IT'S OFFICIALLY THE "BER" MONTHS SEASON AND I AM SO HAPPY!! Dreaming of crispy weather, crispy leaves and crispy apples. Cliche I know?! Can't help it. I hope you had a great long week/weekend! My parents are here visiting for one more day and it's been so great having them here and relaxing a bit with them. They are always an excuse to gather with more family here in Utah and eat our way through the state haha! I had that dumb root canal last week though and the recovery for the actual tooth has been fine but I think it has been the culprit of terrible headaches this week. womp womp.

I feel like 3 weeks in and were getting in a little back to school groove with the kids but it still feels wrong to have to wake them up so early every morning.

This week we have the last two episodes of G of T season one (that actually went by so fast for me!) as well as the PR requests Poll Winner with The Accountant aka robocop Batman ;) We also have a YT LIVE this Saturday! Packages and Popcorn and Games and MORE! Coming up in September will be Lost in Translation, The Duel, more G of T, start to some spooky flicks and MORE!

Also a TRIVIA OF TERROR night to kick off Poptopber at the end of the month! Fright answers only ;)

On YT this week we have demons, thieves and liars! Bring it on!

Pick-a-Flick for August has closed for entries and the drawing will be during the YT LIVE this time! Could be fun?

ok love ya bye,

Cassie

Looking forward to The Accountant but where's Batman vs Superman Dawn of Justice Ultimate Edition?

Geoman

The Accountant is a brilliant movie..gets the brain going..The Accountant 2 developes relationships and is action packed with some really humourous bits..very good choice.🫶🏻👏🏻

Katie Sivak

Please watch Wednesday and Stranger Things- Carly would love it Some good movies Walk The Line F1 and Superman Hope Floats with Carly The Monster Squad and Silver Bullet

Katie Sivak

Insidious and Conjuring for spooky season

Milton Reduxed

1 movie this week—is what happens when TV begins to take over

Clay F

Graham Greene born on the Six Nations Reserve in Ontario is dead at age 73. I read both he died of "natural causes" and died "after a lengthy illness." Great in Dances with Wolves. Also liked him in "Thunderheart" (1992) w/Val Kilmer. R.I.P.

Geoman

It was posted 2 days ago Joshua..the sisters had a 3 hour batman/superman fest 😃

Phillip Bates

Lost in Translation… Yay!!!! I am so looking forward to that. Now I can change my pick every month. 🤣

Richard Maurer

K-pop Demon Hunters is a movie, like it or not.

Richard Maurer

That could mean entirely different things, depending on on your point of view.

Byrd N. Hand

I most remember him as explosives 'expert' Edgar Montrose on The Red Green Show, where he got to show off his comedic chops. Also his brief but memorable role in "The Green Mile." R.I.P.

Anthony Carlson

You forgot one thing Cassie: Hockey is coming! 😂 Anyway, as much as I want to attend the YT live, it’s right in the middle of work so I’ll catch a replay when I get home. Have a good week folks!

AdrianF

Vote with your wallet?

Clarence Newman

Hold on. Hold on a hot dang diggety doo! Are you telling me that after months and months and MONTHS of diddly squat in the movie department, I'm getting Lost In Translation AND Duel this month?? Lost In Transylvania AND Jaws 1.0?? Cassie, all is forgiven. The names I have called you behind your back are hereby retracted, I've done a U-turn on cancelling my membership and you are back in the good books once again. Oh, and when you come to opening my packages this Saturday, you might want to bin the one that smells funny.

Blake Evans

Two good ones this week. Still havent caught up with The Accountant 2 but yet but may catch it after this week. With all this recent Ben Affleck hopefully we can get Good Will Hunting in the future.

Milton Reduxed

@Richard, I'm not counting the 3 youtube edits, I thought that should have been obvious

AdrianF

Can't wait for the S1 finales. Can't put any more words til after they're up though. The Accountant is a solid movie, too.

Milton Reduxed

@AdrienF. I'm sure PiB will be grateful for your telling customers to take their patronage elsewhere...

Clarence Newman

Oh, and just to clarify, it's DUEL, not THE Duel. If you get my hopes up only to react to the 2016 Liam Hemsworth clunker, I'm literally gonna scthweam.

Robert da Spruce

“Burr! It’s cold in here! There must be some Toros in the atmosphere!” IYKYK 😊 Sorry to hear about your headaches Cassie, but I’m glad the dental work is healing Looking forward to the Accountant and the next round of GOT!

Andrew R

For the first time in four years I just might have to put my PiB membership on pause until GOTs is finished. It's taking away from the rest of the offerings. Cassie is great but sometimes you have to vote with your wallet.

Clarence Newman

Unfortunately, she's seen that one Blake, though we do encourage lobbying for a rewatch.

Dan M

The Crispy Months are upon us! I love this time of year. The weather has been great so far here…mid to low 70s during the day, mid to low 60s over night. I actually started up the firepit out back on Sunday night. Love sitting around a fire and just chatting away with my wife and a couple of friends. The only bad thing about this time of year, for me, are the cold and dreary months after New Years. But that’s a few months away, so let’s not worry about that now. I’m hoping you’ve got some fall-centric movies in mind for your PPOTM for September, October, and November. I suggested a couple of back to school movies during the last Extra Butter live that would fit right in with the beginning of September…School Ties, Some Kind of Wonderful, Back to School, and With Honors. And there’s another movie called Indian Summer that Katie Jackson recommended awhile back that I watched…and I loved it. It’s got a nice cast that includes Bill Paxton, Diane Lane (Clark Kent’s mom in Man of Steel), Kevin Pollack, Alan Arkin, and Elizabeth Perkins. It’s got an amazing fall vibe and a really nice story. St. Elmo’s Fire would be another great movie with nice fall vibes.

aarswft

You do you, you're an adult. It doesn't make it any less funny you felt the need to announce it.

Edgar Gonzalez

Patreon bro, the YouTube version ain't out yet 👍

Clay F

Yeah, he had a great monologue (delivered great) in Green Mile.

Cole Jennett

Best month ever. NFL is back, and NHL training camp starts. Also Birthdays, and the nights cooling off quick so I can finally sleep better, ha

Byrd N. Hand

I guess "A.I." will be up on YT next week? (I'm assuming "The Human Comedy" won't be, given its relative obscurity...)

Cole Jennett

He will always be remembered most fondly for me as Joseph in Maverick.

Clarence Newman

Won't happen, Milton. I threatened to quit my insurance company last week because they're a bunch of low-life, welching con artists, but when I tried to move somewhere else, the premiums were nearly double. The grass is rarely greener on the other side.

Clay F

Wow -- pumped that Lost in Translation coming up in September. That PAF material for me. Very much looking forward to GoT E9/E10.

Cole Jennett

One movie this week is what happens when her parents come for a visit, and she has a package opening which will take up most of her Saturday.

Clarence Newman

It's been a long road, Clay, but we got there in the end.

Cole Jennett

I agree with Carly for Hope Floats, but I don’t think you have any hope of Carly and Stranger Things. I’m still hoping Cassie comes back to it now that she’s more seasoned.

Byrd N. Hand

I was just thinking the same thing. The presence/absence of an article in a title makes a world of difference.

Richard Maurer

Well, since you asked. Those movies are the Transformers, or Fast and Furious, of horror movies. But instead of cgi robots or cool cars you get unending jump-scares, that quickly become predictable and boring. All flash, no substance. Remember, you asked. Just my opinion - well also a lot of other horror fans opinions too

AdrianF

Milton, I meant instead of moaning about it just do what you're hinting you might do. GoT brought me back after a few month hiatus.

Milton Reduxed

@ Cole, yeah I appreciate life happens, but well y'know for those only interested in movie reactions—and that movie is a Ben Assfleck picture—it's just a bit disappointing for us. Maybe next week

Byrd N. Hand

I'm pretty sure it was established that Carly hasn't seen it, Clarence. As long as they watch "What's Up, Doc?" together first, though... 🙏

The Neo/Fate show

To catch a thief! Grace Kelly I still contend is the most beautiful woman to ever exist

Clarence Newman

Did you change your post, Byrd? I'm sure I responded to one about Duel.

Dean Holt

Glad your having fun with your parents. Really looking forward to The Accountant I think you will really enjoy it, but please don’t take too long watching the second one, as I think that was really fun (obviously can’t say why). Also when you’ve finished S2 of GoT, I’d really love it if you could take a couple week break. As it will be the 2nd week into October. And as you only tend to watch Horror in that month. It would be great if you could drop back to 3 movies a week for the last two weeks just to get more horror related content in, but if you don’t I understand and I don’t have any issues as it’s just a request.

Byrd N. Hand

Yes, I changed it when I saw you already posted the same thing below...

Gábor Árki

@Cole, I understand if she cannot do 3 reactions a week for some reason. But why does it have to be a movie reaction that is bumped, when the patrons who are not interested in GoT already lose a reaction slot every single week?

Clarence Newman

As for AI, YT uploads are pretty much going in order at the moment (although Kpop and To Catch a Thief are the wrong way around). Whatever the timeframe, the rest should be as follows: AI first GoT Ep 7 & 8 Batman v Superman Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

Dean Holt

I definitely second the F1 movie (you have to watch it with Carly) also Hoping for the Monster Squad this year in October. It’s actually on Prime at the moment as well.

Bill W

Don't be a cheertator, Torrance.

Clarence Newman

I am traumatized by your suggestion, Dean, but defend your right to make it!

Clarence Newman

She is certainly well above the line where reasonable argument becomes irrelevant.

Richard Maurer

Milton - why would that be obvious, considering you didn’t explain that you were referring to the live, which obviously isn’t a movie. So I thought must be talking about the YouTube edits.

Bill W

Another baseball season is nearly over. What are the odds of getting in Eight Men Out before the end of October?

Clarence Newman

I like What's Up Doc? Babs is adorable in that.

Milton Reduxed

@ Richard, The youtube edits are edits of previous weeks patreon reactions. The two reactions this week are GoT & The Accountant. Why would you think I was talking about the Live? I think you need another cup of coffee...

Dean Holt

Clarence 😂😂 I’m sure two weeks isn’t going to hurt 😢😂, but I just think we don’t get enough Horror content on the channel as it with Cassie just watch it in October.

Dean Holt

I thought I’d back me Richard 👍🏻😂

Above Average Dave

Thanks for this, Cassie. Glad you're enjoying the family (and the food)! Hope all is well and the root canals are behind you now forever. Crispy apple month it is! The Apple Festival was this past weekend in NC. SO many varieties. We'll be making homemade apple sauce, apple crisp, apple pancakes and my wife's ever-fabulous apple pie. Love Autumn! Cheers and God Bless.

Dan M

Excellent suggestion, Bill! And if she watches it in October it would help break up her anxiety from the Scary But Not Too Scary movies she’ll be watching.

Happy Hanukkah

RIP. I somehow would have guessed he was older. Speaking of the wrong Maverick, I remember watching him alongside Val Kilmer in Thunderheart (1992). Maybe we should watch The Third Man in his honor. :-P

Dan M

I am 100% behind your suggestion, Dean.

Happy Hanukkah

And let's not forget the sequel: "Looking forward to The Proctologist." Anyhow, back to movies. :-)

Dan M

Clarence…your LANGUAGE!

Clarence Newman

She could always watch The Warriors in October. Gritty and sometimes scary (you just have to put yourself in their shoes), PLUS it includes a gang of bat-wielding baseballers.

Dan M

He had a small role in The Green Mile, but he had one scene where his dialogue was very poignant. Loved him in Dances With Wolves.

Gray

So looking forward to the last 2 eps of Season 1, good idea to do the PaF during the live. I just recently changed my pick to Rumble In The Bronx as you said during the Extra Butter you plan on watching my original choice of The Nice Guys in a Buddy Comedy week at some point.

Clarence Newman

Two weeks without GoT will injure me badly, but you may have a point when it comes to the horror content in October. It's literally the only time Richard has ever been right about anything.

Dan M

Top o’ the mornin’, Richard

Clarence Newman

Hey, her language is way worse than mine lately. I definitely stopped short of calling her a "gross little mofo".

Clay F

High Five to you Clarence.

Tyler Foster

Shocked at still no Mission: Impossible!

Clay F

Dan -- Ditto

Richard Maurer

Clarence- Every week with GoT is hurting me, but you don’t see me crying about it (anymore). you’ll survive a couple of weeks.

Ike

If anyone is feeling the “Berrr” Cassie is talking about up there in Utah, can you send some down to South Texas, please? 😁

Jack

Lost in Translation!

Just Plain Bob

Jump scares are like junk food. Tasty but an hour later you’re hungry again. Mounting suspense, building dread, a feeling like something horrible is just around the corner, etc, are the real meat and potatoes of good horror.

Happy Hanukkah

Updateadoodah? My, oh my, what a wonderful day!

Clarence Newman

You lie like an LP left out in the sun. You've thrown many a paddy over GoT and at least once threatened to put your willy in a blender.

Clarence Newman

...and received restraining orders from much worse.

Clarence Newman

See what you miss when you don't watch GoT, Hap?!

Clay F

GoT includes horror. Like Clarence, I respect your suggestion, but I hope no break in GoT. In any case, I doubt she will so not to disrupt the rhythm of the YT GoT posts.

Dean Holt

Clarence, Don’t worry I’ll get over you being injured for a couple of weeks 😂😂

Happy Hanukkah

I shall be eating apple turnovers and washing them down with cider.

Richard Maurer

This is a disagreement I can definitely see both sides of. I’m generally against the “I’m leaving because reasons” declarations, I tend towards the if you’re leaving just go camp, if enough people do that believe me, they’ll notice. On the other hand GoT is a big commitment. Which to many people represents a loss of 1/3 of the content, so it isn’t a minor grievance, and voicing your displeasure with it isn’t unreasonable.

Joe J

Doing the PAF during the YT LIVE is to advertise it to the masses and maybe get more patreon sign-ups at the $10 level? I guess, lol.

Dean Holt

Clay F, I’d personally say it was more dark drama than Horror. If it doesn’t happen then the plus side is Cassie will finish it quicker. But as I’ve said Us that love horror films, it’s only October when we get to see them on here so even though it’s only two extra movies I’d definitely take it as there’s very limited horror reactions as it is.

Richard Maurer

I don’t think I’m the one who needs more coffee. Don’t drink coffee anyway - nasty stuff. I tend to start the day with a refreshing Coca-Cola, or similar caffeinated soda pop.

Bill Maurer

I liked the Accountant. Anna Kendrick is not your typical Hollywood starlet, but she is an excellent actress and I find her very attractive. Ben Affleck, again, did a great job as the leading role.

Cole Jennett

I’d have thought it was more to save some time since she’s already live anyways, but that also makes good business sense. Smart

Richard Maurer

Clarence - the only person here who ever “threatened to put their willy in a blender” was you. So you lie like a cheap rug.

Above Average Dave

Love this! The autumn for us is basically the Forest Gump list of shimp foods, only with apple foods instead!

Richard Maurer

Clay - LotR has definite horror elements - that does not make it a horror film. And GoT isn’t a horror series either. Except for the final season. That was definitely horrifying, although unintentionally (?) so.

Richard Maurer

I never got one from your wife though - BOOM! Roasted!

Dean Holt

I didn’t even make it to the last season (dropped out around S4) and after everything I’ve heard I think I dodged a bullet 😂

Joe J

I'm not a big fan of the GoT reactions myself, but I understand what she is doing is good for the channel. She has gained like +500 paying patrons since starting GoT. Only about 1/3 of the movies she reacts to appeal to my tastes anyway, so losing one slot a week to GoT is not a big deal for me.

Richard Maurer

Seasons five through seven showed a general decline. Season 8 fell off a high cliff into the ugly tree, hitting every branch on the way down.

Dean Holt

Was there a trampoline at the bottom of the tree as well 😂

Joe J

Takes around 5-7 days to turnaround the YT edits is my understanding.

Clarence Newman

You’re right, Richard, that was me. And for the record, GoT stays on the current high until season 5, where it becomes even better, only to be bettered by 6 and 7 and then finished off with a Season 8 home run. Y’all are thinking of Lost.

Joe J

LoT is not my cup of tea, but very happy for your win.

Joe J

I think Cassie was bummed not getting an invite to the premiere in LA.

