The Horror Thread 2U • Page 157

I had such a good time with Blood Beat when I watched it a couple weeks ago.

 

Ok just started up Halloween Resurrection on Pluto TV and they only have it in Spanish. Guess I'm getting some comprehension practice in lol

 

Knocked the OG VHS, The Thing From Another Planet, and Spiral (Shudder) off the list yesterday.

VHS still holds up, although it wasn't nearly as scary as I remember, probably because I watched it by myself during the day this time.

The Thing From Another World was cool, has a crazy fire stunt that I didn't expect from a movie that came out in 1951.

Also really enjoyed Spiral, a quick 90 minute queer supernatural thriller with a few nice scares.

 

I showed Society to a few friends today. They loved it, haha. Now we are watching Censor.

 

is The Final Girls from 2015 any good?

 

It is. I've been wanting to rewatch it, but don't really feel like seeing Middleditch.

 

Yeah, I'm in the mood for a horror comedy tonight

 

Final Girls has a great concept and cast

my fiancé wants to watch the village, so I guess we are watching that

 

Final Girls is great

 

So is The Village

 

I love it. More heart than you’d expect

 

Trick or Trick (86) is much darker (literally) than I usually dig, but the dance scene was fun. Also did Halloween Party (1989) a SOV slasher short complete with bloopers and a Monster Mash lip sync. Starting The Midnight Hour now but I’m fading fast

 

Just watched Possession 4K restoration on the big screen. Wild ass movie. I’ve seen that subway scene maybe a dozen times online but seeing it in a theater was claustrophobic as fuck.

That creature design/idea had to inspire Hellraiser, no?

 

How is The Last Shift? Debating between that and Beyond the Black Rainbow as I wrap up Dune here

 

If I recall some of the acting was a bit stiff / unintentionally funny in Last Shift but overall I personally found it pretty enjoyable and better than I expected for having never heard of it. Interesting setting as well.

But I haven’t seen Black Rainbow so I can’t say which is a better one to watch first

 

Finally watched Pumpkinhead after wanting to see it for a while. Granted didn’t know much about it just heard good things, and I love 80’s/90’s practical effects monster moves. Got giddy when I saw Stan Winston directed it! It was…….not great. Cool concept I guess, and interesting practical effects. Though for the man Winston almost vanilla.

 

Though Psycho Goreman was absolutely amazing.

 

The Midnight Hour rules! Everyone should seek it out

 

I watched Ready or Not tonight finally. don't know why it took me so long, fantastic movie. final act a little iffy but everything else was stellar

 

Given recent reports, I'm so in on a sequel.

Starting off the morning with Bride of Chucky.

 

Loving the vibe of this so far, thanks for the rec! Always down for these fun, cozy Halloween feels.

I love how into Halloween these characters are lolll

 

Fun Size is a cute little comedy about a teen looking for her little brother who wandered off on the way to a Halloween party. I'm unfamiliar with Chelsea Handler and Victoria Justice who play the mother and daughter; it was nice to see Jane Levy, Osric Chau, Riki Lindhome, and Thomases Mann and Middleditch in various supporting roles. It's not very strong thematically or comedically but it's charming enough.

 

Love that movie

 

The horror community seems to be re-evaluating Hellfest, so I’ll give it a chance. I’m in the mood for a slaSher.

 

Watched The Ruins last night for the first time since seeing it in theaters. I saw parallels from Annihilation, The Beach, and Old all in this one film. Seeing it again, I realize I knew every actor besides the blonde. It's worth a watch.
