Not salad, but I have been known to do this with pizza! Fries, obvs. Will report back on chicken wings.

Verbinski or Nakata, The Ring is dumb and not scary.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a chore to get through in one sitting. I've never done it.

Haute Tension est merde

Guillermo del Toro bores me (kinda interested in Frankenstein remake somewhat)

The Autopsy of Jane Doe is shit

I would be happy with never seeing Nic Cage in another horror movie. He sucks in them.

Wolf Creek is crap

Friday the 13th...whatever

Child's Play 👎

The Black Phone...don't answer

The Babadookie

Scream...don't care

Pinhead looks silly. Least terrifying least sexy cenobite.

Army of Fartness
Martyrs?

Looks so fucking grim, I’ve never had the guts to watch.

Interesting target. He get’s progressively worse, and I don’t think I’ve even seen his big hit Buena Vista Social Cllub, but shit like Alice in the Cities, Paris, TX, and American Friend are great films in my estimation. I like that first angel movie too

Agree with this.

But not with this. I slept with the light on for two nights after watching. Never happens.
I thought both were just really cool. They both seem like fairly well realized examples of the spooky fun that mainstream horror can be with a subtle twist.

The Ring false ending: "She just needed to find peace, oh shit no she's a fucking monster" angle on The Ring was cool. As was the "watching this video can kill you" kind of meta bit was good. And who can forget answering the phone and pulling an incredibly long hair out of her throat? Or being chased by a horse on a ferry. Lots of memorable images.

Martyrs is a fine and extreme movie, but I'd steer far away from the American remake.

I have problems with Laugier's Incident in a Ghostland which I find cruel and transphobic. Never watched The Tall Man.

My main issue with The Babadook, which I readily admit is my own stupid hangup, is the whole is this haunting really happening or is it only in my head with it ultimately being in the protagonist's head. That kid was also super annoying. The shrill sound of a child screaming makes me want to shake them like an etch-a-sketch 😐 There were some creepy elements though! Just over hyped.

The acting in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre also riddles me with anxiety. I understand it's importance and appreciate the aesthetics, but the actors and dialogue are exhausting in its quieter moments.
Justice for Dexter Wade and Nakari Campbell

Welp, I guess I don't need to watch The Babadook now. A spoiler alert would have been appropriate...
No spoiler given imo.
