I still think that the scene in Friday the 13th when it's finally revealed that Jason's mother is the killer, by showing her speaking in "his voice" to herself, is one of the creepiest scenes in a horror film.
Yes! I had forgotten that. I thought it was a great nod to 'Psycho,' in a way, and was just about the only part that I found genuinely creepy.

lol...I'm sure that somewhere, someone didn't know that and I spoiled it for them....altho if they saw Scary Movie, then maybe they knew.

I had no idea. But I don't watch horror films, so I don't mind the spoiler :)

I had that one spoiled for me by Scream, but enjoyed that movie (and the subsequent watch through of a bunch of classics) that I didn't mind too much.

pointless tidbit: the actress whose character was the sole survivor the the first "Friday The 13th" film was a student of my uncle's. he was a fencing instructor back in the 70s and early 80s until losing an eye.

Are any of you familiar with this guy's work? He asked to friend me on Goodreads. I don't know if it's a matter of "collecting" friends or if it's because I mentioned my love for some authors he lists as influences in a group we're both in.

I've had a few authors ask to be my friend, not sure if this one has, but I don't bother when they don't review anything but their own work. They wouldn't add any value to my feed, as I see it.

I normally don't friend them, but since he does seem to hang out in some of the groups I'm in, I got curious. :) I've never read his work.

I saw the first two Final Destination movies with Colleen over the weekend. They were more fun than I anticipated. I picked up The Box and hope to watch that this weekend.

We watched a really excellent spoof of paranormal activity, the last exorcism, the exorcism of emily rose, ghost hunters and cris angel last night. It was called supernatural activity. Available on Netflix. Very well done. Very funny.

Love the idea! I'd love a discussion on monster lore over the years and how it's changed. For example, vampires sparkle now when before they were truly feared! Zombies haven't changed much except for method of infection. That'd be cool!

I really liked following along when you were both watching a bunch of "found footage" films, so MC's comment about looking at specific genre/sub-genre would really appeal to me. (Especially in that case, since I haven't really seen many.)

American International Pictures retro. Troma Films. Why do you like horror films? Do slasher (i.e. Friday 13th) movies count as horror movies? Do suspense movies count as horror movies? The Deity to be named later and horror movies. (Omen, Exorcist, Carrie)

I would love to do a session on "The black guy gets it first" and the evolution of that bit of horror history. I would be doing the Troma films, MC hates them. I think the term Horror film is completely subjective, it's based on what scares you, to me stalker movies are horror films as that scares the shit out of me but may be thriller to others. (I totally think Slasher flicks are horror films but again, subjective.)
- Scott. Cat Herder.
And I would love to know why she hates the Toxic Avenger.... If you can find them have the troma folks on your show or a Troma expert about the why of Troma films.

Nobody mentioned the token black dude. He survives for a long time, but never makes it to the end.

When chased by the chainsaw-wielding madman, the jock grabs his girlfriend's hand and running/pulling her (so ridiculous). Followed by the inevitable tripping/falling.

"Without warning, a boy in the middle of a city intersection sends Detective Oscar Mariani's car careening into a busy sidewalk. The scene is bedlam as every person becomes visited by something no one else can see. We are all haunted. Usually, the apparition is someone known: a lost relative, a lover, an enemy. But not always. For Oscar Mariani, the only secret that matters is the unknown ghost who now shares his every waking moment . . . and why."

Up next in our found footage fest: Evil Things. We are such suckers for these movies. Found footage has definitely become one of my favorite sub genres.
