This movie had more of an effect on me at a young age than any R rated movie did. Lmao

 

It's her, not me!! I don't have an opinion yet!

 

Yeah, but just one person is enough to cut me deep.

 

Watched Freaks of Nature, baffling movie. They have it a 30 million dollar budget and then didn’t even do a wide release because it was so bad. What a mess.

 

I’ve had that one downloaded forever. I guess I’ll continue to not be in a rush to watch it. Lol

 

Always recommending Tusk to folks looking for something light (jk, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was plenty fun though)

Also have wanted to see Freaks of Nature just for Mike Mitchell lol

 

Monster Squad...well I don't know if it's "light" but it's certainly not scary for anyone over hte age of 13 haha

That's another one I saw when I was little. Honestly the scariest part of that movie for me was Dracula's vampire brides, their look was creepy as hell to me lol

 

I still think Art is a forced horror icon tbh

 

I might have agreed with you all the way up to last year, but no one else is stepping up and it seems like he's here to stay lol

 

I think Saturday the 14th was my Monster Squad, I should rewatch that one lol

 

Speaking of kids watching horror movies, we watched Smile 2 on our trip today. Aside from those who just don't enjoy the genre (sadly they were out-voted by their classmates), they all really enjoyed it. They started doing the relief laugh after a good jump scare, and they really appreciated the psychological horror aspect of the movie. They were talking about the ending the entire train ride home. Many of them are going to watch the original tonight, which imo is a lighter film.

They liked dread-inducing horror the most, so tomorrow is Hereditary at a local theatre!

Regarding Terrifier, two of the students new to horror, but truly getting into it, watched the first one yesterday. Both of them thought that Smile 2 is "more appropriate" and decided that we shouldn't go see the new Terrifier based on their experience with the first. We weren't going to because my co-teacher and I already decided it was too much for what is ultimately a school trip, but it was nice to see their maturity and judgement.

 

Monster Squad is great!

Woof I watched that just recently for hooptober and it was way too silly haha

 

Feels like a Halloween 3 kind of night for me.

 

Damn I got the original with the kickstarter they did. Kinda bummed I can’t afford to back this one right now.

 

It looks like they spent 30 million, but with writing that bad and an unlikable protagonist they really shouldn’t have.

 

Mitch throws a slushie from a car, one line and he’s barely visible. Def needed more @The Spoonman

 

I've seen Tiktoks of ppl dressed as Sue from The Substance, and I think the May Queen from Midsommar was a popular Halloween costume a while back, but I'm not sure if I'd consider either of those horror icons, still feels pretty niche

 

Personally, I don’t think they’re that niche. These things aren’t becoming this popular because everyone is seeing it, they’re this popular because everyone is talking about them and posting on social media. Those two examples are more like cultural icons in general than specifically horror icons. A lot of people are getting this stuff from clips and memes and won’t even watch the movies. We’re all too online now to not just know big movie culture references

 

I saw The Shining when I was 8 and I'm fine (narrator who sounds like Pennywise: he's not fine)

 

Wolfman looks cool

 

i don't think i wanna see any more trailers for it

unless they show it before a movie i'm seeing in theaters

 

Doubt it’ll be at one of mine, but I can hope

Edit: I have now actually opened the article and see it is at Alamo Drafthouse. So never-fucking-mind I guess

 

Did Philly offend the people at Alamo Drafthouse or something? What did I do to deserve this?

 

just finished up Revenge. was pretty satisfied with it. kinda wanna watch The Silence of the Lambs tonight too or at least start it. been a long time since I’ve seen it
