September 30
1. House of Wax (2005) TV.
Every aspect of this movie is ridiculously bad.
2. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919). Kanopy.The great granddaddy of demented dream films with a visual style that has been imitated for a century.
3. The Amityville Horror (1979). TV. Supposedly based on real events, James Brolin and Margot Kidder are newlyweds who move into a demonic murder house. Hijinks ensue.

October 1.
4. The Deep House (2021). TV. A couple who make YouTube videos about exploring haunted sites are lured into a exploring a house at the bottom of a lake where they run into undead Satanists.
5. Afflicted (2013). TV Found footage films have gotten old, but this is a solid vampire flick.
6. Ghost Ship (2002). Blu-Ray. Ghost Ship has one of the best opening sequences ever.
7. The Fly II (1989). Blu-Ray. The original 1958 film spawned two sequels, neither of which measures up the first film. This sequel is much more successful than those.
8. Trilogy of Terror (1975). TV.I own the Blu-Ray, but I watched Svengoolie instead.
9. The Wicker Man (1973). Internet Archive. Like The Haunting, The Wicker Man works without excessive gore or violence (except for the climax).

October 2
10. Tales From the Darkside: The Movie (1990). TV
. Based on the syndicated horror anthology show, the stories here are a little too mild. One would think with the freedom film affords from TV standards and practices, the movie version could go a lot further with the shock and gore, but this is still "family-friendly."
11-. Count Dracula (1970). Kanopy. Although Jess Franco's script gives Christopher Lee's Dracula far more dialog than any Hammer film, this film is dull.
12. The Keep (1983). Criterion Channel. Wow, this is finally available to stream. Does this mean Michael Mann might OK a physical media release?
13. Lifeforce (1985). Blu-Ray. A terrific movie that could probably not be made today.

October 3
14. Whoever Slew Auntie Roo? (1972). Blu-Ray.
Shelley Winters doing her trademark crazy Shelley Winters performances.
15. Beast (2017). Kanopy. More of a suspense film than horror, but a real gut punch nonetheless. Great FTV.

October 4
16. Tilbury (1987). Shudder.I wanted to enjoy this exploration of Icelandic folklore, but it bored me to tears.
17. The Hallow (2015). Blu-Ray. Solidly scary film about a family being menaced by Irish forest spirits.
18. Last Night in Soho (2021). HBO Max-I really enjoyed this fantasy look at the Swinging London in the 1960s.

October 5
19. I, Madman (1989). Tubi.
Entertaining thriller about a villain who leaps from fiction to reality.
20. In the Mouth of Madness. (1994). Blu-Ray. John Carpenter's tribute to HP Lovecraft.

October 6
21. Candyman (2021). TV.
I was skeptical of remaking a classic film, but this really worked, changing the emphasis from worship of a deity in the first film to Candyman being an avatar of Black rage in the new film, which is a sequel, not a remake. Absolutely brilliant continuation of the story.

October 7
22. Devil's Due (2014). TV.
A newlywed couple discover that Devil worshippers are interested in their unborn baby. A boring exercise to get to an obvious ending.
23. The Found Footage Phenomenon (2022). Shudder. An interesting look at the found footage genre.
24. The Curse of La Patasola (2022). TV. A vengeful spirit who punishes adulterers attacks two couples out in the woods for a fishing weekend. A real slog to get through.
25. Polaroid. (2019). TV. A haunted camera kills anyone in its sights.

October 8
26. Death Becomes Her (1992). TV.
Two shallow women searching for eternal beauty become the walking dead.
27. 28 Days Later (2003). TV. A novel virus creates a pandemic of rage-filled monsters, so basically 2022. The COVID resposne has shown us that if a zombie plague happened, half the population would voluntarily catch it to "own the libs."
28. Night of the Living Dead (1990). DVD. Not as classic as the original, but this is a solid remake
29. The Sadness (2021). Shudder. The gore is so completely over-the-top that it carries little impact. It's an exercise in Grand Guignol blood and guts.

October 9
30. The Omega Man (1971). TV.
Probably the best of the I Am Legend adaptations, although not as faithful as the Vincent Price film., subbing in infected mutants in place of vampires.
31. Bonehill Road (2017). DVD. A mother and daughter fleeing from domestic abuse run into werewolves and a serial killer/cannibal..

October 10.
32. Quatermass and the Pit. (1968). Blu-Ray.
An alien force long dormant in humans lays waste to London.
33. Village of the Damned (1961). Blu-Ray. A perfect blend of sci-fi and horror. No notes.
34. Nightwing (1979). Blu-Ray. Wow, this movie was a stinker! Apart from casting Italian guys in bad wigs as Indians , the dialogue was terrible and the bat effects were poorly executed.
35. The Illustrated Man (1969). Blu-Ray. An anthology of 3 Ray Bradbury stories with a wraparound 4th story. Could have been better.
36. Black Friday (2021). Streaming. There really isn't much difference between zombies and Black Friday shoppers, An enormously fun horror comedy.

October 11
37. Deadstream (2022). Shudder.
I loved this flick! A dipshit Youtube livestreamer runs into ghosts.
38. The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945). DVD. Oscar Wilde gets the Warner gloss. RIP Angela Lansbury

October 13
39. Rosemary's Baby (1968). Blu-Ray
. Birthing the Anti-Christ is worth it if you can get a spacious rent-controlled Manhattan apartment.
40. What We Do in the Shadows (2014). Blu-Ray.Still a classic mockumentary.

October 14
41. Near Dark. (1987). TV.
Bill Paxton streals this film as Severin the vampire cowboy.
42. Dr Jekyll and Sister Hyde (1971). Blu-Ray. Solid late Hammer entry mixing eroticism with the horror,
43. Lord of Illusions (1995). Blu-Ray. The director's cut is better than the theatrical.

October 16.
44. The Tingler (1962). TV.
As much as I enjoy Vincent Price, it is extremely difficult to be afraid of a rubber monster on a string.
45. Splinter (2008). Blu-Ray.For a low-budget film, this is a really effective monster movie.
46. The Invisible Ray (1936). Blu-Ray. Karloff and Lugosi play rival scientists. Karloff discover a new radioactive element wihc tirns him into a glowing menace whose touch can kill.

October 17.
47. Wishmaster (1997). Tubi.
Andrew Divoff is a terrific villain in this otherwise ordinary monster movie.
48. What's the Matter with Helen? (1971). TV. More Shelley Winters madness
49. The Masque of the Red Death (1964). TV. Easily the best of Corman's Poe cycle

October 18.
50. The Unholy (2021). TV.
A young deaf girl channels the Blessed Virgin and gains the ability to heal, but it turns out that she is really possessed by the spirt of a condemned witch. Ooops! The movie is trying to make points about blind faith, and how easily people can be tricked by a smooth-talking huickster.

