First for Julia

That one film that is absolutely awful but you've already come so far so you'll have to finish it. That's the true horror

>don't posting the best Hellraiser waifu

Don't bother watching Temple. It's kinda ok until the very end where it just shits the entire bed.

Only the first Hellraiser is good. The fifth Hellraiser is also good, but it doesn't count. What does everyone think to Bone Tomahawk? Just got done watching it.

Why faggots here are saying that this movie is horror? Wtf

It's a bit of a weird one. Not what you would conventionally think of as a horror movie.

Went from cowboy movie to the fucking descent/hills have eyes out of nowhere.

Ok, I gonna watch

Also, is there a single actor more based the Kurt Russell?

No.

But me personally am fond of Jeffrey Combs. He's been in a ton of crap but he's always good to watch.

I just finished watching this, which isn't terrible but not quite good either.

Kurt Russell is truly /ourguy/, fantastic movies and he's some kind of AnCap irl.

What did Sup Forums think of this one?

Insidious: The Last Key was cancer of the highest caliber

First for LEVIATAN, the GOAT

>Only the first Hellraiser is good
No it's great & 2 is equal with it, 3 is good but is more standard slasher fare.
4 is decent but had the potential to be superb had the fuck nuts not butchered it in editing like they did with Halloween 6.
It certainly handled the [insert killer] in space angle better then Jason X by taking it seriously.

Why is horror the most fun genre?

I could watch them all day, I admire practical effects and the bizarre concepts that people come up with its the best form of fantasy because it isn't limited by its setting.

What other genre has something as bizarre as basketcase, brain damage, from beyond, hellraiser, list goes on and all are completely unique from each other.

Recommend me some cool history movies.

I remember watching a horror flick a long time ago that was basically Sup Forums: the movie and even it was great. something about a space crew that finds a haunted ship and it drives them crazy and they start doing Sup Forums tier shit like gouging their own eyes out.

Event Horizon?

yeah that's it

Because it’s horrific.

Favorite slasher movies...
> Halloween 4 - The Return of Michael Myers
> Halloween 2 (81)
> Cold Prey (pic related)
> Cold Prey 2
> Friday the 13th Part 6 - Jason Lives

Kurt Russell isn't based, Kurt Russell IS the base.

...

This desu

What a reddit list

Not even reddit, that's complete tumblrcore

I like both of those lists.

Who's the most powerful horror villain on this roster?

U have to go back

Pinhead or IT

the thing, the quickest threat to all humanity, because it replicates faster than aliens. all the rest only attack in limited numbers, even the supernatural ones

Sup Forums really needs the goreposter on Star Wars threads

t. reddit

Damn, Hellraiser used to give me maximum nightmares after I saw it as a kid. Then, like 5 or so years ago I watched it again because I thought I'd at least get spooked or whatever, but damn, the movie sure is cheesy as fuck. Ended up smirking and facepalming most of the time.
Fantastic makeup and propwork though, still holds up.

Since I'm already here, can anyone here suggest other movies like Descent? I love me some inexplicable, barely visible, very audible horror with no happy endings.

>Barker releasing a new Hellraiser novel
HYPE.

Oh shit, that's not even scary anymore. I see people like this walking down the street all the damn time. How did this become normal? OPs pic is vanilla as fuck.

Bone Tomahawk was great. More of a true Western with strong gore than a legit horror. I wish they made old school westerns now, not in the same style but, there are a lot of artistic avenues opened up now. Bone Tomahawk displayed that well because about everything else about that film could have been made in 1950, but it had horribly realistic action and intense gore, which would've never happened back then. Anyone seen anything of Zahler's other movies? He's doing one or two with Vince Vaughn and Mel Gibson, I am excited.

Agreed on Hellraiser as well.

Shut up, faggot

You mean The Toll? Though a prequel to Scarlet Gospels, that's actually authored by Mark Miller, who wrote the latest Hellraiser comic for Boom Studios

Much of that style of horror is having a really good go in video games right now, with Bloodborne and other Lovecraftian works being made. There is one I'm keeping my eye on called Sinking City.

