What should I watch tonight yall

 

Night of the Creeps.

 

Went with Hard Rock Nightmare, might follow it up with that Gwar feature

 

Coming to the thread with a huge favor to ask. My old email, which I had no idea everything in my Android was tied to, has unfortunately been wiped. Photos, notes, you name it, including my watchlist. So if you guys have must-watches on particular streaming services -- Netflix, Hulu, Prime, HBO, Shudder, Roku, Tubi -- or even if you have a watchlist or certain films that are on your radar, sharing them would be immensely helpful in restoring my list.

Thank you!

 

Hi all - what are some of your favourite cheesy / silly 80s slashers? Watched all of the Sleepaway Camp and Slumber Party Massacre films this week with my partner (my ranking is 2 > 1 > 3 in both cases), and they’re absolutely hitting the spot right now, so keen to find more in the same vibe, if anyone has any to recommend!

I’ve seen Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday 13th, but not much else.

 

My favorite of the subgenres. Not all “slashers” necessarily

Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2
Friday the 13th VI
Psychos in Love
Satan’s Little Helper (not 80s but definitely silly)
Pledge Night
Hauntedween
Return of the Living Dead
Vamp
Demons
Demons 2
Brain Damage
Frankenhooker
Spookies
Re-Animator
Terror Vision
Night Train to Terror
Don’t Panic
The Blob
Chopping Mall
Hack o Lantern
Cemetery of Terror
Chud II
Prom Night II
Grave Robbers
Blood Lake
Blood Hook
Blood Rage
Scary Movie
Scary Tales
The Suckling
There’s Nothing Out There
Jack-O

 

Fantastic - thank you so much!

 

TC2 is the greatest of all time. (And that is a great list.)

F13 VI is a great call, but I would also say VII is worth watching too. VI is superior, but both are great fun.

Also Night of the Demons!

 

Thanks!

 

Were they lesser known movies on your watchlist or just anything?

 

Trying to hit some Romero i’ve missed over the years. Starting with Season of the Witch

 

The unrated/extended version of Evil Dead (2013) is on Paramount+.

 

Honestly both! I spent like an hour scrolling through Shudder last night and wound up with a much longer list than I had initially lol. Watched The Deadly Spawn (amazing gore/practical effects) and House

 

Is Predator 2 any fun? Trying to pick something to watch this afternoon.

 

Yeah. Not great, but fun.

 

Whenever I see a damn puddle in a parking garage….

 

Seriously. Any mirrored rooms or hallways. This movie legit freaked me out as a kid and the imagery still holds up and is creepy as hell. It's not given enough praise in my book.

 

I'll go through all the streaming services I have later and list all the movies I want to watch and hopefully you'll be interested in some lol

 

Watching “House”; what a delight

when the hand is creeping out of the garbage bag haha

 

Predator 2 was a mess, but I still loved it. Also had no clue Bill Paxton was in it, so that was a nice treat. Now I’ve moved on to Chucky season 1. Perfect preparation for spooky sZn.

 

Definitely not good, haha. Not even bad good for the most part. I gotta say though, seeing Gunnar Hansen pick up a chainsaw and remark on how he hasn't used "one of these" in 20 years really tickled me

 

Any recommendations for something akin to The VVitch?

Looking for some supernatural period pieces with good atmosphere.

 

Hagazussa, November, and Sator jump to mind

 

All this talk of Orphan: First Kill has me checking it out for the original for the first time. I know the twist but I’m excited to check this out finally.

Edit: Character actress, Margo Martindale!

Update: Yo - this movie was wild. Definitely gotta add O:FK to Spooky Season watching!

 

Without any idea of what you have seen already or interested in, I'll throw a few lesser known movies that you should check out.

Tourist Trap
One Cut of the Dead
Train to Busan
Ginger Snaps
Phantasm
Alena
Dog Soldiers
