Nothing specific, I'll probably just watch some horror movies and set up a fall-esque projector in my room. I need to start decorating the yard.

i've got movies lined up for every weekend in october. thinking of popcorn and candy.

How children played slaughter with each other.

>There once was a father who slaughtered a pig, and his children saw that. In the afternoon, when they began playing, one child said to the other, "you be the little pig, and I'll be the butcher." He then took a shiny knife and slit his little brother's throat. Their mother was upstairs in a room bathing another child, and when she heard the cries of her son, she immediately ran downstairs. Upon seeing what had happened, she took the knife out of her son's throat and was so enraged that she stabbed the heart of the other boy, who had been playing the butcher. Then she quickly ran back to the room to tend to her child in the bathtub, but while she was gone, he had drowned in the tub. Now the woman became so frightened and desperate that she did not allow the neighbors to comfort her and finally hung herself. When her husband came back from the fields and saw everything, he became so despondent that he died soon after.

It's one of the stories that was omitted from Grimm's fairy tales...

Here is the other version.

>In a city named Frannecker, located in West Friesland, some young boys and girls between the ages of five and six happened to be playing with one another. They chose one boy to play a butcher, another boy was to be a cook, and a third boy was to be a pig. Then they chose one girl to be a cook and another girl her assistant. The assistant was to catch the blood of the pig in a little bowl so they could make sausages. As agreed, the butcher now fell upon the little boy playing the pig, threw him to the ground, and slit his throat open with a knife, while the assistant cook caught the blood in her little bowl.
>A councilman was walking nearby and saw this wretched act. He immediately took the butcher with him and led him into the house of the mayor, who instantly summoned the entire council. They deliberated about this incident, and they did not know what to do to the boy, for they realized that it had all been part of a children's game. One of the councilmen, an old wise man, advised the chief judge to take a beautiful red apple in one hand and a Rhenish gulden in the other. Then he was to call the boy and stretch out his hands to him. If he took the gulden, he was to be killed. The judge took the wise man's advice, and the boy grabbed the apple with a laugh. Then he was set free without any punishment.

Almost everything I have planned to do in October:
>5 local haunted houses
>4 local farms/pumpkin patches
>1 movie each day
>lanterning once a week in random spots
>making a time capsule for 2026~
>cooking rattlesnake with pig's blood
>making my wife read classic creepy pasta like dogscape
>getting every Halloween promo item from fast food restaurants
>night walks, especially on the 17th when its a full moon
>exploring an abandoned building that's rumored to be haunted
Among a few other smaller things. I already showed off my goodie bags.

How to select movies for the season? I usually just watch the same half-dozen or so classics, and while I'd like to branch out, I'm picky about and largely disdainful of modern horror.

>>38861755
I watch AVGN's monster madness. He covers so many gems. Or if there's an old flick I want to check out, I see if MST3K covered it- that's basically the only way to watch The Brain That Wouldn't Die.

>>38861755

I hear that. I tend to go for more kid friendly. October 1st and on Halloween I watch Trick r' Treat and the rest of the time I mainly watch things like Scooby-Doo etc. If something peaks my interest in a thread or on TV I'll watch it. Not too big into standard horror, it doesn't really fit the reason to me really. But, I will watch the OG Halloween 1 and II.

>>38861807
I do love AVGN.
>>38861812
I'm largely the same way. I'd love to join /co/'s Spooktober streams but the timing never works out.

Nice Satanic trips. Best vampire design, the Salem's Lot movie vampire design. Wasted on a non-character who does nothing because the director was an absolute retard who couldn't comprehend a vampire speaking because he couldn't imagine an appropriate voice for one, so he reduced the story's villain to a bit role at the end and gave all his lines to his henchman.

I can't find it but there's a schizo couch meme about just needing it to get cooler outside.

Halloween is the ancient festival of my people, the Gaels
Samhain, an ancient pagan festival of the underworld, after Christianisation it was to represent dead ancestors who have went to heaven and to honour the dead saints

>>38864776
I read an article implying Samhain is mostly a modern fantasy made up wholecloth but it made me so upset I didn't remember anything identifiable about it to run it by a Gaelic person for fact checking.

This makes me wonder... what is the best way to decorate for Halloween? Weatherproofing, clear walk ways, proper lighting, and age-appropriate are all pretty big limiters if you're looking to make your front yard into anything fun for the kids.
I'd like to someday set up some tarps into a type of maze-like arrangement people have to walk through but I can't justify killing my yard just yet.

