I was surprised to find out recently that a lot of people don't like Event Horizon,

The Re-animator films always made me smile.

The later dumb Friday the 13th films also have a place in my twisted heart

I think a lot of the hate for Event Horizon comes from the fact that the movie was cut down so much so there was a lot of missing scenes to tie things together. I enjoy it.

Day 4: Unpopular opinion. What spooky movie do you love but the majority of people around think is trash?

Society is the film I'd go for. My girlfriend at the time hated it. But it seems to be regarded as a classic now. Still don't know many who have seen it.

I remember watching it late at night on TV as a kid. I think they shot one scene in New York and that's it lol.

Yeah, I think someone noted some deleted scenes and inserted them in certain places to make it more in line with what the original cut would have been but a lot of it is just gone forever.

I know a lot of people dismiss Creep as low-budget or boring and predictable, but I think it’s one of the most effective exercises in psychological horror of the past… ooof….decade? There are never enough “new” horror concepts and this one really opens the door to interpretive horror.

With only three actors (one being the director) it’s also ENTIRELY improvised.

It’s uncomfortable, it makes you feel shifty, you don’t really know how to feel whilst watching it. If you’ve seen it you’ll know that rather than relying on jump scares or gore, Creep builds its tension through entirely silent scenes, no music, strange body language, and the awkward normalcy of conversation with strangers.

It’s fucking incredible.

The series however, did fall short.

Oh man, both these movies are fantastic. And for me, the series started out fantastic. It lost me a little at the end of s1 when it started to build lore and history into it. Part of what I loved was there wasn’t any rhyme or reason, he was just a freaky monster.

But I’ll be watching s2 anyway.

Also I have spent many weekends at the lake in this movie. It used to creep me out to walk by the bench

This one may be a hard one. Try to think of a spooky "guilty pleasure" movie, only you can love.

Does it count as a second movie if it’s in a different forum . I don’t know what to say about this movie, I find it deeply unsettling and oddly compelling at the same time. I’m fascinated that it exists. But I don’t know how or why it does. It is sorta talked about in critical circles but I think most people would not exactly enjoy it. Anyway. I can’t not think about it.

If you like it, I’ll take all the credit. If you hate it, I warned you!

Spirit Trap got a whopping 20% on rotten tomatoes. I just really like Billie Piper

Kicking it off with something near and dear to our hearts. 🕷

Day 1: Your favorite spooky television show or miniseries and why.

I am going with favorite miniseries here for this one. Tobe Hooper's 1979 take on my favorite Steven King novel, 'Salem's Lot. Hooper does a lot here within the constraints of broadcast tv, and it has some incredibly effective scenes because of it, this one probably the most famous.

But I also love the changes they made to the main villain, Barlow. In the novel, which is a homage to classic vampire stories, Barlow is a distinguished looking human. In the film, they take him back to a non-verbal, Nosferatu-inspired look, and gave all of his dialog to his thrall, Richard Straker as played by James Mason. It makes for a very effective change.

I watched Return of the Living Dead Necropolis and Rave to the Grave.

I feel like Necropolis is just a motobike movie with zombies in it. It wasn't good but it was just a bunch of random ideas all thrown into one movie. So many unnecessary characters and events that served no purpose that it's almost fascinating lol.

 

[UnquietDreams]

Have you seen the show? It's pretty good.

I loved The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. I was so pissed they didn't pick up the second season. Hell, all the sets and puppets were already made. Hup!

 

[UnquietDreams]

Day 2: If you could cast yourself in a remake of your favorite spooky movie, who would you be and why?

I'm really excited to hear everyone's answers.

I would love to play Lucifer in The Prophecy. Viggo Mortensen did such a good job, and it is such an amazing, but supporting role.

And to play against Walken's Gabriel? Glorious.

Day 4: Unpopular opinion. What spooky movie do you love but the majority of people around think is trash?

This one may be a hard one. Try to think of a spooky "guilty pleasure" movie, only you can love.

Howling II: Your Sister Is a Werewolf. A film so bad that Sir Christopher Lee apologised for being in it. However, it is tremendously silly fun, has a lot of unintentional laughs and does have an end credits that repeats the shot of Sybil Danning's bare breasts 17 times.

Day 4: Unpopular opinion. What spooky movie do you love but the majority of people around think is trash?

I don't know how spooky this is, or how many people think it's trash. But it's definitely in the "so bad it's good" category. My wife hates it, and that's enough for me.

Day 3: M.I.L.F. (Monster I'd Like to Fuck)
Who is the sexiest spooky character from a movie?

I remember watching this and falling in love with Gary Oldman. There was no love for Keanu at that time. And I’ll thank you to not ask when that time was


Gary Oldman as Bram Stoker’s Dracula

Day 3: M.I.L.F. (Monster I'd Like to Fuck)
Who is the sexiest spooky character from a movie?

I'm really curious about everyone's tastes.

Let's talk about Blade II.

I love the original, and the sequel is almost as good. Like most sequels, it took parts of the original and rachet them up and beyond. Tougher vampires, more enemies, greater scope. Stephen Norrington is a great director, but Guillermo del Toro is just on a different level, in so many ways, and one of my favorite directors. Now, I am not saying it is a perfect film at all. There are some balls that definitely got dropped. I think the "Whistler, former vampire" story could have been done better (in the 1998 Blade, in the original script, the epilogue in Russia was different. Rather than fighting a random vamp, Blade puts down two vampires, then watches as a vamped Whistler steps out of the shadow, lights a cigarette, and says "well, this is going to get interesting." Splash to credits). And the part that pains me most, Donny Yen, one of the most creative, charismatic martial artists of his generation, is utterly wasted. A few other things. But what they go right, they got really right.

Which brings up my favorite part of the film, and the answer to the question.

Introduced fighting Blade to a draw, Nyssa Damaskinos. Beautiful, deadly, elegant, cultured, honorable -- unapologetically a pureblood vampire and a monster, but nobody is perfect. And in the end she helps save the world, but doing so is infected with a disease that will change her into what she fought. So she choses to die on her own terms, watching the sun rise for the first time.

Okay, fine, less "I want to fuck her" and more long running crush...

Day 4: Unpopular opinion. What spooky movie do you love but the majority of people around think is trash?

This received mostly unfavorable reviews, but it was a box office success. I haven't watched it for 20+ years, so I'm not sure if it has "held up" but... I really liked it when it came out. I was the target audience. It may have rode that Wes Craven "mask" movie's coattails a bit, but I think it held its own. This may or may not be a unpopular opinion. Not completely sure.



Oh! And there are no  likeable characters. If the cast of It's Always Sunny was in a horror movie, it would be...

Yeah and then all the deleted stuff got destroyed when those salt mines flooded. Apparently there was like an hr of the blood orgy stuff

Since it wasn’t posted here and was what came to mind…Halloween III: Season of the Witch



I liked the idea that this was meant to be a Halloween movie series. Each year a different story! But when it came out everyone was pissed that Michael wasn’t there. I’ve always wondered what other movies would’ve come from it if it didn’t just go back to focus on Michael Myers.
