 Thanks for checking out this video. So this is one of my kind of weekly Throw something up on a Wednesday type video where sometimes it's just an opinion piece. Sometimes it's a review of like comics Horror comics that is or sometimes it's one of these top five lists that I am fond of of and have started to do So if you have ideas for top five lists, go ahead and put some comments down there But this particular topic, I'm very interested to see what people comment about because I would love Your takes on not necessarily your top five like I'm gonna do but some of your favorite horror theater Experiences so obviously this video is my top five Theater horror theater experiences, but I'm also gonna give a bonus I'm gonna give an honorable mention first and the one that almost made my top five list I was thinking about it is giant spider invasion With rift tracks live now if you're not familiar with what rift tracks is that's the guys who originally did mystery science theater 3000 on Comedy Central and They just riff the movie They show a crappy movie and they talk over it and make fun of it and it's always hilarious I've always been a fan of theirs So they have an iteration called rift tracks now where it's online if you just go to rift tracks with an X com You get all the audio files for Big movies lesser known movies of them making fun of things and talking over the film lots of great jokes So they had one called giant spider invasion, which I had not seen that film before It's from like I think it's from the 70s But it's one of those movies that on its own. It is so awful It's hilarious But then them riffing on top of it just took it to that next level and it was amazing and that was in the theater Through fathom events fathom events will come up a few times during this ranking because they have brought some great stuff to theaters So if you're not familiar with fathom events look them up rift tracks look them up So that was my honorable mention. What's the rift tracks live version of giant spider invasion? My number five is just for the film itself pretty much and that is Ari Astor's hereditary Now the main reason being I went into this film not really knowing what to expect knowing nothing about Ari Astor I mean everyone who went into hereditary pretty much knew nothing about him because I was this first film or first big film and I was pretty blown away by how great the film looked how wonderful The feel of it was how intense it was what an interesting story puzzle Presented to me was presented to me on screen and then I had to take time Afterwards to put all the puzzle pieces together and really figure out what was going on and in what order I love that type of stuff in film So, uh, yeah, it was mainly that experience, but I do I do remember another thing that kind of kicks it up A notch for me is that I went with a buddy and we both love the film it but as soon as it was over you heard tons of people around us getting up and Saying well that was stupid that sucks tons of that and he and I looked at each other and were like Loved it. This was amazing. The other key thing during the film is that during the I'm not gonna spoil it for anyone But you know the scene the most intense messed up scene You audibly heard in the in the in the audience. Oh So that was pretty funny So my note that's my number five is hereditary my number four now is a quiet place now I'm not saying a quiet place because of the movie necessarily. I'll do I do think it's a good movie It's not like anything on par with hereditary I think the experience in the theater was particularly awesome with a quiet place Because since it's a film where the characters are not speaking they have to stay quiet There's a lot of quiet in the film So when I was sitting in the theater if you just moved a little bit You were making noise and I don't know about you But I'm the type of person that does not like to make noise in the theater because then I feel bad I feel like I'm interrupting someone else's theater experience So you you become very aware of how you make noise and how other people make noise when you're watching a film like that in The theater with other people So I'm hearing people you know crinkling with the paper on their boxes of snow caps or raisin nets or whatever It is and just munching on popcorn that becomes very loud So you become super aware of how loud we normally are Especially in a very quiet setting like that and I think that really enhanced the film for me It puts you more in the Well, not so much I was gonna say it puts you more in the shoes of the characters in there Not so much in the sense that you know, there's no no danger but like them you are feeling like you're trying not to make noise and so you kind of Get a bit extra You know feeling from the film Which adds to the atmosphere of it really and you know I was even trying to like not shift in my seat Which was becoming uncomfortable at times because I want to shift in my seat and you know those typical theater seats It was at a regal They're loud when you shift around, you know, they creak and stuff. So I'm just like I gotta not move I don't want to be that guy just like creaking in my chair during the film So for that reason a quiet police makes my number four for theater experiences You don't get that with a lot of films now number three has a lot to do with the venue some to do with the film But a lot to do with the venue. My number three is the it remake by machete machete machete I Think that's how the sit you say the last name the people who the brother and sister who did the film But it was a good remake. I really enjoyed it and it was very cinematic I saw it in a drive-in theater shout out to Benji's drive-in theater Which is not too far from where I live So I do like to go to Benji's when we can they have a really nice place and just drive-in theaters in general are super fun I love them. I feel at home there and always have a great time So to see a really good horror film there than to especially one that looks even better on a bigger screen It was just a great experience. You know, I'm in my glory when I'm at drive-in theaters in the first place Then you add to that a really good horror film That's cinematically wonderful looking and it's a great experience. So that's why it Remake which did chapter two not that great it chapter one Quite good. So that makes my number three now. My number two has to do with fathom events and that is the anniversary I forget which and I don't know if it was which 30th 40th whatever anniversary of alien the original alien Seeing that in theaters was so good because you know, they clean those they clean those films up To do these reissues especially to show them in the theaters, but man How good that looked I was not prepared for it looked beautiful. It looks so crisp. It looks so clean It took the film from being an amazing film in the first place To an even better film experience because on the big screen Not only did they really clean it up so you can see a lot more and see more intricacies of the set design of the costume design of the Creature design, but since it's so much bigger you feel more immersed in it and It really does enhance that experience of a wonderful film like alien Which if you've never seen alien, please you got to see alien It's it's wonderful But then think about that on the big screen cleaned up even more just looking so crisp and amazing It was awesome Then we come to my number one and this one also has to do with Fathom events and this was another one of those Anniversary screenings where they cleaned up the film and then showed it on the big screen and I really enjoyed this film a Lot and then once I saw it this way in the theater It kind of changed the film a little bit for me And it it took me from really liking it to loving it and it is now one of my favorite horror films And that is if not my favorite horror film actually the shining Stanley Cooper's the shining Seeing that in the theater was without a doubt my best my favorite theater going experience of my lifetime I will never forget it just the feeling of the overlook hotel Being an even bigger part of the film because it's so much larger on the screen you get lost in it You feel like the set so much bigger You feel like you're inside of the overlook as opposed to when you watch it on your tv It's just more immersive and massive And you see so much more of it and it feels more imposing It just makes that overlook hotel so much more of a character in that film And I just love it on top of that, you know, it's Stanley Kubrick's the shining. It's a wonderful film It looks amazing great cinematography directing acting all of that stuff. So That is why the shining in the theater was my favorite experience So, yeah, uh, I look forward to eventually doing more Uh theater going that I have these types of feelings about but you know, these are rare These are hard to come by so I would love to hear if you're watching this Put it in the comments Even if you don't want to do like a top five feel free to do a top five personally But just give me like one or two and say these are the ones that off the top of my head I remember having an amazing time in the theater with And if you want to go off of horror as well, that's fine because if I went off of horror I would also say the rift tracks live version of Tommy Wiseau's the room That was another wonderful one really ranks up there Especially with the audience yelling and throwing spoons my friend and I playing tossing a football in the aisles Or ruckus time is pretty awesome.
