I’ve been through the depths of generic box art Amazon Prime and my god there is no bottom to that pit.

Lots of terrible anthologies. Also I found one that was an animated horror movie with witches and zombies and every character was a thinly veiled Barbie-esque fetishized lady and all of the dialogue was text to speech.

Don't tempt me. Netflix makes it hard to find random rear end poo poo these days without knowing what you're looking for, and I don't have Amazon Prime, but Tubi is probably ripe for it

Junk Food Dinner reviewed one called Where the Dead go to Die. I haven't seen it but they said it was very bad.

And finally, what do you get when you mix PS1 cut-scene style computer animation and Ghoul Summer-worthy subject matter? Where the Dead Go to Die from 2012. It's horrendous.

That looks terrible and the animation is similar but that’s not the one I saw. I’m still searching, I forgot the name but it was all text to speech. Every word.

Please share your list so far, I need it.

Here is my list of confirmed films, or basically films I've managed to find copies of so far. The Africa leg of the tour is currently limited to one Nigerian film and one Tunisian film, which sucks.

Here are a couple of lists I'm using to help me, but they're also not great on the African horror front.

Mondo Macabro - The Wild Side of World Cinema https://boxd.it/4qEK
(almost) One Horror Movie from Each Country in the World https://boxd.it/4TDz2

I might have to collate my own list from all these dribs and drabs. One thing that doesn't help is that, while you can sort by country on Letterboxd, most of these films have been poorly catalogued so they don't show up. The same goes for Wikipedia, which has a master list of African horror with fewer than 50 films from only 3 countries.

That was the Anything Streaming theme. Prime's got a metric poo poo-ton of scarecrow, found footage, and creepyass location films that so many are so eye bleedingly awful, it makes what my friends and I made when we were younger with a camcorder look like A level high cinema. Not helping either is so many use the same imagery on thier posters that the only noticeable difference is the font on the title and even that's iffy.

Darkside Magazine did a feature on the first horror movie from every country in the world about a year ago. Assuming I can find it, I'll scan in the morning. Whether you'll be able to find any of them is another matter.

I absolutely commend you on putting yourself through that. I mostly gave up on those Prime homemade movies after watching Hooker with a Hacksaw, which is maybe 10 minutes of gore, and what felt like 80 minutes of the lead actress walking around a strip mall and looking at Halloween decorations.

I initially read this as "z-grade zombie titties" and my assessment of Prime remains the same

Anyway, 1BR, In The Tall Grass, and Devil's Gate are all popping up for me on Netflix; should I bother with any of them? I have a very high tolerance for even the stupidest horror as long as it's vaguely sci-fi or ghosty

It comes from being in a movie obsessed family. We're to the degree that I wouldn't be surprised if there's still dishware from the Depression era theater giveaways in storage somewhere, and when my grand-aunt was in the late stages of Alzheimer's to where she was forgetting how to eat, she was still able to glower and make a fist to let me and my cousins know we were wrong when arguing about whether it was Clara Bow or Lillian Gish in a film. Pretty much we'll give anything a watch unless there's a grudge involved. Every since Jerry Lewis was an rear end in a top hat to my Mom and cousin, we've refused to sit through anything of his.

In The Tall Grass will certainly be tolerable for you. It’s not as good as it should be but there are some good performances, spooky moments, and I honestly don’t remember if the, um, source of antagonism (trying to be vague) is sci-fi or ghostly or ambiguously both.

Ill definitely second In The Tall Grass. Its not to long and its interesting. 1BR was alright for me but I felt it moved at such a break neck speed. I just got Shudder last night and saw Jawbreaker and watched it so I haven't seen what else was on there till tonight. I watched The Room and....eh. It was horribly campy at parts and I don't think it was ironic. It had some pretty chilling parts though.

I think I've figured out my plan for Sep/Oct movies. This month I'm going to work my way through the They Shot Zombies list started at 1000 and working my way up, watching the stinkers. Next month I'm going to start at 1 and working my way down, watching the really good one. I've watched like 300/1000 of them, so hopefully I can make a dent in the rest.

For fans of the podcast(s) "In Voorhees We Trust With Gourley and Rust" and "In Myers We Trust", I just saw Matt Gourley log Nightmare on Elm Street on Letterboxd. They've been quiet about if they're following through with "In Kruger We Trust", so this is a good sign.

Sweet! Freddy seems like the most obvious next choice, although they like to do 13 episodes so I wonder if they'll throw in some other Wes Craven movies or do a grab bag or something to fill out the rest of the season.

I'm almost done with the Myers season, just finished Halloween Resurrection on my drive to work today. It's kind of absurd how long each episode is, but it's a fun and chill podcast so I'm happy with the length.

I watched The Houses October Built last night, because Hulu keeps thrusting the sequel at me. I liked the central idea behind it, but I thought it was just a lovely execution.

After watching that documentary about the extreme haunted houses, the idea of running across one that takes it too far is a great idea for a movie. The major problem is it spends the first hour just looking for it, by going to other haunted houses, and occasionally being menaced by some clowns.

They finally arrive there in the last 20 minutes, and it's 90% darkness and screaming in first person, before the finale. The cool shot of that sequence for me was one of the characters is holding a glow-stick, the lovely part is the only thing you can see is the glow-stick.

Oh, and because the concept is these friends are filming a documentary, it's all in an annoying found footage style. Because everyone played themselves in the credits, it was probably just a bunch of friends deciding to make a full-length movie that should have been 30-45 minutes.

That said, I would love to see a better version of this, with a proper narrative that wasn't all filler.

It also made me sad that Halloween is cancelled this year :(

It's just such a pleasant listen. I don't think I finished a lot of the Halloween episodes, but I still think I got my time's worth out of them. Just two silly goofs talking about things they like.

Halloween be all aroun’ in the dark. Halloween will be ever’where — wherever you look. Wherever they’s a fight so hungry people can eat, Halloween will be there. Wherever they’s a cop beatin’ up a guy, Halloween will be there. If Mike Myers knowed, why, I’ll be in the way guys yell when they’re mad an’ — Halloween will be in the way kids laugh when they’re hungry an’ they know supper’s ready. An’ when our folks eat the stuff they raise an’ live in the houses they build — why, Halloween will be there. See? God, I’m talkin’ like Myers. Comes of thinkin’ about him so much. Seems like I can see him sometimes.
