slip & fall in horror movies: a thread

just realised the video was on mute so here’s the version with sound oh-

this scene where renée zellweger just runs out of the house on a stormy night in case 39 (2009) after being chased by a threatening hallucination had such an impact on me as a kid ! i love the stupid decisions people make in horror movies but the smart ones are so refreshing

the uninterrupted take is suffocating i feel like i’m in trouble myself… i love the sam raimi’s looney tunes core evil dead so much but i’ll never thank álvarez enough for bringing the franchise to darker places

@jefftimeseleven makes sm sense !

@slasherbaddies I heard it was pitched as a Tourist Trap remake but the suits said House of Wax had more recognition value.

warner bros and dark castle teaming up to pull something straight out of hollywood’s b-movie archives and make the house of wax concept feel brand new again feels kind of unreal now… actually putting BIG money behind what plays like an unofficial tourist trap remake-

this mean spirited, with nods to whatever happened to baby jane?, and letting it morph from a basic woods slasher into something more macabre and spectacular... i don't think we'll ever see studios take that kind of risk or give THAT much freedom to films like this ever again…

@ErickLorinc same… and i remember the house in the original short also had those big glass walls !

@slasherbaddies I love any movie with a good house

took me a minute to realize how much when a stranger calls (2006) is such a great take on walton’s short and 1979 film… a pinnacle of oughties horror, using off screen to it’s full advantage, camilla belle carrying every scene on her shoulders in a luxury glass house by the lake

no wonder it was kind of satirized the most out of all the 2000’s horror remakes later in scream 4

i decided to rewatch what i consider the best final destination (the fifth one) and kept thinking how much i miss this kind of sharply cut confrontation scenes… some recent movies wish they had something this tense and dynamic

@fwdaniels @tomhammell Best thing i’ve seen this year

8 episodes of peak television

i hope big studios will give feature length projects to ‘something very bad is going to happen’ directors: weronika tofilska and maria zolnik with total creative freedom, like arkasha stevenson had on the first omen… i want more audacious studio horror films

the wide angle staging in poltergeist is one of the million reasons why it’s one of the best looking studio horror films ever… it’s just so beautiful

@ErickLorinc it’s so mean spirited and cruel… love it sm

YES! So happy Beginning is getting some flowers. I love the hell out of it (and prefer it to the remake)

@basedgizmo literally 😭 it’s a great best of

@slasherbaddies no shade but... everything?

@NINETIESWITCH the last one was so atrocious it actually made me reconsider… watched it again and somehow i ended up loving it the second time around !

Movie was ass but wow the cast in that #2 picture are so hot

@deadautism she also played one of the nurses in new nightmare !

@slasherbaddies I saw this video on my insta feed today and have learnt that wes craven has a daughter. She must be very proud of him :,)

seeing wes craven’s daughter jessica craven in the comments of a video explaining how political and “woke” his horror always was… warms my heart

this opening should’ve been left untouched in scream 4… i always found it so violent and seeing the pre-production footage without any score makes it feel like some elaborately staged snuff film ! the last house on the left wes craven spirit was in full force here

@evildeadburn and his daughter jessica is politically active and definitely on the right side of history

the last house on the left was literally a direct response to the vietnam war & a critique of american suburbia as a false escape from the increase in violence in society at the time. you just gotta be dumb as rocks to think he would approve of anything to do with scream 7

scrolling past every tweet on my tl that references wes craven from now on cause you all sound fucking crazy
