New thread! I’m going to suggest a film a day in October (and most of them will not be the ones on my lists for @shuffleonline). Follow along https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎃" title="Halloweenkürbis" aria-label="Emoji: Halloweenkürbis">
Oct 1: WE SUMMON THE DARKNESS is a horror comedy streaming on Netflix. It’s about metal music and Satanic Panic in the ‘80s. It’s fun!
Oct 2: HORROR NOIRE is a documentary on Shudder. It examines the role of Black people in the genre, on and offscreen. Talking heads include writers, actors, academics and directors. I learned so much from this one!
Oct 3: JOY RIDE is a thriller starring Paul Walker (RIP), Steve Zahn and Leelee Sobieski. I’ve loved this one since middle school when I first saw it. Road rage is real https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚗" title="Auto" aria-label="Emoji: Auto">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚛" title="Sattelschlepper" aria-label="Emoji: Sattelschlepper">
Oct 4: OCULUS is a supernatural horror by the always-great Mike Flanagan. Interesting timeline and family stuff (sound familiar, HILL HOUSE fans?).
Oct 5: JOHN DIES AT THE END is a wild horror comedy unlike anything you’ve ever seen. It’s not for everyone, but the book it’s based on is worth checking out too.
Oct 6: STOKER is a dark, disturbing, dramatic film from Park Chan-wook. Mia Wasikowska is great in this.
Oct 7: ATTACK THE BLOCK is a great British sci-fi horror (starring young John Boyega!). It has one of my favorite creature designs https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👽" title="Außerirdischer" aria-label="Emoji: Außerirdischer">
Oct 8: A DARK SONG uses the occult and the supernatural in what feels like a fresh way. I wrote about it for @shuffleonline way back in 2016 (please don’t judge my errors from 4 years ago): http://bit.ly/2xCyNg1 ">https://bit.ly/2xCyNg1&q...
Oct 9: VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED (1960) has creepy kids. I can’t explain why, but this one stuck with me. I expected creepy kids to show up in the dark after watching it, even though I wasn’t scared during the film https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷🏻‍♀️" title="Achselzuckende Frau (heller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Achselzuckende Frau (heller Hautton)">
Oct 10: TOKYO GORE POLICE is a wild tale of revenge, with lots of sci-fi elements and body horror (and gore!)
Oct 11: THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS is a creepy, darkly funny and very original ‘90s horror movie from my beloved Wes Craven https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🖤" title="Schwarzes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Schwarzes Herz">
Oct 12: THE INVITATION is a brilliant slow burn from Karyn Kusama. It’s currently streaming on Netflix, and I reviewed it for @xmorbidbeautyx in 2016: http://bit.ly/3nPKp6v ">https://bit.ly/3nPKp6v&q...
Oct 13: THE CRAZIES (2010) is a remake of Romero’s 1973 film (which I haven’t yet seen https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😬" title="Grimasse schneidendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Grimasse schneidendes Gesicht">). But it’s a really good take on the outbreak film, and it’s genuinely troubling and scary.
Oct 14: BEHIND THE MASK: THE RISE OF LESLIE VERNON is an incredibly meta horror comedy/mockumentary, released 10 years after SCREAM but ahead of other meta films TUCKER & DALE VS. EVIL, CABIN IN THE WOODS and THE FINAL GIRLS.
Oct 15: OUT OF THE DARK is sort of an ‘80s slasher about a man going after employees of a phone sex line. We saw this one at Vulcan Video (RIP) when they did Taps and Tapes, and it was surprisingly good!
