I’m good - after hearing about what happened to Dijimon, and how they did his character dirty; that’s not even on my watch list anymore.

So I take it that this new “son” movie - the new cop trope is delusional police officer falls in love with main character. His attachment to her is taking me out of the movie but I’m already halfway through. Romantic connections between strangers in trauma situations, have no place in horror movies
I can’t sleep - what are some good horror based stories that can be read to me like on audible or YouTube @storyteller ? If you know could help a chronic insomniac? I use books to help me relax
Watched that over the weekend and really enjoyed it. Horror comedies are hit or miss for me. this one was a hit.

The fear street movies on Netflix are good. Entertaining dialogue…
I give it a 8/10 both movies so far my girl gave 94 an 8 and the second movie a 7
my girl appreciates the vintage vibes and she likes 94 over the second one. Can’t wait to see how the trilogy closes out.

I go with short stories for my main horror fiction. Unfortunately, my FAVORITE current author doesn't have English translations on audible, but he does have some decent fanmade read throughs to listen to (and youtube has a lot of pretty good options for audio stories).
I read these joints originally, so it may warp how I view the audios but this stuff gets me
Ligotti is my personal fav. But there are also some quality readers of creepy pastas too which I think get a bad wrap in horror circles. They're the found footage horror of fiction writing, easy enough that you run into a ton of lazy efforts but the good ones are LEGIT.
And here's the first Hell Raiser movie's inspiration - The Tale of the Hellbound Heart free (there is a better version but you'd need to use an audible credit and I'm not sure that's worthwhile)

Fear Street 1978 took me a bit to get through just because of some distractions in the real world. That had me watching it in installments. I remember being a little bit underwhelmed at the opening when I watched, to the extent that I was feeling like I'd lean toward the first installment ('94). But the second and third sitdowns for me were essentially getting right into the action...and the action is really good.
I linger on stakes and threats when I talk this horror ish. If I'm certain a character will survive, then the tension doesn't land and the scares don't hit. '94 had too many occasions where a character was dead to rights but the slasher would push them over to go after someone else. It felt inconsistent and kinda took away from the threat until the latter portion of the movie where there were some really gnarly kills that boosted everything. '78 though...the bodycount is crazy and characters (for the most part) don't get away with their poor choices. Whether it's kids playing capture the flag or a counselor trying to help; if the characters make a mistake then they get the axe. I like that. There was also a bonus of being just far enough removed from watching '94 and the introduction to this one that I couldn't remember which of the main group was supposed to be the final girl (there are really only two options to be fair).
Anyway, characters did still do some dumb, plot convenient stuff. But it's more forgivable when they get murked for the foolishness at least. On the downside, '94 had more creative kills imo. But overall, both Fear Street movies have been really fun watches. They're a bit tropey but out of love for the genre. The nostalgia stuff can get overblown but it never feels like a crutch. There's a legitimate plot running through these that I'm enjoying as it unwinds. Big thumbs up.
Here's one I'd categorize as a hidden gem...mainly because it's a portion of horror that I don't usually like, but I got through this one well...Even Lambs have Teeth
So, it's exactly what it looks like. A revenge horror with a bit of torture porn mixed in and those are two subgenres of horror that I typically don't vibe with. But it has a very fast run time that allows it to avoid being too gratuitous (well...there are a couple of parts that get dangerously close) while maintaining the more entertaining aspects of a revenge film. They take around 20 minutes running a normal movie, laying some foundations for what will transpire, and then setting you up for the rest of the ride. The abduction horrors take up a shorter portion and they are DARK. But because the film flies through it and thanks to some hope that was laid out early on, it doesn't feel as overblown as some other films in this genre can get. Then the rest of the ride is straight-up revenge fantasy and you are cheering it all on.
Downside...shallow characters are a necessity to fly through the movie as quick as this goes. Everyone kinda fits into a trope with just enough backstory to make them work; but the performances are good enough that you like who you're supposed to and loath who you should hate. This is still torture and revenge porn, so expect some nasty gory stuff along the way that could be gratuitous for the squeamish. Also, be prepared to suspend disbelief in the name of enjoying the ride. Characters do some dumb ish and poor communication is a driving force for like half the plot. But still...this wound up being an enjoyable one. It has some striking kills and moves fast enough to be a quick throw-on that feeds a horror craving. It's a solid time passer.

Eat Locals is pretty good. Vampires have a once a century meeting ambushed by special forces, but it's all done with a quirky humor. Nice old granny with big guns catching bodies because she's a vampire type ish...

Freaky came out not too long ago and was better than I expected too. Vince Vaughn plays a Jason-type killer that winds up in a body switch with a High School girl. So it's Vince Vaughn possessed by a teenage girl while trying to get his body back from the murderous teenager.