October 19
51. Come Play (2020). TV.
The story concerns a non-verbal boy with autism who attracts an extra-dimensional monster named Larry that uses the boy's cell phone to communicate with him. There's no blood, just a gradually creepy atmosphere as the boy's parents find out that the imaginary friend isn't imaginary and wants to abduct the boy into his world.
52. The Black Phone (2021). Paramount+. Ethan Hawke plays a child murderer whose victims call his newest prey from beyond the grave.

October 20.
53. Aaron's Blood (2016). Paramount+
. A hemophiliac child gets some vampire blood transfused with bloody consequences. For a movie made on a microbudget this was OK. The child actor is stiff and wooden (his dad directed the film so nepotism is definitely involved.), but the actor playing the distraught father trying to cure his son of vampirism is excellent
54. The Monster Squad (1987). TV. I probably would have enjoyed this more if I had been a child in the 80s. It's a fun kid's film featuring all of the Universal monsters including the Gill Man, but of course not using the original copyrighted makeups.
55. Mark of the Vampire (1935). DVD. Bela Lugosi plays a vampire again, this time as "Count Mora," a supposed vampire lurking around a mansion where a murder occurred. The twist at the end is interesting.
56. The Mask of Fu Manchu (1932). DVD. While I absolutely enjoyed this film, the racial slurs and Karloff in yellowface make this movie what the kids call "problematic."
57. Freaks (1932). DVD. The legendary shocker featuring real-life circus performers. While I find the acting in this film to be stilted and melodramtic, that last scene in the rain still packs a punch.

September Warm-up List (including movie(s) watched for IBJoel's September Giveaway)
Spoiler:
9/1/22

Prophecy (1979) - Mutant bear attacks! This just happened to be the next movie in the stack I was working through, and I hadn't watched it in about 40 years...

9/2/22

Growing Up with I Spit on Your Grave (2019) [tubi]- Surprisingly informative and interesting documentary about the making of I Spit on Your Grave.
Tales of Frankenstein (1958) - Frankenstein builds a monster which goes on a rampage. It's prety obvious why this Hammer produced pilot wasn't successful, since that would've probably been the plot of every episode, but it's still interesting to see.

9/3/22

Horror Castle (La Vergine di Norimberga) (1963) - After discovering a dead woman inside an Iron Maiden in her husband's ancestral home, a young bride slinks around the castle in a nightgown trying to figure out who killed her. Meanwhile, someone dressed in the guise of the historically infamous torturer known as "the Punisher" is also skulking about the castle. Pretty standard Gothic fare. Just the thing for a lazy Saturday afternoon.
Street Trash (1987) - A liquor store owner uncovers an old crate of liquor which he sells for a dollar a bottle to local winos, who melt into colorful piles of goo after consuming it.
Shock Cinema Volume Three: Bloopers, Babes and Blood! (Shock Cinema Vol. 3) (1991) [tubi] - Brinke Stevens introduces movie clips (and/or trailers, and bloopers) from Nightmare Sisters, Deadly Embrace, Dr. Alien, Murder Weapon, Robot Ninja, Skinned Alive, and Ghoul School.

9/4/22

Film House Fever (1986) [tubi] - Steve Buscemi and Mark Boone Junior play two goofball cinephiles watching multiple movies on multiple TVs. After all the movies simultaneously come to an end on all the TVs, they have nothing to watch, so they head out to a movie theater that's having a film festival, and then we get to watch a bunch of clips from horror and exploitation movies (plus a couple of trailers) as the two goofballs occasionally react (and/or overreact) to what's happening onscreen.

9/5/22

Rest in Pieces (1987) [OtherWorlds TV] - After a woman kills herself, and her niece inherits all her property, the niece and her husband move into the late aunt's possibly haunted house, surrounded by homicidal, possibly deceased, neighbors.
Direct to Video: Straight to Video Horror of the 90s (2019) [tubi] - Documentary about STV horror flicks in the '90s
Horror of Our Love: A Short Film (2010) [American Horrors] - A masked killer pursues the young woman he loves.

9/7/22

Time Warp: The Greatest Cult Films of All-Time- Vol. 2 Horror and Sci-Fi (2020) [tubi] - Joe Dante, Illeana Douglas, Kevin Pollock and John Waters talk about some movies and show a bunch of clips from those movies and interview clips with people talking about those movies. It was a little odd to me to see Joe Dante praising Night of the Living Dead (1968), since when I saw him in person, around 30 years ago, he called it derivative because he said it was so obviously influenced by The Last Man on Earth (1964) (however he was sitting next to Richard Matheson when he said that).

9/8/22

Morgus Presents: Pharaoh's Curse (1957) [The Monster Channel] - People discover a mummy and unleash a curse. During the breaks, Dr. Morgus attempts to re-animate Cleopatra so they can fly off into space with some aliens who helped the Egyptians build the pyramids. I had just watched that movie a few months ago, so I didn't really watch it this time, I was only paying attention to the host segments because Dr. Morgus was a horror host I hadn't seen before. Sadly Wikipedia informs me that New Orleans horror host Dr. Morgus passed away in 2020.

9/9/22

28 Days Later (2002) - A man awakens from a coma, alone in an empty hospital, four weeks after a virus has turned most people into murderous rage zombies. He meets a few other survivors, and they take a road trip.
Zombie Town (Night of the Creeps 2: Zombie Town) (2007) - Parasitic slugs infest people in a small town, turning them into zombies.

I've got some good news and some bad news. The good news is there's a Night of the Creeps 2.

What's the bad news?

There's a Night of the Creeps 2.
Portrait of a Zombie (2012) - Follows a documentarian working on his latest project, a film about a family with a zombie son they keep locked away in his bedroom.

9/11/22

VHS Lives: A Schlockumentary (2017) [tubi] - A really long documentary about VHS, concentrating on interviews with current collectors and film makers (many who were in the previous movie I watched), interspersed with lots of old video company animated opening logos and Blockbuster commercials.
VHS Lives 2: Undead Format (2017) [tubi] - More of the same. Several collectors and modern film makers (many of them were also in the previous film) reminiscing about their favorite dead video format, interspersed with random VHS commercials (loved the Vincent Price Polaroid VHS tape commercial!) and video company animated opening logos.
VHS Nasty (2019) [tubi] - I figured I might as well complete the trilogy. This one concentrates on discussing "video nasties."

