Quick questions for the Horror-Thread posters:
- Do you consume horror content on youtube?
- If Yes, what kind of content? (ie: reviews, recaps, previews, news, scary stories, true crime, etc)
- Is there any content-type you wish there was more of?

I've been juggling ideas for a horror-focused youtube page, but it seems like a very small amount of creators get a lot of views and everyone else struggles to breakout. I have an idea but I think it's probably too niche to get too big, so I'm wondering what everyone else is consuming that engages with horror like we do in this thread.

My idea would be a channel that recaps foreign horror movies, since so many people don't want to read subtitles. But I'd aim for obscure stuff (like Bluebeard and Record of Sweet Murder) as much or more than the popular foreign horror (like When Evil Lurks or Train to Busan).
Nothing on YouTube for me. Maybe the occasional horror short every now and then. Some of these reviewers be pushing me away, lol.

The Big Picture is the only movie-related podcast I check for these days and they usually do movie drafts for any given year of cinema. Their drafts consist of all genres and not just horror though. Most of the titles they bring up are well-known, but it’s cool stumbling upon those unsung gems. It would be cool if someone could do that for horror in general, and narrow it down by decade or even year. Perhaps someone already has and I’m just not aware.

Caught ‘Heretic’ on Tuesday. Would classify it as a thriller more than a horror. Started off hot and slowly loses steam throughout, I thought. Hugh was cookin’ though. Not the biggest fan of his, but he clearly had a lot of fun shooting it. Performance had me feeling knots in my stomach one moment and crackin’ up the next.

Could see why A24 picked it up. At the same time, there were many points where I felt like I was being lectured to despite the film not being as clever as it thinks it is. The set-up had me fully engaged though that I wouldn’t mind paying the flick another watch someday off that alone. It really did a fine job ratcheting up the tension even if it was very dialogue based.
