Sweeping Strings 2,358 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 I plan to do my Hallowe'en listening and viewing on Saturday night, as it's the one this year that suits me best on which to do so. First up will be a Neil Brand Radio 4 prog about the Hammer movie scores. Then, Host (an hour-long thing about a seance conducted over Zoom during lockdown that goes horribly wrong) followed by Stakeland (a post-apocalyptic vampire action-horror) then the night will be rounded off with One Cut Of The Dead, a Japanese comedy-horror about the cast and crew of a zombie B-movie being attacked by 'actual' zombies. These are all first-time watches for me. All accompanied by glasses of blood-red Shiraz. The lights will be off ... not only does it add to the atmosphere, it has the added benefit of making trick-or-treaters think that nobody's in (yes, I am a grumpy old man ... what of it, lol?).

Well ... I enjoyed the radio prog and Host (jump scares aplenty), but Stakeland was just OK (think The Walking Dead with vamps rather than zombies for the overall tone ... maybe if I'd seen it back when it was released in 2011 I'd have thought more of it) and I found One Cut Of The Dead so smugly meta that I bailed halfway through. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,344 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Halloween was hardly reflected in my viewing and listening this year. I only saw 1922, other than that a bunch of romcoms and family films. Started my personal Home Alone OST assembly today. I'm not a horror person.

Naïve Old Fart 9,520 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I'm about to have my annual screening of THE CURSE OF FENRIC. That's the extended version, remixed in 5.1, I'll have you know. It's not typical Hallowe'en fare, but it's spooky enough for my delicate disposition, and it's among the greatest of all Classic DWs.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Midnight is my pick for the best episode RTD ever penned and probably the most genuinely scary episode of DW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeping Strings 2,358 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Watched The Changeling last night ... atmospheric and melancholy, with one particular absolute jolter of a scare involving a mirror. Bespin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try watching THE WEB OF FEAR when you're 5 years old. Yetis in the Underground: trouser-wettingly, pant-shitingly scary.

I love this movie! It's a classy true horror movie with a great actor, I remember the story is very sad, you are right, the atmosphere of this film is very creepy.

mstrox 6,651 Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 I don’t think there’s a Mothersbaugh thread, and I doubt this score merits its own full thread - but Disney released the score to Halloweentown on Friday. https://filmmusicreporter.com/2023/08/31/mark-mothersbaughs-halloweentown-score-to-be-released/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
