Hey try Dmt and tell us your experience

[@Louise-wk5yf]

Movies like Fall just feeds our curiosity and what ifs.

[@erikdaniels0n]

We can only hope Flanagan’s Edgar Allan Poe series will be a return to form for him

[@WoahLookAtThatFreak]

This was still pretty good, but remember this wasn't just a Mike Flanagan project. Out of his previous 4 horror series, this is the first of his to have a co-creator, so maybe that's why it feels a bit disjointed to some .

[@ariane1159]

I have such high hopes for that one

[@MadailinBurnhope]

he doesn't need a return to form

[@kaygee6275]

I absolutely hated the first season of Stranger Things, so I dropped it, but this year I kept hearing really good things about the new season, so I watched it and loved it. I went back to watch previous seasons, I still don’t like the first season though. I think I just care more about the characters than the story, honestly.

[@bombeproductions4216]

I’m legit so scared at how this year went by😭 At least this year DEVOURED in the horror genre

[@erikdaniels0n]

This has been SUCH a good year for horror, especially smaller/indie horror. I think A24 definitely dominated the game this year with movies like X and Pearl

[@bombeproductions4216]

@@erikdaniels0n IKRR OMGG

[@connyslayer4661]

@@erikdaniels0n Agreed, this has been such a great year for Horror overall. Indie Horror has been doing absolutely well and bringing great work. A24 definitely dominated and got me interested into alot of their work. i have been exploring A24 movies alot lately and i have been loving them. I wish everyone the best this Year.

[@mariealayne3056]

I did like The Midnight Club mostly but Hill House and Midnight Mass are so much better. I think I would have liked Midnight Club more if I had known going into it that it's meant to be a multi season show. I'm excited for Fall of the House of Usher.

[@ali-rw3mg]

I agree I thought it was going to be a one off again and was very confused when it ended on a cliff hanger. I feel like the stories are the least interesting part of the show and I want more of the real story. Hill House and Midnight Mass are my faves too

[@emperorcupcake]

I never liked the idea of DNFing movies and books until I started doing it, and realised how much more stuff I could watch that I actually enjoy

[@samanthanorton4538]

Same. I just started doing it the past couple of years and realized how much more reading and watching I was getting done when I wasn't having to force myself to finish something else first. It was freeing

[@capucine9791]

yesss, especially with books I find that what always puts me in a reading slump is forcing myself through a book I’m not enjoying

[@yennefer440]

Life's to short to waste your time

[@RockyLaRock]

I started to watch Guillermo Del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities, and so far it has not disappointed me... I'm extremely finicky about my horror movies and shows (I hardly ever get scared with anything), but Del Toro's show is very good and recommendable for those who like anthology horror shows. Happy Samhain!!! 🎃

[@gracemcloughlin8737]

Just finsihed it! It's SO good! Guillermo Del Toro knocked it out of the park (in my opinion anyways!)

[@freelike_abird]

yess 100% agree!! the autopsy was easily one of the best things I've watched in a while

[@yennefer440]

I really it too. Then again I love cosmic type horror.

[@AVspectre]

@@freelike_abird That one in particular had me pulled in. :)

[@lina01016]

I thought Deadstream was leagues above Dashcam! Loved the evil dead vibes. It was hilarious and a great time.

[@mariem92]

'Fall' was a great surprise for me. It got me very very anxious!

[@INeverMetaphorIDidntLike]

totally with you on the midnight club. we finished it but we were truly bored the whole way through. we thought it was badly written, overly sappy, and most of the kids were pretty unlikeable. so sad, because we're huge flanagan fans :/

[@brockgangell5759]

Agreed with

[@yennefer440]

Yeah it was really disappointing

[@toxicsugarart2103]

Yeah the midnight club felt more like a YA type of series (which tracks because the books it’s based on are YA I’m pretty sure), I watched it with my 17 year old brother and really enjoyed talking about it with him, it made us both super emotional together, but if I had put it on just for myself to be scared I can see it letting me down. Especially given mr flanagan’s previous track record of absolute bangers. I also got my bro to watch midnight mass and hill house, and my mom who absolutely hates horror got super into hill house lol.

