![]() Some of these make way too much sense for my comfort. Then of course, there are many videos regarding kids shows conspiracies. Secret societies, forbidden locations, political coverups. This is a great way to find stories that might get missed on a casual look over the Creepypasta sight.Īnother topic that gets a lot of love is conspiracy theories. Some of my favorite videos are roundups of Creepypasta stories and SCP stories. If you’ve never visited Santoro’s YouTube channel, his content covers just about any horror topic you could think of. If you haven’t seen Train to Busan yet, it’s definitely worth a watch. It doesn’t break any new ground, but it’s a good zombie story well told. Other than that, this was an entirely satisfying and fun horror film. But perhaps if you’re not expecting that zombie deer feast, you won’t be as disappointed as I was. Frankly, when you start the movie with a zombie deer getting up in the middle of the road, you should have zombie deer rip somebody apart by the end of the movie. The only thing I believe this movie lacked is a herd of zombie deer. Train to Busan hit each one of those notes, fulfilling the expectations of the genre perfectly. The heroic deaths of some characters, and the karmic deaths of others. The inevitable destruction of a safe place. The collection of survivors banding together. As zombie movie fans, we expect each note to be hit. ![]() This is not a criticism, but an expectation. Zombie movies tend to follow a specific format. The jerky, alien movement gets under one’s skin and stays there. There’s a moment, right at the start of the film, where a zombie deer is hit by a truck and then stands back up. ![]() The gore and effects in Train to Busan were well done. ![]() In the end, Seok-woo not only has to save his daughter, but he has to decide what sort of man he wants to be. He also saw the fearless, badass actions of Sang-hwa. I think Seok-woo saw Yon-suk, and saw something that might have been his future. By the end of the film, he has a deeper understanding of the value of other people’s lives, and what it means to take care of others in a community. At the start of the movie he only really cares about his kid, his career, and his mom. I also really loved the character arc that Seok-woo goes through. I really, really wanted him to get eaten by the zombie deer that started the movie. He even throws people in front of the zombies so he can get away. He lies to people, putting them in harm’s way. Throughout the film, he shows an increasing disdain for the well-being of others. On the other side of the coin is Yon-suk. I think we are all a bit Captain Howdy in some aspect. Did Snider go a bit too far in insane isolation? Give the movie a whirl and find out. (For the record: If you are on his show enough to have your GPS listing the target house as a ‘favourite’ then you might want to rethink your life choices.) It taps into those fears and gives us a bit of a ‘look at me!’ type venture.Ĭan you identify with Snider’s character of Captain Howdy? Isn’t that the sign of a good writer? No matter how much of a monster the villain is, there is something identifiable about the man. The movie feeds in on our fears of the online creepoid stalking the net waiting to meet either a young girl/boy or Chris Hansen. Snider writes this film which is part creepfest and part warning of a pre-dawn internet free for all. This movie made me see Dee Snider in a different way. I remember seeing Twisted Sister live with Sebastian Bach before and stuff like that sticks with you (in a good or bad way). What brought me to the movie was Dee Snider. I think I had to rob a RedBox to watch it. ‘Stay away from Captain Howdy.’ That is the lyric, isn’t it? I saw Strangeland a few years ago.
