The Horror Thread [Archived] Movie • Page 399

Forget which one it was but the kill where a person’s bowels was sucked out from a vacuum in the public pool plumbing still freaks me out.

 

Just watch the Always Sunny where they go to the pool to change that memory.

 

Man Halloween 5 is dumb as shit

 

I’m guessing you watched the Dead Meat entry?

 

Lol yup currently am

 

Might be the worst one tbh. Tied with Ressurection and Zombie's Halloween 2, anyways.

 

Idk how you can watch 4-6 and not respect what Zombie did way more

 

The first remake is interesting enough, in some ways more than others, but 4 is a genuinely solid entry and 6 is enjoyable in a bad/campy way

edit: plus, Paul Rudd

 

I haven't seen Zombie's 2 in a while but man, the lighting and cinematography alone are enough to love it more than most entries. The hospital scene, the kills shot by headlight, even the strip club scene are very, very well shot. Even if the dream sequences don't work for you.

 

I still like Zombie’s remake because it delved into a back story. H2 is a mess and unnecessary.

 

There's just something so weird and nihilistic and off about H2 that keeps me coming back to it. It humanizes Michael moreso than the original sequels while at the same time turning him into this unstoppable constantly moving and migrating force of extreme violence and evil. I need to rewatch it to talk more about it, but this writeup is pretty good:

You, the Horror: Halloween II | The House Next Door | Slant Magazine

Plot is relatively non-important in any Halloween sequel, which is why I'm always so surprised that people get put off by the dream sequences. I'm focusing more on Zombie as a director. He's an auteur, which is pretty damn rare for mainstream horror

 

Legitimately can't wait for this: The Curious Creations of Christine McConnell NETFLIX ORIGINAL
Been following her on Instagram for years. She's amazing.

 

I just read about this today! Looks like it should be really good.

 

he knows how to shoot a movie, but I personally hated what he did with the character's backstory and I felt like all the suspense was gone. to be fair I haven't watched 4-6 in a while, but i'll still hate Zombie's Halloween haha. never saw the second one because I've never heard a positive thing about it.

the good news is, with that simple line of dialogue in the trailer for the new one, "it was not her brother, that's something people made up", everything is brilliantly kept in canon by becoming myths and legends of Michael Myers, so they're all left to be enjoyed as campfire tales. at least that's my new head canon haha.

 

Damn. Idk if many of you know about I-Mockery, but it was definitely a staple for me growing up. They'd do "Classic Horror Movie Moments" with gifs and funny reviews and a bunch of other features around Halloween. I always check up on them around this time of year. The leader of the site was absent for a while and posted this in June. TW suicide, depression
Overwhelmingly Beautiful & Tragically Short. For Marie - The Love Of My Life

All the best to him, he brought joy into a lot of people's lives.

 

So I recently signed up for VRV primarily to revisit my childhood with their Nick Splat channel... I haven't bothered exploring the other channels but now realized one of them is Shudder... so what are some recs to check out on there?

 

speaking of halloween (btw zombie's H2 is great) i just noticed & preordered that amazing Halloween III vinyl package from mondo

 

thank you for sharing.

 

yeah I've been on the fence cause I reallllly want it. it's as if mondo doesn't want me to save money haha

 

Speaking of Mondo, my friend sent me a Halloween care package and I just opened it and the first thing I saw was the OTGW For Sara cassette!!!

 

CineLife Entertainment - Halloween: 40th Anniversary ooooooo

 

the final destination kill that really stuck in my mind was the tanning beds (I think in the 3rd movie)
the skin bubbling was so nasty

 

the acupuncture one was quite awful for me in that I have a severe phobia of needles.

 

hell ya

 

Quentin Tarantino Talks Michael Myers in Trailer for AMC Series “Eli Roth’s History of Horror” I'm looking forward to this series
