Is the murder set pieces blu ray worth the $35
>>220432821They always drop in price eventually
>>220432821Just pirate a BD-remux of it.
>>220432881I can see why people buy these, it's not like a better quality version is gonna come out so the resale value will be there
>>220432976I was surprised it got a BD release at all, same with the AU trilogy, especially since both directors have vanished.
>>220432747You know it's always moments like these that give the horror genre a bad rep but how is that any different from in Die Hard when that blonde guy conveniently just stands completely still while still aiming just so Bruce Willis can dash over safely to the door on the rooftop? He wasn't even reloading either. Die Hard is obviously a much better film but my point is that lots of action and horror movies have dumb moments like this because they're harder to write for convincingly than people realize yet only horror gets crucified for plot induced stupidity. 24 was also full of stupid shit because it was a gimmick TV series built around keeping up the suspense for a full hour for 24 episodes per season and they didn't even make it past the first season before it became repetitive and it lasted for 9 seasons. It actually takes talent to write good genre fiction.
>>220433031Palumbo is still active on Twitter I think
>>220433040idk it's a fine scene to me. other than he puts his left hand in the roof but in the next shot he's got his right one in. he coulda slipped down as his hand was going in.but I agree that horror is hard, because it's basically constant physical tension and that's hard to plan and shoot without the occasional contrivance slipping in.
>>220433084But he hasn't been involved with movies since MSP in 2004. Vogel also vanished and TTP dissolved. Only one that made it out was their SFX wizard, who's now successful in Hollywood doing costumes. Even Karim Hussain made it out of the underground, and he was WAY less known than Vogel and Palumbo. Now he's pretty successful in Hollywood.
>>220433143I can think of a very strong reason Palumbo in particular was never going to make it, and it's because he's always been more or less openly anti-semetic, lol. He's also just a sick and a shrimp, but the kike hatred is a big obstacle.
>>220433165Saying jews control Hollywood is like saying they control social media, banking, and the government. It's just antisemitic bullshit, they have no such control or power. If you continue to say they do, you'll be blacklisted from Hollywood, banned from social media, have your bank accounts frozen, and police sent to your house.

>>220436668>>220436683Why even ask?>I tried to think about Crystal Lake and a Friday the 13th prequel as, ‘What era did the first movie come out of?’ It came out of the paranoid ’70s thriller era,” Caleb Kane goes on to explain. “It came out of the mistrust-of-institutions era. It came out of the women’s lib era, the National Organization for Women era, this consciousness-raising awakening era in America. I wanted to go and play with all of those themes.
>>220437898So it's set in the 70s, not the 50s prior to Jason drowning in 1957?
>>220435207pretty tacky for both scream 2 and i know what you did last summer to use that track
>>220433040>only horror gets crucified for plot induced stupidity"Dumb action movies" definitely have a reputation too
If you haven't already, you should watch Demons. Watch the sequel as well.
>>220433117>idk it's a fine scene to me. other than he puts his left hand in the roof but in the next shot he's got his right one inJason's got a girl in a car with locked doors. He has a pitchfork. He can't get into the driver's side, so he goes to the opposite side and pitchforks the roof to awkwardly get at the lock with his hand from the top. He does this instead of pitchforking the girl directly on the side she's sitting on or even smashing through the window with the pitchfork. His folly allows the mouse to escape.

This is the week Fixbros. /ourgirl/'s new kino premieres at Cannes.
>>220432684The Franklin kill is the only proper chainsaw kill directly shown in the film. The brothers' tool of choice is the hammer, a preference shared by the both of them and established very early on. Blunt force trauma is simpler, more honest.Killing is one thing, dismemberment another. One wonders whether Sally fully registered the significance of the fresh body parts (arms, etc) rubbing against her arms and the rest of her: they are precisely those of her recently killed, dismembered friends. I vote yes, she did pick up on this and it was a large part of why she was flipping out so badly. We are focused on the sight and sound, but her sense of TOUCH is significant here. As Leatherface chases Sally, she autodefenestrates* out the BACK window and runs BACK to the gas station, a place we've been before. Sally is now in retrograde. She'll never get out by going backwards. The way out is forward, through. Onto the road in front of the house, where no one has been yet (although Pam and Kirk got close). A very amusing bit of good continuity: when they all get back to the house, Leatherface has very hurriedly hung a bit of "drapery" over the ruined second floor window, as part of his homemaker role and an attempt to cover over the damage. You can see it in one or two shots.*The two GOAT films (you know what the other one really is) feature autodefenestration. But now that I think about it, (auto)defenestration seems to have been especially an especially popular technique in the 1970s and thereabouts. Defenestration is used at the climax of the action film Die Hard (1980s), as the hero drops the villain to his death out the window.

