Horror Valentines 

So I was on Facebook, and I saw these horror Valentine's, I think they are amazing lol.






It got me thinking...What are your best horror pickup lines, or what would you say to get into another horror fans pants?

TE:A place I have come to love

I just need to say something about this wonderful place. Since joining, I have made friends with some incredible people, I have watched and discovered some amazing movies and shows. TrashEpics, has become second nature to me. The simplicity of the site, the fun of the challenges and games. I love it here, and I don't plan on leaving. @Box, you have created an amazing site, a community of people to just be who they are and talk about anything and everything that is on our minds. You welcome us all in with open arms. I know drama has ensued as of late, but that doesn't change how much I enjoy coming on here and seeing what everyone is up to.

I am going to be especially candor right now. I have a problem with one user on this site. He knows why, and what he did. But that is between me and him. I have and will not turn people against him. So, I choose to ignore any comment or post on here that he makes. I do not cause unnecessary drama on the site because I want it to be peaceful.

I know it seems like I am involved in a lot of things, but I work hard with people to come up with challenges, and games so we all can just have fun. And yes, I will ignore anything that user posts on any of my games, but I will not stop him from joining my challenges. I'm not a dictator, I just want nice, simple, fun on the site. This wonderful site that box created for all of us wonderful weirdos!

Wrong Turn

Is anyone on here a fan of the Wrong Turn franchise? I thought the first one was good and then after that it went to shit. Kind of like Sharknado haha.

There are obviously better horror movies out there, but this franchise makes me enjoy watching the kills. There are always creative ways to kill a new victim. It is hard to consider most of the wrong turns after the first one "horror" because they are very self aware and understand the irony especially in the more recent ones. They understand the humor that lies within their subpare quality movies. With that being said they are extremley entertaining, and is a staple for modern gorey movies in my opinion.

I think this franchise is a fun one! It isn't really scary, but it is fun to watch all of the ridculous antics of the characters and how they die! It is also a fun drinking game, haha!

I haven't watched them in a while so I may binge watch it this weekend. They aren't very long movies, but somehow they are kind of enjoyable.
I will say that Wrong Turn 4's ending really pissed me off when I first watched it! My favorite out of all of them would have to be Wrong Turn 2: Dead End

Anyways, what are yall's input? Hate it or love it?

Revisiting movies part 1: Piranha (1978)

I had been pondering about a topic like this since last week. With MovieMeter members drafting pretty shitty movies for the horror draft I was really craving for some better flicks to see. After viewing Piranha 3D that gave me a good opportunity to rewatch the original from Joe Dante. Surprisingly I didn't hate the remake it was good as pop corn flick and the amount of nudity didn't harm. Nice nude underwater ballet and funny to see porn star Gianna Michaels skysurfing (or what is it called) losing her bikini exposing her big ones and later her lower body swallowed by piranha. It goes pretty overboard (pun intended) with the CGI gore though and the chaos keeps going on for too long. Pretty silly when people actually start to use guns to fend the killer fish of.

So on to the original. After watching it, I also took the opportunity to view the extras like how they didn the make-up and how they actually moved the piranha. Joe Dante does audio commentary on the movie which reveals a few things I didn't know.

Dante says it's no secret his movie rips of Jaws but the shark being replaced with a horde of smaller killer fish. Even if you look at the artwork it feels pretty much like Jaws.

























There is other similarities like a few people warning the authorities about the danger these killer fish would cause for the people wanting to go for a swim in the lake. And with children having a summer camp too one more reason to keep people out of the water. Of course the authorities and expert scientists (Barbara Steele being one of them) manage to find a solution (or at least they think they have). Even though they try to stop them, Paul Grogan (Brad Dillman) and Maggie (Heather Menzies) manage to save the day but not without having the obligatory victims.













It's all pretty predictable with the local authorities wanting to go ahead with their plans despite the lurking danger. Using let's kill the messenger tactics always ends in trouble. A lot of people get injured or completely eaten. That's where the movie differs from Jaws that there is a lot more scenes with people on or in the water. There is a lot more victims and action definitely in the last half hour. You actually do see the fish in action pretty frequently. It's quick edits, fish on a stick with a mechanism to move their jaws manually. Even if lots of scenes were filmed in a swimming pool deep respect for the people behind the practical effects and building all these rubber fish. My favorite effect is the aftermath of the piranha's attack on the old man (Keenan Wynn), his legs eaten to the bone.














Another striking thing is that the piranha do not spare anyone even children are not safe. There seems to this days still an unwritten rule that children might get harmed but pretty rarely they are killed. This movie actually has a scene where the piranha attack while the children at the summer camp are having a swim ring race. It eventually leads to the demise of one of the camp leaders Betsy (Belinda Balaski). It's really tragic as Paul's daughter Suzie (Shannon Collins) first managed to save the other female leader Laura (Melody Thomas Scott) in a rubber boat.














The director was really impressed by young Shannon, saying she really did a great job. He loves to know what actually happened to her. I would have loved to hear her memories about the movie too. She only was in 3 more movies after Piranha.











So yes it was a great trip down the memory lane. I remember having seen a few other piranha movies during childhood under the surveillance of my elder sisters in the 80s but none of them had an impact like Piranha had. I am planning to seek for those other piranha movies I have forgotten about during summer, so the idea of a shark and killer fish movie challenge is a good motivation.


Next revisit review: FleshEater (1988)

Doctor Sleep

I wanted to watch this one months ago, but they booted it from theaters before it could get a proper response from viewers, likely due to the lengthy runtime. Now, I hear there's a 3-hour cut, but we wont go into that one today. The 2.5 hour theatrical cut is plenty to talk about, so here we go...

The film begins in 1980, right after the Overlook incident. We get to see some well-recast renditions of Danny Torrance and his mother, now played by the sexy Alex Essoe, and we even get a bit of Doc Halloran in there, which is a nice touch. Clearly, there's still a bit of trauma going on and Danny is trying to find a way to deal with it.

Years later, adult Danny (Ewan McGregor) is a drunk piece of shit. He's been channeling a bit too much of his father and he's sick of it, so he goes to rehab and hopes for the best. He's dulled his shine over the years, but a young girl taps back into it, but unknowingly alerts a family of hungry vampires. Now, these aren't blood-sucking vampires mind you, but they suck the "steam"/lifeforce out of anyone who seems to have a good flavor to them, and they've grown a taste for young children who shine.


It may be a long movie that I was already fatigued going into, but damn if it wasn't interesting enough to wake me the fuck up. It's got some really good cinematography, some very cool shots, a lot of great callbacks, and somehow it even has good pacing. Without saying too much to give anything else away, you can rest easy knowing that it goes full-blown Shining at the end, and those bits made me giddy.

When you say the sequel to The Shining is going to be about vampires, it might confuse you a bit. I wasn't entirely sold on the whole idea, though rather mildy curious. However, by the end of the movie, I was very satisfied. I really liked what they did this movie. Some scenes even gave me chills. Very well done, and very faithful to the original.
