***Carrie will be up tonight!

Hey Coven,

Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian friends and fam! I always get so homesick in the beginning of October and crave gravy haha. I hope it hasn't snowed where you live in Canada yet and that you had a great t-gives weekend with friends or fam. I'm so thankful for you!

How are all of you enjoying October so far? I felt late to the game and finally decorated my house. We somehow came into possession of a giant 15 foot inflatable skeleton that looks like its coming out of the ground? hmmm how did that happen? It brings me a lot of joy. I'm not going to lie-I've been feeling extremely overwhelmed lately. Lots of stuff happening in my family and extended that has been really hard. I genuinely love that this community and the movies are a place I can escape though and how lucky am I that I have so many friends to vauguley vent to over here ;) jk I know vague internet venting is so annoying. Please forgive me with zombies and vampires! Trying as always to focus on the good whilst breathing into my metaphorical paper bag. Ben and I celebrated our anni this week, my mums are mumming so hard, Utah Mammoth hockey started back up and I honored Diane Keaton's passing with Something's Gotta Give, Father of the Bride 2 and Because I Said So and they are just the coziest and she steals every scene.

This week we have Train to Busan, Final Destination and Nosferatu (1922) WHAT!? Zombies, Vampires and ??? I dont know. Is 1922 my oldest movie yet? My goal is to make it a YT double feature next week with the one from 2024! I am not kidding-that cover for the 1922 version is one of the scariest things I have seen. I want to stop looking at it.

For YT we have Blair Witch, Carrie and the S2 9&10 episodes of GOT. I mentioned before that I will be taking a one week break from GOT this week in between seasons. I shall miss my wolves.

Extra Butter LIVE this month will be a watch along on 10/22!

Thanks for everything always my friends-love you chick a cherry cola!

Cassie

The Film Effect

Great set of movies. I’m so ready for the Nosferatu remake!

Kawaii Leonard

It was 30 degrees Celsius here in Ontario, Cassie. I live 2 hr+ from Toronto. Still summer time ^_^

Deke_HFX

I just woke up from my turkey nap.

Bill Maurer

Hope and pray all is well with you and your extended family

Tyler Lathrop

No GOT :( enjoy the movies everyone!

Rosario Cicero

The original Nosferatu!!!! Let’s F’CKN GO! (Just when I thought I couldn’t love you any more)

Garrett Wilson

Outstanding picks on Patreon and the double feature is an great idea. Does anyone want to get the Spongebob joke out of the way?

WestBound

Oh the 1992 version 😔

Chris Thom

Hope you're doing alright. Yeah that Nosferatu art is pretty creepy. And old school. Art from the 20's is pretty neat. I had an old World's Fair poster on my wall for a long time. Happy Halloween!

Chris Thom

She said she was going to do both in a double feature. 1922, and the newest one.

JohnnyUtah

Not a fan of the week break of GoT, not for these films... we just saw the white walkers! That's spooky enough for spooktober

Oscar Espinoza

Happy thanksgiving to my favorite Canadian which is You Cassie! And all of Canada! 🇨🇦

Chris Retzlaff

Am I missing Carrie Watch along....was this a live?

Richard Maurer

Looks to be a really good week. Love Train to Busan, Final Destination is fun, and while I like the 2024 version of Nosferatu more, it’s good to see an old classic horror film on the channel - a REALLY old classic in this case.

Just Plain Bob

Cassie, doing it right! Originals first whenever possible. Haven’t seen the 2024 version of Nosferatu but I’ve heard good things. A double header would be great but I wish we could throw “Shadow of the Vampire” into the mix. Willem Dafoe and John Malkovich in a fictional story about how the original Nosferatu was made. Brilliant!

Richard Maurer

Hope so, the 2024 Eggers version is amazing.

Stick Figure Studios

I am in shock that you are watching a silent movie on the channel, but I am pleased because it is one of the beat films of that era: F.W. Murnau's NOSFERATU. I am really looking forward to that reaction. I think it's a great idea to check it out before watching the new one (which is also very good), but there was actually another remake done in 1979 directed by the great Werner Herzog (whom you would recognize as the old guy who gave the Mandalorian his mission in that show). That one is actually my personal favorite version and I would recommend watching that one as well in-between the other two. It's cool your doing a double feature of that story. How do you feel about a triple feature?

Stick Figure Studios

I'm hoping I might be able to convince her to watch the '79 Herzog film as well.

Richard Maurer

Didn’t even notice till you mentioned it. Sorry for you, glad for me.

Edgar Gonzalez

Final destination!... And a silent movie? LOL, the original nosferatu. Never though cassie would experience this. But she is doing it right. You check out the originals first, THEN the remakes.

Michael West

Happy Canadian thanksgiving! It’s good to vent occasionally and we’re here for it. Happy Anniversary to you and Ben. Solid lineup this week. Should be great reactions. Thanks for hanging out with us internet misfits.

Bill W

2nd!!! I've been trying for years to get someone to watch "Shadow...".

shaneth138

Are you still doing Sinners for spooky season? I feel like modern horror is incredible right now but I feel like this channel is so focused on older movies instead of giving these newer movies a chance.

Stick Figure Studios

I'm hoping I might also be able to convince her to also watch the 1979 version directed by Werner Herzog starring Klaus Kinski and Bruno Ganz. That's actually my favorite version of NOSFERATU.

Chris Thom

Oh that's the Werner Herzog movie people were talking about last week here. Didn't know what they were referring to. Had never heard of it.

Nim

Busy busy busy but any chance you could tack on V for Vendetta for Guy Fawkes night/Bonfire night (remember remember the 5th of November, gunpowder, treason and plot). We're not as big on Halloween in the UK but we're getting there.

Stick Figure Studios

It's a hypnotic film. I finally go to see it on the big screen last year and it was a sublime experience. Herzog is one of my favorite filmmakers.

David Freese

Its probably the most watched silent movie especially since on almost every free movie streamer now. Its just that mesmerizing imo. I wish you'd do the Triple header with the 70s remake as well Cassie?!?

Bill W

Is Nosferatu (1922) the big surprise you were talking about? Pretty sure everyone was expecting the new one. Anyways, someone already mentioned it- but I'll make a 2nd mention: Please react to Shadow of the Vampire (2000) sometime. Doesn't matter what time of year.

Stick Figure Studios

I'm hoping that she watches BOTH remakes. The 2024 version and the 1979 Herzog version.

Dave

There's not time to fit another film in. Nice idea, though

Just Plain Bob

And then catch “My Best Fiend”, a documentary about the turbulent relationship between Herzog and Klaus Kinski. I don’t think we’ve seen any Herzog films yet on the channel and that needs to be corrected. Whether fiction or documentaries, he’s one of the greatest filmmakers to ever pick up a camera. Some suggestions (in addition to his version of Nosferatu): Cave of Forgotten Dreams (2010) My Best Fiend (1999) Grizzly Man (2005) Fitzcarraldo (1982) Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009) - with Nicolas Cage and Val Kilmer Incident at Loch Ness (2004) - produced and acted

Joe J

After the Blair Witch nothingburger, very glad for FD and Train to Busan.

Anthony Carlson

I hope you put your hockey jersey to good use to those games you went to! Hopefully nobody harassed you for using a “sacrilegious” number as Cole Jennett would say! 😂 For the state of Michigan for sports, the past weekend was a miserable one. The Tigers bowed out of the playoffs after going 15 innings with the Mariners (they’re now 2-0 against Toronto), both MSU and Michigan lost to UCLA and USC (which they are rivals to each other), so I’m sure Steve Holton is happy lol, and the Lions lost to the Chiefs on Sunday night. So, yeah we had it rough. Nosferatu is one of the best classic horror films predating the iconic Universal Horror films! That should be interesting for how you react to it! Have fun with it! Tally-ho folks!

Joe J

Probably coming later tonight.

FranciscoGios

Hello Cassie 👋 I'm not in Canada but Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!! I'm really looking forward all this month specially since you are starting the Nosferatu saga. And Cassie don't let the shadows get you.

Chris Retzlaff

I hope so....I excited to see her reaction to it....top 3 King adaptation for me...

Chris Thom

Any suggestions for newer ones? Been looking for a good one. Think Late Night with the Devil was the newest one I've seen.

Gray

Interesting week some entertaining movies in there, I will miss GoT though. Looking foward to the Extra Butter live I wonder what film it will be. Still some good Horrors to chose from.

Clay F

Looks like Blair Witch received quite a receptive response on the channel based on my non-rigorous review of the comments.

Clay F

She has seen V for Vendetta. Good movie.

Clay F

I think she is reacting to Sinners this month. I am looking forward to it.

Chris Thom

There's clips of Bill Hader talking about Klaus Kinski and his acting style and relationships and it's pretty hilarious. James whale Bake Sale channel has a lot of great shorts of actors and comedians talking about movies.

Richard Maurer

Bob - SotV would be great, but I’ll take Eggers version of Nosferatu over any other version. Robert Eggers has yet to make even a mediocre film, let alone a bad one. I love The Northman and The Witch, and while I’m not a fan of psychological horror, the Lighthouse is easily the best of that sub-genre I’ve seen.

Dan M

October here was amazing until Saturday night. For the first 10 days of October, the temps were in the low 70’s during the day and low to mid 60’s once the sun went down. And then the dam busted open, and a nor’easter hit with a vengeance. It’s been raining since early Sunday morning, the wind gusts have littered the streets with branches, and the temps have dropped by about 10 degrees…UGH!!! On a happier note…Happy Anniversary to you and Ben!! 🥂🥳 Hope you had a wonderful day celebrating! Train to Busan! You obviously know it’s a zombie movie, but there’s so much more you don’t know about it. This will probably my most highly anticipated reaction from you for Scary But Not To Scary October. Thanks for the awesome update! Love you Lime in the Coconut!

Clay F

Her text above (at the very top): ***Carrie will be up tonight!

Joe J

They can have it Clay...my weekly trip to Walmart is scarier than that movie, lol.

Richard Maurer

It might be the new 2024 version of Nosferatu, or it may be something else. I would hope she would say “this is the surprise I promised” when it posts, whatever it is so we’ll know for sure.

Clay F

The spooky white walkers are perfect for spooktober.

Cole Jennett

It literally was the first words of her post

Just Plain Bob

Klaus Kinski was a madman and a monster. I believe he even admitted to trying to rape his daughter. Regardless, the relationship between Herzog and Kinski was beyond dysfunctional, with both men threatening to murder the other at different times (Herzog was far from alone in contemplating Kinski’s murder). “My Best Fiend” recounts all this and more.

Walter

wow, Cassie, you are NOT playing around. Very impressive.

Dan M

Thought you’d appreciate her watching the original Nosferatu. Perhaps this is the beginning of some future reactions to older horror movies?

Chris Retzlaff

I have asterisk blindness....I can only see it if there is 4 or more....lol

Steve Holton

Lol, these things happen Anthony. Hoping that regional luck continues for the Dodgers tonight. Just need one more out. Michigan is a great place to go to school. The classic film "The Big Chill" is about Michigan alumni reuniting for a wonderful weekend. Hope things improve for the teams though! 😊

Chris Retzlaff

I look at the pictures first and work my way from the bottom....🙃

Chris Thom

She did leave a cryptic note on a message I left on YouTube about The Strangers the other day. Still wondering if that might be it.

Clay F

Looking forward to Train to Busan. Never seen FD or Nosferatu (1922), but will check them out. A long approximate 11-day wait from today till next GoT. Looking forward to S3.

Richard Maurer

Kinski was a really good actor and a really bad person. A lot of actors get called crazy, but Kinski actually was crazy, from everything I’ve read about him.

Joe J

I was hoping for the new one.

Brian McGovern

The Nosferatu (or Nosferartool for fans of FRIENDS. ) poster reminds me of an Australian horror that gets a lot of praise, The Babadook. That might be a decent one for scarey not too scarey "ShockTober". "Baaa baaa, dook, Dook. DOOOOK"

Chris Thom

I remember really liking Shadow of the Vampire, but can't remember a ton about it. Was it a dark comedy?

Dave

This coming week's reactions are the definition of scary but not too scary. So looking forward to your first silent film reaction, especially as it is an all time great piece of movie-making art. Add to that zombies, teenagers in mortal danger, and the spider is back on the wall behind you? Can't wait for each release - except the spider. He can stay stuck to the wall, no release for him.

Steve Holton

Happy Anniversary to Cassie And Ben! Hope the rest of October goes easier. Thanks for creating such a great and valued company.

djKENTO

Please share exactly what release of nosferatu you’re reacting to. It’s so inconsistent between releases because of lost and refound footage and translations and times for the silent dialog cards. It can be a nightmare to find the right version to sync.

Just Plain Bob

I was very disappointed last Halloween season but Cassie is absolutely knocking it out of the park this year. I don’t find Blair Witch scary at all, but it’s a genuine horror movie that’s highly regarded by some. She’s filled the schedule with genuine Halloween movies and classics. Kudos!

Clay F

I liked it better this time than the bits and pieces I watched 25 years ago with disinterest. None of these movies are really scary to me. I appreciate them and let myself go to experience the feeling of being scared. But plagued with being too much of a cynic to believe them, especially if supernatural.

Nim

It's not on YouTube or on letterboxd. Is it a patreon exclusive only?

Brent Petty

Pumped for Train to Busan.

