The Manor Residents and Horror Movies
Talking about what kind of horror movies each of the characters like and why
Toby is someone that mainly just wants to have a good time. To him, a horror movie doesn’t even have to be scary in order for it to be good, it just needs to at least be entertaining. That’s why he tends to lean towards your classic slashers and has enjoyed that small wave of horror comedy movies we got a few years back.
- Favorite movies: Scream and The Babysitter
______________
Tim prefers horror movies that give you an uneasy feeling rather than outright scaring you. He goes for the movies that gives him a sense of dread and will leave him staying awake at night not because he’s scared but because he can’t stop thinking about it.
- Favorite movies: Skinamarink and Creep
___________
Most people would say that Brian is kind of a freak when it comes to horror movies because he likes the blood and guts and gore, but there’s a decent reason for it. He is someone who almost never gets scared, so most horror movies end up being pretty dull. That’s why he turns to the ones that have the most creative kills because the over the top manner is borderline comical for him.
- Favorite Movie: Terrifier
__________________
Jeff loves a good mystery more than anything, so he enjoys horror movies that really get his brain turning trying to figure out what is even happening. He loves it more when movies need that second viewing and all the small details he missed the first time come together.
- Favorite Movie: Get Out
__________________
Ben doesn’t really care for horror movies unless they tie into a special interest of theirs be it video games or general tech heavy movies. This leads to them really liking the blend of horror and sci-fi.
- Favorite Movies: Possessor and The Invisible Man (2020)
________________
Natalie is a little weird when it comes to horror. She likes challenging herself with the over the top shit. The stuff that would reach the bottom of those disturbing movie icebergs, but at the same time she doesn’t like mindless torture. She prefers disturbing movies that still tell a story over exploitation for the sake of exploitation. After all, she is an artist that loves to find meaning in some of the more disturbed content.
- Favorite Movie: V/H/S/94: The Subject
___________________
Jack isn’t really picky when it comes to horror movies. He just likes anything that tells a good story. He really likes books, and movies are like audiobooks to him since he can’t really watch them. Tell an interesting story, and he’ll be hooked.
- Favorite Movies: Midsommar and The Strangers
_________________
Jane loves a good, campy, over the top, ridiculous, fun horror movie. Horror movies that are actually scary are just such a downer to her. She wants mindless fun to turn to in order to relax after singlehandedly keeping the manor residents alive. She also just likes watching something as dramatic as her.
- Favorite Movies: Bodies Bodies Bodies and Cabin in the Woods
__________________
Nina talks a big game when it comes to horror movies, saying she can handle anything when she’s really a massive wimp. Despite being a true crime girlie (derogatory), the spectacles of horror movies like jump scares and suspenseful music freak her out. It’s probably why the only ones she can really handle are those subtle horror mockumentaires as they purposely mimic the style of all those true crime documentaries she likes to watch.
- Favorite Movie: Banned from Broadcast: Saiko! The Large Family
___________________
For obvious reasons, Sally can’t watch a lot of horror movies, but it hasn’t stopped her from trying. By trying I mean that she watches a lot of cartoon Halloween specials because she thinks that those count as horror.
- Favorite movie: Scary Godmother
____________________
Slender is a fan of the classics, and I mean the classics. Like black and white, super old school, really not all that scary by today standards. Frankly speaking, newer forms of technology freak him out as much as it fascinates him. He still barely has texting down, so when it comes to really any kind of movie, he’ll go for the old ones to relax with. They provide comfort to his overly anxious self.
- Favorite Movie: Frankenstein (1931)

Shocktober 2023 Reflections
I have watched, for the second time ever, all 31 movies on my Shocktober marathon list! Knowing that this was my 10th marathon, and knowing that it's probably going to be the last time (read on, friends), I wanted to make sure I didn't leave myself any loose threads. But enough about that, let's get to the "awards".
The winner of Most Potent Nightmare Fuel goes to: Skinamarink. It's not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but it presses my buttons in the worst way.
Runners up in terms of scariness include:
V/H/S/94's short "The Empty Wake", Talk to Me, and Relic. If, like me, you're actually looking for something to keep you up at night, these are your best bet.
Special mentions to Duel, Gaslight, Huesera, and You Are Not My Mother for just being good horror/thriller flicks.
Comedy prizes go to One Cut of the Dead and Malignant. The former is basically a very long brick joke and the latter has some bad tone problems early on, but both will probably leave you grinning.
And now we gotta talk, I think, about Shocktober itself. As I mentioned last year, I'm having to spend more and more time searching high and low each year just to find movies that are going to be worth the time and effort to watch. I opted for one more year just to get to an even 10, but now, having watched 285 movies as part of these marathons, I'm pretty confident that it's time to give it a rest.
Does this mean that Shocktober is over forever? No! But it is going to take on a different form. I have a slate of great "horror marathon" alternative schemes: including "let's plays" of long video games, binging seasons of horror TV shows, marathons of horror short stories and copypastas, and, eventually, resurrecting the horror movie marathon with the 31 Most Frightening Films Ever (after I figure out which movies belong on that list, that is).
So I definitely still want to make a fun project out of celebrating Halloween each year, but I think the plan is just to try some other things that'll breathe a little more life and variety into the endeavour, and to maybe (just maybe) ease back a bit on the raw time commitment involved.