Richard Maurer

Dean - The trampoline just bounced it high enough to hit every branch again. Otherwise there was no “up” for season 8.

Richard Maurer

Clarence - the finale of Lost is infinitely better than the entirety of GoT season 8.

ROBERT CLARK

Funny story. I just finished watching the accountant for my first time viewing. Only to receive this update. I guess I'll be watching it again with you soon. I think you'll really like it. I'll be checking out the 2nd film tomorrow.

Richard Maurer

I live my life 1 minute at a time! ;-)

Carol Rocha

Can’t wait for The Accountant! ❤️❤️

Above Average Dave

"That's no ordinary apple! It's a magic wishing apple!"

TheSingulatarian

Some channels seem to have already started on Halloween. I think one month is enough. That being said I will post some of my Halloween favorites. Poltergeist II: The Other Side (1986) The Descent (2005) Slither (2006) The Ghost and Mr. Chicken (1966) Crimson Peak (2015) The Thing (2011) The prequel to the 1982 film Life (2017) Doctor Sleep (2019) Directors Cut Splinter (2008) Cat's Eye (1985) Dawn of the Dead (1978) Creep Show (1982) Blade (1998)

Richard Maurer

Most channels are doing horror films year round now, because they do well on YouTube.

Rene G.

Cassie needs to break that pesky October month rule only for scary stuff. Time has come

shaneth138

Sinners would be a perfect scary but not too scary pick. And The Peanut Butter Falcon would be a great tender November choice!

Rene G.

Oh yeah? Terrifier trilogy will be better, the third one takes place at Christmas

Catherine LW

Scary but not too Scary: Signs (You already reacted to The Village and The Sixth Sense). Signs is another M. Night Shyamalan film and those 3 are probably his best. More films for that theme is 28 Days Later, The Lost Boys and maybe some selected Twilight Zone episodes?

Just Plain Bob

Cassie’s already seen Signs and reacted to 28 Days Later and The Lost Boys.

Just Plain Bob

Cassie reacted to Dune pt1 and watched pt2 off channel.

Clarence Newman

As for the selected Twilight Zone episodes, Catherine.....something would need to be on the wing.

Clarence Newman

There is one reason why she didn't get that second invite and that's because she didn't react to Chris McQuarrie's PERSONAL suggestion of Klute (1971). It's not too late to rectify, Cassie. You know he's still got notifications on.

Clarence Newman

Agree to disagree and also to laugh at your misremembrance.

Clarence Newman

Yeah. Wifey's a bit loose when she's had a few.

Catherine LW

Holy moly, Bob, how did I miss those reactions? Going to look for them.

Clarence Newman

Joanna Pacula, Brett? The one with no bussel from Tombstone? That's a radical but interesting choice.

Cole Jennett

Enough talk about future seasons of Game of Thrones guys. She reads these comments and we don’t need to be setting expectations for her.

Just Plain Bob

They are good reactions so, par for the course with Cassie.

MikeLL

The two reactions for the week are very much anticipated. Games of Thrones, of course. The Accountant is a very nicely made action flick, with a lot of quirky character. Can't wait to see which Flick will be Picked in the live!

MikeLL

If she follows your suggestion about cutting back the Game of Thrones in October for more spooky content then there will be others wanting more Tender in November, Christmas movies in December and more Romance movies in February! You just can't keep everyone happy, but Cassie sure tries!!!!

Richard Maurer

Cole - people “set expectations” every time they say something is good or bad. Not a spoiler, it’s a review. A spoiler is when we speak about specific scenes and plot points. Last I checked we’re allowed to say if we like or dislike something here. In fact it was Ben who personally told me we’re allowed to say if we like or dislike something. Besides, I was done talking about it anyway.

Mike Redford

Oh yes, the brrr is coming *Ned stark voice* That does put a smile on my face. Should be a fun spooky season. Gonna help my older brother put up his huge halloween house/yard display at the end of this month. I cannot wait for the Lost In Translation react. One of my absolute favorites. It's like comfort food : the movie. All the best, and hope those headaches leave ya alone

JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS

I really hope you enjoyed the first season of Game of Thrones, Cassie! You got through those 10 episodes really fast! There is so much more epic excitement and twists to be had from the remaining 7 seasons! There is an interesting little interview with actor Mark Addy on UK TV show, This Morning, talking about his Game of Thrones experience, portraying King Robert Barathean. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSGcy2-hybA

Dean Holt

Mike, yeah I get that that’s why I said if it doesn’t happen I’m ok with it. But the reason for the suggestion was because she doesn’t watch Horror any other time. Yes she obviously just watches Xmas movies in December but if I’m honest I think she should do the same for that as well as it’s only two weeks. I’m sure you can manage without GoT for 4 weeks out of 18 weeks between now and the end of the year. But regarding the others months Cassie can watch those films anytime so I don’t agree regarding those.

Gray

+1 for The Descent & Dawn of the Dead. I even like the newer The Thing prequel, I just wish they stuck with the practical effects and not been made to do CGI by the studio.

Gray

She's confirmed that she'll be watching Sinners In Oct

Russell

I would say a good Halloween movie and completely Carly acceptable is Fright Night (1985). A very fun 80s vampire flick. Also Forbidden Planet (1956) is quite excellent, considered a must see classic and is also Carly acceptable.

My_Cousin_Mose

I know Signs would be a rewatch but I hope we get a reaction to it one day. Both Cassie and Carly have seen the movie one time before the channel and have both consistently said it was the scariest movie they had ever seen. I'd love to see if they still think it's scary and what their thoughts are now.

Ted Whalen

CAN YOU DIG IT!!!!!!!

Vincent Vega

Can someone remind me please, usually how long is it between films appearing on Patreon to them being uploaded onto YouTube? I can only watch on one device at a time so I can only watch the reactions on YT 😭

Ted Whalen

Ber months mean that it is football season (both college and NFL), which got off to a great start this past Saturday!

Just Plain Bob

Carly couldn’t watch Stranger Things and freaked out at What Lies Beneath. I can’t imagine her watching Fright Night.

Anthony Carlson

Ted- How about them Buckeyes! And how was Lee Corso’s farewell?

Dave

It is usually a week to 10 days between full reaction and YouTube edit

Ted Whalen

Anthony- I was at the game on Saturday (fantastic Friday and Saturday). It was a great farewell for Lee Corso ( the crowd at the game day set was unbelievable).

Joe J

Not sure how many reaction slots will be available for scary movies in October. I would still recommend a reaction to the show "Midnight Mass" (just 7 episodes). Cassie is of course aware of recommendations to react to "horror" content outside of October...so that remains a possibility. "Midnight Mass" could be watched any month.

Joe J

Maybe those two films will appear on the TRICK poll...if Cassie is feeling brave.😆

Mike Redford

Love fright night. Horror comedy done right. Good soundtrack too.

Happy Hanukkah

In addition, note that there can be the occasional difficult copyright issue, so there can't be any guaranteed specific delay between Patreon and YT.

James M

Creepy for Oct though not too scary: "The Trouble with Harry" (1955) - I think this one is Carly safe

Mike Lemon

"Only about 1/3 of the movies she reacts to appeal to my tastes anyway," I'm still at 12.5, and it looks like that is were I (edit- da f'??? Patreon just decided to post without me hitting enter.) - am going to stay for a while. Thrones pisses away 1/3 of the chances and the other 2/3 isn't looking that good. Fingers crossed for something in October.

Richard Maurer

Okay here are my much anticipated (by a couple of people anyway) October Horror requests I will be using the Trick (real horror films (supposedly)) or Treat (horror-lite) formula used here in Halloween’s past. For the Trick portion I will be trying to be mindful of Cassie’s boundaries. But I will also be taking into consideration films that have been watched on this channel that have stretched those boundaries. Here we go: Trick: It Follows (2014) Ringu (1998) Night of the Living Dead (1968) Dawn of the Dead (1978) Train to Busan (2016) Let the Right One In (2008) Nosferatu (2024) X (2022) Pearl (2022) Vampires (1998) They Live (1988) The Fly (1986) Brightburn (2019) The Fog (1980) Doctor Sleep (2019) Sinners (2025) The Hills Have Eyes (1977) From Beyond (1986) The Evil Dead (1981) The VVitch (2015) Hellraiser (1987) Drag Me to Hell (2009) Re-Animator (1985) Dog Soldiers (2002) Candyman (1992) Color out of Space (2019) Frankenhooker (1990) Fright Night (1985) Creepshow (1982) 30 Days of Night (2007) Scanners (1981) Krampus (2015) Ju-on: The Grudge (2002) Pumpkinhead (1988) Split (2016) Ginger Snaps (2000) From Dusk till Dawn (1996) Cube (1997) [REC] (2007) Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) Treat: Horror of Dracula (1958) Shin Godzilla (2016) Hellboy (2004) Hellboy II: The Golden Army Trollhunter 2010 The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) Pacific Rim (2013) The Wicker Man (1973) Feel free to disagree but you’re unlikely to change my mind.

Mark White

Hi Cassie, I too dream of the cooler weather of Autumn. It’s a beautiful time of year and far more comfortable for work! I’m glad you are getting a bit of time with your family, enjoy. Ok, just let me get this out of my system! DDDUUUUEEEEEELLLLLL!!! 🚗🚛 THANKYOU 😘🥰😍 Can’t wait!! I might even be able to persuade my wife to watch that reaction, as she is a big fan of Duel, which sez a lot for a person who usually only likes period dramas! I would love to join you for “the Live” but I have my best friends daughter coming over to watch LOTR for her first time watching! She is 11 and loves movies. Unfortunately for her she has grown up in a household with her two sisters and mom who are scared of everything, including anything outside Disney! So she has starting coming over to ours for a film night once in a while. Last week it was “Gremlins” which she loved. LOTR is going to be a big step up, but she is already excited! I’m also really pleased for Clay, you are watching “Lost in translation” I think you will really enjoy that one. “The Accountant” is good too and I know Richard was keen on that one. As for K-pop, I was trying to avoid it! But I just so happen to be at a friends gathering the other night with all the kids there and mentioned you had watched something called K-pop demon thingy and the kids in the room went mad and then made all us adults watch it!!! While respecting the work, I can’t say I’m a fan! 😆 I would like to request “The Horror of Dracula” 1958 for October. I have been told by reliable sources it is a MUST for any fan of Horror and therefore must be watched to consider yourself a cinephile! You are the best ❤️

Happy Hanukkah

What the F does anything have to do with 'Nahm?!

Richard Maurer

Not a chance of Terrifier happening on this channel.

Mark White

Pleased for you Clay with “Lost in Translation” 🙂

Mark White

That has to be a typo, better be!

Mark White

Can’t wait! 🚗🚛

Clarence Newman

Who are these reliable sources you speak of? I know of one numpty who likes HoD, and he can only be relied on to be a numpty.

Mark White

Richard are you kidding! You start the day with a Coke?! I thought you were a old dude?! I’ve never heard of someone over 10 wanting to start the day with a coke! 😉😆 Nice cup of Yorkshire tea for me.

Chris Thom

Happy fall! This channel is very literally one of the best parts of the season for me, so thank you! Glad to see the LIVE is still happening. Woke up today and was really feeling like I'd forgotten something until I saw the post. Watched the What Lies Beneath vid this weekend and I really think that one deserves more views. It's so good. Lol

Chris Thom

I averaged it to about 10 to 14 days.

Chris Thom

Could've sworn she did it already. But that would be fun. Very nostalgic.

Just Plain Bob

Excellent list. From what you said previously about having more post 2000 horror, I thought it would include more movies I wouldn’t care for. By and large, I like/love them. I would move Split, They Live and Doctor Sleep to horror lite, but that’s quibbling. Movies on your list that I’d be particularly happy to see a reaction to: Ringu Night of the Living Dead Dawn of the Dead Let the Right One In The Fly The Evil Dead Candyman From Beyond 30 Days of Night Dog Soldiers Drag Me To Hell (bad CGI and all) Fright Night Creepshow Ginger Snaps From Dusk till Dawn [Rec] Everything on the lite list I’d also drop Re-Animator due to nudity (the scene near the end) and the generally transgressive nature of the doctor’s infatuation with the Dean’s daughter and how that’s expressed in the end. It’s one of my very favorite films but I think it would run afoul of the nope list.

Above Average Dave

Any "Octobe Horror" list omitting ARMY OF DARKNESS is, by its very construct and intent, null, void and fallacious, if not outright fraudulent.

Clarence Newman

Reluctantly..... +1 for Nosferatu (although you misprinted the date. It should be 1922) +12 for The Fly +3 for The Fog +1 for Hills Have Eyes +20 for Creepshow +1 for From Dusk Till Dawn (but only for Salma) +1 for Meander (the superior version of The Cube) +1.5 for Horror of Dracula +1 for The Wicker Man There you go. Don't say I never do anything for you.

Clarence Newman

Ooh. What about The Skeleton Key? (Kate Hudson, 2005)

Just Plain Bob

Fright Night is one of my very favorite films. I just watched it for approximately the 20th time a couple of weeks ago. Has a very high re-watch factor for me, which isn’t always true of movies I love.

Just Plain Bob

The Skeleton Key is one those “horror” movies that non-horror fans think are scary. In the language of high society film critics, it’s doo-doo garbage on par with What Lies Beneath. Hollywood clap trap wholly dependent on its “star power.” Weak sauce.

Clarence Newman

Try to keep up, Hap. Assuming (which is always dangerous, I know) that the "Norm" you're referring to is the one from "Cheers", my response refers to the fact that Cliff always pronounced it "Nahm".

Clarence Newman

I'm not guilty on this one, Cole. I'm just balancing up the misdirection from these misguided spoiler-bums.

Chris Thom

The theme parks in SoCal along with Disneyland put up their Halloween decorations August 23rd. Kind of crazy.

Richard Maurer

Bob - first of all, thanks, glad you liked my list. I’m not sure what post 2000 bad horror films you thought I would put on there, surely not the Conjuring / Insidious crap, my feelings would be hurt if you thought that little of my taste in horror films ;-). The closest thing to a mainstream horror film that I wanted to put on there was Sinister, but I ultimately decided not to because of all the child endangerment stuff in it. Which brings me to Dr. Sleep, because I’ve seen where people claimed it would be “too much” for Cassie because of the child stuff in it. While I obviously disagree, I figured I better put it on the Trick side to be safe. You may have a point about Split though, but it could go either way imo. Re-Animator. That’s one I struggled with. I did say I would be pushing boundaries because of the films she been watching recently. And because of her recent reaction to Dragon Tattoo, I decided to put Re-Animator on the list. I feel the rape scene in Dragon Tattoo, due to its length and reality, was considerably worse than anything in Re-Animator. I figured I’d put it out there and let Cassie’s people decide - worst they could say is no.

Mark White

What?! Are we finally getting Cannonball Run? Or Rhinestone or The Towering inferno or The Champ or Cool Hand Luke or………….sorry can’t keep up with all you favourites Clarence😉

Richard Maurer

Clarence - You have repeatedly said you liked Horror of Dracula. Don’t even try to pretend like you didn’t.

Mark White

Chris, It’s a top reaction for sure 😱😂

Richard Maurer

Dave - I’m in the camp that she should watch one of the Evil Dead movies before Army of Darkness, preferably both of them, but the first one at the very least.

Mark White

Clarence, just so happens Ive got the Skelton key on DVD. Haven’t seen it in years, but would enjoy a reaction to it.

Mark White

Great list Richard, I’m up for any of the treat list. Hellboy II: the golden army I actually just prefer over the first! There are some really good movies on the trick list as well. I would be interested to see Cassie react to “Cube” underrated movie. My brother in law was just telling me on Sunday there is a sequel he said was well worth a watch?! As for “The Fly” I would be shocked if Cassie missed it again this year!

Richard Maurer

Clarence - I definitely got the date right on Nosferatu - Egger’s version is better than any other version. Maybe she could watch the silent version on the treat side though. I’ve never seen Meander, but it would have to go a long way to be better than Cube. I do admit you got me curious about it though.

Mike Redford

Classic reactions. Carly became one with the blanket lol. Especially that bathroom scene.

Richard Maurer

Don’t like coffee or tea. Do like Coke though.