Lauren

Yay!!! Can’t wait for Nosferatu!! The old version is actually SO good 😍

K, Zachary

Good Evening, Cassie Carly, The PIB Crew and Distinguished PIB Viewers, I am currently watching the Blackhawk- Mammoths game currently tied 1-1. I am sure the Blackhawks will blow in the final minutes like they always do. Anyway about last week we finished GOT season 2. Season 3 is so much better. Season 4 is even better. Anyway we finished. The Blair Witch Project. I remember my friends and I were all working construction except for 1 who was in community college. I can remember like it was yesterday. All piling into my 1993 Nissan Red Truck. Anyway that movie theater is closed down now. About Next Week: No Sinners (2025)? We loved that movie. Final Destination is crazy I made a YT video about it with AC/DC If You Want Blood. Travel to Busan? Nosferatu? Well we are sorry to hear about your troubles Cassie. We are 🛐 to the HF for you. The Blackhawks actually scored. Now there up 2-1. I can't concentrate on two things at once. So we bought our plane tickets for Denver and Salt Lake City for January which are two one ways. I love Skiing. Anyway Cassie and Family we hope this week goes better for you guys. Just remember both of us are thankful for you Carly, Ben and the rest of crew . We are grateful for all of you. The Steelers play on Amazon Prime this Thursday against those Bengals. Just a FYI For this week's song I chose one of the super psychedelic sounds of the 60's with Halloween rolled into it. With Jimmy Page on guitar here is Donovan with Season Of The Witch https://youtu.be/GU35oCHGhJ0?si=rjnGOgDiFefpmVEq I bid you Good Day.

Clay F

She watched it pre-channel. Listed as “seen” at Popcorn Requests. Not surprised she has seen it being a 2005 Natalie Portman movie. Though she avoids Black Swan (2010) because a trailer scene bothered her.

Rene G.

Hope she does all final destination sequels. Cos she got upset of the first Saw movie saying "evil cannot win!" mwahahha.. Death be like: "Ahhhhh yeah."

Nim

I see. Cheers Clay 👍

Just Plain Bob

I think dark comedy describes it best, though it straddles several genres.

Rene G.

The nosferatu remake was crap.. It spits on the black/white original that made it scary and unsettling.

Clay F

I too will miss GoT. That is my No. 1

Rene G.

Never seen FD?!?!?!? must be complete sheltered life in the 2000s.

Robert da Spruce

Sorry you’ve been feeling overwhelmed lately Cassie. I hope things start to look a brighter 🙏 Horror is not really of interest to me. I might check out Train to Busan though. People tells me it’s good IDK depends how I feel I suppose 😊 Take care Cassie

Anthony Lopez

she say's she watching the 2024 one next week

Katie Jackson

Happy Anniversary Cassie & Ben🥂 I hope you guys got to go do something fun and just have a great time together. 🤞🏻that October gets better for you and that November is great! I absolutely LOVE Father Of The Bride 2! Had you seen that before or was that a first time watch? Father of the Bride & The First Wives Club will always be the first thing that pops into my head when I think of Diane Keaton. Such a nostalgic part of my childhood. Looking forward to the rest of Popcorn In Dread! I always loved Tender November too, especially after a month of scary movies. It's nice to change things up. Still hoping for Nine Months in November. It comes with my personal guarantee, you will absolutely love it.

Stick Figure Studios

@Dave: Do you know if it was at least considered? If it was considered and then rejected for lack of time, I can understand, but if the people making the decisions/recommendations didn't even know about the '79 remake, that would make me sad.

shaneth138

Some of the best of the last 5-10 years that she hasn’t watched would be Hereditary, Sinners, Weapons, X, Pearl, The Witch, Talk To Me, Bring Her Back, It Follows, The Substance, Barbarian, Longlegs, Evil Dead Rise, Nosferatu. I’m probably forgetting obvious ones but this is what I can think of off the top of my head.

Chris Thom

Some Hurdy Gurdy Man might get her in the spirit of the season. Would bet she and Carly haven't heard that one since Zodiac.

Katie Jackson

She posted that it was a watch along. Unless something happens and she changes her mind🤷🏼‍♀️

Katie Jackson

Yeah, our home teams have definitely been struggling lately 😒

Clay F

Not sheltered at all. I agressively got out in the world and watched a ton of movies in the 2000s. Yet, I intentionally avoid horror movies b/c never been a big fan of horror genre, with rare exceptions. Also, FD (2000) in particular got mediocre reviews that turned me off. IMDb 6.7, RT 50%, Metacritic 38%. I hope she never reacts to FD 2 which gets even worse reviews.

Richard Maurer

Bob, my sentiments exactly. Other than Scream 2, which wasn’t her fault, everything’s been at least decent, mostly good, so far. At this point it would take some really awful choices In the next couple of weeks to spoil it, and doesn’t look like that’s going to happen.

Cole Jennett

People really don’t like to read what she actually says😂

Cole Jennett

You get a pass just this once😉

Clay F

I watched a ton of movies in the 2000s but avoided FD (2000) b/c never been a fan of horror genre, with rare exceptions. Also, FD (2000) in particular got mediocre reviews that turned me off. IMDb 6.7, RT 50%, Metacritic 38%. However, I will give it a try this week and form my own opinion. But I know I will hope she never reacts to FD 2 which gets even worse reviews.

Richard Maurer

The 2024 Eggers version is the BEST version of Nosferatu - imo.

Jeff I.

Edit: I stand corrected. Next time I'll read down toward the end of her post.

Richard Maurer

Apparently she’s doing it next week, fortunately.

Clay F

Yeah, she says in the text description above she is reacting to the 2024 remake: "Is 1922 my oldest movie yet? My goal is to make it a YT double feature next week with the one from 2024!" Nosferatu (2024) not the surprise -- she has mentioned that before. I was wondering if Blair Witch was the surprise but she indicated Blair Witch cryptically a couple of weeks ago. Not sure what is the surprise (if not Blair Witch). Initally, I was thinking might be a movie on her nope list or close to being on her nope list.

Stick Figure Studios

It's a classic and one of the most influential scary movies ever made.

Clay F

Jeff, did your read her text description above? "Is 1922 my oldest movie yet? My goal is to make it a YT double feature next week with the one from 2024!"

Richard Maurer

Clay - FD 1 & 2 are actually fairly decent. The series goes downhill from there. I don’t know what critics you’re talking about, but I’ve found, in general, most mainstream film critics wouldn’t know a good horror movie if it bit their noses off.

Mark Vaderr

"Nosferatu" 1922!? "WOOOHOOOO!!!!! I know longer need to list this as my pick-a-flick choice anymore! First Blair Witch and now this! I cannot be more thrilled, and happy for these reactions from you, Cassie. You've really made my October! Love you!

Clay F

She alluded to Noseferatu (2024) before for this October. Now confirmed. Her text description above indicates she will react to Noseferatu (2024) next week. "Is 1922 my oldest movie yet? My goal is to make it a YT double feature next week with the one from 2024!"

Clay F

For next October, if FD 2 wins a poll or its her PPOTM, and she reacts to FD 2 next October, I would give it a try.

Chris Thom

It's like a whole series of movies about those weird inventions that dad creates at the beginning of Honey I Shrunk the Kids. Only a hot young actor dies at the end of every fallen-dominos trap. They're fun movies. But definitely repetitive.

Mark Vaderr

Cassie did say in her last package opening that she was toying with the idea of watching all 3 Nosferatu movies but did not promise that she would watch any of them. So, I doubt this was the surprise.

Richard Maurer

Clay - while FD 2 is decent, There are many non-sequel movies I’d rather see her watch. FD 2 doesn’t quite fall under the unnecessary sequels category, but personally I’d rather.they didn’t do another sequels poll next October. The very few horror sequels that are actually worth watching will get heavy support from horror fans anyway.

MrKsummer7

Cassie, can you check which version of Nosferatu (1922) you plan to watch and let us know in your post? The reason Nosferatu entered the public domain worldwide in 2019. There are various official restorations of the film available. A sped-up, unrestored black and white bootleg version. There are also official restorations of the film, all tinted, speed corrected, and with different specially recorded scores by well-known composers and artists. There are DVD and Blu-ray ones, and a scoreless public domain version from 1947 with English intertitles. I have several on file, but I don’t remember which one, as I haven’t watched this film in years.

Clay F

Yeah, hopefully she avoids sequels poll next October. I would rather watch original movies. She at times has a tendency toward sequels, which is buttressed by some patrons wanting sequels. Some are obsessed with a completionist mentality with a franchise, no matter how bad the sequels. My thought is that at any time of the year, if there is the rare stellar sequel (any genre) that is targeted, include in a poll with original movies. No more sequels polls.

Richard Maurer

Could it be…….Human Centipede?!! Jk

Raieldon

I'm curious, is Nosferatu gonna be the first one released both synced and unedited? It's public domain and you could slap the entire thing on Youtube beginning to end without issue. In fact the full movie itself is all over the site. I know editing is by far the biggest expenditure for you guys.

Richard Maurer

This is true. And it also reminds me that Night of the Living Dead (68) is also in the public domain and wouldn’t require editing either.

Old As Dirt Bert

The 1922 Nosferatu has some iconic and original effects that became the model for many horror and suspense films. The production company was sued by Bram Stoker's widow, lost, and all copies were supposed to be destroyed (but weren't). As a result, there's a bunch of different copies with different intertitle cards and music. Please let us know which version was chosen for the reaction.

Richard Maurer

Dan - Would be great, especially if we get a couple every October, but anytime of the year would great too.

Old As Dirt Bert

I sure hope Cassie has a positive reaction to the silent film. Maybe then we'll get to see her watch classics like The General, Steamboat Bill Jr., or 7 Chances (Buster Keaton) and City Lights, Modern Times, or The Great Dictator (Charlie Chaplin).

Bill W

If Nosferatu '22 is the big surprise, I'm cool with that. I hope it goes to youtube since it's public domain.

Bill W

Metropolis.

MrKsummer7

Well, I dug through my files and found the 1922 tinted version with James Bernard composing the score. That’s probably the best ’22 version to watch. I have both Nosferatu 2024 Blu-ray editions. The extended 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray and the Theatrical Blu-ray … so which one is she planning to watch?

Clay F

Unless she states otherwise, she typically goes with the theatrical.

Art Vandalaay

Yes Stick Figure, Yes. I came to comment about Herzog. Depending on how it goes with the other two, hopefully we might get around to 1979 at some point. Aside from it being another version of Nosferatu, it would be a great introduction to Herzog and the phenomenon that was, Klaus Kinski. Of course, now there’s gonna be time for, potentially, another of their offbeat collaborations to be Cassie’s introduction to their chaotic chemistry.

Chris Thom

Oh whoops. I actually did read the whole thing! Except for that last sentence. lol

RobertNDouglass

If you want scary, Cassie, check out Colour Out of Space with Nicholas Cage and Joely Richardson and Tommy Chong! Trust me, you won't be okay after that one! 💜🩷🪐

Alex Villarreal

I got to see Nosferatu last year at the Alamo Drafthouse with a live band. (Great experience with lots of audience participation.) I don’t know what Cassie will make of it as a reaction experience. Anyway, I love every version and remake.

fastecp1

It's cool that she's going to watch a classic horror movie this old; it is not only her oldest but also her first silent movie. I love all the classic horror movies. I wish she would react to Bride of Frankenstein, Dracula, The Wolf Man, Creature from the Black Lagoon, and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1931).

Erik Locquiao

Please throw in “What We do in the Shadows” (2014) before the month is over. It’s hilarious. It’s also Carly safe.

Stick Figure Studios

She's doing that one too. The real shame is that she's not doing the '79 Herzog version. :-(

Stick Figure Studios

Yeah, I've seen MY BEST FIEND. Kinski was definitely a very dark, disturbed and destructive individual, but in spite of that -- or perhaps even because of it -- he was absolutely electrifying onscreen.

Stick Figure Studios

And ironically both SHADOW OF THE VAMPIRE and the new NOSFERATU star Willem Dafoe.

Richard Maurer

Good list. Unfortunately, she’s already said she won’t watch Hereditary.

Timothy Fisher

I was wondering Casie, since you watched "Sleepy Hollow" (1999) 2 years ago, have you ever thought about watching the Disney animated film "The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad" (1949)? I think it would help familiarise you with the original story by Washington Irving since that film is considered the most faithfull adapation and a Halloween classic.

Clay F

Wow -- that gets great reviews. I like comedy horror. "Smarter, fresher, and funnier than a modern vampire movie has any right to be, What We Do in the Shadows is bloody good fun." Ranked No. 446 at Popcorn Requests. If you have access, you can upvote. I just now upvoted (a single upvote) and changed the ranking from 489 to 446. A couple of upvotes can make a significant difference in the ranking. If gets into the top 250 or top 100, has a greater possibility to be included in a poll.

Dan M

I keep switching my Pick A Flick movie back and forth between School Ties and Nine Months.

Tyler Foster

I think you might have to be a little more specific now when you describe why it's Carly-safe because she was told What Lies Beneath was safe and it seems to have scarred her for life!

ROBERT CLARK

Final Destination is one of my favourites and I'm so pumped to see how you react to it!!!

Tyler Foster

While this is technically true, the corporations have generally found caveats to make it so they can go after public domain stuff too. It's a Wonderful Life is in the public domain, but the studio copyrighted the soundtrack separately from the film and also the short story. If you upload the movie with the music, that's copyrighted due to the music, and apparently removing the music would be a "derivative work," and thus the copyright of the short story blocks that.

Clay F

Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979) gets great reviews. i think someone felt didn't have the space this October for 3 Nosferatu movies. Apparently, all started with interest in the new Nosferatu (2024). She was then told about the two older versions. She went with the 1922 original to add.

