I’m rewatching The First Omen and it is as beautiful, horrifying and haunting as the first time round.
That one death…that shit stays with you.

The 4k restoration of The Fog is stunningly gorgeous. Something about classic John Carpenter is just magical. And yes, for the holidays!
I really liked Scream 5 and 6 as they released but yeah have not revisited them and they simply don’t captivate me the way the 4 craven films do
Fucking classic.
I might like Prince of Darkness a BIT'T more nowadays, as it has just held up as scarier, but I love the classic ghost story feel of The Fog.
Remembering the remake and the dark times of horror in the early 2000s, though. Yikes. How did we survive??

But if Pink-eyed Henny breaks my windows while trying to steal a tacky gold cross? I'm suing.
EDIT: Just watched Smile 2 and I can't believe how much better it is than the first one? Hard to believe it was written and directed by the same guy because it was pretty much better in every way.

I adore Scream 5 & 6.
I’m happy that the “I Know” sequel is going to be called I Know What You Did Last Summer, for now. It gets convoluted otherwise. We’ll see if it sticks. Jennifer Love Hewitt shared a promising update, but it’s still not a done deal, which worries me as they’ve been filming for a while now. Have seen some set pictures and the budget looks big. On location, boats, also warehouse sets and loads of big production trailers.

I enjoy Scream 5
and 6 for what they are, but obviously not going to beat Scream 1 and 2. 3 is a lot of fun and having revisited 4, I actually like that now (at the time I really hated it).
(Dewey's death was poorly executed and stupid. He deserved a better end)
No one does cosy horror atmosphere like John Carpenter. I want to live in his movies.
I feel 7 could've been something really special building off 6, but now that's all been ruined.
2 remains unchallenged for the throne. There's no 90s film that pulls together a better, more era-relevant cast, than that, and succeeds.
Scream ended with 4 for me. I watched 5 and 6 once and they were ok I guess but they felt like fan films which is ultimately what they were. They just lacked that special something.
It's also still genuinely funny? Janet Leigh's character is a riot. I have always loved it but when I re-watch it, I'm still pleasantly surprised. John Carpenter is an expert at keeping things in the shadows.
Carpenter has so many bangers. Even Christine, which was something he did as a jobber is so much fun.
His episode of Masters of Horror, Cigarette Burns, is also a rare late-career highlight for him. I hate that The Ward is...irredeemable.
