I always thought A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night and Let the Right One In gave off folk horror vibes as well despite being set in modern day
Happy Halloween to the best thread on Chorus! Currently on movie 3 of 7 of our marathon. Watched Back Country and Harpoon. Harpoon was an absolute blast. Still watching Slaxx, VHS 94, My Heart Can’t Beat Unless You tell it To, Bone Lake and Butterfly Kisses the rest of the day. All of these are first time watches. Gonna order pizza, smoke a joint and enjoy all of the spooky shit tonight!
Happy Halloween, everyone! My ex and I are going to virtually watch some movies, starting with Reed Richmond. There is a very real chance that I'll make us watch Evil Puddle after all, since I literally just remembered that last Halloween was when I first watched Don't Let the Riverbeast Get You and my love for Motern Media/Matt Farley became a thing.
Our wedding is in 2 weeks so we have not been able to do it up for Halloween like we normally do. House is not decorated at all, barely watched Hocus Pocus last night and I still fell asleep. Been kind of a bummer, but we're already planning on going big next year. Going to get Halloween (1978) in when I get home in a few and having some friends over tonight to watch something and try to salvage some feels.
Too cold to sit outside with the baby, so I'm watching the Chris LaMartina Halloween Video Goodie Bag or whatever it's called and it's like a full hour and 40 minutes long haha. There's some really fun choose your own adventure game clips in here. Harvest Brood and Strange Harvest are next on the list. A Harvest double-feature!
Slaxx was a blast. Way better kills and more interesting plot than I was expecting. I honestly thought the movie would be cheesier than it was given the premise.
I don’t know if the VHS moves are my thing. Like I’m a huge found footage fan and liked a few parts of 94, but half of the segments fell flat for me. The lack of cohesive narrative kind of kills it for me.
Re: the Barnes and Noble sale (thanks again @xkaylinh), I pulled the trigger on Severin's Blood Island releases -- three Filipino monster films from the late 50s/early 60s that don't appear to be available anywhere else -- and a copy of I Saw the Devil.
Triple-post, Harvest Brood is sick so far but watching horror with my wife around is a nightmare. She could be in the other room for 20 minutes while nothing happens, and then without fail will walk in just as something horrific and gruesome is on screen, and it makes me so self-conscious
Ended up just going over to my ex’s instead of doing a virtual movie night as we initially planned. Carved pumpkins and drank cider, I got to say hi to our bunny, watched Trick or Treat with Reed Richmond, Evil Puddle, the Joe Pera Fall Drive episode, and It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Really fun night.
weekend has been super busy with non-Halloween activities (a TCG prerelease event at our local game store, a friend's surprise birthday party tomorrow), but we're committed to watching something spooky on Sunday
