In Praise of Shadows

It’s really good! It is long and some episodes are a hard sit but for the most part it’s consistently quite fun

I haven’t started it yet but I hope to soon

Same! I love when they get weird with it like that

I’ve started rewatching some of The X-Files and it really is amazing that even a bad episode of this is exponentially better than almost anything from the streaming era.

New video!

Ed Gein and the Precursor to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

I watched History of the Occult tonight without really knowing anything about it going in and thought it was great. Actually quite scary and well done. It’s a little funny watching a movie really succeed at what Late Night With the Devil was trying to do.

These two projects got a little too complicated and are being moved to January to make sure that they are done in the style that they deserve. There will be a different main video next week though.

New Darksides video!

Terror on the Frontier: The Folk Horror of Eyes of Fire

I’ve had a problem with this script I’ve been working on, but now I’m feeling good about it. As a result of this though there’s going to be two main videos this month. Hopefully a week apart from each other, not a part one and part two situation but still related to each other.

Got to this boss in Silent Hill F and the game is really clicking for me now. I don’t agree with everything it’s doing, but I’m really enjoying watching it come into its own and I’m liking it way more than the 2 remake as of now.

I think so too. I’ve never really known much about the character but the art style alone has really been intriguing me to look into it. I love the look of that book so much from what I’ve seen.

I grabbed that also, I’m very excited for it just based on the premise of what I know about it

I’ll check those out as well!

Now reading this. I’ve been really excited to check it out based on how folks talk about it.

Yeah I’d definitely agree, even with F doing a setting change it still feels way too connected to what came before

lmao yeah I am resisting it, also was not expecting that kind of heated response to that section of the video

Yeah the combat is the worst part of the game so far. It doesn’t feel tense or scary because she is so competent in combat situations. I think even just tweaking the animations to make her a lot less sure in her actions could do a lot of good, the animation work in the cutscenes are much better imo

That’s fair! I think I just weirdly associate them with the older looks and sounds of the series. I think RE was smart to do what they did with 7 to expand what RE could be. These feel so much like the old ones that it’s a little strange for me at times, definitely still having a good time though

Started playing Silent Hill F, and I genuinely do like it, but I’m having the same issues I had last year with the 2 remake where it just makes me feel like I’d rather be playing the old ones. Strange issue with this series that I don’t ever feel with new Resident Evils.

That’s fair! I like that it’s unique but does make it hard for me to figure out the order of when things are happening. I enjoy it as a novelty but generally enjoy the standard anthology style more myself

Hell yes!!!! My favorite Halloween movie. Had the pleasure of seeing it in theaters this year. Gets better with each watch.

Thank you, that means a ton to me. I knew folks were going to get a little mad about it but I think we are right there, it genuinely is a disturbing trend that’s always been around but has gotten significantly worse in the past decade or so.

Oooooh just in time for Halloweeeeeen!!

I still know SO little about this franchise. Looking forward to watching this!!

WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK!!!!
Just rewatched Halloweentown 2 while carving pumpkins.
