Inspiration for It Follows???

Check this out, if you have a few minutes. I just mentioned this on markus-san's thread about his son. This is a collection of scenes from The Astounding She-Monster (1958). She just walked slowly toward you, and if she touched you then you would immediately die. Doesn't it sound like It Follows, when I describe it that way? It was a very different movie from It Follows: she was supposed to be an alien, it had a very un-It Follows twist at the end, and most of her victims were a bunch of gangsters, soooo they were quite different from random horny teenagers. But, just the general feel of how she came at you, and what would happen if she touched you, was the same as It Follows.

Your Favorite 2019 Viewing

It's almost the end of the year, though you can revise your answers if you're ever so inclined...

Of all the movies in 2019, I think I enjoyed Rambo V: Last Blood the most. Not to say that it's a perfect movie, but it kind of is. Critics trashed it, trying to put a political spin on it, but they're a bunch of ass-hats. The movie was a concise and brutal revenge film, and with a legendary pop culture icon nonetheless. Something about this movie stuck with me. Haunted me. I loved how bleak and nihilistic it all was.

I also liked The Beach Bum a lot, but that's because I'm a Harmony Korine fanboy bitch. Surprisingly, Terminator isn't my favorite.


I still need to watch The Irishman, but that may be a contender from the cast and crew alone. Next year, all I care for is Halloween Kills!

What about you? What was your favorite 2019 movie (thus far)?

Twin Peaks! Again!

I am in the process of watching Twin Peaks again. And man, I love this show so much. I'm only on Season 1, episode 3, but I am already catching things I missed the first time! I am excited to keep watching, and even to deal with the filler episodes in season 2.


This show is truly amazing. David Lynch and Mark Frost are geniuses when it comes to formulating the story. The cast is great, and the writing is phenomenal. I still have hope that maybe there will be a season 4, and if I was rich I would get the oculus and the Twin Peaks VR game on steam.

Thank you @box for introducing me into the wonderful, crazy, confusing world of Twin Peaks! And anyone who hasn't watched it yet, I Highly recommend it!

Good escape room movies?

Well there is people making money with it and I would like to try it at least once. However I was wondering if there is any decent horror movies dealing with this theme or in general a house with booby traps that one has to survive.

I have seen the whole Saw franchise (I might have missed 5 or 6 but I didn't care that much any more after the third).

I have seen Cube, which started interesting enough but low budget apparently meant the focus switched from traps to the internal conflicts. They had to re-use the same room over and over again I heard.
The Bone collector movies have crap stories but entertaining with some great traps.

There is a few movies titled Escape Room (even one this year) but not sure how much horror these are.

Final Round! 

Alright guys, we have our final two movies!

The Terminator vs. A Nightmare on Elm Street!

Vote for your favorite, and let's see which of @box's movies will win!

Did you miss me? Because I missed you!

Hello TrashEpics family!!! I have missed you all! I have been super crazy busy these past two months because of work & school. I'm a bit mad at myself because I didn't finish the turkey challenge, but I did get to watch a few! I also want to thank you all for allowing me to join in the draft halfway in. I'm currently getting ready to prepare for Star Wars while I am in a 3 week course class. I am trying to make time for the site again though!
I still haven't even finished the few episodes of AHS, I know I'm slacking.

Anyways, what are some super scary movies you would recommend? I've seen Terrifier and that one freaked me out a bit... but I've been in the mood to watch horror since I saw the trailer to Black Christmas... yeah that movie looks awful so I want to watch a good horror movie!

Leave me some recommendations, tell me how you guys and gals have been! It'd be great to catch up with you all!

Round 5 of Voting

Hey guys, we are down to our final 3 movies. Friday the 13th was Eliminated last round.

1.) A Nightmare on Elm Street
2.) The Terminator
3.) Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

Vote for the movie you like the most, and agin if you want movies in the next list pm me. The next vote game will be better. This was just a test run! Thank you for sticking with it!

Jumanji Again

The first one wasn't so bad, but the real selling point for me was the inclusion fo Danny Devito in this new one. And not only is this sleazeball in the movie, but he gets sucked into the video game to be in The Rock's body. And the best leading actor goes to Dwayne Johnson AS Danny Devito AS Captain Bravestone.

Plus, you've got Danny Glover who's been playing an old man ever since he was in Lethal Weapon some 30 years ago. What's weird is that he didn't always look like an old man in the same sense as Morgan Freeman, but he tends to play them a lot. It kind of reminds me of in Sanford and Son, how Redd Foxx was only about 50 years old, but he played a 65 year old, just because he was born to play an old man. Just like Danny Glover. When he wakes up in Kevin Hart's body, he really should have said, "I'm too old for this shit," but he didn't. Wasted opportunity. He should work that line into every movie he ever does, as well as any conversation he ever has.

And for raunchy appeal, this movie did have some ball and titty jokes. Karen Gillan's boobs were looking pretty nice in this movie. And they also admire a horse dong in this. Jumanji!
