Title speaks for itself, but I'm just curious if it's something that's happened to anyone else. The only time I've ever been in a theater alone with nobody else there to see the movie was a showing for My Cousin Rachel (2017). I was astonished cause it was the first time I realized I had the option to openly react as much as I wanted without repercussions, but I still followed the etiquette that comes with going to a theater

With Werwulf coming out in December but also Anna Biller's The Face of Horror premiering at TIFF this year it had me curious, do you expect to see more horror movies set in the middle ages coming out?

It's something I want to see since it feels like medieval horror, at least in film, is very small. The only ones that come to mind for me are both versions of Tower of London, The Virgin Spring, Onibaba, The Masque of the Red Death, Black Death, and I guess Season of the Witch since some people classify that as horror

There was an animated movie I watched a while ago as a kid I think on cartoon network that I randomly remembered but can't remember what it was called.

What I remember most is this group of people encountered a caveman who resembles the main character, and there's a scene where the put him in an American football game as a player and he kinda goes feral on the other team and that it

Edit: The american version of football

I'm sure it's been talked about before but since adapting video games to TV and movies is all the rage right now what are the odds that SC gets some kind of revival that way?

I'm sure this has been discussed in the megathread (and admins can remove this for that reason if they see fit), but since The Northman is essentially Eggers doing Hamlet before Hamlet it got me curious about what other works of Shakespeare would you want to see Eggers do in a hypothetical world?

The tragedies I'd say are the most optimal thing, I know Macbeth would be easy and probably the most fitting thing, but Macbeth has been adapted quite a lot lately. Beyond that I think he'd fit well with King Lear (especially if he cast Willem Dafoe as the title character) Julius Caesar, or even Titus Andronicus. That and just to throw a lesser known one out there, Troilus and Cressida

I like making playlists for video games I play, just to add something extra to the experience or add songs that I think fit the game's themes, but something that I always wonder about is what are video games you'd play while listening to Opeth's music?

A lot of soulslike game scomes to mind. The Dark Souls games and also Elden Ring fit Opeth's music to a T, but I also think Mortal Shell's moody atmosphere suits Opeth's music well (kind of funny I'm saying that since they had Rotting Christ contribute boss music to the game)

Curious to hear what everyone else thinks

I feel like when it comes to video games there's a bevy of high fantasy, but what are video games that you think, aesthetically and plot element wise, think could be formally considered S&S? I've listed some of what I think could fit the title

1. Sword of Sodan (1988)
2. The Immortal (1990)
3. Lionheart (1993)
4. Blades of Vengeance (1993)
5. The Legacy of Kain series (1996 - 2026)
6. Severance: Blade of Darkness (2001)
7. Conan (2007)
8. Blades of Fire (2025)
9. Kromlech (2025)
10. The Blood of Dawnwalker (2026)
11. Barbarian Saga: The Beastmaster (Upcoming)

If there's any I'm missing I'd love to know, I'm always looking for stuff to check out

Edit: adding a couple others. One that came to my head, and the other I forgot about completely

Golden Axe Series (1989 - 2008)

Conan Exiles (2018)

There was a movie I watched as a kid that my parents had rented on Netflix that I randomly thought of recently, and I can't remember the title of it

The movie started off with this man and his family visiting the grave of either his mother or his brother and then it flashes back to his childhood with him, his brother (with the nickname Gunny) and his mother who's a single mom. They come across a guy (I think named Jack) who randomly starts granting wishes and kind of enters the boy's lives as a father figure. Gunny gets cancer, there's some odd magical sequence involving him where there's a stop motion monster who visits him and then he flies into the air later in the movie.

The movie ends in the present day with the main character as an adult, at the grave site, and Jack appears before him, says something about the main character's family, he goes to rejoin them and then it shows us the grave of the Jack character

There's a movie I watched in childhood that was a VHS rental and I cannot for the life of me, remember the name of it. It was a horror movie, but definitely something geared towards kids instead of a traditional horror movie.

The plot involved these kids trying to solve the mystery of a ghostly cowboy/outlaw/rider in some western town. The thing I remember the most from it is scenes from the third act. The kids unmask the ghost and it turns out to be some homeless guy they had interactions with, then further unmask him to discover it's some corrupt businessman pulling the strings. That and the very last scene before the credits where there's an eyeless portrait and the ghost's eye appears in the eyehole and starts laughing maniacally.

Both the aforementioned scenes are what stuck with me the most about this movie, really hoping someone can help me crack the mystery here.
