J.T. Posted September 6, 2022 Author Share Posted September 6, 2022 (edited) Nix, the new folk horror joint from the director of Sharknado (yeah, I know), now has a hard release date of September 27th. I have to say that this shit looks pretty good. Edited September 6, 2022 by J.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Old Man This isn't Horror. It is billed as thriller. However, it is Stephen Lang doing Stephen Lang things so it is most appropriate here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted September 8, 2022 Author Share Posted September 8, 2022 Well, fuck. Barbarian is 93% on RT while House of Darkness is at 59%. Looks like Barbarian is the way to go this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Execproducer Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I don't recall if it was ever discussed in here or the doc thread but there is a 2021 doc available on Prime called Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched: A History of Folk Horror and it is fantastic. It properly starts off with British cinema's Unholy Trinity, Witchfinder General, The Blood on Satan's Claw, and The Wicker Man , and then delves into the literary origins of British folk horror and its impact on cinema and television, including children's shows. It then jumps over to the U.S. to discuss its parallel but distinct development of the genre. From there it begins a world tour that starts in Central and South America, jumps to Australia, New Zealand, Eastern Europe, and Asia. Even with a three hour and twelve minute running time it feels like it barely scratches the surface. But what a scratch! A ton of film clips. An army of talking heads filmed for this doc as well as archival interviews touching on a range of topics, from back-to-the-land movements, the 60's and 70's fascination with mysticism & the occult, real-life cults , Nazism, the genre as a reaction to the feminist movement, and on and on. A must watch for any fans of folk horror. Prepare to make a long list of films and books to add to your pile. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Nope, that was a discussion in the Collectors thread as it was a part of an enormous Severin box set: All the Haunts Be Ours: A Compendium of Folk Horror [Blu-ray Box Set] – Severin Films You might want to look into that if you wanna watch some of those movies. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kier-La Janisse, who directed the documentary and curated the All These Haunts Be Ours folk horror set, is going to be there to present it. It's part of the 10 year anniversary of the release of her book, House of Psychotic Women. It's the only one I'm able to make, but the theatre is also screening Identikit, I Like Bats, Ms. 45, Morvern Callar, and Der Fan as part of the program that week. If you liked the doc, I would highly recommend picking up the set from Severin films, Shudder also has a few from the set as well Edited September 9, 2022 by elizium 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted September 9, 2022 Author Share Posted September 9, 2022 Deadstream Director: Joseph Winter, Vanessa Winter Writer: Vanessa Winter, Joseph Winter Stars: Joseph Winter, Melanie Stone, Jason K. Wixom Heard pretty good things about this horror comedy. Seems like a lot of movies are getting snatched up by streaming services like Shudder rather than see traditional theatrical releases. The genie is now out of the bottle thanks to COVID and can never be put back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streaming makes it easier for us to catch the horror movies that would otherwise fly under our radar, especially foreign films like Saloum. TBH, I would rather that horror movies debut on streaming services like Shudder or ScreamBox rather than the usual limited release during the "scary movie dump months" from January to March. It would be nice if Criterion Channel did not hog the lion's share of early 90's classic J-Horror, though. It is one of the only places where I can still see House.

RIPPA Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I had to put this here Quote Although Beard figured people might be surprised — and maybe even frightened — by her daughter’s doll, the last thing she expected was for strangers to swoon over it. As they ate breakfast at the Grand Floridian Cafe, the pastry chef — who is apparently a Halloween enthusiast — made Briar a special spooky cupcake and a chocolate placard for the Haunted Mansion. “She was just gushing,” Beard said of the pastry chef. “We were blown away.” After breakfast, they went to the Haunted Mansion — a popular attraction at the Magic Kingdom park — where tourists and staff “just lost their minds over her,” Beard said, adding that they were also invited to go backstage to explore the “secret” servants’ quarters. Briar “was just beaming.” After their time at Disney World, Beard shared her daughter’s unusual doll on Facebook, thinking friends and family might get a kick out of it. “This is what it looks like when you take your 3 year old to the Spirit Halloween store and she absolutely insists on buying the creepiest baby doll you’ve ever set eyes on,” she wrote in a post, before detailing their day at Disney. “Creepy Chloe might be stealing my soul while I sleep, but we are making the best of our time left over here!” she continued. Again, to Beard’s amazement, people were charmed by the terrifying toy. Her post — which featured several pictures of Briar with her beloved doll — was shared more than 13,000 times. Given the reaction, Beard created an Instagram account to showcase Briar and Creepy Chloe’s continued adventures. Now I should note that Spirit Halloween sent the family a second doll because they didn't want Chloe to be alone so when the portal to hell opens, y'all know who to blame 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Execproducer Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Goddamnitt!!! I've been to the Haunted Mansion like 500 times and no one ever invited me to the "secret" servant's quarters! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 (edited) It's probably a filthy breakroom with a barely functioning sink and fridge and several tables covered in full ashtrays and empty energy drink cans. They let them smoke indoors because, ya know, can't let the customers see it. Edited September 12, 2022 by Curt McGirt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
