Upcrafting
Hello ghouls,
Are you in the spooky spirit yet? Ask me how many nightmares I've had about backrooms? and how I'm activley avoiding my basement eeeeeee!!
October is insane over here, per ujjjjjjj!! Its filled with all good things, but still just very filled haha.
This week I am watching The Craft, Split and The RING! I do have to say I am pretty excited about Split-I really liked Unbreakable and that concept and I really like James Mcavoy! The Ring I am quite very nervous for
The Scary movie bracket has been so fun to watch-We are down to the final TWO-They Live and The Mist and it is still very close with a few hours left! Can't wait to see what wins....or maybe I can :( My horror loving friend said The Mist might break me gggaaahhhhh
I wanted to remind you of our HORROR TRIVIA NIGHT OCTOBER 27th.
We are still trying our best to get these YT uploads up, Tropic thunder got a whole 4 hours! DOH! The good news is a lot of the horror movies are not Paramount ha ha!
Thanks for everything, have a spooky sweet weekend!

You should absolutely check out the new movie 'Buddy' ! It just came out on digital, and it's perfect for halloween!
I might be naive but i'm holding out hope for the youtube edit of Knight of the Seven Kingdoms to go up soon 🤞
YT edits are really backed up right now, so I wouldn't give up hope yet.
This Action Film Called Street Fighter New Movie Part of Same Game We Talk About Cassie Never Seen New Movie Before This Best Fighter's in The Street on the Road Just Only Film some's is not Real
Hoping for a drop today. Been pretty quiet around here 😢
A couple of more weeks for scary movies. I assume next week is "The Mist". Hoping Cassie also watches the runner-up "They Live". I think Cassie has a few more personal scary picks coming also. Still hoping for Horror of Dracula and/or The Fog (1980).
Seems unlikely she would add The Fog that lost 30%-70% in the first round of the poll. But you promoting The Fog prompted me to put The Fog on my watchlist.
Supposedly that new Godzilla movie is getting really good reviews.
Godzilla Minus Zero, sequel to G-1. Great reviews actually. Some people are talking best picture Oscar. But Hollywood will never let that happen. Best foreign film maybe.
Hi Cassie, so we are well into your favourite month of the year on PiB!🤡😱😆 jk It’s not a big time for me, as I’m not a big horror fan, but I’m glad for my friends on here who have been waiting all year for this. I hope that get the movies they’ve wished for. HoD!🫰 The Ring is however one of the few horrors I quite like. Now, I know this will annoy my horror friends! But I haven’t seen the original Japanese Ringu and I believe them when they say it is better in every way. However I do like the tone of the American version and the score is another Classic Hans Zimmer, very haunting. I think it’s just about the right amount of scary for non horror fans, so you may like it?! But please consider Ringu in the future for your horror heads. It’s been a rough time of late for me with work and home life making me feel exhausted. But I did have a lovely day out a couple of weeks ago with my dear friend’s daughter, taking her to NorCon, our local version of ComicCon. It was her first event and she dressed up as black widow her favourite marvel character. She has ADHD and struggles to fit in and has had a lot of problems at school with being bullied this last year. So it was super special to take her somewhere where she felt excepted and amongst others who just love to dress up and not judge others for their differences. Also, watching her confidence grow through the day was special for me too. 😊 Anywho, take care Cass and my fellow PiBers. You are the best ❤️
Mark - first let me say sorry you’re having a rough go of it and I’m glad you had a good day recently. About The Ring (and foreign film remakes in general) - don’t worry, as I said before I don’t get upset with the people who like The Ring or other foreign film remakes, more people are exposed to the remakes because of the Hollywood film industry’s dominance worldwide. No, my problem is with the people who make them - studios, producers, directors, writers, even the actors to a certain extent. My problem is that they are involved in something that is akin to plagiarism. Even though they pay for the film rights they are still taking someone’s else hard work, changing it slightly, and then, because many people aren’t even aware of the original till it’s pointed out to them, making money off of something that many people think is a original work. People can try to justify it however they like, but that’s still what it boils down to, and personally I cannot support that.
The Ring is the worse of that list. The most lackluster watered down so called PG horror film. Even the horse in the movie jumped ship he couldn't take it. Sadly the 2000s was an era of the worse watered down movies and slapped a horror label on it
Can’t stand US remakes of foreign films in general but The Ring is one of the worst. Setting the story in America totally ruins the film’s plot and backstory.
Maybe this is the wrong place to ask this but what happened to the monsterverse stuff? You watched that 2014 Godzilla then poof, no more lol.
It’s probably coming back after October, I hope anyway. With “Tender November” and Christmas coming up I hope they can fit some entertaining films in.
Am I the only person that thought backrooms was just ok and not scary at all lol
I thought it was a bit better than okay but not scary is accurate. Until I watched Cassie’s reaction I didn’t realize there were any jump scares in it.
