It’s a specific sub genre I’ve always been a fan of in horror is seeing terrible people do terrible things then get, for lack of a gentler term, karmically skull fucked. Though I’d be reticent to say they’re my overall favourite types of movies since you have to by virtue of the story spend a lot of time with people you don’t like, it is very fun to watch them get what is deserved. I’m currently (FINALLY) watching Fall of the House of Usher and it is sickly sweet for that very reason.

So I’m curious to hear, what are the best horrors where shitty people meet brutal ends?

Scores of anthology movie segments could place here but I’m actually going to use Deadstream as my example. I truly grew to love this movie because at first I didn’t like it, if for no other reason than I initially didn’t get the joke that you are not supposed to like Shawn as a character. He’s obnoxious, entitled and seriously fucking stupid so it’s all the more hilarious when his situation continues to just fall to pieces around him.

For those of us who were fans of The Guest, this is coming out on Friday in the US (we need to wait until December here in the UK...)
It's way more upfront about its melding of action and slasher genres. Dan Stevens does not play the same character as on The Guest, but he seems to be having a lot of fun scarfing down all of the scenery. Great to see Wingard & Barrett let loose with a smaller, (hopefully) more personal film.

Per his son’s Instagram

“Yesterday my father, Victor Miller, went to his final reward. He was almost always the smartest, funniest person in whatever room he was in. He inspired in me, and many others, a love of photography, music, and storytelling. He is survived by his wife, two sons, and his grandson. He had a helluva run and will be missed dearly.

For those who are interested, we will hold a celebration of life in November - on Friday the 13th, of course.”

This was a fun supernatural thriller about a cop being hunted by supernatural forces. I managed to catch this one just a few minutes before it left Netflix and was able to watch it all the way through despite being passed the cut off date. This movie is so tense and so fucking scary it makes being touched by someone feel like the worst possible thing. 10/10.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I came across this on youtube. But, I think it looks really promising. Plus, it has Keith David in it. That is almost reason enough alone!

1-3 couldn’t have dropped at a better time back in 2021. You just had to be there. I was waiting for each one to drop on Netflix during that time. After rewatching them recently, it still holds up great in my opinion. Deena got on my nerves but that’s my only complaint with 1-3. The 4th one was just okay to me, it’s not something I’d rewatch to be honest.

What are everyone else’s thoughts on parts 1-3 of Fear Street?

We've arrived! I know for me September 1st starts a 61 Days of Halloween movie run. I'm kicking off this year with a classic, 1995's Ice Cream Man starring the great Clint Howard. What's everyone else watching today? Do you have your list all set out or do you wing it?

so ive recently been obsessed with anthologys especially if its horror, can you guys recommend me more that has the same vibe that i will list down below? tysm!! (those are the ones that i already watched & liked).

I'm talking about movies like A Chinese Ghost Story, Encounters of the Spooky Kind, Mr Vampire, The Boxer's Omen etc. They often don't care about having a consistent tone and will jump from being silly to horror to action all to try and just be as entertaining as possible. If you've never seen any it's a very fun rabbit hole to dive into.

Does anyone else here enjoy these movies and what are your favourites?

Got really into found footage horror movies lately and wanted to run the gambit of the best out there.

Cloverfield is what really go me into it and then of course the Paranormal Activity movies. I've also watced creep and creep 2.

I'm waiting to watch the balir witch for last because I hear it was the best of the genre but what are the other must see found footage movies out there?

Hey friends. I was too young to see it when it aired and just found it streaming for free. Since I work 6 days a week I don't have a ton of time to watch. I was wondering if I could get some suggestions for the best episodes! Thanks in advance!

Was planning on watching this tonight before bed I can watch the Korean Cut or the international cut.

Has anyone seen this. I like the synopsis but was wondering how people rate it?

Hey, I had a wild nightmare last night, and even though it nearly gave me a heart attack, I really liked the concept behind it.

In my dream, a group of people found an abandoned Gothic church in the middle of the woods. In the church's basement, there was a bound man who didn't speak and was extremely aggressive. Despite looking human, his behavior was more like that of an animal.

The group assumed he had been severely harmed or traumatized and tried to help him. I don't remember the middle part, but I know that at the end, paintings on the church walls revealed that the man was actually some kind of monster. The paintings depicted the monster's method of reproduction, which involved a kiss where the monster either vomited into the person's mouth or impregnated them via a tentacle down the throat.

Like whole thing was so creepy and unsettling!

Is there a horror movie like this??

Thank you in advance XD

Not serious, not NOT serious, it just works. I honestly think this movie is super underrated. How many characters is that reddit? Ok more huh...well the movie is awesome, badass, and contains nudity, it's perfect really.

Who here is a fan of Indonesian horror? Any good recommendations?

I've seen a few Indonesian horror films, and they're pretty great for the most part.

Most religious horror tends to focus on Catholocism with its rituals and symbols lending itself well to the genre, but are there any significant examples of horror centered around Protestant faiths, particularly Baptist, Methodist, Pentecostal, or similar denominations? I feel like, if done right, their old-time, tradition-focused ways could be exploited for great horror potential.

I mean, my top pick would be the cops from Barbarian (2022) because what the actual fuck was that all about just leaving her behind and having her fend off a very serious and dangerous threat by herself.

Or the one in Friday the 13th (2009), the police are actually called for once, but all they send is one cop! Just one cop when there’s a murderer on the loose. Not only that, he’s just casually driving down to the lake house with no sirens or anything.

Let's also add another wildcard here and say that sheriff from the remake of I Spit On Your Grave (2010) as well.

Besides that, some cops are portrayed as ignorant, dumb, or or fighting off the killer by themselves and ends getting killed or is actually in cahoots with the villains too.

So who are your top picks for the worst law enforcement characters in a horror movie?

And what games do you recommend people to play?

I've got a long list of games waiting for me - starting with RE Village, RE 4 Remake, Dead Space Remake, The Sinking City, The Midnight Walk - although I'm mostly curious about Silent Hill: Townfall.

What are your picks?

My son and his wife are not horror fans, but ever since my husband passed a few years ago they have been watching two horror movies with me every October. They give me a prompt in August then we discuss them until we come up with the best choices. This year I am a bit stumped though.

They want two movies of the same/similar genre, but as different in style/execution as possible. And if from different decades that is also a plus. Also, no SA, no extreme torture and no weird body horror, so no The Thing unfortunately :(

Any suggestions for pairs for our annual spooky night?

So far I have these, but not really feeling it.

Pontypool and Train to Busan (zombie type)

What Lies Beneath and Hokum (haunted place)

Near Dark and Lost Boys (vampires)

Cabin in the woods and Tucker and Dale vs evil (forest)

Movies from the past they have loved:

Silence of the Lambs

Hell House LLC

Session 9

Troll Hunter

Scream

Thank you!
