I saw a talk with Roger Ebert and Bill Paxton after a screening of A Simple Plan in 2000 or 2001 I believe. Paxton was proud of the film and utterly hysterical. He asked people if there were any impressions they wanted him to do of his past characters and he did them all, the biggest highlight was him saying Hudson’s lines from ALIENS. Just a great guy. Afterwards he asked where a good local watering hole was so he could drink. RIP Bill Paxton, you were an underrated actor and one of my favs.

[@geoffreyfyfe2248]

He should have been proud as it's one of his finest performances. A great study of an ordinary man who finds himself capable of great evil.

[@cobwebschannel]

What a king.

[@henfarasubtitrare9764]

The best part about your recommendation videos is that you get really specific. It's honestly shocking that no one really did this before consistently.

[@cobwebschannel]

Thanks! I like to get really specific because it allows me to talk about unexpected stuff.

[@alixpress00]

I just think the dude has a really great grasp on how to summarize without spoilers and simultaneously sell his own excitement. Such a friendly seeming guy

[@benmcgill5316]

I know it is a miniseries but Storm of the Century

[@Saetun.]

The Blackcoats Daughter is an absolute gem. Nice list man, I’m excited to check out The Snow Woman.

[@michaelschrader8242]

You do a great job on this channel, and I’m not even a huge horror fan. If I could mention my buddy Brent Briscoe, who played opposite of Bill Paxton and Billy Bob Thornton in A Simple Plan. Brent always got overlooked, but he was such a great actor and a great guy. Brent passed a few years ago and he is missed. We used to umpire little league games together. Him calling a 10 year old out at first was hilarious. RIP Brent.

[@johnbrisson1965]

I am absolutely shocked that you do not have Ghost Story from 1981 on there. That is my go to Winter film.

[@TomFrichek]

Blackcoat's Daughter scared the crap outta me. For winter horror, I gotta say Krampus might have done the sound and feel of deep winter the best. What massive amounts of snow does to sound and light doesn't get captured by many movies (Hateful 8 also comes to mind), and when it does I am completely sold. Speaking of sold, 30 Days of Night is now on the Watchlist. Thanks dude 10/10 fricheks

[@kittitouchlamkongka3454]

You're my new fav and the best horror channel for me right now

[@cobwebschannel]

I appreciate that!

[@vze57t9j]

We've been watching 'Where Eagles Dare' every December for ages! It's become a tradition in our house. It's a bit of a military thriller, but it's absolutely lovely for seeing Ingrid Pitt outside of her Hammer and Amicus roles. :)

[@adamortego7499]

Thank you for including 30 Days Of Night. Ben Foster is so damn good in that role.

[@jacquilarson]

Love these: The Frozen Ground, Dark Was the Night, The Shining, The Day after Tomorrow, Storm of the Century, The Terror (TV), Black Christmas, and The Snowman

[@bruh_hahaha]

my winter favorites: - Misery - Dead of Winter (1987) - The Day After Tomorrow - The Thing (both movies) - Cold Prey 1, 2 - The Grey - Wind River - Everest

[@ShaneStone-zg7sl]

YES

[@michaelsamerdyke108]

So happy to find someone who likes "Runaway Train." It was directed by the Russian Andrei Konchalovsky. I also like "A Simple Plan" a lot. Bill Paxton was terrific and really made the film.

[@thetransfermaster]

I love that your lists factor in vibes. This is a huge thing for me with rewatch-ability of movies.

[@bdubbbsmoviehub]

Lots a stuff on here I need to check out! Thanks for the recommendations! I gotta say, I absolutely love 30 Days of Night. Ben Foster is underrated.

[@cobwebschannel]

This and 3:10 to Yuma are why I thought he was so awesome when I was a kid.

