Random Bullshit / Re: ECHO... Echo... echo...

Well better to take your time and get it the way you want "the first time" rather than having to go back and tweak this and twist that because you wanted to hit some arbitrary deadline for something that didn't necessarily need it.

So all the shoulder stuff has been sorted out. I got an MRI and apparently it is bursitis... doc got kind of disappointed when I turned down all his shots and pills. "Well what did you expect?" Oh I don't know, how about some PT exercises like everything online says you should try first?

Oh, btw... I actually have a copy of B.O.R.N on VHS... but don't think I've ever seen the movie.

It's a surprisingly solid movie. Pretty dark feel at times. Only big issue is P.J. Soles, who does feel a bit goofy, but Russ Tamblyn does fantastic with his character.

Now, naturally, this may just be another of my odd quirks, but I did think the movie was pretty good, so if you ever have the desire, check it out.

Katie Irving - "I Never Dreamed Someone Like You (Could Love Someone Like Me)"

Have to admit, I don't remember this one, but then again, I only watch Carrie when I have to. Definitely a solid song.

I find certain songs and movies together elevate one another. The link you gave for "Fade to Black" doesn't work for me, maybe it's location restricted, but I concur for that one.

These other two immediately come to mind.

Frank Sparks - "Melissa"

Katie Irving - "I Never Dreamed Someone Like You (Could Love Someone Like Me)"

Forgot one.

From Neon Maniacs, we have "Baby Lied" by Rick Bowles, another rather catchy song.

Music / Best songs from horror films

Last post by Jigsaw - July 17, 2022, 01:05:39 AM

And I'm not talking the greatest themes here, such as Halloween's classic theme.

For instance, Prom Night end with a depressive song titled "Fade to Black" by Gordene Simpson.

The Orphan (1979) is not a good movie. It's far more a drama than it is a horror. However, it does have the song "I Need to Live Alone Again" by Janis Ian (of "At Seventeen" fame).

From the criminally underrated B.O.R.N. (1989), also known under the title Merchants of Death, there's a fantastic song titled "How Do You Begin" by Jenifer Smith Meisner.

Lastly, lets end with an up-beat song. From Blacula, we have the insanely catchy "There He Is Again" by The Hues Corporation. Believe me, this went to my iTunes immediately.

What are some of your favorite songs from horror films?

The Black Phone was an absolute gem for modern horror. Blows my mind that nobody on any horror forum has ever even mentioned this movie.

Heard a decent amount of positive things about it on Twitter, but it's hard to separate the genuine praise from the "this-is-a-new-movie-and-I-don't-want-to-say-anything-negative-about-it-in-fear-of-bothering-people" vibe.

Though, I do know, from some people I do trust when it comes to horror, that they had a good time with it.

I tend to disregard many new horror movies but I always try to give some the benefit of the doubt. This was the best one I've seen in years, probably. More of a supernatural thriller with a major horror vibe, though. Still a very solid flick and one to check out when the chance arises.

I would not go as far as to say I spammed it, but hey, whatever works. 

Actually, I do feel the need to clarify, just to sate my curiosity - are you the Jason from California? I'd suspect so (I can't think of many others I know with the screen-name), but I wasn't sure.

Either way, happy that you're here, and look forward to you popping in every now and again.

That would be me. But we gotta get some good smilies in this place. Lol
