  1. In addition to my 2025 ranking above - here are a few I’ve watched recently that I don’t see mentioned that often and a few my kids enjoy for Halloween every year: - Strange Harvest - if you enjoy mockumentaries/found footage this is definitely worth a watch. Production value and acting is a step above what you would typically see in this subgenre. 6.5/10 (rent) - Braindead/Dead Alive - I hadn’t seen this in probably 20 years and holy shit what a ride. Peter Jackson was in to some weird shit. One of the goriest movie ever made - but in a lovable way?? 8.5/10 (hard to find) - Beast of War - Low budget Australian b-movie but hard to go wrong with WW2 and a terrifying shark. Acting was pretty good as well. 6/10 (rental) - Match - I didn’t like this as much as some others on this thread, but still worth a free watch on Tubi. The protagonist was just too worthless and it fizzled towards the end for me. 4.5/10 (Tubi) - The Long Walk - One of my favorite SK books and this lived up to the hype for me. 8/10 (Rental) - Rituals (1977) - If you are a fan of Deliverance, this is a must-see. 7.5/10 (Prime, Tubi) - Good Boy - I enjoyed this for what it was - props for bringing something original to the table and it had some legit scares. 6.5/10 (Rent) - V/H/S Halloween - probably 2nd best in the series for me. I think if this got a theater release and more exposure it would be big for the masses. 7.5/10 (Shudder) - The Pit (1981) - If you are in to early 80s weirdness, this will scratch that itch. 6.5/10 (Tubi) - Cure - I mentioned this before in this thread. If you enjoy slow-burn Asian horror this is an absolute must see. I lost sleep over this shit. 10/10 (rent) - Frewaka - One of the better folk horror movies I’ve seen in awhile. 7.5/10 (shudder) - Pater Noster and the Mission of Light - In to extremely low budget crazy-ass cult shit? This is for you. 7/ 10 (rent) - The Coffee Table - I don’t even know what to say here. Easily the most uncomfortable subject matter on this list. It’s a dark comedy so that gives it some wiggle room I guess? Just….I warned you. 6.5/10 (shudder, Tubi) - Red Rooms - Not necessarily horror but one of the best movies of the last couple years imo. I’ve seen it 3 times and end up having a different take every time. 9.5/10 (shudder) - Ghost Watch - If you havent seen this, do it. This was filmed as a news special back in the 80s - similar to Dateline or 20/20 and it freaked an entire country out. 9/10 (Shudder) - Freddie Freako - Homage to Ghoulies, Puppet Master, even Garbage Pail Kids (but really good). Same director that did the great Psycho Gorman (must see) and The Void. 7/10 (Shudder, Tubi) - Candyland - Lot lizards getting picked off by a serial killer. Lots of nudity and violence. This was a true hidden gem. 6.5/10 (Shudder, Tubi) - The Innocents (1961) - Absolute classic and holds up well. My teenager wasn’t excited about it but ended up loving it. 9.5/10 (rent) - Trick r Treat - My families Halloween tradition. 7.5/10 (Max) - The Orphanage - Another one we try to revisit every couple years. 9/10 (rent) - Lake Mungo - #3 on the Wutang family tradition list. People hate this or love it. I think it’s awesome. 8/10 (Tubi) Here are some personal favorite FF movies that you might not have heard of: - Milk & Serial - Butterfly Kisses - Jeruzulem - Delivery: The Beast Within (slow but brutal) - Europa Report - The Tunnel - Borderlands - Wer - Afflicted - Missing: Life of Belle (Not great but the ending is shocking) - There are Monsters - The Sacrement - Taking of Deborah Logan
  2. Just got a ticket to the Joe Bob’s Halloween Spooktacular at the Texas Theatre in Dallas for tomorrow night. 7 pm to 7 am.