[@bdubbbsmoviehub]

@ great movie as well! I liked him in Hostage (not the best movie in the world but he played a solid role)

[@AmandaRamey22]

Snow Woman! Thank you for introducing our household to this movie. We watched it last night based from your recommendation. Absolutely captivating on levels! I was fully emerged into this story. My only negative is it was ONLY 80 mins long. I could have watched another 2 hours of this story and been fully satisfied. Great visuals, solid storytelling, and the most beautiful ghost I’ve ever seen in a movie 🍿🎥🙏

[@snakehandler87]

WENDIGO!!!! this movie means so much to me... absolutely traumatized me when i was younger but its such an amazing movie and the music 🥲

[@porcorosso4ever848]

Dude, if you've never seen The Innkeepers you gotta check it out (from 2011). Slow-burn, fantastic characters, great great atmosphere and the last half is scary as hell. So underrated. Its really perfection IMO.

[@cobwebschannel]

Love The Innkeepers!

[@JanPospisilArt]

"Black Mountain Side" (2014) combines my two favourite vibes - winter/snow and archaeology. Not a mindblowingly amazing movie, but a very solid horror.

[@KiltedDevilDawg]

Man, watching your vids are comforting.

[@BarsMar]

I cannot believe I never saw this channel, really nice compilations. Truly respect you sir for taking the time and making these ❤🙏😊

[@PatrickGreeneFearwriter]

I love that you throw in some more straight-forward thrillers like Runaway Train.

[@cobwebschannel]

Sweet! Honestly planning to do more of that this year because I’m really getting into thrillers lately.

[@leecifer81]

I love your videos because you have great recommendations, but DUDE, they can’t all be one of your all time favorites.

[@cobwebschannel]

lol They’re not. When I say “one of my favorites” I don’t always mean “one of my all time favorites”. Sometimes it’s one of my favorite modern indie horror films, or one of my favorite winter films, or 90s thrillers, or whatever else. As you can probably tell from my lists, I enjoy categorizing movies.

[@garrick3727]

I found $4 million in the woods years back and I just watch movies and the Cobwebs Channel all day. Never gets old.

[@cobwebschannel]

Hell yeah 😎

[@Alice_Long]

Love the Blackcoat's Daughter.

[@fariedvallie699]

Runaway Train is a excellent choice.I watched it on a cold rainy day and it is like you are in the movie itself.Excellent on your part.

[@chrisharrison809]

This channel rules. Thanks for all of this!

[@kristyparlor7849]

My fave Winter Horror movies are The Thing, Werewolves Within and 30 Days of Night.

[@richarddlee930]

Dark was the night is one of my favorite winter horror movies

[@thelastmoviestanding]

The Abominable Snowman from 1957 looks really interesting. I love 50s B/W moves with snow. Will definitely be checking this out!

[@cobwebschannel]

Nice, hope you enjoy! Thanks for checking this out, Brian.

[@PeteHawthorne]

So good seeing We Are Still Here getting some much deserved love!

[@terryschappert2397]

Legitimately love this channel.

[@janeburkhart4051]

Great list! Definitely a few I need to check out. Two of my favorites are Dark Was The Night and Black Mountain Side.

[@jacquilarson]

Dark Was the Night! Great film- totally unknown and underrated.

[@AVAPopCulture]

love it!! I just got that Simple Plan 4k...never seen it but I love Bill Paxton and everyone is really saying how great it is! Looking forward to watching it!

[@cobwebschannel]

That’s awesome! I really think you’ll dig it.

[@jezzalexander]

30 Days. Always my go-to snow fest horror gumbo mumbo. Love it.

[@hermanpant3716]

Great vid. I would like to nominate The Dead Zone for a great winter chiller... guaranteed to lower the room temperature.

[@imtired6104]

Two movies that weren't mentioned are Alive (1993) and Ravenous (1999). My favorite non-horror winter movie is Amadeus. Love the channel!

[@popey129]

Dead of winter from 1987. On tubi. Great movie. Roddy McDowell. 😊😊😊😊😊 great video.

[@curtbalch2321]

Great recommendation of "We Are Still Here." First time i watched it I was surprised by how much the Massachusetts setting looked like Western New York; turned out that's exactly where it was filmed, just down the road from me.

[@cobwebschannel]

Nice, that’s really cool.

[@TheMutteringMagpie]

Oh, comedy-horror that was pretty good was "The Wolf of Snow Hallow." Fun watch!

