I'm Glad You ExistCrafting Chills - The OutwatersWe're keeping the finger on the pulse of contemporary horror this week! We watched The Outwaters, "it's the 2023 Blair Witch!", is it though? I guess, kinda?! What it definitely is is a found footage movie that's generated a lot of hype and we were certainly on the train too! We conclude Nightmare Fuel by also dipping back into Found Footage, how serendipitous!

I'm Glad You ExistCrafting Chills - PossumCan you spy him, deep within? Little Possum, black as sin.2018's Possum, written and directed by Matthew Holness is one of John's favourite films, let alone horror films. Tune in for 90 minutes of him gushing to Nyxx about why this film is so good, whilst simultaneously being an horrifically awful viewing experience.Follow Nyxx on IG @nyxx_nocturna and myself @johnliotIGYE also has it's own IG now, so do follow that too @imglad.youexistEpisode artwork by the incredibly talented, Freya Steele (@fv_steele)Intro theme song...

I'm Glad You ExistCrafting Chills - SkinamarinkThe year's most divisive movie takes the form of this narratively obtuse, indie horror. Is it the nostalgic horrorscape 50% of the audience celebrate it as, or is it simply a weird little film that stands out because it breaks convention so brazenly?

I'm Glad You ExistCrafting Chills - Rec3-2-1 AND WE'RE LIVE!No we're not, and neither is the conceit of this film, so this opening bit by me really makes no sense.What does make sense is this absolute horror icon being just about as flawless as a found footage horror film can be! And for the lazy among us, it's even more scary because *gasp!* SUBTITLES! That's right, this Spanish horror darling is Crafting Chill's first foreign language film, and what a gem to lead the way!Follow Nyxx on IG @nyxx_nocturna and myself @johnliot...

I'm Glad You ExistCrafting Chills - Grave EncountersFound Footage. Haunted Asylum. This film writes itself, which is ironic, because the nature of reality tv is that it's supposed to not be scripted!We just watched Grave Encounters and spend the majority of this episode talking about the medium of found-footage, what themes GE presents (if any) and where a film like this sits within some sort of ranking scale.Follow Nyxx on IG @nyxx_nocturna and myself @johnliotIGYE also has it's own IG now, so do follow that too @imglad.youexistEpisode artwork by the incredibly talented...

Wait, what?!If that leading sentence makes no sense to you, it's because this little gem nails a 70's throwback aesthetic so well, you'd be convinced it was a recently rediscovered relic from a bygone era of film... at least until something happens in the basement...Does this love letter to old school horror stand-up to modern day standards?

I'm Glad You ExistCrafting Chills - Black Mountain (Side?)Spooky happenings in this not The Thing homage to The ThingA movie so creepy it (maybe?) has two titles. Known as both Black Mountain, sometimes with the suffix of 'side', BMS is a low-budget indie movie about The Thing if it had more native spirituality within its frigid landscape.Continuing our January theme of cold weather, here's a punt on a lesser known movie to keep up the chills in 2023.Follow Nyxx on IG @nyxx_nocturna and myself @johnliotIGYE also has it's own IG now, so do follow that...
