#dailyscream — Public Fediverse posts

In all seriousness,

I was thinking about my post from earlier.

And I sort of wonder what would happen if we all decided to open our windows at a certain designated time (say, 1 PM local) and simply unleash a blood curdling screech. Would a collective Daily Scream make the world a better place? Would that improve people’s mental health? I don’t know. But it’s ideas like this that I think may be worth trying.

Food for thought, perhaps?

The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: the dread of a future you can’t see. The vibe in 2001’s daring, disturbing #DonnieDarko is one of despair, but its real horror is cultural conformity, and the hypocrisy and the cruelty that enforces it. #Kanopy US, #Shudder UK

The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: sexy scary vampire? hell yes! Anton Yelchin and David Tennant battle Colin Farrell's as-alluring-as-he-is-repellent bloodsucker in 2011's #FrightNight. Startlingly funny and brutal, often at the same time. #Prime US, #DisneyPlus UK

I was all set to make 2000's bone-dry horror satire #ShadowOfTheVampire today's #DailyScream, till I discovered movie ain't streaming anywhere. It's even out of print on physical media in the US (though not in the UK). WTF. That's true horror. Anyway, here's my review from back in the day: https://www.flickfilosopher.com/2001/01/shadow-of-the-vampire-review.html

The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: haunted, and haunting... 2001’s #TheOthers is classy gothic horror, old-fashioned in the best way: no CGI, just mysterious footsteps and movement in the shadows and hushed whispers and slamming doors. On #Prime + #AppleTV US/UK.

The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: coldly elegant postapocalyptic misery. 2017’s #ItComesAtNight, tense with a nameless disquietude, runs the emotional gamut from jittery to hopeless. Enjoy! #Kanopy US, #Prime UK

The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: flesh and blood... so much blood. Julia Ducournau’s shocking, visceral #Raw (2017) casts female desire as ravenously predatory in a way that few films have ever had the audacity to do. Not for the squeamish. Really. #YouTube US/UK

The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: hell is full, 21st-century style. 2004‘s #DawnOfTheDead remains, 20 years later, a watershed cinematic moment for GenX, the first slasher/zombie/splatter horror that felt like a part of the post-9/11 world. #Starz US, #Netflix UK

The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: when we ordinary mortals are the monsters. I’m so in love with the vampires of 2014's #OnlyLoversLeftAlive (Tilda Swinton & Tom Hiddleston), with their lofty idealism, their engagement with history, science, art. #Hulu US, #Mubi UK

The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: is there someone inside you? 50-year-old #TheExorcist leisurely and deliberately builds a tower of fear in a way genre movies no longer have the patience to attempt. #Max US, #BBCiPlayer UK (for 11 more days)

The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: when ghosts of the past still haunt the present. 2019’s #DoctorSleep (The Shining sequel) cements the strange & supernatural as undeniably authentic. No suspension of disbelief needed... and that’s really scary. #Hulu US, #Prime UK

The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: end-of-life nightmare despair in 2002’s #BubbaHoTep, as Bruce Campbell(!)’s nursing-home-resident Elvis Presley (it makes a sick sort of sense) battles an ancient Egyptian mummy. #Prime US; on DVD but not streaming in the UK, alas

The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: gnaw your own arm off, why don’t you? Like James Franco, basically, in 2010’s #127Hours. This is far more distressing to me than any science-fiction body-horror nightmare, because it actually happened. #Prime US, #DisneyPlus UK
