The Phantom of the Opera is like Dracula or Frankenstein. They're all in the public domain, so there are a lot of them. Any other notables besides the following?

1925 - Silent film, iconic, Lon Chaney's weird makeup, colorized ballroom scene, solid old school stuff.
1943 - Universal one with Claude Rains. He was cool, though always more renowned as The Invisible Man. Not bad, but not as memorable.
1963 - Hammer one with Herbert Lom, one of Hammer's less boring entries.... Continue »

The original 2008 film was a highly praised home invasion slasher when it came out. I was incredibly disappointed with that movie. The direction was terrible, the characters were lame as fuck, but at least the killers looked cool.

About 10 years later, they did a sequel, which was a hell of a lot better. If you've seen that movie, then you'll know that the strangers die at the end, so where can we go from here? Not just a prequel... but 3 prequels?

Renny Harlin is no str... Continue »

So a little over a year ago, this video popped into my recommendations. I was intrigued, so I checked it out.




Obviously, this is the kind of shit I live for. So I had to check more stuff by the Toxhards. I was a little confused at first, as the rest of their stuff sounded fairly normal by comparison, and apparently that wasn't even their regular lead singer, but their drummer, singing for that song. But then this song really grew on me, hard.

We should do some kind of thread about him. If he doesn't get a little love here, then where will he? I mean, come on. I am in a rush right now, but if anybody thinks of any good stuff to post about him, please do.

Anything come to mind? The Vanishing doesn't exactly fit in here, but, well, sort of... some scenes fit.

I'm just trying to think of some good horror or thriller movies to watch that take place in a lonely western highway setting. Horror, ideally.

Joy Ride is sort of a guilty pleasure for me, I guess. I know it's not THAT great, but it surprised me the first time I saw it, that it was better than I expected, and I still like it.

Anyway, anything leap to mind?

ppl shit on everything. That is human nature, you want us to not be people, sorry impossible. Keep doing what you do, actually I was thinking this the other day, fuck I luv this site, true its cumbersome in some ways (but fuckin better than reddit/discord or whatever ppl are using as forums nowadays) I think I may of suggested (I at least thought) some years ago, maybe switch to some opensource forum platform instead of rolling yer own, well I own up now. I was wrong, what you're doing / have do... Continue »

We have probably done a few posts about this before... I'm just mentioning that apparently they have finished filming this. IMDB says it is completed, and that it is 153 minutes long. I guess they could still do some more editing if they wanted.

It is directed by Gary Dauberman, who has done a lot in recent(-ish) years.

One interesting thing that jumps out at me when I look at the IMDB page for it, is that Spencer Treat Clark as Mike Ryerson gets top billing. He is listed first as a s... Continue »

Let's watch some cartoons!

You get one point per minute watched. Both movies and TV series count. Live action mixed with animation like Who Framed Roger Rabbit is allowed.

The challenge starts on April 1st and ends on April 30th.

Make your SPOT below! Put any questions or recs in the shoutbox.

Coming this Halloween. Completely unnecessary. Just like The First Omen. And just like that crap movie Pet Sematary: Bloodlines. We don't need every backstory completely spelled out for us imbecilic viewers. Way to run another property into the ground.

I didn't even know this was a thing until a few days ago. Paramount+ put out this spin-off for the Sonic the Hedgehog movies, featuring the return of Idris Elba as Knuckles.

Now, anybody who has ever played the Sonic games knows how they are. You run through levels dodging enemies and collecting rings. So how does that translate to a tv show?

Yeah, you guessed it! This show is all about... bowling! Some inept police officer (Adam Pally) in the smallest town in Montana sets out to wi... Continue »

It only took me a month to get around to watching Part 4, but it was plenty of fun. We're finally back to busting ghosts in New York City, and our remaining original team has a bigger role this time around. Our characters from the previous movie are still the main focus, but Ray and Ernie have bigger parts. Bill Murray isn't in much, but he's definitely welcome, and I was happy to see William Atherton back as the asshole mayor. He hasn't learned anything over the years.