[@kristennelson3190]

Oh, I LOVE that movie!!!😁👏👏 I've been meaning to rewatch it (and I think it's free on Tubi right now), so thanks for the reminder!🌨🐾🐺

[@irisheyesmeg]

Thanks for the recommendation. While I didn't feel it was much of a comedy, I really did enjoy the movie!

[@michelleflynn2907]

Also Werewolves Within

[@TheMutteringMagpie]

A winter war movie that I recall is "A Midnight Clear." Definitely need to rewatch.

[@riandraegon556]

Oh, Midnight Clear is fabulous.

[@Muzikgirl67]

I would choose 1980's "Terror Train" with Jamie Lee Curtis, and 1977's "Snowbeast" with Bo Svenson and Clint Walker!🥶❄️⛄🥶❄️⛄🥶❄️⛄

[@kristyparlor7849]

@Muzikgirl67 Terror Train is my all time fave Jamie Lee Curtis slasher.

[@user-ld7ch1er6j]

Sweet. Snow basically makes any horror...horror-er. BTW Wind Chill (2007) starring Emily Blunt is another, sort of underrated snowy horror movie which I really like. Would recommend to anyone.

[@kristyparlor7849]

@user-ld7ch1er6j just googled this and now I must see it. I absolutely love Emily Blunt. Thanks for the recommendation.

[@Conyak6366]

Came to the comments to say the same. Highly recommend Wind Chill.

[@leatherandjade]

Another MUST see, all-but-forgotten winter thriller/mystery absolutely no one talks about: “Dead of Winter” from 1987 starring Mary Steenburgen. It may even be here on the Tube. ❤️❤️❤️❄️❄️❄️

[@kathypappas6867]

Abominable Snowman is one of my favorites! 😍

[@crystal23ish]

Love your enthusiasm for horror ,great choice of movies Daniel ❄️

[@harrisarp3841]

Great movies recommendations as always!!!

[@cobwebschannel]

Thank you!

[@usmcfutball]

Subscribed, subscribed, subscribed!! Luv Daniel's enthusiasm and passion for movies, film and cinema! Great channel!

[@TorontoJon]

22:21 'A Simple Plan' (1998) is such a great movie and almost has a Coen Brothers 'Fargo' (1996) feeling about it, but it is unique in its own way as a wintery crime drama that shows friendships and family relationships unravel due to greed, paranoia, and not knowing who to trust in the town or beyond. It's perfect. :)

[@scottgoertzen5368]

Danny Huston's vampire = AWESOME. "No god," 😂

[@colinmcneil3428]

So glad you finally made a winter horror list, I’ve been looking forward to one for a long time. We don’t get much snow out here, but the dead trees and white sky we get would not be out of place in a horror movie, particularly a slow-burn ghost movie. One topic suggestion: city horror movies. I usually associate horror with the wilderness or small isolated towns but do you have any recommendations of horror movies set in big cities (particularly ones where the city itself plays a role of some kind)?

[@shannondore]

No Exit was awesome! I wasn't expecting to be as good as it was. The twists and turns in that movie gave me whiplash. 😂

[@davidsimpson8192]

First comment.. so Happy tosee you Daniel.. my favourite channel ❤️

[@cobwebschannel]

Hey, thank you!

[@redwillow79schippers94]

My favorite winter horror films are Ghost Story, Blood Tracks, Snow Beast, Shredder, and Ghostkeeper. Satan's Blade and Dead Snow 1 and 2 are also really good

[@1anastudent]

Let the right one in! What a wonderful slow burn vampire movie.

[@Ian-te7tk]

Black Christmas is a pretty good one as well.

[@nancyblair6187]

It's always so hilarious when Burl Ives plays villains. That's, uh . . . not very Holly Jolly of you, Sir!

[@grey_wulf]

Hi Daniel! Love your top 10s. Always seem to have a few movies on them I've missed. Thanks!

[@nickp8309]

My fucking MAN!!!! 30 Days of Night is incredible, my favorite horror movie and super under appreciated

[@cobwebschannel]

That’s awesome! Glad to hear you love it that much.

[@nickp8309]

​@@WilliamLyons-ym7eenot great but also not terrible!