Chris Thom

My top from that list would probably be They Live, It Follows, The Witch, The Fog, Doctor Sleep, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Creep Show, and Let the Right One In.

Chris Thom

Oh God that gets to be stuck in my head for another decade. Lol

Just Plain Bob

Mark, there is a sequel to Cube. I liked it but not as well as the first. But it does have a bad rap, fairly or not.

Chris Thom

It's what reaction channels were made for.

Just Plain Bob

Richard, I NEVER thought you’d put “bad” movies on your list. I was just expecting more that I didn’t think were scary, after our discussion regarding modern horror. I was pleasantly surprised to find that most of the post-2000 stuff on your list was pretty freaking great. Even Doctor Sleep, which I found entertaining but not at all scary. Anyway, if we get even three movies from your list or mine it would be a considerably better reaction October than last year.

Richard Maurer

I somehow forgot to put Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) on the Trick list. My bad, I’m going to add it to the list.

Joe J

Excellent list Richard. I would like Polls for 50s-60s and 70s-80s. Maybe give the older films some chance. Here are some more to throw in the mix. Child's Play (88) Silver Bullet (85) Something Wicked this Way Comes (83) Invasion of the Body Snatchers (78) The Omen (76) The Legend of Hell House (73) Village of the Damned (60) The Blob (58) Curse of the Demon (57) Them! (54)

Old As Dirt Bert

Since I'll by flying home from a trip, thanks in advance if Old As Dirt Bert should win Pick-a-Flick (fat chance of that).

Richard Maurer

Bob - if they took the 3 worst movies from either of our lists it would still be a vast improvement over last years Halloween movies . :-)

Clarence Newman

I was Clay's wingman on the Lost In Translation campaign trail, yet you're only pleased for him. I'm hurt, my friend. Seems like favouritism.

Richard Maurer

I didn’t put much in the way of pre-70’s classic on the list because unless there was a poll (s) dedicated to them they would get destroyed. If there is ever another Classic horror poll I have a list ready for it.

Richard Maurer

I like them apples just fine pal, just fine!

Catherine LW

Legend of Hell House scared me to death when I was a little kid. My parents made me go to bed and said I was too young to watch it so I naturally sneaked out of my bedroom and crept down the hall and watched it because their backs were turned against me. I watched about a half hour of it then got scared and went back to bed. I had nightmares that night and never forgot them! I watched it in its entirety as an adult and it was scary although I had no nightmares! Anyone else remember that movie? Roddy McDowell and Pamela Franklin starred.

Joe J

I had suggested (4) era polls in some past post. Cassie watches the winner of each poll. Maybe just (3) polls if you have 90s - Present. 50s-60s 70s-80s 90s-2000s 2010s-Present

Richard Maurer

HH - give him a break, he’s a Englishman trying phonetically write a Boston accent.

Richard Maurer

Clarence - I already confirmed it for you.

Chris Thom

Dang I forgot Pick a Flick.

Richard Maurer

Brett - disagree totally, it is in fact a horror Icon. And between watching Constantine, Passion of the Christ, and Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, there’s nothing in Evil Dead that she hasn’t seen worse of already.

Joe J

I watched it again earlier this year. One of my favorites.

Joel Wayne

My scary but not too scary/comedy suggestions...... House (1985) - William Katt and George Wendt House 2: The Second Story (1987) - Bill Maher, John Ratzenberg and Arye Gross

Chris Thom

I think those got referenced in one of the Scream movies. Only place I've heard of those is in that, and a few times here.

Björn Karlsson

Trollhunter, Dog soldiers and Let the right one in 🥰🥰🥰

Chris Thom

Sounds good. Going to look for that on streaming. Also wanted to see one called Fear of the Dark? Or Afraid of Dark Places? Or something. Someone brought it up here and I wanted to see it. Think it was a TV movie back in the day.

JohnnyUtah

I love fall time, I'm also a big fan of winter, simply because I can watch all the movies inside I want without any judgement 😁

Steven Cass

Graham Greene passed away. Time to watch “Thunderheart!”

Just Plain Bob

Chris, you’re probably thinking of Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark. It was a tv movie in the 70s. Probably the scariest I’ve seen. It was then remade in 2010 with a script by Guillermo del Toro. The remake is fine but the original is better.

Joel Wayne

I've mentioned them at least one other time here....probably around this time last year...lol

Coleton B.

Katie Sivak, don't let the people telling you your opinion is wrong dissuade you from commenting in the future; I like your taste in movies and no one, I repeat - NO ONE - here has the 'ultimate take' on horror movies. Your opinion is as valid as theirs and no one's perspective is any more 'right' than anyone else, no matter how hard they stamp their feet.

Old As Dirt Bert

Do September's right away, Chris. For me, Pick-a-Flick the best chance I have of getting one of the oldies I like to be viewed by someone under 70.

Mike Lemon

The Last of His Tribe (1992) needs added to the list too.

Richard Maurer

Coleton - I was going write a long post about this but the truth is Ben settled this already - no insults, just my opinion, which is exactly what I gave, and what Katie asked me for.

Richard Maurer

They will get to Superman, hopefully soon. Wednesday would be great.

Chris Thom

Yes! That's the one. Thank you. Looked for it a few weeks ago on streaming and couldn't find it.

Rene G.

Yes I want a RINGU Japanese horror reaction not the US remakes of it.. Esp. The Grudge and One Missed Call, plus Shutter from thailand

Chris Thom

Yeah that sounds familiar. lol. Some of these are weirdly hard to find on streaming.

Rene G.

Calling it sexist or any other terms like these are getting tiresome. Stop ruining everyone's experience because of one "problematic" scene. Gen X babies like me are waaay built different than your current Tiktoker gen zers.

Richard Maurer

Yeah. the remake of Ringu (The Ring, for those who don’t know) is weak.

Rene G.

The twilight zone movie itself would suffice. It had multiple directors too, from Landis, Joe Dante, Spielberg etc.

Rene G.

"WHHHEERE'S MY CAAAKKKE!?!?"

Rene G.

Drag Me to Hell would probably give her a huuge heart attack on the amounth of loud jumpscares esp. the indian guy trying to read her mind then BOOM! JUMPSCARE! LOL

Richard Maurer

Yet some people here are fine with the Conjuring movies even though they’re wall to wall jumpscares. They’d have to peel Cassie off the ceiling if she watched them.

Rene G.

speaking of conjuring, I'm gonna see Last Rites today.. It's gonna be the last sequel to the conjuring universe. THank god..

Anthony Carlson

I just saw that. And I voted for small visuals, longer YT edit.

Chris Thom

My top suggestions for Super Scary October on this channel would probably be: Joy Ride (2002), Halloween H20 (1998), Scream 2 (1997), As Above So Below (2014), Doctor Sleep (2019), The Invitation (2015), The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003), Hannibal (2001) and Creep (2014).

Richard Maurer

Not really a fan of those movies, but to each their own, enjoy.

Milton Reduxed

Should she not watch Dusk Till Dawn before SInners, seeing as the later rips off the former?

Chris Thom

Yeah I wanted that too, but with Game of Thrones I don't know if it's the right time for another series. But it's a fantastic show.

Chris Thom

He suggested Magnolia as well. I still need to see Klute. Think I passed it on HBO Max the other day.

Rene G.

The 3rd one was my least fave.. But The Nun and Annabelle are better than that sequel.. Since they're all connected.

Chris Thom

They were discussing rewatching Signs the other day, so that might be a possibility this year.

Chris Thom

Happening sooner than I thought. Did think it would make it on the channel eventually, but wasn't sure how. I'm so glad.

Clay F

I would have voted for Bigger visuals, shorter YT edit. The bigger visuals are striking. But I have no skin in the game b/c I only watch full reactions. I do watch a couple of minutes of the YT reaction and click like, but the full reactions are my game.

Clay F

“Thunderheart” is my favorite Val Kilmer movie. Graham Greene is excellent. My favorite Val Kilmer performance is Doc Holiday.

JohnnyUtah

I actually really like house and house 2, couple of underrated Classics. Own them both from arrow video!

Richard Maurer

Can’t go into details because of spoilers but other than a couple of minor similarities the two films are nothing alike.

Clay F

+1 for The Fly, Sinners, Hellboy 2, and Rocky Horror. The Evil Dead (1981) is currently winning a poll on Jen Murray channel (beating BS Dracula). By the way, in TGWTDT reaction intro, Cassie said "I just hope it's not like Sin City."

Mojo One Thousand

The "Ber" months have the opposite meaning here. Hopefully it gets warmer here and less rain, we have so much rain in the last month. I will keep putting in my suggestions for October - "Wolf Creek", "Dead Calm", and I think Cassie would be okay with "The Substance". Also, a left of centre choice, but fits in its own way would be "Chopper".

Clay F

My suggestion for October is BLACK SWAN (2010). Natalie Portman won Best Actress Oscar. Lost in Translation will be a palate cleanser for Sin City, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Game of Thrones, The Accountant, Batman v Superman.

Joe J

Having to peel Cassie off the ceiling in October scaries....that's what dreams are made of around here, lol.

shaneth138

I swear, people that say it's a Dusk Till Dawn rip off clearly understood absolutely nothing about Sinners.

Richard Maurer

Maybe surprising, but that’s not really my dream. I rather she watch good horror movies than the ones that are just cheap jumpscares.

Richard Maurer

Agreed. Or they didn’t actually see it and are just going off the word of some internet grifter.

shaneth138

Oh please. Seeing that Sinners is a thousand times better than Dusk Till Dawn, I'd prefer Sinners. There is so much more to Sinners than the Vampire aspect and I feel bad for you if you don't see that. A+ acting. A+ Cinematography. A+ Dialogue. A+ score. A+ script. A+ subtext. I can go on and on. From Dusk Till Dawn has a 65% on rotten tomatoes for a reason. It's a fun but uneven surface level movie with nothing interesting to say. Acting like it's better than Sinners just because Quinten Tarantino is in it is narrow minded to put it nicely.

shaneth138

Yep exactly. I watched a guy on YouTube just recently say that he "liked it better when Dusk Till Dawn did it," then went on to clearly show that he understood nothing about what makes Sinners great. This dude Milton probably saw that same video and took his word for it and goes around regurgitating nonsense.

shaneth138

Oh nice! Great news!

Chris Thom

Wolf Creek is underrated.

Chris Thom

Black Swan is excellent. But I always think of that as a very dark Christmas movie. Think it even came out in mid December.

Erik Locquiao

Totally forgot to submit a pick-a-flick!!!…. I’m a cotton headed ninny muggins…

Mojo One Thousand

Based on true events, that makes it a bit creepier than if it was purely fictional. And, John Jarrett is great in it.

Sundiver

I suggested Dark City as a great "not too scary" option for October. It's not a horror movie by most people's definition, but I'd say it's creepy enough to make the cut. The director also made The Crow, which was a previous October viewing for Cassie. The only horror movies ranked above Dark City on the Popcorn Requests list are Little Shop of Horrors, The Fly, and They Live.

Raieldon

My favorite horror movies are Silence Of The Lambs and Perfect Blue. Kind of cheating as they're more mystery-y than horror-y. I love the idea of a double feature with Perfect Blue and Black Swan, given Aronofsky's well-known influence by Satoshi Kon, and the frequent comparison of the two films.

Milton Reduxed

''Director Ryan Coogler confirmed that Sinners was directly inspired by Robert Rodriguez' film From Dusk Till Dawn, with Coogler stating he idolized Rodriguez and drew inspiration from the 1996 classic and his 1998 film, The Faculty'' Happy to educate you

shaneth138

Yeah no crap lmao. Who are you educating exactly? I think you should educate yourself and learn the difference between having influences/paying homage to something and straight up ripping it off, which is what you arrogantly accused Coogler of doing. Not to mention Tarantino and Rodriguez pay homage to other movies in their movies just about as much as any other director in history. Again, if you can't see the differences between the two films then I feel really bad for your comprehension capabilities.

Raieldon

Sure is. Seen it at least three times.

Milton Reduxed

Say whatever you please, I'm not going to melt down if you say something I perceive as negative about a movie or director I like

My_Cousin_Mose

No Erik, you're not a cotton headed ninny muggins....you've increased my odds of victory by .03%!!!

Clarence Newman

I'm with Mose, Erik. I strongly encourage this kind of forgetfulness.

Clarence Newman

Forgive my denseness, guys, but what's a "small visual" and a "bigger visual"?

Clarence Newman

Agreed on rewatching films she's already reacted to, Flag (ZERO point, unless maybe to bring Carly in), but I would not be against certain films that she's only seen off-channel (Unstoppable, for example). I'm with you on prioritising films she hasn't seen, but every few months or so, a rewatch for Cassie that's new to us would be ok.

Clarence Newman

Which reminds me. I owe Mark a high five for DUEL. Up top, big guy!

kaiielle

Clarence, Cassie included images in the poll to show the difference.

Clarence Newman

That is very true. In my head, for example, it's pronounced "Mah-rer". And Richard, will you please, for the love of Gahd, stop using "a" when you should be using "an". We did not give you our beautiful language as an Independence Day prezzie so you could abuse it so. And don't get me started on what you did to the word "aluminium", the abuse of which is second only to what your plastic surgeons did to Jackie Stallone's face.

Clarence Newman

Oh, so it's the standard circle insets versus the new rectangular one?

Clarence Newman

Cassie: "Are your eyes closed?" Carly's little voice from behind the blanket: "Yes." Cassie: "I think that's good." I also love the way Carly, despite being behind the blanket, still jumped and squealed whenever Cassie jumped. She is so cute when she's scared.

Clarence Newman

Richard. What's your opinion of "Antichrist" with William H Macy? Strikes me as the epitome of shock-for-the-sake-of-it.

Clarence Newman

Used to be 4 to 5 days, Vincent, but copyright has become far more stringent this year.

Clarence Newman

She definitely can't do two series at the same time. No way Jose.

kaiielle

No, she is considering having herself full-screen the whole time and showing/hiding Game of Thrones down in the bottom of the screen.

Clarence Newman

I don't love it as a film, Chris, but I really do think Cassie dropped the ball on that one. The man SPECIFICALLY recommended it to her face!

Clarence Newman

I vote for keeping the Marla Hooch shot. Cassie's pretty tough to look at in close-up.

Clarence Newman

That is the Holy Grail, isn't it, Phillip? To have your Pick-a-Flick watched and still be able to take part in future Pick-a-Flicks. One thing I will say, though. While I don't expect to win PaF, I have been waiting for the film that's picked to be one I would have chosen anyway. 7 months in, that still hasn't happened.

Keith Brown

YT LIVE 09/06 4PM MST- translates to- Saturday September 6th 4pm Mountain Standard Time- so 6pm east coast time, 5pm central time and 3pm west coast time.

Richard Maurer

Clarence - This is what I get for defending you? I know when to use a instead of an - for instance, a - hole. (My phone changed a to an 3 times. My phone is a idiot) I know, in theory, the English created the English language, but given their history it seems more likely they stole it from the indigenous people who were there before them. I mean they can’t even pronounce simple words like aluminum, lieutenant, or schedule correctly. You’d swear they were speaking someone else’s language. And it’s pronounced “Mow (as in how) er”.

Jacob King

I just rewatched Picnic at Hanging Rock and realised it has a very young John Jarrett hooking up with a very young Jacqui Weaver.

Jacob King

Doctor Sleep is outstanding.

Richard Maurer

I liked Antichrist (2009) starring William Dafoe (was that a joke about Macy or did you honestly get them confused?). And while there are plenty of shock of the sake being shocking films, this, along with Martyrs, isn’t one of them. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. I would never recommend either film for Cassie, obviously.

Clarence Newman

My mistake. I always get those two mixed up. When I watched it, it just seemed like each specific shock scene (most of them unrelated to the story) were just put in there for the highest shock value possible. It kind of detracted from the movie.

Richard Maurer

I know the scene that you mean. Without getting into it too much I think the scene worked in the context of the film and while it was shocking, I think that was the point - it’s supposed to shock you.

Richard Maurer

Good films, but not really in the Halloween spirit, are they?

Richard Maurer

Just a thought. Could we all keep in mind these are films for Halloween we’re talking about? I like Black Swan. But when I think of movies to watch for Halloween, Black Swan doesn’t come to mind. It’s a movie that could be watched any other time of the year.

