The Horror Thread: Part 3D • Page 104

I have heard this one is RIDDLED with AI

 

Also, Wolf Creek rocks

 

Splittooth Media has been doing a great Horror series throughout October. Ton of wonderful essays in there. Here's Vincent Albarano (again!) on Halloween Party from 1989. I think he does a good job of capturing what I like so much about SOV films.
We Haunt the Airwaves: ‘Halloween Party’ (David Skowronski, 1989) - Split Tooth Media
Here's one about the Friday films:

didnt really plan on watching eden lake but now i def wont lol

 

Prince of darkness in the theater tonight!

 

watched Friday the 13th for the first time! i kept thinking, wow, this would've been so scary if it was 1980 and this was the first slasher I ever saw. in 2025, tho, it's just really cozy. iconic music, iconic setting. when I first saw Scream i already knew who the killer was, so I'm glad i didn't with this movie, it was a good surprise. the kills were definitely gorier than Halloween, and the sfx were pulled off pretty well. i can see how this influenced every newer summer camp slasher i've seen before

 

not really horror, but maybe horror? looks wild

 

Watched Freaky Tales last night. Not really horror/adjacent at all imo, which was strange because I feel like I remember that being the vibe of the trailer. Maybe it was just “freaky” along with the 80s vibes that had me thinking that. Either way, it rocked lol

 

Last segment closest to horror, very fun movie id recommend to anyone in the thread.

 

I liked Freaky Tales but was definitely confused as I expected more horror lol

 

The basketball one? There was plenty of blood I guess, haha. Like a Tarantino-esque action sequence. Definitely had a good time watching it regardless, yeah. Really impressive execution of the anthology format. Made me wish I was from the Bay Area!

 

watched A Nightmare on Elm Street for the first time! i kept thinking, wow, this would've been so scary if it was 1984 and this was the first slasher I ever saw. in 2025, tho, it's just really cozy. iconic music, iconic villain. the kills are really creative and i love the dream logic stuff. i'm surprised that this might be my favorite of the firsts of the big three franchises. i can see how this influenced every newer supernatural slasher i've seen before

 

Ah, that sucks. I didn't really know anything about the movie, other than coyotes invading people's homes and attacking them, which seemed like it might be fun.

On a happier note, The Long Walk is also hitting VOD that day

 

Bone Lake wasn’t what I expected it to be. Still a really fun watch though