American Horror Story is objectively a bad series and always has been. I don't know a single male that has ever had a good thing to say about it.
Can anyone help me remember the name of this flick?>main character is introverted artist girl who makes costumes or something, might have been performance art or something>she was more Daria-esque than full autism>one of her costumes looked like the Michelin Man>she meets a guy while playing pool with a friend, he's a normie basically>she thinks she's cheating on him or something and she castrates him>forget the restThere were no supernatural elements or anything
>>220444234I've said this before but one horror idea I want to see is about a serial killer who has an uncontrollable urge to see people fall from high places. Push over cliffs, overpasses, defenestrate from tall buildings etc. Basically full of scenes like the opening of cliffhanger. I'd end it with both the killer and a detective running towards a little girl in an under construction high rise, one to save her the other to suicide splat with her. And the detective rather than reaching the girl, ends up tackling the killer over the ledge instead, sacrificing himself and killing the killer in the manner he wanted to kill the girl. They fall in slow motion, and as they hit the ground there's no sound, the screen goes black and the credits play.
>>220432684Why are "modern" horror films so anti-climactic? I tried watching picrel the other night but nothing fucking happens. It feels exactly like the other "modern" slop ie. Conjuring, The Ring, Insidious, etc. At least in the 70's/80's you got some nice bloodshed in the first 5 minutes and practical effects instead of jump scares.
I just watched the Tales from the Crypt episode 'Easel Kill Ya.'I liked it.Thoughts?

What are your favorite /hor/ related youtube channels.

Usually has a theme for each video >New Castle After Darkbasically just a horror host movie channel where there are two hosts who introduce the movie and halfway in there is a intermission where they briefly discuss what has happened in the movie up until that point with some fun facts thrown in>The Horror Geektypical horror movie review channel. Features a lot of classics and lesser known schlock while taking a mildly humorous approach to the reviews. Pretty standard stuff. >Scream Stream Livetwo guys doing watchalongs of usually older, often public domain horror films. They primarily do triple features or sometimes double features so the videos are like 4 hours long. >Creature Featuresanother horror host channel where they show full length movies. Not nearly as good as New Castle After Dark but I still subscribe to them anyway even if I don't really watch their stuff that much>Todd E Walnuts guy who shows off horror movie dvds and blu rays>Monster Model Reviewreviews monster model kits>Hasanabisocialist lolcow who often gives terrifyingly bad political takes that will spook anyone with an IQ above 90>Zac Amico's Midnight Spookshowcomedians watch horror movies and say funny things>80's slashersguy who talks exclusively about 80's slashers.

>>220437898I just want it to show what Jason was getting into all of those years.

