I just watched Feral (2017) and I’m trying to figure out how to even classify it. Would you guys consider this more of a zombie movie or a vampire movie? It’s got the whole infection from bites thing going on, which feels very zombie like but the infected act way more like feral predators than typical zombies. At times it almost felt like a vampire or wild animal hybrid type of thing. I did actually like the movie overall it had a pretty tense atmosphere and some solid moments but man… that ending was kinda sad. Just curious how everyone else sees it. What would you label it as? Because I honestly have no idea

2026 Horror Ranking so far?

Posted by /u/Potential_One1

For me, it's:

  1. 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple
  2. Send Help (if you count it as horror)
  3. Dracula (mostly drama/romance but it's Dracula lol)
  4. Undertone
  5. Hokum
  6. Scream 7
  7. The Mummy
  8. They Will Kill You
  9. Faces of Death
  10. Slanted (not horror imo but technically listed as it)
  11. Psycho Killer

I feel like some people might include Mother Mary. It's not technically listed as horror, but if I was including it, it would be between Undertone and Hokum.

Another budget of picture books! I rarely have a full post worth of stuff to say about a picture book, but also often have a thought or two I want to share, so have decided to continue in the template of the picture book compilation posts I wrote during during Picture Book Advent.

Lentil, written and illustrated by Robert McCloskey. Young Lentil can neither sing nor whistle, but when the brass band can’t play to welcome the town’s leading citizen back home, Lentil saves the day with his harmonica. The instant this leading citizen was mentioned, I pegged him for a bad ’un, but McCloskey was writing in a different era and the guy who keeps giving the town schools and libraries and hospitals is a public-spirited good ’un even if he does name it all after himself.

Mike’s House, by Julia Sauer, illustrated by Don Freeman. Young Robert loves Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel so much that he calls the library “Mike’s house.” Hilarity ensues when Robert gets lost on a snowy day and asks a police man to help him find Mike’s house. Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel was published in 1939, this book was published in 1954, my brother and I loved Mike Mulligan in the late 80s and early 90s, and now my soon-to-be-three-year-old niece loves Mike Mulligan too. Just lovely to see this chain of connection stretching for close to 90 years now.

The Sunday Outing, by Gloria Jean Pinkney, illustrated by Jerry Pinkney. Published later than the other books in this book but set in the same 1930s-1950sish time period. Young Ernestine loves to go to the North Philadelphia train station every Sunday to watch the trains with her Aunt Odessa Powell. (Truly a satisfying name to say.) But she’s never gotten to ride the trains and is afraid she never will, till Aunt Odessa Powell suggests that Ernestine come up with a way to save money so her family can buy her a ticket to go visit her mother’s folks in North Carolina.

Gorgeous evocative detail, as always in Pinkney’s illustrations. Love his skill at capturing the peculiar ways that children sometimes move. Also love the 1930s/40s style of it all. Did worry slightly about Ernestine crossing into Jim Crow territory all on her lonesome in the train, but decided that in Picture Book Land perhaps this would not be a problem.

Playing Possum, written by Edward Eager, illustrated by Paul Galdone. The last of the little-known Edward Eager books that I discovered through Wikipedia. A possum falls into a garbage can; the adults are appalled at the sight of this ugly dying rat, and only the little boy recognizes that it is in fact a possum, and is in fact playing possum. Underwhelming. If you’re going to read one of the lesser-known Eagers, definitely make it Mouse Manor.

This has happened to me a few times. For example, I saw Long Legs when it first streamed and I wasn't impressed. It was mildly interesting but I didn't find it scary and I thought it was overrated. Just this past weekend I decided to watch it again and really pay attention and not be futzing around with my phone. I really enjoyed it this time and found myself spooked at various scenes.

I did the same with Hereditary. Didn't like it on the first watch but I kept thinking about it so I watched it again and enjoyed it so much more. I eventually watched it a third time and caught all kinds of interesting things that I missed the first 2 times.

What is your favorite short horror film on YouTube? I'm just looking to watch some ones I have not heard of.

I have already seen "There Are Monsters" I thought it was pretty solid for its time and the budget.

I'm really open to anything just bored and don't want to rent anything right now.

3weeks4dreamwidth friending meme

[community profile] 3weeks4dreamwidth '26 has a friending meme. If you're not familiar with these, what folks do is: (1) use a provided template to post about themselves, their DW journal, and what kind of DW journals they'd like to interact with, and/or (2) look through the posts and find journals to subscribe to. Some people ask permission and/or issue an invitation in the friending meme thread before subscribing; some don't; there's no prescribed etiquette.