I only mention this because that's my favorite style of horror too and I don't expect that style of storytelling finding much support in indie movies or hollywood for the foreseeable future.

One movie I never gave much of a shot before was Re-Animator. Pure kino and also Lovecraft. If you haven't seen that check it out.

What do you guys think of the Rodger Corman/Vincent Price Poe movies? Are they too cheesy for you?

I watched House of Usher a few months back and was surprised how good it was, especially for Corman who had a not-great reputation in my circles.

Best scene in the movie.

THE CHATTERER IS BACK BOYS!

kek

I thought Lord of Illusion was pretty good, but that's because cosmic horror is best when it's kept in light doses. That's why the sequels to Hellraiser weren't particularly good imo.

Ok, 5 minutes of the movie

only lasted 20 minutes of this piece of shit

I dig them for what they are.


There's an anthology titled Poe: New Tales (edited by Ellen Datlow). The first story, "Illimitable Domain" by Kim Newman, is about the Roger Corman adaptations of Poe's stories. Kind of historical fiction since it tells the story of how those movies came to be (and why they're what they are instead of straight Poe adaptations) but as told from a guy working in the movies. It was him who suggested they adapt Poe because he wanted to film The Murders on Rue Morgue so his trained monkey could have the lead role. Fun story, but insightful to those movies.

The rest of the book is a mixed bag, but there's at least two amazing horror stories in there: "Strappado" by Laird Barron (think "The Cask of Amontillado" by way of snuff performance art movie), and what I think is a masterpiece of modern horror, "Technicolor" by John Langan, which is about a professor giving a lecture to his students about "The Masque of the Red Death". Though the story is nothing but the narrator explaining the story, it becomes something really unnerving. Worth a read if you're looking for some new horror fiction.

anyone see the new insidious 4? was it good ?

I suppose expectations being low, I was pleasantly surprised by House of Usher. Corman wasn't that bad of a storyteller and his use of color was even kind of impressive to me desu. The best thing about what I've seen of those films is that it lead me to The Conqueror Worm. That's probably my favorite horror movie right now, and easily the best I've seen of Vincent Price.

Thank you for your effort post user, that book looks really interesting and I plan to check it out.

Fuck, yeah, that's the one. Still hyped.

*led. Sorry for typos I'm gearing up for the next semester right now.

Holy shit I had no idea there was another Hellraiser coming out.
Post the trailer tho.
youtu.be/kxvrmWijW2A

where do you live?

Hell, Illinois

Did you guys watch Krampus this Xmas?

No, but it looked interesting to me.

Nope, I watched this one instead.

I liked it a lot and recommend it. Don't watch the trailer, since it is very misleading in terms of tone and story, but I get why they made the trailer like that, so they didn't spoil the actual plot and tone of the movie.

faggot

>apparently it's Pinhead and Chatterer vs demons from hell

This is going to be a weird one.

>30 minutes of movie
>innocent black boy is killed

Reminder that Kayoko from the grudge has never even been slowed down, much less stopped. The girl from the ring is close 2nd, since you can pass the curse off to someone else, but she can't be stopped.

Jeepers Creepers is a great movie and if you wrote it off as old mainstream trash than you ought to watch it.

Real world?

The Thing would be utter chaos, then Damien grown up bringing in supposedly Hell on earth, or Krueger.

Watched pic related for the first time last night.

Literally every slasher movie stereotype and trope in one movie but it somehow worked. Overall a fun movie.

SHARE YOUR HORROR WISHLIST!

> Scream 5 never happens...
If it does...
>> Sidney does NOT die or become a killer.
>> Dempsey's detective from 3 returns in a prominent role.

> The Predator - Is good to great.
>> Munn gets naked.

> Antje Traue is a lead in another horror movie.
>> Gets naked in it or elsewhere again.

> DGG's Halloween is good to great.
Not asking for it to beat the original or even 2 & 4 which IMO are great but at least better then H20 to make it worth getting JLC back.
>> Judy Greer gets naked in it.
>> The possibility of Laurie still being Myers sister in this new time line is not ruled out. As had the events of 2 never happened it's possible that fact may have never become public.

