Not sure if it makes a difference but this is 100% a comedy that just happens to be about a group of friends of who happen to like horror movies. It’s delightfully weird at times but it’s for sure *at most* horror-adjacent; it’s very much just a huge-hearted comedy.

I’m around 2-3 years late in this but my wife and I watched the HBO series Los Espookys over the last week and thought it was delightful. Super twee and funny / charming. Season 2 reportedly finished filming earlier this year so I’m glad we’re catching it late so we don’t have to wait super long for more episodes.

Oh yeah, I mean I totally picked up a copy, but ugh $50 still 😂

Starting to pop up places. ($50! Ugh) https://www.importcds.com/smashing-pumpkins-siamese-dream/5099967928910 also on popmarket for same price.

Only $1 more (since Walmart shows sold out) if you use the DEEP10 discount code for 10% off. (+ you have to pay shipping - boo) https://www.deepdiscount.com/mellon-collie-and-the-infinite-sadness/5099997855316

Yeah, it’s crazy unnerving, really effective and unsettling. Glad I finally checked it out, definitely wanted a shower afterwards 😂

I’d missed checking out The Poughkeepsie Tapes when it was briefly on Shudder, but saw it had popped up on Prime so gave it a watch. 😬

This is certainly filtered through 20+ years of my shitty memory, but based on my friends in high school in the late 90's: Goth girls + nu-metal was mostly pretty bro-y = niche but dedicated popularity

This feels like a decent deal for all three of the Dark Souls soundtracks on 2LP (x3) splatter vinyl, (like $95) but admittedly I’m terrible about keeping up with these sorts of things: https://spacelab9.com/collections/featured-products/products/ds_soundtrack_bundle

I kind of realized I would likely never be in the mood so I just went ahead and took the plunge.

I saw that earlier. And then I couldn't for the life of me even remember anything of that soundtrack (I only remember when the blonde is singing) and decide that probably didn't warrant dropping $30. I watched The Sadness a bit ago (which is coming to Shudder in a week or so) and it's a lot. Like, *a lot* a lot. It certainly is not for the squeamish, and if you have buttons to press it'll certainly press them. I don't know how I feel about it - it's effective, but a rough watch. I have other thoughts but they get a spoiler-y.

And this is all from shipping directly from Tyler's store? I guess I lucked out, as mine is flawless - it's been a minute since it showed up, but I could have sworn I was even pleased with the packing...

I'm surprised but elated that Luna won - already placed my order for it.

Totally worth just waiting in my opinion - it's good, but it doesn't warrant crazy rushing.

I think at this point the UK-only Acid Mothers Temple reissue is the only thing I still want. Was happy to see the UK-only Hefner release pop-up on Discogs through a Canadian store that had media mail shipping available so was able to get that for relatively cheap.

lol - a number of pages back i'd commented on this one: "I can see this one being *really* divisive in the horror scene though, especially because I think the the trailer gives a really incorrect impression of what you’re going to see." I enjoyed it (not a ton, but I did enjoy it) but it certainly took some quick on-the-fly reevaluation of what i expected from it first.

Yeah, I’m on constant client calls today but am very much looking forward to finally listening to this beginning to end tomorrow. Caught them live last month and they were incredible (again / as always) and the show got me very hyped for the album. (I was probably on a buying hiatus when the last LP came out so I'd missed it had also had a box edition - just grabbed a new copy of Discogs for retail so am happy to add it to the collection)

Got both copies (normal and box) of the new album in today and am really surprised by how nice the sturdy / lifttop box of the boxset really is and how much more substantial the whole presentation is. Now, it *is* still just a presentation difference - and i'm still not going to punch out all these medicine boxes - but i'm really happy with the quality of the box. edited to add an image for reference. Yes, my table is messy, I have kids and this is about the best it gets most days.

Okay, sorry for back to back posts. Watched The Cellar and it was fine. Needed to kill 90 minutes because my wife was laid out with a migraine in the bedroom, and this sure took 90 minutes. We watched You Won’t Be Alone (new Macedonian flick which I think is presently only available for the “in theaters” rental price; I watched it through less savory avenues) and absolutely loved it - it really was phenomenal - beautiful cinematography and soundtrack, a lovely and at times lyrical script - way more arthouse than horror, but for those who love both this is a treat.

(***pulled up the reply box and saw I never hit post on this***) Agree with the above. Ultimately the time/place thing props the movie up a bit more than the movie itself - which I enjoyed but it did not meet my (admittedly high, possible unreasonably so) expectations. I enjoyed it, I just expected more. Good to hear on The Cellar; I’ll make it a daytime watch with my dog while everyone else is at school/work 😂

+ pretty sure the royal tenebaums was delayed. (eta - pushed to June)

My favorite /s thing about this day is how only 2 months after the above post I’ll likely end up picking up like 10-12 releases before tomorrow is over 😂

A number of reasonably priced (lowest is presently $25) Commander Venus on discogs from US sellers. One more off my list… https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/22955060?ev=rb

Speed Glue and Shinki if you didn’t get it yet: https://rockandsoul.com/products/speed-glue-shinki-eve-rsd22-ex-vinyl-lp-rsd-2022?_pos=1&_sid=97c3945c5&_ss=r (if you search “rsd 2022” on the site they’ve got stuff up. A lot still “coming soon” though)

Awesome. That knocks a lot of the stuff I wanted off my list - which is good because it will be well after lunch tomorrow before I am untangled from all of my family obligations. Thanks for posting!
