Yes, good morning/night texts are generally good. Means you're the first person they're thinking about when they wake up and the last person they're thinking about before they go to sleep.

We'd have colonial faires but people don't like recreating taking land from Indians for some reason.

We do have colonial towns like Jamestown though where you can visit a classic settlement and people dress up and talk like in the old days.

Kakarot. it's a japanese pun on carrot. the creator of dragonball loves puns in names.

According to Google Translate, 'ninjin' is Japanese for carrot. I obviously might be missing something here, but what exactly is the pun supposed to be?

Every Saian name is based in some way on a vegetable. Usually the English name, but not always.
Vegeta - Vegetable
Kakarot - Carrot
Raditz - Raddish
Broly - Broccoli
Nappa - Green leaf
Caulifla - Cauliflower
So on and so forth.

All good points, both about AQP and Signs.

I thought the very ending of AQP made seeing the monsters worth it, though. Hopefully the sequel ups the ante.

Ok, have you seen The Ritual (Netflix, 2017)? By all accounts its an average or slightly-above-average horror film (I still found it enjoyable though), but Id argue its far better for having shown its monster than it otherwise would have been.

Oooh, yeah that's actually a really good example. Movie definitely would not have been the same without seeing the monster. If I remember correctly it's inspired by a couple different creatures from Norse mythology, and that shit is scary enough on its own.

Im talking about the scenes where his mouth opens and he has like 100s of teeth, etc. And just because hes humanoid doesnt make him human. He definitely has more of an animalistic nature.

Which is part of why Id argue zombie films kind of count as well.

Also, you guys cant just brush off great films like A Quiet Place (95% on RT) because you personally didnt care for them lol >.>

I'd argue that A Quiet Place's popularity hinges on it not being scary. If it was, most people wouldn't watch it. Also, the idea of a family struggle is very appealing to the masses. You've got a character for every type of person to identify with. On top of that John Krasinksi and Emily Blunt portray the characters extremely well and most of that is because it isn't acting, they really do feel that way about eachother.
I love the idea of the monster, but it would be much more terrifying if you never saw them, or they were just an incredibly fast blur like when the kid gets killed in the opening.

One of my biggest personal gripes with that movie though, is the basement scene. Sound travels better through water than it does through air. You're telling me that these things that can supposedly hear a person's heartbeat wouldn't be able to hear it, or at least her walking, through the water? C'mon. But that's neither here nor there.

Take Signs as an example. Very similar, very popular, movie. When the monster is finally shown it is in a triumphant moment. It's when you're meant to realize that the monster isn't scary, and isn't a threat, that it's finally revealed. Everything leading up to that is tense as fuck.

Pennywise is definitely more than a clown. Even going beyond the fact that hes a primordial cosmic evil thats existed since before man and can shapeshift into anything there was some true creature design going on with him, at least in It (2017).

Care to drop some examples of great monster horror films where the monster is never shown?

The Blair Witch. What this whole topic is about.
Other than that there are none, that's exactly what I'm saying lol.
The fear of the unknown is more powerful than anything the human mind can come up with.

Pennywise, regardless of what he is meant to be, looks like a clown. I loved the IT remake but Pennywise is scary because he is something familiar and innocent turned malicious. It's the same reason the little girls in The Shining are creepy. Duality. Playing on expectations and all that.
Also, Bill Skarsgard is just a naturally creepy looking dude.

Alien is a 1979 science fiction horror film

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_(film)

I agree about Pans, it is more dark fantasy though it has horror elements. However it was on a list of top horror films when I googled.

A Quiet Place and Hereditary are both some of the best-rated horrors of all time despite what you may personally think about the monsters.

The VVitch, Cabin in the Woods, It, and Nightmare all definitely dont have humans as the big bad, the rest are mostly debatable.

Ill try to think of some more.

Pennywise is literally a clown, and Freddy Krueger is just a guy with knives on his fingers.

