![]() ![]() Grave Encounters (2011) is a great found footage movie. But that’s just me.Īs soon as I posted my “ Found Footage Fest” post, I realized I’d forgotten to include Grave Encounters! I just hope someone creates a good modern horror anthology TV series. With the recent announcement that Trick ‘R Treat 2 is going to happen and relatively favorable reviews for All Hallows’ Eve, anthology horror could become a more lucrative subgenre. I think there is a lot of promise in the anthology horror genre. I never got around to writing my Double Feature post about this and its predecessor but it goes without saying that I prefer the sequel over the original. I just want to reiterate how impressed I was with it. So I won’t spend much time talking about it here. I wrote about V/H/S/2 in Part I of this series. If you have an appreciation for Halloween or if you are yourself passionate about anything at all, you owe it to yourself to watch this documentary. The doc focuses all of its energy on the people and how their passion consumes them (occasionally at the expense of their loved ones). The documentary follows three groups of people in the town who live in relatively close proximity but there’s no competition to it. It just felt like a true depiction of these people and their passion. None of it felt like the documentary crew set things up. What impressed me the most about The American Scream was that none of it felt artificial. It’s from the director of the highly acclaimed (and as of yet unwatched by me, unfortunately) Best Worst Movie. These people spend all of their free time working toward making the best displays they can. The American Scream is a documentary about three families in a small Massachusetts town who are passionate about converting their homes into haunted attractions for Halloween. So let’s get to the list, shall we? It’s Halloween, so here are some streaming recommendations to make the holiday even better. ![]() If you’re ever at a convention and have a chance to meet him, I highly recommend it. ![]() We had such a great time talking to him and can’t thank him enough. I’d also like to thank my friend Pat for joining us on the Zombie episode of The Obsessive Viewer Podcast.įinally, I would like to thank John Dugan from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (1994) and Texas Chainsaw 3D (2013) for letting us interview him on the podcast. I’d also like to thank my friends Mike ( and Tiny ( for contributing so much content this month. Hopefully it will make up for the way I’ve been neglecting my Streaming Saturday recommendations this month.īefore I get started, though, I want to thank everyone for indulging me as I let my horror fandom take control of the blog and the podcast. Seeing as Halloween is now upon us and I’ve committed myself to writing four “Days of Blood” posts, I figured I would devote the fourth and final post to some of the better (and more recent) horror and horror-adjacent titles available to stream on Netflix.
