Let's do another Q & A round. You know what to do in the comments. Bonus points for spooky creepy scary supernatural movie themed questions that get us in the mood for Halloween
Reader Comments (28)
What director/actor who isn't known for making horror films would you like to see attempt to make one? For example, the Coen bros, have gone to some dark places, but not outright horror. I think they could make a solid fright flick, maybe even a genre redefining one. Frances McDormand can play the last girl.
Have you ever done a film-inspired Halloween costume, and if so, which was your favorite?
Best in show in Hocus Pocus? If they were to ever do that remake/sequel who would you cast in each role? One diva who's career needs a reboot, one beloved character comic actress and one sex pot ingenue - bonus if you want to cast the teenagers as well.
Sorry, I love that movie so so much, I put a spell on you is still my favourite song from any movie.
Which movie witch is best in your opinion? And why?

Thoughts on Death becomes her?
What's your take on updating classics with new horror twist, à la Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, and which movies would you like to see given a new spin? Gone With the Zombies in the Wind perhaps?
Do you think Lynch films (esp. Inland Empire, Fire Walk With Me, Blue Velvet) work well as horror movies? Do their surreality and confusing narrative make things more frightening or do you find it all too abstract to be really scary? They scare the hell out of me tbh.
Favorite queer-themed horror films?
The topic's on my mind since I just discovered that Nightmare on Elm Street 2 is sometimes considered a gay classic.
What is your favourite performance in a horror movie?
Thoughts on Suspiria? And its potential remake with Guadagnino and Swinton, Fiennes, Johnson & Schoenarts?

Imagine you're driving down a highway in Colorado during a blizzard when you happen upon a crashed car. In it, you find a hurt Meryl Streep who you must take home to nurse back to health as in the movie 'Misery.' What big career movie could she planning that would make you go the full Annie Wilkes on her?
(If you prefer, you can change up the maimed celebrity.)
*could she BE planning
Crazy ethical question: Should Oscars be awarded by performance, end of story, OR is it ok to give career/overdue prizes? Put another way: should nominees who haven't won have a leg up on people who've already won?

If you could revive an actress' career from the dead at the expensive of another actress who's currently popular --- who would it be and why?
Recast The Witches of Eastwick.
I'm going to ask an actress related question AND a scary themed one :D
First, who are your favourite actresses who you wish had better careers for themselves? Lord knows there are practically hundreds...
Second, have you seen REC? It's one of the greatest horror films of the modern era. Feck that, of all time! It's a found footage (don't let that turn you off!) Spanish horror film. I'd recommend it highly. :)
Death Becomes Her is always fun to talk about!

Nicole Kidman and Julianne Moore are trapped in one of Jigsaw's machinations and he wants to play a game. He wants you to teach you about "false idols". You have to choose one of them to save. But whoever you choose? Not only do they have to promise to NEVER act again but "information" will leak out that will cause the Academy to revoke their Oscar. If you save neither? Their legacy remains in tact but they will both get impaled with the same Oscar that they won.
Make your choice.
