There isnt a huge stickied post with these so im just adding mine if anybody wants to follow along! Im sorry if all the 31 for 31 posts are annoying but oh well lol.

Personally for mine, i like a bit of everything but also freedom to pick something different sometimes, so i created a giant wheel with 90 categories and spun it 31 times to pick each day. Instead of listing every specific movie, i just went with Franchise name and if you want to watch the original or the remake or any sequel from that series, that works! So for Texas Chainsaw Massacre, you can pick the original, either of the remakes, or TCM 2/3! Whatever floats your boat! (Unless the year is next to the movie, then its that specific film) And for freespots like King Adaptation or 1980s it just needs to be a horror movie from that author or time not just any movie from them so no Running Man or Dirty Dancing lol. But let me know your thoughts and your lists or if youre going to try mine!

Hi all, I'm searching for the name of a movie that I watched sometime btwn 2013 and 2017, it seemed modern at the time. I do not wish to watch it again but it was SUCH a sick, unexpected twist (SA involved).

What I remember is, there is a criminal who is given the opportunity to go back to a house for some reason. Under supervision. I think to help corroborate facts about a murder, or something. I believe we are lead to believe he's been falsely accused.

I believe he is being accompanied by a man and a woman. I believe that the guy tells them a story? That takes up most of the body of the movie.

But then, near the ending (I turned it off after this but it only had 5 minutes left).. It just ABRUPTLY cuts to an explicit SA scene. And we learn our main guy was NOT a sympathetic character, but a horrid person.

It left a pit in my stomach and I still think about that abrupt twist. But I cannot find it. Google throws out Derailed and The Accused, but those aren't it.

Tysm in advance!

"He paid the driver, then turned and stood motionless under a misty streetlamp's glow, staring up at a window of the house like a melancholy traveler frozen in time."

This sentence, paired with the iconic imagery associated with the 1971 film adaptation of this novel will forever be etched into my mind. Any horror fan will be able to tell you exactly why 'the scariest movie ever made' has left such a huge impact, not just for the horror genre, but for film in general.

In my drive to focus on reading, one of the first books I needed to get around was William Peter Blatty's 'The Exorcist'. I am a huge fan of the film, citing it as one of the first horror films that traumatised me in my youth. Picking up the novel I had genuine fear that it would not engage with me the same way as the film did. I was wrong. In fact, reading this novel has reinforced my love for the film instead, a rarity for film adaptations.

It is clear that when William Friedkin adapted the film he worked so closely with Blatty to ensure respect was paid to the novel, from the intense emotions of Chris MacNeil, dealing with the brutal and frightening change of her daughter, the iconic Regan, to the grieving, sceptical Father Karras.

A clear difference from film to book is the in depth understanding of the human psyche, particularly that of children and how they can blame themselves for seperation and broken homes. Not only does this novel really focus on the fear and terror of possession but it continually questions the legitimacy of such events, noting that often demonic possession is a fabricated mindset that the most vulnerable humans can create for themselves.

Father Karras, the loss of his mother and his selfless assistance of the MacNeil family is a highlight of the novel. Getting a far deeper understanding of his history, his faith and his growing scepticism was a joy. A man of the lord that despite his best efforts to explain the unexplainable through psychology, ultimately is the protagonist and person advocating to get Regan help.

The final chapter, much like the film is a emotionally devastating and brutal moment that highlights the ferocity and menacing of Pazuzu, the demon inhibiting Regan's body. The imagery from the film in how the demon treated the child's body is described in far greater and more shocking detail in the novel. Oftentimes, this left me shocked and quite squeamish, so I would recommend being aware of this before setting out on this journey.

Ultimately, William Peter Blatty's 'The Exorcist', is a work of art and a great read for anyone that enjoys a deep and thoughtful look at youth mental health mixed with some of the most shocking horror literature ever put to paper. An experience that I am so grateful to have experienced and would recommend to anyone interested.

5 Stars!

October is almost here! Plenty of threads about our watch list for the month, what about your favorite horror toys?! I'm going with a grail from my childhood! MONSTER FACE! It's like a gruesome Mr. Potato Head. You can add worms, spiders, bolts, eyes, face parts. Plus the jaw and eyes are operated by levers. It's so damn fun and really spurred my love of horror as a kid. What's yours? Mine is still proudly displayed in the dining room!
