Snuggled up for the night with the youngest and rewatched this gem. #HorrorSky #M3GAN

#NowWatching #TheRuse (2024) by Stevan Mena and starring Veronica Cartwright and Madelyn Dundon.

The Awakening (2011).
Nothing is as chilling as 1920s skepticism meeting a Victorian ghost. Rebecca Hall is perfection as always. Hauntings with a side of post-war melancholy and exquisite wallpaper is yummy stuff. 🎞️🕯️ #NowWatching #TheAwakening #HorrorCommunity

Thank the fucking gods! I really owe you one!!!!

If you’re cold, they’re cold. Bring them inside!

Happy birthday, Matthew Lillard.

Both of these are still on my tbr list. Ugh. I need more hours in the day.

Drop something WATERY 🌊🖤🥛

I liked it too. There really isn’t anything quite like it.

I need to make this thread. This is a great idea.

Caffeine is my only true friend at this hour.

You guys are so awesome for the likes. But I think I have to admit that at 45 "hot takes" - I think I'm tapped out. I'm not sure I've got enough interesting thoughts about horror in my brain.

Fist of Jesus YouTube video by Red Party

Hot Take 45: The 2012 Spanish language zombie Jesus comedy short film, First of Jesus, is not a Christmas movie... but people should watch it on Christmas anyway. And on any other day for that matter.
youtu.be/KD8BmfhlICQ?...

Hot Take 44: Treevenge is a Christmas movie.

Hot Take 43: Richard Matheson’s I Am Legend has been adapted into film 5 times (that I can think of). Not one of them holds a candle to the book.

Hot Take 42: The most terrifying part of Jaws is the mayor who is willing to feed his constituents to a monster just to keep the summer revenue flowing... the most terrifying part of Jaws 2 is that he is still the mayor.

Hot Take 41: The Mist's assertion that it takes just 24 hours for a grocery store aisle to transform into a medieval 'trial by ordeal' was proven right during COVID.

Hot Take 40: It true that Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House is still the single best haunted house novel ever written. But The Woman in Black by Susan Hill is a pretty close second.

Hot Take 39: Stephen King’s Misery is the ultimate 'Body Horror' because it replaces the supernatural with the much more realistic terror of being physically dependent on someone who hates your autonomy.

Hot Take 38: Every movie Dick Miller was in was better because Dick Miller was in it.

Hot Take 37: Lupita Nyong'o was robbed of an Oscar for Quiet Place: Day One

Hot Take 36: Toni Collette was robbed of an Oscar for Hereditary.

Hot Take 35: Mia Goth might be the second coming of Jesus. There's no proof she isn't.

(Also she needs to divorce Shia LeBeouf.)

Hot Take 34: Vampire's wanting to kill themselves after a few hundred years is p*ssy sh*t. You gotta bump those stats up, kid. Those are rookie numbers.

Take 33: The most unrealistic thing to regularly happen in horror movies is women agreeing to split up.

Hot Take 32: Done right, the open ended movie ending are usually better.

Hot Take 31: The original ending to JP's "Get Out" would have been way better.

I literally just watched this the day before yesterday. And I still can't figure out if the time was spent poorly or really well.

That’s only because you are a person of high-quality, class, and excellent good taste.

Hot Take 30: When people ask, “What’s the best decade for horror movies?” The answer is always “the next one”.
