Da Cap'n 2099 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 As I always do around Halloween time, I was looking for some spooky stuff to watch and randomly found this (I've never heard of it, ok!). It's American Horror Story but good. It gives me a Black Mirror vide too. If you haven't heard of it JUST GO IN BLIND. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Where is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n 2099 Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 It's on SYFY. I just looked on Netflix and Hulu and it's not on there. Maybe you can stream a bootleg or On Demand? Oh, and I also forgot to mention that it's adapted stories from Creepypasta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n 2099 Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 Is anyone else watching this (other than Bindy)? Y'all really need to get on this. Like really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Ok so I watched ep 1 of Candle Cove. I'm interested. It definitely had some disturbing moments and I'm curious to see where it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Candle_Cove http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/NoEnd_House Those are the original stories for seasons 1 and 2 respectively. Just finished ep 2 of Candle Cove. That tooth thing is fucking gross. Jesus. Edited October 12, 2017 by Da Cap'n 2099 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n 2099 Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 Gotta be honest: I think folks should go into this completely blind if they don't already know the source material. The above post should be completely under a spoiler tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donatella Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 NZA and I just finished season 1, ep 1. It's interesting. I didn't find it scary but as a murder mystery with supernatural elements, I'm in. We're gonna keep watching! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n 2099 Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 Just wait... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 ^This. I've two episodes left in season 1 and... Yeah. Probably the creepiest tv show I've ever seen, and that's hard to pull off in this format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n 2099 Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 And not a jump scare on the whole show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 But there were scares that made me jump. First season done! Crazy slow burn, but damn good. That ending didnt frustrate me nearly as much as I feared it would. Looking forward to part 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n 2099 Posted October 14, 2017 Author Share Posted October 14, 2017 So you know, the second season has nothing to do with the first. Totally new story and very different. The mindfucks are still there tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) Yeah I watch ep one of the second season as soon as I finished Candle Cove. This is good shit man! This definitely needs a larger audience. Edited October 14, 2017 by Axels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n 2099 Posted October 14, 2017 Author Share Posted October 14, 2017 This is definitely the horror show we've all been clamoring for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 ....ehhhh so yeah, for syfy standards, this was mostly solid! but after tying up season 1: 1) it felt like a short story that got dragged out just a little bit, not too bad but enough to leave plot holes why exactly did the old teacher decide to sacrifice her kid & bet hell-bent on bringing the one kid that stopped a seizure back? how exactly did eddie start the candle cove, and why would he do so (when clearly only the teacher had use for an army of killer kids)? wait, so we're all good with the kids playing again & no one needs therapy? etc so yeah not as padded out as a regular series might've gotten but still just a bit more than the story warranted 2) acting was a mixed bag early on but it grew on me - still, donny pointed out how the editing/sound was all but missing in some of the scenes that were meant to be spookier/etc. like towards the end, it should've been super creepy but bits felt absent that said, stuff like the casting for the child actors (who mostly looked dead-on for their older counterparts) was great, and the creepy plot was enough to keep you on board the whole way through despite the flaws. i'll wait till season 2 ties up to check it out, this was definitely more enjoyable than misses like american horror story but there was admittedly bits on the table i thought weren't well utilized/didn't click for me & come together like they could've. there was enough potential here to keep my interest going, though!

Donatella Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I couldn't help thinking the entire first season was a missed opportunity. It should have been creepy. But it wasn't. I should have been scared. But I wasn't. More often than not, it felt a little silly. When I just took it as a murder mystery, I was able to get through the season, but I just kept telling NZA, "this could have been so good!" It was frustrating because all the elements were there. The story was great (apart from the plot holey stuff NZA mentioned). I really loved the premise. The acting was there. It wasn't until the last couple episodes that it clicked for me. I think the combination of bad editing/sound/score made certain scenes have far less of an impact than was intended. The whole time I just kept thinking that on paper this probably sounded amazing, but it was just poorly executed. I'd probably give it like a 4 out of 10.

The NZA Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Sometimes I feel like you guys go into things just looking to hate them Editing/sound/score? Really? Smdh. ya'll should kinda slow down here - it's okay to not fully agree on everything, right? discussing is what we're here to do, these posts discourage that. i mean, both of us said we went into this as horror fans wanting to dig it - i came out saying yeah, not bad for syfy but there was stuff that didn't make sense, the tooth monster never really did anything for me either way, etc. donny - who went to film school - points out how certain scenes could've had more impact if done a certain way, that's a valid critique...why dump on it? i've absolutely adored stuff no one here has cared for or bothered with, and that's alright too.

Donatella Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Sometimes I feel like you guys go into things just looking to hate them It was the literal opposite for me here. I think we were three episodes in when I was telling Nick that I was frustrated because I really wanted to love this. The story was there. It had all the potential to be amazing but it just wasn't working for me and at that point I couldn't pinpoint why. But I was so into the story that I finished the entire season hoping it would get better. So yeah, as insulting as your comment is, that isn't what happened here.

Keth Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 No offense intended! Just felt a little harsh is all, but horror is probably the most subjective of genres outside of maybe comedy, so I can see where y'all are coming from. And I didnt know you went to film school so those criticisms make more sense in that context. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Seriously though didnt mean to insult, that came off way harsher than I hought it would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donatella Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Thanks for saying that. I've always felt like contrarianism is the most unattractive quality in a person and it annoys me to no end. So I hate being thought of that way in any context! Especially when it comes to film and TV which are some of my most favorite artistic mediums! That is probably why I hold them to a higher standard.