Richard Maurer

Doctor Sleep would be a good choice.

Richard Maurer

Erik - If only everyone except me would follow your lead……*sigh*

Clarence Newman

It's not just one scene, and I'm not sure the one you're talking about is a problem (if we're thinking of the same scene). It starts with the close up shower scene (never seen that in a mainstream film), then you have the fox that turns up, and then the baby bird. The scene you're thinking of is probably the uhh...."yikes that must've hurt" scene, but that was kind of relevant. All the standalone shock scenes (and I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple) were beautifully shot, but came across as deliberately trying to shock without advancing the story.

Clay F

I think Black Swan (psychological horror all the way) perfect for October. Unlikely to be reacted to outside of October especially because a scene in the trailer bothered/spooked her. It's the only movie I have requested for October. I am not trying to impose across the board what I think are appropriate movies for October -- but only a single movie. Richard -- there are several you have listed that I would vote for -- defer to you and others generally. Agree that much of last October was bad. The critically-acclaimed and modern Black Swan is only a single movie I would like to be given a chance. October is best chance with Cassie. BLACK SWAN (2010) (psychological horror/drama) [IMDb 8.0] for OCTOBER. --Natalie Portman won Best Actress Oscar. --The movie nominated 5 Oscars including Best Picture, Best Director. --Wikipedia calls it an "American psychological horror film." --The Google page for the movie gives genre as "horror/drama." --TV Tropes calls it a "psychological thriller horror film.” Maybe she could turn her head when that trailer scene that bothered her arises in the movie.

K, Zachary

Good Morning to Cassie, PIB and all her many many viewers. We are coming to you live from Southern California. I have no idea what we are going to do today. Our last full day here. However that's not important. We loved last we still got to watch Kpop which I can't get the song Golden out of my head. We watched the Outros to GOT we will be joining her for episode 10 this week. Speaking of Peter Dinkledge did you know he is in Dexter Resurrection? Episodes 3-9 all got a 10 from me on IMDB no show other than The Chosen has 7 straight 10s from me not even GOT. We watched The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo which we found absolutely sickening but we also liked it. This week season finale of GOT which we will watch just episode 10 not nine we just watched that. The Accountant looks awesome. YT Live which sounds like a awesome week. I won't able to attend the YT live. We will be buying a gift membership for someone. However my birthday was last Friday. Since I have been in SOCAL. My family is choosing to celebrate it this Friday and Saturday. I will be out with my siblings during the YT Live. Son of a. When I was thinking about a song I could share with you I thought about Angry by the Rolling Stones since they drive Sunset Strip but I was told that some might find that offensive given Sidney Sweeney's outfit. So I decided to go with something much simpler since we spent all day at the San Diego Zoo yesterday here is Simon and Garfunkel with At The Zoo https://youtu.be/cDu7eitZrgw?si=B8wOzRt5xhB1SWj0 Crisp fall air watching Anne Of Green Gables apple picking, Steelers football. What a season We bid you all a Good Day

Joe J

I voted for smaller visuals, longer edit. For the edit, a small rectangle of the show is much preferred IMO. 63% of voters agree. Viewers are watching Cassie's reaction, not the show itself. With a longer edit, we see more of Cassie and the show.

Joe J

Maybe it's the editor's workload. I assume he has other clients?

David Matthews

As a young man, when the movie released, I'd never have considered to watch "Lost In Translation" so I skipped it. But a long time later, now a father of two and approaching 40, I decided to check which Oscar winning movies I'd missed over the years, and I watched Lost In Translation and I gotta admit - that movie has something magical. It's so difficult to describe, the appeal of it - the dynamics, the emotions, the performances. On the surface just a simple - almost boring - circumstantial story. But the characters are mesmerizing. I do think you gotta be a little older to appreciate it. Glad I waited.

David Matthews

Natalie was great in Black Swan but Mila Kunis stole it for me - she was drop dead in that movie. Portman should have won an oscar for Leon.

David Matthews

For scary month, I'd suggest going hard and going weird. Conjuring - because it's a rarely great story for a horror movie Hereditary - genuinely the scariest movie I've ever seen Braindead - Peter Jacksons masterpiece is so overlooked The Crucible - Daniel Day on finest form and Winona Ryder too

Richard Maurer

Clay - I wouldn’t care - except we get, if we’re very lucky, four real horror movies per year. Most years it’s been considerably less than four. And even the ones we get aren’t always the best ones. So forgive me if I gate keep a little.

Joe J

FYI - TBR Schmitt's actual reaction times for Severance episodes are on average just above 20 minutes per episode. And he is still using his normal larger show visuals & smaller reactor insert.

David Matthews

28 Weeks Later then .... in preparation for 28 Years Later!

Johnny Bullis

Hi Cassie.. I wont be able to make it to the live event on Saturday.. are you gonna have a replay of it on here after? I ask because I sent you something in the mail and wanted to see if you liked it.

Just Plain Bob

Cassie always posts these events to YouTube shortly after they’re completed. By shortly, I mean usually within minutes. You won’t miss a thing.

Scott Macaulay

Winter is coming. And so is Halloween. And Christmas! And white walkers! 😂👏

Joe J

Sin City is gone from YT...copyright takedown. Sorry to see that, it was doing well with views.

Florian Zingen

Any idea when GoT is going to be released on Patreon? 🥹

Clay F

My guess is tomorrow (Thursday) or Friday.

Clay F

Well said. Sofia Coppola transforms aspects on the surface that could be considered boring (mundane) into something magical with mesmerizing characters.

Clay F

"We watched The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo which we found absolutely sickening but we also liked it." Yep.

David Matthews

Bill Murray in a serious role (kinda...). A teenage Scarlett Johanson absolutely killing it, even the long scenes with no dialogue, acting her heart out. And a young director in Sophia. I know she has the genetics but still .... I wonder how much of the amazing performances were influenced (especially from Scarlett) by Sofias direction. It's one of those movies that we didn't exactly need but are all extremely happy we got.

Clarence Newman

First of all, we have no indigenous people. Unless you count the Liverpudlians, who were here first but have never properly developed. They did give us The Beatles, though, so we let them stay. 'Aluminum' is a truncated contraction of a word, created by lazy Americans overwhelmed by the profusion of unnecessary vowels in the actual word. It always gives us a chuckle. I'll give you 'lieutenant', because there is literally no argument that justifies pronouncing 'lieu' as 'lef'. I blame the toffs and therefore relinquish all responsibility. Speaking of British toffs, here's a pop quiz for you. How is this British surname pronounced?.....Featherstonehaugh. You will NOT believe it! I'm not sure why we pronounce it 'shed-yool' instead of 'sked-yool, given the fact that we say 'skool' and not 'shool'. Perhaps the guy in charge of the first dictionary was particularly fond of Schweppes. You've completely got 'a-hole' wrong, though. Our version is accurate, while yours translates as 'donkey-hole'. I await your guess on the British surname. Guess it without cheating (honour code) and I'll give you my Pick-a-Flick next month. This offer stands for anyone else who beats you to it.

Richard Maurer

No indigenous people? Never heard of the Picts?

Clarence Newman

Oh, and thank you for clarifying the pronunciation of your name. I have always read it as 'More-er'.

Richard Maurer

As for a guess, not going to do it. If I’m not allowed to cheat I’m not interested.

kaiielle

Game of Thrones can be difficult to pass copyright. Some channels use watermarks to obscure, like Diegesis on certain episodes. I'm not sure about Severance. It is likely not as bad.

Chris Thom

You have an addiction son! lol

Chris Thom

White Walkers are kind of a January sort of species. lol

Clarence Newman

Wise choice, because you would never have got it and would've been voting for Cannonball Run next month. (Hidden rule number 2.) Are you ready for this? Featherstonehaugh is actually pronounced "Fanshaw". FANSHAW! Have you ever heard anything so toff-ish in your whole life?

Chris Thom

Same. Didn't even cross my mind.

Clarence Newman

Now Cassie has decided to attack my wishlist by watching Game of Thrones PLUS 2 of my fave movies every month without fail (no backsliding, missy), I feel the need to come up with a whole new list of exciting suggestions. Check out these bad boys: HUD (1963) - I swear to God, Cassie, stand Chris Hemsworth next to Paul Newman as he looked in this movie and you're gonna make a big Australian cry. Hemsworth looks like two butts sewn together in comparison. FIDDLER ON THE ROOF (1971) - Love and honour in 1890s Russia, with a great central performance by Topol. You'll be singing "If I Were A Rich Man" for days after. FREEBIE & THE BEAN (1974) - Funniest buddy cop movie ever, starring Alan Arkin, Sonny Corleone from The Godfather and Hotlips Houlihan from M*A*S*H. THE MARATHON MAN (1976) - Dustin Hoffman and Laurence Olivier on fine form. Please please please, watch this film the night before you go back to the dentist for your root canal. It will vastly improve your experience in the chair. PORKY'S (1981) - Hilarious coming-of-age movie if you like that sort of thing, and I'm ashamed to say I do. Samantha from Sex & The City is in it and it's a wee bit puerile. I basically want to try and break your "Oh My Gosh" meter. PERFECT (1985) - Jamie Lee Curtis in a somewhat different role from the frumpy school kid in Halloween. Her outfits have no bearing on this film's inclusion. WILDCATS (1986) - You will genuinely love this one. Goldie Hawn gets a job as football coach at an inner city school and joyful froilcs ensue. AWOL (1990) - Jean-Claude Van Damme in fine form, fighting to protect a mother and her daughter. If it helps, you get to see JCVD's butt. THE MULE (2018) - Clint Eastwood in a Gollum suit, delivering cocaine for a cartel, so what could possibly go wrong? That'll do it for now. I'd just upload the entire list as your next poll if I were you. It'll save you a lot of bother.

Clarence Newman

Are you starting to twitch, Florian? I started twitching around 3pm yesterday. C'maaaaaahhhn!

Florian Zingen

I've been following Cassie on YT for years, but GoT made me become a Patreon. I'm really looking forward to seeing how she reacts to the story, the twists and turns, the ups and downs. Those of us who already know and love the series know what lies ahead. Her GoT journey is a long-cherished wish of mine 🤝🏼

TechJJ

Glad Cassie decided to priority-insert K-Pop Demon Hunters. Great choice to include Carly also.

Joe J

"Two butts sewn together", "Gollum suit". 😂 😂😂

Ted Whalen

Clarence- who do you think Cassie would like more from Porky’s- Meat or Pee-Wee?

Richard Maurer

Joe - you bothered to read all that?

Clarence Newman

She'll have a soft spot for Pee-Wee for sure, Ted, but her fave will be Beulah Ballbricker. I personally want to see her reaction to the paging of Michael Hunt.

Clarence Newman

You know he read it, Joe. He secretly marvels at my virtuosity.

Richard Maurer

I tried to read it, got to Porky’s and figured it must be a bad joke, and I wasn’t interested in the punchline.

Mike Lemon

Full reactions are usually (not a schedule) Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday nights, with Monday being a makeup day. "Night" can be into the next morning.

Mike Lemon

I'll suggest again- mirror to Rumble. YouTube sucks, always have a backup.

Richard Maurer

KatWatchesHorrorMovies posted a reaction to Let the Right One In on YouTube today (this comment is mostly for Bjorn Karlsson).

Joe J

Bjorn's gonna be doing back-flips down the hall, lol.

Joe J

It's a view getter on YT...strike while the iron's hot.

Gray

Alot of us wouldn't touch rumble with a barge pole, its backup is here on the patreon anyhow.

Clarence Newman

Porky's is Dead Poet's Society with condom balloons. A true slice of American culture.

Richard Maurer

Even back in the 80’s it was often (correctly) considered to be trash.

Mike Lemon

That is just foolish. I would bet you couldn't give a reason based in reality and not in bigotry for your stance. Plus there are many people that aren't on Patreon.

Just Plain Bob

This is humiliating. I agree with Clarence on Porky’s.

Byrd N. Hand

Yes, Richard, how dare an Australian director attempt to interpret a story that couldn't have happened anywhere other than America... 🤨

TechJJ

Yes, view getter drives the reaction as a business. Luckily the content justifies. Not only my kids love them, so do I. Watched at least 5 times and more than 20 reactors on YT! And I'm sure I'm not the crazy one.

Byrd N. Hand

My only issue with Sofia Coppola is her tendency to get a little too 'girly' for me at times... which is why I continue to pass on "Marie Antoinette," "The Bling Ring" (in addition to its godawful title 🤮), and "The Beguiled" (along with the fact that I'm not so sure Don Siegel's initial 1971 adaptation can be topped). I still really want to see "On the Rocks," but it continuing to be an AppleTV+ exclusive and its lack of any sort of physical media release makes it impossible for me to do so... 🙄

Mike Lemon

I didn't say anything political. But while you're here- why did the uploads stop. I was enjoying watching the older stuff as it came up, eagerly awaiting Maverick (the western/comedy). Then it just stopped.

Philip Alan

Halloween 2 is a MUST (before H20)!

Popcorn In Bed

The conversation was heading in that direction. Let's just please keep about the movies/shows. We might start the Rumble uploads up again in the future, but it's more time consuming than I can handle right now. -Ben

Clay F

I remember how hot Jamie Lee Curtis (especially in her suits) is in PERFECT (1985).

Mike Lemon

That's odd. I wonder what your workflow was? I watched a YouTube to Rumble mirror tutorial and it only took a few minutes (minus the actual upload time). Oh well. But with the copyright problems PIB seems to be having with YouTube, I hope the resuming starts back up fairly soon.

TheSingulatarian

Jamie Lee is the only reason to watch that move. The plot is the definition of Meh.

TheSingulatarian

A couple more for Halloween. The Hand That Rocks the Cradle (1992) Fatal Attraction (1987) Near Dark (1987)

Chris Thom

I don't know if it's that important (on this particular channel). I think she would enjoy the cast of H20 a lot more.

Clay F

Florian, welcome aboard. For drops, I like to think of her week as running from WED (first day) (very rarely a drop) to TUE (last day). So a drop on Thu or Fri is early in her week, which she has been favoring GoT in that way.

Mike Lemon

The Perfect Host (2010)- she might like (or not hate) this one since it is a thriller. Strangeland (1998)- I'm curious what her reaction would be to the sub-culture represented. Ghost Town (2008)- Just so Carly has something in October too.

Richard Maurer

Near Dark - I actually meant to put that one on my list but I forgot.

Cole Jennett

I’ve suggested The Hand that Rocks the Cradle for one I think Carly could potentially sit in on. Also The Good Son

Philip Alan

Be that as it may, I think part 2 is a great installment. WAYYYYYY better than H20, IMO. I'm a huge Halloween (movie) fan. And I haven't watched H20 in decades. Halloween & Halloween 2 is a MUST every year for me! But I digress. :)

Chris Thom

Aww come on H20 is solid fun. Laurie screaming "MICHAAEELLL!" and challenging him to a duel. Chills. I don't get why people get down on it. It's so pretty to look at too. Great cinematography.

Cole Jennett

I think her best role was one of her smallest. Beautiful Girls came out 2 years later and she stole every scene she was in.

Chris Thom

Fatal Attraction could be fun on the channel. Cassie might have some feelings about that plot predicament. I've never heard of Near Dark. Is that a vampire thing?

Chris Thom

Let Me In was pretty solid too. Great cast.

Richard Maurer

Chris - I’m not a fan of remakes in general, of foreign films in particular. They’re usually unnecessary, especially in the case of foreign films.

Clarence Newman

Important to remember that Richard hates the 80s. I think that was the decade Van Helsing caught up with him. Therefore, his opinion on Porky's and Perfect shall be considered extraneous and peripheral.

My_Cousin_Mose

I recommend you watch The Blaire Witch Project this October because it is my favorite scary movie. But its really not that scary.

Clarence Newman

The Singulatarian is correct. Nevertheless.....

Björn Karlsson

Haha that sounds great 😄 (Forget about back-flips 🤣)

Byrd N. Hand

I feel quite a few reactors have had trouble with that one. Hopefully it eventually returns with all views still intact, as "No Country for Old Men" recently did (though "The Rainmaker" and "An Officer and a Gentleman" have yet to do so 🤔).

