8 Horror Movies on Hulu to Social Distance and Chill

Published

on

COVID-19 might be wreaking havoc on the world but in spite of the threat, it’s also giving us an excuse to be deep-rooted socially-distanced couch potatoes. In so many words the CDC wants us to “social distance and chill.”

That’s not making light of the situation, in fact, we as avid horror movie lovers are actually doing our part to help slow the spread of the virus by staying home, something the CDC has advised as a preventative measure. And Hulu can help us do that.

This might be more important than toilet paper.

So as servers get bombarded everywhere, here are my selections for horror movies currently streaming on Hulu to enjoy while we get through this thing.

Here’s how you social distance and chill:

The Prodigy

This film is scary the more you think about it. Even after the credits roll, there is one scene inside a therapist’s office involving a pubic hair that should keep you stocked in birth control for the rest of your life.

Jigsaw

So maybe this isn’t the best of the series, but it’s actually pretty good overall. The traps are bigger, the kills are passable and the legend lives on. It should keep you satiated until the Chris Rock-produced entry is available.

28 Days Later

Although the virus here doesn’t turn people into zombies per se, the post-apocalyptic message is still present. And for that, we should watch it just to spite coronavirus. Just to be thankful that our current situation is what it is.

Oculus

For those of you who are loving Mike Flanagan’s cinematic glow up, take a little time out of your work-at-home schedule to watch this, his sophomore feature film.

Texas Chainsaw

This one was originally in 3-D which is good because the plot was so flat. Still, it is entertaining as heck and we can appreciate a new addition to the family.

Overlord

This was the best horror movie of 2018. Change my mind.

Odd Thomas

These past few years may have been the age of the King–Stephen King that is–but let’s give it up to another horror author who dominated the New York Bestseller list in his time. Dean Koontz’s Odd Thomas is a work of art, plain and simple.

Children of the Corn

Speaking of King, here is one of those weird film adaptations available on Hulu of a short story he wrote that isn’t really that scary but gave us some creepy cult characters pre-Midsommar.

So there you have it, a Hulu streaming survival guide to the coronavirus. Until this thing passes, make the best of it. Some people hoard toilet paper, we binge on horror. And that is how you “social distance and chill” as a horror fan.

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed

Published

on

Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.

This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.

The Burning

The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.

The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.

Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.

Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