Slumber Party Slasherthon (2012) [tubi] - A few young ladies have a slumber party which is interrupted intermittently by random clips from RHR Home Video releases.

9/15/22

Shock Cinema Volume 2 (1991) [tubi] - Brinke Stevens hosts a collection of interview clips with other low budget movie actors and filmmakers, plus Forrest J. Ackerman, talking about making low budget movies.

9/21/22

Funny Games (1997) - Austrian home invasion flick where two fey preppies hold a couple and their young son hostage in the couple's large vacation home.

9/22/22

9/25/22

A Collection of Retro Halloween Commercials: From the 70s-90s [YouTube] - A potpourri of Halloween and/or horror themed commercials. A fun time waster, but the uneven volume from one commercial to the next was a little irritating.

This Year's OHMC List:
Spoiler:
9/30/22

I couldn't decide what to start with, so I decided to let Random.org pick a horror movie on Vudu (they have 1976 free with ads). It chose #1776, I scrolled to the 1776th horror movie on Vudu, and it's a Full Moon movie I haven't seen before, so here we go...

1) Hideous! (1997) [Vudu] - A guy working at a sewage treatment plant fishes out a deformed fetus. Eventually, it ends up in a medical oddities collection in an old castle, where it wakes up and reanimates three other oddities, and not much happens.
2) 555 (1988) - Someone is killing young couples. The police investigate (well, mostly they sit around talking). Eventually they hear that there have been similar killings in other cities (at five year intervals) where an unknown killer has gone on a five night killing spree, then disappeared.

10/1/22

3) Late Fee (2009) - On Halloween night, a couple go into a video store just as it's closing, looking to rent some really scary horror movies. They pick out two movies to rent, but at first, the proprietor demurs, saying those movies weren't supposed to be out on the shelf, then he relents (because it's Halloween) and agrees to let them rent them, provided they return them before midnight, or they'll have to pay a severe late fee. They rent the movies and go home, and we all watch the movies together. In the first one ("The Pick Up") a man gives a ride to a woman hitch-hiking on a lonely country road at night. We learn that this is a tryst, and that she is a prostitute. They stop at a motel, and eventually get down to business. Someone dies. In the second one ("Damnation"), a woman driving along a country road is stopped by a cop, handcuffed, drugged, tried in a kangaroo court, and sentenced to death.
4) The Barn (2016) - On Halloween, a group of thirty year old high school seniors driving to a concert in a nearby town get lost and wind up at the very barn which local legend says is guarded by three murderous Halloween demons. So, of course, they re-awaken the demons and people get killed...
5) Burke & Hare (Horrors of Burke and Hare) (1972) - Two men in Victorian Scotland go into business selling cadavers to a medical school. People get killed.
6) X (2022) - A few people drive out to a farm somewhere in Texas to make a porn film. People get killed.

10/2/22

7) Bloody Muscle Body Builder in Hell (The Japanese Evil Dead) (1995) [tubi] - A guy gets a phone call from an old girlfriend who is writing an article on haunted houses and wants to look for a ghost at a house he inherited from his father. Although he doesn't believe in ghosts, he agrees, and the two of them, and a psychic, go to the house, where they are entrapped by a ghost and must fight to escape.
8) L'assassino č ancora tra noi (The Killer is Still Among Us) (1986) [tubi] - A serial killer is murdering couples in Florence. A young woman studying criminology investigates.
9) The Signal (2007) [Pluto TV] - A strange signal which interrupts all television and radio broadcasts causes mass psychosis, making most people turn violent and kill indiscriminately.
10) Southbound (2015) [tubi] - Five interconnected stories which take place on a dark desert highway.
11) Last Night in Soho (2021) - After a young woman moves to London to study fashion design, she finds that when she sleeps, she experiences the life of another young woman living there in the 1960s. At first she is excited, but as the life of the woman in the past becomes less glamorous, the past and present begin to merge, exposing a mystery, and endangering her life.

10/3/22

12) Grave Secrets: The Legacy of Hilltop Drive (1992) - After a middle-aged couple (Patty Duke & David Selby) move into their new house, odd things start happening (e.g. the toilet flushing itself, the TV randomly switching channels, the garage door opening and shutting on its own, their pet birds being eaten alive by cockroaches). After a while, they learn that their house was built on an old cemetery, and later they learn that dealing with the bureaucrats to try to fix the situation might be worse than just living with the ghosts.
13) Wet Wilderness (1976) - Four people go into the woods. Some guy wearing a ski mask and carrying a machete happens by, and then the raping and killing starts (accompanied by music lifted from the Psycho soundtrack).
14) Gone the Way of Flesh (2006) - Women are turning up dead following performances by local band the Jason Martinko Revue (to quote the TV news guy in the movie, "Girls are just dying to see this band"), so it's up to the local cops to track down the killer while the Jason Martinko Revue plays a few songs.
15) Critters (1986) - Eight furry, ravenous, omnivorous alien creatures escape from a prison transport and travel to earth - closely followed by two shape-shifting bounty hunters - where they all wreak havoc on a small Kentucky farming community.
16) Critters 2 (Critters 2: The Main Course) (1988) - The bounty hunters return to earth to help the townsfolk take care of the new critters hatched from the eggs seen at the end of the first film.
17) Critters 3 (1991) - Apparently some critters somehow survived the second film (no explanation is given), and a few hitch a ride on a truck to Topeka, where they take up residence in a tenement and terrorize the other occupants. This one sets up part 4 in a scene played during the end credits.

10/4/22

18) Critters 4 (1992) - Picks up with the end credits scene from part 3 playing over the opening credits: Aliens stop the guy from destroying the last two Critter eggs (because all of a sudden completely wiping out the critters is not okay). He carries the eggs into a transport pod, but it lifts off before he gets out. Years later, the pod is found and picked up by a spaceship. It takes a while, but eventually the pod is opened, releasing the critters.
19) Critters Attack! (2019) - Critters land on earth again and kill people. So, I guess the aliens were wrong in the third and fourth movies about those two eggs being the last of them?

23) Ghoulies IV (1994) [Fawesome Horror] - In this one, the tiny rubber demon puppets are replaced by two little people in rubber suits, and they go to L.A., where the guy from the first movie is now a cop. Hijinks ensue.
24) The Night Visitor (1971) - A mental patient (Max von Sydow) convicted of an earlier ax murder is an obvious suspect for some recent killings, but he is locked up securely in an apparently escape proof fortress-like mental asylum.

