The Power of Shazam! (1994): Part 1

Words and art: Jerry Ordway


I have split the graphic novel into half as posting thirty-odd pages (one third of a ninety-something page book) at once was too much for me.

The Sadness

Posted by /u/Dismal_Yogurt3499

I always try to go into horror movies blind, and that was a big mistake for this one. Holy fuck this is an insane movie. I've seen all the gory classics. Serbian Film, snuff 102, martyrs, 120 days, hostel, August underground, etc. and this really does top the list for me.

This was easily the most gory, disturbing, gross movie I've ever seen. It felt really low budget from the beginning and usually that helps me detach from the content and take it less seriously, but this movie really did keep me engaged and felt more and more real as the film went on.

Right now i just feel really weird about what i just watched. I wish it wasn't so obsessed with rape, though I understand it does fit the narrative of "what's the most depraved thing anyone could do in this situation." I really love and hate the concept that nobody is immune. Everybody will eventually be infected even if you are "immune".

Recommendations

Posted by /u/YerMawNDa

Was watching Aliens and Event Horizon recently and I'm in the mood for movies where a rescue/investigation group of characters go to a location where the horror has already happened to another group of people.

The rescue team slowly find out what's happened to the original team before all hell breaks loose and they're now trapped in this location and need to escape.

Movies I love where this happens, Aliens, Event Horizon, The Thing

Horror movies like the stepfather (1987)

Looking for movies like the stepfather (1987) where the focus of the movie is the main villain slowly growing more unhinged and letting their mask slip throughout the movie

Biarritz

Last night I successfully got the jersey I wanted for my team, and many of the people I wanted to draft to my team, and here we are:

Team Lanzarote, just after being drafted

(except one guy who'd wandered off, I'll try to get another group photo with him in at some point, but that one is beautiful; look at those gorgeous jerseys and that sunset sky)

I am so happy with this team. I put in some time and effort to read through the draft grid and make my first-and-second choice selections, and I switched things up as I spoke to people before and during the draft, and in response to how our draft order went on each round. I know I have a bunch of good people, both on and off the ice. In particular I got my captain from last year Sean, who is also the only person here this year who has been on my team in both the previous years. I instantly made him my A, and he's been a delight in the role already.

Three (short) games today and three tomorrow, to see whether I'm as good at picking and running a team as I think I am ...

Cringe Hell House LLC: Lineage "meltdown" response from Joe Dain of Terror Films Releasing.

Posted by /u/be_kind_of

"Hey Gang! Joe Dain here again of Terror Films Releasing. I was off the radar most of the day, only to come on and see the melt down on this page and across Reddit and multiple social media platforms after my post from the other day where I requested that those who hated the new Hell House LLC use their words in a constructive way and to show some grace when leaving a negative comment. And yes, I even requested you consider leaving Rotten Tomatoes for those who enjoyed the movie while asking that you left your negative comments elsewhere. Seems this touched a nerve and made many of you truly have an emotional meltdown.
For those calling it a "bad" PR move, let me shed some light. We saw the critic reviews and we had an early sense of audience reviews. We knew many fans weren't happy but the ship had sailed and there was no turning back. What I posted yesterday WAS A PR move, a strategic one. And guess what happened, the internet BLEW UP. More people are talking about the film now than we could have imagined across Reddit, IMBD, Rotten Tomatoes, TikTok and more.
The frenzy of those so appalled by my request has set off a tidal wave of chatter about the film, bringing it attention at the highest level so far, well beyond all of the promotions we've done to date and garnering interest from horror fans to want to see the film due to the heated debate!
As the saying goes, there is NO SUCH THING AS BAD PRESS! But as a reminder, I attached a promo with a good handful of quotes from critics who did like it! To our Hell House LLC Fanatics, we love you! To the haters, THANK YOU for all of the free PR! Gotta make lemons out of lemonade. Or in this case, some delicious Fried Green Tomatoes out off those squashed tomatoes! HA!
So, thank you again! Not only did my request accomplish a fire storm of online forum conversations, next week we will be launching some fun promotions with the bad reviews.
Hell House LLC: Lineage is now playing in theaters! Get your tickets and see what's got everyone so worked up!"

