Horror Film of the Year! Ring vs The Grudge

[Andy]

OK so horror movie mashups don't have a great track record - Alien v Predator, Freddy Vs Jason but ....

For any fans of Asian Horror this has to be the film of the year ... 

Let's see Sadako and Kayako, two of the freakiest creations ever to come out of Japan, face off against each other!

@caseyb1993 you definitely need to watch this! It's out in Japan in June but there's no news on a UK release yet ... if it doesn't we definitely need to come up with a money making scheme to get us to Tokyo in time! 😄

So what do you think of the John Lewis ad this year? Caused a bit of a Twitter battle, so I'm not expecting you to agree, but I really like it. Moz reminds me of Ludo from Labyrinth, which I LOVE

and I think every child should watch monster movies at Christmas! So I say bring it on, Moz today, Gremlins tomorrow! 👹

@Andy Sorry.... I wasn't really that impressed with it this year. 😞

The one advert I look forward too as well. 😞

Don't get me wrong, Moz is lovely but it just didn't wow me like the previous ones.

These two will always be my favourites:

@caseyb1993 I knew you'd say that! I never agree with populist opinion 😞

Vive la difference! 😄

@Andy Give it a few days and it will probably win me round. 😄

I'm hoping to get my hands on Kevin the carrot this year!

@caseyb1993 Eek!!! You're psychic!! Cos I was just thinking this afternoon that I haven't got round to watching it yet and I really must - so no 😞 ... but it is on my mind! 🙂

I was distracted by finding out thatTubiTV on the Roku are currently streaming two Dario Argento's classics for free  -Phenomena and Suspiria, both horror classics well worth a watch (everyone should see Suspiria at some point!) and I've got a particular soft spot for Phenoma so I started watching that!!

They've got Plan 9 from Outer Space if you fancy a B-movie blast as well! 😄

@caseyb1993 OOOOO, getting my own back ... did you get to the end of the first half of old IT??!!?? ... bet you haven't!!!! 

[caseyb1993]

@Andy I sort of got into the adult half, I'm up to the bit where Tim Curry is having a laughing fit on that banister. Lol.

I had to stop it as someone came round.

How long of the thing is left to go???

Hope you watch it soon as it is really good. The music is quite eerie. 😮

One of my favourite silent movies and I haven't seen that many. 🙂

@caseyb1993 I was going to watch one of the versions of YouTube eg https://youtu.be/vElsIYXbhMU

Just have a quick 30 second gander see if it's the proper music it's got on it will ya?

Blimey, not sure which bit that is, is it in one of the flashbacks to where they were before they all jumped on a plane to go back to Derry? I'm vaguely thinking at Bill's house? Can't remember exactly where it is but each half is 90 mins long! Did you get to my favourite line in the film ... "kiss me ..." (If you can't finish off the line you haven't got to it yet! 😄

So did you give up on kids half? I really like all that half, the adults drags a bit, altho I suppose it's got interest to you as you already know the kids half sorta from new IT.

[caseyb1993]

I'm sure this is the one that is on our DVD.

The quality isn't brilliant but the start of it sounds like ours. 

I think there are 3 versions in total with different music that were released  within a couple of years. 1925,27 and 29 I think. 

Kiss me Fatboy!! 

To be honest I can't remember if that was before or after as we had some drinks as well 😄

I survived the kids half actually 🙂 . I was saving the second half for another day. 🙂

Scratch that @Andy the unmasking music is different.
