MfoM is like Groundhog Day meets The X Files, while Happy Death Day is more like Groundhog Day meets Scream. (Actually, less like Scream than Happy Birthday to Me, but nobody’s seen that one.)

Fedor Il’in’s The Valley of New Life (1928) http://histscifi.com/essays/krementsov/valley

If you thought Quora’s anime tag was bad, wait until you see their The Beatles tag. If you think that’s bad, wait until you get on the automatic recommendation list for answering questions in ‘acronyms’.

I’d like to play a horror game that’s lit like Suspiria is during its most extreme moments: backgrounds & characters in bright monochrome washes, a cypher of harsh shadows, as though lit by single-point neon.

COOKING TIP: if you are frying literally anything, fry it in a lot of butter and then add like a sip of beer (preferably dark beer, like a tripel or a double-ipa). It makes the flavor a lot more complex

If you live in Mad Max: The Road Warrior, bitcoin makes a lot of sense. If you live in Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, it makes a lot less sense. If you live in Fury Road, it makes no sense at all.

Strongly recommend ‘Horror Noire’ for folks who are interested in the history of horror on film. It filled in some big gaps in the timeline for me. It’s available on Shudder, which is also streaming some flicks covered.

Masters of Science Fiction is actually pretty good if you can get over the extremely post-9/11 vibe, the use of the Star Trek Voyager font everywhere, & the ‘hosting’ being somebody using the Hawking synth to speak a line after every episode