Clarence Newman

I forgot one really good and underappreciated movie when I did my list. A Man Apart (2003) - Vin Diesel

Clarence Newman

Great movie, IF you approach it in the right way. If you approach it from the other direction, it's probably meh. Just a note: If anyone wants to respond to that, pleeeeease be careful of spoilers. Most of you already know what I'm talking about.

My_Cousin_Mose

It's definitely a love it or hate it kind of movie. And if that right way you mean is like it's 1999 I think Cassie is good at doing that.

Clay F

Below are the results of the PR #1-50 Poll last week. 1. The Accountant (2016) – 386 **2. Wonder Woman (2017) – 364** 3. Dr Strangelove (1964) – 316 4. Short Circuit (1986) – 303 5. Sixteen Candles (1984) – 274 6. Jackie Brown (1997) – 270 7. Panic Room (2002) – 264 8. Donnie Brasco (1997) – 155 9. Moonstruck (1982) – 153

Richard Maurer

Clarence - as usual you misinterpret what I’ve said. I never said I hate 80’s movies. I think they’re mostly incredibly overrated, as people tend to look at that era through coke bottle nostalgia goggles, as any praise of the movie ‘Porky’s’ attests to. But still there are a fair amount of good movies from that era - mostly horror movies though.

Milton Reduxed

It's like a student project and boring as heck I am astonished to learn it cost as much as 60K when it was just a*holes in the woods with a camcorder for 8 days

Clarence Newman

What I mean by "the right way" is...what you know and don't know about it going in. (Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.) You see what I mean about spoilers.

Chris Thom

That would make for some good seasonal fun on the channel.

Clarence Newman

It's a perfect "Trick" movie for October. Just let me (or Mose, or someone else who appreciates the movie) to prep her for it (by way of basic heads-up) AND give her a sealed envelope to be opened directly after watching.....and it'll make for a great reaction she will be glad she watched.

Clarence Newman

How come Richard's posts are getting more likes than mine? Is he dropping likes on himself again?

Richard Maurer

Any like you get is a mercy like - like the one I just put on your post above.

Scott Macaulay

Yeah I’m hoping they come after December. But my birthday is on New Years, so the Night’s Watch better step it up.

Chris Thom

Was just watching a vid of theories of what's actually happening in the plot. Not sure if it makes it more scary, or less. But I'm thinking maybe more scary, at the moment.

Chris Thom

Have to admit I was pretty age-ist in avoiding The Mule. But I am curious now.

Chris Thom

Glad Dr. Strangelove did as well as it did for some reason. And I haven't even seen it yet. But always happy for a Kubrick to get some traction.

Ted Whalen

Clay- what does the double asterisks for Wonder Women mean?

Richard Maurer

Chris - it’s pretty good. Not quite Gran Torino good, but good.

Win

NFL football starts today I recommend you watch American Underdog true story

Joe J

I hope we can get Pitch Black and The Chronciles of Riddick one day.

Ted Whalen

American Underdog is a really good movie. I was a big Kurt Warner fan.

Joe J

One of the other reactors I follow is Totally Whatever. Two sisters who have an engaging genuine reacting style. Up later this week from them is "The Quick and the Dead". I'm sure it's on Cassie's short-list for a PPoTM, right? 🙄

Joe J

"Heartbreak Ridge" is another good one from Clint. Can't believe he's 95 now. Getting old is a mofo.

JB

Instead of having a not so scary October should just marathon GoT, and then a normal movie a week.

AdrianF

Are we there yet? Are we there yet? I know I said this last week, but I'm gonna be up in the middle of the night again, aren't I? I might be alone, but there are two reasons I watch reac stuff: to get as close to how I felt first time while watching others going through it, and to watch others going through it...

Joe J

Cassie, as a way to get some older scary movies in October, please consider doing these era polls. You watch the winner of each poll. 50s & 60s 70s & 80s 90s & 2000s 2010s to the Present

Just Plain Bob

Joe, how about Riddick? I thought it was a nice throwback to the smaller story of the first film.

Rene G.

not gonna happen

Just Plain Bob

Go in the opposite direction. Drop GoT for the month and make it all horror.

Clay F

Ted — the double asterisks are simply meant to point it out - to draw attention to it.

Clarence Newman

Focus, guys. As I wrote the OP, I've got dibs on the first Vin Diesel film Cassie watches, so Riddick will have to wait.

Clarence Newman

I'll take any likes I can get, Richard. The last one from Cassie was in 2021.

Richard Maurer

No GoT October - I can get behind that.

Just Plain Bob

Yeah, but the movies Joe mentioned are better than the one you picked.

Richard Maurer

They’re probably going to watch WW anyway, if they keep going with the DCEU.

Gray

I'm loving the GoT reactions but even I wouldn't mind a break for Oct to pack in some of the great horrors still to watch.

Richard Maurer

Still lying? I saw one of your posts get a like from her a couple of days ago. Pull the other one.

Chris Thom

PIB October is essential viewing.

Clay F

Agree but I would rather see a reaction to WW sooner than later. I think WW even more certain after Carly’s endorsement.

Richard Maurer

See what I told you about picking better movies Clarence? This is what happens. Count me in for the 3 Riddick movies

Clay F

While GoT has horror, I think sticking w/GoT once a week in October instead of doing more GoT in October is most likely. On the other end, I don't think she eliminates GoT in October, as that would be too disruptive for her YT GoT fans -- kill the rhythm.

Richard Maurer

Just occurred to me that Kat has watched Dog Soldiers too. All she needs is Troll Hunter to complete the Bjorn trifecta.

JB

I would say 2 ep GoT, one scary movie & then one normal movie, not just a full scary movie month, poor thing seems to dread it every year.

Clay F

Seems like a good approach. Yet, I am trying to decide if I like better your approach or simply going with Richard's list as a basis. May be moot b/c I doubt she does much polling for October and instead simply chooses what movies to react to -- infuenced by her interests and her team's advice, and maybe influenced by mention of scary movies in patron comments.

Clay F

BLACK SWAN (2010) (psychological horror/drama) [IMDb 8.0] for OCTOBER. --Natalie Portman won Best Actress Oscar. --The movie nominated 5 Oscars including Best Picture, Best Director. --Wikipedia calls it an "American psychological horror film." --The Google page for the movie gives genre as "horror/drama." --TV Tropes calls it a "psychological thriller horror film.” Maybe you could turn your head when that trailer scene that bothered you arises in the movie.

Clarence Newman

Your endorsement has convinced me, Richard. A Man Apart is clearly superior.

Clarence Newman

That one was purely to confirm that my schedule of upcoming YT edits was accurate, so it doesn’t count. I need me some sugar.

Clarence Newman

The Hitcher would be great. Cassie would have serious mixed feelings for Rootbeer Hauer.

Richard Maurer

Superior to Cannonball Run? I agree.

Richard Maurer

She barely watches anything actually scary as it is. No to GoT, no to “normal” movies for October. No reason to break with tradition for GoT.

Richard Maurer

Clay I do agree there’s a tradition of mostly ignoring the advice of the horror fans, no matter how reasonable we try to make the requests. Which is how we ended up with a bunch of action movies last year. Most of the movies on my list avoid the constant jump scares that seem to be the thing that bothers Cassie the most. A few of the movies on my list push her boundaries, but not as much as other, non horror films she’s already watched have done.

Joe J

I assume she will do TRICK polls and TREAT polls like last year. The question is how is she sourcing the films for the polls? Not from our recommedations for the most part.

Joe J

We only get one month for horror...so the more the better.

Clay F

That’s true Joe — I forgot about the TRICK poll and TREAT poll. Yeah, she have a command over what are the poll candidates.

Chris Thom

Do you know what you're watching for October? Do we get to vote?

Joe J

Of the (12) "scaries" watched last year, Cassie chose (7) herself, (5) were from polls.

Chris Thom

Curious what the best are from the 50's. I literally can't think of any. Except for maybe Invasion of the Body Snatchers? Think that might be when the original came out.

Joe J

See my top 50's picks below Chris. Regarding Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Cassie has promised to watch the 78 remake with Goldblum, Sutherland, and Nimoy, so I leave the 56 original off my personal lists. Horror of Dracula (58) The Mummy (59) House of Wax (53) The Blob (58) Curse of the Demon (57) Them! (54)

Just Plain Bob

Chris, 1950s horror classics include: *Invasion of the Body Snatchers *Horror of Dracula (Hammer) *The Thing from Another World (remade by John Carpenter) *Them! *Creature from the Black Lagoon *The Curse of Frankenstein (Hammer) It’s an embarrassment of riches. PS: That’s just the cream of the crop IMO. There’s at least a half dozen others I think are really good but don’t personally consider classics. And at least two dozen that are ok but nothing special.

Richard Maurer

You already know what I’d vote for on those polls.

David Matthews

I used to watch American football back in the day when the Bengals and the 49's were at the top. Joe Montana and Jerry Rice etc. Saw the movie "Draft Day" with Kevin Costner and thought that was a great movie. Comedy, suspense, drama and it had great pacing.

Chris Thom

Cassie's outfit for the K Pop thing got me questioning commitments to Sparkle Motion but got me thinking maybe it's a sign. Maybe it's the year for Donnie Darko (2001)? Seasonal/Halloween and eerie vibes without being too overtly scary. Probably Carly-safe. Don't think there's been a Richard Kelly movie on the channel yet.

Richard Maurer

Donnie Darko is a good movie. But is it a Halloween movie? Not really horror, more weird Sci-Fi than anything.

Richard Maurer

Symbols - it’s kind of funny that they’re upset about the idea of not having a 9 month series around for 1 month, but it’s fine if horror fans lose 4 spots out of the 1 month a year that we get for the films we like.

Björn Karlsson

Cool!!! I've seen some reactions of DS. I think I need to check out her channel 😃😃

David Bockly

Actually, Cassie time will probably be closer to 4:15pm MST, 5:15pm CST and 6:15 EST LOL 😂

Chris Thom

For this channel specifically I think it is. It's set in fall and there's a Halloween costume party near the movie's climax.

Milton Reduxed

Donnie Darko crescendos on Halloween night, is set entirely during October, so is a very seasonal movie, but Cassie's already seen it I think

Clay F

I think she could consider it horror or a Halloween movie, but Popcorn Requests gives genre as "Drama, Mystery, Sci-Fi, Thriller." The Google page for Donnie Darko gives genre as "Sci-fi/Thriller." Wikipedia calls it a "science fiction psychological thriller." Rotten Tomatoes gives genre as Drama/Sci-Fi/Fantasy.

Richard Maurer

As I said, not horror. This is one of my least favorite things about Halloween here. All the vaguely horror adjacent recommendations.

Chris Thom

It's an uphill battle because I just don't think she likes horror all that much. On the LIVE she said last year she was having a hard time because it was too much to watch them all back to back. I said "maybe you should spread them out more and not cram them all into one season" and she agreed that might be better. But last year wasn't even that hardcore at all...so not sure what to think. Would imagine with Game of Thrones and Passion of the Christ and The Pianist and whatnot it might be different now. But I don't know.

Mike Lemon

@Flag- Same goes for the Trekites, the Marvel bros, the DC guys, and the "we have to watch every t******* sequel" people.

Richard Maurer

We know she doesn’t like horror. She doesn’t like a lot of things that win the polls. But Cassie made the decision to watch some horror movies at Halloween every year. I think most horror fans might actually prefer if she spread them out more during the year, I know I would. She could then just have a Halloween week at the end of the month. The only problem I could see is that there would need to be some kind of commitment to watching them the rest of the year. While I’m not saying Cassie would lie about it, some things do get pushed to the side here, and I could see that easily happening with horror movies during the year. So if she were to promise say, two horror movies a quarter, with at least one of them being a “Trick” level film, I think most horror fans would be okay with it.

Richard Maurer

I have a question. About how long do the YouTube Lives last? Not looking for an exact time, just a rough average. The reason I ask is I have something to do Saturday night but I might be able to push it back if the live doesn’t go too long.

Richard Maurer

Mike - the Marvel bros? Really? She’s skipped most of the Disney+ series and several of the movies but you hardly hear a complaint from the marvel fans. Even most of the DC fans don’t insist she watch every DC movie. Agree about the trekkers and the sequels though

Mike Lemon

" the Marvel bros? Really? " Not now, but back then... "most of the DC fans don’t insist she watch every DC movie. " Not every, but most of them- I don't think anybody has mentioned Aquaman 2 or Green Lantern.

Chris Thom

The package openings can take a minute, depending on if the tops of the boxes have already been cracked open or not. Also if there are games and trivia. This is going to have both, I think. It's been a while since she opened things, so assuming there will be quite a few.

Richard Maurer

Well someone did ask for Wonder Woman 1984, so you might have a point.

Rakesh

There is one scary movie that I loved Its never mentioned but for a low budget movie it's a brilliant sci -fi/ horror. Circle (2015) no known faces. Just superb setup and execution. A gem. RT score don't do it justice. Trust me this is worth a watch. Source : Me.

Chris Thom

My first thought was that sci-fi thriller about the uber controlling social media company with the girl from Harry Potter. But I don't think that's the one you're talking about.

Rakesh

Endorsement?

Clay F

Yes — endorsement of WW

bgb1975 (Brian)

Shoot! Probably gonna miss it this afternoon. I'm in the middle of a group trip exploring the Canadian Rockies and Glacier National Park - Waterton, Banff, Jasper, Lake Louise. The highlight of the tour was when the tour director announced all the celebrities that visit the area every year, including but not limited to the stars of PiB. I almost fainted.

Richard Maurer

Yeah this a pretty good movie. Kind of a variation on the Cube theme.

Chris Thom

Oh yeah I remember that being on Netflix a while ago. Interesting trailer. Looks like it was an inspiration for Squid Game.

Chris Thom

Seriously? He mentioned Cassie and Carly?

bgb1975 (Brian)

No. He didn't. But I think he should have.

Peter Morscheck

I'd like to plant a seed for a reaction to Thelma and Louise. It's the ultimate road trip movie but doesn't really fit cleanly into the typical poll categories (err... '90s action? A stretch.) It's a classic - won the Oscar for Original screenplay that year and put Brad Pitt on the map.

Just Plain Bob

Let’s flip it on its head. For Tender November, why not load it up with movies such as Hellboy and The Fly? Both have love stories that are central to the movie, making them “tender”, technically. It would be no different than what “scary but not too scary” viewing has become. One kind of movie shoe horned in as a different genre altogether.

Chris Thom

Hannibal was, in it's own special way, a heartwarming tale of unconditional love and an uncommon personal and professional bond. Heart eyes.

Just Plain Bob

Chris, that’s the whole purpose behind devoting October to “scary” movies. It provides a built in excuse to not watch horror movies. None are reacted to the rest of the year and, during October, we get two or three. Because watching nothing but true horror would just be “too much.” Horror movies make up 10% of all films (so the AI told me). It currently comprises about 2% of the annual reactions (3 films out of approximately 150 reacted to). To be fairly represented would require one film a month with a week of horror at Halloween. That’ll NEVER happen.

Just Plain Bob

Just my 2 cents on Donnie Darko. It’s not remotely a horror film, so it would fit right in. But I do prefer the theatrical cut; they explain too much in the director’s cut, eliminating some of the mystery/ambiguity.

Chris Thom

Don't think I've seen the director's cut, but not sure. Definitely not horror, but could be some seasonal spookiness to start off with. But anyways I was reading an old critical review of the film yesterday and it referred to the main character as a psychopath multiple times. Did I miss something? He was troubled for sure and maybe depressive, but I never thought of the character like that.

Just Plain Bob

Chris, if Donnie was a psychopath he sure had a strange way of showing it. His sacrifice at the end would seem to be the opposite reaction from what I’d expect of a psychopath.

Joe J

Besides GoT, curious what's up for next week. Maybe Lost in Translation and Justice League? Or she may want to watch Wonder Woman before JL. PAF winner could be a choice also.

Clarence Newman

We planted those seeds a long time ago, Peter, but your watering can is most welcome. In my opinion, that film is high on the list of "How has she not seen this yet?"

Clarence Newman

Just got back from Lincoln. May pop in briefly if it doesn't start late, but it's well past time for my Horlicks.

Richard Maurer

I’m never watching one of these Lives again.

Richard Maurer

Cassie said on the live she’s watching Sinners and The Fly this Halloween- so some good news.