Katie Jackson

Mine is between Nine Months & Sleeping With The Enemy. I went with Nine Months considering all the horror movies she's been watching

Dan M

Same. Dare I say it may be one of her favorite movies in the horror genre.

Kevin Charley

Is there any reason you never did Little Shop of Horrors (1986)?

Clay F

Nosferatu (1922) colorized? Nosferatu (1922) is availalbe for free on Prime if subscribed - but it is a colorized version entitled "Nosferatu In Color." The audio (music) sounds good.

Dan M

I’ve never been a fan of the horror genre as a whole either. I just like horror movies that are really well made and entertaining There just happens to be a whole lot of really well made and entertaining horror movies.

Old As Dirt Bert

The same is true with different versions of Nosferatu - music, intertitles, character names, even actor renames.

Dan M

I went with School Ties for this month, figuring if I won it would be perfect for a November watch. Next month I’ll be switching to Nine Months. If you don’t win this month and choose it again for November, then at least we have twice the chance of getting it picked 😉.

Old As Dirt Bert

It would help explain to the family about Mr. Toad's Wild Ride at Disneyland (is it still there?)

Clay F

Seems like I've seen patrons mention that before. Plus, Little Shop of Horrors (1986) is ranked fairly high at No. 49 at Popcorn Requests. Thus, could make it into a poll when she does random selections from Popcorn Requests (e.g., from top 50 or top 100 or top 250) for poll candidates. If you have access to Popcorn Requests, you could upvote Little Shop of Horrors (1986). But it's already in the top 50 - which is golden.

Brent Petty

Really looking forward to her reaction. If it even approaches Nikki and Steve's reaction, it will be epic, because she (Nikki) was INCONSOLABLE.

David Collins

Help me out here, assuming I'm just blind, because I am literally 75% blind, but I am not seeing Carrie. It's unusual that we get a YT announcement before the actual reaction hits Patreon. Did I miss it or is it still coming?

Just Plain Bob

It’s still coming. Supposedly tonight/early morning.

Stick Figure Studios

I watched the '79 NOSFERATU at an Alamo Drafthouse last year.

Stick Figure Studios

Yes, more Herzog films on the channel wood be as good thing.

shaneth138

Oh yeah I know that one is on her never watch list. But I think a bunch of these she could handle. I honestly think she could handle Hereditary as well. Hereditary has a reputation of being this extremely scary movie, but I think it’s more shocking than scary. I really think she could appreciate the other themes of the movie but yeah I know it’ll probably never happen lol.

TheSingulatarian

Some very disturbing images in the 1922 Nosferatu. Best watched in a darkened room with just enough light for your video equipment to capture the image. I will add my vote to the underappreciated "Shadow of the Vampire" a great companion piece to the 1922 film.

Jens Kristensen

In the vein (vampire much?) of the bloodsuckers... Werner Herzogs 1979-version of "Nosferatu" is almost as great as the 1922 original. How about a Klaus Kinski poll?

Shehab Dawoud

Another very good week! I appreciate you taking a break from GOT, although I wish it could last throughout October, so we could get 2 more horrors in. My only other critique is that with 2 Nosferatus along with Sinners as well (I assume), that'll make it 3 vampire movies this month. I think that's maybe just one too many, although all 3 films are great. But you're killing it so far this month! Such an upgrade from last year.

Clarence Newman

Scared the hoolie out of me back then, Joe, and freaked the hoolie out of Cassie when she watched it. Whatever we think of the film, it was a pretty good reaction.

Clarence Newman

You think you've got problems, Cassie, they're nothing compared to mine. I've now got to wait a whole extra week for my next GoT reaction and that's cruel and unusual punishment. Just like in King's Landing, us peasants may be revolting before the week is out. On the begrudgingly bright side, you are truly lapping the competition this October, not to mention strip-mining my own personal wishlist. The Fly, Blair Witch, Final Destination, Carrie, Nosferatu 1922? Throw in The Hitcher and Scooby-Doo and Bingo was his name! I'm sorry to hear about your family troubles, but please know that you are virtually tolerated on here by your devoted fanfolk. We consider you adequate and within acceptable parameters and will probably not leave you for a week or two yet. Don't stretch the GoT break into three weeks, though, or I'm coming over there.

Clarence Newman

Max Schreck was a scary-looking dude, to be sure. There were apparently some folks who thought he *was* a vampire. Looking at pictures of him even without make-up, it's clear that he ain't kosher.

Carol_White

The week ended at 11:59 p.m. on Saturday, October 11.

Clarence Newman

Lot of talk about which version of Nosferatu 1922 to watch, but one thing is a given - THE FILM DOES NOT NEED TO BE BLURRED OUT! It's in the public domain so WE own it and WE give you permission to put it up unblurred. That being the case, it doesn't matter which version you watch. It's right there on Youtube already.

Mike Redford

I'm loving this slate of flicks. Especially train to Busan. Been a nice october here overall. I Might have to head north of the border one of these days and experience a canadian thanksgiving. I'm always a bit jealous they're a month ahead. I want my turkey and dressing coma dang it lol. Sorry things have been trying for you lately. As always, best wishes. Congrats on the anniversary 👍

MacGuffinStuff

I'm in! This is kind of awesome, I have seen Final Destination, it's wild, but I haven't seen the other two and was not expecting them, but was also not expecting Blair Witch Project lol. Impressive, most impressive...

Dean Holt

Train to Busan is one of the best horror movies I’ve seen, I think that will be pretty intense ride. Final Destination I’ve not seen in a while so it might be a fun rewatch for me. Regarding Nosferatu never really been that Interested in watching it so it will be a couple of new watches as I’ve not seen the new version yet. But I want to also thank you for taking a little break from GoT so you can give us Horror fans more content.

Mike Lemon

The Ugly Stepsister (2025) was also pretty good, surprisingly.

Clarence Newman

I am RELUCTANTLY happy for all the horror fans who are getting extra top-drawer content at the expense of my weekly line of cock-eye-eena. I'll be over here in the corner, shivering.

Canadianant

Typically Cassie's posting weeks are Thursday to Tuesday on Patreon with a post Thursday another sometimes Friday or Saturday another Sunday or Monday . She's a few hours late this week on the last one.

Chris Thom

Pretty sure it's still at Disneyland. Was watching a vid last year talking about how they removed it from Florida. Had no idea.

Chris Thom

I'd completely forgot about that one. Was wanting to see that. Is it considered a horror movie? Was under the impression it was sci-fi. Or psychedelic or something.

Chris Thom

It's a full length movie?

Dean Holt

I’m sure you’ll be fine Clarence 😂, just look at it this way it will take Cassie a bit longer to finish it.

Chris Thom

Max Schreck...that was a character in Batman Returns. Any idea if that was a character from the comics, or something Tim Burton made up? I know he was a big fan of German Expressionism.

Canadianant

I'm sorry your going though a tough patch Cassie. You certainly have alot on your plate. Thanksgiving turned cold here with temperatures dramatically falling over the course of one day late last week with people in shorts, motorcycles and convertibles one day with temps in the high twenties to around 0 and snow the next day. There's been snow all the way across Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Nothing really sticking around but still a bit of a shock to the system. I already put snow tires on the car! Its early but i would rather get it done when it's nice than lying in a freezing driveway in a pile of snow . As to the movie selections I'm not a huge horror fan but I think you're really knocking it out of the park this year. A pretty great selection of movies. I think you're really trying to give something to everybody from Big Blockbuster type movies scream 2 final destination Blair witch to Nosferatu 1922 certainly an outsider pick. Has there been any thoughts as to what's coming up for tender November? I think you need to come up with some good comedies early in the month to raise your spirits.

Chris Thom

Which Scooby Doo though? Original or remake? Or remake of the remade remake?

Chris Thom

Have a feeling Disney really not so into the eminent domain thing right about now. Even though they made their fortune off it.

Chris Thom

I haven't seen Train to Busan yet. Hoping it's good. Pretty sure there will be subtitles involved. Not so sure if it's overdubbed.

Christian Becker

There are a lot of fun movies coming up. Just rewatched The Blair Witch Project with her - personally, I was never scared by that one, but it was fun to watch her reaction. Now for something completely different... Whilst watching GoT Thrones with Cassie, my copy somehow runs faster than hers. Blair Witch Project yesterday - no problem there. Anyone else ever had that kind of nuisance?

Clarence Newman

Disney did not make Nosferatu 1922, nor do they own the rights. Therefore Disney can go sit on a cactus.

Clarence Newman

To be fair, I haven't seen either, I just remember the tv series being top-end investigative drama. I *have* seen THE HITCHER, though, and that one is a full-on recommendation. Terrific film!

Zachery Dewey

Hey Cassie is there any way you should do a live stream on Saturday or Sunday either day works

Dean Holt

I’ll not say to much but when it gets going it gives you a few moments to breathe but most of it is non stop. They is a dubbed & subtitle version out there. The subtitled version is probably better if you can watch it. But I find it easier watching the dubbed version as I have a eye condition called keratoconus. Which makes it difficult to read subtitles quickly. Especially if it’s white writing on a lightly coloured background. But tbh bit like Battle Royale the story not that complicated so you could still work out what happened if it was just in the original language with no subs lol.

Mike Lemon

Play the fast copy at 96% speed, that usually fixes it.

Clarence Newman

I think it's a standard thing, Christian. Annoying as hell, because SURELY, if we all run movies and tv shows in real time, then everyone will be synced, right? Apparently not. What you need to do (as I've had to do with every single full reaction I've ever watched), is right click on the video (you have to do it twice because the first click doesn't bring up the right box), then click on "Inspect" at the bottom. A side window will come up on the right. Once there, go to "Console" and paste the following into the prompt line: document.querySelector('video').playbackRate = 1.0426 Hit Enter and that will change the speed of Cassie's video. It should then sync up with your DVD or streaming version.

Kevin Charley

I meant for Halloween. She always wants not that scary movies. And like you said, it's high up on the list of most requested.

Clarence Newman

Sounds like "Meander", Dean. It's a French film, but there's so little dialogue you can follow it anyway.

Clarence Newman

I don't want to be scaring Cassie or anything, but I just looked up Nosferatu 1922, and did you know that its full title is "Nosferatu - A Symphony of Horror"? Do you realise how messed up a movie has to be for someone to put an enhancer like that on the end of it? That's like the difference between "A bruise or two" and "Holy crap, what happened to you!!??" Run away, Cassie. The horror fans won't mind if you scrap the rest of October in favour of rom-coms.

Dean Holt

Never heard of it, Just looked that up & it sounds very interesting. Just added to my list, looks like it’s on Prime and a couple of other sites over here in the U.K. so I’ll try and give it a watch this week thanks for mentioning it 👍🏼

Chris Thom

I have to re-sync it every seven minutes or so on my cheap a-- laptop. Works a lot better on the desktop computer.

Richard Maurer

I just assumed it would be the subtitled version as that’s what Cassie normally watches. I certainly hope it is as Korean dubs are torturously bad.

Chris Thom

Mickey 17 was an interesting mix of dubbed and not. Or something was odd about the sound. Couldn't quite place it. Very strange film.

Chris Thom

The Exorcist: A Cacophony of Demonic Head-turning Dread

Dean Holt

Tbh Richard it shouldn’t matter as they will both sync up which ever version she watches. But I agree the dubbing on Asian movies in general is quite bad. But I’ve kinda gotten used to them 😂 as I just can’t read quickly enough to keep up with the subtitles.

Richard Maurer

Clarence - it was a homage to Max Schreck the actor. The German word Schreck translates to fear or terror in English.

Richard Maurer

Clay - pretty sure more than one version is available on Prime. Edit: 2 versions on Prime.

Dean Holt

Chris, not seen Micky 17 yet, just because it looks a bit strange 😂 . I thought I’d leave it until it comes on to a streaming site as part of the subs.

Richard Maurer

Chris - run time is usually listed as 1 hour 21 minutes.

Chris Thom

It has ARRIVED. They're all going to laugh at us.

Richard Maurer

I watched it, not a fan. Laughed exactly once during the movie.

Chris Thom

Absolutely one of the weirdest movies I've ever seen. Think it's on YouTube, Prime, and Hulu for 'free'. Not sure if I'd recommend or not. But if you're a fan of Bong Jun Ho it might be worth seeing.

Dean Holt

Thanks Chris I do want to watch it but not sure if I’ll like it or not lol.

Mark White

Cassie is ready for anything now! Tough as a coffin nail! 💪

Richard Maurer

Not sure about Nosferatu, and any altered version would likely be copyrighted. The original, unaltered version of Night of the Living Dead is not copyrighted due to an error - they forgot to add a copyright notice on the title card of the film, which put it into public domain as soon as it was released. I’ve checked YouTube and there are quite a few (at least 8 in the quick look I did) posts of the full movie, as well as YouTube having it up for free. I doubt that anyone, including YouTube, could stop Cassie from posting a full reaction as long as it was the original, unaltered version of the movie. But obviously they would have to look into it to be sure.

Richard Maurer

Interesting fact - the “original” Nosferatu was basically a rip-off of Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula, with names and scenes altered. But Stoker’s widow successfully sued and demanded that all copies of Nosferatu be destroyed. Most them were destroyed, but one complete version of the original theatrical release was eventually found.

Richard Maurer

I would be very happy if she watched those, especially It Follows, X, Pearl, and The Witch. I think Hereditary would scare her, but she could handle it.

Richard Maurer

Clarence, you are a symphony of ridiculousness.

