Okay. I need your opionion.

@Cerridwyn | That is the fun part. Whatever counts as horror is up to you! Each person has a different threshold of horror, and what scares one person might not scare another. So, what scares you?

@Wollyhop very little on the Silver Screen scares me. Now that startle let you get with the jumpscare that happens. But that’s more instinctive I think than fear. Now some of the stuff that people call scary disgusts me. Some of the stuff that scares me would have to be posted in a politics thread

@sillyheathen \ Haven’t heard of it off the top of my head, but I will check it out.

@Wollyhop they’re over the top gore and more black comedy than true thriller horror. If you’re a Dungeon Crawler Carl fan, you will love them. Henry Rollins is in the first one. There is a pair of Mexican dwarf wrestlers in 2 and 3. One of them was in pirates of rhe Caribbean I believe.

@heartny I knew Opie went fishing (the whistle soundtrack) but don’t remember anything about him and onions.
Or do I have it wrong?
Are we instead talking about nail polish on onions or did I miss construe a celebratory Greek shout?

/showme bridesmaids putting nail polish on onions while dancers shout while celebrating a Greek wedding

@heartny \ This is what happens when you don’t proofread yourself. Your writing turns inot pure slope

@Wollyhop into

@heartny @Wollyhop Poor (or no) proofreading can lead to statements that take you off a slippery slop.

@heartny @Wollyhop

@fjp999 \ YES. I just finished watching the original Hellraiser, and I loved it! I need to watch Hellbound and Candyman.

@Wollyhop I am a huge Clive Barker fan of both his films and books. Glad you liked Hellraiser. I think Hellhound is maybe even better… Some of the remakes are pretty good also. I really wasnt a fan of the Candyman movies. I do recommend Nightbreed (David Cronenberg is great in a lead role)! I just rewatch Lord of Illusions and enjoyed it more on the second viewing. Book of Blood is a great place to start reading.

@cfg83 followed by army of Darkness.

@cfg83 @sillyheathen Started watching them, absolutley loved them. Defiently on my radar to review.

@cfg83 Just don’t let them tell you that you have to take it to the dealer for a factory reset.

@sammydog01 \ Books, movies, video games. I’m looking for a product of pop culture to consume, then write a review about it. (But on the side, yeah, I would like some movie suggestions : )

@f00l Don’t worry, midterm elections will be upon us soon.

@phendrick

I fear them. I’m already in hiding.

@f00l @phendrick Show up, and help reduce the horror.

An interesting idea to ME would be exploring the difference between an original story and a treatment. Richard Corben did a neat comix version of Smith’s The Vaults of Yoh-Vombis but it’s pretty close to the bone. On the other hand you have BIG differences between King’s The Shining and Kubrick’s movie, to say nothing of the difference between Du Maurier’s Birds and Hitchcock’s. What are the auteurs trying to say and why is a particular version of a story a good vehicle for it? Which one makes the better point?
