You're right about Puppet Master, too many of these things haha
Welcome to the club on the writing part. I try to jot down some quick notes after watching something if I want to write anything about it at some point and that seems to work for me. Finding the time to actually do it is always the big challenge and others I'm assuming.
I'm relatively new here too like yourself. Keeping your rules simple is the best way I figure to get people involved. Lets hope we can get some more people writing about horror in general. This is October after all! The contests or initiatives must take some time to build up. I see some on here with so many participants and it must be very taxing on those running them.
Thanks so much for the suggestions and I've seen them all if you can believe that. I'm so glad to see you mention Cemetary Man, I used to recommend this one once in awhile as a crazy comedy/horror and nobody has ever heard of it. Maybe using Dellamorte Dellamore turns off people. A deep cut and great film.
You're right about the 90s and boom Jacob's Ladder comes to mind and that was 1990. That might be a fun one to watch and write about. Lots going on that one.
I think we have very similar tastes in horror.
As an aside, I was briefly thinking about doing some extreme horror/gore but I better not. Everyone will think I'm a weirdo haha. Lucifer Valentine's work, the August Underground films or even the Guinea Pig series wouldn't fly around here I figure. No screenshots from these films haha. One viewing is plenty for me and I need to be in a certain mindset to watch this type of horror. Most horror is much tamer than these films. I'll watch any film as long as it holds my interest, art or trash it doesn't matter.
This response is way too long and I better stop haha, until next time. I see your Bubba Ho-Tep review is up. Time for me to read
Oh man, what an excellent writing tip. I'm gonna have to try jotting down some quick notes while watching. In a weird way, the extra task during viewing sounds like a lot of fun haha. Thanks a lot for sharing that one with me.
What!?! You gonna not only be aware of Cemetary Man but name drop Dellamorte Dellamore on me? I'm impressed. You are legitimately the first person I've ever mentioned that film to who already knew about it. I just imported the blu-ray of it and I'm really hoping it makes it here before Halloween.
Jacob's Ladder! I knew I had to miss some great ones. That would be a lot of fun to write about. I'd love to read your take on that one.
Haha I don't know much about this community yet but the extreme horror/gore might ruffle some feathers, even though I'd appreciate it. I can't see something like Slaughtered Vomit Dolls gaining any traction with this crowd haha. I'm right there with ya though, I'll delve into anything once, and in the case of extreme gore, once is usually enough.
You could probably settle and watch something like Meatball Machine or Tokyo Gore Police but even those might be pushing it. It's been a long time since I watched them so I might be wrong on that assumption.
Thanks again for the awesome conversation! Sorry I'm slow as shit when it comes to anything involving writing. Till next time!