Mark White

Cassie, we are not even at the end of October yet! But already you have seriously upped the stakes! You are a brave lassie and I feel you are pushing hard for your horror fans this year! It just shows how much you care about your patrons. I’m not a big horror fan, but you have certainly been entertaining with your reactions so far, especially with Spencer the Spider! 🕷️😱😆 I understand how you feel about being overwhelmed. I’m struggling too, so many plates to keep spinning! My poorly wife, work is exhausting, my neighbour who I care for has been particularly difficult of late. I keep telling myself “it’s not his fault” he was born with learning disabilities, but it’s hard, specially when he has no empathy at all! 😔 I’ve also had two elderly clients recently who have had their partners pass away. I’m only there gardener, but they learn on my heavily for emotional support, phone calls, texts, “please come round, I’m so lonely” it’s heart breaking! And I want to help, but I’m spreading myself pretty thin at the moment and I can feel it! So, just like you Cassie, I’m SO pleased I have this amazing community. In times like this the fun and banter in the comment section are such a release. But, of course you are a wonderful distraction for me, I must of watched some of my favourite reactions from you a lot recently and they always cheer me up. Thank you Cassie and thank you fellow patrons for always being there. You are the best Cassie and fellow Patreons ❤️

Richard Maurer

My phone decided I meant torturously bad Instead of notoriously bad, which is what I originally wrote, and changed it for me with no notification. But this is a rare case where the change works for me, so I’ll leave it as is.

Richard Maurer

The film shouldn’t need to be blurred, unless it’s a copyrighted alternative version, like the colorized version, which Cassie hopefully didn’t watch.

Richard Maurer

Hopefully this will last through October, so we can get a rest from seeing GoT in every upcoming post for a while.

Chris Thom

Mom and dad are caring more and more for my grandma who's mind is slowly slipping into memory loss and dementia. Mom especially is really starting to lose patience with the situation. So i feel ya. It's a lot. Just the other day she was saying "I really didn't know I was this selfish with my time." Take it easy on yourself. There's only so much you can do.

Mike Lemon

@Clarence - Blame yourself and your fellow Brits for it. If you guys didn't insist on throwing a hissy fit on everything to spite Americans it wouldn't be a problem. 50Hz, 25 frames per second, the crazy extra 'u's in everything, calling soggy bread 'pudding', not microwaving tea, not calling it soccer, the hate of root beer, metric, etc. (joking, a little)

Clarence Newman

Mike. I would be with you on our hissy fits if it was NOT for your heinous abuse of the word "aluminium" and the fact that SOCCER is our game and we want our ball back off everybody. Also, I've recently come back from a resort in Mexico, which was filled with Americans of all persuasions. I literally got dragged to a table by a young blonde girl one evening, who I'd *just that second met*, for the express purpose of "talking British" to her friends. Not the only time I got that compliment, I promise you. I found this all very flattering until one guy from the Mid West literally stopped me on the way to dinner and said....(oh my days, he *said*!!!).... "We all so jealous of y'allses accent." My ears bled, Michael. There's still cotton buds in there right now.

Rene G.

so basically, an unofficial adaptation yet remained 100 yr old classic movie

Mike Lemon

Yes, it is your game...but you bowed to the French, gave up your name of soccer, and called it their name of futbol. Take your name back! :-) And you misspelled aluminum. :-p

Doug Law

Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (1922) starring Max Schreck probably is the oldest film you've ever done and probably the first SILENT FILM you've ever done. I know some people have issues with silent films, but if you're going to get into the Nosferatu movies the 1922 version really is the place to start. Once you've watched it you should consider Nosferatu the Vampire (1979) starring Klaus Kinski (not a silent film) and Shadow of the Vampire(2000) with John Malkovich and Willem Dafoe. Shadow of the Vampire is based the premise that the director knowingly hired a real vampire to play the role of Nosferatu and keeps it a secret from the cast and crew as they make the movie. The tension between director FW Murnau (John Malkovich) and Nosferatu (Willem Dafoe) is incredible. They manage to keep it very scary and surprisingly funny throughout.

Clarence Newman

Nope. Thanks to "Friends", we now like to call it "Fußball".

Raieldon

But I'm willing to bet you've got the Tyler magic to have the 411 on which releases or encodes are fully public domain in which countries. There has to at least be a reddit spreadsheet or something out there.

Joe J

No spoilers now Chris...Cassie may watch The Exorcist next year, lol.

Kristin

it's not selfish. Caregiver burnout is a real thing. If you can get some outside help for your mom & dad, that would be nice for them. We focus on the people needing the care, and rightly so, but we also need to start caring more for caregivers in general (speaking from personal experience of burning out twice).

Andrea Sandor

One of the Best Diane Keaton Movies that is never mentioned : "Baby Boom" 1987. A movie you can watch over and over

Chris Thom

Yeah she's definitely more burnt out then even she knows, I think. 74 and still working part time, doing lots of things for her friends and their businesses, and supporting dad's mother. Don't think she foresaw having her plate so full at that age. On the plus side, the house is paid off, and they both have a decent pension. But she needs to rest, for sure.

Mark White

Thanks Chris, kind words. It sounds like your mom has a lot on her plate as well, especially at 74! She sounds like an amazing mom.

Mark White

The Exorcist, now that’s a horror movie I can get behind. This year would be better Joe! Cassie would be fine, she just needs to ignore the external noise about it being so scary! And Spoilers………………… It even has a Cassie ending, sort of! I mean the girls alright at the end.

Catherine LW

I was almost in despair looking for Nosferatu because all I could find was the colorized version, ugh! I found it on Kino Film but it says 1929. So confusing.

Vincent Vega

Whoever recommended Final Destination for Cassie, shame on you! I feel for her already *evil laugh*

Joe J

Maybe next year Cassie will be ready to take on films like "The Omen" and "Pet Semetary". If she always avoid the demonic/supernatural, that just eliminates the majority of the better horror films (old & new).

Catherine LW

I think the only Herzog films I have seen are documentaries: Grizzly Man and Cave of Forgotten Dreams. Grizzly Man was so disturbing and frustrating. Horrible way to die.

Clay F

I tried searching Prime to find other versions to no avail. I think I would prefer black/white.

Above Average Dave

Happy Anniversary! How many years? Based on the changes in Ben's onscreen appearance since your first year, the expansion of Halloween decorations factored in with the Coriolis effect and the curvature of the earth, I'd say...13! May you both and your children continue to have long, happy and healthy lives — with no more root canals (but laughing gas whenever you need it!). Best wishes and God bless!

Clay F

Are they all 3 about the same quality?

Lighthammer66 .

I enjoy your channel. I can't remember how I found it. Probably watching a reaction mash up video. Your channel is now one of my favorites.🙂

Richard Maurer

She watched Constantine last year, so clearly there are exceptions to be made. That movie had multiple possessions (including a child), demons, and Lucifer himself.

Clay F

The dealer feeds the addict 2 episodes per week for two seasons, and then bam cold turkey for a week. Cruel. Craving start of S3. 10 more days until the dealer relieves me of these shakes.

Clarence Newman

Slight variation, but negligible for a silent.

Richard Maurer

Catherine - Same problem. Prime used to have the correct version as well the colorized one, now for some reason they only list it on some affiliates. I think Clarence’s options above are better.

Clay F

She more willing to make exceptions if has Keanu Reeves.

Richard Maurer

Clay Yes, I looked into the other Prime versions and they’re not really suitable. Prime had the B&W just last month, now they don’t for some reason. Going with the Clarence YouTube versions he listed above.

Clay F

Mike is correct that works to play the fast copy (your copy) at 96% speed (I use factor 0.9591) to sync. But my guess it easier for you to speed the slow stream (her stream) to 104% (I use factor 1.0426) to sync, as Clarence indicated.

Clay F

My guess is that your copy is 25 fps, which is a little faster than her stream (24 fps). To slightly increase her stream speed to sync (which this always works for me): 1. If streaming her reaction on a PC or laptop, right click on her reaction video and then click "inspect". 2. Then, go to the console tab in the new window that pops up and copy/paste or type in: document.querySelector('video').playbackRate = 1.0426

Richard Maurer

Never said it was a bad movie. It’s one of the better silent movies. But that’s not saying much as filmmaking was still in its infancy. If I were to rank the 4 versions I’d go with Nosferatu 2024 Shadow of the Vampire (Tie) Nosferatu 1922 & 1979 But they’re all good. The Eggers 24 version just happens to be great.

Justin Frey

Plus one vote for Shadow Of The Vampire…love that movie!

Julie Brown

Happy Anniversary Cassie and Ben, many more to come! ❤️ Also Happy Thanksgiving from your fan in Halifax Nova Scotia. We had a beautiful Thanksgiving, the weather is beautiful a nice crisp autumn and all the leaves are turning to reds, oranges and golds, definitely no snow as it's still so nice out, not cold at all. Here on the east coast is Canada we probably won't get snow till late December/January. I imagine your winter weather in Utah is a lot worse than we get here. Can't wait to watch Carrie, a classic. Have a wonderful October and Happy Halloween 🎃

Just Plain Bob

For scary humor, I prefer 2004’s “Garth Marenghi's Darkplace”, co-created by Richard Ayoade (who also has a role). The entire series is on YouTube. I think it’s much better than “What We Do In the Shadows”, either the movie or the tv show.

Clay F

I see that they have 421K subscribers and have done several iconic series.

Kristin

The churches near them may offer support, like volunteer visiting to give caregiver some time off, and there may be some health services that can assist too. Memory care is a unique kind of suck.

Cole Jennett

We got snow on Sunday in Saskatchewan. Some of the biggest flakes I’ve ever seen, but it’s already gone.

Matt Rose

Can't wait for the original NOSFERATU. If that goes over well, hopefully you'll take a stab at THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI.

Catherine LW

Ever see What’s Up, Tiger Lily by Woody Allen? Comedy that spoofs Asian dubbed films. Hilarious!

Julie Brown

Oh Wow, big snowflake's normally means it won't stay till long, that's the kind of snow I prefer. Here in Nova Scotia we've been in drought conditions since June so we need rain desperately, I'm 55 and it's never been so bad. We've had a couple bad wildfires and one that is still going but thankfully it's contained for now. I don't know what our winter will be like as we need that moisture from the snow as well to help with the drought, not that I want any snow but if we don't get any rain we need the snow. I'm still sleeping with my window open so it's not cold out at all yet.

Tyler Foster

If Nosferatu is in HD it probably is one of two transfers. Kino released the film in the US on BD but the transfer was widely criticized. Rereading discussions, it was cropped, the tinting was considered too extreme, there were more frames missing than other versions, and there was significant telecine judder (the image shaking up and down). The Masters of Cinema version from the UK seems to generally be considered the best of the more recent transfers (which will also feature the heavier tinting), and a previous restoration released by BFI was considered the best of the older transfers (more accurate, subtle tinting). So, based on this, if you see the picture shaking, that's probably the Kino. If it doesn't shake but looks pretty saturated, then that's probably the MoC, and if neither of those things are present, then it might be the BFI. However, the film is in the public domain, so there will potentially be thousands of different versions with slight variances, especially among those uploaded to YouTube.

Tyler Foster

If she watches it, she should watch both endings in the video, as there are no differences in the rest of the film. The movie is identical and then it branches into a Y -- a crafty editor could even create full-length watch-alongs for both versions by creating a second video using a splice.

Mark White

Thanks Kristin, kind words. Thank you.

Tyler Foster

The real issue with YouTube's copyright system is that it seems like there is almost no verification for the claimants. You say someone's stolen part of "your" work? YouTube defers to you initially. Nobody's claimed those copies of NotLD, but someone could still claim a Cassie video, and even if the claim failed, she'd have to jump through all the hoops. That said, I don't say that to discourage watching NotLD or Nosferatu or anything else, just to rein in the idea that because these are in the public domain, she won't have copyright issues. Best to assume that there will always be copyright issues from someone, somewhere, and if there aren't, well, great! I actually have never seen the original Nosferatu -- I ordered a Blu-ray, then learned it was considered inferior, and ordered the better one, which disappeared into the UK mail system and never made it across the pond to me -- but I do know that Criterion's transfer of NotLD is technically copyrighted, although I have no idea if they bother to claim it on YT.

Timothy Fisher

I’m a little bummed out that you forgot about the OTHER Nosferatu remake called “Nosferatu the Vampyer” from 1979. More people should know about that one.

Richard Maurer

Clay - I’m a believer in once a exception is made, the rule is broken.

Richard Maurer

The surprise is Cassie watching Human Centipede, Hereditary, and The Exorcist starting midnight in the middle of an old cemetery.

Byrd N. Hand

There's an inside joke about Mr. Toad's Wild Ride in our family: when we first went to WDW 38 years ago and that ride was still there, my dad jokingly convinced my sister (who had just started kindergarten) that she was in fact the one controlling the steering in the car in which you sat through the ride. As a result, she had a freakout and had to be calmed down by my parents when we got out of it. We laugh about it now (as do her own 2 kids, who were eventually told about it), but she was *not* happy at the time. 😏

Mark Vaderr

Don't forget The Invisible Man and The Old Dark House.

JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS

I can't wait for your reaction to The Blair Witch Project (1999), Cassie! I can still remember seeing the original cinema posters for that way back in 1999! I'd thought I would share a couple of retrospective documentaries on it that were made just a year or two after it's release. The first is a UK Channel 4 documentary hosted by British critic, Mark Kermode, that includes interviews with the cast and directors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nsdofj9H-8 The 2nd one is a BBC documentary series, I Love 1999, hosted by Heather Donohue herself, talking about major cultural events that happened in 1999. They discuss The Blair Witch Project (1999) at 7:40 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kcxsrQVVvo

Mark Vaderr

How can anyone not love Mr. Toad's Wild Ride? It's a kiddie Fantasyland ride where you end up going to Hell!