There's a lot going on... Continue »

I can't remember if I have posted here before about this. There was a guy named Josep (that's right, no H) Baque (long deceased), who was a cop in Barcelona in the 20th century. In his spare time, he had a hobby of drawing imaginary creatures that he made up on his own.

Some of his creatures vaguely remind me of the disturbing little dolls made by the girl in Hereditary. Just their general proportions and their colors, I think. Josep Baque drew or painted his creatures, he didn't make lit... Continue »

I've been seeing this weird shit plastered all over facebook and I really don't know what to think of it.

A dystopian future with Jason kill-bots, time-travel back to the 80s, and using real Jason to kill the kill bots? Like seriously, wtf?

Looks like a lot of AI/CGI, but I can't say I'm not intrigued. And this whole fucking mess is made by a woman? And a hot one at that?

I'll probably have to watc

In the 80s and 90s, there was an emergence of kid-friendly martial arts movies and video games that made every kid want to be a ninja. Karate Kid, Big Trouble in Little China, Showdown in Little Tokyo, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, 3 Ninjas, you name it. Here is another one based on a video game, turned into a super cheesy action/adventure romp about two brothers in a gang-ridden "New Angeles" tryi... Continue »

Looks pretty decent. I haven't seen Hartnett in anything in a while, and he looks like he'll be having some fun playing this character.



I hope it's better than Knock at the Cabin. God, that movie sucked.

Here's another means to win some of those wonderful trash bucks. Pay $1 of your fake moneyz and pick 6 numbers. Each week, you could win more of that stupid fake cash.

Honestly, I don't imagine this will be used much since this place is a goddamn ghost town, but it seemed like a funny idea at the time. Use it or don't. I don't give a fuck.

This will be filed under Junk > Apps.

Remember that guy who called Crispin Glover a "dead fuck" In Friday The 13th Part IV? Lawrence Monoson is his name. A fine little actor. I saw him in this other movie once called The Last American Virgin, which came out a couple years prior. Directed by Boaz Davidson, who is best known for the Lemon Polsicle series. A bunch of Israeli teen sex comedies set in the 1950's. A totally watchable bunch of movies not unlike American Graffiti, or even Ameri... Continue »

Users can now own fake items. I've been meaning to do this for a while now, but I forgot about this. For years. It's still pretty unrefined and subject to change, but it has potential for some laughs.

I've taken the liberty of giving you regs some "items", which you can view through a link in your user profile. I'm pretty terrible at gifting stuff, so you get what you get.

I'll update this feature more as needed, ie sell/trade/drop what... Continue »

Need I say more?

My only real options for drinking alcohol are beer and hard liquor. If I want to have a delicious daiquiri or wine cooler, suddenly I'm a pussy. The same thing for coffee. It has to be plain old regular plain ass coffee. If I want to have something in it that actually tastes good like hazelnut or caramel, I'm a fag. Do I really have to put up with things I don't like just to prove I'm a man? It's just a drink for christ's sake! IT'S NOT FAIR!!

This is an alternative to the annual viewings thread. You can add what you're watching to your viewings list in a slightly more streamlined manner than in the usual threads for it, and this includes setting the date for when you watch it, leaving a little comment about it, and a checkbox for whether it's an FTV.

The titles will link to the database, but it should also allow you to put in stuff that isn't included in the db. My dumbass didn't te... Continue »

Did you know Pat Sajak finally retired from that show? I've been slacking on adding more casino games, so I gave this one a whirl. It's a simple version of the game, 2 to 3 players. The lobby host can input their own puzzle, or it can be randomized. I've implemented a little over 200 puzzles, and the themes include "It's Always Sunny", "Trailer Park Boys", and a subcategory of TPB for "Rickyisms". Spin the wheel, buy vowels, and solve the pu...

I've had my current 32 inch 720p tv for years and it just dawned on me how small it is on my tv stand. I need to upsize that fucker ASAP. Something 40+ inches and 4K, even though I don't have any 4K discs or even a 4K player, but I'll get them. Maybe!

Anybody buy into these super HD things, or are you still watching VHS tapes in your TV/VCR combo? I want to watch T2 in maximum quality.