>>220439052seconded
>>220444234I grew up with a fear of things watching and/or jumping in through windows, thanks to sitting in our back living room of my dad's house when I was a kid watching TV. There were big glass doors leading out to the back patio, and it was about 9 or 10 at night. I started hearing the door latch to the door lightly but repeatedly turning, only to see some guy on the back patio trying to get in, but the door was locked. I yelled for my dad, and the guy took off. Never saw him again, and that was all that came of it, but it was a creepy experience. The end of Friday the 13th 2 where Jason jumps in through the window, Night of the Living Dead, and the various moments in Resident Evil games where zombies, dogs, and whatnot occasionally bust in through windows. I still use blackout curtains to this day, just because I hate the idea of someone looking in through the windows.
>>220447086Black guy?
>>2204470862 years ago somebody rang my doorbell after I got home around 11pm. I went to go see who tf would be doing so (I figured one of my neighbors, maybe there was an emergency) and nobody was there. 2 nights later at about 2 am I heard someone trying to open my front door. I grabbed a weapon and flashlight and waited just a minute in the dark on the stairs. It stopped. I went to the door, shone the flashlight outside. Went out and checked the backyard as well. Nobody around. Freaked me the fuck out. 2 years later and I still think about it and make sure my doors and windows are locked and some times I hear things outside and check, but I never saw anyone. About a week or so again someone rang my doorbell in the evening when it was still light outside and I immediately went to check. Nobody there. Paranoia can be good some times, but it isn't a good feeling.
>>220447086I myself autodefenestrated (myself) out of my first-floor window one evening, due to my evil psychotic ex-neighbor. In the process of hopping the neighbor's fence, I put a pretty good gash in my arm. I shall not elaborate further, except to say that the horror of defenestration has some personal significance for me, especially since it's clearly used as a device in the two greatest horror films.She had been having a days-long angry psychotic episode. Slamming her door, beating her children. A few hours earlier, I mentally resolved to just bug out if things got to a fever pitch, which of course they did. She and the baby daddy spilled out into the hallway, and a little kid is screaming. They shout right in front of my door. Then they get real quiet, and spooky. The little kid is shouting no, no. That is when I hopped out the window.
>>220447385Just the neighborhood kids. They call it "ding dong ditch"
>>220447404I'm having trouble picturing this scene. Your neighbors were arguing outside if your door, and your reaction was to get up and jump through a window?
>>220447404Why would you willingly hurl yourself out the window like that instead of doing literally anything else? You're as crazy as your neighbors lmao
>>220447494>that fucking kid is bouncing off the walls again I can't live like this anymore he's going to dive out the goddamn window again >babe you know we can't afford to movethey were arguing about him
>>220447086It's still out there anon, and feels indifferent about the blackout curtains.>>220447404If you had to go out the window, could you not have just opened it?
>>220447673He's retarded, please understand.
>>220447413Neighborhood kids don't do that at 11pm in the Winter. They also don't try to open a strangers front door in the middle of the night.
What we thinking about this one, analogbros?
>>220447404kek if I was at home I'd make an ms paint out of this. Just the thought of someone going I can't take a second more of this I'm out
>>220447385That's the thing, you can kinda imagine the fear of someone breaking in but the adrenaline of actually experiencing something like that will have you remembering to check the lock for the rest of your life
>>220444234That's how David Carradine went too
Why are so many episodes just "greedy woman gets what's coming to her"?Feels like half the episodes are about a gold digger or something like that getting punished for her greed.
>>220448580Revenge stories are pretty common in anthology horrors in general
>>220448580Stories adapted from comics written by men in the 50's.
>>220448580I'll have to look through some of the original comics from back in the day. Pretty sure the stories were like that.

>>220448580I mean the other half is men getting punished for their lust and greed
>>220448777I wonder if it's a fun retirement gig to sit around and be an extra like this
>>220445332None. Why would anyone watch that shit?
>>220448794>>220439052I got to go to a screening of it not too long ago where this actress showed up and introduced the movie, then did a Q&A and some general storytelling at the end. It was a fun experience and she was really cool.I went home that night and watched Rats: Night of Terror (1984) which she's also in
>>220439052>>220449462>>220448794>>220449462Just finished it. Bravo. Going to watch the sequel tomorrow. Superb film. >>220439052Why does the chick who fainted have a different experience than the others? This Japanese demon literally came out of her and gets away. Also, that black-haired Chad was one of the few times I ever see someone admit to getting scratched.

You're going to the theater to see the hot new horror flick you've been eagerly awaiting for months. What snacks are you getting/bringing?For me it's>medium popcorn with white cheddar salt>large cherry Pepsi>a single string cheese stick from home
>>220450561Nah. She might be untalented, but she's extremely beautiful.
>>220450572That shit is so expensive where I am I've started eating before I go. But otherwise... medium popcorn, sprite if they have it because I already consume enough caffeine.
>>220450602> she's extremely beautifulIf you think so, Anon, move to Texas. She is the average latina. I mean no hate, she just looks like women I see a hundred times a day.
>>220450602>>220450561I'm going the middle ground, she's decently talented and decently attractive.If Leone had cast a younger actress though it would have given her more legs.
>>220450572>gettingFuck paying $5 per kernel of popcorn. I always avoid the concession stand.>bringing?A flask filled with Wild Turkey 101. Strong enough to help me relax and just focus in on the movie, without filling my bladder and requiring a bathroom break partway through. When I'm seeing something in the theater, I really hate having to get up during the movie. If I really want a snack, sometimes I'll sneak in a bar of dark chocolate.
>>220446352God these movies are unbearably shit. Without the design of Art, absolutely no one would care.