Byrd N. Hand

I believe most of the rest of the world designates Sunday as the last day of the week (if wall calendars are anything to go by); another instance where we Americans insist on going against the grain (primarily using Fahrenheit instead of Celsius being another example). 🤷‍♂️

Danny (Icarus)

Train to Busan,is going to be a hell of a ride. Looking forward to it. Belated Happy Aniversary to you and Ben.

JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS

Little fact about Nosferatu (1922); a couple of clips of it were used and incorporated into the official music video for Queen and David Bowie single, Under Pressure. It is a montage of archive news reel footage because it wasn't possible for both Queen and David Bowie to record a music video together because their schedules were too busy and hectic!

Mark Vaderr

I feel for Cassie to, it's not a good movie. Then again, Cassie likes Twilight.

Mark Vaderr

And maybe The Phantom of the Opera, which turned 100 this year. The Lost World would be fun, even though it's not a horror, but those dinosaur effects are fun.

Dean Holt

Catherine, I’ve not watched it but thanks very much for the suggestion. Tbh I’m not really a Woody Allen fan I just don’t find his movies funny. But glad you enjoy watching his films & thanks again for the recommendation.

John Rando

Seems like there are quite a few versions of Nosferatu: different scores, different quality, color and B&W… Which version to choose? Anyone know which one is best?

Clarence Newman

I think it's a case of Cassie finding the most accessible one, John. Then we go find that one too. Youtube has several and they're all public domain.

Clarence Newman

Cassie's been hanging out with Cersei too long. She's forgotten the little people.

Tyler Foster

This one's already up in full-length form by the way.

Chris Thom

The full reaction released a couple days ago if you haven't seen it.

Tyler Foster

@Chris: I assume the Scooby-Doo in question is the 2002 movie. The more recent animated movie is simply called Scoob!. I doubt any of the DTV movies would be suggested for Cassie.

Andrew Taylor

i'm making a big assumption here, but are we getting Sinners with Carly in the next week or two? feel like it would a great reaction if so

Vincent Vega

Final Destination was great at what it was. Harsh af to lump it in the same category as Twilight

Clay F

I don’t think we getting Carly on any of the remaining October movies. I could be wrong.

Clay F

She was aware of it.

Cole Jennett

Snow is always welcome here as the farmers need it for the fields. I hope you get your share sooner rather than later for the sake of the fires.

Richard Maurer

Tyler - the 1968 version of NotLD is not copyrighted. You can literally copy and sell it, hold a public showing of it, or remake it without paying royalties. Maybe you’re thinking of 1990 remake, the script for which is copyrighted. This applies to US copyright, might be different outside the US.

Cole Jennett

It’s a big assumption to think Carly would be joining her, but Sinners with Cassie solo should be coming soon.

Tyler Foster

A simpler fix is also to just rent the film in HD, as high-definition transfers would be an evolution beyond the old-fashioned encoding methods of NTSC and PAL (the latter being the one that's 5% faster).

Tyler Foster

What I'm saying is that Criterion restored Night of the Living Dead in 4K, and their *transfer* of the film in HD and 4K is considered copyrighted. Anyone can release a version of Night of the Living Dead, but they can't rip a Criterion Blu-ray or UHD in order to do so.

Chris Thom

Carly gave a very firm 'no' for horror on the podcast. But she did join for Duel the other day. So maybe a thriller soon? Or eventually?

Tyler Foster

FD2 is generally considered the fan favorite of the series, maybe followed by FD5. I think if she wants to watch sequels, the better route would be to just edit the franchises. For example, I think there is a great trilogy of Nightmare on Elm Street films in 1, 3, and 7. It would be very possible to watch those three and not be missing anything relevant plot-wise. However, the real issue then becomes consensus. Who decides what to cut?

Julie Brown

Thanks, but like I said we don't get any significant snow until late December or January and even then it's not major. February and March is when we the most. Rain would be so much welcomed, we haven't even had a hurricane hit us this season which is extremely rare, we normally get 2 or 3, or tropical storms and we haven't got anything. Nothing is normal with our weather this year at all!

Mark Vaderr

I remember some of those early MTV videos that had these clips from old silent films. Never understood what they had to do with the songs or why they included them in the videos. Loverboy did the same thing with "Turn Me Loose".

Mark Vaderr

It would be great if we knew which version Kat Watches Horror Movies used for her reaction, it was great.

Mark Vaderr

Carly should watch Nosferatu with Cassie, she can handle it. Granted it's not the sparkling vampires they are used to, but they have to grow up eventually. Carly could watch any of the Universal Monsters, and the Val Lewton thrillers, they are quite tame, but still good stories.

David Freese

Speak for yourself. The horror fans enjoy this month Cassie gives us for as long as her heart is in it.

David Freese

It will never happen. Its a permanent no. Shes not doing it because of gore shes not doing it because of personal beliefs.

Geoff S.

Lost World was on Tv last night on one of the local LA channels.

Brent Petty

JM was great in SotV, and I believe Dafoe was nominated for an Oscar.

Brent Petty

Surprisingly emotional for a zombie flick. VERY well acted as well.

Brent Petty

Worth a reaction just for Steve Martin.

Brent Petty

It honestly plays like an action flick. Just with zombies.

Brent Petty

Yeah. They've been around a while. Train to Busan is their best reaction though, IMO.

David Freese

I think most streamers have the same copy: its on Apple TV Tubi Pluto Google TV YouTube Philo and Amazon. Most non color version is the 1 hour 21 minute one.

Richard Maurer

I honestly believe Carly would have trouble with the silent Nosferatu. I wouldn’t have in the past, but that was before her What Lies Beneath rection.

Katie Sivak

Final destination is really good you’ll like it

Mark White

I know Clarence, but it’s fun sometimes to stir the pot 😉

Kyle Reese Popcorn Fan

Does Final Destination technically count as cosmic horror, cause it's dealing with the forces of the universe? Or would cosmic horror by more like Alien and It?

Clay F

May be moot if FD2 is not inluded in (or if included, does not win) a poll next October, or if she doesn't make the executive decision to react to FD2 next October. Unless FD (2000) blows her away, I don't see her being champion of the FD franchise. If she runs out of good horror movies to react to, then FD2 may stand a better chance with her and/or voting patrons. I could be surprised b/c FD (2000) has a strong voting plurality among patrons this month.

Mojo One Thousand

It was very sad, when I heard about the passing of Diane Keaton, she was one of the good ones. "Something's gotta give" came to mind for Cassie and it was unsurprising that Cassie had already seen that one. My earliest memory of her is a movie called "Baby Boom". It was not because I had seen it, I don't think I have it all the way through, but because it was something my parents had rented on VHS when I was a kid. I think a may have seen a few minutes of it, but not much, but Diane Keaton as name/actress stayed with me from that point. I will need to watch it.

Clay F

“The Wire” (2002) (5 seasons) (60 episodes) I know we are 6 months away from concluding GoT, but nevertheless want to note I would love for you to react to THE WIRE (2002). “The Wire” is often considered one of the best TV series in history. Best TV Shows all time ranking = Rolling Stone #4, Hollywood Reporter #5, IGN #1. One of President Obama's favorite shows. CBS interview with President Obama. Interviewer: "Settle an office debate. Best 'Wire' character of all time?" Pres Obama: "It's got to be ****, right? I mean, that guy is unbelievable, right?" Pres Obama: "And that was one of the best shows of all time." Ranks up there with other iconic series. -The Wire. IMDb 9.3 -The Sopranos. IMDb 9.2 -Game of Thrones. IMDb 9.2 -Band of Brothers. IMDb 9.3 -Chernobyl IMDb 9.3 I like the acting, and how rich the series in exploring various issues with a different focus each season. Would love to see how you respond and hear your analysis.

Brian McGovern

Train To Busan. Never watched it but all the reactions make me tear up. My prediction? Cassie will likely say, I cannot believe I am crying in a zombie movie. Pity America cannot do horror that packs an emotional wallop for the most part. They’ll probably do a remake and f###it up.

Anthony Carlson

I already talk about this on Extra Butter, but for those who aren’t on it, the man who drew the iconic movie posters like Star Wars, Back to the Future, Indiana Jones, etc, Drew Struzan, has passed away earlier today. RIP

Richard Maurer

The only long series I would support her doing after GoT that has a chance of getting watched is Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Otherwise I would prefer she took a break.

Chris Thom

Is Mad Men still up there? Think that might be one of the best overall shows I've ever seen. ER was pretty great too.

Recliner Man

I cannot be more thrilled that you are watching Nosferatu. It's awesome and profoundly influential. I hope this can be the beginning of you watching some of the great & essential silent films. (e.g. more F. W. Murnau and D. W. Griffith for drama; Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd for comedy)

fastecp1

Yeah, they all are great. I picked up the Universal Classic Monsters Complete 30 Film Collection on Blu-ray years ago, and I already had most of them, including the silent horror films and all the others that weren't Universal.

Rakesh

Won't happen. Simply not in tune with demographics of this channel.

Rakesh

Well that's one way to kill the channel views.

Happy Hanukkah

I literally got dragged to a table by a young blonde girl one evening, 😛 who I'd *just that second met*, 🤪 for the express purpose of 🤩 "talking British" to her friends. 😕😒😤 😁😁😁

Happy Hanukkah

Come to think of it, why on earth would the French call it football?! Quel horreur! Thank heavens the Quebecois attempted to salvage French's honor!

Kawaii Leonard

Just putting a horror movie out there, maybe for next October. The Descent (2005) by Neil Marshall. It's my favourite western horror movie. I have a small phobia of tight spaces so that's why. And he is related to what you just watched. Neil directed Game of Thrones season 2 episode 9: Blackwater.

Clarence Newman

I'm a fan of the old silent movies, but for Cassie, silents can only be a very occasional anomaly. It will be very interesting to see what kind of views Nosferatu gets on YT (might as well put it on there, it won't take much editing.) If it crashes and burns at 20k, then it was a one and done experiment. If it gets over 50k, then maybe she can go back someday. I would stick with the funny stuff, though - Chaplin, Keaton, Harold Lloyd and Laurel and Hardy, because you've got to experience the genius of their physical comedy. One film of each maximum, so Cassie can get a feel for it, and those of us in our 120s can relive our childhoods.

Clarence Newman

I'm very sceptical about the benefit of further long series. A) Because there are too many great movies to be watched and a series takes away one slot a week, and B) I'm not sure even the best series' lend themselves to full commitment on a reaction channel. Game of Thrones is an exception because it's epic and sprawling - almost like a mini-movie in every episode - so the engagement is very visceral and it draws a lot of hardcore fans to the channel. Would The Wire or Mad Men do that? They're very good shows (The Wire in particular), but they're not epic stories episode after episode. Both (and others like it) are brilliant portrayals of daily life in......a deprived, drug-soaked neighbourhood (The Wire), an advertising firm in the early 60s (Mad Men), the diagnostic department of a hospital (House), the life of a serial killer (Dexter or Hannibal), the world of a super criminal (The Blacklist), life in a Western frontier town (Deadwood), etc etc. These are all BRILLIANT shows and well worth watching on our own time, but would they engage an audience for Cassie the way Game of Thrones has? Would any of them add 30% more subscribers just so they can watch it with her? I'm not so sure. I'm up for a bit more Star Trek in the future - particularly Picard - but Cassie can cherry pick those instead of committing the channel to months and months of every episode. We know how that bugs people who don't like the chosen show. GoT has become a weekly fix for me on this channel - I'm loving every minute of it and so are many others - but when I try to think of a series that would duplicate the kind of excitement, and positive mass engagement, that GoT engenders....I really can't think of anything.

Clarence Newman

"I stirred a pot! I stirred a pot! I stirred a pot! I stirred a pot!" Anyone who knows what film that references gets a reaction from Cassie to Cool Hand Luke.

Christian Becker

Well, IF she should return to Star Trek she ought to do DS9. We as community could help her there a little bit. As the whole series would be a little bit much to watch and as there are especially in the first two seasons some not so great episodes. But as she likes Worf quite much, we could give her the key worf episode. Watching those would encompass the Dominion War and is also one of my favorite storylines in the series ;-) Picard has -imho- just one watchable season and that's seaosn 3.

Clay F

Paid Patreon members = dropped to 2,967 in July. Then, set records of 3,682 in Aug and 4,069 in Sep thanks to her reacting to an iconic series. Sopranos would be great. So would Buffy. Both hardcore followings. -The Wire. IMDb 9.3 -The Sopranos. IMDb 9.2 -Buffy. IMDb 8.3 -Mad Men. IMDb 8.7 MAD MEN Mad Men = awesome iconic series that would provide for great reaction from Cassie, like with GoT. Character driven. Incredible character arcs. Massive charater development w/evolving back stories as Cassie likes. Awesome writing that definitely rivals Game of Thrones. Great dialogue and personal interactions. A handsome interesting protaganist w/his beautiful wife. Cassie would be so invested and give same type of entertaining reaction she is giving w/GoT that you can't get with a movie.

Clay F

Currently watching reaction to Mad Men by 2 females (late 20s). They blown away. 3000+ paid Patreon members. Mad Men is like a mini-movie in every episode - so the patron engagement is very visceral and it draws a lot of hardcore fans to the channel. Epic stories episode after episode. They absolutely loved The Wire. Mad Men definitely brought in paid Patreon members. Influx before Mad Men w/Sopranos. Sopranos fans helped Mad Men win poll. Iconic series reinvigorate a channel. Started reaction to Andor in parallel w/Mad Men. They react exclusively to series (8 years) = successful channel. Active patron community that comments. MAD MEN (RT 94%. IMDb 8.7) -56 Emmy nominations, won 16 including for Outstanding Drama Series -Golden Globe 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 winner Best TV Series – Drama -Best TV Shows all time = Rolling Stone #7, Hollywood Reporter #1 Mad Men would be right up Cassie's alley.

