Masque of The Red Death is my favorite Corman/Price collaboration. I just love those sets and costumes.

I read the short story not long ago and was surprised to find all the colour themes were in there. Corman clearly had a huge affection for the source materail.

Voting for the Horror March Madness, Pittsburgh Division is now open. If you want to make sure Silent Night, Deadly Night doesn't take down Night of the Living Dead, you gotta vote!

Yea, the Pet Semetary kind thing boiled down basically to "An older kid would be way more threatening to an adult than a toddler".

The bathroom scene where he's brushing the daughters hair in the remake is really chilling and the daughter did a really good job.

let me rephrase Night of the Living Dead is the BETTER movie but I personally enjoy SNDN more

I rewatched the Silent Night Deadly Night movies and they are a slog. I don't really appreciate the brand of slasher that does everything it can to be unpleasant and bleak without balancing it with anything entertaining. It has a through-line of misogyny in the first two films that basically permanently excludes it from group watches. The "Garbage Day!" meme is fun, and the car battery kill is silly, but that's a small piece of good meat surrounded by ounces of rancid fat. When people posit slashers hate women, in general I disagree, but SNDN hates women.

I can enjoy Silent Night Deadly Night, but it has to be like 5 beers in at 1am. Night of the Living Dead is great for a night of spooky atmosphere no matter what state of mind I'm in.

My favorite film experience in recent years was seeing a screening with live music and hearing people scoff and giggle at the start of the movie and then shuffle out in stunned silence. Living Dead is a movie that claps back.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:IIRC the directors talked about it pre-release and it was a little bit that, but mostly a logistical thing, since Miko Hughes is no longer a toddler and good 3-year-old actors are a pain to find. Yeah I don't envy anyone trying to catch that lightning twice. I'm willing to strongly bet Miko can't act half as well now as he could as a baby and I mean that in the nicest way possible

Living Dead is a movie that claps back. 100%. NotLD does not gently caress around one bit and is one of the quintessential horror theatre experiences for just that. I love a movie (usually horror) that beats an audience into submission.

Honestly I don't really get upset over celebrity deaths but Stuart Gordon dying really sucks. How lucky are we to be able to enjoy his movies. RIP Gordon thank you for the hours upon hours of fantastic entertainment and art.

Same, etc. There are some great directors working right now, but there's nobody else I can point to who makes movies as fun as he did.

Gordon's horror was crazy and fun, like a lot of good 80's horror was. Evil Dead, ROTLD, Re-Animator/From Beyond, NOES 3, Night of the Creeps, and then you have the second tier poo poo that's goofy but still played semi serious and still good and fun like Critters/2 and Ghoulies/2. It feels like nobody is making anything like this poo poo anymore.

Nobodies making movies like Gordon. I mean there's just not a lot of fun gore with the last good one for me was Tucker and Dale. Ash vs Evil Dead kind of hits that perfect combo of humor and gore. I mean all of Gordon's films have this absurdity of horror feel to them even his 100 percent horror all the way but his best will always be that mixture of absurdity and gore that so many directors try to achieve and miss.

Gordon was not one of the UNTOUCHABLES, but the man was one of the all time greats and it's a drat shame that he isn't better known. The untouchables being whoever the gently caress you want them to be at any given time. Easy ones being Carpenter, Romero and Who would the third one be? I genuinely can't decide

the criterion article links to it, but here's a really nice round-up of some eulogies for mr gordon: https://www.talkhouse.com/talkhouse-film-contributors-remember-stuart-gordon/ some lovely words in there from names a lot of people will recognise. i also learned that Richard Stanley has an uncredited role in DAGON! that's cool. alf_pogs fucked around with this message at 22:51 on Mar 26, 2020 |

I'm working my way through the They Shoot Zombies list, checking off things I haven't seen, and weirdly I haven't seen Nosferatu? My ADD got real bad got part of it, but the final 20 minutes holds up to anything I've seen in a modern movie. If I saw that in the theater in 1922 I probably would have poo poo my pants

The best line in Nosferatu is when Ellen is offered cut flowers, she replies "why did you kill them?" There's something so beautifully haunting and impactful about it, whilst also being incredibly simple and efficient. With that one line you know everything there is to know about who that character is

Phantasm has a lot more obvious ADR than I was expecting. Though they have the good sense to do it when characters are off screen and there's no need to worry about sync.
