I had old hag syndrome TWICE last night. It’s never happened twice before. Wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy!
Scarier than the first time I saw The Exorcist…

I do the same with Zelda. Seriously messed up :worried:. Wonder how she’ll turn out in the remake next year?

I watched both, old and new one. The old one is way better :star_struck:

Yeah, most of King’s stories involve a character with a drinking problem. His book and the TV version of The Shining makes it more obvious that Jack is an alcoholic.

Great thread. I’ve always been a huge horror fan. If I’ve watch a particular film a lot, I often give the book a go and watch making-of videos on YouTube.

Some of my fave films are:

  • Halloween
  • You’re Next
  • The Insidious series
  • The Conjuring series
  • Psycho
  • When a Stranger Calls (original)
  • The Exorcist
  • Scream series
  • Fear Itself (compilation)

I’ll need to come back and add more to this list haha…

FYI - for anyone looking for a new-ish horror film, I highly recommend “It Follows”.

I am generally very skeptical of newer horror movies…usually the same recycled ideas or just utterly boring/predictable…but “It Follows” is masterful.

This may not be considered a real horror movie but I just re-watched hocus pocus for the first time in ages and I love this movie :rofl:
Also I consider this to be Sarah Jessica Parkers best role!

Hocus Pocus is a great October movie for the young at heart. A lot for the kids and adults alike. It Follows allegory is a modern classic. Very good.

I’m a big sk fan, I went to a lecture/book signing he did at George Washington university in DC when Revival came out and he talked about it a bit. He said he was coming to terms with the fact that he was an alcoholic and coke addict when he was writing it. His first 2 books had sold well enough to finally get him out of poverty and he was drinking and getting high way too much. His wife kinda staged an intervention and he started going to AA after he showed up drunk to his kids little league game with a brown bag and the coach made him leave. When he got hit by that van he got addicted to Oxycontin for a couple years and he said it was part of the inspiration for the sequel (Dr. Sleep). Its about Danny grown up, hes an alcoholic and AA is a big part of the story, they’re making a movie for it now, supposed to be out next year I think.

I started about the same time u did lol, yeah that one was good, the whole invisible to everyone else factor is what creeped me out the most lol. @SarahJ You’re Next was way better than the reviews it got, that one was awesome right up to the credits lol. Insidious is awesome too, I used to scare the shit out of an ex gf out whistling tiny tim lmao, we had just moved in a house out in the country kinda back in the woods and her son had a stuffed giraffe in the corner of his room big enough that thing coulda hid behind. Shed start down the hall at night to go check on him and I’d start whistling haha.
The best one to come out this year as far as I’m concerned was A quiet place. Hereditary is pretty good and that new nicholas cage movie Mandy is too, its gory as hell lol.
Some of the more notable ones I’ve watched this year so far:
Last house on the left
Drag me to hell
The Belko Experiment
The Evil in us
Let Me In
Train to Busan
OG Dawn of the dead (best zombie movie of all time imo)

I hear Veronica, Raw, Tag, and Mother! are all gross enough people walked out of the theater on them so they’re on my radar.

Happens to me all the time. Never heard anyone else who knew it was called THE OLD HAG

Couldn’t believe it - it was as though the video paused, I was able to move, soaked in sweat, got up, had a drink of water, back to bed a little shaken, watched a bit of Youtube on the phone, dropped off… the video resumed. It’s the ‘Ring’-like way ‘it’ slow, jerky, slow starts off at in shadows at the end or side of the bed and then crawls up next to you. Do you feel the movement of the bed as it climbs on it?
Twice in a row - I’m surprised we don’t end up with PTSD. No-one who hasn’t had it would appreciate how f’n terrifying it is.
