do you like scary movies? (DO NOT READ IF YOU HATE WIMPS)

That being said, I did somewhat get a thrill out of the fact that The Thing scared the shit out of me a few weeks ago. It's not so much the OMG-that-might-happen-to-me factor as much as it is the I-really-fucking-hate-nightmares factor that accounts for the post-watch freakout, though.

You know what are really good are all those recent gay horror movies. straight to dvd cheapies with hunks in fancy underwear turning into demons. they even sell them in gay bookstores. If you are squeamish about horror you can watch these and just laugh and laugh and laugh. and then find out you are gay. or at least partial to gay demons. I know I am! They're the best!

I also want one that sez "Carpe Poon, Dude!"

(the latter being something someone posted on that jon williams thread and which i just thought was the silliest thing i had ever read. this week.)

I've seen Suspiria, and I didn't think it was a particularly great film. Less good than Ring (either version), Dark Water or various other Japanese films I've seen, for me.

which is why i come to this movie called troll 2. for me it's the weirdest film; it's a horrible, poorly made film but somehow becomes disturbing because of its surreal awfulnes.

I didn't see the first Phantasm until last year, don't know how I managed to overlook it for so long. The Tall Man and his flying orb is classic, but the movie overall is just decent (there are some very choice dated elements to it though). I just wish I had seen it when I first heard about it as I probably would've loved it then. I've heard Phantasm 2 is worth seeing as well.

Amityville Horror, Exorcist, and Poltergeist creeped me out when I saw them as a young'un. Not sure what it is about horror movies, I'm typically interested in the effort/budget (or lack thereof) put into special effects. I don't get scared by them these days, at most it could gross me out. It's a great genre though in the sense of how it can tackle extremely taboo themes. Also the way a horror flick can so easily turn into an endless series of sequels can be very amusing.

I could add to scott's list: Creepshow, Basket Case, Gore Gore Girls, The Keep, Wolfen, C.H.U.D., Re-Animator, Silent Night Deadly Night, Chopping Mall

What say ILX about Scream?

of scream 2 I say that at it had its moments.

I say of scream 3 that if Parker Posey wasn't in it the only part of value would have been when everyone in the audience laughed at the creed poster.

I don't get the night ph34_r w/horror movies, I enjoy the odd one, but I'm not really into them, to be honest.

A well-crafted and dead-on-target spoof of the theatrical psycho-thriller release The Ring, this DVD features gorgeous models who can act, deliver clever dialogue and well-timed throw-away lines, as well as give (a)rousing sexual performances. Director Wash West has crafted a film that will hold up well over repeated viewing in one's permanent collection.

Straight, frat-boy type roommates Josh Hammer and Pete (Derec Lang) are plopped in front of the TV watching football, when Derec mentions the latest urban-legend he's heard about on the Internet. Apparently there's a video in circulation, and once you see it and its bizarre quick-cut melange of disjointed scenes, in exactly seven days you will become gay after receiving a mysterious telephone call.

Horrified, Josh tells Derec he saw that tape while at the Duck Inn cabins with his pals Eric and Tom (Jason Adonis and Sam Tyson -- I'll refer to the characters by the models' names), exactly one week ago! Right on cue, the phone rings, and a voice tells Josh he is now gay.

Josh goes to wash up and calm down, but while looking for Derec afterwards he sees the bright flashing image that IS the hole, and returns to Derec in a dazed and disoriented state. He tentatively tousles Derec's hair from behind when he approaches, and Derec says "Dude, I thought Annabelle was home. That's the gayest thing you have ever done!" With a shift of his stance and an arm crooked on his hip, Josh fires back "I am not gay".

Unconvinced, Derec devises a test, and offers Josh the choice of a girl-on-girl porno, or a Judy Garland concert video. Josh goes for "Cheerleader Challenge", yet after three scenes still can't get a hard-on. Derec, ever the true friend, continues the test by doing an impromptu bump-and-grind in front of the TV. Josh is immediately hard and ready.

His theory proven, Derec plants a kiss on Josh's mouth and suggests they have sex. "Oh, you've seen the tape too...?!", asks Josh.

"No, I'm still straight, but my girlfriend is away for the night" is Derec's reply, before unzipping his fly and offering up his hard cock to his roomie.

Josh gobbles the turgid member with enthusiasm, and Derec reciprocates by sucking Josh's pierced, Prince Albert-equipped cock before bending him over the edge of the dining table and mounting him. Before long, Josh gets flipped onto his back, and jacks his load onto his belly before Derec adds his deposit to the puddle of goo.

Later on, a knock on Josh's door introduces us to Benny Benson (the tall, tan, and gorgeous Swede Tag Eriksson), an investigative reporter for the San Bernardino Examiner. Tag is determined to get to the bottom of this mystery and goes in search of the mysterious tape.

Without much explanation, we are next shown a solo jack-off scene with Vince Taylor. As Tag's investigation takes him to the Duck Inn cabins, we learn that Vince is the desk clerk there.

