The Horror Thread: Talk all things macabre

Imagine a Western with horror elements. It’s quite unique but it works so fucking well.

Just watched The Last Shift, fucking hot damn that was a great movie.

Very rare I actually get even a little freaked out by a film. So getting a tingly sensation was nice.

God I’m like the Scarecrow now, nothing scares me the majority of the time, but when I get traces of it shit is like a drug.

I wish they would stop making movies about evil dolls. How many times can you make that movie?

damn, really was curious about that movie. Thanks for the headsup!!!

i thought this was cool:

I don’t remember if I ever posted these here or not but here they are again.
Bunch of horror shorts.

Watched the Redwood Massacre for lulz the other day. At times i swear they were using chocolate syrup for blood, it was so dark and thick :rofl:

That’s an age old way of making fake blood. Usually for B&W pictures as it turns out well on camera.

Basically mix chocolate syrup or corn syrup with red food coloring and voila.

I always liked in the Evil Dead 2 that they’d sometimes just use straight up black blood.

I recall hearing that Peter Jackson used some real blood (not human) for Dead Alive (aka Braindead). They ran out of fake blood at one point (they were pumping out like 5 gallons of blood a SECOND during the lawnmower scene), and so he went to a butcher and paid him $5000 for as much blood as he could get.

Or maybe it was another movie, lol. I swear it was Dead Alive. Can’t remember where I even heard that fact.

apparently they’ve had to change the recipe over the years…yeah, it was straight up chocolate syrup in black and white. When they switched to corn syrup (or other gooey substances) and food colouring, they had issues like in Evil Dead where Bruce Campbell’s shirt became hard and literally broke.

Aw yeah.

Man, if it can capture the feel of those illustrations this could be a creepy ass movie.

For some reason I was thinking of " Are You Afraid of the Dark?" when I first heard this.

Those illustrations were the best part of the books. I can still visualize them.

Had no idea this existed, pleasntly surprised though. I didn’t love the first one, but I thought it was cool. Also big thumbs up for keeping the trailer cryptic as fuck and not giving away 95% of the film, I’m genuinely intrigued by that alone now.

When Animals Dream is now streaming on Netflix.

Speaking of pointless movies:

Both tag lines on that poster couldn’t be any more appropriate. Haha

I am very much looking forward to this.

I love this type of sci-fi horror, where you just don’t fucking know what exactly the horrible thing is but you know that it’s incredibly fucked up.

That trailer gave me some serious “The Thing” vibes, but as long as it takes cues from anything in the subtle but still horrifying monster catalog i’m sure i’ll love it.

Also kind of gives me some It Follows vibes, which was of course another great addition to the list of these types of movies.

I guess Cloverfield 1 was kind of like this too, but not completely in the direction i’d want.

Its almost like a parody poster. Don’t need to edit it for humor.

Cloverfield lane gave me some Day of the Dead vibes. People in a shelter getting tired of that shit.

Not particularly hype for it but John Goodman is cool.

Wait if you click on that image it turns out it’s a fan poster made back in 2012 on deviantart. Well played, @Skeletroll
