My wife gets it and describes it as she cannot move-anything but her eyes- and can hear her voice screaming, trying to wake me next to her, and I never react- and she'll be crying and screaming and trying to move anything for what feels like hours, with a sense of something awful in the room, and loud, ear-splitting…

Hey, I have some advice for you. Why can't you just be happy? Hmm? Try not to worry so much! Things ain't so bad! Just, like, you know, think about GOOD stuff! See, there's nothing wrong with you!

The first adult film I ever saw was when I was about 8, at a friends house, and his creepy older brother put on a German animal movie. I recall an eel- I think an eel, maybe a snake- being used in a horrific way on a woman. I have never been able to watch bestiality films comfortably since. That's how fking horrifying…

I found myself doing that on my first read one night- the only time in my life I ever had to stop reading something late at night because I was just so fucking unnerved. I forget what part it was- but I actually sat up, said NOPE, turned ON my lights, and laid in bed trying to fall asleep for a good hour at 3 am.

MARTYRS surprised me in that it turned so suddenly into a different movie, it kind of kept me intrigued- and i'm not a torture porn guy, either. SNOWTOWN MURDERS- a great little Aussie crime film- had one of the most excruciating, hard-to-watch scenes I've ever seen, in which the sociopath killer is slowly choking to…

Dot and the Fucking Kangaroo. Thank you- a piece of my childhood I've struggled to recall.

I watched THE EXORCIST at about 8 yrs old on videotape. It terrified the shit out of me, especially after I'd gone to the basement and was playing Nintendo and felt something/someone walking down the stairs behind me (I thought at first it was my older sister) and froze up- hair on back of my neck standing- as I…

Yeah, I let my 9-going-on-10 year old daughter watch something terribly scary recently- Dawn of the Dead, maybe, the original- I can't recall- that I knew she was unprepared for, but told myself, "I saw this at her age, and it turned me into a zombie-loving-horror-fanatic-and-writer, so maybe I'm sort of soft-serving…

THE NIGHTMARE got me the other night. I got to the point where the guy describes his nightmare- in which a black demon w/ red eyes is sitting on his chest, pinning him down, whispering "You're gonna die, you're gonna die" etc, and at the same time, his friend- sleeping next to him in bed- wakes up screaming, to tell…

I fell asleep w/ the tv on (I worked a 15 hr day and had about 5 hours max of sleep ahead of me before today's 16 hr day) and woke up at like, 2 am to the game still on and my wife (not a huge baseball fan) watching on the couch. I wanted to get up to see what was going on but laid in bed listening instead, must have…

ugh, i know. I was squirming in my chair imagining it as it went down, and when that hot steaming asphalt landed…imagine those last few seconds/minutes of asphyxiating on molten rock. (shudders, shakes, cries, vomits, presses "replay" on FARGO)

Huzzah to you, fancy talking Viking. I do love your language.
My wife and I went something like nearly 2 yrs without congress after my last girl was born. We've only recently reconvened and I gots to say, its still far and few between. At nearly 40 yrs old, I've come to a place where I accept the rarity of such…

Hey, did you guys hear? There's some talk from HBO "execs" that the money was more desirable going to GOT to improve and actually lengthen some of their new episodes! They may even be doing "super-sized" episodes next season! Holy shit George RR Martin etc etc

"Thanks for trolling"
I'm not trolling
"Yeah, a troll would say that"
Hmmm, this sounds like a pretty difficult conversation for Eliza. I don't think its fair to accuse her of something like that (a troll probably wouldn't be on here often, which I recall Eliza being, nor engage for so long in this discussion) and then…

was it the word "preconceived" that got you all hot and bothered? It's really not a big word. Or a hard one. Was it "problematic"? It couldn't be that. "Notions"? I can see how "notions" might have thrown you off. Because it sounds like "motions" but isn't the same word, I get it. It's tough, sometimes, using a 5th or…

PBA Dude Pat Lynch is a buffoon who refuses to ever see things w/ a neutral lens. He absolutely positively fails to ever acknowledge any possibility of any mistakes, poor judgement, bad practice, brutality, incompetence, or utter bullshit on the side of the police. I mean, I get that its his job, but doesn't he do a…

THE GUEST?
YOU're NEXT>
SESSION 9?
FRAILTY>
DEVILS REJECTS
THE CONJURING (didn't AV CLub give this like an A review?)
PONTYPOOL for CHRISTS SAKE!
(EDIT: I realize THE GUEST is more thriller. Maybe so is YOU'RE NEXT. But…maybe not.)

Wasn't AUDITION released in 1999???

I fucking LOVED HOUSE OF LEAVES. I have this dream that one day I'll be powerful enough in Hollywood to get the rights to make a limited TV series of it (on HBO say, or Netflix) and do like a 13 episode mindfuck of that book, in different styles (the haunted house story as traditional horror show, the documentary…

Hey, dude. Can you tell us/me what kind of work you've done? Because you sound reputable. Curious as to some of your credits?