Just Plain Bob

Other good news. Cannonball Run lost its poll. I’m sure that now Clarence will come to his senses and drop it.

Richard Maurer

Unfortunately Ip Man lost too, can’t have everything I guess.

Stephen Dias

I agree with "Wonder Woman" before "Justice League."

Clay F

"In the Name of the Father" won the PAF -- I am pumped.

Chris Thom

Is Sinners good? Is it a vampire thing? I know it's on HBO constantly right now.

Clay F

Finally get The Fly. Also looking forward to Sinners. She reiterated that Hereditary, Human Centipede, and Exorcist are a "no." She also said that "Strangers" is a "no" as advised by her brother. For me, I like Cannonball losing. For Clarence, I don't like Cannonball losing, and admittedly (and perversely) would have liked the win for him. And Bob, your comment must be /s -- you know he won't come to his senses.

Clay F

Lost in Translation, Wonder Woman, and Game of Thrones would be an absolutely awesome week.

Chris Thom

The vintage commercials were a nice touch. That was surreal to see all those again back to back. Took me right back there to that time.

Richard Maurer

Every time I’ve tried to do the trivia something happens and I don’t get to participate. This time Cassie decided not to do it. I give up.

Grad

Nosferatu week? That's a very good idea.

Chris Thom

Have to admit, I always thought The Strangers would make for a compelling October reaction on the channel. A little bummed about that.

Richard Maurer

I don’t think Strangers is actually that bad, not even saying that because I’m a fan. I don’t really care if she watches it. But one person told Cassie it’s bad and that’s the end of it.

Steve

I feel like saying this…when it’s time to watch an “Olympics movie”, this is it… 🤷🏼‍♂️ MUST WATCH: “The First Olympics Athens 1896” is something you MUST SEE. It’s family friendly, and it’s a 2-part movie shown on tv in the 80’s, about the Olympics, as we know them now, being fired up, after ancient times. Mainly told from the perspective of some plucky, hopeful student-athletes, and some others, trying to make it to the starting line! The kids should LOVE it, especially knowing it’s actually history and the US kinda kicks butt. The grownups should love it as well. It’s some feel-good/historical storytelling and it’s rated PG.(I think) Even if not for the channel, ya should definitely look up “The First Olympics Athens 1896” for your own selves. On YT, it’s listed in 2 parts.

Cole Jennett

It was her brother, so I think that obviously holds more weight than an average person

Richard Maurer

The only genre as subjective as horror is comedy. But trying to guess what horror will be “too much” for someone else is even harder than guessing what comedy they will find the funniest. When I make a list horror films for Cassie I don’t use my parameters because almost nothing horror film-wise scares me. My list of films is really just my best guess. But that goes for everyone here.

Steve

(I think just about everyone on the channel would enjoy “The First Olympics Athens 1896”.) 🤷🏼‍♂️

Chris Thom

Would fit nicely on a Ridley Scott poll. I think she's done Blade Runner, Gladiator, Alien...and that might be it?

Chris Thom

Sounds interesting. Had never heard of that. I always wanted to see the site of the ancient Olympics in person. My folks got to go a few years ago and I'm jealous.

Clarence Newman

Always up for a good sports movie, Steve.

Clarence Newman

Sigh. This is my lot in life. Me and Clay have fought some campaigns on here, but even he thinks supporting me with Cannonball Run makes him a pervert.

Clarence Newman

The Fly's a result for me and Richard and I might even get Nosferatu 1922. Not concerned about Bob’s continued harangment. If it becomes too hurtful, I can just switch to World’s Fastest Indian and I’ll be back in the ball game.

Clarence Newman

I kind of agree with Richard (a little bit). Chat shoots by so fast it’s hard to keep up and you find yourself missing what Cassie’s doing. It gave me a perfect excuse to ignore him, so that was a result, but it would need to be a bit less bustling to be really fun (which I know the Extra Butters are). Also, it started at 11:15 and ended just before 3am for me. Can’t be doing that too often.

Clarence Newman

Could’ve been a bad night for me. Cannonball Run lost its poll (after being 2% ahead for ages!), then Cassie lost my package, then she got plaster in her eye and nearly required an ambulance. Fortunately, she then found my package, which means Ben is wearing his Cannonball Run shirt as we speak and Cassie is getting curious, and she eventually recovered from her optical crisis. She ended the feed with one eyelash still in place, looking like the spork from Toy Story 4. Very attractive. I decided to go the whole distance this time (till 3am) and had fun, but that may be the only time. I need my beauty sleep.

Clarence Newman

Where's the live recording at? Shouldn't it at least be on here?

Clay F

Thelma & Louise has been my PAF a couple of times.

Richard Maurer

Clarence - the Chats are always just people begging Cassie to notice them, spamming random comments as fast as they can. Not an actual conversation. Always the worst part of any live.

Richard Maurer

While Cassie said she might watch all three versions Nosferatu, there’s actually a forth “Nosferatu” film - Shadow of the Vampire (2000). Not a retelling of the same Nosferatu story, but instead an interesting variant, I’d rather she watched this version than the 1979 version, which isn’t as good as Robert Eggers 2024 Nosferatu anyway.

Richard Maurer

I’d rather she watched Shadow of the Vampire (2000) than Nosferatu (79) - just to give it a little variety. Watching basically the same film (same plot anyway) three times in a row is a bit much.

Johnny Bullis

Where is the recording? I missed it last night and wanted to see it today.

MikeLL

I'm sure it will be up on YouTube in a few hours today. I missed the whole thing yesterday due to work - dagnabbit! Maybe someone can relieve my curiosity by posting what films might have won a poll or a pull! Anyone?

Richard Maurer

Seeing a new (to me) Patreon glitch on my phone since yesterday. When I click on ‘See More’ it no longer shows the whole post, it only shows part of the rest of the post. I can get around this by scrolling down till the post is no longer visible then scrolling back up - then the whole post is there. Is anyone else seeing this? Or maybe it’s just my stupid phone.

MikeLL

Ah, I'll answer myself because I see by reading other comments that In The Name of The Father won the PAF. Dagnabbit again, but anyway, Surely some other film might have won a pick or a pull?? And I really didn't mean to call everyone Shirley! (Yes I did!)

Mike Lemon

Catherine LW and Steve Holton were having the same issue (in the Thrones 9-10 Full comments). Steve says to uninstall/reinstall the phone app to try and fix it.

Byrd N. Hand

Steve Holton!! 🙆‍♂️

Byrd N. Hand

Hey, a PAF that might make it to YT this time! 🙌 (It may not do that well, but, well, I'm not going to jinx it... 😬)

Clarence Newman

Agreed. Poor Cassie hasn't got a hope in Hell of reading everything, so the only way to get her attention is a Super Chat. I'm happy to give her those (she's earned way more than my subs these past two years), but it doesn't make for a smooth interaction. Even with you I found myself struggling to keep up. You'd write something directed at me and five seconds later, it was off the page! I had to keep scrolling back. Clay said Extra Butter hangouts are much more personal and less breakneck, but they're always so late for me. Was fun to do the live this once, but I don't think I'll be doing it again.

Joe J

Only 160 entries in the August PAF is a very significant drop from previous months. Much better odds however, lol. I didn't see a list of the August movies submitted.

Joe J

When Cassie saw that CR might win the poll she panicked and pulled the plug. 😆

MikeLL

Thanks, Dave!

Joe J

Please just watch one and be done, lol. Same with The Manchurian Candidate, is she really watching both film versions? Her DVD was the Denzel version...just watch that one.

Clarence Newman

Richard, you finished 12th in the P-a-F. Mike Lemon was 5th! I think that's the closest a FAQ thread lifer has ever come.

Johnny Bullis

Hi Cassie.. I wanted to email you about last nights Live Event I missed.. this is Christian Movie Nerd.. whats a good email for you?

Clarence Newman

I made it to about halfway. But there were some good announcements during the live so I was quite happy.

Joe J

Always some good stuff sprinkled in...but 3 plus hours is a tough hang, lol. I normally just watch on repeat in more managable 30 minute chunks.

Richard Maurer

She definitely should watch the Eggers (25) version - both more popular and also very good. The silent (22) version is kind of a must, probably won’t do that well on YouTube though. But it’s short, 1 hr to 1.5 hrs, depending on which version you watch.

Just Plain Bob

Joe, it wasn’t panic. It was self preservation. When you see a crazed 12 ft tall grizzly wearing Pennywise the Clown makeup, you don’t stop to wonder what you’re seeing. You just run like hell.

Gray

Is there a link to everybody's pick of movies from the recent PaF? Had a look in the FAQ but couldn't see it. Always nice to see what everyone has picked.

Clarence Newman

No, I survived the entire live (went to bed just before 3am), but my PaF popped out of the pan around halfway.

Clarence Newman

It was like the intrepid amateur marathon runner who sprints out of the gate faster than all the favoured athletes just so he can say he was ahead at one point. Before long, CR got swallowed by the crowd, never to be heard of again. I am proud of its performance.

Clarence Newman

Don't think so, Gray. I'm thinking the film titles were removed after the Full Monty fracas a few months back. Personally, I'd like to see the film choices next to the names. It would give everybody a variety of other picks to root for besides their own.

Clarence Newman

Chris. She's also seen Gladiator 2 and Aliens, of course. Black Hawk Down is the only other one, although she's watched The Martian off-site.

Mike Lemon

You have to hope somebody at PIB posts a link to the titles, otherwise you get nothing. They've done it once or twice I think.

Just Plain Bob

Shadow of the Vampire is such a perfect companion piece to Nosferatu it would be a shame if it didn’t get a reaction as well.

Richard Maurer

It was in the lead, then everyone came to their senses.

Grad

I'd be happy with Shadow of the Vampire. Sad to miss out on Kinski's performance, but Dafoe's is very memorable as well.

Clay F

+1 for Shadow of the Vampire (2000). 21st century. Yeah, skip Nosferatu (79). For me, was a no-brainer in the Live to vote Manchurian Candidate w/o knowing if original or remake b/c both versions better than Fast & Furious. Reacting to both versions seems a little much but I'm ok with that.

Clay F

Next Week? -Lost in Translation -In the Name of the Father (or Wonder Woman or Manchurian) -Game of Thrones That would be great.

Just Plain Bob

Been watching the Live from last night. Sounds like we’re gonna get the usual comedies, action flicks and comic book movies masquerading as horror films this October. It was funny listening to Cassie rattle off the horror movies she’s watched. First, it confirmed that she knows the difference between the stuff that she reacts to for three weeks in October and actual horror. Second, it underlined just how few horror movies she reacts to in October - about two horror movies on average each scary season.

Clarence Newman

The Fly, Bob! Nosferatu! Other stuff! I myself am expecting a month of the willies.

Just Plain Bob

Clarence, I am happy they’re getting reactions. But that’s TWO movies, four if she makes a week of Nosferatu (I agree with Richard and think she should do the most recent, the original and Shadow of the Vampire). As you saw from my list and Richard’s, it’s not as if there’s a shortage of horror films to choose from. I even included suspense, comic book movies and comedies on my list. But I continue to be disappointed by the suggestions of fellow patrons and the movies offered up for polls. Stepford Wives? Really? It’s a good movie but not even horror adjacent. I’m one of Predator 2’s seemingly few fans, but it’s an action flick, pure and simple. We horror hounds only get one month a year. It would be nice if it actually included more horror. PS: Death to Cannonball Run! There, my daily harangue quota is complete.

Richard Maurer

She did say Sinners and The Fly , Nosferatu(s ?) as well. Many things she mentioned were brought up from the chat - the usual garbage films like Van Helsing , Insidious, and Scream 2. Which is another problem we have here - the bad films people insist would make for a good Halloween season.

Clay F

I like Richard's list. Bob -- I haven't reviewed your list but will look for it. Below are reactions in previous Octobers. I may have missed a couple. Seems like more than 2 horror each season. 2021 OCTOBER REACTIONS Rocky Star Wars I – Phantom Menace Ford v Ferrari Star Wars II – Attack of the Clones The Shining The Others Get Out BS Dracula Shutter Island The Invisible Man Beetlejuice An American Werewolf in London Halloween Ghostbusters II (1989) 2022 OCTOBER REACTIONS The Birds (reaction Sep 29) A Nightmare on Elm Street Shaun of the Dead Interview with the Vampire Frankenstein (1931) Young Frankenstein (1974) Christine (1983) 28 Days Later Sleepy Hollow Tremors The Crow Misery The Mandalorian S2E3-E4 The Mandalorian S2E5-E6 The Mandalorian S2E7-E8 The Bodyguard 2023 OCTOBER REACTIONS Zombieland (reaction Sep 30) Zodiac The Thing The Mummy (1999) Arachnophobia Identity Tucker and Dale vs Evil Practical Magic (1998) Scream The Lost Boys The Burbs It Hook John Wick 4 Memento 2024 OCTOBER REACTIONS The Frighteners (reaction Sep 29) The Village Underworld Constantine Cloverfield Blade Haunting Hill House S1 E1-E2 (reaction Sep 27) Haunting Hill House S1 E3-E4 Haunting Hill House S1 E5-E6 Haunting Hill House S1 E7-E8 Haunting Hill House S1 E9-E10 Zombieland DT It2 What Lies Beneath Saw The Cabin in the Woods Deadpool & Wolverine Arsenic and Old Lace

Just Plain Bob

I forgot Sinners. That makes three good films. Five if she does a Nosferatu week. To cut Cassie some slack, the Live really highlighted how little some of her patrons know about the genre. Some of the suggestions were about as far from horror as I could imagine. If I needed advice on good rom-coms, I’d ask Cassie and Carly’s advice - they clearly know the genre inside out, backward and forward. But so many of the horror suggestions are clearly made by people only vaguely acquainted with the genre or downright hostile to it.

Mark White

Clarence at what minute in the YT live did she open your package?

Clarence Newman

She did also mention sequels to some of the good ones she's seen. I wouldn't mind Halloween 2 because I think it's the ultimate stalker movie. Nightmare on Elm Street 2? Scream 2? Stuff like that? Surely that would assuage your disgruntlement and unknot your Y-fronts. As for Cannonball Run, Cassie has the t-shirt now and Ben is obligated by way of masonic decorum to wear it 24/7. It's basically inevitable now. Look on the bright side. If she watches it in October, it will give you and Richard at least one true moment of horror.

Clay F

She indicated Duel would be last week in September, or in October.

Clarence Newman

Mark. She lost the package originally and had to hunt for it, so mine was the very last package opened. It's at 3:21.00.

Cole Jennett

Don’t forget that Carly will be joining her for at least a couple so you know those will have to be more her speed.

Clay F

She said "Insidious" sounded scary -- and seemed hesitant based on the name alone. I say no to Insidious and Van Helsing. Patrons have been mentioning Scream 2 for months. Sinners, The Fly, Nosferatu (1922), Nosferatu (2024) = all 4 good for me.

Just Plain Bob

Clay, you’re right, it’s closer to three or four each year. Examples from just last year that were passed off as horror included (but not limited to) The Frighteners (comedy), The Village (semi-period drama with a couple of “scary” moments), Constantine (comic book movie), What Lies Beneath (supernatural melodrama) and Saw (thriller/suspense).

Just Plain Bob

Cole, obviously the Carly reactions would have to be watered down, horror adjacent movies. Those reaction slots would be perfect for the comedies, comic book movies and action flicks that typically infest October’s offerings. I think the biggest continuing problem (for horror hounds) is how frequently non-horror movies end up on polls with legit horror, siphoning off votes from actual scary movies.

Just Plain Bob

Clarence, what’s a “Y-front”? That’s new to me. I would like to see some horror sequels (though not to Night on Elm Street or Scream). But Halloween 2 would be great. Much maligned, not in the same league as the first, but it really set the template (along with Friday the 13th) for the decade of slashers to come (of which I’m an unabashed fan). And I love it, without reservation.

Richard Maurer

Clarence - I’m against horror sequels in general as they’re mostly money-grabs. Of the 3 you mentioned I’d be least hostile towards Halloween 2 but still wouldn’t recommend it, Carpenter didn’t even like it. Elm Street 2 is a no, and Scream 2 is a Oh Hell No! I don’t even like Scream 1

Richard Maurer

Cole - those that Carly watches would be for the ‘Treat’ side which in general I don’t really care what they watch for those as it’s a lost cause as far as I’m concerned anyway.

