Just re-watched Stake Land (2011). Man, that was pretty good! I watched it back in the day, but I don't remember anything about it. (I was probably pissed). Now I can watch Stake Land 2 (which I totally missed).

Yeah, it was fun! One of only 3 I've seen on that list. Tales From The Darkside I've seen a couple of times - cheesy but entertaining. And Silver Bullet I watch every so often, it's a classic.

Remember the film Poltergeist? Ever since I saw that in the 80s I've wondered how many houses have been built on actual cemeteries!

 

Call the Midwife is known for its honest portrayal of the struggles of childbirth in the 1950s.

The BBC sitcom follows the lives of the midwives and nuns at Nonnatus House in London’s East End which is based on the book written by Heidi Thomas.

The beloved show has drummed up a loyal fanbase over its 12-year reign, which is set to return for series 14 next year.

But what fans may be surprised to know is that many of the cast and crew believe the famous house to be “haunted” in real-life...

 

A house once called Britain’s most haunted is up for sale just four years after going off the market.

Once the site of a medieval prison for witches, former owner Vanessa Mitchell claimed she was physically attacked by spirits, plagued by ghostly figures, pushed over while pregnant and witnessed mysterious blood splatters appearing.

Now the house is on the market for £250,000. Known as ‘The Cage’, a plaque on the side of the house states that local witch Ursula Kemp was housed there before her execution in 1582...

 

Ahead of its Spanish premiere at the 2024 Sitges Film Festival, Shudder have acquired the North American, UK, and Ireland rights to Sasha Rainbow’s satirical body horror Grafted, which will release on the horror streamer on January 24, 2025.

Starring Joyena Sun, Jess Hong, and Jared Turner, Grafted is Rainbow's feature debut, and follows:

"… Chinese scholarship student Wei, who travels to New Zealand to study medical research at a prestigious university. Shy, introverted, and hiding a genetic facial birthmark, Wei is shunned by her social butterfly cousin Angela and her glamorous friends. Determined to change her fate, Wei immerses herself in her late father's research, working on a revolutionary skin grafting procedure that could cure her deformity. As her experiments take a dark turn, she becomes more dangerous and unhinged, willing to eliminate anyone who threatens her secret"...

 

In just a couple of hours, VAMPIRE ZOMBIES…FROM SPACE! will make its world premiere at Eerie Horror Fest, and we are excited to exclusively share the teaser trailer with Daily Dead readers. This throwback horror comedy pays tribute to genre cult classics, with a concept that could easily sit next to an Ed Wood film. Following tonight's premiere the movie has lined up additional screenings at film festivals around the world and we have all the details...

 

Rescue teams are searching for survivors after flash floods and landslides hit parts of Bosnia, killing at least 16 people and injuring dozens more.

Construction machines worked to remove piles of rocks and debris covering the central town of Jablanica after the rainstorm early on Friday.

Huge volumes of rain fell in the area around Jablanica and nearby Konjic, causing sudden flooding that inundated people’s homes as they were sleeping...

... Human-caused climate change increases the intensity of rainfall because warm air holds more moisture. This summer, the Balkans were also hit by long-lasting record temperatures, causing a drought. Scientists said the dried-out land had hampered the absorption of flood waters.

Flooding was also reported in Croatia and Montenegro in the previous days but caused less damage and no fatalities.

 

Human remains have been found under the patio of a sheltered housing site.

Hertfordshire Police was called to St Mary's House, Hemel Hempstead, on Thursday after the remains were discovered by builders digging up the patio.

The force said officers were making inquiries as to why the remains, which they said were "very old", were at the site.

 

It’s 1933. The Oklahoma Panhandle is ravaged by dust storms and droughts so insidious that its occupants are forced to shelter inside, leaving them alone with nothing but a steady, seeping film of particulate matter and their thoughts.