Semi-unrelated, but Disclosure Day is finally free on Peacock. Just watched it yesterday. Really enjoyed it. Awesome performance by Emily Blunt.
It won't go down as being one of Spielberg's best, but I thought a lot of the critics were a bit harsh on it. Frankly, I'm still waiting for the brilliant "Fabelmans" to finally get its due. 🤔
The Ring and the Craft. This month is starting up sweet!
Looking forward to Split and The Ring. The Craft is high school teenage nonsense.
I found The Craft to be fun high school teenage nonsense. Split is very good. The less said about the poor quality Ringu remake the better. I’ve already beat that dead horse, resurrected it, and beat it to death again.
Can't wait, the ring is my favorite horror movie and I grew up watching the craft, one could say it had quite the effect on me as a teenage boy
Yes! A knight of the Seven Kingdoms is so good. Much needed after the depressing shit show that was Got, and whatever the hell House of the Dragon is.
I saw "Split" in the last year or so (and I own "Unbreakable," so I'll probably revisit that first). "The Craft" I saw when it first came out, so it's been a while. Although I've seen a million memes and spoofs of it, I have actually never seen "The Ring." That will be interesting.
If you like foreign films I’d recommend watching the original Japanese Ring (Ringu) ‘98. It’s considerably better than the remake, imo.
This is my JAM
I was looking forward to either Child’s Play or The Descent. Admittedly I hadn’t seen many of the choices, but of those I’d seen, I thought they would have made for the best reactions.
I am so excited for Split! Finally your reacting to this, I have been waiting for it ever since I discovered your channel. Especially after you've expressed how much you love James McAvoy and this is his greatest performance, it needs to be watched just for that alone. He's also incredible in Speak No Evil, very different character but he plays it so well.
Please consider adding the movie Jacobs Ladder (1990) as a Halloween bonus. It’s a really special scary movie.
Good one. Fairly depressing though.
The Bracket poll final round had very low voter turn-out.
Of course??? Why wouldn't it? The people that really wanted one of the other 14 and not either of the two finalists wouldn't have bothered.
The Ring is actually a Remake that's LESS scary than the original, Ringu! Still great though
I like The Ring. I haven’t seen The original, but the horror fans speak very highly of it, so I hope Cassie gets to it one day.
You'll love The Craft. Just be grateful you're not watching the original Japanese version of The Ring. That would have really messed you up! Though the remake is decent and will probably terrify you too 😂
Since the remake “borrows” (to put it nicely) most of the scares from the original I doubt she’ll find it that much less scary. Sure the original executes the scenes better, but the premise is still the same, I doubt Cassie would notice the difference at the jump scare parts. It’s in the rest of the movie where original outshines the remake substantially.
Im glad The Mist won….everyone should watch that movie atleast once because you know why
The Mist is a good movie, period. The movie is more than "you know why".
I saw Split last year and was very impressed. MacAvoy is great in everything, so I hope you get to watch The Last King of Scotland at some point. It's the true story of Idi Amin's reign as leader of Uganda in the 70s. Pleasant fellow, he was. I'm still way behind on reactions (crazy year), but I should be able to get back into it soon. The upside is, I'll have a decent backlog of reactions to watch when I do, just like when I found the channel a few years back. Took a sneak peak at the jumpscare at the end of Friday the 13th yesterday and was reminded of why I love October. The Ring is going to have a couple too, so buckle up your britches. I hope you still watch Horror of Dracula, though, because it's definitively definitive. Christopher Lee was great as Saruman, Count Dooku, Scaramanga and Lord Summerisle, but he was the perfect Count Dracula. It's Scary But Not Too Scary, so do yourself a big, fat favour before the month is done.
I would love for her to react to The Last King of Scotland. A top request for me. McAvoy is great (impressive) in that, and Forest Whitaker won the Best Actor Oscar. I found interesting that They Live beat Horror of Dracula 79%-21%. The Ring will be a first watch for me. Glad you are going to be able to back into it soon. Make sure to watch her Blues Brothers and Peanut Butter Falcon full reactions. Of course, if you want character investment, watch her reactions to Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and/or Andor.
Good Evening, For those of you who remember Alfred Hitchcock Presents 1955-1962' and the Alfred Hitchcock Hour 1962-1965. He started off every program with Good Evening. This looks like a great lineup I know The Craft, I haven't seen in ages. My gf and I both loved Split and The Ring is one of best horror movies ever made. I know a lot of people are getting their picks watched. We went and saw Other Mommy with Jessica Chastain (2026) ok that was a little scary. My friend has been stopping by to watch the new series CARRIE (2026) on Prime. It goes so much more into the story then the movies and we love it. I leave you Cassie with the new Mrs Voorhees from the new series Crystal Lake who was on Jimmy Fallon the other day. DONT WATCH UNLESS YOU HAVE WATCHED FRIDAY 13TH WITH CASSIE https://youtube.com/shorts/S-yUVxk2qxg?is=T4sJ32IhU7Ckb3VE
The Craft—love the 90s nostalgia!
