The Horror Thread 2U • Page 110

HDD2 leans into sci-fi a bit more heavily than 1 but I like that about it.

 

going into Dont Breathe 2. not super excited by any means but cautiously optimistic it surprises me in some sort of redeeming way. my friend really wants to go and with regal unlmtd it’s like okay i guess whatever

 

should I watch Ghoulies?

 

YES

the series is fun as hell

 

I like it so far

 

Welp I cannot lie, I did not hate Don't Breathe 2 as much as I expected. Motivations are completely fucked in this movie and it completely relies on the audience coming to some sort of forgiveness or leniency for the blind man but on its face as a thriller, I thought it worked. Some of the gore/kills were pretty awesome too. Probably won't see it again and I hope they don't make another one though.

 

test your Lynchian knowledge. I did pretty good but Jay puts me to shame

 

A horror masterpiece. Maybe better than the original!

 

watching The Return of the Living Dead

 

watched that for the first time last week and it fucking RULED

 

yeah, return is just wild fun. need to watch the sequels.

 

this movie is madness

 

night house was fine. i enjoyed the first half but the ending was just goofy and pretty dumb.

 

Damn, Old was a MESS. I laughed a lot at how bonkers it was but it was also pretty much dogshit lol

 

Finally went back and finished the most recent season of Creepshow. Love the idea of an Immersive VR movie pod and hope Justin Long makes one in real life

 

I really liked Old

 

wow

 

Trying to find a VCR to watch some stuff on VHS this Halloween season and goddamn I didn't think they'd be so expensive.

 

I got mine at goodwill for pretty cheap a couple years ago

 

Yeah I think the market has gone way up recently, especially online. I'll definitely be checking thrift stores and garage sales instead.

 

I found a working used one at a church owned thrift store here in Utah a few years ago, and it was priced at $15 so I (drunkenly) changed the price tag to $5 and got it for $5

 

Gf and I started working our way through our spooky season list early this year. I think I posted about this already, but Final Destination was absolutely hysterical. Might become a yearly watch - it's the right kind of early 00's terrible.

Spider Baby was also a lot of fun, although it was way tamer than I anticipated. The entire dinner scene was brilliant.

I finally got to show her Dream Warriors, too. It was always my favorite movie from the franchise as a kid, and although the first one is objectively the best, DW held up fairly well - the dream sequences and deaths were creative (the marionette scene had us both going "wow") and the weird relationship between the doctor and Nancy was...something. The heroin scene was entirely fucked up but the breathing track marks were definitely memorable.

On another note, super excited because I bought a projector and once we figure out what we're going to do for a screen, outdoor spooky movie nights are going to be a thing.

 

I think Final Destination is genuinely good lol

 

the first one is so damn good