Clay F

Cassie repeatedly says she "loves" TV shows. Two weeks ago, she said a "reason I love shows is b/c you really get to know the characters." - don't get w/2-hr movie. I optimistic she will maintain 3rd reaction slot for series after conclusion of GoT. Just too good for channel. Plus, good and interesting for her personally. Great for us. Big benefit to channel, esp. if she sticks w/iconic series. Mad Men, Sopranos, Buffy, etc. would all be great for channel - and we get entertaining EXTENSIVELY INVESTED reactions unlike w/movies. Majority of the channel will remain movies.

Richard Maurer

I doubt if we’re going to be seeing a big increase in silent movies on the channel, basically most things pre-1980s tank on YouTube, silents would likely tank even more.

Richard Maurer

I can honestly say (not just because I’m a fan) that Buffy would be the only thing that could possibly do as well as GoT is doing (even GoT is starting show some drop-off now on YouTube). She’s done the major Star Trek series. The lesser ones won’t be the draw that the ones she’s already watched were. And Buffy fans make Star Trek fans seem noncommittal in their support anyway.

Richard Maurer

Clarence - Bold of you to promise a Cassie reaction to a movie many people here have probably never seen and care nothing about (not including myself).

Clarence Newman

Bold indeed! I'm hoping someone answers correctly, then Cassie sees the post and goes, "Oooh, I've been wanting to watch that one anyway!" I'm a desperate man, Richard, what can I say?

Richard Maurer

Tyler -that’s why I mentioned altered versions like the ‘90 remake could be partly copyrighted (such as the script) but not fully copyrighted. Any alterations made in the Criterion edition would be copyrighted, but that wouldn’t stop Cassie from taking a normal, grainy version of NotLD along with her reaction and posting it to YouTube. If anything she might want to copyright her reaction version so no one else could post it. Also, I’d argue the original grainy version is “better” than the Criterion version - certainly more authentic to the original movie going experience I and many others had.

Mark White

Before I say my thoughts on tv series, I should just say I have not seen any of the TV series mentioned In this comment thread, apart from Star Trek of course and a few episodes of buffy. Personally I would prefer Cassie to take a break for a while after GoT and focus on movies. However if she was to watch a series to help drive the channel forward, I know The sopranos are very popular and I hear a lot of good things about peaky Blinders. But if I’m picking something I am positive Cassie would enjoy, it would be more Trek or Buffy. Cassie has mentioned on more than one occasion she likes the whole teenager/high school setting, mentioning it again with Scream 2. So Maybe Buffy might be worth a go.

Mark White

Is that a direct quote? Or just a reference? I’m lost on this one?🤔 Even cheating with Google hasn’t helped 🤷‍♂️

Clarence Newman

It is an *almost* direct quote. And stop trying to protect Cassie from her totally trumped-up obligation to watch Cool Hand Luke. We know she wants to.

Clarence Newman

I need to edit my original quote, because I've just found it on Youtube and he doesn't actually say that! What he says is "I stole a pie! I stole a pie! I stole a pie!"

Above Average Dave

I went to St. F.X.U. in Antigonish (AKA Antigonowhere) in NS for two years, Julie, and remember the season well in NS. There was no break for American Thanksgiving (obviously), and my dormmates and teammates (football) would laugh at us Americans trying to scrounge some turkey and gravy — although potatoes from New Brunswick were abundant. They'd call it "Yanksgiving" and marveled at how it was such a big deal in the States.

Julie Brown

Oh that's cool! I mean thanksgiving is basically the same in Canada and US other than it's in two different months, but the US definitely goes more overboard where as it's more chill in Canada. Lol!

Mike Lemon

Apparently everyone has to give their opinion on long-ass series replacing the variety found when watching movies, so here goes- long series (and franchises) suck donkey butt. Unless you like the series, 1/3 of the chance getting something you like is pissed away for months on end, and before anybody types that inane argumet of, "but there are still 2...," just stop. If the series was Inuyasha, I would bet every person advocating for more long-ass series would be bitching up a storm every day.

MikeLL

I for one, would welcome a watch of The Wire. I think it is the best TV series of all time, even with it's many flaws. And this is from the Classic Era movie guy, who doesn't get excited about a movie (usually) unless its from before 1970.

Richard Maurer

Agree 100%. But that doesn’t stop me from advocating for Buffy the Vampire Slayer. How can I do both, be against a long series while simultaneously advocating for Buffy, you might ask? Well chances are there will be another long series watched at some point, and I will do whatever I can to have that likely inevitable long series be Buffy. The only other long series I’d be for is Naruto / Naruto Shippuden, which has a slightly better chance of happening than Inuyasha, which is to say slightly better than none. I always at least mention a break from long series would be an acceptable alternative, but seeing as GoT didn’t tank, we are likely to have more long series in our future, and I would prefer it be something I want to watch this time. As much I’d prefer no long series, planning for the likelihood of another one just makes sense to me.

Richard Maurer

The only thing FD has in common with Twilight is young (seeming) people were the main protagonists.

Gray

I can't see her starting a new show other than maybe more Star Trek after GoT ends atleast not for a good while. There are no shows I would recommend her watching either (plenty for off channel), going back to 3 film slot is fine with me

Just Plain Bob

Mike, amen. An example of the hypocrisy of the “but there are still 2” argument is how many people whine about Cassie devoting 1/12 of her reactions to Halloween reactions. Now, imagine how they’d react if she decided to do nothing but horror from September thru December, 1/3 of her annual reactions. They’d lose their minds.

Clarence Newman

"Long series' suck donkey butt". You're a poet, Mike!

Joe J

I'm here for movies. I have some favorite long-ass shows (haha)...but would never recommend any for the channel. GoT I see as a special case. Cassie very much wanted to react to it. I really don't see her having much interest in other longer shows like The Sopranos, The Wire, The Boys, and Better Call Saul..just to name a few. YT views on these shows would also be much lower than GoT IMO.

Milton Reduxed

You're farting into the wind. The channel has gained like 700-800 subs since starting Game of Thrones—that's an entire annual income added to the PiB household, and when it finishes the channel will look for the next popular series to keep those numbers up

Joe J

We need a poll, "Movies That Will Suck on YT"...wait we already have that with Cassie's PPoTMs, lol.

Happy Hanukkah

So are you subliminally recommending Waitress (2007), or Twin Peaks? Or maybe it's a bank shot for Baby Driver (2017)? ADDED: :-)

kaiielle

If all Patreon members were like Mike, and continued to pay month after month despite only watching a fraction of the content, then Cassie wouldn't have to worry about what she reacted to. Series keep a % of people here for far longer than they may if it was solely stand-alone films and that matters. So I could see Cassie beginning another popular series when Game of Thrones is over. And who knows, maybe one day she increases to 4 slots per week - 3 movies and 1 TV video. Anything can happen. She also really enjoys series and the long time spent with the characters and story, so I'd love for her to go through more of that and share it with us.

Joe J

If Cassie does move forward with another long show, she really should commit to only the 1st season, with the caveat that if the YT views are not good, she quits the show. Reactors do this...if the views aren't there it's bye-bye. Smaller channels can live with 15-25k views per episode...Cassie needs in the 50-60k range per episode.

Mark White

Clarence I’ve not seen Peaky Blinders. So I’m not saying Cassie should watch it. But I’ve heard from a lot of friends it’s a must watch.

Clarence Newman

Muzzle toff! Then I recommend "Soap" (1977-81) - the comedy series that launched Billy Crystal's career (not counting SNL). The Tates and the Campbells, mayhem, murder and miscreant tendencies abound. Yes, I'm joking. But not by very much.

Joe J

What other long series does she feel the same about as GoT, she hasn't mentioned any as far as I remember. GoT seems a special case IMO...I don't see other shows getting the YT numbers and paid patron bump.

Mark White

I agree with you and Mike, Kaiielle. If Cassie watches a long series like GoT, those who don’t like it, loose a third of your movie slots a week. Which is a lot. However Cassie has her business to run and bills to pay like the rest of us and if it brings in people, I would totally understand. Also Cassie does give really great reactions when she is following favoured characters each week. I guess it’s a damed if you do and damed if you don’t. I think if I was in Cassie’s shoes, I would want to strike while the iron is hot. You never know with this sort of business if it could all end tomorrow. But, It bloody well NOT! I would be lost without PiB!

Mike Lemon

"If all Patreon members were like Mike, and continued to pay month after month despite only watching a fraction of the content, then Cassie wouldn't have to worry..." I hope she sees the problem with that...

Mark White

Thanks Anthony, didn’t know that. I’ve got quite a few of those posters on T shirts.

Clarence Newman

None of those, Hap. The relevant YT link is in my last comment.

Rakesh

I have no problems with series. Truth be told I watch series more than movies. She's made smart choices with the series she watches in depth. They all have fandoms and this bring on board people who will continuously watch these videos hence evergreen content. And you can see that from viewing figures of movies to TV. You keep banging this drum. But she's doing it a. Because she enjoys watching these shows and b. In most cases it's ensures the channel survives by bring in new people and generates the income. We get it you don't like it. There's much you don't like and you're vocal about it. But you're in the minority, so make peace with it and enjoy the ride.

Byrd N. Hand

It's not our fault the vast majority of people out there apparently still have no idea movies existed before the '80s, Rakesh... or, at any rate, have little to no curiosity about any movies/music/etc. released before then. 🙄

Rakesh

Richard, agreed. Buffy was a great show. Tbh I ended up enjoying Angel a lot more. It has it's own little fandom although wheldon caused it to be knocked sideways. It however is popular enough for a reboot ( who knows how that will do though) not 100% sure how it would do ratings wise. It would be cool if she watched pilots of 4 shows and put up a poll of what she should continue watching. Buffy, DS9, Stargate.

Byrd N. Hand

Again, I point to Fawlty Towers: just 2 seasons of 6 half-hour episodes each (for people scratching their heads as to why American TV seasons are so short these days, I refer to you the Brits and say, 'They basically started it' 🤐).

Buran Doyon

For Buffy it's viable that Cassie could do what she did with STNG and have votes for 4-5 episodes per season. That just doesn't work for GOT which I'm enjoying watching with her but SO many episodes to go. I would like to see each week of GOT be three episodes which would shorten the series by multiple weeks.

Buran Doyon

LOL, I like that Cassie watches some great content that will not necessarily rack up views but I agree a bunch of silent films would hurt the channel.

Byrd N. Hand

Please tell me "Duel" will be coming to YT. 🙏

Christian Becker

Yeah, Buffy was nice as far as I can recall. But to be honest the thing I remember most about Buffy is Sarah Michelle Gellar. There some very nice storylines as well, but overall it was SMG . :-)

Joe J

Sure, but next month I would think.

Joe J

Reaction channels must have some finite lifespan. I really wonder if Cassie will still be reacting beyond another 3-4 years. Maybe she just runs out of movies and shows she would have any interest in watching. She really doesn't like older pre-90s content.

Catherine LW

I watched the 1922 version, not expecting it to be scary but I was surprised by it really creeping me out. The body language is excellent.

Joe J

The X-Files is a great show. Each season react to the 3-4 over-arching alien episodes plus a few more of the standalone episodes, these could be voted in like TNG was.

Chris Thom

It's definitely about fate and curses. Which a lot of horror movies deal with, directly or indirectly. The Scream movies are kind of about a dark karma visited on the youth from her mother. Not sure if there is a cosmic horror sub genre or not. Usually just consider it Horror.

Chris Thom

Probably just a way to tie in some old-school legacy media and film because MTV was supposed to be the hot new thing. Scream 2 had some random shots of Nosferatu just to increase the creepy vibe.

Joe J

Nosferatu (2024) has all the elements to properly freak Cassie out...should be a great reaction, lol.

Rakesh

Question. I'm pretty sure Cassie went to a comic con for star trek was there a video? Of said event?

Joe J

We were promised a Vlog....never happened.

Clarence Newman

Who knows? 5 years ago she thought she'd last three weeks. In five years time, she'll probably be doing reactions with a celebrity of the week from inside their own houses. "Tonight on PiB - The Hills Have Eyes with Michael Berryman."

Rakesh

Nothing lasts forever, but plenty of movies out there. I suggested a while back that she needs to interspace poll winners with things that are not at the top of the list but bottom and middle. Other wise your left with a download slope of movies. Each one with ever diminishing views because they aren't popular. If you mix it up the gradient is more level.

Clarence Newman

Peaky Blinders is brilliant. I think Cassie would have a soft spot for Ar'vur.

Chris Thom

Thought she might edit a video together after finally meeting OG Kirk. But she's said before she doesn't thinks she's good at vlogging. Though she did kind of promise. Plus there's the John Williams show at the Hollywood Bowl, The Philadelphia Rocky Steps, and a couple other things.

Rakesh

Problem with X files was it went on too long and past its prime. The arch is too long and confusing. Maybe if it was just standalone EPs. I found fringe, better more coherent and tighter script wise.

Happy Hanukkah

""" "If all Patreon members were like Mike, and continued to pay month after month despite only watching a fraction of the content, then Cassie wouldn't have to worry..." I hope she sees the problem with that... """ For the subtlety-challenged: If you do have loyal Patrons like Mike (or Yours Truly) "who continue ...", it might not be wise to take their loyalty for granted by reducing the fraction of the content they enjoy by a further 33%. I fully accept there are bills to pay, and don't begrudge Cassie any decision she makes. I'm just giving voice to the counter-opinion, lest anyone think there are free lunches.