[@Tymbus]

You have become one of my go-to review channels. I love your selection of movies and enthusiasm. The Abominable Snowman was based on a play for the BBC by Nigel Kneale who, as you know, wrote the Quatermass dramas which Hammer adapted for the screen

[@upStomp]

Awesome how you time your video posts with my morning constitution.

[@annmariemarino2003]

😮

[@cobwebschannel]

😂 Happy to help!

[@auroraremote2104]

thank you. it so refreshing to get off the beaten path with you. so many good movies ive never heard of.

[@bent3736]

Dead of Winter, Cold Prey, Black Mountain Side and the excellent RAVENOUS!!

[@D-bow288]

What a fun topic of movies to recommend! Such a treat to see a new video. I do have to be honest and absolutely look forward to your upcoming review of Nosferatu! I know you will give this movie such a justifying and impactful review!

[@cobwebschannel]

Man, I’m really looking forward to it too!

[@Sandy-gg7to]

You probably left off The Lodge beacause it's too well known, but I'd also like to throw out Sympathy for Lady Vengeance (2005), Lady Snowblood (1973), and Dead Snow (2009). Thanks for the list! It's cold AF here and there's no way I'm leaving the house tonight lol Stay warm all y'all spooky nerds!! 🖤

[@redwillow79schippers94]

Dead Snow 2 is fun as well

[@annmariemarino2003]

Nice list! Thanks👍

[@cobwebschannel]

Much appreciated!

[@michelleflynn2907]

Already watched Day After Tomorrow, The Thing & 30 Days of Night this winter! I really enjoy “winter” as a central character.

[@TheOverlordOfProcrastination]

Glad to see February on there (as it was known when I saw it). Casts such a chilly spell. Needs to be watched several times. The Dead Zone deserves a place.

[@paulzenco6182]

Blackcoat s daughter! I loved it! And A Simple Plan what an excellent movie from 1999 the best year of movies ever

[@donnybru1835]

For snowy thrillers I really enjoyed TransSiberian. Eery, wintery atmosphere and a fairly nail-biting premise.

[@neon-maniac]

Thank you for another amazing video. You are an inspiration. Happy holidays.

[@cobwebschannel]

Thanks for the kind words and happy holidays to you too!

[@6HauntedDays]

Low of -15 here in Wisconsin tonight 🥶❄️ 🌬️😑 & the high today was 5 🤣 so perfect timing!

[@parisgreen4600]

What a great collection - several I've never even heard of! Thank you. I love 'We Are Still Here' - it's like two movies in one the way it shifts gears in the last act. I'd also suggest 'Wind Chill' with Emily Blunt - two college students driving home for the holidays take a shortcut - that goes about as well as you'd expect. Very little gore but lots of atmosphere.

[@DaleRibbons]

I love the Abominable Snowman! It is actually my favorite Hammer film.

[@Oneiros71]

Thanks for the NO EXIT rec! Solid thriller!

[@darkstarr2540]

Red One is a masterpiece! It may just be the greatest snow movie ever made 😅.

[@ADarkandStormyNight]

Great list, I enjoyed this. Classic film music is my passion, nice to see some love for some of those films.

[@brianlindstrand934]

A SIMPLE PLAN is such a great movie. I saw that when it first came out and was the only person in the theater. Because of this, I was able to say a loud "F***" when the film's stunning twist occurs.

[@cobwebschannel]

The great thing about this movie is I’m not even sure which twist you’re talking about. There are so many moments that deserve that reaction. haha

[@crystalshaw8744]

Agreed. Excellent movie.

[@UncleTermite]

I don’t think there’s any real twist in the movie it’s just a straight forward very predictable movie about three bubbling guys that were going to turn on each other and someone was going to eventually come to get the money they found ,it’s actually a very funny movie as it is well directed ,I saw it several times but this really isn’t a thriller.

[@monsterbride4615]

I love this category! Some of my fav dark winter movies (besides some mentioned) are Black Swan, Eyes Wide Shut, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Batman Returns.

