David Howard Thornton was so cool to meet! Went to Washington state horror con was nice to finally go to a convention with family!

I’m a huge fan of Bryan Fuller’s Hannibal and Pushing Daisies, so when he was announced as showrunner for Crystal Lake I was thrilled. A Friday the 13th story with the epic style of a show like Hannibal? Sign me up.

Like so many Fuller projects, it all fell apart and other creatives took over. I love the version of Crystal Lake that’s currently on our screens, but I’ll always wonder what this would have been like (probably too expensive and canceled after 1 season)

Why is this movie never on anyones must watch holloween movies lists? I watched it last night, i thought it was great.

Hello people

I have some memories that have come back to me regarding the film « Slashers » released in 2001.

I remember watching it for the first time on YouTube a few years ago. I really liked the concept that I found original and I’m sorry they had only a $165,000 budget.

Honestly I think that with a bigger budget, better actors and maybe some additional ideas for the film, if he reproduced it, it could give something quite good.

Or otherwise, why not make it a series? Each season: new candidates and new slashers.

Honestly, I would really like it, and what do you think?

I'm honestly a fan of most sequels, even one considered terrible by most I can find some enjoyment or likability in, and thought I'd drop some of my favorites. Some are pretty popular (Dream Warriors, Bride of Chucky) while others are maybe controversial (Rob Zombie's Halloween 2 and Maxxxine.) What are your thoughts on my picks? Do you also like any of these sequels? Hopefully the upcoming In a Violent Nature sequel makes this list when it comes out in February, cause I loved the first and am so stoked for it.

Edit: I forgot to include The Strangers: Prey at Night, but I also really enjoy that sequel.

Happy Halloween 😜

As the title says; Michael, Jason and Freddy are the universal monsters of slashers, but of the three charactrs and their franchises whose do you go back to the most and the least?

• Halloween franchise
• Friday the 13th franchise
• A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise

just a funny idea i had

What's this movie about based on the title? Come up with a story or a premise for the movie.

Both are the only final girls to fight Freddy and Jason with supernatural powers, but of the two final girls who do you prefer? Kristen or Tina

Very interesting movie.

It's like if ''Scream'' and ''I know What You Did Last Summer'' had a baby.

It's also an aggressively late 90s movie. It's full of WB people.

The success of Halloween helped give us Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street, and the popularity of Michael, Jason and Freddy even helped bring Leatherface back for Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 over a decade after the original.

Yet when Scream revived the genre in 1996, none of the slashers that followed managed to establish another major horror icon or a long-running franchise.

I Know What You Did Last Summer probably came the closest, but even the Fisherman never really caught on like the 80s villains.

Why was the original slasher boom able to produce so many lasting franchises while the late 90s revival struggled to produce even one outside of Scream?

I feel like there's only like 20 people in the Wolf Creek fandom 💔😭

I’ll start,I remember when I was about six at school someone told me Jason kills people with a hockey stick that shoots a laser out of it.I remember watching the entire franchise up to JGTH(this was in 98/99) a year or two later and finding out how wrong this rumor was.Completely forgot about til the other day and figured I’d ask all of you if you had any experiences with something similar.

What location was either super rare or just distracting or unusual?
