Hey, if any of you like to you know....read horror novels? Been meaning to mention this fella to you fine folks....

Bentley Little is a must read. Not as well known as Stephen King or Peter Straub but he is excellent. He writes about everyday stuff and turns it into some really good stuff....

Can be a bit sick and twisted. You have been warned.

Any specific recommendations?

I'm planning on binging when all the episodes are out, but the creator was heavily influenced by The Thing.

From what I've read the first season was inspired by HP Lovecraft.

Alaskan Horror Story

Taking over HBO’s ‘True Detective’ series for ‘Night Country,’ showrunner Issa López relied on the classics, from John Carpenter’s ‘The Thing’ to David Fincher’s ‘Se7en’

Being inspired by The Thing and Lovecraft isn't necessarily a bad thing, eh?
Here's hoping they stick the landing.

Producer of Black Phone (meh, I thought it was stupid AF) and Megan (ruined... nice job PG13... they even went softer than a penis in front of a 100 year old woman on the unrated R version).. this is a hard skip.

This looks horrible. Teddy bear goes freak mode... or we introduce some stupid paranormal into it with dumbass loud explosion noises to elicit jump scares. Fuck this movie. I hope it earns $20. It will naturally be PG13 so teenage men can have an opportunity to stick their hands in places to the 'scared whoman' they're with.

Sorry, I just think this is crap. F tier.

True Detective Season 4

Spoiler

The season had some interesting ideas, but it just didn't stick the landing in solving the main mystery. The actual perpetrators of the killings around which the season is centered came completely out of left field, and it makes zero sense that a group of 20 armed women would be able storm a hi-tech lab, kidnap a bunch of scientists and then leave zero evidence behind. The main detectives must be really bad at their jobs.

The story had a not-so-fleshed out supernatural aspect to it, but it seems like they wanted a natural explanation behind the killings.

Also, the idea that a bunch of scientists are going to cold-blood murder an activist woman is just not realistic, even if she destroyed some of their work.

In the end, some solid scenes, some good acting but the season overall was unsatisfactory. 6/10

Yeah, I thought it was just ok.

Nice eerie connection to The Thing.
The best detective of the bunch was young Pete Prior.

Most interesting character might have been Rose.

A horror movie doesnt have to be R all the time to be good.

Everyone on social media who doesnt know any better thought it was real, though lol.

He has the look (kinda), but not the voice or personality.

But after V, who would have thought Robert Englund would become a horror icon?
