What's your Halloween double bill tonight then?

i drove through the city on my bicycle last night

I know English isn't your first language, and I'm not meaning to be pedantic so keep that in mind, please:
In English, when using the word drive/drove in the context of a operating a wheeled vehicle, it's usually only done for motorized vehicles like cars, motorcycles, etc. unless you're also driving (similar to herding in this context) something else in a particular direction at the same time (like animals, people, or spirits (to keep this Halloween related).
It also makes the sentence shorter and more concise because you can just say "I biked through the city last night"

alternately, if you're wanting to do something like make the mode of transport less of a focus, or keep the reader in suspense until the end (joke), you could say "i road through the city on my bicycle last night" and that way the reader will be wondering whether you were a passenger in or on someone else's vehicle (motorized or not), or if you were operating your own (unmotorized) vehicle - that is, until they get to the word 'bike'.

Beware... THE GRAMMIFIER!

Yyyaldrin I try to avoid anything involving torture, esp if it's based on or similar to something that happened in real life... But anything with a really sadistic feel to it bums me out.

Evil Dead is just completely ridiculous and the gore is so over the top you don't even really feel sickened by it.

You'll never trust a tree again.

Yeah, the Evil Dead franchise is more like comedy horror.
Also, been sampled by a fair amount of artists.
One of the most unlikely: with the "Hello, lover" sample at 0:52 and repeated several times throughout the track

Also, please tell me you're gonna watch Army of Darkness @Corpsey

i just thought you meant the criticism of @yyaldrin's English

 

[Clinamenic]

I can't imagine being too shocked by any media except for maybe real life snuff films at this point

Whoever you are, have you seen The Substance?

 

[kid charlemagne]

took a woman to see texas chainsaw massacre. i think its great, tho a lot of the circles im in laud it as like the craziest batshit scariest, and one of the best films ever, not even just horror. i dont know man, again i think its great, but its an 83 minute movie, and i feel like shit doesnt happen til like 40 min in, and it doesnt get as batshit as they say until the last girl is in the house with them all, the film ends and leaves you pretty on edge, but do people in here feel crazy as others i come across about this film do?

It’s of a time, tiny budget, early video rental breakout hit too

 

[Corpsey]

Not watched it in years and years. I do remember finding it extremely effective, and as I recall it isn't actually that gory?

This is the official dissensus horror thread now I suppose. Good.

hardly at all, plus i think i prefer the 2nd film with dennis hopper

The scariest film I've seen in recent years was Hereditary.

Parts of it are just disturbing, it's more the creepy bits where you see ghosts and stuff that scared the shit out of me. I tend to find ghost story films scarier than horror films, which are more about disgusting gore and sadism I suppose.

Ho Hum

It’s ridiculous plot wise but has a fun sense of torturing its own cast

I watched the Look of Silence this Halloween season, sequel to the Act of Killing

Properly horrifying and scary, you definitely should/should not watch it

 

[yyaldrin]

was the genre of horror as popular as it is now before the advent of film making? let's say in literature or theatre?

I can't possibly answer this but I assume there was a healthy market for penny dreadfuls, ghost stories, etc. pre cinema. Dracula, Frankenstein, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde etc. all precede cinema.

But obviously in today's world I wouldn't be surprised if horror is a lot more popular, especially given that you can get away with showing the most horrific stuff.
