It’s always mentioned lol. I feel like we’re all trying to stay away from it cause we watch it every year. Even tho it’s probably the best horror movie of all timeI think that was mentioned previously

Thanks! Will check it outFunny you mention that. I know you love Craven and I thought of you when I read this
Why the Meta-Horror Message of Wes Craven's 'New Nightmare' Cuts Deeper Than Ever
and there’s a link in it to a very dope interview Buzzfeed did with him before he passed away
I’ll throw this and scanners up later.@Flex Grossman what about The Thing?
Scanners is way better to me. Some people love videodrome but I’m not crazy about it despite its ambitious vision...@Flex Grossman I want to add a Cronenberg movie but I'm torn between two choices...
Scanners vs VideoDrome
Hey regulars and lurkers....help me pick. And leave the Fly outta this, I want something at least a bit more obscure.
I like rabid. Haven’t seen shiversScanners is way better to me. Some people love videodrome but I’m not crazy about it despite its ambitious vision...
I have never seen Rabid or Shivers, might be worth it for some of us to check it out?
Glad you checked it out. I love this movie despite its silliness lolHad never seen Body Bags and the combo of Hooper and Carpenter got me buying in out the gate, so I checked that one out fast. I'm a sucker for a good anthology series and this one was...decent. Straight out the gate, Carpenter sets the tone at the defacto Crypt Keeper (Morgue Keeper?) with a sense of humor that slips into damn near the whole movie. It's three horror stories each with some familiar faces and wild scenarios that blend scares with laughs...especially the second story about a man getting hair treatment. The stories themselves are a mixed bag. The Gas Station is the best blending of the humor and the horror, my favorite of the trio. Hair was too ridiculous of a premise to be anything but comedic. Then Eye was the most serious of the bunch from start to finish, plus had a really fun performance from Mark Hamill. Matter of fact, fun is the best way to put this joint. It's not scary, it's gory and wild and funny but rarely does it actually hit scare mode except for the early vibe of the Gas Station plot. But if you're okay just having fun with horror elements, then this movie is entertaining. The cast all seem like they're enjoying themselves hamming it up; the plots play on familiar horror set ups but still have a fun spin on them; and you've got John Carpenter playing an undead morgue zombie dancing around the bodybags and looking for stories to share...it's a good time.
It's a 3/5 for me off the humor and the cameos being great but if you just want to be scared, I'd say look elsewhere.
For another fun anthology that aims more toward the scary side, I'd suggest Southbound. David Bruckner's part in that anthology is REALLY great.
