Street Trash (1987) directed by J. Michael Muro

I express disdain for thee. Provide me with a bottle of spirits in exchange for this coin, and attend to my request, if you would.

Each individual fancies themselves a fiery gangster, assuming the persona of Mister Mafia. Ah, the Don! The Don of Douchebags, such a title befits you. Nick - Nick the Dick, whispered behind your back, directed toward both yourself and your establishment, that malodorous restaurant of yours.

PLEASE do you have any more melt horror movie titles that are unpopular... I need them

I plan to watch Slime City tonight which I found thanks to you and I'm such a sucker for these types of movies too ough . I'm so glad movies like The Blob or The Society aren't the only ones of their kind with this type of body horror

I dug around to see if I could find a few more titles, but it seems to be a very niche subgenre. I did find a couple of lists, though some films are included because of just one scene, so I personally wouldn't call those "melt movies" (such as Who Framed Roger Rabbit, for example).

Rue Morgue video about melt movies

I don't know if movies like Thanatomorphose (2012) qualify, 'cuz that's basically just rotting--not really melting.

I also dug into my YouTube playlist to find a couple of the films to watch there:

Street Trash

Slime City

Slime City Massacre

Body Melt

The Incredible Melting Man

Here's the whole Body Horror playlist.

I hope this helps! Also, check Tubi TV--it's free to sign up, and they might have some of these, too!

The Stuff (1985)'s Director's Cut is my personal white whale of lost media. It still EXISTS, Denver Film unearthed a 35mm reel of it in November 2021 but nothing has come out since their single screening of the film. I know Arrow Video has, or at least had, the distribution rights to the film because I own a copy of the blu ray they put out, but I don't know if that extends to the director's cut. Every week or two I google it to see if more information has come out, I follow everyone I can that might have the info, but so far it's been NOTHING for over a year.

If anyone knows anything about this PLEASE get in touch with me, if you know someone who might now send me their way, if you know anyone at arrow plz ask them about this. I won't sleep easy until this film is widely available in its INTENDED form.

I like the thought of Battinson speaking like a My Chemical Romance song , but also, I think it’d be so unique and so cool and genius and groundbreaking if he spoke like Duchess from Aristocats.

Just him with little Dick? Asking him to PRETTY PLEASE let him kidnap the creepy but cute little kid next door.

“Oh, no, my darling, that’s just awfully rude. You have to ask the little baby first.”

Really fucked up that, when they’re young, Patrick and Art are SO tactile with each other, so comfortable sharing the same space. Art lets Patrick touch him and move him and physically overwhelm him and easily acquiesces to it, if not outright enjoys it.

Then in the present, they’ve been so far out of each other’s orbit for so long, held such animosity that when they have their moment alone in the sauna, Art physically recoils from Patrick’s close proximity! It’s so painful to watch because even as Patrick’s goading him, it’s so obvious he wants to be able to get back into Art’s space. But Art has erected all these walls around himself, he refuses to give Patrick an inch or even admit to missing how close they used to be!

AND THEN we see Art and Tashi later and he wants her to hold him, to be gentle with him, and just TOUCH him. Like, he does miss that kind of close physical contact! He either doesn’t know how to ask for it or is uncomfortable being that openly vulnerable. Worth noting that he pretty much always defers to Tashi in regard to initiating physical intimacy (with their first kiss, though he does state his desire, SHE has to be the one to make the first move). And it seems pretty obvious that Tashi herself isn’t comfortable providing that intimacy, whereas Patrick actively seeks to provide it (the hug/forehead kiss after their win together in the early years, dragging the stool closer to him).

Art has tried very hard to act like he doesn’t need physical affection and even though his discipline and devotion to Tashi has made him a stronger tennis player, it’s made him a hollow person, which, in turn, has kept him from becoming a GREAT tennis player.

All of this, of course, is why the ending hits so damn hard.

It's cold around the castle this time of year so Horror set a fire in one of the fireplaces, and some people got especially cosy

Prompt 168

So. Apparently halfas are like phoenixes or something, which Danny would’ve really liked to know. 

See, usually with ghosts if they’re forced to retreat to their cores they reform as was, but apparently, since they’re still partially living, schrodinger's people and all that, halfas have to regrow their body from scratch. At least that’s what he’s understanding from Frostbite. 

But how come he has to deal with it? It’s Dan’s fault for trying to pull such a stunt! Oh, it’s either him or Vlad? Well fuck, he might have calmed down and is going to therapy in both the living realm and the Zone, but he’s waaay not equipped to raise a child except for like, monetarily wise. 

Well dammit, how long will this core incubation thing last, he has his new job in… let him check which offer he accepted again… He has his new job in Coast City that he needs to finish packing for and then all the rest of the stuff to do. 

What do you mean it’ll take months?! He doesn’t have months?! Urgh, fine. At least being a mortician isn’t that exciting, nor dangerous. Just hand him Dan’s core and he’ll figure things out for the living side of things. He’s sure Tucker and Sam wouldn’t be against helping, if only to try and claim favorite aunt or uncle spots.
