Twst horror movie taste hcs

A response to smthn in my ask box! I've actually had this in my drafts for over a year!

Riddle

DEFINITELY was not allowed to watch horror movies

I feel like his dormmates have been easing him into the genre a little

He likes Carrie. He finds Carrie White relatable

I feel like Riddle would also like early horror. Universal monsters and maybe a little Hitchcock

But he can't do gore and he isnt a huge fan of slashers

Trey

Casual horror fan. Pretty decent taste

Like he's seen most of the big franchises (Halloween, NOES, Friday the 13th, Scream, Child's Play, etc.)

He seems like either a 70s horror kinda guy or a 90s-2000s horror kinda guy.

Maybe I'm projecting but. I feel like he'd enjoy Black Christmas

Probably secretly enjoys really fucked up insane movies. Curse of science club

Cater

LOVES schlocky slashers

Definitely watches Dead Meat. I feel it in my bones.

Cater likes campy stuff above all. He HAS done a Jennifer Check Halloween costume.

Probably loves The Lost Boys, The Craft, Jennifer's Body, Bride of Chucky, Rocky Horror, all of that fun stuff

Him and Trey have occasional marathons. Sometimes they invite Riddle

Deuce

LOVES HORROR STUFF

Has a tendency to get spooked by it, though

He absolutely loves the Friday the 13th movies.

Has probably done a Billy and Stu costume w Ace

Ace

He's such a wuss but he pretends he isn't

This fuck chooses the scariest shit during horror movie nights and almost pisses his pants

His fav is probably Fright Night. Idk why

Leona

He "doesn't watch movies"

I think he'd fw Chucky though

Ruggie

Black comedy lover

HUGE fan of b-movie franchises like Leprechaun, Gingerdead Man, Evil Bong, etc

I feel like he watches Troma

Avid $5 movie box enthusiast

Jack

I don't think he'd watch any

He gets too upset

Azul

Hes a coward

He really likes movies where the killer gets revenge on their bullies

Idk why but I think he'd fuck with paranormal horror

He likes The Shining. No clue why

Jade

SCARY TASTE BAD TASTE

He's an extreme horror fan

He's seen it ALL

like. Homie can watch the most fucked up shit with a straight face

He recommends Salo at parties. He also is no longer allowed to go to parties.

Floyd

Like Jade.

Fucko will absolutely be like "we shld watch Slaughtered Vomit Dolls!!! I've heard it's really fun" so he doesn't get invited to Halloween parties.

Kalim

Also doesn't watch horror

He gets emotional when certain characters die

He does fw hocus pocus though

Jamil

Also a really graphic horror fan

He probably likes it as projection

He also likes complex psychological stuff. More of a casual fan but has a morbid curiosity with the genre

Really likes "descent into madness" movies

Vil

ARTHOUSE MOVIES

But I feel like Vil wld adore Black Swan specifically. It's a personal callout

Vil likes the darker, artsier vampire movies. They prioritize aesthetic above all else and WILL critique period-inaccurate costuming

But has one rlly campy guilty pleasure franchise. Idk why but I wanna say Sleepaway Camp. Pretends the ending of the first movie doesn't exist.

Rook made her watch Serial Mom and she kinda fucking loved it

Rook

I'm split here. Because this man is a fucking FREAKAZOID

Either he only watches deeply artsy pretentious horror films for the beauty in it

Or he has a collection of "horror" DVDs that are VERY VERY DUBIOUS. And probably real

Whatever. Rook Hunt I recommend The Hunger with David Bowie and Katherine Deneuve because it suits him. Also Hellraiser for graphic gore and also weird erotica.

Also he's a John Waters girlie. I believe it with my whole fucking soul.

Epel

Why do I wanna say Final Destination or Texas Chainsaw Massacre?

Surprised by how much his dormmates actually enjoy bloody horror movies. Despite that, he handles mainstream horror better than he handles Vil's arthouse horror or Rook's whatever the fuck Rook watches

Idia

Category 5 autisms about Perfect Blue

Genuine diehard horror fan. This is canon btw

He has a canon niche horror franchise he made a detailed Halloween cosplay of. This is a fact.

Also. Re-Animator for obvious reasons

Ortho

He is the horror, if you think about it.

Also he watched Videodrome because of the film club and got really into it

Malleus

I can only imagine him watching black and white horror. And distinctly romantic vampire movies

Bride of Frankenstein girlie

Lilia

All of em

ALL. OF. THEM.

Old weird bat man liked horror movies that only 5 people have ever seen. He has the most insane letterboxd page known to man

Silver

He doesn't have much interest in horror as a genre

But maybe Nightmare on Elm Street. Lilia made him watch it

He liked Dream Warriors.

