Post some more /horror kino/ in this vein

Joy Ride with Steve Zahn and Paul Walker is pretty comfy horror

What happened to Josh?

First three Body Snatchers versions, the John Carpenter canon, Breakfast Club. Scream 1 and 2.

Phantoms is a weird but enjoyable one. Textbook example of late 90s Miramax horror mixed with more traditional tropes, it's less meta than Kevin Williamson and less ostentatious than Rodriguez, it could have been a serious King/Lovecraft style slow burn small town body snatcher script but its clear Weinstein forced the director to pander to MTV teenagers with obvious rewrites and questionable casting, it also awkwardly shoves in references to The Thing and action scenes. It's one of the main influences behind the first Silent Hill game. I really like it but it's not something I should recommend. In one scene it can nail the slow burn small ghost town atmosphere and set up cosmic horror overtones and in the next scene it'll ruin everything with a shitty jump scare or shitty cgi.

I haven't seen the Del Toro bugs movie that got butchered by Weinstein but I assume it has similar problems. Rodriguez did reshoots on it.

I like Final Destination 1, you can tell it was made by sincere and respectful lovers of a more classic horror, the same team that wrote some of the most brilliant X-Files episodes. It just happened to came out at the time of the teen horror trend rather than cynically jumping on the band wagon.

I liked Idle Hands as a kid, but it probably aged like milk. Offspring soundtrack, characters use drugs to defeat the villain like in The Faculty, obvious influence of Evil Dead and American Werewolf. Prime Alba in skimpy clothing.

If you like video games there's the Obscure series. Mediocre RE ripoffs.

Then of course there's the Buffy TV show.

>It's one of the main influences behind the first Silent Hill game
Is that true?
SH only came out a year after phantoms, though it would've been in production for way longer before that, right? I'd imagine the book Phantoms as inspo yeah, but that film was just so lame in the end I can't imagine it inspiring anything.
>In one scene it can nail the slow burn small ghost town atmosphere
I do love that part of it.
Then it degenerates into shit.
What a horrendous waste of Peter O'Toole.

I read the Koontz book before ever watching the film, and though the spoopy beginning parts were fun (empty haunted town) as the film was, it also wasn't particularly satisfying in the latter half.

He was probly referring to the source, Dean R. Koontz book.

The way it degenerates is also why I enjoy it, it's that Miramax flavor, it's shit but I have fond nostalgia for that style. Unlike say The Mist which is a similar story done straight, but less fun. I actually like how O Toole is used, specifically because he doesn't belong here. It's part of the charm.

I can't remember if it was actually phantoms or another Koontz story but the silent hill devs based the town on the same real life location, some mining shithole ghost town. The hospital in sh1 is on Koontz street and there's an Easter egg reference to phantoms in the school bathroom.

>but the silent hill devs based the town on the same real life location, some mining shithole ghost town.
Centralia, Pennsylvania.
A real place which suffered a coal seam fire that burns to this day, causing the place to be covered by a toxic fog.
They had to demolish buildings to get rid of the final remaining residents who refused to move despite federal order to vacate due to environmental hazard, and then they all got rid of everything except the church to deter urbex types who kept going there to visit despite the warnings.
I think the church is gone now too.
Koontz has nothing to do with it.

Also there's like 2-4 still-burning coal fire towns in pennsylvania alone. The gates of hell are spoopier.

>The hospital in sh1 is on Koontz street and there's an Easter egg reference to phantoms in the school bathroom.
Oh, then disregard end of The konami writers must've been fans of Koontz then.

>The gates of hell are spoopier.
Spoopy but debunked.
I guess that's the inspo they got for the House on Haunted Hill remake then (damn near satanic doctor and an asylum full of inmates that burns down); a mishmash of that urban legend and the old 50's film with Vincent Price.

Why is it only the East Coast of the US that's haunted?
Why isn't the west coast ever spoopy?