Chris Thom

I haven't seen any of them yet, but looks like most reaction channels have one.

Clay F

Jen Murray is reacting to DS9. Awesome. TNG + DS9 definitely brought in paying patrons. She may add Voyager by air date. The patron poll choice "I'm not interested in TV shows at all, only movies" got merely 2%. I think many PiB patrons (not vocal) welcome 1/3 PiB as reaction to series. If GoT is a success, PiB could add a 4th reaction slot for the next series so that patrons who hate series still get 3 movies per week. The channel has not been exclusively movies. By my count, she reacted before GoT to about 184 episodes, which is average 40 episodes per year (equivalent in run time to 20 movies per year, or 0.4 movie per week). Star Trek TNG = select 40+ episodes The Mandalorian = 24 episodes The Last of Us = 16 episodes Firefly = 14 episodes Band of Brothers = 10 episodes The Pacific = 10 episodes Haunting of Hill House = 10 episodes WandaVision = 9 episodes Masters of the Air = 9 episodes True Detective S1 = 8 episodes The Queen's Gambit = 7 episodes The Book of Boba Fett = 7 episodes Loki = 6 episodes Obi-Wan Kenobi = 6 episodes Falcon and Winter Soldier = 6 episodes Chernobyl = 5 episodes The reason I joined PiB was because of her full reactions to Band of Brothers, The Pacific, True Detective, and The Queen's Gambit.

Rakesh

Byrd N Hand, I'm continuously flummoxed by poll winners but vox populi vox dei. People vote with views. Ultimately this is a business. Not yours or mine but theirs and thier source of income. There's plenty of movies I like but I know some of them won't be viewing winners, and I'm happy to mix it up and recommend movies that are popular and not so. But we already know pre 80s movies have lower views and as much as I like laurel and hardy, Charlie chan, movies by Crosby and hope etc etc I know its likely to a detrimental effect. I think she does a good balancing act, but it could be tweaked a tad.

Chris Thom

Possibly in November? Richard may've convinced her that it's not an October kind of movie.

Clarence Newman

Fawlty Towers would be doable, Byrd. Manic, iconic and, as you say, a very short series. Better yet, how about a mini-marathon of classic British comedy? One episode each of Fawlty Towers ("Manuel, it's a rat!"), Porridge ("Naff off, Godber!"), Only Fools and Horses ("Here it comes, Del Boy!") and Blackadder ("Mrs Miggins, if we were the last three human beings on earth, I'd be trying to start a family with Baldrick!")

Rakesh

Ok. Not brilliant. Imho. Felt it was overhyped by some. Perhaps it was around the time that felt that Korean cinema had achieved a break through in pop culture. Thought dawn of the dead by Snyder had better emotional beats.

Clay F

+1 for Peaky Blinders, but I think she tried it.

Clay F

She went to the Star Trek convention in Las Vegas. There were some pics.

No series (even iconic series) will get a ton of YT views for her. Maybe 1-2 years ago, but not now. THE SOPRANOS Bringing in paying patrons is where it's at. In that respect, The Sopranos would be No. 1, even above GoT. The Sopranos has such a massive hardcore following, and doesn't have the baggage that GoT has. The Sopranos is an iconic series that changed TV. Many young adults and first-time viewers jumped on Sopranos bandwagon during the pandemic. PANDEMIC "During the COVID-19 pandemic, 'The Sopranos' experienced a major resurgence in popularity, especially among young adults and first-time viewers. In May 2020, WarnerMedia reported that viewership on its streaming service, HBO Now, had surged by 179% since the beginning of the pandemic." "The rise of social media and podcast culture created a fan community. Younger, internet-savvy audiences drove online conversations, creating memes and repurposing quotes from the show to translate it into a modern, internet-friendly language. This phenomenon was amplified by the 2020 launch of the popular rewatch podcast Talking Sopranos, hosted by cast members Michael Imperioli and Steve Schirripa. Long-form, high-quality content filled a need during lockdown. With so many people stuck at home, there was a high demand for substantial, high-quality content that could be binged over weeks. For many, the critically acclaimed, 86-episode run of The Sopranos was the perfect choice.... The show's fashion and style became trendy." MY KIDS I heard it with my young adult kids -- how The Sopranos became popular among their friends. I was like what? But then made sense. Glad that The Sopranos had a resurgence and became trendy with new viewers. Add that to the massive hardcore following that already existed. The Sopranos was my No. 1 series of the 2000s.

If Richard gets the chance to convince Cassie of anything, we're getting the lanky vampire.

I fail to see what the problem would be, Mike. You're a member who doesn't tie the value of your membership to the amount of content that you are interested in. You seem to take pride in watching so few reactions this year and making sure everybody knows it. It shows that you have unconditional support for PIB and you enjoy being part of this group, even if only a few reactions have appealed to you. So my point is that if a signficant % of members had that mindset too, then Cassie would have much stronger long-term stability that isn't directly tied to what she's watching (and the importance of YouTube views would be reduced a bit too). This would likely result in her watching the kind of movies that you've been wanting her to watch anyway!

kaiielle

I think it was Dave who mentioned on an older post that the Duel edit would drop on YouTube in November.

Stick Figure Studios

For my money, he's the greatest movie poster artist who ever lived.

Happy Hanukkah

Byrd, I strongly support your Fawlty Towers recommendation. In general, I have much less of a problem with miniseries. (For this channel, of course.)

Gray

She did do some live vlogging on instagram when she went to meet Kirk

Mike Lemon

The problem is that doesn't last forever. If you ignore the "base" because they are always there so you can chase views/support, that base will eventually leave. "You seem to take pride in watching so few reactions this year..." Annoyance and disappointment, not pride. I would love to be interested in more than 12 1/2 reactions this year, but with 33% of those chances gone right off the bat, the odds aren't very good. That's the point, it has always been my point- not constantly having something I want, but having that chance (and variety). "It shows that you have unconditional support for PIB..." It's not unconditional, and with the Fully Monty controversy, the July madness, the DMs, and the thing I am forbidden to discuss, that "condition" is getting very close.

Mike Lemon

@Richard- (the missing comment) Well said.

Richard Maurer

Was it Leatherface in Texas Chainsaw Massacre, part II?

Joe J

Rakesh - So not a fan of the X-Files? Well, that points out the problem with long series on the channel, everyone just likes what they like. Movies are one and done, but long TV shows are polarizing for many patrons because if you don't like the show, it's many months of waiting for it to be over.

kaiielle

Mike, I was being hypothetical and outlining a dream scenario in which nobody would ever leave regardless of what happens (like you). But fine, back to what's actually happening, I don't know why you feel like Cassie is ignoring her "base" to watch Game of Thrones, and potentially other series after that. Who is the base, anyway? Is it only the members who never want series reactions? Is it who watches the most reactions? Is it the members who comment the most? Is it the members who have given the most financial support? I think many members who fit into the last three categories are watching and enjoying the Game of Thrones reactions, so I really don't know what you mean by "base". Let's keep in mind that Cassie has watched series on the channel since the very beginning. This is just the first one that is much longer than the ones before it. Sadly, unless my hypothetical dream scenario actually comes true, Cassie does have to care a bit about views and increased support to make up for people who cancel. It doesn't mean she's going to start ignoring us. But it's impossible to please us all, even all of the people who are in the "base", whatever that group is.

Rakesh

Joe j, it's not that I'm not a fan I just think that there are better suited TV shows that will hold audience views over an extended watch. I could be wrong about X files, The Wire and Madman. I like them fine as TV shows, but I just don't think they fit in with the tone of the channel. I want to do a X files rewatch myself as I dipped in and out when it was first shown by and felt it just went off course with an arch that went nowhere and leads that went awol . Mini series of 1 to 8 episodes don't seem to be an issue they are small enough that people will watch or not. Longer shows tend to be " fandom" based i.e star trek, marvel series and star wars. There's an inbuilt audience that will keep on watching episodes. It's ever green. I've been though the rabbit hole again and watched some tng EPs on the channel and it's 35 years old! (By the way mods some tng ep have been taken down by yt) GOT has it's own fandom and bring in it's own viewers at patrons so it makes sense. I got no problem with a mix of TV and movies but they need to be right for the channel.

Mike Lemon

I'll point out two things in my previous reply that appear to have been missed before proceeding- 'if' and scare quotes. "series on the channel since the very beginning." Quick, how many episodes were each of those? And how many "watch slots"? Now what about Trek and Game of Thrones. From my original comment (emphasis mine)- "...on **long-ass series** replacing the variety ..." "Who is the base, anyway?" The people who stick around during lean times and aren't here just because she is watching a show they like. The people who have been here for years, since the slogan was "...watching **movies**..."- the thing that spawned the channel name and logo. "This is just the first one that is much longer than the ones before it." Trek is about the same, so that is about two **years** of long-ass series/franchises. It's a lot to expect people to wait through. Back to my original comment and replies.

Joe J

Since only about 1/3 of paid patron ever vote on any polls (single vote polls), and only a handful of patrons ever seem to post comments...leads me to the conclusion that about 2/3 of patrons don't care in the least what Cassie reacts to. They pay the money each month...that's it.

kaiielle

Mike, thanks for clarifying. Unfortunately, that group has lots of people who also enjoy watching TV series reactions, even if movies were the reason that brought them here in the first place and kept them here. I think you mean: the people who will never watch TV series, but this isn't the base of the community, it's just a preference. Cassie choosing to skip a week of Game of Thrones in order to release three movies again during horror movie season, is pretty clear evidence that she recognizes that Game of Thrones is a long journey that not everyone is interested in watching. I anticipate that she may skip another week maybe 2-3 more times before the series concludes.

Richard Maurer

Mike - I pulled my comment (I thought) before anyone could read it. Didn’t want to poke the bear twice in one day. Edit: while it wasn’t particularly negative I thought it seemed like unnecessary piling on. I only remove comments before I get replies, not after.

Mike Lemon

"I think you mean..." No. I mean what I wrote. "Cassie choosing to skip a week of Game of Thrones in order to release three movies again during horror movie season..." To put it another way- Cassie has taken three (four?) of the October reactions away from the very limited slots for horror (or horror adjacent), to watch Game of Thrones. See the problem?

Mike Lemon

@Richard- Oh. I got the email and thought it might be one of the disappearing comments that have been happening. I also have a notification from Darren, but there is no comment here.

Chris Thom

I know Japanese and Korean movies have a strong fan base. But I do sometimes wonder if the industry there hires people online to hype up their movies to encourage profits.

Chris Thom

Oh maybe she was just referring to Instagram. Damn so many platforms to keep track of. Lol

Scott Neumann

GoT is what started the reaction genre on Youtube. Who knows where we'd be with out it? I personally enjoy show reactions more, the content creator gets vested in it, like trilogy's and movie franchises like Mission Impossible, MCU, Harry Potter etc...

Richard Maurer

Covid is what really started the reaction genre, or at least kickstarted it anyway.

Rakesh

I think the movie will do well on viewing figures, simply because the algo will reach groups it hasn't reached before ( IE those who like Korean movies) may also cause an overall increase as they find more reactions from her on the Thier feed

Clarence Newman

"I stole a face! I stole a face! I stole a face!"

Jon Johns

I hadn't seen '22 in decades, but watched the double feature with Cinebinge, and they noticed a LOT of stuff, so this could be fun!

Jon Johns

Shaneth, Sinners is unannounced, but very likely. Nosferatu (the eggars version from '24) is also planned. That's a fairly hot gh percentage of modern films! Also, remember, many Patreon members are... Older gentlemen, and suggest and vote for their nostalgia. Not to say, some with as little experience with film as Cassie, it is commonly thought, should watch older films 1st, to see how they influenced more modern films. Finally, folks who watch reaction videos on YouTube prefer older, more familiar films, rather than newer stuff 🤷🏻. One must feed the beast!

Jon Johns

Hey djkento! Cassie, 99.99% of the time, watched whatever is streaming on the top most popular services. I scanned thru 5-6 of these, and they all show the 1hr 21 minutes version. I did let Ben know to let US know what version / runtime / platform she watches, so we can better sync. So, there are 6-7 versions out there, right? Some are only available is certain places 🏴‍☠️ and I don't think she even knows how to use that site. But, either way, she will include the deets in the post for us! Good catch.

Jon Johns

MrK I mentioned to Ben to.let us know in the post which version. 99.9% of the time, she watches what is most widely available on streaming, in this case, that would be the 1hr21min version, but she'll let us know so we can better sync. 😃

Jon Johns

Hey Erik! 1) October schedule is fully booked this year. 2) although is not 'scary', it does contain elements that Carly will not stand for. Carly has gotten married recently, is pretty busy with her podcast, and doesn't have a lot of time for reaction videos. If you watched the "Duel" reaction, they said that it would be the only film for her in October. Carly has healthy boundaries, we try to respect. She'll be sticking to action / comedy / rom com going forward, and likely only once a month. 🤷🏻

Jon Johns

Kevin! Cassie talked about it during a live, maybe the pick a flick? She gets VERY confused between little shop & rocky horror. But Little Shop is on her radar, a comedy musical, but when she sees "horror" / "horrors" in the title she becomes nauseous, so it takes convincing! We even told her the LSoH is Carly friendly! But I think October is booked up this year, maybe next?

Jon Johns

Chris Thom - Cassie has seen Mad Men, she worked in Advertising, she mentioned living it several times in livestreams.

