Franchescanado posted:I started watching that Eli Roth History of Horror show, and it's a little frustrating? It's more interested in name-dropping some movies, convolutes the evolution of genre's to the point of misinformation (without any real benefit to this), and it has Eli Roth in it. And Chris Hardwick. I was mildly interested in this but glad to see not to waste my time.

That was p impressive I remember that. It was like the most amazing thing I’ve seen and it really solidified this as the best thread.

s.i.r.e. posted:This is where Nickelodeon succeeded well, Global GUTS and Legends of the Hidden Temple was all about kids doing awesome poo poo that other kids would have killed to do and not about their backstories. I think at most it was like, "I'm from Florida and I'm here today with my brother!" and boom, off to the races. “Im from Florida, and no, I don’t know how to assemble the shrine of the silver monkey”

M_Sinistrari posted:It's pretty much the consensus that Lovecraft had issues on top of issues. And since I had to look up what shoe fly pie was, I actually feel pretty queasy at the thought of it. I’m the opposite, I now want to try Shoofly Pie but also I’m afraid it’ll make me a racist like Lovecraft.

OldTennisCourt posted:I'm still bummed that the scariest scene in the book got cut. The scene where IT becomes the Creature from the Black Lagoon and stalks that kid through the junk yard is scary as hell. I was doubly disappointed because I was hoping they’d update it and make it Jason Voorhees.

T Bowl posted:He didn't actually attack her. It's this weird "dream" thing where we assume what she heard from Mrs. Voorhees was enough to have her traumatically dream of him. In Voorhees We Trust is so great. I firmly believe their theory that Jason did drown, and was dead for the first movie, but the butt worm from part 9 reanimated him and aged him up.

Neo Rasa posted:Is the Castle Rock series good? I can’t speak for what other people thought, but I thought it was dreadfully boring. It might pick up later in the season, but I just got bored and quit as it’s a lot of people being passive aggressive to show off there’s tension between them.

david_a posted:Based on the screenshot it looks purple. I now want more than anything for it to just be purple. Like, the producers asked the director how he planned to show a color outside the visible spectrum and he was like “it’s purple” and said it with such conviction that they couldn’t argue against it.

Basebf555 posted:There's a major payoff to the slow buildup but yea, there's not a lot of ghost "action" in the movie. Might just not be your thing. I never realized how much Part VI filtered into my brain until I saw a cop car turn on its lights and zoom down the highway to catch a guy and I instinctively said “hit the noise and the cherries”

Blast Fantasto posted:Phantasm -> Phantasm 2 is another great shift in tone from original to sequel. The original is this pseudo-art film with a lot of genuinely creepy moments and the second one is all quad-barrel shotguns, chainsaw fights, and hats that say Boogie Down. Phantasm 2 is one of my favorite movies. I love how far it veers off the first.

For sure watch FWWM if you haven’t, and even better, watch the Missing Pieces (the scenes cut out from FWWM). There’s so much from the movie that plays a bigger part in The Return. And if you want to be a hyper nerd, read The Secret History of Twin Peaks before watching The Return and The Final Dossier after. Secret History gives a lot more depth to the story (and legit is a good read) and The Final Dossier will give you more closure. Both are written by Mark Frost.

It’s also just a beautiful critique of the current nostalgia mining. Love catchphrases from the show? here, take a “cherry pie” from Dougie. I will say it took me a little while to come around on the ending. I even woke up at least twice the night of the finale to read the internet to see if someone else had parsed it more than I did before I went to bed.

Franchescanado posted:All of the character arcs and the overall arc makes a lot of thematic sense, though. You can't change the past, but you can improve the future with hope, optimism, love, kindness and determination. All that stuff is pretty cohesive. I really like this reading but I’d also add: And don’t gently caress with forces beyond your comprehension because you’ll get hosed.

gey muckle mowser posted:From a Buick 8 is one of those King books that sounds dumb as hell but is actually pretty decent. At least I thought so when I read it over a decade ago. Ive been reading through King’s stuff, and after like 1992 I’m unsure in what is worth reading after that other than a few suggestions (11/22/63, Revival, Doctor Sleep although this thread seems against it for the most part) so anything worth catching after Dolores Claiborne, according to everyone here?

Franchescanado posted:Yes, absolutely. And informative, like going into explanations and fan theories about Jason's deformities and why he wears masks. It’s because of that show that there’s finally a suitable fan theory for how Jason drowned in 1 but didn’t really and lived in the woods (the butt worm from Jason Goes to Hell went into the corpse and reanimated it).

Franchescanado posted:Seconding the Maniac remake. Really disturbed me the first time I saw it. Really impressed with Elijah Wood on that one, and how well the cinematography and direction made me feel implicit with the crimes I'm watching. It’s honestly one of my favorite horror films. I put it up there with Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer and Rosemary’s Baby in that way they make you just feel so bad.

Lurdiak posted:The Raft blows. Creepshow 2 would probably not get included in my Halloween marathon every year if it didn't pair so well with the first one, it's a really big step down. I mean it's still good, but the first two segments are insanely dragged out, and there's not enough variety, and the animation on the framing device is godawful. Rewatching The Raft after having just finished reading the story really shows how much pacing can change a story. They both hit pretty much the same points, but the short story really makes a meal out of lengthening the time that they’re out there and really lays on how hopeless the situation is, while the segment blows so fast through everything. Plus you don’t get the main characters thoughts so you just see a dude swim to a raft then IMMEDIATELY start screaming about how this...black trashbag pile is alive. (I still love the ending of the Creepshow one more, though)

Franchescanado posted:I remember watching Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments growing up, and they chose the ending to Don't Look Now to be pretty high on the list. Had never heard of it before, and while they completely spoil the surprise, it effectively sold me on the movie. Still took me a few years to finally watch it, but it's worth it. I still love that show. I go back and watch a recording of it sometimes.

Franchescanado posted:I hope it continues to exist on YouTube in all it's glory. It's a weirdly great piece of programming from a different time in Television, all of the talking heads are interesting choices (which even the sequel series failed at accomplishing), and I have a lot of nostalgia for it. I rewatched it every Halloween season for a few years in a row, easy. I think the only list show I thought was better was VH1’s 100 Most Shocking Moments in Music, which is next to impossible to find anywhere other than short clips. And same about the yearly rewatch of the Bravo one. It also brought a lot more films to my awareness so I owe it a lot.