29) Cameron's Closet (1988) - People are dying around young Cameron. The only question is whether he is killing them with his telekinetic abilities, or there really is a monster living in his closet.

36) Amityville in the Hood (2021) [tubi] - Gangsters grow weed in an old house in Amityville and people who smoke it become possessed and kill. This was a sequel to Amityville Clownhouse and Amityville Toybox, and includes lots of scenes from those two movies. Well, that's enough Amityville Mad Libs for today.
37) The Terror Within (1989) - Somewhere in a post-apocalyptic Mojave Desert, a group of survivors in a government laboratory bunker find a pregnant survivor and bring her into the bunker. Later, a rubber mutant baby monster pops out of the woman and hides in the air ducts, where it grows into a big rubber monster then comes out to kill.

Wild Card:

This is my 17th Challenge.


October 1, 2022
1. Hotel Transylvania: Transformania (2022, Prime Video)
I didn't plan on starting the challenge with this (wanted something with more "bite" - pardon the pun) but after a long day of setting up my yard decor, I was exhausted and this is what my son turned on.

October 3, 2022
2. Horror of Dracula☼ (1958, HBOMax)

October 4, 2022
3. Fright Night (1985, 4K UHD)

October 5, 2022
4. Mr. Harrigan's Phone☼ (2022, Netflix)

October 6, 2022
5. Monster House (2006, Roku Channel/DVD)
I only own the DVD so I decided to watch this in HD on The Roku Channel. It didn't look all that great to begin with, but when the first set of commercials kicked in less than 5 minutes into the movie, I said "NO WAY!" and turned on the DVD in all of its SD glory. LOL

October 8-14, 2022
Worked out of town for many hours a day. Challenge paused.

October 15, 2022
6. Halloween Ends☼ (2022, Theater)
As a stand-alone Halloween movie, I really liked it. But as a supposed "big finale" for the series, I think it falls short.

October 16, 2022
7. Trick 'r Treat (2007, Blu-ray)
I have been trying to show this to my daughter for the past few years and the stars finally aligned and we were able to watch this. Unfortunately, she didn't care too much for it. Ouch, that hurts, honey.

October 17, 2022
8. Poltergeist (1982, 4K UHD)
One of my absolute favorites!

October 18, 2022
9. The New York Ripper☼ (1982, Blu-ray)
This was one of the titles that I won a few years back that I haven't gotten to yet. When I posted on my Facebook page that I was watching it, a friend of mine replied with "You'll never think of Donald Duck or footsee the same way again." Indeed, Mike, indeed.

October 21, 2022
10. Night of the Demons☼ (2009, Prime Video)
I caught some of this a few years ago and wasn't too impressed. However, this time around it wasn't so bad. This original still kicks its ass.
11. Sometimes They Come Back☼ (1991, Prime Video)
Why do they bother making Stephen King stories into Made-For-TV movies? They always end up super -cheesy.

October 22, 2022
12. The 13th Floor Haunted House (2022, Haunted House)
13. The Catacombs at St. Pascal's Church (2022, Haunted House)
14 (.25). The Middle (S2|E6): "Halloween" (2010, HBO Max)
14 (.25). The Middle (S3|E7): "Halloween II" (2011, HBO Max)
After an evening of a couple haunted houses, my daughter requested these just to keep with the "Halloween" mood.

October 23, 2022
13. Halloween (1978, 4K UHD)
After seeing all the new Blumhouse Halloween movies, my daughter finally saw the original.

October 24, 2022
15. My Best Friend’s Exorcism☼ (2022, Prime Video)
I read the book a while back and it was great. After seeing the previews for this, I didn't have high hopes. But it wasn't half-bad.
16. Saw III (2006, Blu-ray)
17. Saw IV (2007, Blu-ray)
18. Saw V (2008, Blu-ray)
Whenever I plan to do a Saw marathon, I never seem to get passed the first two. So, I started with III this time. Other than the first three, I've only seen each Saw movie once, and I remember being a little confused watching some of the sequels the first time around. I couldn't even remember why the main antagonist in the later sequels was setting traps for people. These make more sense when viewed in succession. I like the clever use of flashbacks. Once you get passed the gore, the storylines are kind of fun.

October 25, 2022
19. Saw VI (2009, Blu-ray)
20. Saw: The Final Chapter (2010, Blu-ray)
I plan to finish with Jigsaw and Spiral, neither of which have I seen even once. And wouldn't you know it, it was just announced the Tobin Bell will return for the 10th Saw movie next year!

October 27, 2022
21. Jigsaw☼ (2017, Blu-ray)
22. Spiral: From the Book of Saw☼ (2021, Blu-ray)
Both were probably the weakest of the entire series, but still fun to watch!
23. Barbarian☼ (2022, HBOMax)

October 28, 2022
24. HellGate Haunted House (2022, Haunted House)

October 29, 2022
25. V/H/S☼ (2012, Hulu)
26. Spring☼ (2014, Hulu)

October 30, 2022
27. Hocus Pocus 2☼ (2022, Disney+)
28. It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966, 4K UHD)
29. The Cabin in the Woods (2011, Blu-ray)
30. (.5) Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities☼ (2022, Netflix)

October 31, 2022
14 (.25). The Middle (S6|E5): "Halloween V" (2014, HBO Max)
14 (.25). The Middle (S4|E6): "Halloween III: The Driving" (2012, HBO Max)



Final total: 29.5
13 FTV (movies only)

This was my 17th challenge

Re: The 18th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/31) ***The List Thread***

My Personal October Horror Movie Challenge History: 2007 - 100; 2008 - 50; 2009 - 71; 2010 - 78; 2011 - 52; 2012 - 52; 2013 - 74; 2014 - 67; 2015 - 100; 2016 - 31; 2017 - 53; 2018 - 54; 2019 - 43; 2020 - 95; 2021 - 75

2022 Goal - To be determined...

September 30
1. Castle Rock: Severance / Habeas Corpus (2018) ☼ [DVD] - Starting the first season of the show blindly, knowing nothing about the story. Pleasantly surprised to see the links to Stephen King's other works.

October 1
2. Assassination Nation (2018) ☼ [BD] - Won't find too many other films as bloody as this one.
3. Castle Rock: Local Color / The Box (2018) ☼ [DVD] - More mystery than horror, but still enjoyable.

October 2
4. The Meg (2018) [BD] - I never tire of this film. Not sure if it's because of or in spite of the over-the-top characters.

October 3
5. American Psycho (2000) [BD] - Hard to take your eyes off of this one, yet it makes you uncomfortable many times.