>>220450818Lotta Brazilian women with incredible asses in my town, so I'll avoid moving to Texas and getting my dick shot off by a mentally ill incel called Rusty who's been fucking his grandma's corpse for the last 3 months, for now... maybe later though.

>>220449311I met Amanda Bearse about 15 years ago by chance and all I could think of saying was how much I loved her in Fright Night kek. I completely forgot she was in Married with Children and didn't mention it at all.
>>220450972Trust me, she didn't care.
>>220450912> I'll avoid moving to Texas and getting my dick shot off by a mentally ill incel called Rusty who's been fucking his grandma's corpse for the last 3 months, for now... Realistically, you're far more likely to run into trouble with an incel named Jesus Garcia or Angel Rodriguez, but if you can survive them, you'll have a thousand Lauren LaVeras at your beck and call.
>>220451037She was pretty friendly though and didn't make me feel retarded, so that was nice at least.
>>220451108She is an actress, after all.
>>220451166Yeah, and at least she put in the effort to not make me feel shitty or weird, unlike some other celebs I've met.
>>220451097Jesus Garcia and Angel Rodriguez get more pussy than you ever will ése
>>220451183>she put in the effort to not make me feel shitty or weirdWhy would she? You said you liked her performance in a movie, presumably after paying to stand in line to get her autograph. She's hardly going to scream, "I was in Married With Children you son of a bitch!"
>>220451231>presumably after paying to stand in line to get her autographActually I just happened to recognize her on the street when I was in Las Vegas. I didn't ask for an autograph or photo or anything since I didn't want to be one of those people.
>>220451204Ah, now your post makes sense.
>>220450447I downloaded all the seasons during the 2020 lockdowns and the intros and outros were all cut.
>>220450972I had a huge crush on her after seeing her in Fright Night. I was pretty young at the time. Married With Children absolutely killed it for me. My sex drive had moved on to Christina Applegate and all the Playboy bunnies and porn stars they had on the show.
>>220451316Not me, I only watched the first two seasons of that show and still found her scary hot (as she'd do some insane shit). But that first scene in Fright Night when she gets undressed and says she's ready always got me.