Sebek

Tried to sit through a horror movie because Lilia likes them but he couldn't do it

The 10 horror franchises with the most movies

 Horror movies are typically cheap to produce, yet they yield high rewards. Sequels to popular horror movies are often made because they are profitable.  Sequels to horror movies can be a challenge to filmmakers to come up with new and creative ways to scare audiences. Comedic horror sequels inspired by 80s slashers proved that the two genres could co-exist simultaneously and successfully.

Here are the horror franchises with the most movies:

Dracula: 23 films (1931-2023)

Puppet Master: 15 films (1989-2022)

Halloween: 13 films

Amityville: over 20 films, but not connected as a singular franchise

Friday the 13th: 12 films (1980-2009)

Saw: 9 films

A Nightmare on Elm Street: 9 films

Hellraiser: 10 films

Children of the Corn: 10 films

Leprechaun: 8 films

It's worth noting that different sources may have slightly different rankings and numbers, but these are some of the most commonly cited horror franchises with the most movies.

Okay, fuck it. I'm combining my love of horror movies with my love of Community. Here's what I think the Community characters would think about horror movies:

Abed - since he's already super into movies, he definitely likes horror too. It probably isn't his favourite genre, but he still really likes them. Abed doesn't get scared from horror movies ever and just finds them fascinating. The Saw franchise is amongst his favourites. He also really likes Scream (bc of all the horror movie rules and you can't convince me he wouldn't like Randy) and The Shining. Him and Troy watch a lot of those shitty horror movies to make fun of them as well (they've probably watched all the Friday the 13th movies and all the Leprechaun movies while making fun of them)

Troy - is actually quite scared from watching horror movies, but pretends not to be (it doesn't quite work). He watches them with Abed and overall likes horror enough, but the really scary ones give him nightmares. So Troy prefers the fun ones that are less scary and that he can make fun of. Whenever he and Abed watch a scary one, Troy holds Abed's hand and also probably looks away from the TV at times

Britta - complains about the objectification of women in the horror genre a lot, but ends up complaining about the wrong movies a little too often. Overall I think she'd like those horror movies that have more of a serious message (like the current trend with movies about how rich people suck. Or movies that are about mental health or social issues). I can see her really liking Ready or Not tbh! Probably isn't a huge horror movie person, but likes it from time to time. Isn't scared of horror movies.

Annie - secretly really likes horror even though no one would expect her to (remember her story in Horror Fiction in Seven Spooky Steps? That girl absolutely has seen some graphic horror movies)! Watches them from time to time and likes the scarier, more gorier ones. Isn't her favourite genre, but Annie loves a good horror story!

Jeff - claims horror movies are dumb and the characters in every single one of them are stupid. He claims he doesn't want to waste time watching that crap, but in reality he doesn't want to admit that they kinda scare him.

Shirley - probably likes those demon movies where a Christian priest saves the day. Has also canonically watched some Hellraiser movies so like idk what to make of her actually. Does she seem like someone who'd watch Hellraiser? Anyway she's not scared of horror movies and probably likes them well enough overall. I feel like she probably doesn't like slasher movies though

SUMMARY: An evil, sadistic leprechaun goes on a killing rampage in search of his beloved pot of gold.

[giraffepoliceforce]

I started a podcast with my friend Todd called Franchise Fiends where we do deep dives into classic (and otherwise) slasher films. We're working on our first season (Chucky) now but in the meantime we're releasing some holiday specials, starting with Leprechaun in the Hood for St. Patrick's Day.

It would mean a lot if you gave it a listen!

Spooky Season 2024: 1

If the Christmas lovers can start in October, I can start Halloween in August!

Leprechaun (dir. Mark Jones, 1993)

A friend and I inaugurated the spooky season with a viewing of Leprechaun, a schlocky masterpiece of glorious stupidity that Warwick Davis swallows whole.

Basically, a sadistic leprechaun with a shit-eating grin is mad a bunch of humans stole his gold. He terrorizes a quartet of innocents in a remote shack located somewhere in New Mexico. Many goofy, gory shenanigans ensue, the best involving a pogo stick as a murder weapon.

Leprechaun comes off like a Disney Channel original movie crossed over with slasher nonsense. It's definitely not for kids, but it has-- kid movie vibes, I guess? It's more a comedy than anything. I howled with laughter throughout. You can definitely tell the filmmakers were in on the joke.

The shining star is Warwick Davis as the world's nastiest leprechaun. He is a delight every time he's onscreen with his shit-eating grin. I can see how they squeezed a whole franchise out of this character.

All in all, a great way to start the season!
