I mean, straight up horror, dimension hopping, touches on dementia and old age, brings back classic characters and their actors, hints at a bigger world... I loved it.
Any other series get this kind of send off??
Today that will be the Halloween night, so to celebrate this day I have a question: What's the most horrific moment in Epic7's stories for you and why? (Please don't say a poor event for the famous "the writing is horrible")
I ask the question so I guess I should give my answer (I hide it if you don't want know):
>!For me the more horrific moment in Epic7 is the chapter of the past Politia: For the brainwashing of people in Politia (with Brainwashing I'm easy to horrify), in combo with the fact that brainwashing have a effect which make "happiness is mandatory" and icing on the cake the completely sincere proclamation of Politis that is THE GOOD give a feeling of madness which make it's for me the better horrific moment of E7 (and the most horrific of them).!<

If you have thought about playing Curse of Strahd, on the fence about it, wondering if you should, or what its all about.

Thank you for your support and consideration.
- Sleeping Beauty On Elm Street: Let's see how long Aurora can survive the sleep spell while being stuck in the dream realm with Freddy Krueger, until a prince comes to kiss her awake.
- Big Hero 6 vs Godzilla: This would make sense. A group of heroes from Tokyo vs a monster from Tokyo.
- Toy Story & Child's Play: This seems pretty obvious since they're both about toys coming to life. Woody, Buzz, and all of the toys would have to stop Chucky from transferring his soul into Andy (not Andy Barclay).
- The Little Mermaid from the Black Lagoon: What if the Gill-man fell in love with Ariel? They would sure make an aquatic couple.
- Cars & Christine: Imagine a killer car in a world full of talking cars. She sets out to destroy them all.
- Beauty & The Wolf-Man: What if Belle instead falls in love with Larry Talbot and eventually finds out that he's a nocturnal beast during full moon?
- Hocus Pocus & IT: What do the Sanderson Sisters and Pennywise have in common? They both feed on the fear of children, which makes them stronger. Imagine if they teamed up.
Iβm looking for movies that have big scope, awesome set design, or great atmosphere. Something like Interview with the Vampire, or Bram Stokerβs Dracula. The IT movies have a pretty big scope so those count too. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
This book teeters on horror the same way novels like The Stand does. I see it mentioned here very infrequently and wanted to put it out there for people looking for a new novel. It's a phenomenal book with some pretty spooky tension filled scenes. Without spoiling too much, here's a quick synopsis.
It starts off in your standard apocalyptic way; a virus escapes and everything is forever changed. The beginning covers how it broke loose from the facility. Then, this is where it changes things up: The book immediately jumps forward 93 years later to a post-virus ravaged world where survivors have set up camps with walls and fortresses to keep "them" out. Think of it as the movie "The Village" where people literally live their whole lives within this mini society scared of what lurks beyond the walls. The problem is, they're running out of resources to keep the camps and fortified walls functioning, along with a growing desire to see what lies beyond.
The book was never promoted as horror possibly because horror doesn't sell as well as mainstream novels, but make no mistake. There are some pretty scary scenes in this book. I really, really enjoyed it and wanted to recommend it to this community since it touches down on so many topics many enjoy from apocalyptic scenes, viruses, vampire monsters, and the adventure story akin to The Stand. Hope someone sees this and enjoys a great read!
Like the horror takes place in a well developed fictional world, and has an actual good story

I posted this question elsewhere and wasnβt really satisfied with the response I got, so hopefully it goes better here.
So, what would you consider be a true horror epic? Stories that are big in scale, scope or character, whatever your definition of an epic is, what would you say are the Iliads, Lord of the Rings or Beowulfs of the horror genre?
Iβd say the combo of The Shining/ Doctor Sleep make for a good one, including IT. Dracula as well. Iβd think you could also toss in some of HP Lovecraftβs body of work like the Call of Cthulhu, or The Ballad of Black Tom by Victor LaValle. As Iβm sitting here typing those are the best I can think of. What do yβall have?
I wonder if the original creator knows or has something to do with it.
I recently read a blog post that said itβs unattainable, so I was wondering do you think thatβs true and if not what are some stories you think fall under this nomenclature, Iβve heard someone say Clive barker may qualify but what do you think?
The Ripper is the second book in the Next Life series and tells an origin tale of Jack the Ripper that one may not expect. It's held within an Epic Dark Fantasy series and has a new spin on the stingy Jack legend among other cultural/myths/religious references. It definitely fits the Halloween season! This is a prequel story to the first book.
Description from Amazon:
One man, Jack the Ripper, haunted the dark streets of Whitechapel in the year 1888. One may not wish to call him a man, for at the end of the day, he never was, not entirely. The Ripper was and always has been more of a specter than a man, but who is he? The stories youβve been told couldnβt be further from the truthβa barber, a doctor, and even a prince?
Ahead is a look into the real Ripperβs story from his eyes and those among him. The riveting story of Jack and his most beloved friend, John, along with those they saved, and those they damned at the request of the goddess, Fate, finally comes to light. This is a story of loss, demons, witches, and the tormenting of one man by the puppeteering hands of one very stingy individual named old Nick.
Tropes: Dark, bloody, super powers, multi-protagonist series, epic.
TW: graphic violence, torture, abuse, language.

(Thereβs also a Print version and an audiobook/drama expected near the end of the year.)
- Aquaman vs Creature from the Black Lagoon: A water hero vs a water monster, duh.
- Guardians of the Galaxy vs The Xenomorphs: They've fought alien creatures before, but can they take on these aliens?
- Deadpool vs Jason Voorhees: I mean- they're both disfigured, that's why they wear masks. They also carry around big bladed objects.
- Spiderman or Wolverine vs Freddy Krueger: Spiderman because Freddy kills teenagers- Peter Parker is a teenager, but with superpowers. And they both like to drop some pretty good one-liners. Maybe Spidey and Freddy should have a roast session instead of battling. Wolverine just because he has claws like Freddy does.
- Superman vs Brightburn: Pretty obvious, Superman against the evil, sociopath version of himself.
- Ninja Turtles vs Pennywise: Well, they both live in the sewers.
