And in some non-Jason horror news I saw that HBO Max is working on a It prequel series called "Welcome to Derry", it's supposed to be set in the Skarsgard version of It with the director of the movies being one of the showrunners.

Wonderful. More graceless jump scares and TV-quality CGI headed our way.

I'm not gonna bash NOTLD 91, I really love it and I think it has some superiorities over the original, but the original is a classic for a reason. I could never suggest 91 over the original for a newbie to zombie movies.

The same way that Day is far superior to Dawn, but I'd probably put Dawn before Day in "Babby's First Intro To Zombie Flicks"

I was being a little hyperbolic, its true though everything post notld 91 that romero had a hand in was garbage.
I agree about Day over dawn too.

Fuck Scream.

If I remember right, they were supposed to actually film around different locations in New York like the Statue of Liberty but it got too expensive for the studio, so they only have like one or two actual shots there and did the rest with the boat and some filming in Vancouver.

That's it exactly. They sadly didn't have the budget to do much New York stuff. Honestly I feel like if they changed the name to something entirely not New York related, the movie wouldn't get half the hate since the New York thing is what most people hone in on.

I can't think of many horror films that were actually scary. Alien was, even though unintentionally.
The one film I had to stop watching was Wolf Creek, but that may have been because I worked with a guy who looked and behaved exactly the antagonist. Like, to the point where he was known as "Wolf Creek Lastname".

I finally watched The Conjuring recently, and at first I was not that impressed, but then I remember that it is a 100% true story and everything you see onscreen is a 1:1 recreation of a real thing that actually happened, and that is pretty scary when you think about it.

If there is a spinoff about the toy monkey with the accordion, I would want to watch that. Toy monkeys with accordions or cymbals are scarier than living monkeys, and living monkeys are pretty scary.

Official poster for the show. Coming next year. And it's going to be a prequel to the first film (supposedly). I give it 50/50 odds because, like I said, I'm a huge fan of Hannibal and that is my favorite horror show (surpassing even Tales From the Crypt for me) so I will give this a chance.

Bruno, bubuleh... that poster makes no sense if it's supposed to be a prequel. Jason was a grotesque and lanky kid in the first film before turning into buff hockey mask Voorhees in the third sequel. Still, it'll be interesting to see how it turns out.
 
The only things I remember about the '09 remake of Friday the 13th are the annoying characters, and the retarded shaky cam and jumpcut editing during the scenes of violence, damn near ruining them. Shaky cam is the worst technique ever introduced to cinema.

I blame Cloverfield for the shaky cam shit

yeah New Nightmare was an infinitely better meta movie

Late but I'd say Sleepaway Camp 2: Unhappy Campers and Stagefright (1987) are the definitive meta slashers.

Edit: I decided to re-watch Demons 2. This is technically my 3rd watch and what helped is that it was hosted by Joe Bob Briggs who can pretty much elevate just about anything. And I had more fun with it this time. Definitely an inferior sequel but not a godawful sequel. The first Demons easily earns a 9/11 out of 10 right? But Demons 2 I'd give a 7/10 to. Not bad but just lower your expectations.

In other words, we don't have to worry about them fucking the series up.

I wanna say Jason Goes to Hell was so weird and bad that they can't possibly do worse. But we got Halloween Ends which is the worst film in the franchise, so it can always get worse.

At least Jason Goes to Hell was as fun and entertaining as it is bad. Halloween Ends was just a full-blown disaster

Killer clowns aren't allies. You think a psychotic killing clown would be nicer?

There was a shitty article trend trying to hype up it part 2 and pennywise as a"queer" movie before it came out when it was about to release a few years ago only for the film to come out and open with pennywise "saving" a gay guy from drowning due to some thugs tossing him off a bridge before brutally killing and eating him himself. The scene is in the book too hilariously.

Later on in the movie there's also an entire scene dedicated to pennywise trolling a dude for being gay and afraid to tell his friends with a whole ass musical number.

I don't understand why the fuck the media latched onto pennywise as a "queer ally/queer rep" for a while. He's a shapeshifting light based space alien that decided to take the form of a fucking clown and indiscriminately kill and eat people (mostly children too). It does this not because it needs to, but because it finds that shit really fucking funny.
