What are your favorite horror movies?

[(Anonymous)]

As classic or as new as you'd like!

Re: What are your favorite horror movies?

[(Anonymous)]

As the local World Mythology nerd, I love two horror movies based on folklore.

The Hallow is based on Celtic Mythology and The Ritual is based in Norse Mythology.

Actually, does anyone have other ideas for movies based on mythology?

Re: What are your favorite horror movies?

[kaijinscendre]

Favorite of all time is The Thing. I also enjoy Alien. For newer films, Pontypool and Train to Busan.

Re: What are your favorite horror movies?

I love the Hammer Horror Dracula movies, and the 1973 movie The Wicker Man is a huge favorite of mine. (If anyone has any recs along those lines, I'd be very grateful.)

Re: What are your favorite horror movies?

i usually like campy, body horror or sci-fi, so the thing, jacob's ladder, event horizon, the fly, malignant, re-animator are among my favs. I rewatch them regularly.

and I just finished watching the substance (2024) and it's going right up on my favourite list lol that movie was insane in the best way possible

another recent movie I liked a lot is influencer! not gory nor body horror, but the tension is intense! i recommend it to the squeamish horror fans. it's more of a psychological thriller done well.

Re: What are your favorite horror movies?

I just can't get over Hereditary. That film blew my mind.

Re: What are your favorite horror movies?

[(Anonymous)]

Dog Soldiers. But that's because of Sean Pertwee.

Re: What are your favorite horror movies?

[(Anonymous)]

I don't like a lot of horror. The Ritual and Temple are examples that I actually do like, and I recently watched the Nun with basic understanding of the Conjuring universe.

Re: What are your favorite horror movies?

[philstar22]

Event HOrizon is my top favorite.

Also love Alien, Halloween I and II, Rosemary's Baby, Misery (the best King adaption hands down), Silence of the Lambs and Red Dragon, Wicker Man (original), basically any classic Christopher Lee horror, and Hellraiser (minus the ending).

Fright Night (1985, fantastic year for movies)-- largely this is a nostalgic pick, it was one of my dad's favorite movies and he shared his love of all things horror with me. But, it holds up for me.

Get Out-- thought that one was just phenomenal.

Pearl-- I hadn't been interested in X but then I just really thought Pearl had a lot of style, did a lot of things that I was into.

Creep-- I didn't like the sequel nearly as much but there was just something about Creep that had me.

I Am Not a Serial Killer-- hhhhhhhhh loved this

Razorback-- a fever dream. Perfect movie, no notes.

They Live-- Man, They Live...

I am seconding Train to Busan, also The Ritual was just fun.
Right now my all time favorite is Nope. As you can probably guess I am not a horror fan - I love horror elements or short stories but I just get bored with horror pretty easily.

Re: What are your favorite horror movies?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm a bit of a whimp when it comes to hard core horror, so I do lean towards the funny or fantasy/not-too-real kind of horror.

There's a few old comedy horrors that I love best like Comedy of Terrors with Vincent Price, Carry on Screaming and Abbot and Costello Meets Frankenstein. Then there's the 90s Addams Family movies, Jennifer's Body and Death Becomes Her.
Then there's the Sci-fi/fantasy ones like Van Helsing with Hugh Jackman, Blade and the Resident Evil movies.

Also, I love a horror musical too:
Anna and the Apocalypse, Sweeney Todd, Rocky Horror, Nightmare Before Christmas and Phantom of the Paradise.

Have any pettuber/animal channel recs?

Any sort of companion animal feature is fine!

[(Anonymous)]

This might not be what you're looking for, but I enjoy watching a dog (and occasional cat) groomer. The first channel is her main, with ~5 minute videos and the second is for full grooms.

