Thanks! I have to go through these. I think I've seen quite a few of these, but definitely some I have not, so I'm copying this off...have you seen The Creep series?
Cool! I just looked it up and I had no idea they made an actual Creep TV series. That's so cool. XD would you recommend it? I guess you would since you mentioned it haha.
It's definitely enjoyable. Maybe not as good as the movies, and gets into a bit more lore about him than I think we really need to know, but...still, I've seen far worse.
My tolerance for rather low-quality horror is pretty high. I'll watch really low-budget movies with not much coherence or plot or acting skills, all the way up to things deemed more "respectable" by general audiences, too... :)
Nice! Reminds me a bit of the later seasons of The White Vault. First two seasons: masterpieces. Everything after that starts to over explain a little too much. Still enjoyable, but it just explains too much and kinda cheapens the universe. Have you listened to the White Vault? It's a radioplay/podcast that takes a lot of inspiration from The Thing. It's really good! Well... the first two seasons are. XD
You sound a lot like one of my colleagues who has an endless love for shit tier horror movies. XD the worse they are the happier he is. If the movies are worse than Manos: The Hands of Fate, he is in heaven xD he used to make movie nights at work where people could join and watch horrible horror movies on a big screen. Man, I miss him xD
I will definitely check it out. I need to catch up on Archive 81 and The Magnus Archives, too.
Haha! I don't know about "love", per se. :) I usually power through for at least a one-time viewing, more like. I usually like the "better" movies, if you will, but I won't turn my nose up at the ones that the cultural gatekeepers tend to look down on. Meaning, there is a certain kind of horror movie watcher that seems to need a permission structure to watch horror movies. If the zeitgeist says something like "Get Out" is okay, then they'll watch it. Conversely, there are a lot of contrarians that tend to look down on PG-13 movies with jump scares aimed at teens and the popcorn crowd, and I think a lot of those are just fine in many cases.
Me, I'm pretty easy about it all. I'm just so happy there is so much content to select from now, both in what is coming out, and being able to watch comfort food classics any time I want...also getting my hands on foreign films or "cult films" has never been easier as well...there was a time where someone would mention something to you - IRL, for the most part, or maybe in the early days on a BBS or on USENET and you'd have to see if you could track it down at a video store or see if there was some catalog you'd send away for it...and that was usually way out of reach for me, when it came to both time and money.
Makes sense! I tend to prefer good films too. I can watch a bad horror flick now and again, but I do prefer movies that want something from me. I have a few people I used to refer to for movie recommendations on youtube. Not because I agreed with their tastes always, but because they were pretty good at finding movies I hadn't heard of and since I knew their tastes I would also know approximately what I would think about this or that film. Haven't really kept myself updated on the horror landscape in recent years because life is busy. That has bit me in the ass a few times.
Most recently, I goofed and drug my boyfriend to the cinema to watch The Monkey because I had heard that it was super scary and very creative. I must have been trolled because that film was probably the worst Stephen King movie I have seen since The Dark Tower. Holy shit. If it wasn't for the fact that we had bought tickets to see it, we would have left after the the babysitters funeral. Holy shit it was awful. It was the worst kind of horror comedy. I'm sure you know what I mean.