Sourced from their Facebook

Thanks, I'll pass.

After watching Eden Lake, these types of movies are definitely not for me…

Posted by /u/Nem3sis2k17

These types of movies where there is 0 justice or payoff. Like Martyrs, finishing this just made me kinda wish I never watched it to begin with. I adore horror movies, but the ones that just put the characters and viewers through misery with no justice whatsoever is not it; I don’t care how “realistic” it is. It’s not impactful to me, it’s just cruel. I’m not taking anything away from this except that I will never watch it again.

It was a good movie, I guess. Can’t say anything I think is specifically wrong with it (outside of criticism of the boyfriend’s decision making), even the ending. I just hate it but I figured something like that was gonna happen.

I just don’t understand the appeal I guess? Like I said I probably would have much more positive thoughts if she at least got away. Now I just feel like I wasted my team watching this couple suffer for no payoff. That’s just torture porn to me.

This isn’t to say I always hate endings where everyone dies/ the villain wins. A lot of times those are fun/entertaining. It’s just these types, in particular, where it just seems like the point is to make innocent characters suffer and then get no justice in the end. I don’t see why anyone would want to watch it again OR recommend it to anyone.

Need suggestions

Posted by /u/ohyEAH20

Currently on maternity leave, which means I’m up most of the day taking care of our newest addition. I’m looking for some suggestions on favorite horror films to watch during this time. I enjoy a variety of horror, but particularly enjoy a non human antagonist, unless the antagonist is cult-like in nature. I also am subscribed to a variety of streaming services. Thank you in advance for your suggestions!

mother!

Posted by /u/Impressive-Cod-7103

So I just watched this movie, partially inspired by other posters who watched and posted about it recently. I remember when it came out and I wanted to see it, and I’m glad I did, but idk man, I don’t think it qualifies as a horror movie. It’s just kinda typical Darren Aronofsky slow burn first two acts, makes you feel kinda unsettled in the third act. Wanted to talk about it here because here is where I’ve most recently seen it mentioned.

I absolutely LOVE creature features and it feel like it been forever since we actually got one that wasn’t straight to streaming. Maybe it’s just my monkey-brain kicking in but nothing gets me as spooked as a good cast running from some beastie trying to turn them into lunch. And a giant Snake to boot?? Sign me up!

Duh. Finally figured it out

It came to me in one of those flashes of insight; something that probably should have been obvious. So, after a very long time of trying to figure out why I get such bad muscle cramps in the hot summer, and getting no answers from any doctors either, it's now clear -- it's my asthma. Not getting enough oxygen = sweating more in the heat = dehydration = muscle cramps.

Yeah, I feel kind of dumb for not figuring it out before. I just never tied the two together because most of the time I don't have any noticeable breathing issues, it's only when the humidity gets into the high 90s and I'm not in the A/C. I started thinking about how muscles need oxygen, so then I did some research and found out that asthma can indeed lead to more sweating. So, controlling my asthma should also help with the heat issues.

Today was a much better day because with that further knowledge, I prepared better. Explained to my co-worker that I have asthma so I can't do as much physical stuff as her in this heat and didn't push myself as much as I used to. Yeah, I took some medicine, too. No cramps at all today!

Weird dream channel

I had a very strange dream last night. It wasn't the content that made it strange — it was a fairly standard thriller/rom-com, featuring Japanese gangsters and a trip to Hawaii. What made it strange (for my dreams at any rate) was that I wasn't in the dream at all. The entire dream was in third person, like I was watching a movie. In fact, this dream started Ralph Macchio and Marisa Tomei!

Millennial Horror-Comedies

Posted by /u/SurfsUpMmm

I’m working on a bonus episode for my podcast and I really wanna have a conversation about the best/ most iconic horror comedies to be released during millennials’ formative years. I’m thinking about roughly 1995-2015ish.

In addition, I’d love to read a word or two about why you’d choose your pick over others. extra credit if you can connect it to broad themes in those years/ common millennial attitudes.