This tension defines the crux of “Hold Your Breath,” a psychological thriller, and the feature debut from Karrie Crouse and Will Joines. Helmed by a lead performance from the reigning scream queen and "American Horror Story" alumn, Sarah Paulson, the film, which premieres on Hulu on October 3, is perfectly positioned to offer a novel take on gothic horror, down to its muted palette and stifling, isolated atmosphere...

 

Say this for The Platform 2: it gets right to it. Without so much of a recap of its predecessor – a sci-fi horror parable that became a Netflix hit a few years back – characters are debating philosophies of law and economics inside of 10 minutes. By the 40-minute mark, a major character has already committed self-immolation. It’s remarkably fast-paced for a movie set in a series of unadorned rooms that make up an enormous vertical prison...

Horror films that scared me as a kid/teenager: A Nightmare On Elm Street, Jaws, Poltergeist, The Shining. Films that scared me as a 20-something: Event Horizon. (I rewatched Event Horizon a few years ago and it wasn't half as scary as I remember it though!).

 

Since it's the beginning of October, I thought it would be helpful to share what people believe to be some of the scariest movies ever created, just in case you're looking to have a frightful night in this month...

 

Kate Siegel is happy to get very real about extraterrestrial life very quickly. When asked if she believes in aliens, she offers a specific and chilling response.

“I’m a huge sci-fi reader…Ray Bradbury is one of my favorite authors of all time,” she says. “In the world right now there’s a lot of discourse about aliens being real. The needle is turning towards, ‘Yes, aliens exist.’ It’s a matter of when and where we will contact them, and not if they exist. I imagine that aliens are here on this planet and we’ll end up realizing it’s something obvious, like an octopus or a fungi structure is actually an alien that had been here forever. I think the most terrifying realization would be that they were under our noses all the time.”

This analysis makes Siegel the perfect contributor to “V/H/S/Beyond,” the seventh chapter in the horror anthology series, and the first solely devoted to sci-fi tales...

 

What started out as a woman thinking her house was haunted has now sparked a police investigation.

Katie Santry from Columbus, Ohio, took to TikTok earlier this week when she noticed her home office, including her laptop screen, was wrecked. Later, while attempting to put up a fence in her backyard, she and her boyfriend Brandon found a rolled-up carpet buried in the ground. Now, her videos have received millions of views on TikTok, as both Santry and the internet try to decipher her mysterious findings.

“Is there a dead body in that rug? Or is it the ghost of the rug’s past?” she questioned in one of her videos, adding: “My next-door neighbor also died in her house the day we bought this house last October.”

“That house started getting boarded up the same day this happened. So it was just a series of weird, coincidental events that, with a creative mind, could be construed as ghostly.”

Santry had enlisted help to dig up the rug in her backyard, but she later realized it was too long and received comments from TikTokers encouraging her to call law enforcement.

When the Columbus Police Department arrived at her home, they looked at the area and decided it was worth calling in an excavator to dig up the rug. However, after notifying the chief of police, it was decided that the officers could not deploy resources. It would be up to Santry to dig up the carpet herself and call them back if anything was found...

Is Silver Bullet an unheard of movie?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I loved the old forums, and couldn't quite see the point of Facebook when it came out. I thought it was just for self-obsessed 'models' and wannabe 'celebs' when I first heard about it! I joined it eventually of course, as all my friends did and I wanted to see what it was all about. Over the years I've had a love/hate thing with FB and only check in a couple of times a week now.

I liked Reddit, it reminded me of the old forums. I like Lemmy more though. It's still got that feeling I remember back in the old forum days before everyone and his dog got online on their phones and things seemed to go downhill.

Not lazy, I just don't see the point in posting a list. I thought it was an interesting article and the discussion about the individual films are worth reading.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I'd never heard of it until yesterday!

Anyone seen it? Worth a watch?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Just watched it. Enjoyable. I won't spoil the plot. One of those films that make you think.

Caveat: My standards are low. I love a lot of horror films that others eschew.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Just watched the trailer and it looks like it might be a bit corny! Added it to my Watch List anyway. Might give it a go later tonight.