[@andiee4163]

I think adults forget the midnight club is in the young adult genre. I thought it was beautiful like Hill House from a story perspective, I thought the last few episodes were wonderful. And a very nom-Flanagan open ending was an intriguing first! 🎃

[@raeweaver4209]

I will say you're not alone with Midnight Club. I couldn't get into it either. I honestly only watched it through because I'm a big Mike Flannigan and Heather Langenkamp fan, but there were times where I would periodically fall asleep on and off because it did not keep me as engaged as all of his other shows.

[@grape808]

my hands and feet literally hurt from involuntary muscle twitches through most of Fall. It was so stressful but entertaining, and didnt bother me that it didnt make sense because it was so visceral

[@rfar21]

Even though Midnight Club wasn't my favorite thing, I think to call it "bad" it's a whole different thing. To me, I appreciate the approach Flanagan took with the series giving it a more teen and Are you afraid of the dark vibe. Having said that, I'm hoping that season 2 will have a more horror centered story.

[@user-cd2iq1yf4o]

I watched Fall in theatres high off my ass,,, anxiety was thru the roof😅 surprisingly I enjoyed it!!

[@cloverkill]

Thanks again for the Wendell and Wild screener!! I loved the visuals and even thought it was a bit hectic, really thought it was heartfelt

[@rourkeyful]

I watched The original Craft movie it's so nostalgic to me being a teenager when it first came out. I finally saw Barbarian! Loved it! and Horror in the high desert (slow burn mockumentary) which I also loved x

[@PDunlo]

My gpa’s cousin is Butch Patrick (Eddie Munster). I see him every Christmas

[@gregg3744]

We need more movies like Fall to enjoy the full theatrical experience

[@TheCharmedTributes]

Fall was one of my best theatrical experiences in a while. Didn't let me catch my breath xD

[@gregg3744]

@@TheCharmedTributes same here. I’m happy it was received well when people actually saw it instead of judging it off the bat. The performances, tension and twist were excellent. Wish it wrapped up better but it got the job done. My palms were sweaty in the cinema.

[@Brandon0844]

Great video!!! I, too, watched Fall, Mr. Harrigan's Phone and Wendell and Wild. Great recap. Also, just wanted to let everyone know that for some reason "Boo" isn't on Peacock anymore but it IS on Amazon Prime!

[@MarryMeSenpai]

Maybe it's region locked or something it shows up for me on peacock and prime

[@lovelessfolk]

soo cool i just went on youtube to check if you had posted your recap and its here!!

[@ev1802]

I will forever be indebted to you, I saw Boo once as a child and it always stuck with me for years, I asked around on forums trying to find this movie using vague memories of certain scenes and I can’t believe I found it again through watching this video!!

[@dreammgirll]

i thought i was going crazy because i ALSO thought “fall” and “47 meters down” had the same creators, or the same director at least! apparently it has 2 of the same producers, but i can find anything else that link the two.

[@aaroncarson1770]

I wouldn't have known about Gretel and Hansel, if not for your video. Thank you so much. I really enjoyed that. I'm always looking for something more on the mystical side of the spectrum, and that really hit the spot. Incredible art direction and subtlety.

[@FellDownTheCornHole]

I also thought I remembered something abt the ppl who made 47 meters down making fall. The Midnight clubs pacing especially towards the end is just off but episodes 7&8 are definitely the best episodes of the season.

[@norse_cat]

I don’t know why but when I heard about The Midnight Club, I thought of the Midnight Society from Are You Afraid of the Dark. lol I’d actually love a more adult reboot of that for 90s kids like me.

[@pesky716]

Watch Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities. Seen the first 3 so far. Autopsy is easily the best so far, but all are beautifully shot and well acted.

[@TheStoryTaylor]

Get ready for the fourth one. It was good, but kinda to weird for me . Watching the fifth one tonight. It's with Ben Barnes so i'm hoping it will be a good one

[@gracemcloughlin8737]

Just finished it! It's definitely one of my favourite horror related media to come out this year, if not my overall favourite. Really really enjoyed it and was really happy it was an anthology series! Each episode is so captivating and horrific I loved it

[@brockgangell5759]

I just finished it last night, some good stories with some quality stories

[@freelike_abird]

the autopsy is my fave as well

My favorite movies this month were Hellraiser Reboot, Triangle, Vivarium, The Night Eats the world.

[@connyslayer4661]

They sound very interesting and i will definitely check them out. I have been interested to check out the Hellraiser Reboot and other great new Horror movies with new ideas/themes etc. Thank you very much for mentioning those movies and i hope you had a great time with them overall.

