https://youtu.be/jb4R1kJOTqE Youtube for the Day is Leif Jonker's Darkness from 1993. This recently got a restoration Blu-ray by Arrow, but watching it as grainy as possible is part of the charm imo. It's by no means a masterpiece and reads like a pastiche of Near Dark and Evil Dead, but it was made by a few 19 year olds for $5,000 in 1991 and it's wild some of the stuff they pull off here. That punk DIY spirit and an unbridled love of horror really earn at the least a one-time viewing if you're into anything I referenced here.

I love that Darkness was shot on film, but they couldn't pay for a proper transfer for home video, so Jonker projected it on a white poster board in his basement and videotaped it with a camcorder, and they used that copy as the master for the VHS. I remember renting it and thinking it was originally shot on video.

I was watching Army of Darkness for the umpteenth time, and noticed something I never noticed before: when Evil Ash introduces Possessed Sheila, and she removes her veil, there's a Deadite behind her fluffing out her hair.

God I hope he does another tour. Like... late next year, once it's safe. Or, well, y'know, realistically 2022... Aw poo poo. I'm never going to get another chance to see him live, am I?

Neo Rasa posted:"old, black and white, heavy on mood" Thanks for this list. I’ve seen some but look forward to the ones I haven’t. I ended up screening The Innocents (1961), which was on YouTube in a pretty great print. I have to say, the movie was excellent. One of, if not the best ghost story I’ve seen on film.

Random observation, I'm watching The Adams Family for the first time in years and I'm looking at the opening credits saying to myself "hmm these feel like they're very similar to Men in Black, I wonder if someone on MIB liked these and ripped them off" Come to find out The Adams Family is also a Barry Sonnefeld film. Weird how that stuff works sometimes.

I just discovered a streaming service called Shout Factory and amongst other stuff it has episodes of Elvira, MST3K, and something called Cinematic Titanic. And man I wished I had discovered this earlier in the month but I'm now one step closer to an Challenge of X Horror Hosts. https://www.shoutfactorytv.com/film/horror

Which of the new Blumhouse movies on Amazon Prime are good? I just watched The Lie and it was decent, but it's 1. not horror and 2. extremely loving depressing.

You might consider The Lie a horror if you consider Jawbreaker a horror. Even then I'd still consider Jawbreaker more in the horror genre.

Posting from like 4 pages back to say that if you didn't like Hubie Halloween you're wrong. It's the second good movie Adam Sandler has ever been in.

It’s loving trash and has no plot. Unless it ended the same way Uncut Gems did, I’ll never finish it lmao.

I enjoyed Hubie Halloween but I had to watch it with subtitles to understand a single word Sandler was saying. But once I had the subtitles on the stuff he was saying was actually pretty funny.

I personally didn't mind it either, I wasn't expecting the next October staple but it was a decent watch, don't feel like I wasted my time.

The Craft is one of my favorite movies and I'm tempted to watch this but if it's just a remake I'll pass. Hot take: there's never been a good PG-13 sequel to an R-rated movie.

Enough of that trash. Here's a palette cleanser, a teaser for Halloween Kills: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_NGjpJxX9c Also, concept art from the Gremlins prequel which is I'm sure going to be very heartwarming: https://twitter.com/thetzechun/status/1321842767149076480
