It’s horror movie season in the US and my favorite type is zombies. I also love campy B movies. Watching Dead Snow 2 right now and I think it ranks up there with Shawn of the Dead and Evil Dead 3: Army of Darkness.

What is your top pick for whatever genre?

    Signs (2002) is my favorite horror movie to watch during spooky season. While it was mocked so perfectly in Scary Movie 3, I feel like the atmosphere it creates is still so unnerving. The humor in the movie adds an element of B movie campiness to an otherwise serious movie.

    Cabin in the Woods (2011) disassembles the horror tropes in a hilarious way. Inspired by the Evil Dead movies.

      After I saw Signs the first time, I started carrying a steel mop handle around my apartment and next to my bed at night.

      Aliens really get to me from when I watched X-files as a kid, and this movie did it nicely.

        Aliens fucked me up as a kid. I watched the first half of Independence Day with my parents when I was 7 and I couldn’t sleep for weeks lmao

          Lmao, we have a small pet snake now, and when she curls around my neck sometimes I do a bit where I mime pressing against glass and hoarsely say “Releeeasse meee”

          It gets a laugh.

          Freaking love that movie lol

      Cabin in the Woods is top tier. Everytime I watch it I see something new. It’s a blast to watch with people who have never seen it, and even more fun if they’re going in blind.
