Speaking of this, have you ever happened to read that old King short story where the couple goes on vacation or something and they stay overnight in this town where, as the folklore goes, it rains frogs on that particular date every 10 years?

I'm a little fuzzy on the details, been a long time since I read it; and I think there might even been a tv episode (some horror anthology series) made of it...but I remember being impressed as hell by that story; I always thought, in the right hands, it could be a great horror movie.

I remember the story but don't recall which anthology it was from. Never saw a video of it but that does not mean it does not exist.

I'm a HUUUGE Horror fan and would like to get other people's opinions on some of the best horror movies on Netflix. Gimme some options people!

I live in Norway where the Netflix selection is rather small so I don't use it. But I am sure Faceless can suggest something.

However I suggest you go back through the thread some. Lots of good suggestions and hidden gems amongst the rubble. Also some good reads in the reviews.

A funny coincidence, I came across this article today; Tons of stuff to debate here; don't even get me started on Needful Things, one of my guilty pleasures.

I will say this: Kubrick's The Shining, while starring my all time favorite actor (Nicholson) and being visually beautiful, made a fatal mistake - Kubrick made Jack crazy right from the get-go. There could be no sympathy, no empathy. You knew he had an unlikable loose screw immediately.

Throw in the fact that Shelly Duvall was a disastrous miscast and that's the ballgame.

All in my humble opinion, of course.

Anyway, this is a great list; check it out.

Every Stephen King Movie, Ranked From Worst to Best

http://www.vulture.com/2017/08/every-stephen-king-movie-ranked-from-worst-to-best.html?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Vulture - August 1, 2017&utm_term=Subscription List - Vulture (1 Year)

Not bad. I agree on Needfull Things. Under rated tale. The movie was spotty but still good.

However the list has Cujo (I found it boring), Thinner (poorly done an already weak story), and Dreamcatcher (great cast wasted. Aliens explode out of your ass?!? WTF?!?) rated way too high.

I saw a list with 90+ of worst to first King a few years ago. It comprehensively included every short video, sequel, and tv episode King related. Fun read but tracing Children of the Corn 6 back to King is a bit of a stretch.

You watch any of this show Blood Drive???
Just wondering if it's worth DVRing to catch up on the series.

Funny you mention that, I just recently heard about it...SyFy Channel and I have a love/hate relationship. Promos I saw looked pretty good, tho.


I understand the love/hate thing. This Sharknado week Shit show....Wow.

The show is put out by Grindhouse.....how bad could it be???

Tomorrow begins with DinoShark at 5 freakin' A.M.

Excluding Lake Placid, the run ends with Planet of the Sharks at 9 P.M.

It is a veritable fucking Shark Fest. :yes::yes::yes:

Schedule


Damn, i had no idea there were so many shitty shark movies.
And it seems there are like 2 or 3 people who seem to be in all of them.

Watching Bobs Burgers right now on Cartoon network....

Cleveland Brown is upset about that; he wishes you'd have watched his show instead.

In any event, we need your horror expertise back on this thread, sir; there is a new guy out there begging for Netflix advice.

Of course, I advised

It's what I do; and I am the best at what I do. ;)

That's good. The Cabin in the woods was pretty damn good.....in a not cheesey way.