The first species is better than the second. I liked Sil a lot more than the male monster in the second.

Agreed. Great skinny dipping scene.
The killer despite no mask & a everyman kinda look/outfit manages to be menacing. His battle Axe was a solid trademark weapon.

Agreed this was my Christmas kino this year. Really liked it's ending.

Full Victor Crowley trailer is out.

Not liking the vibe I'm getting, actors aren't taking it seriously enough for my taste.

Is it just me or did the new Hellraiser look, for lack of better explanation, not like a movie?

Something about it seemed very, very cheap.

I hope Laid to Rest 3 moves forward.
I heard it was suppose to start filming in December on Wikipedia but I haven't found confirmation of that.

It's very low budget.
To its credit. It looks 50 times better then Revelations.

I hope in the new Halloween they keep Myers's eyes hidden in Darkness.
Removes a lot of his menace when exposed.

it's a western.
being violent doesn't change the genre.

also alien is sci-fi and not horror

michael is going to be played by nick castle who played him in 1978 and is currently 70 years old.

I would like to see a scary horror movie about alien abductions.
Another one I'd like to see done is about skinwalkers, but only if it's done creepy like those creepypastas (them speaking rehearsed lines and looking off). Maybe they could just add some slight cgi to the actors to make them look off or something. I know Hollywood would never be able to make a good movie about it though.

I just watched It Follows for the first time tonight and it enjoyed it a lot. My only gripe with it is I wish the creature kept the more creepy disguises like the tall lanky guy, old lady, and hooker. Made it seem more creepy and menacing.

Lore-wise that doesn't make a lot of sense. The cenobites aren't really demons as much as they are extra-dimensional sadism/masochism freaks that exist in some weird place called "the labyrinth." They see sex and pain all as part of experience and get off on all of it. They aren't necessarily evil.

They're just Clive Barker's gay homo fantasy presented with scary music and dramatized.

...

The movies dropped the whole "sensual explorers" thing after the 4th. Every movie after that has them acting like more traditional demons, even judging sinners.

This is Castle Freak, right? Not bad, too bad Babs didn't show tits.

no.
it's a different charles band movie

It's like they're regressing in creativity lol. It's kind of sad when they want to explore new territory but then go back to squeezing shekels out of a known brand with bland content.

Oh, it looks kind of like it, the monster especially. I just assumed it was an alternate title.

The movie adaptation over the short story was half regression and half medium translation. All of the sequels have been a regression in creativity. It just became more obvious over time.

...

Ok, not so much here but on the cover. Plus the mentioning of Jeffrey Combs threw me. But I guess he's in that too. I just never heard of that movie. I guess I should watch it now.

In the original movies the Leviathan realm wasn't even hell, it was just a pocket dimension. And their concept of pleasure is literally torturing each other to the point of being disfigured and scarred beyond repair.

i hope this style catches on.

oh my fucking god. PUT A CHAIR UP AGAINST THE OVEN YOU DUMB BITCH IT'S NOT DEAD.

Fuckng faggot crying about Bone Tomahawk

fire in the sky

I love each of the Hellraiser movies for different reasons but even i can't admit the second Hellraiser is equal to the first.

Its a mess of a film. It's got good parts but it breaks so many rules and generally doesn't make a whole lot of sense and a lot of the performances besides the Doctor and Julia are awful

Also I don't know about you all but I've always hated the ending to the original Hellraiser. Always felt rushed and nonsensical

I highly recommend the films of Brian DePalma

Alot of the most powerful characters on this list are only powerful in their own realm

>pinhead is only powerful when you open the box
>Freddy is only powerful when you fall asleep
>beetlejuice is only powerful when you say his name 3 times

So out of all those the most conventionally powerful ones would probably be Jason or The Tall Man. Also Michael Myers

Watch The Blair Witch Project, Grave Encounters or Kill List

That movie really went to shit in the last half. First half was top notch
