Good Movies / Re: What is your first Horror ...
Last post by M.10rda - Today at 06:23:30 AMThis is difficult to answer. There were a lot of horror movies playing on aerial/network on weekend afternoons in '79-'81, before we got HBO (and POLTERGEIST played non-stop for months in '82 or '83). I can't place most of the earlier ones, but among them were definitely LEGEND OF BOGGY freaking CREEK and CREATURE FROM BLACK LAKE, as well as an array of Universal monster movie stuff (DRAC, FRANK, CREATURE FTBL) and the Vincent Price HOUSE OF WAX. Probably some other popular 70s stuff that I saw again on TV slightly later and so remember less clearly from toddlerhood (I definitely recall seeing PIRANHA many times).
Then of course my parents watched AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON in prime time in (I'd guess) late '81 or sometime in '82 and that opening scene and then the home invasion sent me screaming out of the room. The original FRIDAY THE 13TH was also on TV around this time, and I could only keep watching until "Crazy Ralph" delivered his famous warning, and that was too much for me. AMERICAN WEREWOLF was definitely uncut so maybe those were on HBO quickly after my parents subscribed.

Last post by M.10rda - Today at 06:10:07 AMI've seen a lot of Matt Berry but haven't located AD. Can I get it online or do you have a UK physical release?
Ahnuld is in EXPENDABLES 2, right? I've heard (from my close persona friends Dana Carvey and Bob Odenkirk, heh) that Ahnuld and Seagal specifically do not mix. Remarkable though that Stallone thought tha franchise could succeed w/o Seagal!

I really didn't like Part 5 or 9. I appreciate they tried something different and having a fake-Jason in 5 with the ambulance driver Roy was a nice attempt to continue the series.Quote from: HappyGilmore on November 20, 2025, 09:26:02 AMFriday the 13th and Friday the 13th Part 2.
I was probably 4 or so, late 80s.
the first one I saw was part 8... maybe that's partly why it's my favourite? it's supposedly one of the worst (or even THE worst) but I love it
Parts 3,4 and X are actually my favorites, with 8 probably tying with X. I watch those 4 the most whenever I rewatch the films.
yeah X surprisingly good! has the best death scene in the franchise... you know what one!

Mine-
I saw FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLFMAN on TV in 1967. I was 5.
My mom saw this when she was a little girl circa maybe 1950 and was so scared she threw up.
I don't know what the first horror movie I saw was but Piranha was an early one that I really liked.

As a TW fan I appreciate this deep cut. I always assumed TW saw the name of this movie and came up with a song around it, but it could easily be a coincidence.

Last post by lester1/2jr - November 20, 2025, 08:12:47 PMThe Murder in the Red Barn (1936) - not a documentary on Tom Waits deep cuts, instead this is a drama about a woman killed by a man who decided the relationship wasn't for him. Oh well, guess things didn't work out. No, it's a little more complicated than that.
The movie opens with a dummy stage and the various characters being introduced to the audience. My guess is this was meant to remind people "it's only a movie" and not to freak out about the brutal nature of the story. It is actually helpful, though. I wish more movies did it, but I guess it breaks the 4th wall thing. The antagonist is very ably played by Todd Slaughter, whose over the top performance is akin to the guy with the curly mustache and cape in Might mouse cartoons tying the girl mouse to the tracks and laughing ha ha ha haaaaa. Most of the IMDB reviews cite him.
For 1936 this is pretty dark, but obviously very tame by today's standards. The story is based on an actual case https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Barn_Murder . Only 56 minutes long. Tubi's print is not so great.
4/5
The main actress's Little Bo Peep type bonnet outfit isn't very complimentary, but she does her best with it.

Feature length fan-made documentary about KISS' historic first tour of Japan in 1977. Does an impressive job of editing together vintage live footage and interviews from Japanese TV broadcasts and modern-day remembrances from fans who were there. An entertaining deep dive for KISS nerds.
