I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


Even now this landscape is assembling.
The hills darken. The oxen
sleep in their blue yoke,
the fields having been
picked clean, the sheaves
bound evenly and piled at the roadside
among cinquefoil, as the toothed moon rises:

This is the barrenness
of harvest or pestilence.
And the wife leaning out the window
with her hand extended, as in payment,
and the seeds
distinct, gold, calling
Come here
Come here, little one

And the soul creeps out of the




Welcome one and all, to the official :spooky:Scream Scream:spooky: thread for this October. What started as a way to celebrate Halloween with a few online friends has grown into a yearly tradition that I want to share with everyone. If you love horror movies and the season of the witch even half as much as I do, or if you just want to hang out with some goons and watch movies this October, you'll fit right in. Now, let me explain how this works.

Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday for all of October, at 8:30 EST, I'll be streaming two horror films a night, along with some other light halloween-themed entertainment to break it up. The stream is hosted here and sometimes here if something goes wrong. That's 24 horror movies total! And you can chat with goons in the official Scream Stream discord while you watch!

Every Scream Stream has its own Scream Theme, and this year the theme of the films shown will be Direct To Video. Every single feature was released directly on home video, streaming, or other non-theatrical venue. These obscure releases are hopefully new to you, or at least fun.


Gaze in wonder at this year's library.

The usual disclaimer applies that I haven't seen everything I'll be streaming, so surprises are in store for all of us. I'll also be showing something after the second movie for you night owls.

But there's more to the Scream Stream than watching awesome horror movies with your favorite goons! We also have prizes! What kind of prizes? Well how's about :



Every single Friday night, you'll have your chance to enter a raffle to win a pizza the following night, to enjoy while you watch your movies! You have to tune in for the details, and the rules are slightly different this year. The only thing tastier than pizza is pizza you don't have to pay for! Here are some satisfied winners from the past:



On a more personal note, I'm really thankful to everyone who participates in this yearly tradition. Life isn't always easy but Halloween always cheers me up, and it makes my year that I can share some of that joy with an audience. Feel free to say hi in the discord and post here! Scream Stream is fun for everyone.... as long as you don't overdo it with the pizza.

I'm so goddamn happy it's that time of year again. Last year was my first Scream Stream and it was a blast. I cannot recommend this enough to any goons who haven't taken part in this yet.

Sadly, since I work nights I will not be able to participate on Fridays. Papa Lurdiak, I hope you will be able reveal details soon on how to get in on them sweet pies, I still want to contribute to that!

I felt a tug on my heartstrings and realized that after the first weekend I'm going to miss most of this year's, I think. I should be around for the rest of the Sundays, though.

It's really challenging due to time differences but I'll try to join at least a few streams on Fridays or Saturdays. Last time it was pretty fun watching cheesy horror flicks and ripping into them in the chat. Looking forward!

Oops, almost forgot, went back and added some content advisory information for both films. Last year there was a very unfortunate incident where a viewer saw something on the very first Scream Stream night that vividly reminded them of a personal trauma, and this pretty much wrecked their October. I'm making an effort to avoid a repeat of that this year.
