The Eyes of My Mother Raw The Endless The VVitch Annihilation Get Out It Follows A Cure For Wellness Under the Skin What We Do In The Shadows Vaguely in that order, but maybe not exactly in that order. I almost put Spring on there as well but wanted to keep it to one Benson/Moorehead eh

Informally glancing through, it seems like The VVitch is the most common pick among posters for the decade though I don't think many had it in their absolute top spot.

I'll admit to preferring Midsommar to Hereditary overall, but calling Florence Pugh's performance one of the film's weakpoints is hard for me to understand. I thought she was fantastic and worth watching for her alone.

Is this the thread to talk about how Wonder Woman 84 is a stealth Wishmaster sequel and how if they ever reboot the franchise Pedro Pascal would make a great genie cause it really felt like he was channeling Divoff at a few points

Prey was great and the flying guillotine style bear trap to the face right next to the dude getting squeezed through the metal net was especially brutal. wonder if they had to tone down some of the gore though, surprisingly little blood in some scenes

Visually looks great, a little disappointed that the trailer implies people are being sacrificed to the cenobites/they’re harvesting souls or pain versus the original, much weirder, the cenobites worship the extremes of physical sensation, consider their mission holy, only take people who have explicitly sought them out etc. doesn’t mean it can’t be a good horror in it’s own right. i’ll definitely be watching

My big fear is just that we’ll get pinhead saying, like, “once we’ve harvested 1,000,000 spookylitres of pain, we’ll finally be be free and the invasion can begin” and the movie’s climax is a big blue beam of light over Detroit or whatever. As much as the Cenobites have become canonized as horror villains, it was Frank, Julia, eventually the doctor, the human characters, who were the evil. trailers are tough to read though. the rich dude selling people to the lament configuration for whatever the reward is could definitely make a compelling bad dude if they play it right

I’ve have a pitch for the next Hellraiser! It should be a late 90s/early 2000s period piece where a group of middle schoolers come up against the extremes of sensation when they realize that even the black cherry Warhead flavor isn’t sour enough and they receive the Lament Configuration after, um, sending in the UPCs from the back of a bunch of candy boxes

muscles like this! posted:Yeah, "Wordsworth", it was written by Neil Gaiman with art by Dave McKean. The funny thing is that the editor of the Hellraiser comic absolutely hated it and refused to actually put it into the book until the very last issue. Oof yeah. Including The Harrowers, a ragtag band of good guys who had glowing golden angel weapons (including a boomerang). Honestly, in a lot of Barker's later revisiting of the Hellbound Heart mythos he has Leviathan as an unambiguously evil force and the Cenobites as just vicious demons. It's too bad.

I hope we can all agree that Thir13en Ghosts was a huge improvement over 12elve Ghosts and a return to form for the franchise.

King is really known for his sprawling writing and mixing in multiple weird fantastic elements into his horror, but I think the most tightly written book he ever did is a The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon which has yet to develop much of a reputation but I quite like. It’s a small scale story about a little girl who gets separated from her family and lost in the woods and starts to see something following her, which may be a bear, might be something more, or might just be her imagination. It’s only 200 pages and just a bit more real and focused in its character work.

First ep of del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosity was ok. Pretty good but nothing really special in terms of spooks, direction, or performances. Neither of these first 2 eps though is from one of the director’s i’m really watching for so hopefully there’s so more interesting stuff as we go on.

I think tomorrow and Friday will be the good eps. Tomorrow we have David Prior (The Empty Man) with David S Goyer on script duty and then Ana Lily Amirpour (A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night) Friday is Panos Cosmatos (Mandy, Beyond the Black Rainbow) followed by Jennifer Kent (Babadook)

Final Cabinet rankings: 1. The Autopsy 2. The Outside 3. The Viewing 4. The Murmuring 5. Dreams In The Witch House 6. Graveyard Rats 7. Lot 36 8. Pickman’s Model But it was a very strong series with no outright misses. The lesson? Your horror short should probably start with “the”

1984 I’m gonna say Company of Wolves. It’s low on scares but it’s just so unique snd stylish and has some of the best and most varied werewolf transformations put to screen and really tries hard to capture some of the weird specificity that turns up in folklore and fairy tale

Really hard to pick between Demons, Reanimator, and the Stuff but i’m gonna shout out The Stuff because Michael Moriarty is such a charming scumbag and the energy in that film is really rarely matched.

Gonna give it to Hellraiser II which I actually prefer to the original (love the labyrinth, love the skinless effects). Shout out to Evil Dead Trap which I got exposed to when a bunch of people watched it for this year’s October challenge and is pleasantly batshit 80s J-horror
