J.T. Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 (edited) Went to see The Nun 2 with my aunt last evening. It has about the usual amount of ONLY THE CATHOLICS CAN SAVE THE UNIVERSE FROM SATAN~! stuff you'd expect from a tale set in the Conjurverse, but we can't really blame this franchise for that since it has been around since The Exorcist and earlier. I wish I could remember not to watch these things and donate my money to the upkeep of the Warren family estate. The premise is a bit silly but Valak is a genuinely terrifying horror icon and that will make you forgive a lot. There are worse horror movies that you will watch this year. October is right around the corner. Edited September 14, 2023 by J.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted September 14, 2023 Author Share Posted September 14, 2023 Goosebumps This is a reimagining of the 95 show but it has some ties to the 2015 Jack Black version as the director of that movie (Rob Letterman) is serving as creator and EP on this series 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 So October tends to be where I do most of my horror watching for the year series/movie wise. Planning to catch Evil Dead Rise and probably M3gan. Anyone have any suggestions for stuff from the past ten years or so? I use Netflix, Peacock, Paramount, Disney, Prime, & Hulu mainly. Prefer stuff that isn't super bleak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prefer stuff that isn't super bleak. My short list for October viewing includes Cobweb, Bones and All (a perfectly fine teenage love story... with cannibalism thrown in for good measure), Incantation (currently on Netflix!), and We're All Going to the World's Fair, but definitely check out Barbarian, Hide & Seek, Talk To Me and Evil Dead Rise if you haven't already. Those movies would be in my Top 10 list of the 2020's so far. We're All Going to the World's Fair is kinda bleak, so you might exclude that from your list of potentials.

(BP) Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 One of my favorites from the last decade is Karyn Kusama’s The Invitation (2015, not the more recent movie of the same name.) It’s creepy and deals with some heavy subject matter, but I wouldn’t go so far as to call it bleak. It’s on Tubi and Pluto. I like the new Screams quite a bit too. I’m sure they’re both on Paramount. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I got Evil Dead Rise, Organ Trail, In Fabric and Sound of Violence on deck. (Older ones abound) Haven't seen any of them but they're supposed to be quality far as I know. Barbarian is a good one for sure, check that out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I also enjoyed Terrifier 2 but YMMV wildly on that one. Hell, I found a Facebook Memory the other day from when I saw the first one and I didn't like it! Don't think I've ever seen a sequel I liked where I didn't like the original.

J.T. Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 (edited) Not a fan of Terrifier 1 & 2 because I think that the movies try too hard to push Art the Clown as a horror icon. Lauren LaVera's final girl in Terrifier 2, Sienna Shaw, is pretty awesome though. Art the Clown's antics in Terrifier 2 are a lot more bearable because Sienna Shaw is such a great foil for him. The other movie in the Art the Clown universe aka the anthology, All Hallow's Eve, is pretty good. Edited September 17, 2023 by J.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 One of our local PBS stations (we have three that show up on Dish for some reason) has a Nightmare Theater with its own horror hosts, including a guy wearing a Dr. Wagner mask called El Sapo. I discovered this a couple weeks ago when they were supposed to be showing The Brain That Wouldn't Die but it ended up being Horror Express, which bit into my watching of All In. Anyway, they've got The Werewolf of Washington with Dean Stockwell on right now. There's a scene where a little-person mad scientist with a Frankenstein monster is in the basement of the White House; Dean as a werewolf gets down on all fours and sniffs his ass. It's good that a classic American tradition is continuing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I watched Scream 6 (2023). It felt like, the people created this film, they decided that the only people who would ever watch it were people who were deeply invested in every movie in the franchise and knew all of the Scream lore. Whereas I saw the previous, non-numbered sequeboot from 2022 less than a year ago and remembered very little of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 I put the Carpenter news in TV because it looks like a show that could go on some channel like the ID network or one of those other stations with half their broadcasting being what South Park called "murder porn". The Pet Sematary show isn't gonna have Mainer accents, is it? Booooooooooo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eivion Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) Started my Halloween horror watching a bit early with Evil Dead Rise on the weekend. Was always planning to check that one out with my older brother so I had the take the chance on timing whenever I could (only just got him to watch Knives Outs a couple of weeks back). Ended up digging it quite bit. Was much happier with it than I was the remake from a decade ago. Always felt that one was missing some dark humor. Thinking I will watch Renfield and the Pope's Exorcist in the next 6 weeks or so as well. Also every time I see the trailer for the new season of AHS it makes me want to rewatch Scream Queens.

Curt McGirt Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) Is The Pope's Exorcist anywhere near... well, anything? I have no interest in exorcist movies but Crowe is an interesting actor to slot in there and the movie for some reason was on sale at Meijer on DVD (?!) which makes me think "well it made some money at least". (Incidentally, I was looking for Prey, and no dice. It may have been sold out because there was an empty spot in the Ps. I turned around and on the opposite shelf were some SICK movie/horror action figures: Aliens, Predator 1 and 2, even Friday 7! At 35 dollars a pop though, I figured I'd leave them to the experts out there, like some of you kind folks on here.)

driver Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Curt, it's worth watching it just to hear Crowe speak Italian. I liked the movie and he was pretty good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elizium Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) Bought Psycho Girls (1986) and it has this amazing disclaimer at the beginning. Too hot for America. It's a really fun movie, starts off as a Halloween knockoff, with a young girl killing her parents and being sent to an institution, 15 years later she escapes. From there it goes off in it's own direction, she kidnaps a bunch of people, takes them to another abandoned institution and, along with two other former inmates, starts killing them. They set up little playacting scenarios, like one guy pretending to be an old timey barber, when killing them. The whole thing is an ode to Freud, who they have an alter dedicated to and seemingly worship. It is goofy and gory, with a narrator putting on a hardboiled pulp detective voice. Fun little twist ending as well. Edited September 19, 2023 by elizium 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