[@starxmon]

[@sarameyers3413]

I know you said you’re not usually a fan of horror shows but you absolutely have to watch Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities! I love that it’s an anthology and there’s some really good stories in there!

[@GB-xt7zm]

YAY! You finally watched Fall. I previously complained about that 😁

[@Rsmr27]

Time is our most precious asset- use it wisely for sure!

[@keepingmedown]

Hey Sarah! First of all I’m a huge fan of yours and I love your content. I was really excited to see Fall because of the heights thing, so I was super curious to hear your thoughts on it. Your comment on how the plot was *exactly* the same as 47 metres down was accurate… disappointingly so. As I’ve seen that movie, I knew the big twist at the end of Fall before I even started it. It was a bummer. I know this wasn’t intentional, I just wanted to mention it for the future. All the best.

[@klaudia8720]

I don't really agree with you about The Midnight Club being bad but I think why you may not be getting a Flanagan feel from this one is because this is not his own show. He is a co-writer as well as co-director in this one so he did not make all of the episodes here, unlike Hill House and Midnight Mass. That's why it might be feeling off to you. Just letting you know so you're aware this is not on Mike whatsoever. I think it being a young adult show also gets on the feel of this show not being similar to his other work.

[@elphbwckd212]

I tried so hard to like this show, but after 6 episodes I just did not like it. I thought it was boring with no characters that were all that likable or relatable. I did not finish it.

Okay you've seen Dashcam and Deadstream but have you seen "Spree"? Same concept, not a technically great film but overall I really enjoyed it. Very entertaining

[@maryduarte3248]

I started watching x I will be watching the rest of it soon

[@osonhodeleon]

Nice to see new found footage movies. Found Footage movies are my favorite sub-genre of horror.

[@itsbrandonbitch]

i love rings!! i feel like the samara stuff is awesome and the movie looks great visually.

[@lessismore8533]

I sure hope they make another ring movie I wanna see part 2 with Julia

[@rociomiranda5684]

I have a problem with The Munsters. I love Fred Gwynne so much that I can never watch another actor in the role of Herman. I've tried. Granted that none of the remake attempts have been good enough, but it would take a miracle for me. Yes, it's weird, but that's the way it is.

[@brockgangell5759]

I just finished Barbarian, Pearl and Bodies bodies bodies and they were excellent imo 👌🏾

[@mmt295]

Yeah, I have a debilitating fear of heights and Fall terrified me. That's the scariest part so I can see people who don't have the fear being more underwhelmed with the film.

[@jinxedangel2]

I love that you stated that it's okay to stop watching something if you aren't enjoying it, that is 100% valid and allowed and not all media was meant to be enjoyed by everyone. That being said, as someone who lost a friend to cancer when I was about these characters age, watching Midnight Club had been such a cathartic viewing, ESPECIALLY episode 7. That one hit me so hard. I feel like it is more of a drama but I understand the horror aspect (they do explain this in the series as well). The kids are making up fake horror to deal with the rl horror they are currently enduring to get a sense of control of their lives again. I have two episodes left but I've loved every minute so far. Also, absolutely stoked to watch W&W!

[@andy5157]

Hey, have you seen the new Hellraiser? I just watched it and I thought it was surprisingly good. It's directed by David Bruckner who also directed The Night House and The Ritual, so I think its worth a watch!! Like I didn't watch the original hellraiser franchise but I thought the remake was great 🙌

[@ethanhechtner3619]

I rewatched Halloweentown, episodes of Charmed and the Craft for Halloween along with started watching Buffy for first time. My favorite first time watches of the month were Halloween Ends and The Djinn. I highly recommend the Djinn for you, because I think it's your taste.

[@WoahLookAtThatFreak]

I don't enjoy found footage movies for the most part but I don't even really consider them to be a subgenre in the first place. It's really just a technique used the same way animation or shooting on 8mm or 16 mm is a technique and not a subgenre. But I did really like Deadstream, I almost could even say I loved it, which would be the first ever "found footage horror" that I felt that strongly about. On a side note I liked that the main characters personality was grading because I personally find a lot of live streamers and social media "influencers" equally annoying so seeing a movie satirize that was great.

[@kballard27]

FALL was INSANE!

