My Halloween movie marathon 💀🍿

UK General Chat
26

Had a week off and made absolutely terrible process on the marathon.

I blame my partner studying for her PHD viva - how rude!

  1. Rec - 4 :bat: out of 5
  2. Sleepy Hollow - 3.5 :bat: out of 5
  3. The Frighteners - 5 :bat: out of 5

@HoldenCarver The original Scream made our list so we left out the newest one although it’s absolutely a belter of a film.

Halloween is everyday if you try hard enough so we’re binging the rest of the films this week :upside_down_face:

So I went for a pumpkin design related to one of my favourite bands - Descendents.

Smile was rubbish.

Barbarian was pretty good.

I’d heard pure good things about Barbarian - cinema or home for viewing?

I genuinely prefer watching horrors at home - people being daft in a cinema screen can ruin the set ups.

We watched both in the cinema.

Smile was terrible tbh. I felt like that woman in the rollercoaster meme and wanted to speak to the manager.

Barbarian, whilst could’ve gone further given some of the lines in the movie, was pretty good, some jumps and on edge of seat moment. Def recommend.

I watched it in the cinema, but for you Probably home, it’s a very suspense-driven horror so you wouldn’t want that but ruined (my cinema has a good crowd so I wasn’t worried).

Yeah my main cinema is in Glasgow city centre so guaranteeing an audience without someone daft can be hard.

Did anyone watch anything specifically spooky last night?

I watched:

  1. Tremors - 10 :bat: out of 5 (one of my absolute favourites)
  2. The Monster Squad - 10 :bat: out of 5 (another childhood favourite)
  3. Beetlejuice - 5 :bat: out of 5.

I was forced to watch The Conjuring on Saturday. With lights off.

I’m still twitchy… and have yet to visit the cellar since.

I have two cats and can assure you it’s quite the opposite. They’re useless with noises :joy:

My partner’s cat guards the door anytime I go to the toilet so I know he has my back if any ghost/ghoul/axe murderer tries to dethrone me from the Community/this mortal coil.

In other spooky news - I saw that Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosity has started on Netflix and the trailer looks amazing. I’ll fire up the trailer in the Netflix chat.

Some of these were ok, very strange anthology series for the most part :sweat_smile:

Cats are our alien overlords, already amongst us silently waiting for the moment of world domination.
