Seasonal Events Sanctum Samhain Seasonal Spectacular

[JamesMartin]

Happy Halloween Sanctum

(I hope you like the cat, her name is Lucyfur.)

As long-time dwellers will know, here in your Sanctum, the spookiest season is the most wonderful time of the year—and with the season, come a series of events.

First, a quick reminder of our lovely seasonal haunted theme.

Second, a pair of seasonal threads!!!

A costume thread, for, well, all your threads.

And a decor thread, for pumpkins, decorations and other seasonal selections.

Last of all, however, is our long tradition of Halloween movie streams.

As a few of you know, I have a deep and abiding love for horror movies and every October, I run multiple streams, usually one every Saturday, for 12+ hours.

This year, I have planned for three themes. Divided so those who have firm limits on horror know whether they are in the clear. Suggestions are encouraged!!!

1. Scary — For horror movies that are actually horrifying. This is obviously subjective, but my main criteria is "would a person who hates horror be mad if I showed them this?"

2. "Sissy" — For Horror comedies, classics and others that simply aren't going to scare anyone

3. Obscure — New this year, this is for horror movies that are a little off the beaten track. Smaller, more obscure, forgotten. Oh and I might work in some arthouse horror (Suspiria anyone?) for the real horror nerds amongst you (you are my favourite people)

A shorter stream of horror classics might also be running on Halloween itself.

Enjoy the season Sanctum!!!!!!

Sissy movies- Young Frankenstein, Dracula-dead and loving it, CLUE(such a fav), The Ghost and Mr. Chicken, Watcher in the Woods, The Burbs, Death Becomes Her, 90's Addams Family movies, Practical Magic, Ernest Scared Stupid, Tremors, Little Shop of Horrors. Those off the top of my head, I might come back with more.

 

[GremlinSage]

I don't know how to categorize them but;

• Hell House Origins, LLC (there's 3 of them, each are found footage. First one is great, second is meh and third one is really good)
• The Witch: Subversion and The Witch: Part 2 - The Other One (Korean Horror)
• 13 Ghosts

Free YT Gems I found that weren't so bad

• Dark Light (Not the best gem I found but not terrible either)
• Patient Seven (psychological horror)
• Savageland (mock documentary psychological horror)

 

[SapphireXx]

For Sissy movies: Halloween Town, Hocus Pocus

For Scary/Obscure movies: As Above So Below, Paranormal Activity

 

[Praxis]

For obscure, I always feel compelled to recommend Possum. It's really atmospheric, and largely unsettling throughout.

Men is newer, and I'm not really sure what category to put that in. Worth watching at the very least.

I goon for found-footage (like, all of it), and I think the original Blair Witch still stands, damn it.

 

[Zelluz]

I have yet to finish the 3rd Hell House. Pretty good, agreed 2nd was meh.

I'm not sure where all the below would be, some forgets, some classic, others place where you wish.

* In The Mouth of Madness

• The Serpent and The Rainbow
• As Above So Below

• Psycho
• The Birds
• Crimson Peak
• Nightbreed
• Trick or Treat

• Grave Encounters (there's 2)
• 13 Ghosts

*House On Haunted Hill. (The 1959 Vincent Price has that classic feel. 1999 version just as great as its predecessor. Not to be confused with Mike Flanagans Netflix mini series)

Thata all I got rummaging through my brain right now.

 

[WhatISeemIAm]

Voting for The Beyond and Cemetary Man. Probably in obscure. The Gate is a good sissy-horror entry.
