Guys, what are your favourite horror themed podcasts?
I only listen to 2 podcasts at the moment. My all-time favourite is without question is Horrormoviepodcast. Those guys a like family to me, haha. Mostly an intimate and serious discussion of current movies or themed episodesby the four hosts. Their sister podcast Moviepodcastweekly is great (and more chaotic), too. For fans by fans!
Horror News Radio. Profound and often heated discussions by usually five hosts that also are very active in the horror community, doing film fests and such stuff.

I can't recommend it enough, especially for horror fans.

The fledgling video podcast Bitches of Horror on YouTube (though I'm admittedly biased here).
Otherwise the bloodcast and killer POV are great

I need some help guys, would you consider the following titles horror?
-The Green Room
-The Shallows
-The Invitiation
-The Green Room
-The Shallows
-The Invitiation
Yes to all three, although the first is heavy leaning on drama/thriller in the vein of something like Panic Room or Don't Breathe
Thriller horror. Yes.

I wouldn't consider The Shallows horror. It's a (wo)man vs nature survival thriller, like The Edge and The Grey

Horror is such a broad genre (almost a metagenre, really) that I'd say yes.

Awesome, thanks for the responses guys. I've now got my list for next month whittled down to 40 movies.

Now, that picked my interest, as I really enjoyed those two. I wonder if a shark flick can match their quality?
Speaking of survival films, I don't recommend Into the Grizzly Maze (2015). I watched it solely because of this hilarious review...
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1694021/reviews
...but unfortunately it was nowhere near as good for me as it was for him. It's beyond me why they used awful CGI, since they had Bart the Bear like The Edge.

Oh well, I was already getting excited about the idea of getting to see a good survival film. It's kinda like two other favorite sub-genres of mine, sci-fi horror and werewolf films, when it's good it's really good, but there are only few good ones among the piles of garbage.

Seeing Blair Witch this Thursday, woot! Had suspicions that The Woods might be Wingard/Barrett's play on The Blair Witch way back. So that was reason enough to be excited.
Recently watched...
The Disappointments Room-- Note: went in with super low expectations, not knowing anything. The title seemed silly, so why not? Found it to be really well done in the end. It avoided all major horror movie tropes and it was actually more of a family drama than scary movie. Recommended if you want something different and light. Oh yeah, and this might be Kate Beckinsale's best performance yet. She sold me on every note here.
Disorder (Maryland)-- Thought it would be a fun action flick, but actually was really well done suspense that had me on edge by the end. Minor to no gore or violence, everything is practical and common sense. They did a great job with subtleties and music.
Neither Heaven Nor Earth-- It's more of a mystery drama with thriller elements that don't come to fruition. And it's totally ok because it's one of those movies that could well have originated from The Twilight Zone.
The Conjuring 2-- no link needed Loved it, looking back. At first thought it was a bit hoaky with the old man bit and all. But after soaking it in more, really appreciated its style. The entire scene where
was brilliant, imo.
2. no
3. yes

The Shallows was tense fun. Watch it. Not sure about matching The Edge, but better you don't set up benchmarks beforehand.

Watched it a little while back, not bad. When I first read the premise I was reminded of:
Lesbie Bibb was also in
I know right.
This is such an interesting question. I'd call The Green Room and The Invitation horror, but not The Shallows. I can't tell you exactly why. I think it's a matter of tone. I wouldn't call any of the Jaws or Piranha movies horror either.
It might be the lack of malicious intention. It's very hard to make animals feel "evil", although Cujo - which I haven't seen - seems to be easily categorised as horror. No idea if that's a supernatural dog. I believe it's just a big, rabid one. But I think horror requires something either malicious, or inscrutable and confusing. Mental illness, and disease which disrupts behaviour, is frequently horrific for the latter reason. I think there needs to be a fear of something evil intrinsic to the tone of the film, or of something whose motivations are unsettlingly unclear.
I'd be interested to read the thoughts of others on this. What defines the line between horror and thriller? Silence of the Lambs feels like a thrilling horror. Seven feels like a horrifying thriller. I think few would disagree with those labels, but I can't put my finger on what differentiates the two.

I still blame Robot Chicken for spoiling that ending just before I was going to see it for the first time.
Does anyone know where I could watch an animal-cruelty free version of Cannibal Holocaust online? I want to add it to my horror marathon list, but have been able to only find the fully uncut version, and that's the one thing I won't put up with in my horror flicks.

Marketing, mostly. How is the movie marketed? How do the filmmakers talk about it?
Genre boundaries, by definition, tend to be fuzzy.
(But then, I hate the use of "horror" as a noun to describe horror movies, so take this with a grain of salt, I guess.)
Maybe not not The Shallows i guess? but still, all amazing movies, especially The Green Room, that movie has a sense of dread that 99% of modern horror can only wish they achieved
Oh man I don't know why I laughed at that but I found it kind of funny. Is the end product compelling?
Do we know if Blair Witch is a traditional film or found footage? It looks like they jump between both which is incredibly annoying.
Looks like a Swery game lol
You definitely won't like the version on Shudder.
From Wikipedia -
Horror is a film genre seeking to elicit a negative emotional reaction from viewers by playing on the audience's primal fears
By that count, Shallows and Jaws match.
Fwiw, I agree with it (yet at the same time, is still likely too broad a definition).
It's all found footage
exactly, scream queens is just a fun show thats hard to not enjoy lol
and as for ash vs evil dead, well if theres anyone out there who doesnt like it.. then gtfo lol
Yea, loved it!
Demon bashing fun. Watch is asap.
Also, if you want something a little more experimental, look up Demon's Rook.
pretty done

-thriller but I guess if you consider Jaws horror then this could be, I don't

I've seen all three and I didn't think any were horror. First two are worth watching I suppose but The Invitation goes nowhere. I was waiting for a twist the whole time and it never came, just a very straight forward movie. Also doesn't help that Daario Naharis is as bland as ever.
Wow, you really thought that? Huh, I felt like it was hardly straight forward (few red herrings) and the very end being an actual twist considering how the central characters feel (and what they went through) juuuuust before the reveal.
Blair Witch movie in the morning? that's not very scary

Since we're bragging, I'm quite proud of getting this, especially since the price of the steelbook is usually around $90. I paid much less for it.

I hate seeing horror in theaters with other people. Nothing but obnoxious teens who rather make fun of and talk loudly throughout

If the big twist was that there was actually
hundreds/thousands of other invitations and incidents
I thought The Gift was much better than any of the three thriller movies the guy was initially talking about, so I'll give it a random plug.

Little fuckers should be in school
I'm here on a cloudy drizzling day, in my horror memorabilia adorned theater room, listening to the Creepshow soundtrack and it's got me thinking.
What was the last contemporary horror film that had a truly memorable soundtrack? Something that's as villainous, menacing, sinister as the evil in the film it's playing in? Something that sticks with you in that dreadful, awful, awesome way.