Tag finds the mysterious tape among the loaners in the hotel lobby, and snags it. He goes to one of the cabins to view it, letting us see the grainy and disjointed black-and-white imagery for the first time. Shortly thereafter the room phone rings, with a voice declaring that in seven days Tag will be gay.

Tag's sleuthing next brings him to Josh's buddy Jason Adonis, who was with Josh and Sam Tyson on that fateful tape-viewing night. Jason recounts in flashback how he and Sam also received the "you are now gay" phonecall, in spite of declaring themselves hardcore "pussy hounds" mere moments before. Next thing they know, they are sensuously massaging one another with scented oil, and declaring their love of all things relating to man-on-man sex.

Sam delivers an enthusiastic and gooey suck-session on Jason's dick -- lots of saliva and pre-cum ooze -- then gets his ass plowed from multiple positions. Both deliver big loads, then make declarations of undying love and devotion afterward.

At this point Tag is getting worried about his fate, since he too has seen the tape. He picks up a hetero skin magazine at a newsstand and takes it home to jerk off to. He flips it open to a couples scene with buxom T.J. Hart and Adam Killian, and while stroking his ample dick, the models on the page come to life in his imagination and join him on his bed.

The sexual orientation tug-of-war goes back and forth; feminine T.J. lovely in her lace lingerie and Adam looking studly with his three-day stubble and hard dick straining inside his black-and-orange shorts. The outcome is apparent when Tag strokes his dick to climax, spewing his white-hot cum all over Adam's tanned thigh.

Based on his research of the images on the tape, Tag goes to New Mexico with Josh to visit a building that appears to be a major clue. But instead of finding any answers, they find that the building is being used for a local swingers club's orgies.

Tag and Josh watch through the window as Anthony Holloway and Jeremy Tucker kiss passionately (Jeremy's body also appears on the mysterious tape). Then Jeremy blows and rims Anthony before they join a gang of men in a big room to fuck the hell out of cute young blonde Trent Atkins. Jeremy and Anthony take turns vigorously fucking Trent as Michael Knight, Damon Ivy, Kip Bravo, Rex Everything and Lorenzo Vargas stand nearby and kiss and grope each other.

Jeremy cums, Anthony fucks the cum out of Trent, Anthony pops his load, and then several of the others douse Trent's sweaty torso with cum while standing and jerking their cocks above him.

New Mexico having apparently been a waste, Josh and Tag return to the Duck Inn. Josh's previously expressed sexual interest in Tag seems now to be sinking in, and Tag is totally receptive to a sensual undressing and caressing session. They trade blows (Tag sucks dick with expertise), before Josh gets fucked in a variety of positions by Tag. They end in an embrace, and then the phone rings...

The voice on the phone informs Tag that he is gay, to which he replies "I already knew that...!" and drops the receiver, to refocus his attention to the adoring Josh. End of Film.

"Your choice of the cast, and your choice to
reverse the clichés from young naked women to young naked men is a
great idea."

thing is, my appreciation for Night Of The Living Dead isn't necessarily about not leaving things to the imagination. Maybe it was gorier than the standard but the gore isn't what makes that film noteworthy, nor was it the point of the film, which is what the quote implies.

Man. Don't you hate it when something you seem to vividly remember as being really great turns out to be abject crap? There are MUSICAL INTERLUDES in this fuckin' film, for pete's sake. It really is like an MST 3K episode without the `bots. Ugh.

-- Alex in NYC (vassife...), September 7th, 2004.

there was an episode of mst3k with boggy creek 2.

Needless to say he was profoundly disappointed when we watched it. Basically anytime somebody tells me a movie rocked their prepubescent mind BUT they haven't seen it since, I assume its crap.

the part with the frozen homeless dude scared me more than anything else.

Maybe the movie itself was cheesy and fake-looking - but the trailer, which only showed glimpses of the torture ... yikes!

I did find The Blair Witch Project effectively spooky. I count myself lucky, though, as I managed to see it upon the first week of its release, before all the hype snowballed out of control (a syndrome which no movie can live up to). I still think its genuinely well-done.

OTM. i hate those movies, that's why i liked 'freddy vs jason'. it just treated the whole thing as the joke it's always been.

the first nightmare is ok, but not a classic.

i mean this is kinda like arguing about a comedy--either it made you laugh or it didn't, and with horror movies either they give you the chills or they don't.

The Shining still does it for me, likewise The Exorcist. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is still mighty unnerving (and so deliciously done in a grainy low-budget sorta way). As hokey as it is, the FIRST installment of Halloween remains genuinely scary (and is not nearly as gorey as people seem to remember). The Last House on the Left is still unsettling...though not as much as it used to be. It's been a great while since I've been genuinely creeped out by a film, though.

You're missin' out, man.

Saw "Paranormal Activity" today. How will I sleep again?
