Annual rewatch tonight. I think this has surpassed Gremlins as the best holiday horror flick of all time.

Yes. I'm not good at the movie critic thing but I'd sum it up as fairly predictable but solid. Prob a 6/10, watchable but forgettable.

I watched it last night and I agree it is a fun flick. Nice balance of humor and horror.

Never knew anything about Lucio Fulci (aka Louis Fuller) who directed The Beyond, which is the uncut original version of the same horror/pseudo-zombie movie titled Seven Doors of Death, but I clearly didn’t miss anything. Schlock would be a good way to describe this 1981 “southern gothic” movie as Roger Ebert did back in the day. The soundtrack is truly awful imo. 2.0 for effort.

I just watched the Dark and the Wicked and enjoyed it.
I am a Joe Bob Last Drive in fan if your into that.
Satans Slaves was good.
I think Shudder may be my favorite channel. There is so much to watch on there. It really depends on what kind of horror you are into.

A couple of my foreign faves are on there I believe - Audition and A Tale of Two Sisters.
Oh yeah - One Cut of the Dead as well. For this one and Audition - if you haven't seen either I really have to stress sticking it out and getting past the first 30mins - the ride is well worth it.

I actually didn't care much for It Follows but really liked Deborah Logan.
I'll look into Summer of 84...thx!

Weird...I went to watch it and even though it is listed, when I hit play it says it is not available for me to play. Not sure why. I tired it on chrome, the IOS App, and the Roku app.

Interesting. I remember It Follows really scaring me.
I've almost started Deborah Logan a couple times, but the impression that it will get to me, so I find an excuse to watch something else.

The Dark and the Wicked

It follows was definitely creepy the first time. I don’t love it as a lot of people do but I think it is a very solid movie.Interesting. I remember It Follows really scaring me.

I love a good found footage movie (which unfortunately are getting harder to find) and Deborah Logan is one that stuck with me. I live the way the story unfolds and definitely has that building sense of dread.
One of my favorite found footage movies is on Amazon Prime...Grave Encounters which really freaked me out the first time I saw it.

Grave Encounters (Prime video)
VHS (Prime)
Lake Mungo (Prime)

These are ones that I always pimp as well. Just recently watched Hell House, and I really liked that one too. Lake Mungo has been in my queue for awhile too, and I should check that out.
Of course [rec] is near the top for me, but I don't think that is streaming anywhere.

Just watched Lake Mungo. Didn’t care for it all. Thought it was boring and not scary in the least.
KarmaPolice
Footballguy
Anyone see the [rec] sequels? tempted to buy the bluray pack to have the original, but it looks like its only about $12 more for all 4.
Cold Dead Hands
Footballguy
I think that they are good enough to own. Besides the first rec, the one that takes place at a wedding is my favorite. Can’t remember which sequel.

If you want some free horror fun, get the Tubi app. I watch it on my smart TV, but I'm sure it'll work on any device. TONS of shlocky horror films for free - there are occasional commercial breaks.

I liked it because it was more about unraveling her issues than a paranormal activity-like predictable film, but it’s slow and not really as advertised.
Godsbrother
Footballguy
The story had promise and could have been scary if they wanted to go that route but they didn't. I think a movie like this needs a payoff at the end to justify the slow build-up. It just didn't have that for me.

Just signed up for Shudder.
First watch was Satanic Panic. Horror comedy. I liked it. The ending was pretty weird.

Is anyone else subjected by their spouse or significant other to watch these horrendous paranormal movies, such as the conjuring, conjuring 2,3 4, 1000. Oh but hey, this one is based on a true story..just awful not to mention beyond stupid.

My wife hates horror. Just be happy she wants to watch stuff with you that is mildly entertaining. Also, if it isn’t 20 seasons of a network show about doctors or cops count yourself blessed.

Loved the first Conjuring as well. 2nd not as much.I love the first Conjuring movie.
Just watched Dr. Sleep again (2nd time). Really enjoy this movie, one of King's better adaptations and a bummer it was a box office failure.

Has anyone here ever had trouble with the shudder app sound not synching? It seems to be about 10 seconds off.
It is unwatchable for me right now and has been for four days. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app but this has not corrected it. It happens on every show I try to watch on Shudder.

Deborah Logan, yes if the devil gets to you this will. Did me but still watched twice, but I'm twisted.

I’m not sure if it was someone in here who recommended The Wolf of Snow Hollow or not. It goes back and forth between supernatural and serial killer the entire time and keeps you guessing until the end. Not sure if this should be in horror or just the regular movie thread, but it’s interesting, a little different/quirky, and I liked it. 3.5/5
That's where the series splits off from all the Annabelle movies and Conjuring 1 with the doll. Other than the characters Ed and Lorraine Warren The Conjuring 2, The Nun and the new Conjuring coming out are kind of their own series without the doll.
The possessed doll horror theme is intriguing with the real Ed and Lorraine having a supposedly possessed Raggedy Ann doll and the original Robert the Doll both held in museums. Robert the Doll story is pretty fascinating in it's own right whether the doll was really possessed or not and was likely the spark for the whole genre.
