Starting off the season with John Carpenter's 'The Fog'

4k HDR Blu-ray on the Bravia 65", playing off the PS5 of course.

I feel like audiences have really come around on this one. I can remember being younger and even horror fans said it was dumb.

Legit one of the best ghost story movies ever. I live in a coastal town too, can see the water from my house. So dope, love this time of year.

I've been going through a bracket of short horror films on YouTube in the run up to October. Not gonna lie, most of them aren't great, but there are a few gems in there. Happy to share some if anyone is interested.

Also watched 'Cobweb' Monday night. I'm starting to think I have no tolerance for modern horror. 99% of it is really fucking bad.

 

[12Goblins]

In recent releases, I thought Talk To Me was pretty decent. Hard to find decent horror movies imo

 

[EverydayBeast]

If there’s one horror film I’ll watch it’s

Halloween is routine.

 

[Macattk15]

Gonna watch Talk to Me. Wife has never seen Midsommar so that is on the list.

Nice, share the gems please.

YouTube has some great channels with random old horror movies that don't get copyright strikes. Nothing amazing but some are really entertaining if you need some cheese.

Body Count is one I was watching a few weeks back, need to go back and finish it. Great Italian take on Friday the 13th.

Shudder has a ton of gems, I cancelled my subscription a while back but might subscribe again for October.

What kind of horror do you like? I'll try to recommend some stuff.

One that comes to mind is the 1980s remake of The Blob. That movie is so amazing, I'll leave it at that cause it's best to go in blind.

 

[SpiceRacz]

Watched 'Talk to Me' tonight. All I'll say is, one of the best horror films of the past 5 years, if not decade. Go in blind, if you can.

 

[violence]

I’m going to watch a Friday the 13th in a VR theater. The best one I still need to see is part 4.

Siiiiiiick. I watched Welcome to Raccoon City () on the PSVR virtual screen last fall. Plan on doing the same with PSVR2 this fall.

 

[analog_future]

My wife and I watch a different set of horror films/television every October. One of my favorite traditions. She never got to watch horror growing up so it's all new to her.


This year, I'm thinking we're going to watch:

• The Exorcist
• Talk to Me
• the new Halloween trilogy (I haven't watched them)
• Hellraiser
• The Mist (black and white version)

 

[Putonahappyface]

The Thing
Event Horizon
The Shining

 

[Monokrom]

Event Horizon
Blair Witch Project
Dark Skies
Hellraiser
El Orfanato

Just started last night with one to ease the wife into my favorite movie season, love it:

I like psychological horrors with thought provoking themes and symbolism that stick with you for a while , ie Babadook, hereditarily, funny games, etc,

If you can handle subtitles you need to watch 'The Wailing'

It's spiritual but has a lot of symbolism and definitely makes you think and engage with the film.

It's South Korean. Don't look it up! Just set like 3 hours aside sometime this Fall and watch it in a dark room, the movie is like 2.5 hours and is worth every second.

Legit one of the most terrifying movies I've ever seen, the way it strings you along...it's amazing. Has a 99% on RT if that matters to you.

If you watch the new Halloween films please share your thoughts. Lots of divided opinions for the last two but I enjoyed them all.

Not counting the original, Halloween Kills (the 2nd one) is my personal favorite now, the overall vibe is masterful to me and the way they filmed Michael in the dark, man he looks cool as fuck!

On that note, H20 is really underrated IMO. Gets a lot of hate but if you marathon the OG movies I find it's hard to argue that it isn't one of the best ones.

Time to crack out this disc.

[killatopak]

Does Terminator 1 count?

Otherwise, I’ll probably rewatch Alien, The Thing or Event Horizon.

 

[kingwingin]

Messiah of evil is my go to. Waiting on the Radiance LE to drop

 

[OmegaSupreme]

I randomly decided to give The Howling 2 a shot a few nights ago. It's very 80's in not good way so far. Christopher Lee is the lead in it which is cool. Was that guy ever young?

 

[AJUMP23]

I watched "No One Will Save you"

It is about the girl from last man standing fighting aliens. meh made for streaming movie.

It was when I subscribed. It probably is, I've seen it on multiple streaming services.

Watched this tonight. Love this movie.

Your Sister is a WEREWOLF!

Let's be honest, you watched it for the werewolf orgy scene.

