Dread is the only Books of Blood story where I have to gird my loins before I do a re-read (jokes about "dreading" it could be made 😝). I find it genuinely disturbing in a way that I don't his other works.
#NowWatching Book of Blood (2009) on #Tubi. Not to be confused w/ Books of Blood (2020) from #Hulu, even though they're both related to Clive Barker's wraparound story from his Books of Blood. I know I've seen this but I can't remember if I liked it 🤷
Does the Dog Die does not have the right categories for Clive Barker movies. Like, where am I supposed to put "face pealed off"? Under throat trauma? 😶 #horror#CliveBarker@horror@horrorfilm
I love this movie so hard & not enough horror fans have seen it. I'd also argue that--while it's definitely gory--being a Clive story, it's interesting gore w/ a narrative purpose. The goal isn't to try to make you barf or go to therapy.
Currently watching the unrated director's cut of The Midnight Meat Train (2008) on Vudu. I always forget the 00's were the Blue Filter era of filmmaking.
