Letterboxd lists for @OhTheWater's pick: MURDERDRONE-Adjacent Movies MURDERDRONE Examples for @xkaylinh 's pick: OhTheWater - All We Want Is Life Beyond the Muderdrone - A Murderdrone or Murderdrone-adjacent movie. Defined as a movie wherein 90% of it is people wandering around and getting murdered set to shitty lo-fi bedroom synths, and it's increasingly hard to pay attention, but you can't look away and you're stuck in a murdertrance. Aaron Mook - Monstervision - A movie hosted by any iconic horror host (i.e. Joe Bob, Elvira, Svengoolie, MST3K, etc.) Daniel - Death Harvest - A movie that features either a pumpkin head or scarecrow. (Any movie that features a scarecrow or a monster or ghoulie with a pumpkin for a head, someone wearing a jack-o-lantern mask, or a movie where at some point a pumpkin is on someone's head.) ghostedaway - Pet Sematary - A movie with an animal protagonist in it (the animal must have a major role in the film). Contender - Fear Factor - A movie featuring your biggest fear. wisdomfordebris - This…is my BOOMTRICK! - A movie that is a rip-off of another successful movie (whether out of love or mere capitalism), or one that simply capitalizes on the success of another in some way. xkaylinh - Thirty, Flirty, and Dying - A Movie featuring an actress who turns 30 this year (i.e. an actress born in 1995). Texas Flood - Y2J - A Japanese horror movie released before 2000. angrycandy - That's Not a Knife, That's a Spoon - A movie with a slasher that uses an interesting choice of weapon(s) ( i.e. something other than a knife, machete, or chainsaw) riotspray - Help Me. Help Me Be Human - A body horror film that uses primarily practical effects. estebanwaseaten - Cult Classic - Pick a cult! Any cult! Watch a movie about a cult that you have not previously seen. iCarly Rae Jepsen - In Your Flop Era - Your favorite horror movie that was critically/commercially unsuccessful but you love it – ideally under a 50 on RT. Extra Credit Make It a Blockbuster Night - A movie you've never seen before, but whose VHS/DVD box or poster scared you as a little kid browsing the rental store. Worst of the Best - Choose the worst-rated sequel according to RT from one of the big 3 franchises (Michael, Freddy, Jason). Tales of Terror - A horror anthology movie or show that you’ve never seen before. @imthegrimace 's Grimoire - A movie featuring a character named Hubert "Hubie" Dubois.
