October’s here so it’s time once again for Binary System to go over our list of Favorite Horror Movies and scare ourselves silly. Two years ago we had a conversation with Hannah about our go-to movies, and last year we talked about The Cell and As Above So Below, so this year we’re talking about The Thing from Another World (the 1951 version), Crimson Peak, The Wicker Man (the 1973 version), Angel Heart, 28 Days Later, Paranormal Activity, and Pitch Black.
And then we went off on a ton of tangents as we listed movies that aren’t great but have parts you should fast forward to (Prophesy for Christopher Walken, and Amityville Horror for Ryan Reynolds’ abs), debated on whether or not having vampires in it makes it horror, wondered whether or not Christopher Eccleston has really and truly made his peace with Doctor Who, and briefly touch on Carnival Row (pretty!) and Jessica Jones season three (…darnit…)

This week’s outro music is Synthwave E by TeknoAxe.
The article where Cara Delevingne explains why she uses an Irish accent in Carnival Row is here. (Short version: it made sense to her, especially since so much about fairies comes from Irish folklore. Also because she just likes the accent.)
The artist who inspired several of the images in The Cell is Odd Nerdrum.

You can read about the Frances, the 1926 building Elizabeth lived in when she was in Asheville, in this article. (There’s no mention of it being a former nunnery, so that might be a myth.)
Correction: Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury is the animated one and YES it’s animated by Peter Chung, who also did Æon Flux.
Correction #2: that moment long after you watch something when you realize a plot point didn’t make sense is called Fridge Logic, not a Fridge Moment. (It’s sometimes called a Jellybean Moment, after a Harlan Ellison story, so that’s where we mixed up the name.)
Not really a correction but HOLY COW, somebody archived the entire IMDB forums. Here’s the one for “Angel Heart”; enter at your own risk.