T******* but fun.
"We are still trying our best to get these YT uploads up, Tropic thunder got a whole 4 hours! DOH!" Yet, still no trying to mirror to other sites too (Rumble, Odysee, Bit Chute).
Other reactors I follow are able to post on YT every week business as usual. I don't see a slow-down in postings.
I watched The Ring and The Grudge when I was 8-9 years old. Some older neighborhood kids thought it would be funny to show it to some of the younger kids and scare the shit out of us. It worked! It left a lasting imprint on me. I was scared to answer the house phone for months after watching The Ring. I haven't seen it since. I guess it's time.
Always love when they can incorporate phone calls into horror movies for some reason. Just a trope that always works for me. When a Stranger Calls was such a classic.
I watched your YT edit of Tropic Thunder the other night, hilarious as always! I always get into the spooky spirit, pun intended the moment October starts! I start by watching all 8 of the Universal Classic Monsters and then jump into any other horror classics from Hammer and beyond! Heck, thanks to you after watching the OG "Friday the 13th", I've decided to watch all of them, because I've never seen any of the other ones! The only other ones I've seen are Friday the 13th Part 2, 9, 10, 11 (Freddy vs Jason), and 12 (2009 reboot), never seen 3 through 8! I've seen "The Craft", it's interesting, let alone I've met one of the main actresses of that movie recently, Fairuza Balk, she was a sweetheart! I've seen parts of "The Mist"! I've never seen "Split", but I do know what it's about! "The Ring", it was weird, didn't scare me at all, you however given how much of a softy you are (no offence), I think it will lol! And "They Live" is a very interesting movie, and is infamous for a certain one-liner involving bubble-gum lol! Speaking of horror, I just came back from the convention Son of Monsterpalooza, and I met Doug Bradley (Hellraiser), Nick Castle (Halloween 78), Chris Sarandon (Fright Night & The Princess Bride), Amanda Bearse (Fright Night & Married With Children), and Thora Birch (Hocus Pocus & American Beauty)! They were all great people! I'm still hoping for "Van Helsing" to finally be reacted this season, I hope it's one of the ones you have locked in for reaction lol, you and Carly will enjoy it and she can handle this level of horror! Love and support, take care, you and Carly are the best, and God bless y'all and the family 🥰😇🙏🤗😉✌🌹
Wesley it would be super appreciated if you could edit your post before it has to be removed to pull that one teeny tiny, but super important spoiler out of the paragraph. Please and thank you!
Ah yes, the highlight of the week, entertainment-wise - Cassie's Upcoming. :-) I think "The Craft" passed me by unnoticed, but just from the picture I'd guess it's about a "coven of teen witches"? So that's not my usual hunting ground when I'm looking for a horror flick. Split is interesting, but now that you've seen two parts of the "non-trilogy", you should watch the last one sometime down the line as well - Glass. ;-) And finally, "The Ring" vs. "Ringu". I know a lot of people want you to watch Ringu instead of the US remake. As much as I usually agree that the original version of a good movie should always be watched, on this particular occasion my personal experience is a little bit different. I thought the US version was more spooky! Let me elaborate a bit. I saw the US version first, and I thought it was great and creepy. I didn't know it was a remake of the Japanese "Ringu". I watched that one later, and while it's also a great movie, it didn't have the same impact on me for two reasons. First, I obviously knew the story, so it was hard to be surprised by it - duh ;-). Secondly, and more importantly, I can't speak Japanese, so I had to watch it with subtitles, or, even worse, with the German dub, which is absolutely dreadful and for me, that kills the mood in every horror movie. I know you mentioned that you usually watch movies with captions, so for you it might not be the same problem. To be sure, I've rewatched both versions two or three times, and I stand by it - for me, the US version had more impact. So the Solomonic thing to do is to watch both, if your schedule allows. ;-) Have a great and wholesome October week!
Do you prefer watching movies in English or German?
Sometimes I like to put the movies together. This week looks like James McAvoy is on a dating game with four witches. Which one gets the ring?
Looks like his level of crazy might match Feruza Balk's.
Split is just so good, an acting masterclass from James. Other ones are good too
The fact that James McAvoy didn't get an Oscars nomination for his performance in Split is a crime.
As for the horror trivia, will it be with Kat or carly??? I hope it's with kat
I think Carly already excused herself in a LIVE chat not long ago.
I thought The Descent was winning, and was so so looking forward to that reaction..
The mist takes the crown now.. Hopefully she'll see the Descent too cos it got tied with "They Live" 50/50 percent on the nose!