Terror Time 2023: Day 20 Thru 24
V/H/S 94 It's been a long time since I visited this franchise and I know I'm still two entries behind. I'll get to them, but in the meantime, I want to talk about how much I like this one.
Holy Hell the wraparounds have always been the weakest part of these movies (sans maybe Viral since I skipped that one) and this is no exception. I don't think i get it. So the female members of a SWAT team are part of a videodrome like cult and tonight they're sacrificing their squad? I mean, OK.
Storm Drain this cliche about reporters going into the lair of the killer is now starting to wear thin for me. Even if sewers weren't creepy (and these ones very much are before the cultists show up), why would you be this willing to wade through literal shit for a story?
That being said, the Ratma effect is awesome. I may not understand how acid puke equals god, but I'm willing to overlook that because these ARE cultists and they may be more we didn't see. The final scene makes all those flaws worth it. It's an all-timer.
The Empty Wake This story easily has the best build up. Funeral parlors are great settings already, but add onto that a storm, loneliness, boredom, and then add sudden paranoia about the body not being dead; whoo boy! And even if that doesn't work for you, the zombie is great. The whole last bit of this plays like one of those stealth horror games in the best way. As a bonus, the zombie doesn't play fair.
The Subject Certainly the most balls-to-the-wall modern update of Frankenstein you'll ever see. It's also probably the best action movie adaptation of it. Also appreciate that as monstrous this version of the mad doctor certainly is, it remembers also he was never the only monster from that setup. I'm starting to feel like we're over the police being the designated heroes in horror films. Good.
Terror Of course when right-wing redneck extremists gain access to a vampire, all they care about is how to use it to blow up or set something on fire. Kinda also like you don't get that it IS a vampire until about halfway through. Good on him for taking revenger, but the best part is they were so stupid about it, they didn't even get the chance to carry out their actual plan. And I though being seduced by them was the dumbest thing you could do.
The Craft: Legacy I chose to watch this one over the original because I heard this one was less anti-women with power. Turns out, I might've been better off with that one.
the characterizations of the other three was so weak, you might as well combine them into one character instead. I don't even know anything about their home lives. The reveal of the main character's mother I guess is big to fans of the original, but it doesn't seem to really add anything here.
As for Timmy, yes he was a jerk, but I'm not sure he deserved getting, as far as the coven knows, brainwashed. Did they even know what spell they casted on him? A Woke spell? How does that even work? Though given his coming out of the closet moment later, I could think they actually casted a bravery spell on him by mistake. And thanks to it, he finally gains the spine to throw the BS he's been taught and regurgitating all his life by the patriarchy out the window. You can certainly see potential in a subplot in how men are benefitted by feminism too, especially bi men. But instead, they cut it short by getting him killed by an asleep David Duchovny. I get the point of his villain, but it's the kind of character that needs either a down to earth approach or a campy performance, and this has neither. I gotta find better pro-witch movies.
Dark City (1998) When I felt like rewatching Body Snatchers, I knew I had to rewatch this one too. It may not be an actual horror movie, but it's visuals take inspirations from some of the earliest ones. An example being the Strangers looking like a race of nosferatu without the teeth. Though honestly, whether I knew what was going on or not, I would still kill to live in a city like this. Granted, I would appreciate there being a beach to escape to plus actual sunlight. The choice is part of the point, regardless which one I choose.
Getting back to my first sentence; In a spiritual sense, this is Invasion of the Body Snatchers in reverse. In fact, I feel that describes a lot of movies released in the late 90s. Pleasantville, Equilibrium, American Beauty, and of course, The Matrix. A world where a few pod people stop and think; "Wait, what's the point of all this? There does need to be more to life." A bit overly optimistic, especially when considering what world event comes later...and the monstrous acts we as a society did in reaction to it. Does changing the world matter if not a lot of people care enough to wake up?
Evil Dead Trap I watched this and the following movie in one day. It's amazing I never lost my lunch. Now I know what inspired Gabriel from Malignant. I don't know how they got away with making this movie back then, but I'm glad they did.
Terrifier 2 As long as you can really stomach the most brutal, bloody, and cruel kills imagined by mankind, this is a good addition to your yearly Halloween watch traditions. As long as you have the time, of course. And I didn't even like the first movie that much.
The Haunted Palace (1963) Remember last year, I said I wasn't going to watch any more Vincent Price movies? Turns out I lied, including to myself. I'm hitting the Poe films of his I haven't seen yet, starting with this one. Yes, it's not really Poe instead of Lovecraft but whatever. The titular palace certainly lives up to the title, and there are a shocking amount of faithful Lovecraft trademarks here (my favorite is the Necronomicon actually have "Necronomicon" printed on it's binding). But overall, I didn't care for it that much. I guess it's a pet peeve when I feel characters are slow to realize someone being possessed or bodyswapped. Also, kind of weird the revenge subplot just stopped halfway through. Everyone knew this was the most fun part of the movie so well, they made two better Vincent Price movies that were all about revenge after this.
The worst part is the ending. Where the servants go? I thought they were fighting Charles? Did they escape or dead? Also, if Curwen is back in control, shouldn't the revenge subplot continue? This ended too soon.
The Blob (1988) This was a mean movie the first time I watched it and it's still feels mean now. I don't know how they got away with making this in the late 80s though I can see why it bombed. I even appreciate the twist where it was a US weapon gone wrong more then I did before (Though did they have to make the human villain one of the only two black people in this movie?) This movie takes the then passable "teenage rebellion" of the original and ups the ante by saying "F the police! F the government! and F date rapists too while we're at it!"
This is the best the blob has ever looked and ever will look. (Especially in today's Hollywood). Mad respect to any movie that takes a silly and taken-for-granted monster and finds a way to show why it scared people in the first place. I'm sad there wasn't a sequel, but at the same time, I'm not sure I need one. There's been plenty of religious horror made since anyway.

