The Horror Thread: Part 3D • Page 210

I haven't seen it since it came out but I remember thinking Velvet Buzzsaw was one of the most boring movies I'd ever seen. waste of a great cast

 

Yeah, I was massively disappointed after how much I loved Nightcrawler.

 

I forgot it was the same director, yeah big drop off. Nightcrawler was so great

 

very tough. When thinking of general IP — Nightmare hasn’t been touched in 15+ years. Friday the 13th immediately came to mind, but they’re making that prequel series for A24 currently.

personally I’d say Friday the 13th since it had significantly less of an impact on my horror fandom when I was younger

 

Friday the 13th

 

yeah that's F13 for me too

 

The only one I haven't seen is tcsm. And aside from Scream I've only seen the first of each franchise. So judging from just the first films, F13 seems to have had the least amount of influence on the genre as a whole

I'm scared tcsm would be too gory for me, but by today's standards it's probably pretty tame mayhaps?

 

TCM2 would probably be too much but the original isn’t really gory at all, even by 1970s standards.

 

Yeah TTCM isn’t really gory at all but it is still one of the grimiest things ever. It doesn’t need any blood or gore to do its thing

 

No F13 means no Jason X :(

 

It's official now

 

everyone saying F13 is on my shitlist

I will not be answering unless people feel like being mad today

 

TCM isn't gory, but it is very disturbing even today

 

Switching my answer to tcsm bc I haven't seen it and wanna stay on Aaron's good side

 

You gotta see it but I appreciate the support

 

I would probably choose The Exorcist, if I’m being totally honest. Maybe even Scream, which is a favorite of mine. Neither one would feel good to say. I just think plenty of the horror I love still exists without the direct influence of either. I have given this about 30 seconds worth of thought.

 

The Exorcist easily lol

 

That was my thought as well tbh

 

my thought process was while I didn't particularly like The Exorcist I think without it serving as the blueprint for religious horror we wouldn't have gotten The First Omen (granted I haven't seen the og Omen either). the rest of them are all slashers so there's some overlap there

 

Brother...you read my mind

Probably The Exorcist of we're taking the objective influence part out of it. Otherwise, it's Scream for me. I love that movie and franchise up to a point, but the way people in here seem to feel about F13 is how I sometimes feel about Scream as a whole, fun as it was.

 

The Exorcist easily loses due to not having fun sequels like the rest of the franchises. Scream and F13 are my top 2.

 

100%