Ted Whalen

So I wonder if Cassie and Carly are ready for the Holy War this Saturday (Utah vs BYU). FOX is going to do the Big Noon Kickoff program show from Provo this week. It will be interesting to see what tailgating looks like at BYU (is everyone going to be jacked up on Dr. Pepper and Mountain Dew)?????

Chris Thom

Wow...Michael Berryman from a vintage Wes Craven. Think that's what the interweb people call a "deep cut".

Scott

It's not viable to do 4-5 episodes a season of Buffy. There are very few stand alone episodes after the early part of Season 2. And the best episodes are part of the continuing arc, which won't make much sense if viewed at random. Cassie loved Firefly, also created by Joss Whedon, and Buffy is even better

Richard Maurer

Scott - agree, skipping Buffy episodes doesn’t work. But since Buffy episodes are usually 15 minutes shorter than GoT episodes, Cassie could do at least 3 episodes at a time, the same way Ashleigh Burton did.

Richard Maurer

No it was a pie…….a MEAT pie. A meat pie of indeterminate origin.

Joe J

YT views so far for SBNTS Oct. Thought Scream 2 might do better. Monster Squad is basically forgotten by most people. The Fly did pretty well. The Fly (81k, 12 days) The Monster Squad (36k, 7 days) Scream 2 (45k, 5 days)

Mark Vaderr

I'd say Scream is just about a psychotic killer going on a rampage.

Mark Vaderr

Richard- Completely agree. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is tailor made for Cassie. Great combination of comedy, drama, and the supernatural/horror with a high school setting. Cassie would love it.

Florian Zingen

Soooo.. this week is „Valar Morghulis“ 😢 Can’t wait for Season 3

Clay F

NUMBER OF EPISODES The Sopranos - 86 The Wire - 60 Buffy - 144 The Expanse - 64 Andor - 24 Dexter - 96 The Americans - 75 Freaks and Geeks - 18

James M

I agree that a long TV series is not fun if you don't like the series. You didn't really say anything else of substance in your OP. Are you implying that PiB should not react to any long TV series? I disagree. I think having a long series keeps people engaged better than just whichever movie won a poll. In fact linking movies in a series like PiB does is better than movies without a theme. In general all the interconnectedness of either series episodes or of movies is more engaging for viewers. Are you implying that PiB should always check with you before selecting a long TV series? No of course not because no one would be that egotistical... right?

James M

BTW: I think it makes sense to follow a long series even at the risk of having to skip lots of material. If Buffy comes up I will skip them all because I don't think it's really very good. In fact if "The Sopranos" or "Star Trek" (any flavor) or "Severance" or "Black Mirror" or really almost any series is chosen I am pretty sure to skip it. I don't like them, but I still believe having a series makes sense, and maybe just maybe something fantastic will happen and I will get to see people react to "Dekalog" or "Fleabag" or "Blackadder". There are some really good series out there IMO but in general they aren't the ones that get a lot of attention.

James M

YES! I've been mentioning silent film for some time hoping for any reaction. Honestly this is not my top pick because of the stylized feel. American silent film offers a smoother introduction to people who very often know nothing about it. People I've known are regularly surprised after watching "City Lights", "Sunrise", "The General", or "The Gold Rush" with how accessible they are. Conversely when shown "Nosferatu", "Battleship Potempkin" or "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" I usually hear "oh yes it's all very high-minded but not so much fun as #real movies". So I'm happy to see this in the lineup but also a bit disappointed for this as the first silent.

Clay F

In 8 days, we'll be back in a groove.

Mike Lemon

"You didn't really say anything else of substance in your OP. " Then you missed the point. "Are you implying that PiB should not react to any long TV series?" No. I'm flat out saying it, at least when there are only three "watch slots" a week. "Are you implying that PiB should always check with you before selecting a long TV series?" Well no, but that is a great idea. You should make another top level comment and suggest it.

Mark Vaderr

At this point in time, Cassie's channel is nearly indestructible, that nothing could affect it. A slew of silent films isn't going to damage the channel, but I don't foresee Cassie watching a bunch of them either. It would be fun if she did, and she may end up watching more silents here and there. We shall see.

Mark Vaderr

Good movie, but oh boy, Cassie would have a difficult time with it.

Clarence Newman

8 days is an eternity. In Dead Poets, Neil Perry topped himself for less.

Richard Maurer

Figured The Fly would do the best of those 3.

Clarence Newman

But Nosferatu 1922 is well scary. I plan to have nightmares.

Mark White

Everyone of those classic comedies would be awesome, but it will never happen. I imagine PiB is a mostly US audience, so there would be little appetite apart from a few UK members. But we can dream Clarence.

Mike Lemon

"I plan to have nightmares." I still think 'nightmare people' are just an elaborate ruse to mess with my head, and everyone is in on it.

Mark Vaderr

I certainly didn't expect this game to have a studio crew LIVE show from there. This year's Holy War has importance, but it's hardly the biggest game of the week. Brigham Young has proven how good of a team they are this season, whereas Utah has been a tad disappointing. Still, both teams are ranked, and I think that Utah is actually favored.

Anthony Carlson

Ace Frehley, cofounder and lead guitarist of KISS (also known as Spaceman) has just passed away. RIP

Mike Lemon

Hot take- Dolls was his best song.

Mike Lemon

Oh, and we need a Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park reaction...or not. The movie is ********.

Richard Maurer

No, we’re definitely NOT in on it.

Scott

Throw in a forbidden love story and its a made for Cassie show. Given it was at its peak popularity at the end of the 1990s, I'm a little surprised that it wasn't on her radar back then

Scott

Happy wedding anniversary to Cassie and Ben

Rene G.

hahaha she thinks blair witch is a real documentary. Nah, it's the found footage subgenre... Although Cannibal Holocaust was the original found footage grand daddy of them all. She should see that if she has the stomach for it. Plus Paranormal activity and REC amplified the found footage genre to 100 on steroids.

Clarence Newman

What happened to the In The Name of The Father YT edit?

TheSingulatarian

I am not watching "Phantom of the Park" you can't make me.

Clay F

I think that will be November.

Byrd N. Hand

There is only the 'free me,' Symbols. I've always been a 'freeloader' here. I did delete my original account a few months ago in a period of disillusionment, but eventually reconsidered. 😐

She can post that later...it'll die on YT anyway, lol.

Views are down so much across the board from last year. The reactorverse is on life support.

Kawaii Leonard

It's Youtube's new rules which doesn't count views from people watching with an adblock.

Clarence Newman

+1's for Vicky Cristina Barcelona (that would be the one I'd pick for Cassie), but also Thelma & Louise (How has she not?), Escape From Alcatraz and The Deer Hunter. I'm sure the rest are all good films, but those are the ones that are on my list.

Mike Lemon

Here's my long list that I refer to every month to decide on my PAF entry. --Indictment: The McMartin Trial (1995)

Chris Thom

All great ones. Think my top of those for this channel would be Out of Sight, Friday Night Lights, Frost/Nixon, Leaving Las Vegas, Black Swan, Thin Red Line, and Capote.

Chris Thom

Yeah she promised it for November in late September.

Chris Thom

Did CH get released in theaters?

Chris Thom

Reaction channels seem to love The Descent.

Clarence Newman

Great. I have now become completely useless to Cassie.

Clay F

My guess is Cassie would like "Lion" (2016) the best. She likes the cast Dev Patel, Roony Mara, Nicole Kidman, but there is more about it than the cast she would like. A moving story that would have her weeping. When I want that deep positive moving feeling that makes it hard not to cry, I put on Lion (2016) for a rewatch.

Richard Maurer

My list consists of Horror of Dracula and The Final Programme. Though I’m considering adding It Follows.

Clay F

It Follows is on my watchlist.

Rene G.

I really enjoyed the UNBLURRED full reaction of Nosferatu btw. Should have been the default format for patreon long ago.

Gray

Best hope for some more public domain films for more unblurred reactions as it's just too risky with copyright to post full movies. Night of the Living Dead is another good public domain film, hopefully next Halloween.

Connor P

not blurring runs the risk of getting the channel in trouble - theres tons of diffferent places to find the movies. Reddit has good sources of where to find them

Connor P

Halle Barry in monsterball was the definition of raw performance!

Richard Maurer

Kawaii Leonard - That literally makes no sense. Why punish content creators for their viewers having ad blocks? Something the creators have absolutely no control over? Between this and all the AI slop they allow to get posted recently it almost seems like YouTube is trying to destroy their business.

Happy Hanukkah

Nothing you can do about it. The Phantom of the Park is there inside your mind.

Just Plain Bob

Chris, I was unaware of it at the time of its release, being only ten or eleven in 1980. But I’m a big fan of Grindhouse cinema and its name appears on the marquees of 42nd Street theaters in documentaries on the era that I’ve seen. So it does appear to have been released in theaters in the States. If you have any interest, I’d suggest finding a copy of “42nd Street Memories.” I think it’s on Tubi for free. They interview patrons of the era and discuss the infamous Grindhouse district of 60s-80s New York, with much discussion of the theater experience and the films that were on offer. It’s one of my favorite documentaries about films/theaters.

JohnnyUtah

The more I think about it, I'm surprised no 28 days later over train to Busan.

Chris Thom

I would be tempted to try it, but would also suck so bad to lose her whole channel over it.

Chris Thom

Feel like that performance led directly to Charlize Theron in Monster. They both seemed to be going for that Oscar with a fury.

Chris Thom

I went through a phase of watching a lot of old street footage and driving from the 30's thru the 70's on YouTube. I love how much dimmer all the lights are. Quite a vibe. Love seeing the old marquees too. So many titles I've barely heard of.

Rene G.

SHe already saw 28 days 2 years ago on her channel. She needs to see the remaining 2 sequels

JohnnyUtah

Ok thanks, I searched it, must have typed wrong

Rene G.

HAHHAHAHA Just saw her instagram story video posts of her Final destination aftermath reaction. She would often check her kids room, from the ceiling fans, to the electric fan close to the window blowing it off, and she even turned off the fan. Wait still she sees the final destination sequels. She'll be 1000% paranoid for the rest of her life if she keeps checking her house for safety stuff. lol. Looks like Final Destination traumatized Cassie for life. Ours got traumatized for the final destination 2 and 3 for different phobias!!

Peter Morscheck

Some great films on this list but my # 1 pick for Cassie to watch is Thelma & Louise.

Mike Lemon

I think the prison sentence and millions in fines would be the bigger risk. There is a $250,000 fine and 5 years in prison for each offense if someone gets a wild hair about it.

Clay F

Peter - I think that is my No. 1 also - for sure in top 5.

Richard Maurer

Train to Busan is better than 28 Days - imo

Joe J

I hope FD or Train to Busan drops today.

Joe J

Not sure this month. Probably Under Siege, but maybe Bullitt or The Towering Inferno.

kaiielle

Final Destination should as Cassie posted on Instagram stories about being freaked out by her bedroom fan and her bathtub. 😅 She watched it last night.

Joe J

Thanks, for some reason I assumed she always took weekends off from reactions, but maybe she was behind this week. What's her Insta link?

Clay F

+1 for Under Siege or Bullitt

Just Plain Bob

I thought 28 Weeks Later was weak sauce; a major drop in quality from 28 Days Later, which I enjoyed immensely (although I’ve always marveled at Cillian Murphy’s powers of recuperation, awakening from a coma and immediately able to not only walk but even sprint).

Clay F

Her reaction to 28 days later is good.

Milton Reduxed

@Joe, I always assumed Cassie watches movies at the weekend because they're often uploaded on Monday & Tuesday

Joe J

FYI if interested. The channel Totally Whatever will drop "The Omen" (1976) and Halloween II (1981) this week on YT. EDIT: Jen Murray also posted "The Omen" today.

Mike Lemon

Rosiebellmoo just dropped a Cyanide and Happiness reaction.

Joe J

Damn...that's a real channel, way too scary for me. 😆

Byrd N. Hand

I'm loving Nanette and Carolyn. For me, they're definitely giving Cassie and Carly a run for their money as best sister reactors on YT. 🤐 It helps that they've chosen to focus their channel predominanty on '70s, '80s, and '90s movies. Still hoping their "Psycho" and "Right Stuff" reactions eventually make it to YT... 🤞

John A

I forgot her love of Keanu. You guys should get her to watch Hardball, would make for a great reaction

John A

She's not watching the sequels, hoss

John A

People seem to love Train to Busan, didn't do it for me at all though 🤷

John A

These dorks keep letting her think The Exorcist is too scary for her, she'd never watch CH. Which is ok because it's not a good movie anyway, but still

Rene G.

Yeah well she saw scream 2. There’s possibility she will do sequels

David Freese

BsG and Walking Dead would bring in numbers but Cassie probably would avoid TWD. I've seen both series do well on much smaller channels.

Clay F

I like Nanette and Carolyn ok, but haven't been able to get into them, or really any reactors except for Cassie. I am picky what I want. I like LM Reactions (Lola and Milena) -- they recently completed Sopranos, now reacting to Mad Men and Andor. I watch Jen Murray current reactions to DS9. Watch Hold Down A (Ames) current reactions to TNG and AFI Top 100.

David

chitty chitty bang bang harry potter and the goblet of fire

Rene G.

correction: She said, "I kinda watch the 2nd one!" AFTER watching final destination.

Rene G.

HAHHAHAHA I was totally laughing at her reaction scenes to Stifler being cut off literally in the train tracks plus the bus runover that girl. And yes there's 6 final desintations and since you said you wanna watch part 2, GO FOR IT!! GO ALL IN UNTIL THE 6TH ONE it's gonna be a wild ride, Cassie.