[@craigharris9185]

Great video as always Daniel. You’ve made some great recommendations of films I’ve missed. Going to check out Runaway Train 👍

[@ms.carter3843]

Excellent List I added a couple of the films you mentioned to my watchlist One movie I didn't hear you mention was Dead Of Winter 1987 I believe it's available to watch on KZbin A perfect watch on a cold winters night In my opinion

[@josephblumenberg6574]

Some of my personal favorites: 30 Days of Night Dark Was the Night (2014) The Big White (dark- comedy starring Robin Williams) Frozen (2010) Snowpiercer The Hateful Eight The Lodge Cold Pursuit Wind River Let the Right One In The Grey Dead Snow

[@Devilsfan_1]

Solid recommendations! Billy Bob & Bill Paxton we’re also good in One False Move. Scott Smith, the author of a Simple Plan also wrote the Ruins. One of my fav authors. My go to winter horror flick, the Dead Zone.

[@TheBioramax]

The segment on Runaway Train made me think about 'The Cassandra Crossing' (1979). It is a forgotten movie that I still love. I watched it a few years ago, and it may be a little melodramatic by modern standards, but still very intense.

[@VAWineNB]

I love Cassandra Crossing - a little cheesy but that cast! And quite a bit more graphic than the average disaster movie of the 1970s.

[@vorhees2093]

I own the last winter and it’s good and would make a great double feature with Wendigo. I’ve been trying to find Wendigo, I’ll have to get this collection. Great list, as always. Glad to see Blackcoats Daughter mentioned

[@WarrickRanger]

No Exit was great and doesn’t get talked about enough. It’s based on an equally good book. Werewolves Within is a fun winter horror-comedy. Also recommend the mini series The Head.

[@michaelmcclure7434]

Bridget Fonda would have made a superb Lady Macbeth. Two snowy horror movies: 1. The Thing -1949. This is my favorite 'B' movie of all time. It is just about perfect. 2. Extinction - 2015. A pretty good Post-Apocalyptic movie about three people with issues facing down zombie/vampire things in the snow. Good program. As it's in the upper 20's outside, very appropriate.

[@klwm6432]

The BlackCoat's Daughter is truly creepy and a winter horror film blast!

[@tolkar273]

The weather is like a lead character. LOVE THIS LIST but where’s Frozen?

[@BlueRagtop]

For those who don't know, it is definitely NOT the Disney movie. 🥶

[@shanetheliver]

I watched The Last Winter about a week ago, and it's definitely worth checking out if you enjoy a slow burn reveal. I also really enjoy the film Wind Chill with Emily Blunt, as well as The Children (2008), The Good Son and The Wolf of Snow Hollow. I also like Whiteout with Kate Beckinsale, because Kate Beckinsale. 👀

[@geoffreyfyfe2248]

Larry Fesseden has something of a Wendigo obsession. Also see his episode of "Fear Itself", which is a really good Wendigo story.

[@kristennelson3190]

"The Lodge". I just started the video, but I have to recommend this movie. 😜 I watch "The Lodge" and Stephen King's "Storm of the Century" miniseries at Least once Every winter. 🌨🖤❄️

[@janicestewart8291]

I love "Storm Of The Century" I think it was made for TV but its awesome. The members of the cast are great. I love Gary Chang's music in it as well. It's a creepy movie but the music really calms me...strange huh?

[@jeffjustlookin]

Wind River (2017) is a great thriller.

[@janetmonahan6904]

I saw No Exit.Very good!!!

[@drumtum]

Horror Express & The Fearless Vampire Killers are two nice winter movies.

[@Captain327]

You could also check out 'Let the Right One In' (2008) and 'Frostbiter: Wrath of the Wendigo' (1995).

[@cobwebschannel]

Let the Right One In is great. Frostbiter I own, but still haven’t seen!

[@kristennelson3190]

Oooh!! "Let the Right One In" is a brilliant movie. Even the American remake "Let Me In" is surprisingly great! 👍

[@JJFolgers]

The Invisible Man (1933) has GOT to make the list!

[@jessebrennan7130]

I'll have to find some of these movies and watch them... I just got done watching your friends movie Lowlifes. 👍👍 It kept me guessing on who was going to survive, were there going to be any betrayals, etc.. I yelled at the TV a couple times, LOL

[@kimwestwood8840]

White Out is a good thriller with Kate Beckinsale
