I had completely forgot about those shorts you posted. Post the rest of them if you can.
 
@Sion I know you're a fan of music themes. Check this list out Den Of Geek made. I'm salty Zombi isn't in there though. lol.

October is the month to unapologetically gorge on the disturbing and the macabre. A masked killer here, a cycloptic zombie there; it is all in service of getting one’s self truly scared. And yet, what the best of them do is more than chill: They crawl up your spine and dig into your very soul with the sights and sounds of the truly damnable unknown. And the best of them do that with just a simple musical cue.

More than any other genre, horror is very much beholden to a good score. The composer (and sound editors and mixers) knowing when to say boo on the strings or horns is as important as knowing when to be as silent as the grave.

Yet, some films have dared to go further by leaving a truly haunting signifier—something that will linger in your head during the many sleepless nights awakened by the harmonious bumps and dancing shadows that play a chorus in your mind’s eye. These are the rare musical pieces that are just as scary, or moreso, than the images they accompany. These are the 13 Best Horror Movie Themes, compiled below and then listed out as to why.

Stay alive was wack imo...mainly b/c they tried to capitalize off of ol boy from Malcolm in the Middle. Also, they did a disservice to New Orleans
 
So, i decided to go back and watch the Saw films (which im sure will be getting rebooted within the next few years) since they are on Netflix

Watching these movies is very interesting now b/c im trying to piece together the timeline in my head. The thing about that is, if I watch the first one, I try and picture all the stuff that was happening in the background that lead up to Dr. Gordon and Adam's capture. The writing in this series was awesome.

I liked how they continued to refer previous movies to move the narrative along in whatever current one you were watching (i.e. Saw IV has elements dating all they way back to the first Saw)

So far, Saw 2 is the weakest one b/c none of the characters were that compelling, even after they find out what they had in common. The traps/puzzles were also weak af, and i think they made a mistake in casting that Mexican/Latin dude as the roided out hothead. iirc, he was in something else that year, and it seemed like hollywood was trying to make him the next "it" guy, but his acting was just so bad.

the best plot twist has to go to Saw 3 with Saw 1 being a close second.

Im currently on Saw IV with one more to go. I will update this post if my opinion has changed.
 
Those Saw movies are gory as hell. They kinda ran out of steam storywise towards the end. But it just shows how much Jigsaw laid out his plans.

I'll never forget being in the movies seeing the first one and how they theater went crazy when he stood up.

Cary with that saw though man. You didn't need to see the whole thing, his facial expression and the other dude's reaction made that scene work.

The ending of part 2 man. All the cop had to do was sit there and talk to him but from his perspective he thought what was going on was real time. That dude you talking about, I only remember him from Saw 2 and the remake of The Italian Job. I think he did a tv show for Fox if I remember right but it didn't last.

thats what i kinda like about Saw 4. All the black dude had to do was learn to let go and Eric would've lived, but he was so obsessed on trying to save everyone when it wasnt his place to

Also, that was the kinda the moral of the story in Saw 3 where all he had to do was let go of his dead son, and move forward with his wife and remaining child. He was so fixated on it and couldnt see he had much more to live for, and that plot twist at the end...LAWD. Jigsaw was so precise. Even when they showed him pouring the wax on the tape, then at the beginning of 4, you see them cut it out of his stomach.

gon head brah...you got five days left in october

my only issue when watching them is trying to figure out why he chose Adam and Dr. Gordon in the first place?

Maybe b/c Gordon was too busy with his work to focus on his relationship with his wife and daughter, and maybe Adam b/c he was just content with getting by taking pictures of people and shit with no real appreciation for his life...idk

but seeing all the flashbacks with Amanda has me thinking about how Amanda did all that shit in the first one

I always thought the reason for Jigsaw selecting Gordon was because he was the doctor diagnosed him and he was having an affair.

As for Adam, I think he just got caught in the middle of it because of Tapp hiring him to follow Gordon.

I get lost and can't come to a solid conclusion on how Amanda did all of that.
 
The Universal Dracula movies from 1931. I just watched both on the big screen last night and they're just as effectively atmospheric and engaging as I'm sure they were 84 years ago.
 
The Babadook pretty dope, the ending didn't sit with me tho. It Follows, Unfriended, that Chucky reboot/sequel that went straight to DVD those are some good recent horror films

Saw 1 ( i think the only one of the series) is going away from Netflix on the first.
