Horror Movies Thread

Wrapped the weekend with a double bill of the original and re-imagining of The Slumber Party Massacre and they're both just such good popcorn slasher films. The original has its tongue planted so firmly in its cheek that it's hard not to love, dishing out equal parts humor, driller killer offings and surprisingly deep themes while the 2021 re-imagining is just an over the top meta romp that has a ton of affection for the original film and overall franchise.

Can anyone recommend some of the “50 foot Monster” movies from the 50s and 60s? (Not Kaiju.)

I sure can!

THEM! (1954) is the very best of the giant bug movies, but TARANTULA (1955) is also fun.

THE BEAST FROM 20,000 FATHOMS (1953) is Kaiju-esque (by some accounts, a direct influence on the original GODZILLA), but certainly well worth seeing, as well.

Just finished The Devil’s Candy, went in totally blind, and was very pleasantly surprised.

For anyone planning on seeing The Exorcist, we’ve got a date change.

I expected them to delay The Exorcist. I did not anticipate it being caused by T Swift!

I’m sure he wants the audience to actually hear the dialogue instead of hundreds of Swifties in the surrounding theaters screaming 1, 2, 3 let’s go bitch!

Move FNAF to 10/13 and reel in all that Swiftie money with double features.

Sorry, what prompted that change? Not that I'm complaining about getting a movie earlier instead of (the much more frequent) later.

Taylor Swift!

Ah, well, then I appreciate Blumhouse giving me the option of completely staying away from the cinema that weekend!

 

[Clive]

Well, I didn't expect them to move the release date up, but here we are!

At this point I gotta wonder if October is contractual. This movie would kill on Easter.

Might be. Might also be one of the first casualties we see of the strikes, as my understanding is this sucker needed reshoots and couldn't get them.

I think the chance to get the movie in theaters for the Halloween season -- and during the 50th Anniversary year of the original film -- would be too much to pass up.

 

[pumpkinbot343]

Watching a screening of They Live in theaters brought me back to one of the most dragged out fights I’ve ever seen in a film.

 

[Jerroddragon]

Any reason BLumhouse has 3 movies coming out 3 weeks apart from one another?

 

[belloq87]

Blum apparently subscribes to the "flood the horror market for Halloween" theory of release scheduling.