>>38861184
I want to fake being a spooky occult person to freak out some new acquaintances for this Halloween season. Any tips from the schizos here on how to really sell it?

similar design to nosferatu 1979 - love that film, and the original (no interest in ever watching this year's remake)

>>38864826
different anon, but load of shite, my parents and their parents (etc etc) have always celebrated it, waaaay before mainstream americanisation. still a huge part of my childhood (and the present day) - again before the massive influence of us media - but with more emphasis on apples, coconuts and peanuts, rather than pumpkins and corn. present day is a little more influenced by america though, i have to admit, but it was always there.

>>38865831
Good to know. Love apples, though I have the same problem with coconuts and peanuts in that I have a ton of trouble swallowing the little bits of them after chewing them, and just get stuck chewing them forever. Hell knows what kind of hangup this is or why I've got it.

Hey guys I got a hold of some spooky comics from the 1950s called EERIE. I haven't read them yet but did I do a spooky good?

This was honestly my first year doing pumpkins. I think so, the ground is supposed to be moderately wet but not muddy. The types that actually produced were from my neighbor. I had some other starts from a store crap out on me. So type and strain might make a difference. I also didn’t do a cover mulch which I will next year. Because I limped them all along through the early season. That’s what Ive learned this year from them. It was a lot fun, and really different from anything else I’ve grown.

That's how I'm feeling about it. I love the divergence into neurological stuff and while I didn't expect it I like how surprisingly well it goes with the more folklore-esque Japanese spirits motif. Horror anime is pretty sparse so I'm always excited when I find a new one.

>>38868345

A few recommendations from me.

> Let the Right One In (2008, subtitled)
Sweedish child vampires in a realistic 1980's setting. A delightful film exploring the many faces of love ranging from first love, to love between friends, to love lost.

> Meandre (2020, subtitles optional)
What if Cube was a whole lot more claustrophobic with much better effects and acting? A tense and rather exciting film I don't want to spoil. If you can't get it subbed or dubbed, don't worry: the plot is mostly visual.

> Guinea Pig 2: Flower of Flesh and Blood (1985, Subtitled or dubbed)
A short (41 mins) but excellent entry point to the world of "extreme cinema" and Japanese horror. The best of the Guinea Pig series, by most people's standards. Very light on plot focusing mostly on aesthetics and metaphors. Free on the Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/guinea-pig-2-flower-of-flesh-and-blood-1985-mondo

> Hatchet film series (2006-2017)
These films are actually made to be one long film. It makes for a great marathon. Start with Hatchet and go in order from there. A slasher made by and for people who actually watch slashers.

Old film guy already covered most of my "classics" recommendations, but I have one more to add:

> White Zombie (1932, silent)
A surprising amount of research and care was put into this one, especially considering the era. Ignore the blackface near the end.

>>38878785
>> Let the Right One In (2008, subtitled)
Based based based. It's crazy how much better it is than the shitty American remake.

>>38878809

100% agreed. Everything is better. The acting. The pacing. The shots. And that trapped in the ice scene is very chilling, no pun intended. The cat scene is super silly in the Swedish version, but the laughs help break the tension which I feel really helps the film breathe a little. So even the worst part of "Let the Right one In" is better than "Let Me In".

Another Americanized remake I don't understand is "The Grudge". It's basically a shot for shot remake of "Ju-On: the Grudge" only swapping in American actors for Japanese. It's not bad, just pointless.

>>38878883
they remade Ringu, they remade Ju-on... now they just need to make Sadako vs Kayako

>>38878947
That would be a hell of a lot more entertaining than Freddy vs Jason. I swear.

>they remade Ringu
The Ring remake was good, though. Literally the only good remake of a Japanese horror movie. Although, to be honest, Bojan Bazelli's cinematography does a lot of heavy lifting. But Verbinski's direction is very good.

Anyone who likes Verbinski's The Ring should check out his 2016 movie A Cure For Wellness. Bazelli was the cinematographer for that, too. I don't think it's as good as The Ring, but it's still pretty enjoyable.

>>38880999
Unfortunately, you and I are the only people who liked A Cure for Wellness. I don't know why everyone hates it, I thought it was better than all of those 'slow burn A24' horror movies put together.
My only issue with the Ju-On remake was that they nerfed the apocalyptic ending of the original. The Dark Water remake with Jennifer Connelly was terrible through and through, imho.
I'd love to see a remake of Tokyo Gore Police with more practical effects or just updated CGI.

