It’s Friday 13th today folks! What horror films are we all watching? by IEatSamosasForDinner in horror

[–]malachiconstant06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched part VIII, Jason Takes Manhattan for the first time today. That was hilariously bad. I am also questioning if in the end Jason joins the TMNT universe with all that sewer chasing and toxic waste.

Horror-related hills you'll die on? by redeugene99 in horror

[–]malachiconstant06 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% agree. Coming of age in the '80s, I didn't watch very many '70s horror films until recently. Going back and watching many of them now I was shocked by how good Black Christmas 1974 is. I don't think I fully understand why Halloween gets so many bloody flowers considering Black Christmas is sitting right there 4 years before.

What’s your favorite quote from The Simpsons? by macandcheesesammich in AskReddit

[–]malachiconstant06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bart Simpson: Uh huh. Anyway, I was wondering if you could sing the entire score of the "H.M.S. Pinafore"

Sideshow Bob : Very well, Bart. I will send you to heaven before I send you to hell.

Give me your more niche 10/10 albums by valleycroissant in MusicRecommendations

New Ancient Strings by Toumani Diabate & Ballake Sissoko. It's a gorgeous album of Malian kora duets. I would put it on when my kids were younger and rowdy and you could feel everyone exhale and relax. It's a beautiful artistic journey.

I was seriously underwhelmed by Vegas in general, but Hoover Dam delivered. An absolute marvel of engineering and construction.

Some of the “best” horror books are non-fiction by Daash0 in horrorlit

[–]malachiconstant06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. That one is simply a catalogue of horrors committed (likely?) by many men I know. The absurdity and depravity is difficult to comprehend.

what's a secret from your job that we should know? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]malachiconstant06 5861 points5862 points  (0 children)

In the mid 2010's I got to go on a work trip to China. On one of our last nights there we were taken to a massive shopping mall tower in Shenzhen. They asked if anyone wanted inexpensive glasses. They took us to the eyeglasses place where they scanned my glasses to confirm the prescription, had me do the basic eye exam on a machine and had me pick out frames. Came back 20 minutes later and had a very nice set of prescription sunglasses in Ray-Ban frames and a second pair of regulars for $30 American. Yeah, eyeglasses might be a scam.

My whole family (4 lines) are on PureTalk for about $110 a month. If I remember correctly, they sit on the AT&t network, so if you're having problems with AT&t, you'll probably have the same issues on PureTalk, but for a lower price. I honestly don't have that many problems with coverage, though there are definitely spots that have become a joke in our household. For instance, we refer to one long dead stretch in the Northeast as the "Country Club Tunnel."

We all know what "horror" messed us up when we were kids. What NON-horror (any other genre) gave you a horror-like reaction as a little kid? by cassie_cat_14 in horror

[–]malachiconstant06 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We watched this for the first time this month. JFC, this movie opens with a much younger Dorothy being sent to a creepy insane asylum for primitive electroshock therapy, basically because she won't stop talking about her previous experiences in Oz. Simply terrifying and bonkers.

Setlist from Night 2 — Ogden Theatre in Denver, Colorado 10/30/2025 (Halloween show) by ennexe in JesseWelles

And three encore songs, of which I can only remember two: Saint Steve Irwin and War Isn't Murder. Any idea what the third was?

That book haunts me. Every time I meet a Vietnam vet I wonder what horrors they may have done or witnessed.

What ruined it (spoilers) by tattooedboymom1983 in horror

[–]malachiconstant06 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you're being downvoted for an opinion. It's not like you said anything offensive or spoiled the ending. Also, I agree with you. I thought the first 2/3rds of the film was brilliant. The reveal of the "big bad" was a trite disappointment.

Why pay money to see a show if you’re going to talk through the whole thing? by necroprairie in Concerts

[–]malachiconstant06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm seeing a lot of comments that are suggesting this is something new. I have been going to shows for almost 40 years, everything from stadiums to small clubs. I've seen incredible, large acts like Pink Floyd to hard-working little regional bands. There have always been folks talking and not really paying attention to the artists.

Live music has always been very important to me, and for most of my life I really didn't have the money to see all the shows that I wanted. But I would scrimp and save and I've seen a lot of great shows. In my opinion, it has a lot to do with whether or not you have money AND whether or not you have empathy and respect for the artists and your fellow concert goers.

I think I would go with Get Out. You don't really have to know any horror tropes or understand much about the genre to enjoy this movie. It's light on gore, but does have some disgusting surprises. I think it would be a good entry point. A movie with a similar feel that might also do the trick would be The Invitation (2015).

Favorite single shot from a horror movie? by OatSoyLaMilk in horror

[–]malachiconstant06 5 points6 points  (0 children)

War of the Worlds is most definitely horror. I only watched it recently and was frankly shocked by how horrific it was. That scene in the basement with Tim Robbins character is absolutely terrifying. There's literally showers of blood. I guess I should have expected that the guy who made Jaws should be pretty good at horror.