I posted here. I've opened a handful of journals to look at, and also learned an alternate fannish acronym to search on, in case I'd previously missed journals with that as an interest.

This meme's template ends in a "Currently" section that I thought I'd share with you here:
  • Reading: This is my year of re-reading Stout's "Nero Wolfe" mysteries (last year was re-reading Bujold's "World of the Five Gods"), but I just started Girl Waits With Gun (2015) by Amy Stewart, and I recently finished Ramona (1884) by Helen Hunt Jackson. I'm following the Thundarr the Barbarian comic.
  • Watching: Babylon 5 (first time through), Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Daredevil: Born Again, Call the Midwife, Bookish, All Creatures Great and Small, Secrets of the Dead...
  • Playing: I'm about a hundred hours into Skyward Sword, with nothing left to do but face the endgame (or continue beating my head against the boss rush and minigames, which I do not enjoy; I play for the story and sidequests, first of all, then for the exploration, then puzzles, and last of all for boss fights, never for minigames or rushes). Up next, I'm deciding between Tears of the Kingdom and The Minish Cap... unless enough time has passed to play Echoes of Wisdom again already?
  • Looking forward to: Many of the movies coming to the big screen later this year! Fingers crossed. (Be good, be good, be good.) The Odyssey, Supergirl, Spider-man: Brand New Day, Avengers: Doomsday, The Death of Robin Hood, Masters of the Universe, The Legend of Aang...

Help to find movie

I’m trying to identify a horror movie I saw as a kid that really triggered me back then, but I only remember a few fragments

There was a scene where a guy asks a girl something like:

“Where are you staying?”

She says: “On the hill.”

And he replies: “Seriously? Where the zombies hang out?”

She’s confused and says something like: “What zombies?”

Later a group of friends gets attacked by these zombie-like people. I remember one girl getting dragged into a house and then there was a scene where they have her on a table and are eating her.

The creatures weren’t typical zombies (at least how I remember them). I think they had white pale skin and total black eyes

Not 100% sure all details are accurate since it’s from childhood memory.

Does anyone know what movie this could be? It’s been stuck in my head for years.

I was having this thought that I'd like to run past you guys.

Musing why it is that we like horror literature or films, I was wondering if it is because many of us probably live in relatively stable surroundings and therefore horror is one of many ways to experience something unusual.
But that in turn would suggest that people living in places where real-life horror is not unheard of or even common (e.g. war-torn areas) should not find horror-themed escapism as appealing as other folks.
Does that make sense?
Obviously, I'm generalizing and each person is different but I'm thinking about general trends.

What are your opinions?
I'd especially be interested to hear from people who experience (or have experienced) life in such places and (sadly) don't have to speculate but can provide a first-hand feedback.

ETA: After reading the 20 or so answers given so far, it looks like my assumption was just plain wrong!
I should perhaps add that I have worked with MSF in places you don't usually go for holiday (Haiti, DRC, CAR, South Sudan and others) but I never asked my local colleagues this question. Mostly, to be completely honest, because I didn't think of it at that time, but when the idea occurred to me I didn't want to risk re-traumatize people; basically, I didn't want to be an asshole. (I was doing administrative work in those projects, finance and HR, and don't have a medical or psychological background.)
But after reading those answers, I wonder whether some of my colleagues didn't perhaps read horror for similar reasons given here because in some of those places there certainly is even real-life horror and misery to cope with.

Horror films typically take place in a single location.

Do you think a slasher film where the villain (or villains) traveled from place to place across the US and stalked and killed people would work or is a single location best?

Would it matter if it was an original film with no previous entries or a franchise entry where the villain has already been established in previous films?

Hello!

Does anyone know a film where there is a group of friends who go on a some kind of a trip (with a van or a mini bus if I remember correctly), don't remember what the trip is about but one girl has a huge, professional type film camera with them so I'm assuming some sort of documentary or something. Don't remember much more, but ofc they start to die on after another and at the end there is sort of a huge plot twist when it's revealed that the two girls killed everyone because they wanted to make a snuff film or something.

The cover/poster of the film has like a broken videocamera lying on a ground with a broken lens.

Thank you in advance if someone recognizes it, been looking for it for ages!