>>38881162
>A Cure for Wellness
That's been in my backlog for a long time now, guess I should get around to watching it.
>The Dark Water remake with Jennifer Connelly was terrible through and through
Awful fucking movie.

Find a way to post them.

Someone in one of these threads throughout the years recommended I watch A Dark Song saying it knew what it was talking about. That it showed occultism well and the magic made sense.
You are a liar. The movie sucked it fell apart completely in the end and barely brushed on the ritual. It knew surface level stuff at best and then did nothing with it.
Bad film.

There's three of them by me. The one I went to was probably the worse one. Their site has the Don Post Season of the Witch masks. Didn't have a single one of them in store. Just the same ol generic scary clown bullshit you can buy at Wal-mart for half the price.(Which I did for an outside display).

>>38878785
>White Zombie
That's a good one, which like the uncut pre-code versions of The Mummy and King Kong managed to be impressively brutal for the time. As for the "face" roles, I hold the Billy Dee Williams stance that it's funny in most cases and sometimes ignorable if well-acted (Alec Guinness and Laurence Olivier come to mind). I know the latter is more of a /tv/ discussion.

Seems like it. I think many people feel like it drags at points, and I heard a lot of complaints about the ending.

>The Dark Water remake with Jennifer Connelly was terrible through and through, imho.
JCon was literally the only reason to watch that. Love her.

>>38881816
Because the fall colors are nice, and when the weather starts getting cool you can wrap up in a light blanket while you watch horror kinos.

>>38882558
I hated A Dark Song too. No idea why so many people seem to like it. The main characters were unlikeable and the ending was laughable.

>>38883013
She was actually really good in Beetlejuice.

>>38883429
She's fine, she just can't save the awful writing in Wednesday. No one could. Crazy that Burton made both of them so close to each other. I hope he's cured now.

Taking a week long t break and then I'm going to smoke Halloween themed weed while watching Halloween themed content all month. Should be fun but so far the only Halloween themed strain I can find is phantom og and that's apparently a heavy, sleepy strain. Hopefully I can find something more cerebral

>>38883987
Take two weeks off before Halloween, then day off unzip your skull in the graveyard till you borderline green out from terror. If it’s worth doing it’s worth doing all the way.

Is the weather not cooperating? I have found cooler weather is imperative to feeling the spirit. Without that crisp, autumn air, it's a struggle.

>>38886509
Yeah, you've got to go out, being a shut-in won't help you feel anything seasonal, or much of anything at all. The sights and sounds are imperative. Tastes and smells, too.

>>38886385
Oh good LORD I know that all too well. I live in the Northwestern Steppe, and during the past 3 El Nino years (2020 to 2023), the warm air caused extremely good weather - which lead me to my philosophy of "I don't want no damn blue skies in October."

It's been crisp and cool and gloomy and gray ever since :3 thanks La Nina

but yeah that could be whats going on - La Nina does heat the southeastern US.

>>38888742
It's a much more recent movie than the others but I figured I should throw something modern in. For a recent horror movie I really enjoyed it, the horror general on /tv/ recommended it to me.

>>38886363

What's nice about Halloween is there are plenty of seasonal activities you can do even by yourself. You can watch movies, go for crisp autumn walks, go to a haunted location (or a "fake" haunted house), or even just decorate alone.

I don't either so my plan is to make homemade pizza, watch scary movies, and eat a bunch of candy on Halloween. My place is already decorated and I'll start watching scary shows as soon as October gets here.

Favourite eerie - but not necessarily horror - films? Like Eraserhead, Carnival of Souls, Jacob's Ladder (tho I guess that leans a little more horror), Hour of the Wolf, etc. My fav type of film.

This isn't strictly a film, but if you like Carnival of Souls then there's an obscure old Twilight Zone-adjacent show called Way Out that I find to be very eerie in a similar way at times: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQDQPZ3HQdzKaIecvPVGVQVCswLT0Bphy&feature=shared

I especially recommend the episodes Side Show, The Overnight Case, and Dissolve to Black in that order.

Another less obscure Twilight Zone-adjacent show that has a few good eerie episodes is the original The Outer Limits: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLl-w6y6B-BQ30ptmRBZvf1ABoi6a8rp3D&feature=shared

From it I recommend Don't Open Till Doomsday, The Hundred Days of the Dragon, A Feasibility Study, The Guests, and Demon with a Glass Hand.
