I just watched Blood Freak, and I am so incredibly bummed that there's real animal cruelty right at the end. Up until then it was a perfect little, grimy, bloody, nonsensical movie about a wereturkey

This Carpenter talk made me take a second look at my blu-ray/dvd collection so I decided to upgrade my og the thing blu-ray to the steelbook shout edition and the shout Assault on Precinct 13 to upgrade my dvd copy. and i picked up Candyman as well since it was only $14 bucks.

I saw Triangle show up a few times in this thread and watched it tonight. I'm a huge sucker for time loop movies and this absolutely scratched that itched for me. A very fun watch.

drat, I remember when I was 12 or 13 and my friend pulled out a ratty VHS copy of Re-Animator and we watched it after his parents went to bed. RIP to a real one.

Even if it has the wrong title (it's an adaptation of The Shadow Over Innsmouth), Gordon's Dagon holds a special place in my heart for being just bonkers and enthusiastic about what it's trying to do and I love it. Plus, it has one of the nastier de-glovings in horror history.

Robot Jox is not a horror movie, but I love it dearly.Shrecknet posted:Even if it has the wrong title (it's an adaptation of The Shadow Over Innsmouth), Gordon's Dagon holds a special place in my heart for being just bonkers and enthusiastic about what it's trying to do and I love it. Plus, it has one of the nastier skin de-glovings in horror history. An incredibly brutal scene. I went out of my way to get the uncut version of the film for Scream Stream just so it could be seen in its full glory, but felt the need to warn people about it as well.

Casino Corona Crypt of SFW horror continued tonight with: - Hell House LLC 2 - Hell House LLC 3 - Grave Encounters 2 - Haunt I don't go back until Monday but the casino is closed for the foreseeable future and filling 12 hours with SFW horror has been a challenge. On the upside, the lady in Surveillance is a huge horror fan apparently and asked us to turn on the subtitles for Haunt so she could zoom a camera in and watch it with us. RIP Stuart Gordon. Re-Animator is awesome.

The thing that impresses me most about Dagon is how the set design and sound design combine to absolutely sell the water-soaked town. I can feel skin submerged for hours and hours in water, softening and aching, and how miserable it'd be to be soaking wet constantly. It's a unique visceral reaction I haven't had with other movies. Kinda like how The Descent makes claustrophobia an essential element to the film.

Also watching Haunt for the second time this week has really enamored me to it. It's just such a nice, tight, contained package. The writing is slick and the gore is a-ok. It moves at a brisk pace and pays off really well. The slow motion batter-up scene is all time movie catharsis along with the clown getting shotgunned in the face.

RIP Gordon. Pretty soon, there won't be any big figures from the 80's left. Maybe I'll watch Dolls, that's always a fun one.

Bride of the Re-Animator is on Shudder. Pit and the Pendulum for me is top notch Gordon. I really love that movie. I mean its just excellent gothic horror all around and super intense. Hollismason fucked around with this message at 14:15 on Mar 25, 2020 |

I had no idea Stuart Gordon directed the Dennis Hopper schlock-fest Space Truckers. Debi Mazar was a total babe in her day.

I've been having trouble sleeping through the night since I've been working from home, and lately at around 3 AM I just get up and watch a horror movie until and fall back asleep. I read the news about Gordon so I threw on Dagon because I've been meaning to rewatch it anyway. I literally had a nightmare that our house was leaking like the protagonist's fetid hotel room. Like water cascading down the walls and onto all the furniture. I barely ever have nightmares anymore, which makes it even more strange. RIP.

A lot of filmmakers had a big impact on my childhood, but Gordon was maybe even more important than them for me because in my mid-20s his films(along with the horror thread of course) re-ignited my love for horror in a way that I'm not sure would've happened otherwise. I've also listened to several blu ray commentaries of his and he sounded like a really caring, genuinely nice guy.

Celebrity deaths are weird, because we're mourning people we have a one-way intimacy with, but this one's hitting me pretty hard as well. It's nice hearing all of the lovely anecdotes about him and how much of a positive influence he was on so many people, and I know this thread has spent pages upon pages of glowing praise for the man. We'll still have his movies and legacy!

I watched Dr. Sleep and it really is bad. It's not scary, compared to Kubrick's movie it looks really mediocre and it's way longer than it needs to be. Everyone is acting their asses off though, so that's something I guess.
