Drunkboxer posted:God Hellhouse LLC 2 gets so plodding by the end. I was going to power through it to get to 3 tonight but that poo poo drained my interest for the time being. I watched 2 a couple nights ago and didn't even know a third one was in the works until it showed up on Shudder's homepage. It's even more of a slog.

Zwabu posted:The real horror was the inability to come to a civil consensus on a dead comedy forum. Paperbacks From Hell traces modern horror novels back to gothic romances with ghosts back to gothic romance. So basically, all horror movies are ripoffs of The Notebook. Serious answer: Horror doesn't have protagonists, it has victims. Sono fucked around with this message at 01:36 on Sep 22, 2019 |

My Twitter Account posted:Any spook-a-doodle parents want to share tips on raising my offspring to love horror? On the one hand, Are You Afraid of the Dark and Goosebumps hold up great. On the other hand, my parents took me to see the first 15 minutes of Ghostbusters when I was like 5 (the library scene is straight horror, no comedy), my grandmother let me watch CHUD at about the same time, and my sister's favorite films growing up were Gremlins and Jaws. Enjoy A Serbian Film.

That says it's satire, and there are some Twitter posts calling it a comedy, but it's completely their fault that the trailer doesn't convey that at all.

STAC Goat posted:[25] The 30's were a revolutionary time for on-screen terror. Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff - absolute legends. But instead of watching them strut their stuff for the thousandth time, let's check out something from the decade to NOT feature either star. This is a lot easier than you'd think. The key term is "race film," made for black audiences when theaters were segregated. I watched this recently. It's fine, albeit all over the place and really doesn't fit a modern definition of horror (it's a crime movie), but that applies to a lot of 30's "horror" films outside of the classics.

weekly font posted:I dont remember if its a setting or a PC mod (probably the latter) but there’s a way to turn off the handful of pace and tone breaking, out of nowhere, feels like they were forced by the publisher, stealth sections. At least on PS4, it's a setting at the start of the game, and the options have petulant names like "Play with the monsters on because that's the way the game was designed" and "I'm a giant baby." I found half the encounters gripping and half annoying, which is pretty much how I felt about the game as a whole.

So I'm watching Witchboard on Shudder as background noise and just realized that Kevin Tenney straight up lifted an entire scene from himself in Night of the Demons 3. The "I didn''t know [this town] had a homicide division." "I'm it. Also the bomb squad and the truancy division." is, I think, word for word, and the homicide investigator gives very similar speeches about magic and Vegas, although he references Sigmund and Roy in the former and David Copperfield in the latter.

Doesn't need to be a horror movie per se, and I think it's more fun if it isn't, but if you caught one of the Freddy movies real early on and it scarred you for life, go ahead anyway. My parents took me to Ghostbusters when I was 4. I made it to the library scene. This is my earliest memory.

MrMojok posted:I should also add that the novel this movie was based on is called Thor (by Wayne Smith) and the entire story is told from the POV of the dog. It is awesome. I read it recently and it owns. The movie butchers the book, and I have no idea why they took out half the family. There are scenes, including the opening, where Marial Hemingway is playing the mom and the dad simultaneously.

Children of Sin on Tubi is everything I wanted They/Them to be. It's not particularly good, but it is very slashy. Shark Side of the Moon is possibly a werewolf movie. If werewolves are allowed to be organized, Soviet, and sharks. It's bad.

I dont know how, but I got it in my head that the dog would get bit by the werewolf and then turn into a wereman and help fight the werewolf. Going in, I thought that was what this movie was going to be about. Even tho it was a good movie, I couldnt help but be let down cause that seems like an interesting idea. Does any movie exist like this, or am I crazy? No, but there's a book - Howling Mad by Peter David MrMojok posted:You guys who enjoyed Bad Moon really should read the book it’s based on.

Invisible Man is consistently great: Raines in the first one kills it with the descent into madness. Price hits the same beats, but he's sympathetic, knowing the consequences, still taking the potion, and suffering for it. Invisible Woman is a great comedy, and I'm shocked that the censors didn't do anything about the fact that she needs to be drunk and naked to be invisible. We won't talk about the one where the invisible man fights Nazis by hiding under a bed for the entire movie. Revenge is weird because it portrays Jon Hall as so villainous when the antagonists tried to murder him in cold blood twice. I love it, but perhaps I'm more willing to read him as an anti-hero than most. The Abbott & Costello flick is second rate, but second rate (Invisible, Jeckyll) is a 9.5 instead of a 10 (Frankenstein, Mummy).