Vent - anti-technology parents

[(Anonymous)]

So I was working for a small business that was really hit hard by the pandemic. Things kept getting worse and worse until finally they couldn't afford to pay me anymore, so now I'm looking for a job. It's a super niche field that I can't find any openings in, but I keep applying for everything remotely similar that I feel like my skills could transfer to. Anyway, things are mostly online, and whenever the subject comes up, my parents get really annoyed with me and are like "you just need to print your resume and go to places and hand it to people in person" and don't seem to understand/believe me when I say that that's not how it's done nowadays. They're like "in our day, you walk up to the store on the corner and they do an interview with you right then and they hire you that day" and...THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS ANYMORE.

And in general, anything related to the internet makes them mad...in their own "I don't understand how this technology works" kind of way (my mom getting upset with her phone because she doesn't understand how updates work, or constantly calling me when she's on her computer and clicked the wrong thing and messed something up and it's the simplest fucking thing ever to fix), and also whenever I make any reference to it. They learned about bots and now they're convinced every person on the internet is a bot. I'll mention I read a comment online about xyz and she (I keep saying 'they' but to be fair it's mainly my mom, my dad's somewhat better on these things) will be like "oh, that was probably a bot/why do you talk to them/I don't want to hear about it [because I don't understand it/it scares me]" yet if I say that that exact same comment was made by someone I talked to in line at the grocery store then she'll react like a normal human being.

The thing is, I'm in my 30s and they're in their 60s...they're not that damn old, I know there are people their age that work jobs in technology. My mother acts like she's 100 and grew up without electricity and anything new and different than what she's used to is horrible and scary.

Anyway. I know this is incredibly dumb but I just had to get it off my chest.

Re: Vent - anti-technology parents

I'm near 40 and my parents are 71 and 80 respectively. I get this sentiment so much, especially when when I started looking for work, canvassing was still a thing that happened. Now it's online and I have to tell my mother (71) that there's no jobs that reflect my specific skill set (admin) and she doesn't fucking get it.

Re: Vent - anti-technology parents

[greghousesgf]

If I didn't know better I'd swear you were my sister. My parents said this crap to me ALL THE TIME.

Re: Vent - anti-technology parents

[(Anonymous)]

My sympathies! My parents are nearly 80 and are very switched-on technologically, and it is honestly fantastic. My dad was always into computers, my mum wasn't but having grandkids and needing to access grandkid pictures immediately converted her.

Re: Vent - anti-technology parents

[(Anonymous)]

My parents were really anti-technology until they realized they could watch all their favorite shows whenever they wanted and FaceTime all their relatives that lived far away. They still don't know how to log into their work's website to see their check stubs though and are stubborn as hell about learning how to do it no matter how many times I show them how. Neither one knows how to use a computer though and it's kinda funny 'cause their computer literacy is almost the same as the Gen Z kids I work with.

Re: Vent - anti-technology parents

[(Anonymous)]

Oh god, my parents are the same re: job applications. What's silly is that my dad is no stranger to the internet, but refuses to admit that the last time he had to apply to a job was 30+ years ago. My mom is worse - she's been a SAHM for yoinks and has never so much as touched a job application, but she's adamant that I should show up during business hours and ask to speak to the manager so I can fill out an application, interview on the spot and show them what a plucky go-getter I am! And to top it off, I should also offer to work for FREE on probation for two weeks and then if they think I did a good job, they'd hire me. Just like that, so easy! She doesn't understand why I don't go and snap up all the high paying jobs that are lying around waiting for people who want to work.

Petty things that make you give up on a piece of media?

[(Anonymous)]

I was thinking about this yesterday. There's a podcast I was listening to for awhile and I had to stop because there are a couple words the hosts constantly mispronounce and it was driving me crazy. I even started questioning myself, like 'have I been pronouncing these words wrong my whole life?' (even though everyone else I'd ever heard say them pronounced them the same way I do) but I looked it up, and no. And they're from the US like I am and English is their first language so it's not a 'they pronounce things differently in different countries' thing. They're just wrong. And it annoys me.

Anyone else have really dumb reasons why they quit watching/listening to/reading something?
