Keep walking....... ![]()
I've heard the original Woman in Black from 1989 is terrifying, haven't seen it, though the whole thing is on youtube
The new Woman in Black is pretty solid too. Puts maintaining creepy atmosphere above jump scares, a forgotten element in a lot of horror movies these days.
I don't do scary movies much, so I have few recommendations. Take them for what they are worth:
"The Ring"
"Exorcist"-can't remember if either have been done.
Um, can't think of any others at the moment.
I hope they choose a cheesy horror film, like Killer Clowns of outer space or puppet master, I had Cinemax and watched a lot of these as a kid.
I think HALLOWEEN's major strength is also what would make it difficult to do a commentary -- the single-minded, relentless threat of Michael Myers. It's masterfully done in that the tension goes up and stays up the entire film -- he's always out there, he's always coming, there's nothing you can do but try to run, try to hide. And you do, and he finds you anyway. And you try to kill him, and he doesn't stop. It's the first film I can think of that literally feels like a nightmare. The entire film is the last act of TERMINATOR.
So, I put it on my list. But, really, how many times in a commentary can we say "This is really scary, the way she runs and he keeps on coming"?
I did not put TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE on my list because I thought it was boring as fuck. I want to say the remake was scarier but I'm weirdly not sure if I actually saw it or just imagined I did.
Ringu?
Jacob's Ladder?
Trick'R'Treat would be a lot of fun. I'm sure you could even find a conversation about Goosebumps in there. Same vein would be Trilogy of Terror. But. Meh.
Also:
Evil Dead 2
Interview with the Vampire
Scream
Oh, I completely forgot about "Jeepers Creepers." How's that?
In my opinion, Jeepers Creepers is great for about the first 20 minutes then it goes nuts and a bit shite. Oddly, the second film is more fun as it doesn't really pretend to be anything it isn't. It's still shite, but it has Ray Wise, so it wins ![]()
They've already talked about Cabin in the Woods, so I'd rather they wait and not have the film take up one of these spots. There are movies they're only going to ever do as part of an October run, so let's get those out of the way before doing one they're guaranteed to get to eventually.
I saw Candyman for the first time the other day and quite enjoyed it.
'I HEARD YOU LOOKIN' FOR CANDYMAN, BITCH!'
Prometheus comes out on October 9. Surely you can muster up a couple hours of words for that piece of crap, and it was supposed to be scary, so it fits the theme.
PROMETHEUS is going to happen anyway, no need to take up an October slot for it.
