Rental Sting posted:Season of the Witch was the first Halloween I saw at around age 10 or 11. My friend whom I rented the VHS with kept promising that he had seen it and that Michael would show up at various stages of the movie through the very end during the climactic chase through the woods (I think that's what happens, yes?). Needless to say, he did not show up and I was very disappointed, having been hyped up on Michael Myers as the ultimate personification of evil. I assume a lot of pre-teens in the pre/early internet era had a similar experience with the film. I haven't seen the movie since, but a lot of the images have stuck with me over the past couple of decades--particularly the kids heads turning into worms and snakes when they wear the halloween masks and watch the commercial--so the filmmakers must have been doing something right.  Silly, Michael Meyers is in Halloween 3 he's on the TV in the bar scene

Just finished my rewatch of Green Room and I think I might finally need to crack open my copy of One Cut of the Dead to ease up. Might search a bit for something that matches better, but I do need something more lighthearted after GR.

Kvlt! posted:Hit the nail on the head here. Esp bc the series started before "analog horror" was a big thing, whenever I watch a VHS movie I adore the aesthetics but the stories are so fuckin lame (with exceptions of course) (Also, Kyle Mooney's Saturday Morning All Star Hits scratched the same very specific itch for me. It might not be horror but it's got a surprising amount of existential dread, played for laughs of course.)

if you want a thematic fit Wild Zero has been discussed in the challenge thread and sounds extremely punk but if you're saying you have a copy of One Cut of the Dead you haven't seen you should just watch it right now

alf_pogs posted:Sam Neil is so good in horror stuff. and yeah this is Carpenter just casually smashing out an all-time cosmic horror fun romp I forgot that he was in Event Horizon also. Yeah I am so used to seeing him as Dr. Grant from Jurassic park. It’s fun seeing him just lose it.

Since people have been mentioning spooky TV Shows I thought I'd bring up RL Stines Haunting Hour from the mid-2010s. I only found it a few years ago but some of the episodes really stuck with me, like the opening 2-parter Really You. Something that helps is that whenever characters start behaving illogically, it's made very clear by the acting that it's because of something external, the supernatural thing is literally rewiring their brains to ensnare them. Like in the Creamy Cold Ice Cream episode, it plays the obsession as an actual addiction, complete with obsessive thoughts towards the substance, nothing else seeming good enough, lashing out at their loved ones and selling important things so that they can just get one more hit culminating in actual felony lawbreaking in order to obtain the item (via illegal use of spikestrips). Then it has a great pun to end it all on, after the child catches the van and is forced to replace the last kid who broke in, who is now in his mid-30s and completely mad: "I'm glad you like ice cream kid, because in until you find someone else to replace you... it's ALL YOU CAN EAT!"

Finally saw Pearl and I have two items of note: 1. The final montage of chopping up the body might be the best gore effects I've seen in honestly years. Bright sunlight, no shadow to fudge it, and it just looked gross and goopy and perfect. I saw WETA did the practicals in the credits, so that would make sense, but what an absolutely gorgeous beheading. 2. That final stare down the barrel is maybe the best one since Tony Perkins at the ending of Psycho. The range of emotion in that one unbroken shot is honestly horrifying and, like Toni Collette (blessed be her name), Goth absolutely won't be rewarded for it.

Chris James 2 posted:This was my big/only concern with Terrifier 2 really, the pacing felt weird in a 90 minute film and the sequel being 2.5 hours gave me pause. So far everyone's been saying this is better (in every way but particularly about that), so I'm hyped, but yeah I got the worry Delighted to say Terrifier 2 is, indeed, better in every way than the first one. Stick around during the credits, however you're able to see this one

I’m going in on Terrifier 2 will report back, I did enjoy VHS 99 though, it’s definitely the 4th best and I really wish they’d stuck to the wraparounds being about circulating VHS tapes of creepy content (see VHS2) that being said the first segment with the punk band was a huge nostalgia hit and the make up reminded me of the video to SCREAM by The Misfits (yeah I know post Danzig fronted by a massive racist oval office Misfits). The Hell segment was rad as gently caress to, there’s just something about the VHS films I love.

Watched The Love Witch and I think my favorite part was the subtle and sudden reveal that everything was happening in modern day rather than the 70s. Has absolutely not barring on anything but really made me smirk for some reason.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:third Terrifier movie is about Art the Clown making people watch Terrifier 2 Honestly, Art the Clown invading a screening of a Terrifier true crime film premiere would rule. The Last Matinee was a great slasher in a theater feature, really up the ante on the meta-ness of Terrifier.

I watched The Medium last night and it’s still sticking with me, that’s got to be a top all time finale. I couldn’t believe how long it went on for and how drat hard it was rocking the entire time. Sure ends differently from how it starts

It may have been a Tales from the Crypt. edit: I figured it out its a made for TV movie made by Frank Darabont called Buried Alive.
