Probably...
going to slip into a cheese-induced-coma while watching many horror films - The hubby is away in sunny Wales on a cycling holiday!

Alright!
How goes it?

Not too bad thanks!
Planning on a drunken weekend with possible banoffee pie, should be fun!

What films do you have in mind?
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Fri 17 Aug 2012, 16:33, Reply)

Oooh banoffee is
gooooooood

My recipe is more than a little unhealthy too, haha

May I recommend anything from the Dennis Wheatley oevre?

I'm all ears! :)

(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Fri 17 Aug 2012, 16:31, Reply)

The Devil Rides Out is good
It's kind of like an episode of The Avengers in it's 1960s capmness, but still scary if you're on your own in a dark house.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Fri 17 Aug 2012, 16:32, Reply)

Noted, thanks
Sounds like it could be entertaining.
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Fri 17 Aug 2012, 16:38, Reply)

I'm too much of a wuss to watch horror films on my own, what are you watching?

(Poppet some assembly required., Fri 17 Aug 2012, 16:28, Reply)

It's the only opportunity I get
The other half doesn't like horrors, unless they have vamps or zoms... he's a picky so and so! :)

I'll probably end up watching Creep, Insidious, Wrong Turn, Frigth Night, Last House and then look on Netflix for something shockingly awful but entertaining...
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Fri 17 Aug 2012, 16:34, Reply)

Firstly, Insidious is pretty crap
And secondly - icky so and so! :) ansy
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Fri 17 Aug 2012, 16:35, Reply)

Aww don't say that
I thought it looked alright from the trailer! Gah!
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Fri 17 Aug 2012, 16:39, Reply)

It's just another 'Boo!' horror film, sadly.
Give me proper horrors anyday (The Omen), or at least decent 'Boo' films.(Candyman)
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Fri 17 Aug 2012, 16:40, Reply)

I thought The Devil Inside looked good
but it got absolutely slated on IMDb.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Fri 17 Aug 2012, 16:42, Reply)

I'm not a fan of 'found footage' films, so that one doesn't tempt me

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Fri 17 Aug 2012, 16:43, Reply)

Yeah that did look pretty good from the trailer!
Most of the time I don't trust IMDb opinions on films, mainly because I end up loving the films that everyone else slates! Haha
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Fri 17 Aug 2012, 16:48, Reply)

Aww
I was always very partial to Hellraiser and also Wishmaster. Oooh I might watch An American Werewolf in London now that I think of it.
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Fri 17 Aug 2012, 16:44, Reply)

Hellraiser is an excellent film, and I've never seen Wishmaster.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Fri 17 Aug 2012, 16:44, Reply)

Oh you should
It's truly awful, but also brilliant! I think someone gets chopped in half with piano wire at one point - it's not a party 'til that happens! :)
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Fri 17 Aug 2012, 16:46, Reply)

Sweet!
Reminds me of the bit in Omen 2 where the guy is cut in half with a lift cable, haha
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Fri 17 Aug 2012, 16:48, Reply)

Haha
It still can't beat The Omen where the guy gets his head chopped off with the sheet of glass - that gave me nightmares as a kid!
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Fri 17 Aug 2012, 16:49, Reply)

The flips that head does is superb
And the scene in the graveyard still freaks the shit out of me.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Fri 17 Aug 2012, 16:50, Reply)

It is a brilliant horror film
As is the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
(Bazongaloid, Fri 17 Aug 2012, 16:53, Reply)

The bit where Leatherface just cracks the guy on the head with the hammer makes me laugh every time
*bonk*
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Fri 17 Aug 2012, 16:55, Reply)

It's when he hangs her up on a meat hook that it's really gross, and she's struggling and try ing to pull herself off.

(Bazongaloid, Fri 17 Aug 2012, 16:55, Reply)

That bit does make me cringe.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Fri 17 Aug 2012, 16:57, Reply)

I agree
I think that's more freaky because it looks more real. The head scene is so blatently a papier-mache noggin' it makes it more comical.
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Fri 17 Aug 2012, 16:54, Reply)

Wheeee!
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Fri 17 Aug 2012, 16:57, Reply)

I like it when the statue comes to life and just pushes the mace through the guys head.
Hellraiser 3 is better than the first one in terms of cheesieness.
(Bazongaloid, Fri 17 Aug 2012, 16:49, Reply)

Those statue guys are bad-ass!

(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Fri 17 Aug 2012, 16:51, Reply)

I downloaded all 4 and might well watch them this weekend since the mrs is away.
Oh, you know what, I can't believe I've only just thought of this, while your hubby and my wife are away we should totally hook up.

That does sound like it's the only option we have
it's almost like if we dont' do it we're awful bastards.

Frankly, they would expect nothing less.
To be fair we should probably invite Chickenlady too.

I'm a massive wuss. I can't watch anything scary without wigging out about it.
Especially not alone.
(Poppet some assembly required., Fri 17 Aug 2012, 16:38, Reply)

Haha
It's only a problem when I try to sleep, but my dreams are usually fucked up without horror-based inspiration so I'm cool with it! :)
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Fri 17 Aug 2012, 16:40, Reply)

You should go and see the Abraham Lincoln movie then.
I went to see it a couple of weeks ago when it came out. I was so frightened by it that I was hugging my knees to my chest and crouching on my seat so I could run away at any moment. And I screamed out loud more than once.


but then, like I said, I am a big wuss with scary movies.
(Poppet some assembly required., Fri 17 Aug 2012, 16:42, Reply)

Haha no worries
I would like to see the film, but I need to read the book first, I've got it on Kindle - just waiting to finish Grisham-trash first! :)
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Fri 17 Aug 2012, 16:45, Reply)

I recently picked up a similar book with Queen Victoria hunting demons.
Haven't had a chace to read it yet though.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Fri 17 Aug 2012, 16:48, Reply)

Really? What was it called?
Have you read Pride and Predjudice and Zombies?
(Bazongaloid, Fri 17 Aug 2012, 16:50, Reply)

That's not bad actually
It's a bit silly, but good train-fodder! I think it's the same guy that wrote the Abraham Lincoln book isn't it?
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Fri 17 Aug 2012, 16:53, Reply)

Yeah, I was a bit dissapointed by the Abe Lincoln book, it was alright, but it wasn't as good as i'd hoped

(Bazongaloid, Fri 17 Aug 2012, 16:55, Reply)

Borf :(
That's a shame, I'll give it a whirl at some point - see what I think!
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Fri 17 Aug 2012, 16:57, Reply)

Did you read the 3rd book in the Strain trilogy?
I was really dissapointed by it.
(Bazongaloid, Fri 17 Aug 2012, 16:59, Reply)

It's my holiday read
I'm going to read all three back to back, but I am already prepared to be annoyed. I think I'll back it up by reading the shitty Scott Mariani trilogy - at least it's not trying to be anything but a vamp/action romp.
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Fri 17 Aug 2012, 17:03, Reply)

I have all three of those books, they're great fun to read.
You should try Sense and Sensibility and Seamonsters, or Jayne Slayer.

'Android Karenina' made me lol.

ahaha it's sitting on my bookshelf.
I bought it a few months ago and I've read it twice already. It's hilariously ludicrous.

Queen Victoria: Demon Slayer.
It's on my amazon wishlist.
