Not Zuul, it's the destructor form of Gozer, which makes it the Avatar of a God, not a ghost?

Man Ghostbusters lore has always been weird but it sure hasn't gotten simpler...

The important thing to know is that the new ones got made because the reboot with ladies made nerds on the internet big mad.

yea i had a vague conception about that and then wasn't super interested in watching the new ones but they're probably fine

i thought the one with ladies was like, fine, not the best movie i ever watched but i cant conceive of being mad while watching kate mckinnon be a mad scientist

That reminds me of the time when I was eight or so and walked in on my cousins watching a horror movie during a party. I knew it had to be a horror movie, you see, because there was this super creepy white glowing ghost facing down a team of heroes. She had glowing red eyes and in a really creepy voice she asked them "Are you a god?". One of the men said no and she told them to leave, and then one of the men said "Ray, next time someone asks you if you're a god, you say yes." and that was the point when I ran back to my parents where it was safe and there were no scary horror movies.

It was very scary and I never forgot that scary scene.

A couple years later I watched Ghostbusters for the first time and felt very stupid.

when i was like, four or five i had the same type of experience walking in on one of the underworld scenes from beetlejuice, like where he becomes a big weird worm? i was scared to death of that movie until highschool when one of my best friends wanted to watch it cos she had a huge crush on winona rider and i realised it was not actually scary unless you're a little kid

I think I might actually be more unnerved by that movie now than I was as a child? It's one of those things that hits different, for whatever reason.

Then again, I watched the Alien trilogy as a child, so it is certainly likely that I was more inured to stuff then than I am now

EVERYTHING scared me and gave me nightmares as a kid, including like, the flying monkeys from Wizard of Oz, and going to the wax museum once

whereas my sister 4 years younger than me used to watch the original Night of the Living Dead repeatedly

that said i do kinda see like, the creepy stuff in beetlejuice does hit kinda real-creepy somehow

I'd call it kind of foundational in the genre, though I can't really think of anything that built off of it, and also it isn't actually 'good' in the traditional sense? But it's not good in a way that is very different from, say, the later Elm Street or Friday films weren't good? It's more not good in the way that any good B or lower horror movie is when it's GREAT. Also, because of when it was made, problematic as all hell, but also many of us baby lgbtq+s first encounter with anything approaching gender alternatives, or gender reassignment(which I believe was the correct term at the time?)

I'd say it occupies a space in culture similar to somethingike Cruelty Squad, where it is, undeniably a mess, but that adds to it being what it is, instead of detracting.







Anyway, who scum?

I am mostly unaware of cruelty squad, but i was essentially raised on problematic 80s schlock (I just didn't watch as much horror cos. cowardly.) so i think it's well within my wheelhouse and tolerances

Get off this forum, sis!

My younger sister was scared of the loving Carebear movies. I could only ever watch the Carebears in Wonderland one, where the scary evil sorcerer was barely evened out by the baby unicorn. We also couldn't watch any of the Land Before Time movies more than once, because scary.

Our list of movies we could watch together after growing out of Carebears was Clueless and Babysitter's Club. At one point she agreed to watch the Borrowers movie a second time, but it turned out that was because she and her best friend were crushing on that kid who played Draco Malfoy and he was in it, so that ruined that experience.

to be fair the land before time was really scary!!!!!!! also you can't get rid of me sorry <3 *

by the way! due to the specific way votefinder is currently broken, and the fact that i have an account there under my profile name at b&r, you should vote marimo if you want it to register as voting for me (hopefully this will be fixed soon lol)

i would suggest you consider not voting for me instead

theres definitely a lot of horror movies that I don't really care for, lotsa gore can get to be too much for me unless it's presented in a really campy/cartoonish way like in house (hausu) but it's also such a broad genre that i would find it hard to say "i don't like it at all"

A bunch of the first real female leads come from horror. And yes, some degree of that is pure male gaze exploitation, but some of it was stuff like Slumber Party Massacre, a film with a woman writer, director, and producer, that knew it had to be sleazy because a Cormac had the wallet, but also there was nowhere else in Hollywood you'd be able to get a film made about the fear of sex and its impact on the culture of the time, from a girl's point of view? If might be exaggerating but I think a case could be made that SPM is a precursor to something like It Follows, which due to loosening cultural morays is able to be more explicit about what it's saying, and doesn't need to couch it in a murderer with a power drill killing coeds.

I do really like the succinctness of describing classic horror as having its roots in exploration, which itself is subversive, especially when you start going into stuff like Candyman or Tales from the Hood which is very much a part of a history of using exploitation to tell non-white stories, and express an otherwise marginalized community's struggles and feelings in a way that DOES seek mass appeal, to spread that story outside of its community of origin and bridge gaps, as it were? Horror isn't the only genre that does this, but I think a good argument could be made that it does it the most, and the best

this is making me think i need to rewatch slumber party massacre, a handful of my friends and i rented slumber party masscre ii from movie madness in portland or a bunch of times (even though i think it was rare and we had to pay a deposit for it, but that may have just been "cool as ice" which definitely required one.)