October 4
6. Psycho IV: The Beginning (1990) [BD] - Curious as to why this film was only made for television/cable.

October 5
7. Shimmer (2021) ☼ [BD] - Quirky little film, made even more enjoyable for picking it up blindly at a Dollar Tree recently.

October 6
8. The Boy (2016) ☼ [BD] - After recently noticing Lauren Cohan while watching The Walking Dead, I was glad to see her fill in capably in a lead role.
9. Spree (2020) ☼ [BD] - This movie was a wild ride. Pun may have been intended.

October 7
10. The Frighteners (1996) ☼ [BD] - A treat to see a younger and healthier Michael J. Fox on the screen.

October 8
11. Gwen (2018) ☼ [BD] - I had a hard time getting into this movie. The pace was slow and never seemed to pick up.
12. Castle Rock: Harvest / Filter (2018) ☼ [DVD] - The scenery moved away from the prison settings, but the atmosphere is still great.

October 9
13. Split (2016) [BD] - I feel like I'm still trying to figure this movie out. Maybe that's to be expected.

October 10
14. VFW (2019) ☼ [BD] - I'm not taking the time to double check, but I believe George Wendt just made his first appearance for me in the OHMC.
15. Us (2019) [BD] - Jordan Peele proved his initial directorial success was no fluke.

October 12
16. Monster Party (2018) ☼ [BD] - Bloodbath might be the first word I use to describe this movie.

October 13
17. Halloween Ends (2021) ☼ [Streaming] - I'd like to say with time, my opinion of this move may change for the better. I strongly doubt it though. Very disappointing.

October 17
18. If She Screams (2020) ☼ [BD] - I suffered through this one wondering several times along the way what prompted me to buy the BD at some point.

October 18
19. Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich (2018) ☼ [BD] - Only vaguely familiar with this series. I wasn't expecting much from this one, but pleasantly surprised.

October 20
20. Winchester (2018) ☼ [BD] - I'd probably rate the movie as mediocre, elevated slightly by a great cast.

October 21
21. Castle Rock: The Queen / Past Perfect (2018) ☼ [DVD] - The horror element of the series ramped up in these two episodes.

October 24
22. Castle Rock: Henry Deaver / Romans (2018) ☼ [DVD] - While enjoyable overall, I've found that the horror genre seems best suited for films rather than television content.

October 25
23. Glass (2019) ☼ [BD] - I had an unusual experience with this film, being distracted seeing Bruce Willis on the screen while knowing of his health struggles.

October 31
24. Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) ☼ [DVD] - Hard to make a better transition from horror to comedy than with this classic.

Summary (may not be updated until end of month) - 19/24 entries were first time views; BDs: 17; DVDs: 6; Streaming: 1; Theatrical: 0

☼ = First Time Viewing

I’m in

Blu-rays - 8
4K - 1

Tough October for me. The passing of my dog early in the month hit me very hard and as a result, I wasn't in much of a mood to watch horror, or anything much at all.

List is final

1. Them (Ils) - blu-ray

10-14-2022:
2. Halloween (2018) - blu-ray

10-15-2022:

September 30: Indie/Arthouse crossover
1. THE HAUNTING (1963) [Blu Ray] - *★★★★★- One of my to five horror films of all time. Wonderful to see it on blu ray. Shirley Jackson is brilliant.
Watched for: subset, ghost/haunting, voice-over narration, decade: 1960s
2. LE MAIN DU DIABLE (1943) ☼ [DVD] - ★★★✰✰ - This fast-paced vintage French thriller is a different twist on the disembodied hand trope. It didn't go where I expected. Solid.
Watched for: They Shoot Zombies list, language: French, decade: 1940s, TCM's schedule
3. SISSY (2022) ☼ [Shudder] - ★★✰✰ - Satirical take on social media influencers. The middle sagged a bit and there were parts that didn't quite work, but I enjoyed the third act quite a bit.
Watched for: comedy/spoof, nation of origin: Australia, female director: Hannah Barlow, new release
October 1: Christopher Lee Centennial
4. COUNT DRACULA (1970) ☼ [Amazon] - *★★✰✰✰ - Straight-up, by the book adaptation of Dracula with nothing new. Feels like it was phoned in by everyone involved.
Watched for: subset, actor: Christopher Lee, based on a novel
5. THE MAN WHO COULD CHEAT DEATH (1959) ☼ [DVD] ★★★✰✰ - Exuberant over-acting by Anton Diffring notwithstanding, this is a fun little vintage horror movie. Very mild on the horror.
Watched for: Theme
6. COUNTESS DRACULA (1971) ☼ [DVD] ★★★✰✰ - Fun little twist on Dracula with Ingrid Pitt as an aging countess who finds the blood of virgins keeps her young. I enjoyed the cougar aspect and the little love triangle.
Watched for: Director Peter Sasdy.
7. INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE (2022) - Episode 1 (75 minutes) - ★★★★★ - I was so excited to see a new version of Interview come out! It's one of my favorite novels of all time. The new Lestat beats Tom Cruise by a mile and I love the new Louis as well as the cynical reporter character. I'm sold!
October 2: Flashbacks
8. LAST NIGHT IN SOHO (2021) [Amazon] - ★★★★✰ - This was my second watch. Still mesmerizing.
Watched for: Subset pick, candy cinema
9. MEN (2022) ☼ [Amazon] - ★★★★★ - Loved this. There's a casting conceit which was fantastic and there's an utterly memorable body horror sequence at the end. Gorgeous English scenery and sound track. Creepy af and very fresh.
Watched for: Theme, new release
10. MOTHER! (2007) ★★✰✰✰ - This film was so focused on being an allegory that it made little sense literally and just comes off as weird. There were long boring bits mixed with utter chaos. The "guests" obnoxious behavior gets tedious and repetitive. Intellectually interesting but not a fun watch.
Watched for: Theme, They Shoot Zombies list, cannibalism
11. HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES (2003) ☼ [Amazon] - ★✰✰✰✰ - The ugliness, brutality, and grossness of the wacko family exceeded my tolerance.
Watched for: They Shoot Zombies list, 1st time: Karen (Black),
11.5. INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE (2022), EPISODE 2 ☼ [AMC+] - 52 minutes. I'm in love with this new series from AMC+.
12.5 AMITYVILLE II: THE POSSESSION (1982) ☼ [blu ray]
★★✰✰✰ - This hot mess is oddly compelling at times. It goes to some very dark places including incest and child murder. It was getting sort of interesting, but the very end is a total Exorcist ripoff. A curiosity.
Watched for: Amityville/bad shark movie, witchcraft/religion/satan, 1st watch: Indian burial ground
October 3: Psychological Horror
13.5. INTRUDER (1989) ☼ [Amazon] - ★★★✰✰- Pretty fun 80's slasher I'd never heard of before. The setting is night shift in a grocery store--lots of opportunities for gory kills in the meat department. Fun characters and a little whodunnit twist.
Watched for: They Shoot Zombies list
14.5. THE NUMBER 23 (2007) [Amazon] - ★★✰✰✰- I saw this years ago and remembered nothing about it. I love this type of movie, but this one was let down by miscasting Jim Carrey in the lead and an ending that felt unlikely and too deliberately twisty.
Watched for: Theme, fog, split personality
15.5. BEAST (2017) [Amazon] - ★★✰✰✰ (2.5 stars)- This is more a family/small town drama than horror to me. A series of murders plagues an island. A downtrodden girl lies to protect her handsome lover, but is he guilty? Timeline was so disjointed and confusing, and Moll's abusive family was a bit hard to take.
Watched for: subset
16.5. THE MAD MAGICIAN (1954) ☼ [blu ray] - ★★★✰✰ (2.5 stars)- A fun enough vintage Vincent Price I'd never seen. Classic b&w gothic pot-boiler.
Watched for: actor: Price
17.5. MY BEST FRIEND'S EXORCISM (2022) ☼ [Amazon] - ★★★✰✰ (2.5 stars) - Hum. Very YA, so it felt light despite the possession. But I was good with something lighter towards the end of the day. I enjoyed it well enough. Not a keeper.
Watched for: new release, 1st time: foot chase, Ouija board
18. QUEER FOR FEAR, episode #1 (2022) ☼ [Shudder] - ★★★★✰ 47 minutes- I enjoyed thinking about some of my favorite films in a new way.
Watched for: documentary
October 4: Folk Horror
19. TILBURY (1987) ☼ [Shudder] - ★✰✰ ✰ ✰ - The Icelandic legend this is based on is interesting, I suppose, but the movie is so bad. Seems much older than 1987 to me.
Watching for: Subset, language: Icelandic
20. A FIELD IN ENGLAND (2013) ☼ [Amazon] - ★★✰ ✰ ✰ - There are some beautifully poetic images in this film, and the characters and actors were terrific. But this is a film, like Mother!, which is too clever by half and more concerned with it's allegory and symbolism than in having a story that makes sense.
Watched for: Theme, folk horror
21. DEMON (2015) ☼ [Amazon] - ★★★✰✰ I really liked this up to the ending. I was hoping there'd be some kind of resolution to the possession--they learn the grandfather killed German Jews or whatever. But it isn't resolved. Or maybe the ending is simply unsatisfactory. It's still worth watching. The lead performance by Itay Tiran is amazing.
Watched for: Theme, language: Polish, drunk horror
22. GHOST SHIP (1943) ☼ [Amazon] - ★★★✰✰ - Fairly straight-forward vintage thriller about a crazy sea captain and what happens when no one will believe the new third mate about it. Easy to watch palette cleanser today.
Watched for: takes place on a boat
October 5: Writer
23. I, MADMAN (1989) ☼ [blu ray] - ★★★✰✰ (3.5 stars) I really liked this one. The bibliophile angle was right up my alley, and the serial killer aspect gave it a nice little mystery feel. "No one will believe me" movies can get frustrating, but I didn't feel that way with this one. Good cast. The ending was a little deux ex machina, but then, they are fictional characters.
Watching for: Subset
24. THESIS (1996) ☼ [blu ray] - ★★★★✰ Solid Spanish thriller-horror about a woman who discovers a snuff film made at her university and tries to track down the killer/filmmaker. There are some decent red herrings and redirects and the leads are quite good.
Watching for: They Shoot Zombies list, theme, language: Spanish
25. MR. HARRIGAN'S PHONE (2022) ☼ [Netflix] - ★★★★✰ really enjoyed this. It's not hard-core horror but more of a small town, coming-of-age vignette with one spooky supernatural aspect. Terrific performances all around, especially Donald Sutherland. It has a lot of heart and an old-fashioned sort of innocence.
Watching for: new release, coming-of-age, name in title
26. THE DARK HALF (1993) [blu ray] - ★★★✰✰ Decent, glossy 90's horror movie. Not too gory with lots of character stuff and some "poor guy getting railroaded" tension. Early on, when Thad was a boy, there's a scene where he has horrible headaches and they remove a "tumor" which has an eye. It's an absorbed twin. That's a cool conceit, but they never quite sell how this twin becomes a separate person despite some mumbo-jumbo. A fun watch but not King's best. I saw this years ago but remembered nada.
