Now watching Zelda Williams' & Diablo Cody's Lisa Frankenstein on #Peacock.
I really liked Kathryn Newton in both Supernatural and Freaky, plus I love Jennifer's Body, so I'm excited to see this one.
@MamboGator@ElizabethLeeCo@horror S1 is really important to get a feel for the characters, I think. And there is some spooky stuff that lays the groundwork for future things, so I'd say start with S1 knowing it gets better from there.

Oh, that sounds good. I deliberately ignored the news that there was to be a prequel because I was afraid that it would be just as interchangeable as at least the critics said about the Exorcist sequel. But maybe it will be something after all?
#NowWatching Spielberg's made-for-TV movie, Something Evil (1972), starring Darrin McGavin. The transfer is terrible but I'm wildly curious because the description sounds folk horror-y.
Moving on... #NowWatching American Gothic (1987) on #Tubi. An 80's slasher I somehow haven't seen even though I remember the VHS cover from Blockbuster. It stars the late, great Yvonne De Carlo (Lily Munster) as an unhinged backwoods matriarch.
@ElizabethLeeCo@horror aww really? I thought it was pretty creepy, and there were a few scenes that made me cringe almost as much as when I saw Hereditary
@ElizabethLeeCo@horror Glad soemone else felt that way about this film. Some bits were a little creepy but it felt like a kids attempt at doing elevated horror.
@ElizabethLeeCo@horror - I remember the book started with someone disemboweled and trying to stay upright while holding in their guts. Entertainingly nasty stuff that gave me a life-long (and completely rational) fear of disembowelment.

Okay, I wasn't expecting that, but I'm delighted. And good for Neve that she finally seems to be appreciated and paid what she deserves. She IS Scream. Everyone else is just ghost faces.
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.