>>220451843Eli Roth stinks.
>>220451843being a chud is back in fashion, zionist not so much but it's not like that hurt Scream 7.according to wikipedia it's been postponed because the stars are doing other shit.
>>220451867Studio execs and most moviegoers won't care but some of the cast might hesitate working with him again esp those whose career is on an upward trajectory
>>220452015well he's got a new film coming up, and he cast a jew in the lead to bypass that
>>220452093Another wholly original concept from visionary horror master Eli Roth!
I am obsessed with neve's performance and mesmerized by how her eyes glitter in that movieI can't stop rewatching itI'm rewatching it in b&w and with the sound turned off, gets better with each viewingbody language acting is so intensely captivating and entertaininglayered and charismatic performances from this young castshe's so scared and vulnerable, her body is shaking yet her eyes fiery and defiantdid they know they were doing something truly special? they must have knownI am puzzled by how I see many say wes direction is generic. wes is not a stylist like argento, wes is not distinctive like carpenter etc, same with opinions that neve performance is nothing specialoutside of how argento films his females, i've never seen a horror camera this in love with its modelsand as much as neve does it for me, I have to give props to wes to doing the same with skeet for the fem audience, like he did with depp in freddy, he knew the importance of glamorit is striking how much iconic essence there is in this moviehow do you make something that is both generic and iconicit reminds me of the great john mctiernan, how everyone loves his movies but no one is able to explain what's distinctive about his directionwes career was downhill and the story goes that bob weinstein wanted to fire wes because he didn't like the dailies and instead he wanted it to look like (completely forgotten) nightwatchthe dp mark irwin (the fly) shot the first half, got fired for the house sequence and replaced by pete deming (evil dead 2, lost highway)when even the guy who brought his a game delivering one of the most iconic intros in horror history and who did an iconic classic like the fly gets fired you know the standards were really highso you get not one but two legendary dps involvedyet I've never seen people mention... scream, holy shit, god tier cinematographyeven more painfully striking when 7 visually recreates some scenes but it's just this saddigital netflix sludgeneve
>>220452346Oh man, genuine autism.
>>220452394I'm often called autistic but rarely called wrongif you don't focus on what's reflected in neve's eyes you cannot understand wes' hidden layermy next viewing will be dedicated to full close up zooming in on neve's eyes reflections because I'm now convinced he hid a secret message only I have the autism to decipher
>>220452346>yet I've never seen people mention... scream, holy shit, god tier cinematographyThe shot of Casey hanging from the tree at the start is amazing. There's a surreal quality to it. And it reminds me of NOES in that Craven knew how to make blood look striking.
>>220452793>Are ya winning, son?
>Friday The 13th: The Game: The Socks!It's funny that there's a bunch of companies getting the rights to make F13 the game merch to to get around the fact they'd otherwise have to wrangle the rights separately.
>>220452720The intro apparently was cut a lot, both Casey and her bf's deaths. The cuts add to the weirdness, her bf looks like... he just instantly self-disembowels.I'm harsh on 7 but the McKenna scene I think nailed the surreal aspect you mention - her suspended like she's flying, Ghostface entering the stage like an actor - very... giallo/operatic, that was a good throwback to the Casey hanging, if only the rest of the movie was like that. It just gets becomes lifeless afterwards.I was never into Freddy but I was rewatching a few scenes earlier today, Tina's death is stylistically quite fun, Freddy overall is such a cool concept for fun visual work but... just leaves me cold, I wish I could like Freddy more.I know why I love or dislike Carpenter, Romero, Cronenberg or Argento etc. throughout the years but Craven is a weird to me, I haven't fully figured out why some of his stuff deeply appeals to me while others just leave me cold.It's also hard for me to disassociate Craven from nostalgia, TPUTS was my first horror movie and I find it fascinating, but if I discovered it today I doubt it would have much effect.Agreed about the blood, it's so striking in the first two. Works so well against everything brightly lit, Billy just wearing a white t-shirt, it's up there with Carrie, everyone being injured and soaked in blood by the end, there are also a lot of giallo-fetishistic close-up shots of Ghostface's blade covered in blood post-kills, the redness of the blood amplified and contrasting with white shininess of the blade against pure black backgrounds, you'll notice those kind of shots disappear in the later sequels, there's less blood or the color is less striking, brown blood with grey lighting. Scenes where characters slowly bleed out instead of being quickly killed still make me feel woozy

aight lets see if this is worth shit
>>220453833The "uncut" version is available on various "movie downloading websites" and includes the extra few seconds that linger on Casey hanging from the tree. I remember that was the first version I saw of this film when I was a little kid (I think the uncut version was available on pay-per-view, and my mom rented it), and that shot scared the fuck out of me. Later in life when I rewatched it, I never felt that same sense of terror, but that's because I was watching the "R-rated" cut and didn't realize it. Only after downloading and watching the uncut version did I make this connection. Crazy how much difference a few seconds can make.
>>220450572In the odd occasion I actually go to a theater at this point, I go to the Alamo, so I usually order from their themed menu. I remember when It Part 1 came out, it was a circus-themed menu, so like a cotton candy shake (and an alcohol variant). I think that's where theaters need to go, if they want to survive. Make it into a premium experience.
>>220450827That one, and the one with the dude trying to make it to Mexico in the desert while being cuffed to the dead cop were always my favorites. I also liked one with the English dude from Ninja Turtles 2 and Titanic, and I vaguely recall him being the asshole host of some ghost documentary show or something, and they go to a haunted house and ti turns out, oh fuck, this place really is haunted. At least that's how I remember it, it's been over 20 years at this point.
>>220451645>>220451722My family doesn't even bother asking anymore.
>>220450785>No. No no no no no. Nooooo no no no no no no no no no... no.
>>220448580It's refreshing watching this in CURRENT YEAR because not every episode is WHITE MEN BAD which is what they would be if it were made today.Plenty of episodes with women as the villains and even some episodes with dindus as the bad guys.
>>220447804Has the same problem Late Night with the Devil has with the abandonment of its premise in the third act.
