Yeah so I'm a big time horror nut and after all these years the well seems to be running dry in regards to 80's/90's style horror films.
So this year I've already watched Cult of Chucky, which just left me confused after that ending. I watched the Babysitter on Netflix and while it's more of a dark comedy, it's a surprisingly clever film. I just watched all three seasons of Penny Dreadful and I have mixed feelings. As a whole I liked it, but I thought that the reaction that everyone else had to the creature was a tad unrealistic considering he just looks like a hot-topic kid all grown up and isn't particularly horrific. The ending was so bad that it almost negated the whole show though. Every plot thread to every character ends in tragedy, the bad guy gets away, several things aren't resolved and the show just....ends.... It makes a person want to go cut themselves it was so depressing.
So anyway, what are you guys watching this year? Anything worth commenting on?

Horror this year?
Get Out was a very good movie.
It was a very solid adaptation. Gerald's Game, too.
Split was great.
:dunno
-
Watched Annabelle Creations (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5140878/) the other night. That tied with some horror VR games made for a spooky night. I ---smurfing--- hate dolls
-
Stranger Things season 2 ;D
-
Madea's Boo part 1 and 2
I got a rock. :(
-
I just watched that turd 47 meters below or down or whatever.
Cult of chucky was dumb but enjoyable.
Brazzers
Abd im still planning on seeing IT

I've heard good things about Get Out and Gerald's Game. 1922 is supposed to be good as well, but everyone says the pacing is off.
I'm not a huge fan of modern horror, so Annabelle Creations is out for me.
Stranger Things Season 2 is something I'm impatiently waiting on.
Tyler Perry movies are horrific alright.... horrifically terrible. Seriously who keeps going to those things? I wish people would stop so he'd.... go away.
I found some recommendations online but I haven't sorted through them yet, so more on that later.

*patiently waits for them to remake Monster Squad
Count me down for Stranger Things 2
I planned to see IT opening weekend but the freaking fam has been cramping my style... and now next time me and Shally get a night out we're going to have to do Suburbicon because the freaking Cohen brothers amirite?
-
Stranger Things season 1 was kind of a ripoff of It to begin with... and now that I've seen It I find it difficult to go back.
:dunno
-
Stranger Things is more of a ripoff of E.T. and Poltergeist if you ask me, but that's exactly why I like it. If you are going to steal, steal from the best.

I watched the following films (I love Horror movies)
Get Out! --- Awesome movie.
Cult of Chucky --- It was lost on me... granted the only movies I have seen in this franchise is Childs Play and Childs Play 2. I think you would have to really watch all of them to get the inside jokes and references.
Babadook --- Watched this last year and I enjoyed it.
Hush --- Was okay
Death Note --- Apparently this is based on an anime series or a comic book series... not sure. Great idea but it felt rushed. Would have been a better Series.
Devils Candy --- My favorite Horror movie of 2015
Don't Breath --- Was very good
The Void ---- Eh... not a fan.
47 meters down --- I really liked it. But I could see it not being for everyone.
Annabel Creation --- Saw it in the theater. I am sick of these demon movies where you lose. No way to win. Just like the first Annabel and the conjuring movies and Insidious. ---smurfing--- jump scares. blah.
The Babysitter --- hated it.
The Witch --- Pretty old school creepy
Movies I am going to be watching soon....
Raw
Stranger Things Season 2 --- Law of sequels... this one probably isn't going to be as good.
-
I just watched Hellraiser. For the first time. Eh, horror movies are all so cheesy to me.
-
Shut your mouth! The original Hellraiser is a damn masterpiece. Now the sequels......
For the record, Death Note IS a series. It was adapted many years ago to an anime and a Japanese live-action movie. The American Netflix version is an adaptation of the Japanese film, which wasn't very good to begin with. Regardless, adaptations of adaptations are rarely any good and if you count the original Manga, it's a triple adaptation. The anime, on the other hand, is quite good and I believe it has been dubbed if you are one of those people that can't stand subtitles.

omg love that one... first watched it when I was like 12 or 13.
-
Speaking of hellraiser, I'm actually in the middle of printing the lament configuration...
-
I’m a big ol’ puss. I don’t watch horror films.
-
Anyone seen Happy Death Day? I felt like the trailer gave away 90% of it but the idea was intriguing.