The song for the movie was pretty right too

West coast is mundanely terrifying/demonic. Could make a case for southwestern desert spooks. Skin walkers n them.

>The song
That 15 seconds of flagpole sitta that played nonstop in the commercial. There was such a huge fucking marketing push I heard that motherfucking hard-cut clip so many times and then in the actual movie THEY STILL CUT IT SHORT.

William Sadler is a master character actor though.

I haven't even seen the movie but that late 90s sound hits me in the guts every time. Why can't we just go back bros... I remember the flagpole sitta trailer too. I'll have to watch it now.

I don't know enough American history, but whenever I think west coast spooky I think of this song by Blue Oyster Cult, I guess it's because of the reference to the Spanish, though i guess they must've had territories in the east too, right?

>This place has a history
>The Spaniards settled here
>They burned the town and fields
>They moved away from here

>I sense the darkness clearer
>I feel a presence here
>A change in the weather, I feel some evil here
>I hear some frightful noises
>I don't go out at night
>Since Bobrow's youngest daughter Disappeared from sight
>I know they'll find her some day
>They find them all that way
Maybe it's about a wendigo?

>the scene where she talks about an ocean world and the race in the pool
I thought that I had dreamt this film until I stumbled across it in the university library.

breakfast club is horror???

spanish is usa east coast? only Florida

the fog from carpenter was in the west coast

Was it? I thought that was straight up new england shit. Maybe that was spanish shit, too.

fictional coastal town of Antonio Bay, California

i watched this one at 8yo and didn't want to go to sleep because i was sure there's a parasite-infested corpse in my bed, good times.

Came here to post this. Pure kino.

The Fog was good.
I liked how it was limited to one town, rather than all these world wide existential threat thingies. Bit more interesting than just a haunted house/site.
Liked how it all took place over one night.

Fucking hell the remake was utter shit.
Even milfy Selma Blair couldn't make up for that milquetoast shoehorned "love is eternal" plot and that horrific glowy ghost cgi shit.
No! Give me my ship of vengeful lepers ffs. They don't need any other reason to be pissed off.

Contrariwise, Candyman did the the whole "love is endless" thing 100% right, and even then the antagonist is unrepentant and cannot be pacified because he went beyond just "i'm a spade spook out for revenge" to "I want immortality".
I can't think of another horror film where the antagonist/monster/ghost whatever actually shows some kind of development, even if that's not explicitly shown during the course of the film and only referenced.

It's more interesting than the "tape recorder" type haunting, where the entity is just doomed to do the same thing over and over.
Candyman went beyond the conventional former mortal evil entity. Also he had some pimpin threads.

Also, the candyman soundtrack is pure ear kino throughout

>late nineties teen horror movie
>PARANOIA PARANOIA EVERYBODYS COMING TO GET ME starts playing

The Faculty uses the same archetypes but in a horror setting

what I dont like about candyman is that he kills randomly instead of following his gimmick

You mean he kills others besides the one that summoned him? Did he do that?
Or did he only do that when Helen was involved? I can't remember.
I don't mind that so much,if that's what you mean, as it breaks the whole
>a ghost has to follow arbitrarily defined rules for no real reason
thing.

he never kills anyone that say his name five times
the psiquiatrist doesn't say it not one time, the black female friend only twice, the girl at the begining only once and the dog clearly not even one, also the kid that got his dick cut in a bathroom with no mirrors

Is this actually any good? I enjoyed The faculty and have never seen this.

She looked really fucking sexy in this.

Top notch comment. "Harvest moon" is excellent.

Those are the bangs of a 7 year old boy with a bowl cut

Blue Oyster Cult is excellent.

Imma have to watch that shit again now.

it's a good movie with a great villain and the score is amazing but you shouldn't explain a gimmick that you won't use

Feast happened in the west coast

>the kid that got his dick cut in a bathroom with no mirrors

That one was done by a copycat Candyman.

Oh, I thought the copycat victim was another
