‘The Office’: Greg Daniels Opening Development Room To Explore New Series Ideas

Reply in thread

I realize the cool thing is to ignorantly shit on Mindy Kaling for her involvement in that show and use it as an excuse to insist she’s talentless, but you do realize she was just an actor on Velma? No writing or directing credits. So does she really deserve to lose all goodwill from the office just because of that? Or are you just continuing the circlejerk?

"Five Nights at Freddy’s" Shatters Box Office Records with $68M Opening

I'm honestly surprised at the audience praise, but I'm not at all knowledgable about the lore. I have fairly low standards for horror, especially around Halloween, and my expectations for this were really low: all I wanted was a guy working as a night shift security guard seeing a lot of spooky stuff. After the early sequence with the throw-away characters, I felt like there really just wasn't any horror. Once there was a threat, it was fairly immediately dispatched.

I don't mean to be a downer for anyone who enjoyed it, I just loved the idea and really wish I had liked it.

Seasonal horror favourites?

I'm super into seasonal horror, and I'm constantly watching movies based on the time of year.

For summer I like slashers too, and really any 80s movies. It's also when I like to watch the dumb teen horror. Summer movies (80s horror): Prom night, Prom night 2, Death Spa, Return of the Living Dead, CHUD, Slumber Party Massacre, Slumber Party Massacre 2, Night of the Demons, Pledge Night, Hell Night, Slaughter High, Chopping Mall, Phantom of the Mall: Eric’s Revenge, Friday the 13th Franchise

Summer movies (other): Summer of ‘84, Truth or dare, Wish upon, The bye bye man, Slenderman

For autumn I like haunted house and Halloween movies, and more supernatural stuff that's actually creepy. Also the various rock horror movies they've watched on Best of the Worst. Autumn movies: Hell House LLC, Hellfest, Haunt, Extremity, Halloween Party, Terrifier 2, The Houses October Built, The Autopsy of Jane Doe, Hack’o’Lantern, Trick or Treat, Black Roses, Rocktober Blood, Scream, NoES and Paranormal Activity Franchises

And for winter I like, big surprise, winter and cold weather horror. Winter movies: Frankenstein Theory, Frozen, The Shining, Devil’s Pass (The Dyatlov Pass Incident), The Thing, We are Still Here, Wrong Turn 4, 30 Days of Night, The Blackcoat’s Daughter, Pontypool, Wind Chill, Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin, No Exit, The Curse of Aurore, The Last Winter

In spring I just watch whatever else is available.

I recently read Dead Moon by Peter Clines, and it’s one of my favorite novels ever. It’s set in the future when the moon is used as a cemetery, and something happens that makes all the dead rise from the grave and attack the settlement there. It has an amazing b-movie feel.
