All this stress must be giving you a blistering headache. Better tell your boss you're going home sick.

Can't even do that these days with the pandemic going on, you're likely to end up being told you can't come back to work until you get a negative COVID test.

One time during the pandemic I wanted to leave work early so I told my boss that I had received a call about an urgent maintenance issue at my apartment. They seemed to buy it but you can only use that one so many times.

Tell him you thought you just needed to fart but it turned out different and now you need to run home for a change of clothes.

YOu can be like the guy who's been sick all week at my job, showed up today, obviously still very sick, "to make his rounds" before going back home, claiming it isn't COVID because his brother tested negative.

A bit difficult that as this is overtime, and I’m in a hospital handcuffed to a Murderer, even if I did call the prison for cover no one would get here before my leaving time.

:stonk: I'd be a bit more worried about that than your blu-rays to be completely honest

e: also, my experience is that you only get told to get a COVID test if your symptoms indicate COVID, which has made explosive diarrhea a really good go-to excuse (because, absent of any other symptoms, people are gonna figure food poisoning, not COVID)

I’d wait until they iron out the kinks in it. Apparently there’s some QC issues with the box itself and it getting slashed up during manufacturing and there’s disc errors on some of the movies for some of the orders. Scream Factory is looking into it but it’s up to New Line and Paramount to do something about it.

The disc errors are another thing, but are you sure this part isn't a feature? :murder:

Speaking of Friday the 13th, anyone ever watch the fan film "Never Hike Alone"? The makers of that just released a short prequel film called "Never Hike in the Snow". It clocks in at a half hour, has a really gnarly kill, and does a better job establishing the Pamela/Jason relationship than the previous twelve "official" movies did.

Personally I didn't know what Lin Shaye looked like until I saw Insidious, so I didn't realize that was her in NOES until I then rewatched it at some point after that.

I rewatched The Monster Club a couple nights ago and was baffled at the campy awfulness of the makeup. The framing story and the anthology actually build this little mythology around vampires, werewolves, and ghouls being the chief types of monster, but a lot of the background characters are just wearing miscellaneous monster masks. Surely it would've cost less money to just put everyone in vampire and ghoul makeup?

Anyway, I will be creating a multimedia franchise based on this exquisite Lore.

Her brother, Bob Shaye, founded the studio that produced the Nightmare films. He's played a few bit parts in the series too.

And Jason

The prequel to the fan film released a few years ago made me go Oh poo poo Yes Let's GO

Because its really good!

EDIT: Also I adore that this fan film Jason got some kind of nod in that one Friday the 13th Puzzle game as 'Ghost Jason'

I wonder what percentage of people watching Body Melt know who ‘Harold Bishop’ is. As a Brit, that was always the selling point for that movie (which I still haven’t seen something).

(Not really a spoiler, just an explanation).
The guy who plays Dr Carrera was super well known for playing a character on the soap opera Neighbours for yeeeeears, super meek and mild dude you would never imagine being in this kind of film.

It's weird that no one really gives a poo poo about the idea of UFOs anymore. They put out some footage of a UFO supposedly taken by the Air Force or something and everyone was pretty much like 'pffft, that's not even in the top 5 of hosed up poo poo that happened this year'

It seems like most of the energy in conspiracy circles got redirected towards trump. A lot of conspiracy stuff was trending rightward under Obama, but once Trump showed up he just eclipsed everything.

I‘d blame the sheer ubiquity of HD cameras and streaming platforms, plus an increased familiarity with special effects technology. It’s way easier to call out fakes, and way harder to misidentify objects in blurry footage.

The trend has consequently shifted from a belief in spectacular events captured on tape to a total distrust of all media (“fake news”, Bernstein Bears, etc.).

It’s a chicken-and-egg thing where we know all the techniques used in found-footage movies and creepypastas, making hoaxing more difficult - but those genres are also filling a void left by the decline of traditional hoaxing.

That's fun stuff for sure. Heather Langenkamp rules, wonder why she wasn't in more movies. On the Wes tip, I really dig People Under The Stairs and I liked My Soul To Take. And just about everything else. FvJ is a non-Wes fav of mine.

Should I watch Vampire in Brooklyn by the way?

Also, not horror necessarily, but any thoughts on The Dark Backward? It's been a movie I both don't want to watch, and don't want to not watch.

If you like other Adam Rifkin films, you might as well watch The Dark Backward. It’s certainly an uncommon plot, at the very least.
