@YesThatVCharles I adore Forbidden Zone!

There’s nothing secret about my love for terrible films…

@larrykingundead @nyquillionaire Oh it’s a disaster zone now. No arguments there.

@BryanBaugh @nyquillionaire As bad as here and IG are, DA is way worse. Wasn't always that way but the stolen content, posting results from Google Image Search, broken filtered search features which used to be effective now are pointless.

is there ever going to be an artist friendly widely used social media platform again or are we all doomed forever and ever

YES!! Still my all time favorite fantasy adventure film. I have other favorites in this genre that are very near and dear to my heart (especially Sword and the Sorcerer) but Conan is the fantasy film I measure all the others by. I will confess The Two Towers and the first 5 or 6 seasons of Game of Thrones fought hard for that position and gave it a run for its money. But the dust has settled on that and Conan still stands atop them all, for me.

@SwordsmenElite I liked black and white movies when I was 10 years old. Dracula, Frankenstein, King Kong, the Wolf Man, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, The Invisible Man… a whole bunch of them. I’m offended that you were not as sophisticated as me when you were 10.😂

@BryanBaugh what offends me is the guy tells you that it's not a werewolf movie and your response is "I don't care." i didn't like black and white movies when I was 10 years old. then I became an adult

@larrykingundead @SwordsmenElite 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@SwordsmenElite @BryanBaugh "--I will never read it" Well it's not like you can read in the first place mongo.

Oh… Wolfen.😒 I saw this movie on HBO a couple years after it came out. So probably 82 or 83. Being a kid and hoping to see another great early 80s special effects creature (the early 80s was a golden age for werewolves and special effects creatures after all) - the minute I saw they were just using a normal, actual wolf and calling it a werewolf - this movie had committed an unforgivable sin in my 10 (or maybe 11 year old) mind and was immediately cast out, into the nether regions of “lame” for all time. Haven’t seen it since. Over the past 40+ years, whenever this movie has come up - in conversation or online or in a book, or whenever there was a rare opportunity to rent or stream it - I always go through the same thought process: I should probably give that movie another (fair-minded adult) chance. …But I already know it doesn’t have a cool werewolf. So what is the point. And I move on. Yes I know that is unfair. But those childhood grudges are stubborn. And there’s so many other movies to watch and so little time…

Brian De Palma on "Friday the 13th" (1980) & his advice on how to make good horror movies on a shoestring budget: "Interviewer: Do you feel the audience is so hooked on sensationalism that they will overlook a poorly made film so long as it can provide lots of grizzly murders in the course of 90 minutes? De Palma: I think that audience is still discriminating. The low-budget films which have been successful, like 'Halloween' (1978) and 'Friday the 13th' (1980), may have been crudely made and done on a shoestring budget, but they are in fact suspenseful; they do ki!! people in very effective ways; and their plot twists are often very ingenious. But for every 'Halloween' and 'Friday the 13th' there must be 150 which have the exact same elements and yet they don’t work. Interviewer: 'Friday the 13th' has a scene where a guy gets skewered. It seems to me that’s what an audience leaves the theater talking about and not whether the cinematic values were good. De Palma: I disagree. I think it’s got to be effectively done—well set up, the maniac stalking, the way the people are dispatched, etc. There has got to be something more than run-of-the-mill horror in order for a film to be successful. Repetition is anathema to the genre. You can no longer just dec@p!tate people or sl!ce them through the gut or whatever. You’ve got to give the audience something new and striking if you want them to walk out talking about your film. Interviewer: Do you feel the ad campaign plays an important part in selling a horror movie? For instance, Friday the 13th had a $3.5 million ad budget from Paramount and spent it on very effective TV spots. De Palma: I don’t think that’s what makes a film successful. True the horror-film audience will go to see the picture; but if it doesn’t deliver, they won’t talk about—and that means it will be gone the next week. TV spots, no matter how well done, no matter how they blanket the tube, can’t sell something that doesn’t really exist. I’ve seen films with $10 million ad campaigns go rapidly into oblivion. The only thing you can say about the horror genre is that distributors will rarely spend a lot of money unless they feel the film truly is effective." (Brian De Palma's interview with Ralph Applebaum, 1980)

Apparently you didn’t read the FIRST SENTENCE of my post. I said I DID see it. At age 10 or 11. But was so disappointed I have never felt the urge to watch it again. Does that really offend you so deeply? Are you telling me there are no movies of your youth you had the same reaction to? Not even one?

@zenturian2000 @TheCinesthetic My Dad did, in fact, let me see Alien the year it came out. We didn't make the news but we were there!

@TheCinesthetic I was disappointed to not see a baby @BryanBaugh in this.

Local news interviewing parents taking their children to see Alien (1979) is unintentionally one of the funniest promo clips ever.

@FaoCrenshaw @FabrizioArtist I've heard his name before.

@BryanBaugh @FabrizioArtist That is Image Comics' own Robert Kirkman.

Here's a retarded take.

@BryanBaugh It's the truth, I will not deny it! Also, since I like to double down. The Howling 2: Your Sister Is A Werewolf is better than The Howling.

@BryanBaugh Read the book instead. You'll figure out more what the story is REALLY about. Not werewolves.

I trust the memory of a 17 year old more than a 10 year old but I definitely recall having monster magazines at the time that talked about it as a new werewolf movie. The Howling was promoted as a serial killer movie and then turned out to be an awesome werewolf movie. That was a great surprise. My memory of Wolfen is that it was promoted as a werewolf movie and then turned out to not be real werewolves. That felt like a ripoff.

@BryanBaugh I watched it at the cinema in 81, I didn’t see any marketing saying it was a werewolf movie…I went in as a 17 year old knowing this,maybe as an adult you would not have made that mistake 👍👍

@jaffaPaul That's how it was marketed when it came out. I was a naive 10 year old and fell for it.

@BryanBaugh There are no werewolves in this movie, it is not a werewolf movie, who told you it was? It’s about wolves, not people who turn in to werewolves…👍👍👍👍

@FabrizioArtist @FaoCrenshaw I have no idea who he is.

@FaoCrenshaw You could've just removed the word 'take' and it would more accurate. Always thought he was mediocre writer at best, but I think that's even giving him too much credit.

Same here. I WANT to enjoy Robert Eggers movies. On a surface level they LOOK like they should be right up my alley. His visual style is great and I love the way he makes the time period look so authentic. But I just can't stand his approach to "horror" which seems to rely on every character being hateful and people having prolonged panic attacks over nothing every ten minutes. It's just irritating.

To be honest, I think this was over hyped.

@BiLLYd_licious Anytime!

Great pic! An underappreciated gem by the director of Tombs of the Blind Dead!

@PopRelics I can appreciate that.

@BryanBaugh To this day whenever I see a decapitation on film, I immediately hear Gregory Hines explaining how a person is still aware and conscious for up to 60 seconds after losing their body.