Hello I ain’t dead!
I’ve watched a metric fuck ton of horror movies since my last post. Maybe I’ll talk about them, maybe I won’t. My brain is weird.
Anyway,
If you’re a fan of the V/H/S series, love found footage, or just enjoy a good ol’ horror anthology (like me,) definitely check out Shudder’s V/H/S/94.
A collection of several horror tapes appearing as though they were shot on VHS and tied together with an overarching framework in the form of a SWAT operation. These shorts were all made by different studios and directors, and are quite genius, with very low budgets and RAD practical effects. (Also not nearly as horny as the first two, which I honestly appreciated.)
Definitely a fun time to check out this spooky season!
Where to watch: Shudder
Hail Raatma.

Shocktober 2023
Here we are, folks, at the 10th annual Shocktober movie marathon. I started this little tradition (watching 31 horror movies in October) back in 2014 and I have watched 254 movies so far – please clap. To be quite honest, it's getting harder and harder to find films that are worth the while (or even just decent enough to keep me afloat while I explore the remaining corners of old classics and shlock). Nevertheless, I'm gonna give it at least this one more shot, and at month's end I'll take a look at where this enterprise is headed next.

V/H/S/94 is a great return to form. “The Subject” became a little too actiony than I prefer, but it’s fitting in a dark way that a person whose head was turned into a camera became like an FPS protagonist, complete with horror game tropes. The ending of the wraparound was also kind of...a whiplash to the mood and tone. Real people don’t talk like that. But overall, I liked it. V/H/S: Viral set a very low bar for this to surpass.

thoughts on v/h/s 94? im still not sure if i enjoyed it or not and nobody else i know has seen it
I loved it actually! when I was going through the tag trying to find gifs I saw a few people talk about how they thought it was boring and while I personally really enjoyed it I did prefer some stories to others and I can see how some people probably would find some parts boring. I did find the ending disappointing though I was expecting a little more tbh and although I liked that the monster was a vampire I was definitely not a fan of the last story "terror". You didn't ask but in order of my personal favourite to least favourite I would place the stories like this: The Subject, The Empty Wake, Storm Drain, Holy Hell, Terror.