Watching for: They Shoot Zombies list, theme
October 6: the Synth of Fear
27. MANDY (2018) [blu ray] - ★★★✰✰ This second go round, I still appreciate the visuals but was even more impatient for the story to move. No doubt, there are some great sequences but it annoys me when "auteurs" make things deliberately obtuse and hard to follow.
Watching for: Subset
28. CHILDREN SHOULDN'T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS (1972) ☼ [blu ray] - ★★✰✰✰ - At first, I thought this would a low-budget dud, but it drew me in with a decent troupe of characters, an obnoxious director that you really wanted to see get a comeuppance, and some gross corpse-play. Not bad for a B zombie movie.
Watching for: Theme, They Shoot Zombies list
29. ANGST (1983) ☼ [blu ray] - ★★★✰✰ - This film pulls no punches. Entirely from a deranged killer's POV, including lots of his mental (and I do mean *mental*) internal dialogue, it's very violent at times, but overall it is more disturbed and tense than gory. It is more of a study of a psychotic mind than a home invasion movie. I can't say I *enjoyed* it, but I found it original. Thank God nothing happened to the dog!
Watching for: Theme, They Shoot Zombies list, based on a true story
30. HOCUS POCUS 2 (2022) ☼ [Disney+] - ★★★★✰ - [WILDCARD #1] This started out a little rough, but once the true sisters show up, it picks up. I loved the musical numbers including the one during the ending credits. Bette Midler still has it! I could watch the three of them all day. The story was serviceable and the production values terrific, as you'd expect. Taking as a wildcard since it's more fantasy than horror.
Watching for: New release, female director
October 7: Found Footage
31. DIARY OF A MADMAN (1963) ☼ [blu ray] - ★★★✰✰ Classic Vincent Price. He plays a judge who condemns a man to death for murder, but the man claims some mysterious force made him do it. The force (a "horla") starts compelling the judge to do bad things. Pretty cheesy but fun.
Watched for: Actor: Vincent Price; Director Reginald Le Borg
32. THE TAKING OF DEBORAH LOGAN (2014) [blu ray] - ★★★★✰ I dug it. I liked the slow corruption of the very proper old lady. What a fearless performance from Jill Larson. Wow. The slow reveal of the backstory involving the Satanic pediatrician, and the snakes, was nicely done and lent the film a mystery flavor. It's refreshing that the possession was not your typical demon. This works great as found footage.
Watched for: Subset, theme, takes place in a basement
33. THE WITCH (2015) [blu ray] - ★★★★★ This s one of my favorite horror movies. I love the creepy historical period setting and the use of witch lore. The way the family is slowly torn apart and tormented and suspects each other. Black Phillip. The beautiful and horrible final scene. This is stellar horror. Rewatch.
Watched for: composer: Mark Korven
34. DEADSTREAM (2022) ☼ [Shudder] - ★★★★✰ A crazy vlogger spends the night in a haunted house. This was SO fun and creative, I feel like I want to go back and read every single text message that appears on the screen. The lead actor is a total hoot and, damn, does he leave it all on the stage. Bravo, Great use of found footage.
Watched for: Theme, new release, scene in an abandoned building
35. SIGNIFICANT OTHER (2022) ☼ [Paramount+] - ★★★✰✰ I watched this to see the forest scenery of the Pacific NW. And wow, is the scenery gorgeous. They did a great job showcasing the region. The story begins with something crashing to Earth, so it's not much of a spoiler to say this involves ETs. There are some nice twists and fresh thematic elements. Worth a watch.
Watched for: new release, takes place in a forest, extraterrestrial
October 8: Zombies
36. THE SADNESS (2021) [Shudder] ★★★★✰ - Zombies have been done to death (no pun intended), so for a new film to leave an impression it has to be really gonzo. And this one is. These zombies are more interested in sex than brains. Super gory, but it's easier for me to take gore in a zombie flick, which is complete fantasy, vs something like home invasion or a serial killer film. Enjoyed it on this second watch.
Watched for: Subset
37. LAND OF THE DEAD (2005) ☼ [blu ray] ★★★✰✰ - (3.5 stars) Loved Dennis Hopper and Simon Baker in this. Sort of original story with the rich ensconced in a guarded town and new, smarter zombies invade.
Watched for: Theme, Asia Argento, They Shoot Zombies list
38. RESIDENT EVIL (2002) ☼ [Hulu] ★★★✰✰ - You can definitely tells this is adapted from a video game. The premise of the mega corporation inventing a bioweapon isn't new. But Milla Jovovich makes this. It's a little action-heavy for me but mostly entertaining.
Watched for: Theme, They Shoot Zombies list
39. JERUZALEM (2015) [Amazon] ★★★✰✰ - I watched this years ago and wanted to rewatch it for the Jerusalem scenery and Jewish mysticism elements. I swear I recall there being more Jewish mysticism involved, but this is actually pretty light on that aspect. The "Glass" glasses are, yes, annoying, as is the main character. Her reactions to most things feels off and over-the-top. It also takes a fair amount of time for anything to happen. However, this film is one of the best I've seen for representing the modern city of Jerusalem. It's worth watching for that reason alone, but the winged beings are pretty cool and the last act is decent horror.
Watched for: Theme
40. BEAST (2022) ☼ [Peacock] ★★✰✰✰ (2.5 stars) - I was really looking forward to this since both my SO and I really like creature features. It was a bit of a let-down. The lion is clearly CGI--good CGI, but still. The characters constantly do stupid things that make their situation worse. We can't have them actually drive away, so they immediately crash the car. It just feels like a series of excuses the writer's use to keep them in danger. The whole "father needs to reconnect with estranged daughters" trope has also been done to death. The South African scenery was nice. 2.5/5 stars.
October 9: Werewolves
41. THE CURSED (2021) [hulu] ★★★★✰ - This movie is definitely in my wheelhouse. A historical werewolf movie? Yes, please. I saw this right after it was released. I liked it then and I liked it just as much this viewing. The set of teeth is an interesting twist. This is on my list of favorite werewolf movies.
Watched for: Subset
42. LINK (1986) ☼ [blu ray] ★★★✰✰ - Three stars for a unique concept and non-gory horror. Elizabeth Shue plays a grad student who is hired to help a professor (Terence Stamp) who works with apes. The setting of his old manor house on the cliffs overlooking the sea in some remote area of the UK is gorgeous. The prof has 3 apes currently - a chimp named Imp, a female older chimp and a 45-year old orangutang named Link that he got from the circus. As you might imagine, things go bad when Link gets ideas of his own and terrorizes the household. The third act of the film is a hide-and-seek chase. The action/horror parts aren't all that compelling, but the work with the chimps is interesting and unique for a horror film.
Watched for: Two movies with similar plots (with Money Shines)
43. I WAS A TEENAGED WEREWOLF (1957) ☼ [YouTube] ★★✰✰✰ - The doctor was trying to achieve what now? Wow, the "science" behind the transformation came out of left field and made no sense. The story was otherwise very predictable. The vintage 50's vibe was cool.
Watched for: Theme
43.5. WEREWOLF BY NIGHT (2022) ☼ [Disney] ★★★★✰ - This was great! Loved the monster hunter theme and Ted. Really fun.
Watched for: Theme, new release
