Lyle's Everything Halloween Thread

[El Kabong]

Depends though, do u want horror or torture porn. Good horror doesn't need a lot of blood and gore to be good horror. The conjuring was a good example. I watched the Blair witch not long ago, that was very well done and started the found footage genre or mad it big anyway.

There's a tight rope that has to be walked with horror and Jaws is a great example, the dumb animatronic shark didn't work well so we didn't see a lot of it and when you become desensitized to it and once that happens the magic/thrill/fright of the monster is gone.

The Conjuring I do not believe I've seen, Blair Witch is super annoying but I get the charm of it. The Legend of Hell House, The Haunting, Paranormal Activity....movies which use the human brain as their means to scare movie goers hold a dear place to me.



However, sometimes things go awry in doing that....The Babadook....holy fuck what a horrible movie. The use of angles to make people feel uneasy is just painful....STRAIGHTEN A FUCKING PICTURE WHY DON'T YOU?!?!?!

Yup saw that one. Absolutely horrible . I watched one recently, I think it was called willow creek. It's a young couple going in the woods looking for evidence of Bigfoot. Normally I'm not into Bigfoot things but they did this movie well. Some of the more intense scenes are of the couple in their tent with noises etc. coming from the darkened night. Very low budget but worth a look

I just thought I'd pop over to my gran's house.

Fair play to her, she is 96 years old but she had made such an effort. I looked through her window and there was cobwebs and spiders everywhere, and a skeleton on the couch.

there was no answer when I knocked .... I'll nip back next year

Giving this a BOOOOO Bump because we're in that special time of year where it's time to really honestly and truly celebrate a holiday that America has made great....Halloween. Get drunk, see women dressed sluttier than normal, and have a listen to any songs that relate to this time of year...Monster Mash, Spooky, I'm Your Boogie Man, I Put A Spell on You, Witchy Woman, That Old Black Magic, Black Magic Woman, Strange Brew, Voodoo Chile, Superstition, Thriller, etc.

And of course it's the PERFECT time to get your Netflix queue in order and start running down all the GREAT (and awful) horror movies available to you.

The most pointless fucking "holiday" of the year, I wanna watch a horror film, I'll watch one, I don't give two short sharp shiny shits if it's Halloween or easter Sunday

See girls dressed slutty, I'm from Birmingham, if I see a brummy bird dressed slutty 99% of the time it's vomit inducing

Listen to songs that relate to that time of year? The monster fucking mash? Jesus fucking Christ man.

Congratulations America on mainstreaming the ultimate steaming heap of shite known as Halloween.

Maybe if it wasn't as ridiculously commercialised it wouldn't bother me as much...actually it would, it's the fact that the English have Americanised it tso much.

Fuck England
fuck America
fuck Halloween
fuck the lot of ya

Well that was quite the rant...I must have been having a particularly bad day.

And I stand by every word

well isn't that special

I've just found out that Jehovah's Witnesses don't celebrate Halloween ..... ironically, they don't appreciate random strangers coming up to their doors.

Yes I would love some Netflix horror recommendations

So many bad one I can't watch more than five minutes of. They did make Gerald's game which is one of my favorite king books. Saw badabok which was good. They do have the shining. But what else

Take a look at 'It Follows' that's on Netflix I think, its pretty flawed but still one one of if not the best horrors of the last few years

The Shining is great, Babadook sucked (straighten a fucking picture for fucks sakes!)

'Tucker & Dale vs Evil' not so much scary as it is hilarious...great movie though.

'The Wraith' starring a pre HIV Charlie Sheen....more of a MST3K kind of movie. Easy to make fun of.

The original Mystery Science Theater 3000 has some good ones available.

'New Nightmare' one of the later Freddy Kruger movies

'Young Frankenstein' fuckin classic

'Legend of Hell House' classic, more cerebral than jump scare oriented

'Odd Thomas' & 'John Dies At the End' kind of meh ok movies, I read the book 'John Dies at the End' soooo yeah, decent flicks.

I thought it follows was excellent

I knew you were a tory!

If I could think of something funny like Theresa May has called a snap Halloween with Boris being burnt on the fire where they have to remove his fat ass body then I would.

[Master]

That is a bit better but you have a long way to go to get in my good books.

Charlie Browns Great Pumpkin was on the other night. Cannot watch that without turning into a 5 yr old again