This is now the thread theme.

 

[Giallo Corsa]

I watched "No One Will Save you"

It is about the girl from last man standing fighting aliens. meh made for streaming movie.

You know what ? Cinematography was nice as was the girl's acting, other than that though...it's a continuous and ridiculous jump scare fest for the 1st act , a boring 2nd one and...a kinda ridiculous 3rd one with the exposition thrown in.

A movie full with constant groans, screams and zero suspense and horror.
It didn't know whether it wanted to be a "normal" alien invasion movie or something "deeper", it's basically signs + interstellar+ a lil' bit of 2001 a space Odyssey.

I've seen worse but, in the end...

6/10 from me

Didnt know about the b&w Mist version. I love that movie

 

[Grildon Tundy]

I've been in that horror-movie mood. Recently, I've watched:

Constantine: I fell asleep watching this back in 2006, and never saw it to completion until last week. It's fantastic! Psyched about the news for a sequel

The Ninth Gate: I like neo-noir; I like horror. This one had way more of the former than the latter, but still a fun ride.

The Conjuring: Once shit (and people) start flying around the room, I lose interest, but that scene with the two girls in their bedroom where one is freaking out saying she sees something behind the door is AWESOME. Give me more of that, please. The best horror is the stuff you can relate to, and that scene was grounded in experiences I think most people have had

The Empty Man: This is a 6 out of 10 movie that could've been edited into a 9. The bones are there; the horror is solid; the storyline is unique, but it just feels messy and overlong

---------------------------------------

Anybody got any hidden gems out there with "grounded" horror combined with Christian/satanic mythology? Some of my favorites in that vein are: Hereditary, Paranormal Activity, The Blackcoat's Daughter, The Exorcist, Starry Eyes...

 

[analog_future]

It’s great. Gives the whole film a Twilight Zone feel. And the CGI holds up a lot better in b&w.

It’s my preferred version of the film.

 

[German Hops]

My go to is The Ring / Ringu.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

I have 3 questions for you horror freaks.

1. Does The Thing still hold up?

2. What's consensus best "modern horror" movie? Any horror movies released in the last 10 years that will be considered classics?

3. Do you have any "feel good / PG13 / Holiday vibe" movie recs? IE Nightmare Before Christmas, Krampus, Trick or Treat (but not those, I've seen those)

 

[Robot Carnival]

the news?

the original Japanese The Grudge had always been the one that gets my goosebumps going.

1. Fuck yes. Only part that has aged is the stop motion monster at the end of the film.

2. Barbarian for me.

3. Hocus Pocus. The OG is entertaining as hell. The Monster Squad is a classic too.

 

[fart town usa]

My go to is The Ring / Ringu.

I love the intro of the first movie. Dark shot of the ocean kicking around. Ominous music.

I have this book call J-Horror, basically goes over the cultural/historical/folklore aspects and helps a Westerner understand the themes of the Ring and a bunch of other classic J-Horror films.

 

[fart town usa]

Sweet Home.

The movie for the basis of Capcom's Famicom game of the same name that inspired Resident Evil.

Awesome movie, great practical effects, has a Spielberg/Poltergeist vibe. Director hates it though and I don't think it's ever been released on DVD.

 

[SiteSeer]

classics like rosemarys baby, the shining, the fly, exorcist, etc.

Watch the Wailing. It's not Christian cause it's Korean but it does involve a Catholic priest. It's so damn good, really can't recommend it enough.

Watched it already, and it was great!

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Scream VI: Really entertaining, fun, and surprising. But probably way worse on a rewatch because I doubt the plot holds up at all after you know who Ghostface is

I have both Evil Within games on Steam. So might play those too

 

[WhatDidHeSay?]

Did any of you guys catch The Borderlands? I think it also had another name...The Final Prayer! I really enjoyed it. Not sure if I'd recommended on here...

Edit: Ooh - Also! I enjoyed Grave Encounters.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

So much better than the first movie.

 

[clarky]

I have 3 questions for you horror freaks.

1. Does The Thing still hold up?

Still watch it regularly. Quite possibly the greatest movie of all time.

 

[Giallo Corsa]

Tonight I'm gonna watch "Talk to me", hope it's not a steaming pile of shite like No one can save you was, wish me luck...