[@connor_weggy]

The Watcher was the best horror type of thing I saw this month

[@eviehnt]

regarding the midnight club, as a person who finished the midnight club and has seen and loved everything mike flanagan has released, you’re not missing out by not finishing the show. it literally went nowhere and i won’t be watching season two.

[@mrs.ericalaurenhornmason3825]

Happy Halloween 🎃

[@joelsnyder5866]

I really liked fall I definitely would give it more of a three out of five stars may be a little bit more just for the fact that I think they did a great job and just making you so invested in those girls and making your anxiety go through the roof

[@ravynedge]

Thanks for your videos! I don't always agree, but I like to watch you give your opinions on movies. Glad I'm not the only one who likes Rings, though! Wasn't a fan the first time I watched it, but enjoy it more and more. I still have a hard time not finishing a movie or a series I don't like. Instead, I'll watch it at high chipmunk voice speeds or I'll skip to the end! 😅

[@lessismore8533]

What I appreciated most about Rings was finally seeing Samaras father

[@DonovanPresents]

I missed out, but one of my theaters near me has a showing off Fall recently. It was only one time showing, so I think I missed out on it unless they show it another night

i was sooo bored during the midnight club and i LOVE MIKE FLANNIGAN i was so dissapointed, it was so hard to finish the show but i did and it never got better sadly :(

[@koopakiid16]

When I watched the midnight club I was thinking to myself that this show would be better if it was a straight up drama the horror seemed out of place but I really liked it in the end. I think it was more entertaining than Midnight Mass and I actually shed a tear towards the end. If the only problem you have with midnight club is that it isn't scary try watching it through the lens of a drama maybe? I think the story is worth the watch.

[@cecelietonero2498]

I love your videos, so excited for you & your pregnancy!!!

I LOVED the munsters but I hear where you’re coming from

[@chelsey1087]

Great video! I respect your opinion about not liking Stranger Things. I love Stranger things and it is one of my all time favourite shows. Season 4 has the most horror so that’s probably my favourite season even though I think the entire show is good. We all have different opinions though about movies and shows and that is fine 😊

can you do a tour of your dvd collection and how you organize them ??

[@gracemcloughlin8737]

I know midnight club had its flaws and there's still questions I have I feel are unanswered but for what it's worth I enjoyed it! I love Flanagans stuff so I feel I'm biased though. I can't wait for Fall of house Usher though!

[@BrunoBritos]

Hi, i did a reaction of the midnight club, i agree that its not that great, but honestly episode 7 its one of the best tv show episodes that i watched, it made ir worth all of other eps, so when you have free time, just try, for me it was amazing

Maybe it's wrong but on Letterboxd it shows that two of the producer's of Fall did also work on 47 Meters Down. James Harris and Mark Lane apparently.

[@shawnalashley8951]

The best parts of midnight club are in the last 3 episodes but I get it cause it’s a slow start for a horror show

I can do most horror movies, but for some reason I just know that Fall would be too much for me. 😅 It makes me sick just thinking about the idea. Also the Rob Zombie Aftershock shoutout ❤️ he was amazing

[@connyslayer4661]

Completely understandable and i agree,same here. I can do most horror movies as well but movies like Fall can be a hit or miss for me. They can be interesting to check out but sometimes it can be somewhat too cringe thinking about the idea or feel sick like you mentioned. I would like to check it out sometime later maybe. I am also happy to see Rob Zombie back and doing pretty well, i will check more of his current work.

[@starnote100]

Major spoiler alert for Fall: I loved it but have a major issue with the very end: when the dad realizes it's his daughter that survived and he says to her "Let's go home." Ummm...I think the hospital might be a better idea?? To treat her bad sunburn, get some strong antibiotics for her leg wound that is smelling, and to hook her up to an I.V.?? It's minor but this really annoys me.

[@pablodelsegundo9502]

I'm pretty down on Rob Zombie movies in general now. Other than 3 From Hell, his last GOOD one was Halloween. So I can appreciate the DNF on The Munsters. Deadstream was fun! Not great, but entertaining enough for me. As for Dashcam, I only hated the end. Annie should've died. Given your aversion to horror (TV) series, I'm surprised you even bothered with Midnight Club. I didn't hate it, but didn't like how they swept all the supernatural elements under the rug at the end. I'm also not a huge fan of the young adult plague that we've had since The Hunger Games, but since these young'uns were terminal, it made it interesting. Morbidity is always appreciated in my house.
