shown via cards that player puts out regularly. The backs of them show whether he's traveling by land or sea which lets the players deduce a general direction, but like if Dracula retreats back to his castle then that is instantly known, but it's like, literally Dracula's castle so he has more poo poo to call on. Generally they do a good job making both the hunters and Dracula feel equally threatening. Here's an older review that basically sums up why I love it: https://www.shutupandsitdown.com/review-fury-dracula/

For whatever reason, you guys talking about slasher movies made me come around to seeing that Green Room is a horror movie. It's a slasher movie where the slasher is a Nazi gang leader who slashes by proxy with his gang members. The entire gang thinks and acts as a unit, they're all collectively The Slasher.

Another one is that there's an old board game based on The Keep! One player controls basically the main characters the movie, the other controls Radu Molosar and a small horde of servants of his. It's relatively fast, the game ends in 12 turns. Basically the character controlling the main characters have to search for the artifact/hilt thing that Scott Glen attached to a metal rod to destroy Molosar with in the movie. Molosar and his servants try to stop them from finding it. Molosar as some one-off abilities to use to help him out, and each of the main characters has some special ability too. The interesting thing about it is that the player using Molosar has TWELVE servants to control also, a veritable army. However he has to consume one every turn to stay alive.Basebf555 posted:Anyway the real secret of the horror thread is we basically talk about whatever we want with a group of regular posters who are cool.

I really love The Keep and I wish it was easier to recommend because there's just not an easy way to find a decent version of it(the one on Amazon video is lovely). I'd buy a blu ray release day one.

I'd buy a blu ray release day one. Same here. A few years ago a good version of it was on Netflix, picture quality was good, had the original Tangerine Dream soundtrack, I have no idea why it was removed or/and never popped up again. Even the soundtrack itself, it's so weird that it's a movie that only exists in bootleg form today. I know it's a polarizing flick but just in general the cast, sci-fi/horror, "Weird War II," Ian McKellan, 80s movie and 80s synth soundtrack and Michael Mann looks (even if you doesn't know who Michael Mann is I think that's still relevant), like it checks off enough nerds-would-like-this boxes that it's bizarre to me that it's not readily available.

Kvlt! posted:either we can talk about joker AND sonic or we can't talk about either goddamn man CHOOSE Okay, neither. Joker at least had gun horror, blood, Mental Illness As Scary Stuff, and an oppressive atmosphere. Sonic is a kids movie. Don't be upset because I don't probate people for talking about non-horror stuff in the horror thread and just ask them to take it somewhere more appropriate. I don't think you actually want that. edit: horror board game chat is fine, cuz it's horror related Franchescanado fucked around with this message at 15:56 on Feb 20, 2020 |

He didn't even like the book it was based on, it was infamous hacked up from how he originally wanted it cut, and it's noticeably almost NEVER brought up or acknowledged even in retrospective sort of stuff. I know music licensing is often cited for why it's not on DVD/blu-ray but he pretty clearly hates the end product, IIRC the author of the novel hated it too. If you Google "Michael Mann The Keep" you'll find a bunch of articles about how much it's intentionally forgotten.