Ooh The Craft is a good choice. Not quite horror, but more of a witchy interpersonal teen drama with some good special effects for the time. Neve Campbell returns! Also Billy from Scream in a small part. Perfect for an October Spooktacular. Kind of like Vintage Hot Topic: The Movie.
Super bummed that Devil's Advocate did not make it into the top 2 slots on the votes. The movie is great, but it's never going to actually win. Always a bridesmaid, never a bride kind of movie...
GREAT movie. Should be on the channel for Al Pacino's performance alone.
Dear God, not The Craft 🙄
You understand the concept of a Popcorn Pick of the Month, right? It’s Cassie’s pick for herself.
The Craft!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Btw since the descent was this close to winning the bracket by 50/50 of the movie "They live" Please watch that one too!!!
When is the Godzilla 2014 coming out?
That is a triple threat. Sweet!
I'll watch The Craft and Split, of course I'll be skipping The Ring, uninspired remake that it is.
Glad you're enjoying spooky season, though paramount might need to be banished to the backrooms at this point lol. Cool to see Stephen King and John Carpenter (My guys for october) face off for a poll final. The Mist is definitely something that stays with you, and THEY LIVE would be another banger sci-fi react, I know it. Either way, we win. Great POTM with The Craft, too.
They Live is becoming more and more a documentary... a must see for any John Carpenter fan. Split is excellent, and the Craft.
Looking forward to the week.
Fun mix of movies! I'm a huge horror fan so this is my favorite time of year on the channel! 👻🧛♂️🎃
Surprisingly never got round to watching The Ring so that should be fun and i've heard good things about Split also, looking like a good week of reactions.. Still a bit of a shame The Descent didn't get into the final, although it falling short may have saved you from more nightmares. 😉
I feel like The Descent is actually the perfect level of horror for Cassie. I hope she checks it out!
THESE ARE BANGERS CASSIE IS KILLING IT! Thats all I have to say 😁
the ring is going to be an all timer reaction i think. still hoping for 28 Years Later
While the ring may be typical scary scary, Split is psychological scary and Cassie has said that sometimes it's the "element" of something that could happen in real life that is more frightening. I remember at the time, many people were left thoroughly impressed by McAvoy's performance.
Pretty awesome week, The Ring i think I’ve only watched once. Split James McAvoy should have won an Oscar as he was incredible. The Craft is pretty good too, I actually think for scary levels Carly would be fine watching this.
Awww, I was hoping you weren't spoiled (RE: Split)
If you’re talking about a connection between two films, that ship ran aground a long time ago. That’s how people suggest these films now and it sucks. One of the coolest surprises in film is consistently ruined.
Should watch Ringu as well
It’s a shame all the hard work you and your editors put in just to have your YouTube videos taken down. I hope in the days/weeks to come you have better luck. 🍀
Yep, it must be super frustrating for them. Especially with Paramount being so ridiculous! It’s like the studios don’t understand these kind of channels actually help bring more people in to download and watch there movies!
Now that you know Split is connected to Unbreakable, you should also know, you should NOT go into Split expecting a sequel to Unbreakable. You will be asking a lot of unnecessary questions and probably assume some wrong things. Split was NOT advertised as a sequel and upon first viewing, it does NOT act like a sequel. Split is its own movie. NO ONE knew Split was a sequel when they originally saw it at its release. Its connection is supposed to be a surprise. M. Night Shyamalan even kept the connection between the two films a SECRET from the Studio.
Well said 👍
Great lineup this week. Will be watching all reactions. The Craft is a classic, and it’ll be interesting to see if Cassie makes it through The Ring without needing Ben. I soooo can’t wait to see what Cassie makes of Split. I’m guessing she’s going to be blown away by James McAvoy’s performance. P.s. Now that Cassie is watching Split I can change my PAF back to Temple Grandin.
+1 for Temple Grandin (2010)
Never been called a ghoul before 😂😂😂
Finally one of my requests is ppotm. The craft is means girls goth edition
90's Hot Topic in the mall come to life.
Will you and Carly watch Spider-Man brand new Day on the channel?
Going to be a great week! Three certified bangers.
Cassie, you & Carly need to watch Spider-Man Brand New Day. It's available now.
And then follow it up with Avengers: Endgame (Encore). There are some changes.
What a line up! Cassie's gonna be a new shade of white by the end of it. 😱
Hi Cassie have a spooky evening
Oooooooooooooh...The Craft and The Ring. Good stuff!
Please watch The Blob remake, I Know What you did last Summer and Silver Bullet
Oh man, the 1980s Blob remake pulls no punches. You'll see what I mean when you watch it.
AKOTSK is like wholesome GOT! I know you’ll love it
I loved it!! Full length reactions are up here on Patreon