FTFY

Ooo I did that one year on my inkjet. If you find a nice woodgrain image and print it on heavy photo paper it turns out looking exactly like the real thing. I did that and then got gold paint from the craft store and went over the brass bits and people couldn't tell the difference.... until they held it or course.
I'm assuming you are 3d printing though.
-
Yeah 3D printing :)
I'll post some pics when I finish it, gonna pick some paints up today
-
Check out Channel Zero on SYFY. It's on season 2 but each season is a stand alone story. Pretty good for TV. HBOs Room 104 is pretty good, it's an anthology series along the lines of Outer Limits or Tales from the Darkside.
Black Mirror on Netflix is good too, another anthology series
-

Can confirm: Death Note was a good series. Admittedly, it does require a certain level of suspension of disbelief around certain premises in the show, but if you can get past those then it's quite enjoyable.
-
Well anime in general is a bit weird... some people just don't get it. That aside it was basically an intelligent discussion of morality in the guise of a horror thriller. I really liked it back in the day. Quite similar to Code Geass and it basically created a whole sub-genre of anime thrillers.
-
The House at the End of Time - Good movie if you are a parent
I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives In The House - Slow build but good overall
Odd Thomas - Great movie
Stonehearst Asylum - Good
Witch - Predictable
Stranger Things - Liked it. Not as great as I expected
Lady In White - 80s nostalgia baby.
Elvira Movie Macabre / 10 Nights of Halloween - Elvira goes with Halloween like boobs go with bras.
Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History of Friday the 13th Part 1 - Wealth of information on the franchise. Tedious to watch. Only watch if you are a fan of Friday the 13th
Need to see:
It - Can't wait to see it. Have to find the time.
Don't Breath
Green Room
-
Death Note the anime was good, really good.
The live action Japanese Death Note was... ok.
Not even going to attempt the Netflix version.
-
Stranger Things season 2 ;D
This.
the fire stick is getting a workout this weekend.
I also have some Halloween cartoons like Great pumpkin but those and everything else my now 11yr old wanted to watch last yr are "lame"
but the 9yr old will still watch them with me. :)
-
The Great Pumpkin is lame!?! Beat em'! You can always make more kids. ;)
I managed to watch the first episode of Stranger Things 2. So far so good.

We binge watched first season a few weeks ago to prepare.
And second time around I still could only think of a sphincter when that alien opened it's mouth.

don't spoil anything I'm binging when I get home.

True dat. Nothing is ever lame when you're having fun with your kids. I watched the 1978 movie Witches Night Out with my daughter Thursday night. If I watched it by myself it probably would be lame but I got enjoyment because I was with my daughter.
I also forgot to add House II to my list. Great movie.
-
Gonna watch the first Ghostbusters then play the Arcade Game afterwards.
-
I grabbed a copy of Disney's Spooktacular (or some such) that televised in 1988 from spleen. That was an ok family night. Who doesn't like the dancing skeleton animation?

LOL!
We watched that last night also.
surprised me they were into it.
probably because it looked cuphead like.
the oldest commented on how old it must be and I could tell he found the limited colors and animation interesting.

I finished Stranger Things 2 this morning. It has one filler episode, but this season there are 9, so whatever. I was impressed overall. The plot lines are far more predictable this season, but it's still enjoyable due to the addition of new characters and development of existing ones. It's hard to do a sequel, but they succeeded.

he's only a yr older but it's no excuse.
-
Could we hold off on Stranger Things spoilers for like... 48 hours?
Thanks.
