This might be interesting to the horror thread, Stephen Thrower of Coil and author of the Eyeball zine and other books on horror talking about Clive barker.

amazon prime sucks for transfers of older stuff but they are the absolute best thing to happen to modern horror because anyone can upload any piece of shit they made on their camera in a week for $20 with their friends and i can see it. god that sounds like i'm being sarcastic but i'm not. it of course means i have a hell of a lot of absolute shit to wade through but that's part of the fun for me.

also if i gave the impression Creep 2 sucks, it doesn't. i think if you enjoyed the first one you will enjoy the second, just not as much.


That's cool re: newer low budget stuff. Amazon is so unpredictable. I watched Society, same opening watermark as Curtains, yet Society was in HD. And awesome too, like 90210 mixed with Videodrome. The "shunting" scene almost made a friend throw up. 80's was the best decade for blunt force satires.

I'm gonna have to check out the sequel to Creep, even if its a stinker. The original is a favorite.


pretty sure i have good copies of both Messiah of Evil and Curtains i can throw in the db later


That would be awesome, I'd really appreciate it (although I don't know if I have privilege to access the dropbox yet, do I need more posts?)

p.s. Does anyone have Filmstruck? They just uploaded 11 Mario Bava movies. So far watched Kill Baby...Kill! and Bay of Blood, both great. They looked beautiful too. Italian horror has been such a slow learning curve for me, but this seems to be the year it's finally clicking.

The ending of Whistle and I'll Come to You (1968) is horrifying.

Oct. 25 - THE WITCHING (1993)
Image
A family finds that the refrigerator in their kitchen is a gateway to Hell, and they must battle a witch.

One of the worst things I've ever watched. Ugly, annoying, and extremely unfunny. F-

Oct. 27 - EFFECTS (1980)

Image
Image
Image

Some crew members of a company shooting a horror film begin to suspect that the "killings" in the movie are real, and that they are actually making a "snuff" film.

Has a very loose, almost behind the scenes feel to the first half which details the making of a nondescript horror movie. Large chunks of runtime dedicated to just showing "scenes" from the movie and all the setup, angles, effects prep and whatnot. It's boring but also kind of calming. Then the snuff stuff starts and this begins to lose me by introducing a plot and it also gets rather unpleasant. D

Re: horror/spooky podcasts, I checked out NoSleep and was pretty underwhelmed. Enjoyed the recent Spooked podcast and always love Astonishing Legends. Any reccs?

Eaten Alive - I had never seen this (I had heard it tho, I have a tape of the movie's audio). Was a lot better than I expected.

78/52 - Interesting documentary about the shower scene in Psycho. Some of the people interviewed were great, some were annoying, like Elijah Wood and his friends.

Tag - I like Sion Sono. He's not afraid to try and do something even if it might not fully work or make any logical sense. He's like a second tier Miike which is not a bad place to be.

Our Evil - Brazillian movie about a guy who hires an assassin off the deep web. It was a tough watch at times but i thought it was very good.

Game of Death - Kind of stupid movie about a bunch of kids who play a boardgame that makes you kill people. Fun at times. I didn't walk out.

Victor Crowley - I'm not a fan of the Hatchet franchise. I walked out after about half the movie.

Event Horizon
- I really like this movie. It's not...very good? But I like it. Nice to see it on 35mm.

Oct 28 - DOMINION (1992)

Image
Image

The pint-sized leader of a group of vampires plans a rock concert to revive his dark master.

One of 46 films directed by Todd Sheets and I don't think I'll be looking into the other 45. F

Oct 30 - NIGHT OF THE DEVILS (1972)

Image
Image

A man in an insane asylum recalls the horror that brought him there: his days spent with a family in the woods who live in fear of a witch's curse.

Some fun skull deflating in the Italian woods. It's fairly uneventful but still engaging and of course some weird shit happens every now and then. Nothing to big to take away from it though, other than the lovely Giorgio Gaslini soundtrack. C+

I haven't seen much Todd Sheets but Goblin was some kinda fun after a few beers. i thought The Witching was alittle bit more fun than you did, but solely because it was fun to mock. though not technically a Sheet film?

I'm sure they're probably good moments spread throughout the Sheets filmography if its that massive, but I was just not having any fun at all with Dominion.
I almost wanted to say that it was hard to be *that* angry with The Witching because it was such a harmless, tiny, low-budget feature (even by homemade SOV standards) but the unending reference based humor was really not sitting well with me at the time.
I think the main thing to take away from all this is the ratings don't matter at all and I'm not really sure why I do them in the first place.

leatherface - they should have shelved it forever

shadow of the vampire - what a waste of an interesting premise. everyone seemed bored out of their minds. was it even supposed to be a comedy? it didn't look like it but dafoe kept making these stupid faces

spontaneous combustion - rewatch. love the first half and brad dourif is the goddamn best

having trouble with a movie name, takes place in the 40's out in small village, one son goes off to war and the younger brother experiences horrifying things in the village, like a cat gets tortured, a boy disappears and is found in a barrel of water maybe?

Oh, I remember some scary leather wearing jacket dudes speed into town in their old black car sort of sinisterly scoping things out

anyway it was slow but freaking dark

1922 was good. I hope Netflix just keeps doing these small King adaptations, they're two for two. Really impressed with Thomas Jane's performance.

OCT 31 - NIGHT OF TERROR aka ESCAPE FROM THE INSANE ASYLUM (1986)

Image
Image
Image
Image

A man attempts to gaslight his wife and lock her in an asylum in order to get her money. He plans to use this money to further his research into brain surgery experiments.
This thing's a total snooze and pretty hard to follow. Giving it a tiny bit of credit for the music performance and it's splicing in of footage from other horror movies without any justification. F+

big fan of that

i loved in Doom Asylum when they put in alarmingly long clips from old todd slaughter movies in a blatant attempt to lengthen the running time

i should rewatch doom asylum. i agree with this youtube clip that tina and the tots are the best fake movie band ever
