Best Thread ever confirmed.

Awesome!

I was just about to say something similar, actually. :p

New favorite thread!!! (just keep The Beyond out of it, okay?) :D:D

Coming up next: A 2000 word essay on the brilliance of The Beyond!

:D

I look very much forward to be missing that one. :mnight:

Re: Swan's Horror Thread
 

Yeah sure okay I'm down! :yup: :up:

Re: Swan's Horror Thread
 

Should've just called it the best thread.

First up, Shindler's list-

What a wonderful idea, dear.

So, have you seen The Changeling ? :D Well, I already know that you've seen Halloween, or should I say, the best movie on Earth. ;)

Thanks everyone!

:D I've been expecting something like that all day.

I have, definitely a good one as I recall, but it's been years so maybe it's time for a rewatch.

Take Cole with you. I can't get that kid, to watch that movie, to save my life. It's free to watch right now on YouTube. Maybe you can work up a commentary on it.

Re: Swan's Horror Thread
 

Good idea. I'll start nagging him.

*Off to nag Cole*

Updated main post with rating system. Going to try to be a bit stricter with my ratings from now on. We'll see how it goes.

Going to kick the night off with a rewatch of last years highly acclaimed throwback horror, It Follows. Do I like it, though?

Yes, I do!

Re: Swan's Horror Thread
 

The soundtrack for It Follows is one of the best all year.

Honestly, I'm trying to think of one that's better or even as good, and I'm coming up short.

I can't think of one off hand since like Halloween, excluding soundtracks with popular music. The music is everything in It Follows.

Re: Swan's Horror Thread
 

Music and camerawork were amazing in It Follows. Cant say the ending was as well though.

It Follows is a love letter to Carpenter/Halloween, and just 80s horror in general. Carpenter himself loved it apparently.

The director was explaining the ending was basically like a Scooby Doo trap gone wrong, if I remember correctly. I understand the complaint, but I feel like that understanding of it makes it better. I never had a problem with it, but then I'm not too picky about cinema anymore. I like to think about the positives, not the negatives.
