Thank you for doing it the normal way.

I really don't know how I'd rank Leatherface to Generations. Generations was bat shit crazy with the crossdressing and the illuminati shit, but Leatherface and really any of the remakes for me are just boring and I think that's worse then being a bat shit crazy movie. Boring is forgettable and I've never forgotten Generations even with how bad it is.

I understand that. Thinking on it, from my point of view, it's because I haven't watched all of the Texas Chainsaws, and not in order, either. I watched the original years ago, then I watched the one that came out in 2007...? The one that opens with Leatherface's overworked, overweight mum keeling over from exhaustion, and dying giving birth to him - and THEN, at some point after that, I saw Next Generation.
 
There have been so many reboots, soft reboots, and remakes of Texas Chainsaw that I've given up on it and only stick with the first 2. The only series that's worse about it's soft reboots is Halloween and I also only stick to the first two with that one.

To butt into your comment, people insist that Leatherface is the worst Texas Chainsaw film. I disagree. Haven't seen it, but if and when I do, I'll probably still disagree. Or, if my opinion changes at all, I'll still dislike the one I'm on about:

I posted this here as an excuse to relevantly mini-sperg about how much I dislike The Next Generation. Some posh twat, Matthew McConaughey, and Cross Dressing-Leatherface-Who-Looks-Somewhat-Like-Robert-Smith.

My problem with that movie is the subplot; it seems they were trying to go conpiracy theory that the murders the Sawyers committed were some grand scheme by some powers that be to instill fear, it was poorly executed.

I felt the same way about Michael Myers being possessed by the entity the Cult of Thorn worships.

Me, too. I lost track. As for Halloween, I only really like the 1978 and 2018 ones. I saw the second one once, couldn’t get into it. The 2007 version is good for a dark laugh, due to Stepdad Ronnie and Big Joe Grizzly. I thought Malcolm McDowell was decent as Dr. Loomis, might I add.
 
one of my jobs over the years has left me on various media mailing lists, like guests to book on shows
thanks to a faith-based mailing list I'm on I got a pitch for a musician who mentioned his credentials, including
He has collaborated with over 100 musicians and celebrities from all the continent of the world including famous Hollywood Oscar nominee Paul Raci, Bollywood legend Jaspinder Narula; Grammy voting pianist Charu Suri; and Monaco ballet star-singer Lorena Baricalla to name a few. The American film director Lloyd Kaufman personally selected his song "Mon Amour" for the soundtrack of the Hollywood movie Heart of Fartness.

I have to assume they're not quite aware of Kaufman's place in the world of entertainment, nor of the word "fart" if they're using this to sell the musician to Christian talk shows.

and I don't even wanna know what Lloyd's gonna do to them when he finds out they're calling him Hollywood

On that note, anybody want to talk about Primal? I haven’t watched the second season because it just seems too distinct from the vision of the first. But the first season has some of my favorite adventure-horror.

Second season was still good, but I liked the tone of the first better.

I just watched Nu-sferatu and it was pretty nice:

What's up with that mustache

The moustache is in the book, pleb. The Jess Franco adaptation is the only other one with the stache:

Truly, this is a Horrorfan69-tier of post. Sad!

Yeah, we know you asked ChatGPT "What other Dracula movies does he have a moustache?"

Sad!

Well let's try

In Dracula lore, depictions of the character vary greatly, but a few versions have Dracula sporting a mustache. Here are some notable ones:

  1. Bela Lugosi in Dracula (1931)
    Lugosi’s iconic portrayal does not feature a mustache, but it's worth noting as a point of contrast because of how definitive his clean-shaven look became.
  2. Christopher Lee in Hammer Films’ Dracula Series
    Christopher Lee’s Dracula is typically clean-shaven, though some promotional artwork or variations in the series might depict him differently.
  3. Gary Oldman in Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)
    Oldman's Dracula features a mustache in his portrayal of the "younger" version of Vlad the Impaler, particularly in the opening scenes. This aligns with Stoker’s original description of Dracula in the novel, where he is noted to have a "long white mustache."
  4. Klaus Kinski in Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979)
    While not a traditional "mustachioed" Dracula, Kinski’s portrayal in this homage to the original Nosferatu borrows elements from different Dracula representations, including more rugged facial features.
  5. Frank Langella in Dracula (1979)
    Langella's Dracula is clean-shaven but carries a more romantic and debonair appearance, reflecting a trend away from mustachioed interpretations in that era.
  6. Jack Palance in Dracula (1974)
    Palance’s portrayal is generally clean-shaven, but it’s important to note this version aimed to blend elements of Stoker’s novel with more contemporary styles.
The mustache is more of a throwback to Stoker’s literary Dracula and hasn’t been consistently carried into most film adaptations. It tends to appear in films aiming for closer adherence to the book.

So yeah that's borderline worthless. Maybe Son of Dracula counts?

But you can't just come into this thread and say "X is the only Y" and not have everybody try to list every Y ever.

That's a spinoff and doesn't count. These posts are getting sadder and sadder.
 
Has anybody ever seen Living in Peril? I watched it on FX years back. It's really not great, but I enjoy it. Rob Lowe is an architect who relocates to L.A. for a job, and he has to deal with an unknown party who's sneaking into his apartment at night, and terrorizing him in escalating ways.

It's more of a thriller than a horror movie, if the distinction matters.

OK guy who never watched the Academy Award™®-winning Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula (ngl, kinda jealous of that)

Count Orlok ain't meant to be specifically Count Vlad Tepes Dracula in Nu-sferatu, though. More like a vampire vaguely, if at all related, who's more of a sorcerer.

Wikipedia says that was in the original, which is news to me.

Occultism​

Murnau and Grau gave Orlok in the film a demonic lineage and an occult origin: Orlok is the creation of Belial, one of the Satanic archdemons. Belial in Psalm 41:8–10 is also associated with pestilence, with Orlok in film being the very manifestation of contagion, rats pouring out of his coffins onto the streets of Wisborg, spreading Black Death.[17] Orlok's link to Belial is also highly significant because Belial is "one of the demons traditionally summoned by Goetic magicians" – making Orlok someone who practiced dark sorcery before becoming a vampire.[18]

Orlok and his servant Knock are communicating in occult language – the documents between Orlok and Knock are written in the Enochian language, a constructed language said to be that of the angels, which was recorded in the private journals of English occultist John Dee and his colleague English alchemist Edward Kelley in late 16th-century Elizabethan England.[19][20]

Gotta brush up on my Enochian

'Creation of Belial'... Never knew that. That could be taken a few ways: that he's the demonic Demigod son of Belial, that he was a Rasputin-type who had vague, legit mystical powers, who became a monster in exchange for greater power and eternal life (via drinking blood), or Orlok always was a demonspawn who was given the avatar of a bloke.

Oh, right. I've only just noticed that Orlok and his manservant practiced occult magic. 🙄 Me and my skim-reading.