Clarence Newman

Bob. Y-fronts are what you Bandidos Americanos would refer to as "tidy whiteys", but with a Y-shaped flap in the front so you can decant your snorkel without the inconvenience of removing your kegs. It's an invention for the terminally lazy if you think about it.

Just Plain Bob

I really wish the nope list would extend to Van Helsing. I was appalled at how many people recommended it. It’s very firmly on the “so bad it skips good and goes straight to God-awful” list. It’s a film only non-horror fans could enjoy. I was also surprised to hear that Cassie’s been told by someone that The Mist is a “so bad it’s good” movie. It’s a great movie - no “so bad” about it. One of the truest and best adaptations of Stephen King’s work. To me, all of this is further evidence that she’s getting terrible advice about horror movies.

Mark White

Nice one Clarence, it’s now only a matter of time before we get Captain Chaos on PiB.

Richard Maurer

Clay - good movies that are actual horror movies ( other good movie were mentioned but horror was not their primary genre). 2021 The Shining (not a personal favorite) The Others Get Out An American Werewolf in London Halloween 2022 A Nightmare on Elm Street Frankenstein Christine 28 Days Later Sleepy Hollow 2023 The Thing The Lost Boys It 2024 It 2 Cloverfield Even of the movies I included some were debatable that they were horror films, were good, or both.

Grad

Was Psycho not in October? Edit: In September.

Richard Maurer

Clay - even worse if she ever reacted to Fast & Furious would be the inevitable chorus of “Now you need to watch the rest of them!” *shudder*

Chris Thom

Clicking on the YouTube notification will take you to it.

Chris Thom

There was a list of them on the LIVE. Right before the popping animation started.

Chris Thom

Shadow of the Vampire was good. Gods and Monsters (1998) was another one with a semi-similar true to life theme.

Chris Thom

Been like this every year. Pretty sure she set it up that way for personal reasons...some seasonal fun mixed with some read meat for the horror fans. Do think that Scream 2 and Insidious would be closer to red meat on this particular channel. But even channels devoted to horror seem to enjoy them too. 'Garbage' or not, I've always enjoyed Scream 2 and think it belongs on the channel.

Mike Lemon

Predator 2? Really? That was a suggestion for October? I like the movie, but save it for July or August. Now on to the horror stuff- Are you really surprised that it gets short shrift? Let's put how much we like Cassie aside and look her actual content- and let's remember the channel was started to expand her horizons. There is barely any variety to begin with. Long series and franchises dominate. Last I checked it was about 1/4 of everything. Then, what, another 1/4 is mid-tier nostalgia movies. That only leaves half for everything else. People have been begging for a foreign movie (we got Dragon Tattoo, American version) or anime (we get K-Pop) or an Asian martial art movie (Enter the Dragon took almost two years from Crouching Tiger). Do you think the mods are going to change their ways and put only good horror movies on a poll when barely any genres get a chance either? No, you'll get one or two thrown on a poll with a "vanilla ice cream" movie that everybody that hates horror will vote for. The obvious solution would be to have PIB DM Richard and have him make four horror polls, without the "vanilla", and watch one a week. Then have the mods do their "we don't really want horror to win" poll for the other days.

Richard Maurer

I find it funny that people say they’re concerned about how Cassie is affected by these movies, then they recommend movies like Insidious and The Conjuring. Those movies are wall to wall jump scares. And what is it that affects Cassie the most when it comes to horror movies? Jump scares.

Just Plain Bob

Many of those that lecture us for recommending movies such as The Thing and The Fly will think nothing of recommending GoT or a popular war movie with graphic violence. Movies such as We Were Soldiers and Saving Private Ryan and shows such as GoT include more graphic violence than anything offered up in a film such as The Thing. In Saving Private Ryan, men are literally dismembered by bomb and mortar fire. In We Were Soldiers, we see close up depictions of the effect of incendiary devices on the human body. And, of course, GoT includes copious amounts of nudity, graphic violence and harm to children. All of this is ok, apparently, because the upper left hand corner of your tv doesn’t read “horror” or “horror/science fiction” at the start of the movie/episode. The “Cassie’s welfare” argument has been shown to be the blatant lie that it is, repeatedly. They just don’t like the genre and “Cassie’s welfare” is a convenient hook to hang their genre hatred from.

Byrd N. Hand

Her reacting to "The Fly" will already make this better than her entire last October... 🤨

Clay F

Good point Richard. That is even worse. Some completionist obsession to add more crap on top of crap. Glad that Fast & Furious lost in the runoff poll. Feedback is generally positive in Extra Butter Chat that Manchurian beat Fast & Furious in the runoff. However, Van Helsing is raising its ugly head in Extra Butter Chat.

Mike Lemon

@Bob- That isn't exactly fair. It isn't violence Cassie seems to have a problem with, it is hopelessness and nihilism, both of which horror tends to have.

Just Plain Bob

Well, I’m going by her stated objections. Also, by what fellow patrons whine about with horror movie suggestions. But, even assuming it’s actually nihilism or hopelessness that she finds objectionable (and I tend to agree that it is), what happened to stretching her horizons/boundaries? Does every movie she reacts to need to have the obligatory love story and happy ending? If every movie has to end “happily ever after”, there is no dramatic tension - the driving force behind good storytelling. That’s not very creative or interesting. It’s cookie cutter and boring. Just load the channel up with love stories and rom-coms.

Clay F

I agree w/Richard on sequels. Please no sequels. Mike - Dragon Tattoo (2009) given chance. Lost at least one poll incl. a foreign movie poll in which she reacted to the winner Das Boot giving patrons a reaction to a foreign movie (that she did not like). Dragon Tattoo (2011) won its poll. Are you complaining she didn't react to Dragon Tattoo (2009) when Dragon Tattoo (2011) won its poll? She could have acknoweldged that 2011 won the poll but that she was instead reacting to 2009 because people are begging for foreign movie. By the way, people begging for foreign movie = tiny minority. BS Dracula – horror? Richard – I am unsure who is the arbiter of what is “horror” and/or the arbiter of how narrowly to define “horror.” Do you agree that BS Dracula is horror? Maybe so but you didn't think good, so you that is why you excluded it. The Google page for BS Dracula gives genre as “Horror/Romance.” Surely, BS Dracula fits some subgenre of horror. You are an expert. Wikipedia calls BS Dracula a “Gothic horror film.” Rotten Tomatoes gives the genre simply as “horror.” “Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) is widely considered a horror movie, specifically a gothic horror film, though it also strongly emphasizes a dark, romantic narrative. The film incorporates classic horror elements, such as vampires and supernatural terror, alongside a tragic love story…. The film features the titular character, a powerful, ancient vampire who preys on humans, a staple of the horror genre…. The film is known for its 'dream-like and terrifying' atmosphere and gothic ambiance, which contribute to its horror elements… While not always explicit, the film includes horror violence, such as battle scenes with impalement and blood, and explores dark themes of undeath and supernatural terror.” “[F]ilms titled "Dracula," such as Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) and the Hammer Horror series, are widely considered horror movies.… At the core of these films is the count Dracula, a vampire who brings vampirism and terror to his victims, a classic horror trope…. Both Bram Stoker's Dracula and the Hammer film series are specifically categorized within the horror genre, often with 'gothic horror' as a sub-genre.” You didn't say that BS Dracula is not horror.

Clay F

Scream (1996) gets acceptable reviews. Some asserted Scream (1996) was revolutionary for the genre, e.g., with how it does the satire. As for me, I was ambivalent. Horror is not a favorite genre of mine. I accepted that Scream (1996) was new and unique. Scream franchise? For the last 2 years, many patrons have asked her to react to Scream sequels, some patrons being dumbfounded that she hasn't, implying that it incredulous she has not reacted to Scream sequels. My reply was she hated Scream (1996) and thus the franchise likely dead on the channel. However, Scream 2 has surfaced. Cassie has evolved and willing to push her boundaries in ways. I have not watched any of the Scream sequels and don't plan to.

Milton Reduxed

Cassie has said that horror movies give her nightmares, which isn't much fun. Personally I took the initiative and subscribed to a horror reaction channel to see horror reactions, but I understand we all have gripes with the schedule

Clarence Newman

Horror Musings of a Non-Horror fan Discussions about the possible content of horror season this October have already begun in earnest, so I'm throwing in my tuppence worth. It's no secret that I mostly like to see Cassie enjoying herself (eg Smokey & The Bandit, The Replacements, Major League), but I also love seeing her "engrossed" in a movie with buggy eyes, involuntary fidgeting and an elevated 'frick' count, and that rarely comes from the lighter fare. She was "engrossed" in Misery for example, engrossed in Lord of the Rings, and is definitely engrossed in Game of Thrones - none of which can be considered light and fluffy. She admitted at the end of episode 8 that "this show is stressing me OUT!", but five seconds later had that little smile on her face which says, "Uggh, I cannot wait for the next episode". Good horror films would give her that, which is why even the white knights among us can be found pushing some pretty heavy stuff come October. I'm not interested in gore and shock for the sake of it, and I won't push anything that might follow Cassie out of the movie room and into her real life, but that's exactly why I've pushed The Fly. It's pure fantasy, could not happen, is brilliantly written and acted, suspenseful and en"gross"ing in the extreme (see what I did there?) and this leads me to believe that Cassie will actually appreciate having watched it. She'll be bopping all over the bed *during*, but surely that's the rollercoaster ride she set October aside for. And I'll say it again...IF SHE WATCHES THESE HEAVY HORROR MOVIES AS AN AFTERNOON MATINEE, so she has hours of daylight and activity afterwards to dilute the heebie-jeebies, I don't think she's going to have a problem at all. Basically, you can stuff your Hereditarys and Exorcists and Human Centipedes - this is not the channel for that sort of thing - but otherwise, maybe it's time to stop pampering our much-tougher-than-she-used-to-be little soldier and, this October, stretch to some of the quality boundaries horror has to offer. One more thing: Even if we can take the reins off the horror content for October, I think it's safe to say that horror fans will NEVER get a full month of hardcore horror. It just frazzles Cassie too much if it's relentless. Perfect balance for me would be 4-6 full-on horror movies (that's a third to a half of the entire month), interspersed with whatever the hell Cassie wants to watch in order to balance, dilute and cleanse her tender little soul. I wouldn't even rule out comedies and rom-coms for that, AS LONG as the horror fans get 4-6 doozies they can really sink their teeth into.

Mike Lemon

@Clay- "Dragon Tattoo ...([history we all know and is irrelevant]... Are you complaining she didn't..." Read all the words, specifically, "People have been begging for a foreign movie" and "barely any genres get a chance". My whole comment was about lack of variety and poorly designed polls, and you come back with "but polls". "foreign movie = tiny minority" Some people love black cherry ice cream, some love pistachio, but everyone finds vanilla acceptable. Don't be a "let's have vanilla every time" guy.

Clay F

Misery (1990) is such a great contribution to the horror genre. Stephen King said Misery is horror and Rob Reiner delivered.

Mike Lemon

F'ing Patreon- I had a whole reply typed out and it was deleted by Patreon. @Bob- I agree with your reply but I'll add- not not everyone has the words why they don't like something so they use the easiest way they know, and a "happy ending" isn't mandatory but it helps (this was most of what Patreon deleted).

Milton Reduxed

I accept that broadly horror just isn't for Cassie, and channels do look to patrons for help in shaping the schedule, so I've suggested things like Ed Wood & Matinee as being good seasonal October movies for PiB + Carly-friendly if she wants to join My interpretation of more extreme movies & TV Cassie has liked is this: It's less about the graphic depictions of violence and more about the mood; She can enjoy something like Misery because it's a sober story, whereas in something like Scream the audience is encouraged to enjoy watching teenagers get killed and Cassie just doesn't get it and finds the lack of respect for human life distressing. I got a similar vibe when she watched Goodfellas—to us the film is cool & funny, but Cassie was disturbed and didn't find it cool or funny at all. On the other hand Cassie did like The Lost Boys which leaned into comedy... In summation I think Cassie can enjoy horror movies which are on the lighter side like Lost Boys, and serious dramatic horrors like Misery, but there's a middle ground of more exploitation-based horrors that aren't in her wheelhouse—and of course everything with demonology is out

Clarence Newman

By the way, Bob, just so you know that I *do* have some horror chops. I recommended The Mist last October (I'm a Stephen King fan). I haven't recommended it since because Richard gave me a slapping about it. Apparently, there's a scene....

Just Plain Bob

I know the one you’re talking about and it doesn’t meet her nope criteria because it happens off screen. King said he liked the movie’s ending better than his novella. I disagree but I’m a fan of ambiguity.

Richard Maurer

As usual Clarence misrepresents what I said. I love The Mist. But I do think Cassie would find that scene disturbing, and if it were on a poll I’d probably find something else to vote for. I wouldn’t tell anyone not to vote for it, beyond giving my personal feelings for not voting for it. Clarence apparently somehow interpreted that as a verbal slap-down.

Clarence Newman

Allow me to rephrase. It was a wedgie, wrapped in a slapping, inside a beratement. I was most perturbed. Actually, he was quite kind (by Richard's standards). I suggested it as a possible October movie and he noped me, indicating the presence of "that scene". I didn't remember "that scene" (been 15 years or so since I saw the movie), so I felt ill-equipped to argue.

Byrd N. Hand

Another impending scary movie season, another bout of debates as to what a woman in her mid-30's can/is willing to tolerate and trying to gauge the lines she's willing/not willing to cross... 🤔

Richard Maurer

Clarence - is Misery a horror film? highly debatable - personally I would classify it as suspense thriller. Hereditary is a great movie. I respect that Cassie doesn't want to watch it, so I don't request it, but it's a shame that she won't. A modern masterpiece, better than The Exorcist - imo. While I've been joking a lot about Cassie watching Human Centipede recently I was never serious. So many better horror movies she could watch.

Richard Maurer

Perturbed is your natural state and ill-equipped to argue applies to every time you've disagreed with me.

Clarence Newman

That will always be the way, Byrd, just as it is with every film that's suggested or listed on a poll, and definitely all those that make it on to the schedule. Is it funny enough, is it exciting enough, does it stretch her limits, is it the best version of that particular story Cassie could be watching? In the end, that's pretty much what we do here - suggest, debate, defend or attack. It's just more pronounced for the horror genre because it's shoehorned into one month of the year. When battle commences, we all notice.

Richard Maurer

While I won’t “spoil” it, Van Helsing contains one of the most unbelievable movie scenes this side of a Spielberg kids movie, and that scene has nothing to do with vampires, werewolves, or any other monsters.

Clarence Newman

Richard. A year ago, I accepted without much question that The Mist was a nope list movie. This year, after Passion of the Christ and Game of Thrones have made it onto the roster (voluntarily!), I think it would be a perfect October movie.

Richard Maurer

Chris - I prefer SotV because (without spoilers) it’s both “true to life” and a real horror movie.

Joe J

Remember, currently only (6-7) open watch slots in October for "scary" movies...unless Cassie reduces GoT posts. She may start early in the last week of Sept. I'm only interested in getting 1 or 2 pre-90 films, otherwise I don't really care what she watches. Whatever polls we get I'll vote for something.

Clarence Newman

I like being perturbed. It's a funny word.

Rene G.

Putting horror movies on the nope list really ruins the essence of October Halloween. That’s like saying celebrating Christmas without the gifts. Or Halloween without the horror stuff. Sheesh

Rene G.

So, the fly gets a reaction? Good I’m the one who listed it on the pick a flick suggestion link mwahaha

Rene G.

Horror movies on the nope list is to Halloween without horror as April fools day to without pranks or jokes comedy

Clarence Newman

Yeah, but Rene….you’re the hardest corest Horror aficionado in all the Seven Kingdoms. Hereditary is like Lilo and Stitch to you. Cassie isn’t exactly your kindred reactor.

Rene G.

Sinners bored me to death in the first. Felt like a western then the third act kicks in. It was mid

Rene G.

Gonna add the Descent on the list. It’s a chick flick adventure. Promise!

Rene G.

