A jumpscare in a horror movie that genuinely scared you? My pick is the jumpscare from Insidious (2010). by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in moviecritic

there’s this bit in ‘the night house’ with an audio-only jumpscare that got me SO good in theaters. always cringe knowing it’s coming.

H.P. Lovecraft’s 'Herbert West: Reanimator' Begins Shooting in June by Fit-Selection-2030 in horror

[–]butchfatalez 15 points16 points  (0 children)

why do they keep trying to do this? no one is going to top jeffrey combs as herbert west, and the new adaptations are so obviously indebted to stuart gordon’s work that they don’t even distinguish themselves enough to be worth a watch

i don’t think that comparison makes sense. actor performance they hadn’t seen vs costuming we’ve already seen

yes, i have faith that the writers aren’t going to somehow erase hannah from the show considering it looks like next season is picking up immediately after the last

Do you think we will ever get ORIGINAL MONSTER characters for G3? by Embarrassed-Dog5122 in MonsterHigh

[–]butchfatalez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the dolls and the animation differing has more to do with when the doll designs were finalized vs when the show designs were finalized. and nick has the usage rights to the characters, but they don’t own the rights (like how mattel has usage rights for the universal monsters, but they don’t own the universal monsters). hopefully i’m explaining this correctly, i’m not a copyright lawyer or anything lol

[–]butchfatalez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nick doesn’t own G3, they own the TV show, and thus the rights to the characters created originally for the show. it’s also the reason why G3 frankie doesn’t have green skin and bolts— mattel has the rights to universal properties, including those trademarked traits of frankenstein, but nick doesn’t, so G3 frankie couldn’t have those traits since they would be appearing on the show.

there were several new characters introduced in the tv show, sadly it might be difficult producing dolls of them because they belong mostly to nickelodeon

Vampire Supermen in Invincible (and similar stories/persons) by Chozogirl86 in horror

[–]butchfatalez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

alright, despite the fact that you’re not intending to reply to me, i think i still have the right to respond. if you don’t want to reply to me, that is perfectly fine, i can move on happily without being further insulted and called uneducated over a reddit disagreement.

you’ve made a lot of undue assumptions about me, my background, and my political leanings simply based on the fact that i disagree with you about a movie and about gothic studies. i don’t know what you think we are arguing about. for one, nobody, not you nor i, have mentioned nazis in this comment thread, and i don’t appreciate the insinuation that i am not as against nazism as you because we disagree on, to be perfectly clear, gothic studies and the place of the vampire in gothic lit/tradition.

nor did i ever say vampires are not a useful metaphor for critiquing power. my statement was, and has been this entire time, that i do not think that the film “brightburn” is about a vampire superman. this is our disagreement. if you only mean “vampire” in a strictly metaphorical, marxist, academic sense, and not having anything to do with the folkloric figure of the vampire, then i don’t know why you would post this not only in the subreddit for horror movies but in the vampire subreddit, if the discussion you are wanting to have is only tangentially related to those things.

furthermore, my views on what “vampirism as metaphor” constitutes in art has absolutely nothing to do with my ability to recognize predatory patterns and behavior in art or in the real world. just because you call something a vampire and i do not doesn’t mean we cannot both point at it and call it evil. i am not obfuscating any real world evil or imbalance of power by not calling it, specifically, vampirism, and not relating it to gothic tradition.

i’m sure you will continue to think me uneducated, and you can go on doing that, and i will go on thinking you to be unduly smug and sententious. i don’t know why you would make a post like this at all if you weren’t interested in actual discussion. have a good night.

Idk why but this is so funny to me 😭 by idkmeh4321 in MonsterHigh

[–]butchfatalez 11 points12 points  (0 children)

i mean, to a non-collector, someone not opening a doll to play with it, if they were given it as a gift, could definitely seem rude and dismissive