The VVitch is definitely just a human, or definitely just a goat, depending on how you want to look at it. Either way, both witches and Black Phillip are not new ideas, nor are they "monsters". Really fucking good movie, but there aren't any monsters in it.

Cabin in the Woods is a comedy horror and is closer to something like Slither, Arachnophobia, or Zombeavers than any horror movie. Great movie, but not because of the creature design.

I'd like to agree with you here but I cannot think of a single horror movie that features a "monster" of some type that doesn't immediately remove all tension when it's revealed.
The unknown is much, much scarier than any creature on the silver screen.

Not even going to bother with Godzilla or Predator, they're action movies and aren't meant to be scary. Jaws is a shark. Attack the Block is a pure comedy.

I'll give you The Thing. Even then it's a monster that relies on the unknown to create fear. It's scary because it could look like anything.

Bad films, sure. The good ones manage it and they are usually the best horror films. (And Im not just saying by my standards look at the top-rated horror films ever, they most often fit this criteria.)

While i want to agree... examples?

Just a few off the top of my head:

A Quiet Place
Alien
Hereditary
All the numerous zombie films (e.g. classic Romero)
It
Pans Labyrinth
Cabin in the Woods
The VVitch
The Ring
The Shining
The Conjuring (iirc)
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Nightmare on Elm Street
Halloween

A Quiet Place was utterly ruined by its monsters and the inconsistencies with their hearing abilities. Easily one of the most generic designs I've ever seen as well. They're like shittier lickers.

Alien, while my favorite movie of all time, is not a horror film. It's sci-fi. Borderline action flick, like the every other movie in the franchise.

The ending of Hereditary ruined the entire movie. Half of the theater laughed when I went to see it. Absolutely absurd.

Pan's Labyrinth is a fantasy movie, not horror. Not even close. It's basically a fairy tale, and the antagonist is a human. Definitely the best creature designs of anything you listed but "fauns" are an idea that's centuries old, and "guy with eyes in his hands" isn't exactly original.

In every other movie you mention the big bad is a human. There is no "design" to fuck up.

The element of not knowing is what made it great.

Not really. Thats an overused tactic when you lack imagination.

What are you typing about? It's a great tactic to use so people have to use their own inagination of what a creature in a film is perceived as.

Its a cop-out. Its kind of annoying when a film builds up a monster throughout the movie and then never shows it.

2016s The VVitch is a great example of a film that skirts the line.

Every time a film actually shows the "monster" it becomes instantly less scary. Most of the time comical.

There's also a woman who lives 3 houses down who has this "lover" who parks his car in front of my house, then walks down to hers. Apparently he is cheating on his wife with my neighbor. I learned this when the wife angrily pounded on my door demanding to speak to her husband, and I had to direct her to the right house. Guess he was telling her he was spending nights at my house playing poker and drinking, and that's why he doesn't come home.

You forgot to disclose the ethnicity of these people.

Yes, there's an Asian family that has 20 or so people living in one house and they have 8 cars they park all up and down the street. Rarely move them for street cleaning too so there's trash and gravel piled up by the curb on either side.

Very recently a Hispanic family moved in across the street and they have these huge parties every weekend and blast music all night. If it continues I'm gona have to call the popo. Got home early in the morning one day last week and they were all in their driveway drunkenly yelling at eachother and singing while hosing off gardening tools.

I thought in the the 20 min video I watched that it marked your destination on the map?

No?

It does but the building is like a maze at times. Some corridors or paths you think are the way to the destination are not.

There are signs everywhere with big arrows that point you in the right direction.
Even beyond that there are maps stuck to the walls all over the place that have a big red "You Are Here" dot on them.

That was helping until I got to the part where I have to find the Black Rock Processing.

Central Maintenance outside the Executive Elevator. Right across from the training area where you run through the timed obstacle course. Think you can get there from the Maintenance Access Tunnel POI in the Exec Elevator.