How about Spawn? It’s superhero with horror stuff in it

Byrd N. Hand

Admittedly, not many bona fide horror films outside of '70s - and a smattering from the '60s and '80s - interest me all that much. I believe "Splice" is the only 21st century horror film I've seen/own. But if "The Omen" is off limits for Cassie, I'd recommend 2009's "Joshua" instead. It has a similar tone to that '70s classic, albeit without the horror and demon elements.

Jareedy

What day do you guys think she’ll upload the accountant

Joe J

Today or tomorrow. Her patreon upload week generally runs from Tuesday to Tuesday.

Mike Lemon

For "treat" and if it is the first season of the HBO show, yes! If it is the movie, no.

Clay F

Today or tomorrow, like Joe said. Except I think of her patreon upload week generally running from Wednesday (first day) to Tuesday (last day). Wednesday (first day) uploads are very rare. Thursday (2nd day) is early in her upload week, but GoT episode reaction uploads on Thursday occurred a couple of times. I would say that Friday-Monday are most common for uploads. Tuesday (final day of the week) being a contingency day.

Clay F

Richard, respectfully, I will go with Stephen King (over you) in saying that Misery is horror.

Carol Rocha

That was my question. Thank you Joe J!

Clarence Newman

Cassie actually screamed. That's a qualifier. Also, what Annie Wilkes did to Sonny Corleone's feet was hideously horrific. And she shot Dolly Parton's dad.

Just Plain Bob

Misery is a thriller. As for what King said, who cares? He also thinks the tv mini-series of The Shining was better than Kubrick’s film. And he said that he considered Bambi a horror film. His brain is clearly addled by his decades of drug and alcohol abuse.

Clarence Newman

Further to the conversations about the kind of horror Cassie could handle/couldn't handle, would find acceptable versus not, I would like to rebut all the horror folk who think this consideration is only relevant to scary movies. This should make you feel better. I did a list last week that included the legendary coming-of-age comedy, Porky's (1982), because I remember liking it as a kid and thought it would be a fun one for Cassie. Well, I watched Porky's tonight for the first time this century, and while I am fortunately immature enough to still enjoy it (Kim Cattrall puts in the same, Oscar-worthy performance I remember), when I think of Cassie sitting through it, I am forced to respond with....ummmm....no. You should all feel better now, because this means that Porky's falls into the same category as The Exorcist, Let The Right One In and Shadow of the Vampire - truly great films some of us love deeply, all of which will never get a sniff on this channel.

Just Plain Bob

Clarence, I am truly deeply ashamed of you. You recommend Porky’s, I defend your recommendation and opine that Cassie should watch it, and you retract - just because you rewatched it and changed your mind! When someone supports your questionable decisions, the LEAST you can do is stand by them, regardless of how ill advised that choice might be. Bro up! PS: I’m also left to assume that you hate dogs. Lassie has a prominent role and you ignore it.

Clarence Newman

I have retracted nothing, Robert. I made it clear that I still enjoyed watching it. I just feel that Cassie would sprain her face with all the eye rolls and jaw drops. I cannot accept that responsibility as her teeth are already falling out. I am, however, prepared to vote for it on a poll and then tell everybody I was just backing you up. Plausible deniability is what it's all about. On that very subject, I would like to thank Richard for campaigning for The Fly these past twelve months. I would never have done so myself, but will back his play on this occasion. If it ends up traumatising Cassie, I will blend quickly into the crowd and start lobbing tomatoes.

Joe J

This betrayal of Porky's can not be allowed to stand, lol. I'm submitting it as my Sept PAF.

Clarence Newman

I support your misguided venture, Joseph!

Richard Maurer

There's no reason Let the Right One In and Shadow of the Vampire can't be watched here. The Fly won't traumatize Cassie, because there's nothing traumatic about it.

Chris Thom

Scheduled for tonight, but that may've changed.

Clarence Newman

Are you crazy, Montana? It nearly put me off doughnuts for life.

Richard Maurer

I ate pizza when I watched Human Centipede - no joke.

Just Plain Bob

Joe, God bless you and your good work. Nice to know someone will step up when Clarence steps back.

Just Plain Bob

Clarence, kidding aside, I know many question the idea of Cassie reacting to The Fly. They are, of course, wrong. But since when did Let the Right One In and Shadow of the Vampire make it onto the dreaded nope list? I can’t think of anything objectionable about either one. Unless being great movies is objectionable.

Clay F

I remember Porky's. Is Let the Right One In [RT=98%] on the nope list? I hope she reacts to it. +1 for Shadow of the Vampire based on Richard's suggestion. Good reviews and good cast.

Mike Lemon

"I will go with Stephen King (over you)..." Interesting stance considering the The Pianist discussion.

Nolofinwe

This whole Exorcist thing with Cassie is a little silly Not only is it the scariest movie ever but it’s a terrific film made by a legendary Director from a fantastic best selling book. Maybe she could bring Ben in to sit with her and watch it together you know like a Papal dispensation😝……..anyway. . What about this one? “The Rite” with Anthony Hopkins very good movie , scary and has one of One of the most beautiful and sensitive scenes in any movie ever . I’m talking about the- Last Rites in the rain - scene performed by the young priest For a girl dying from a terrible accident on the street.

Nolofinwe

Or anything but I know “Michael Hunt” would love it

Nolofinwe

The accountant UGH ! , a Ben Affleck movie ? If you’re going to do that watch his daredevil movie with Jennifer Garner and Colin Farrell Et Al Movie gets a bad rap, and Ben is good in it

Mike Lemon

"This whole Exorcist thing with Cassie is a little silly ..." Yes, how dare a grown woman have boundaries!

Rene G.

Paranormal activity would suffice esp. the sequels. That'd give her more heart attacks. lol

Rene G.

well guess I'm alone for being pro-sequel reactions . See YouMeandtheMovies who finished all Freddy, Chucky and Jason movies in a whole decade.

Just Plain Bob

I’m pro good sequels. Theres just so few of those. I’d love to see both Guillermo del Toro Hellboy movies get a reaction, for example. But it’s particularly tough with horror movies because Cassie reacts to so few of them. I would prefer a reaction to “In the Mouth of Madness” to “Nightmare on Elm Street 2”, for instance.

Jareedy

I hope I’m trying to stay up here on the east coast😂😭

Clarence Newman

You may be right, Bob. Remember, I have not seen most horror films you nutcases rave about, so I am an unreliable source. I will take your word for it that they are acceptable for the Popcorn Pickle. And Nolo - I don't believe they ever found "Michael Hunt".

Just Plain Bob

Yep, I love it even though John Carpenter hates it. Other horror (and horror adjacent) sequels I like include: *Dawn of the Dead *Day of the Dead (the original script is AMAZING) *Evil Dead 2 (part remake, part sequel) *Army of Darkness (pretty much straight comedy at this point; Bruce Campbell is a legend) *Psycho 2 (it’s sacrilege to remake or sequel-ise Hitchcock, but this is good) *Exorcist 3 (second movie sucks and isn’t needed anyway) *Bride of Frankenstein (for a classic entry)

Clarence Newman

There was, but not the full list. And did you notice that someone entered twice? Same person, same film, but with a slightly different name.

JAKH

She did OK with "Constantine" (2005) and "Underworld" (2003). Maybe she could ease into it with: "The Omen" (1976) "The Prophecy" (1995) - Christophe Walken, Viggo Mortensen "Fallen" (1998) - Denzel Washington "From Dusk Till Dawn" (1996) - George Clooney, Salma Hayek "Hellboy" (2004) - Ron Perlman and "Resident Evil" (2004) - Milla Jovovich

Clarence Newman

We need a new update post. This one's getting mouldy.

Clarence Newman

I just remembered a decent little horror flick that might be good for October. Does anyone remember "Prophecy" (1979)? It's got Talia Shire and Armand Assante in it, and it's about mutant creatures created by chemical waste.

Chris Thom

The Rite was a Friedkin film?

Chris Thom

I've never seen Porky's, but I always hear it referred to as the kind of movie that couldn't be made today. Whatever that means.

Clay F

She mentioned DS9. I like DS9. If she reacts to DS9, she should watch the TNG S5 "Ensign Ro" episode as prep because I think Cassie doesn't really know what a Bajoran is or anything of the Bajoran-Cardassian conflict. I also like Voyager (and think Cassie would to), which can be reacted to in an abbreviated fashion, as she did with TNG. Also throw into the ring iconic series such as The Wire, The Sopranos, or Mad Men (which she would love), or others.

Richard Maurer

Of course I remember it…….that’s all I have to say about it.

Richard Maurer

So it’s like a lot of your jokes then.

Chris Thom

I thought Zodiac was a solid October reaction. Or that may've been September, can't remember. Pretty sure it was fall. But that movie had the David Fincher cinematography and vibe, compelling true-life mystery/crime, and plenty of suspense. The actual murder scenes were too much for Carly, but she just turned her head for that, and dialed in for the rest.

Chris Thom

Prophecy makes me think of the Chris Walken films. Don't remember a ton about those other than that they were supernatural, and Mel Gibson legitimately thought he was a demon walking the earth for a while.

Richard Maurer

What could possibly be scary or stressful about Underworld? It’s just an action movie.

Chris Thom

Approaching 'most commented PIB post ever' status. Believe that had 810 comments or so. Last year. Or early 2025.

JAKH

the HBO animated series is available as a full length movie under the name "Todd Mcfarlane's Spawn" (1997), with season 2 and season 3 as "TMS 2" (1998) and "TMS 3" (1999) respectively. just have to make sure that she knows that the live-action "Spawn" (1997) is a different movie.

Clarence Newman

Fortunately, I have learned to speak 'Maurer'. He thinks it's crap.

Clarence Newman

My jokes always land. They sometimes land upside down, like Denzel in 'Flight', but I have never lost a plane. I do have the occasional rowdy passenger though.

Clarence Newman

And Chris - that's because it's doubling as the General Chat thread right now.

Chris Thom

I haven't seen that in so long. Mostly I remember John L.'s insanely over the top performance. Respect. Somewhat noble effort with the CGI. Lol. Somewhat.

Chris Thom

GOT has a while to go still.

Richard Maurer

Clarence - You still don’t speak Maurer - Prophecy (79) (mutant animals) is lower mid-level, not quite bad. Chris is thinking of The Prophecy (95) (Apocalyptic Angels) which is pretty good, certainly not great however. Edit: Mel Gibson wasn’t in The Prophecy or its four sequels. Viggo Mortensen did play Satan and was really good (scary) in the first one.

Richard Maurer

Just what we need here - more Star Trek/s (and I actually liked her ST reactions, but enough is enough).

Richard Maurer

Clarence - you land Planes like Koichi did at the end of Godzilla Minus One

Richard Maurer

Chris - It’s not politically correct - or it’s trash - or both, depending on your point of view.

Clarence Newman

Look what you did, Clay. You should know that mentioning more "long-ass" series turns mild-mannered patrons into Leatherface at the end of Texas Chainsaw Massacre. As Chris said, we've got plenty of GoT left to enjoy, so other series's are off the table for now.

Clarence Newman

Yeah, but Adrian from Rocky is in mine. I think that would swing it with Cassie.

Clarence Newman

Agreed Richard. Sometimes you've just got to fly your plane up their keester.

Richard Maurer

Zodiac - also not a horror movie. Not a bad movie, but not a horror movie either.

Mike Lemon

Let's go all out and destroy any hint of variety. Watch all of Detective Conan, all 60+ years of Dr. Who, and Days of Our Lives from 1984 onward!

Chris Thom

Mel had a dinner with him about a future project and later in an interview he described him like he was a vampire.

Nolofinwe

no he did the exorcist......michael Hafstrom a sweedish director did he rite

Nolofinwe

I agree she could handle them all.... And certainly the 1st Hellboy is a really good movie I'm not a big Ron Perlman fan but he's excellent in this ...one-liners and all. Not to mention the funeral scene of the father which is just excellent

Nolofinwe

Come on man, she watched Saw for chrissake Lol torture porn ! absolutely no redeeming value whatsoever

Joe J

Clay needs an intervention guys. 😆

Joe J

GoT has given Cassie over 700 new paying patrons...our services are no longer needed, lol.

Richard Maurer

The first Saw isn’t torture porn. Unless you consider Se7en torture porn too.

Richard Maurer

Clay wants what he wants - and he will find a justification for it, no matter how much of a stretch it is (jk, Clay).

Richard Maurer

Chris - Assuming you're talking about Viggo, most things I've heard about him lead me to think he's a good guy. Mel Gibson? not so much.

Clay F

She is the one who mentioned DS9 (twice), not me. My original post here is merely a response. Apparently, she didn't think it too soon to mention DS9. I will go with her. My response above to her mention of DS9 was simply to indicate there are issues could consider. I have regularly seen suggestions for (and discussion about) potential October 2025 movies here and in Chat (and in Lives) since last year, up to almost a year in advance of October 2025. GoT will conclude in 7 months. I saw posts in Dec 2024, such as "X would be a good October movie," 10 months in advance of October 2025. And those kind of comments for October 2025 movies didn't stop but were continuous. I have seen almost to spam level, posts such as in Feb or Mar 2025 for October 2025 scary/horror movies, 7-8 months in advance of October. I saw no one reply "we have a while to go still until Oct." Plus, again, I did not initiate the topic of DS9 -- she (and maybe others) did. I love DS9 but not necessarily my top choice for a series -- yet I would definitely welcome DS9 happily. I was excited she mentioned DS9. I viewed her mention of DS9 both as due to her interest in Trek and her throwing a potential bone to Trek fans.

Clarence Newman

Given certain current and ongoing disgruntlements, I feel the need to write Cassie a stern letter. So here it is. I shall title it...."Seriously, young lady....." 1) ....we're in need of a new update. 2) ....why have you not rectified the heinous error of leaving A PERFECT WORLD off the Clint Eastwood poll when we have soundly assuaged your concerns over the content? 3) ....why are you relentlessly perpetuating your even more heinous prejudice against the 1960s? It's a gold mine of superb films and we need a poll right this very now (please and thank you.) 4) ....why have you STILL not watched Chris McQuarrie's personal recommendation of "Klute"? I promise, if you watch that film, your next invite will be to Thanksgiving at his house. 5) .....what has THELMA & LOUISE done to you that it literally NEVER appears on any poll anywhere? If you're a woman and a movie fan, it's pretty much a compulsory watch, so....STOPPIT. 6) ....do yourself a favour and watch THE FIGHTER with Christian Bale and Marky Mark Wahlberg. It made me a Bale fan and you already are one, so imagine how much you'll enjoy it.

Richard Maurer

Clay - as I said, it’s debatable whether Misery is a horror film. I don’t consider it one, you and Stephen King disagree. But the thing is horror has many sub-genres and most fans recognize some of those sub-genres, but not all of them. So in reality it’s a matter of opinion as to what is and isn’t a horror film.

Clarence Newman

Ah, so what you're saying is that every film that is mentioned, recommended or watched in Scary but not too Scary October is, in fact, a true horror film and you will not be complaining about any of them. "Benny Loves You", anyone?

Milton Reduxed

I know Cassie doesn't like the curse words but DS9 is shite

Joe J

Preach, brother.

Clarence Newman

Oh and the General Chat thingy. We need our tree house back.

Chris Thom

Thelma and Louise actually was on a poll recently. It did Ok.

Chris Thom

This is the most commented on post in PIB-Patreon history by quite a bit.

Clarence Newman

OK. I hope Cassie posted the new update because she read this, otherwise it was read by 3 people and she will be oblivious.

Nolofinwe

Seven was 30 years ago - movie makers have much more freedom to indulge their baser instincts If saw isnt torture porn... what is ?

John A

It's worth it to get to Accountant 2

Handlebars & Hijinx

Hi Folks. Long time YT subscriber (like forever) but first time member here on Patreon. I finally joined for a chance to get a recommendation submitted for this year's Scary But Not Too Scary October. The recommendation is for what I think is a criminally overlooked and forgotten suspense/thriller, 2001's "Frailty". I think it's right up Cassie and Carly's alley. Great thrills and chills, an amazing plot twist but almost no blood and guts. Besides, It stars Bill Paxton & Matthew McConaughey (I think Matt's best performance next to Dallas Buyers Club and the first season of True Detective). We all know how much they love movies with these guys in them. Also, it's Bill Paxton's directorial debut. Come on folks, help me out here. Spread the word please.
