If anyone in this thread hasn’t yet seen the Never Sleep Again documentary, it’s like 4 hours and a really good overview of the entire series. I think it’s still on Shudder.

What's a great scene in an otherwise awful horror film?

I said it before, but Poughkeepsie Tapes is generally loving awful but the scene where the killer is hiding in the couple's home while they change is one of the best constructed and suspenseful horror scenes I've seen in a long time.

Most of Evilspeak boring and bad, but the ending is loving awesome. Clint Howard summoning Satan with a computer and decapitating people with a broadsword makes the entire thing worth it.

Any good Japanese ghost story recommendations? Looking for something grim and self-serious like Noroi or Pulse. Bonus points if it was released within the past few years, but don't let that stop you from recommending some hidden gem.

Although they’re not Japanese, I’d recommend checking out Shutter (the Thai version, not the American remake), as well as the Korean Whispering Corridors series.

So last night I watched Glenn Danzig’s Verotika. Much like The Room, it’s got the right mix of earnest effort and incompetence that makes it a lot of fun to watch. Unfortunately, this is also a very male-gazey movie, and the third segment is mostly just boring. Despite that though, grab some friends (if they’re not quarantined), have a couple of drinks, and you’ll have a good time.

Ill second House of Leaves. I read it in high school, thought it was fine, then read it last year (which was...15 years later? Jesus) And loved it.

Not really a horror novel, but Pattern Recognition might fit in those boxes. It’s also insanely prescient with viral videos and stuff, especially for a book that came out in 2002.

And there’s also the Ring series.

I’ve been meaning to read the Ring series for a while now, but from reading about them on Wikipedia it sounds like the sequels get absolutely buck wild

The film of Spiral is certainly interesting, but not all all like the original

Article in The Daily Beast today about Cinestate, which produced Bone Tomahawk and VFW, working with Adam Donaghey, known in the Texas film scene as “the Harvey Weinstein of Dallas.” Donaghey was publicly accused of raping a minor earlier this year, but stories of him sexually harassing women have circulated for years prior to his partnership with Cinestate.

The article also details harassment and poor treatment of crew members on several of Cinestate’s productions, including VFW, where Fred Williamson sexually harassed multiple women. Crew members on Satanic Panic were forced to work 18-hour days with no overtime, and an actress was pressured into filming a sex scene with a fan when an actor didn’t show up to set.

FWIW that seems to pretty much just be Zahler. Joe Begos doesn't seem to be a chud as far as I'm aware (though yikes, that Williamson stuff reflects badly on him, I hope he says something and it doesn't suck), and while I don't actually know who directed Satanic Panic, it didn't come off as right-wing to me in any sense.

Ehhh I think Cinestate as a company is pretty CHUDdy, the guy who started it has talked about them making “populist,” Trumper-friendly movies, and it even bills itself as “separated geographically and ideologically from the coasts”

They've clarified, because they're getting roasted. 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.

Yeah I meant despite the intent it will ultimately depend on the execution

idk if I want to see violent, conspiratorial racists I can just watch the news

Though it is funny that already Qanon people are posting comments that the trailer is making them look bad

I mean you're not wrong, but creepypasta has the horrible disadvantage of being permanently written down and often signed, which means it doesn't get iterated upon or the really crappy ones filtered out through the passage of time like folk horror. And also most of it is written by tweens which has its own issues.



You definitely don’t want to go down the road if horny creepypasta fanfic, either. Not unless you want to read about Slenderman getting knocked up by Jeff the Killer, anyway.
