Lyle's Everything Halloween Thread

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.

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 well

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

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.

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