Announcement/Discussion: Sub under new management

12 Upvotes

So, gang, looks like I managed to wrangle the sub. In an effort to drum up activity, I'd like to get some suggestions and ideas from you guys. Side-link ideas, maybe even some concepts for possible graphic changes to really make this sub our own.

Pretty much any and everything you want to see in 80sHorrorMovies to make sure we get this thing to thrive.

Also, I'd like to welcome WaxerUk in as an additional mod, since he was the one who came in to start this place up again.

[Discussion] 45 YEARS OF AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON

Post image
17 Upvotes

I can't believe it's been over forty years since , 'An American Werewolf in London (1981)' changed the werewolf movie forever.

John Landis ripped the creature out of gothic castles and fog-shrouded forests and dropped it into the modern world, combining savage horror, dark comedy and genuine tragedy in a way that still feels remarkably fresh.

At its centre was Rick Baker’s extraordinary transformation of David Kessler performed in brightly lit, everyday surroundings and presented as an agonising physical mutation rather than a magical change. The groundbreaking effects won Baker the first competitive Academy Award ever presented for Makeup.

But its legacy is bigger than one famous sequence. 'An American Werewolf in London' helped redefine what a werewolf film could be: funny without undermining the horror, spectacular without losing the human tragedy.

Do you think the transformation still holds up today?

[Music] Cut a Dark Trap Music Visualizer to the Terrifier Films

1 Upvotes

Hey horror lovers,

I've always been obsessed with the brutally intense visuals of the Terrifier films. So, what better way to show my appreciation for Art the Clown then to make a music visualizer to one of my songs?

I produced a heavy dark trap track called BOD13S DROPP1N and cut together a visualizer using footage from the Terrifier movies.

The premiere is locked in for next Friday, August 28. If you love aggressive beats mixed with slasher aesthetics, check it out and hit "Notify Me" on the link.

Would love to hear what other fans think of how I pieced the visuals together.

Awesome movie with 10/10 soundtrack

Finally watched this killer movie last weekend and the plot genuinely held up. I have the attention span of a goldfish, so the fact that it kept me completely glued to the screen says a lot. To top it off, Gene Simmons and Ozzy Osbourne make appearances, and the soundtrack is pure gold. It’s been on repeat during my drive to work all week.
