Daily Horror Scavenger Hunt – August 2018

25. a Lucio Fulci movie

This film is phenomenal and I will physically fight anyone who disagrees. Although it's from 1980, the gore remains effective and the atmosphere is genuinely creepy as it works alongside the eerie soundtrack. The bleeding from the eyes actually made me feel more uneasy than I thought it would. I found it interesting to know that coffee was spilt on the original ending print so Fulci had to make another ending with the footage he had already.

The Haunting of Hill House is one of the best series I've ever seen. I didn't know it would be that fucking good. I didn't know it would take me through so many intense emotions, which demonstrates the incredible range of the horror genre. My heart actually aches after that last episode. Perfect cast, amazing story, beautifully shot - it's very haunting and profound. The fact episode 6 is made up of solely 5 long takes is just remarkable!

I really love Paris Hilton. The sooner people realise she's a smart businesswoman the better. She invented influencer culture.

Fuck

I think Garland has a great gift for taking something beautiful and making it terrifying - and that's essentially the basis of The Shimmer. Even the flowers/plants who are growing into shapes of people look astoundingly beautiful, yet absolutely frightening at the same time because of the idea behind it. The visuals vs the atmosphere in this film are just insanely perfect.