  3. That was kind of awesome.
  4. Missing the playoffs is a lost season. They are not making the playoffs so…..
  5. This is a favorite after multiple viewings through the years. Always a fun family discussion around the witches broom as a phallic symbol and it representing Thomasin’s sexual liberation at the end of the movie. Also - Black Phillip is creepy af.
  6. The idea that CDC would repeat sins of the past is shortsighted. He has shown no signs of that. I’m not saying losing Sark is the best thing - but football Armageddon? Nah.
  7. I watched a movie last night called Beast of War. Australian WW2 movie with a killer shark? Hell yes! I think they did an amazing job for what really is a low budget B movie. They chose to go with practical effects and the shark is F’n terrifying.
  8. They couldn’t wait to get rid of him in Calgary. Why would we hire a guy that barely made it two years there? Anyone know? Just because he was an assistant for the team that kicked our ass?
  9. Looks like it’s getting a major theatrical release in 2026.
  10. For horror fans I cannot recommend Kanopy enough. It’s free with a library card (limited) or use your kid’s student account (unlimited). The library is top notch - and you can really dig in to some obscure indie/classic/foreign stuff if that’s your thing. You could just use Tubi and Kanopy for a very long time and be happy and spend nothing.
  11. I would counter that Jason Kidd is the Sark of NBA coaches. [emoji1787] Having the kid run the point is insanity. Also - fuck the Spurs and that alien that have. That shit ain’t fair. He could score 100.
  12. Cure, Battle of Algiers, In the Mood for Love (4k), Memories of Murder, Rushmore. Thanks for the heads up! Edit - Wes Anderson Archives (10 films) for $250 if that’s your thing.
  13. Smile 2 is far superior imo.
  14. Fucker You’re a fucker
  15. Just started a rewatch with my kid. Tight tight tight!!
  16. I posted about Preston in the other thread. He made the Jumbotron every game we went to last year as well.
  17. I thought this was as good as anything he’s done. Can’t wait for the rest. Tim Robinson’s Office Space.
  18. V/H/S Halloween was indeed wild.
  19. This seems like a conspiracy to make sure the UK hates the NFL.
  20. If you are not familiar with Curry Barker I think you will be. For $800 he made an amazing found footage movie called Milk & Serial. A YouTuber I really like and respect - SpookyAstronauts - came to Austin for FantasticFest and watched his new movie called “Obsession” and thought it was one of the best horror films she had ever seen. I can’t wait to check it out.
  21. Wish we could change this thread to Asian movies. I want to talk about Cure (Japanese). Holy shit I’m not sure I’ve ever felt like that after a movie. I felt hypnotized.
  22. Agree with all this. A really cool indie project with a few jumps scares. Would definitely recommend checking it out - but temper your expectations. Post-credit thing was great.
  23. Loved Strange Darling. I think I did a similar list for 2024. As far as 28 Years Later - I think once I see the new one it will make me appreciate this one more. I hated the way it ended.
  24. 2025 horror - 1. Sinners 10/10 2. Weapons 9.5/10 3. Bring Her Back 9/10 4. Companion 8/10 5. Ugly Stepsister 7.5/10 6. Final Destination Bloodlines 7/10 7. Dangerous Animals 7/10 8. 28 Years Later 6.5/10 9. The Monkey 6.5/10 10. Death of a Unicorn 6.5/10 11. Heart Eyes 6/10 12. Night of the Reaper 6/10 13. M3gan 2.0 6/10 14. Clown in a Cornfield 6/10 15. Rule of Jenny Pen 5.5/10 16. Locked 5/10 17. Marshmallow 5/10 18. Wolfman 4.5/10 19. Until Dawn 4/10 20. House of Eden 4/10 Haven’t seen Together, The Shrouds, The Long Walk, or Strange Harvest but I’ve heard good things about each. I’ll post again with some other great movies I’ve seen this year that weren’t released in 2025.
  25. Necrobump. Halfway through season 1 and enjoying it. People seem to circle jerk over this show as much as TW/BB/GOT so I had to check it out. Already thinking I’m going to need to take notes.
