Thank you for Lauren Southern Canada....really couldn't give you enough props for her
Also anyone with any Halloween must sees/hears/do's?
Haunted Houses? Great movies or specials, The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror is always a great one!!! Hayrides? Anyone making any special Halloween treats?
A friend of mine is going to a Zombie Shoot which is basically a hayride where there are people dressed as zombies and those who are riding in on the hayride get paintball guns and shoot the people dressed as zombies.
I was kinda hoping she'd demonstrate her newborn costume.
Well there's always next yearQuote:

They have made the costumes themselves.
Me and the missus watched the first two Elm Street movies last night. I hadn't seen them since I was a boy. Not as scary now obviously haha
But the second one was extremely gay. I'm not a homophobe whatsoever, but the main character was so flamboyantly gay! I found it odd, as I know the mid 80s were a lot more homophobic than now a days.
The main kid screamed and we both looked at each other and asked "was that a man or a woman screaming?"
Then of course there was this...

Yeah the lead actor was gay and considers himself one of the first "Scream Queens". He's HIV positive as well, shocking I know. I recently watched a documentary on Nightmare on Elm Street which went over each of the movies.Quote:

He literally stopped making out with his girlfriend to go sleep in the same room as his male friend, and his male friend is even like "ummm why are you here and not with your GF" hahaha. It really seemed the main purpose of the movie was to be very gay.Quote:

Has a young Star Wars characters at my door last night then some teens who didn't even bother putting on costumes. That was it but more than the past two years.
Sad that the tradition is dying or it could be your neighbourhood.Quote:

But with that being the case, I mean in the 1980's people were still of the belief that Elton John, Freddy Mercury, Rob Halford, et al were straight so now'a'days the gayness of that movie is really just wide open and out front but in the 1980's I guess that passed for "subtle".Quote:

It was an interesting take on the movie to say the least.
You are well versed in homosexuality, I'm impressed.Quote:

I make a point to try and understand cultures other than my own. Also having seen Nightmare on Elm Street 2 several times I asked a lot of the same questions vidgil asked about the movie and upon seeing Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy (Video 2010) - IMDb as well as Nightmares in Red, White and Blue: The Evolution of the American Horror Film (2009) - IMDb a lot of those questions were answered from those documentaries.Quote:

Jesse gives the news about his being HIV positive....Freddy is distraught, he's holding his Fedora in his hands..."Gee Jesse, I'm sorry to hear that....really puts a lot of things in perspective"
But that would just be my take on it....and of course afterwards Freddy would of course "Wear the ribbon!"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iV8X8ubGCc
Yes... or perhaps Freddy started the HIV scare? Maybe it's something he brought back from hell. Very plausible.
Indeed, he could be waving those finger knives around and telling people "You might wanna get tested! You don't know where I've been!"Quote:

Room 237 is the one on Kubrick and The Shining and it is very interesting.....I don't buy the whole fake moon landing angle but loads of other things discussed in the documentary were neat: the Holocaust, the American Indians, the constant quest of man to conquer new things be it lands or people, subliminal advertising, etcQuote:

I think I enjoy 80s horror movies the best, back before CGI when props and make up experts created tangible effects in front of the camera. It feels so much better. David Croenenberg and John Carpenter made a lot of my favorites. The Shining and The Thing maybe my #1 and 2.
Yeah CGI sucks, nobody uses it responsibly anymore people just go balls out and use it for everything. Real honest and true special effects are the gold standard. Couldn't do the Scanners head explosion correctly without using models and casts and lots of fake blood. Re-Animator was a good one too for special effects.Quote:

CGI has opened a lot of possibilities for movies but IMO doesn't belong in horror.
It's only good for action movies really....maybe SOME scifi, but look at 2001 A Space Odyssey and the original Star Wars trilogy, they were great because they used models and paid very close attention to detail.Quote:

Yes it was very well done, and made so much money on a almost non-existant budget! Shows what you can do with some creativity! But Hollywood doesn't want creativity anymore it seems, they just want to remake stuff smh
I think anyone making a found footage film now should face a firing squad, they are so played out! But I did like a couple... [Rec] scares the shit out of me even today!
Yup rec is good and I hate to admit but I do enjoy a lot of the paranormal activity films some of them were well done but they butchered a few as wellQuote:

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

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
And I stand by every word
well isn't that specialQuote:

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 yearsQuote:

'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.
