I'm quite stoned, and the violence is barely more than "woah this is the UNRATED DVD of the hollywood franchise" idea of "insane over the top"

I don't think it's insane over the top violence in a disturbing exploitation film gore porn way. I more mean that it's over the top violence in a Doom or Mortal Kombat way.

I love Beyond the Black Rainbow and Mandy. Hoping Cosmatos' next movie is great.

It's Kristin Stewart, Oscar Isaac (although TBF, he has actually done some decent stuff) and the chick from Scarlet Witch. So...yeah.

There's a double meaning in the title, because it also has a man's D in it.

My favourite horrors go as follows:
- Gremlins / Gremlins 2: The New Batch are really good films if you want to get into horror stuff, because if you are also into comedies, you might enjoy those, the original Gremlins is little scarier and heck, I even almost cried back when I first watched it via an ITV recording I recorded using my old Sky+HD box back in December 2018 (when I was just 11), just before Christmas Eve (Christmas Day for Polish people), it was so scary and good that I almost cried, the sequal gets better because you get an intro with Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, The Gremlins singing New York, New York, you name it, it's literally that good, I also remember watching the The Keith & Paddy Picture Show episode which parodies the original Gremlins, that was kinda a good one as well
- House (or Hausu, if you want to call it that) is also a good film, plus a very good one from the 70s at that, the effects and green screen are wicked impressive despite being 1977, the music is also good, being composed by a band of all composers lol (though to be clear, this was before Maximum Overdrive where AC/DC composed the soundtrack to it, Maximum Overdrive was released in 1986 while House was released in 1977, so about an 9 year age gap between each other)
- Audition is another good Japanese horror, it starts out reletively normal but then near the end, it turns into like a crazy BDSM Euro Guro fetish type snuff film, you can tell by the main antagonist's nurse outfit suit she wears, very fetish like shit, right?, but however the gore is well done, it's really that crazy, you should go give it a watch
- Doki Doki Literature Club! is a great game, once again, it literally starts normal, but as you soon play it, the more insane it gets, and in fact, I have... well, I don't want to embaress myself with this one, but DDLC is a good game tho im simply gonna say
Honorable Mentions:
- MiSide: I've only played the demo to this game after one of my friends on Steam recommended the game to me via DMs, but from the looks of it from the demo I played, it seems like a damn good horror game, it definately gives out some spooks, lets just say that, and Mita... my oh my is she hiding some secrets in that closet while I was playing cards with her, then her face turned evil and... that was it, that was literally the end of demo lmao, but it does look like a good horror game, and im gonna say to this to Bill Jensen: You're definately going to hell for gooning to Mita!
- Baldi's Basics: I haven't played it in full but dude, it's kinda a fun game, don't get me wrong, collecting all the Notebooks is a pain in the ass in the Story Mode tho, just use cheats or play it in Endless Mode instead like me
I would've loved to mention The Penis Men 3dmm series by my good friend, Cyruss, because they are a personal gem of mine and hell, I even helped in and voiced acted for in the last 2 movies, The Beast Awakens and Courtroom of Madness, but they don't count since they are not "official" media, but I thought I'd mention them here just they are such a gem to me

What helps normal people for that is that people saw a lot of certain basic types like instant decapitation, crushing, blood splashes, out-of-frame censors, and so on. Meanwhile things like head bashing, eye pokes, teeth, fingernails, and the like are so rare that a threshold isn't built. I still think about that Ren and Stimpy episode where they were pulling off their teeth and the gum threads, and that wasn't even played as horror.
Not counting over-the-top gore like Final Destination Bloodlines and that old Mortal Kombat where it isn't serious and won't gross out people. Bring Her Back has a few scenes where it will easily gross out a lot of people but horror fans will go "holy shit how did they do the practical effects of that".
Meanwhile -to add on your complaint- you got something that should be obvious but wasn't... used to its potential. Evil Dead Rise has marketing that was all on casuals going 'that cheesegrater scene'. The obviousness is there, so of course people will get thinking. But in the actual movie: one quick scene. No skin strips or anything. Just a poor practical blood sticker. And the injury is forgotten about immediately after. Its literally nothing.

Should they make a Pennywise Vs movie? Which horror icon should they pair It up with?

Make a VS game ala Marvel VS Capcom but entirely with Stephen King characters. Let's get The Children of the Corn VS Pennywise. Or, the Green Goblin mac truck from Maximum Overdrive VS Christine.

I'm kind of baffled by this. Won't it just be an endless parade of Pennywise killing characters, since the Losers are the only ones who actually defeat him? What kind of story is there to tell?
I watched Lake Mungo after hearing people hype it for years and it was disappointing. It's not scary, just boring and kind of sad.

Probably a lot of episodes will be "look how bad the 1960s were" as we already saw that one woman avoided making eye contact with the black family (they will definitely include the Black Spot being burned down as the 2017 adaptation had it happen in 1962). I'm guessing one of the girls from the Not-Losers Club will come out as lesbian.

I meant Deadly Spawn didn't copy its monsters from Slugs.
If Pennywise really wants to scare people, he should turn into something REALLY evil, like institutional transphobia.

One irritation of the ongoing glut of remakes, reboots, sequels, prequels and so on has been all of the needless prequels, it seems like every month I learn about some prequel tv series that aired on streaming or cable, etc. that was meant to cash in on some franchise or series or film you haven't thought about in years that was greenlit, produced and then cancelled after a season.
Like, not long ago I was informed that there was a prequel series on Paramount Plus, based on Grease, that was all about what the founders of the girl gang were up to in high school and as far as streaming service sludge goes, probably is a contender for a Top Ten list of "most needless prequels to anything" and "mostly needless entries in 'franchises'". This thing came and went with little to no notice, cancelled after one ten episode season, as seems to happen with a lot of this reboot/remake/soft reboot/sequel/prequel/spin-off junk out there. They eke out a season, maybe before the plug is pulled and the only audiences seem to be the sorts of people who obsessively post entries for these shows on fan-wikis and TVTropes.
Maybe Stephen King's name attached to this show will be enough to draw in watchers, or maybe it will be another blink-and-you-missed-it mediocrity.

in the wake of the oscar success of Flow, a prequel to Sleepwalkers of an anthology series telling the stories of the other, NOT vampire cats in the neighborhood
actually that could be cool now that I think about it, like Felidae or something

Soon to be an original series on one of those "TV channels" that play celebrity news and such on the little gas pump screens at some service stations.