44. QUEER FOR FEAR - EPISODE 2 (2022) ☼ [AMC+] ★★✰✰ - A solid episode featuring James Whale, Hitchcock, and Tony Perkins.
Watched for: New release, documentary
October 10: Holiday Horrors
45. THE DAY OF THE BEAST (1995) [blu ray] ★★★✰✰ - This is fun but I have the feeling it is a lot funnier to those more immersed in the Catholic/Spanish culture. To me some of it seemed juvenile.
Watched for: Subset
46. MY BLOODY VALENTINE (2008) [blu ray]★★★✰✰ (2.5 stars) - A solidly "okay" slasher and whodunnit thriller. Not nearly as good as the first one.
Watched for: Theme -Valentine's Day
47. SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT (1984) [blu ray] ★★✰✰✰ - This is so bad on so many levels. Cheap production, bad actors, and defaming Santa Claus. Is there no shame?
Watched for: Theme - Christmas, They Shoot Zombies list
October 11: Mash-up
48. POLTERGEIST III (1988) [Amazon] - ★★✰✰✰ (2.5 stars) -I picked this for the high rise angle. It was not bad but a little predictable and, yes, the use of the name "Carol Anne" starts to get grating. Carol Anne has been sent to live with an aunt and uncle in a high rise only "the Preacher" ghost finds her. They could have done more havoc with the high rise, IMHO. Also: Tangina is the weirdest name ever.
Watched for: Theme - high rises
49. THE BURBS (1989)[blu ray] -★★★✰✰ (3.5 stars) - It's nice to have a lighter comedy at this stage of the challenge. I admit, the middle lost me a bit. I started browsing on my phone --never a good sign. But once they snuck into the basement it picked back up for me. The ending, where Hanks has the hissy outside the house with the cops there and then throws himself into the ambulance is pure comic gold. And I loved Carrie Fisher in this even though she had a smaller role. Just a great cast all around.
Watched for: Subset
50. LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS (1960) [Amazon] ★★✰✰✰ (2.5 stars) - After seeing the 1986 musical version, the 1960's version feels quite plain and resembles a stage play. Poor Seymour raises a strange plant that feeds on blood. The humor is very Jewish. Okay, but a pale comparison to the Rick Moranis version.
Watched for: They Shoot Zombies list, Producer - Roger Corman
October 12: Regional Horror
51. WINTERBEAST (1992) [Amazon] - ★✰✰✰✰ - Uber low-budget/amateur film. Story wasn't bad, but the acting and production values were awful.
Watched for: subset
52. THE SORCERERS (1967) [blu ray] - ★★★✰✰ (3.5 stars) - This was a really nice surprise. Karloff plays a very old doctor who hypnotizes a young man so he and his wife can experience what he does when he's out in the world and even control his thoughts. Karloff's wife turns out to be incredibly wicked and wants the boy to do horrible things while Karloff tries to stop her. It's quite intriguing and tense in spots, a mix of weird crime thriller and 60's hippy culture. I really enjoyed it.
Watched for: They Shoot Zombies list, actor - Karloff
53. MAN BITES DOG (1992) [blu ray] - ★★★✰✰ - This is a clever and biting exploration of violence and the media and how we've come to accept random violence. But it was pretty... Euro... in tone and humor. Very well done. I think I admired it more than I enjoyed watching it, if that makes any sense.
Watched for: They Shoot Zombies list, Theme
October 13: Giallo
54. CENSOR (2021) [Hulu] ★★✰✰✰ (2.5 stars) - I enjoyed the throwback to the video nasties era. But I would have liked some more concrete answers on the missing sister mystery. The ending felt like it was designed for lurid effect and didn't really make sense to me with the character. I didn't quite buy it.
Watched for: subset
55. LIZARD IN A WOMAN'S SKIN (1971) [blu ray] ★★✰✰✰ (2.5 stars) - Lurid whodunnit potboiler in which a swinging party girl is murdered and the rich young wife next door dreamed about it and is a suspect. Not bad. Not that memorable.
Watched for: Theme, They Shoot Zombies list
56. THE BLACK CAT (1981) [blu ray] ★★★✰✰ - I enjoyed this more than other Fulci films. It's less focused on cheap gore. It's an intereting take on Poe's The Black Cat, though that doesn't really come in until the end. Effectively creepy if ultimatley nonsensical.
Watched for: Theme, Actor: David Warbeck; make up Guiliarmo
57. THE MIDNIGHT CLUB - Episode #1&2 (2022) [Netflix] - Midnight Mass was my favorite horror series last year, so I was really looking forward to this. But so far, it is just okay, a bit of a let down. It's been more about the teens and their illnesses than anything supernatural. And I'm already super sick of prickly Anya who has been over leveraged as the only source of drama in the show. Hopefully it will get better.
Watched for: new release
October 14: Sleezoid
58. TROUBLE EVERY DAY (2001) [streaming] ★★★✰✰ - Kind of slow, but I like the concept. Second watch. I'd forgotten most of it, so there's that.
Watched for: subset
59. CLIMAX (2018) [amazon] ★✰✰✰✰ - OMG, I hated this so much. Way too much filler content for the first hour, then the "climax" was watching people off their heads screaming, vomiting, wandering around in a daze. If I thought that was entertaining, I'd spend my weekends at the county jail. Really do NOT get the high ratings for this at all.
Watched for: Theme
60. THE CURSE OF BRIDGE HOLLOW (2022) [Netflix] ★★★★✰ - It may just be getting to that point in the challenge where I am in need of something light, but I thought this was really fun and well-written. Like HUBIE'S HALLOWEEN last year, this is a great palette cleanser.
Watched for: new release
61. LET THE RIGHT ONE IN - EPISODES 1 & 2 (2022) [Showtime] ★★★★✰ - I loved both movies and I really dig this new series. The main boy is pretty weak, but the vampire girl is good and there's a new plotline involving a second vampire in the area that is very promising.
Watched for: new release
October 15: 80's VIdeo Companies Spotlight
62. I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE (1978) [blu ray] ★★★★✰ - Second watch, and I still really like this rape/revenge flick. It's gritty and realistic and the bad guys all get taken out in the end.
Watched for: subset
63. I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE (2010) ☼ [blu ray] ★★★★✰ - First watch of hte 2010 version. I quite like this as well. It fixes a number of plotholes from the first film and includes a bit less rape and lots more creative deaths of the rapists.
Watched for: Watch a film and its remake on the same night
63.5. QUEER FOR FEAR - EP #3 (2022) ☼ [Shudder] ★★★✰✰ - This episode is about shifters and body snatchers and how that mirrors the experience of being queer. Good episode. 55 minutes
Watched for: new release
64.5. INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE - EP #3&4 (2022) ☼ [AMC+] ★★★★★ - This series is so freaking good!!! I'm completely in love with it.
Watched for: new release
October 16: The Frightfest Guide
65.5. THE WHIP AND THE BODY (1963) [blu ray] ★★★✰✰ - Euro gothic potboiler. This wouldn't be remarkable except for the unusual S&M angle and the super dark Christopher Lee performance. An interesting watch.
Watched for: subset
66.5. SALOUM (2022) ☼ [Shudder] ★★★✰✰ - (3.5 stars) The setting (in Senegal) and African folklore of this film is a welcome change from the typical Western horror film. Well acted with stunning scenery and decent special effects. The story had a revenge angle.
Watched for: new release
67.5. GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN (1941) ☼ [blu ray] ★★★✰✰ - One of the better Universal Frankenstein movies I've seen (besides the original and Bride). Ygor (Lugosi) takes the monster to Frankenstein's son's lab and they devise a plan to replace his brain. Lots of iconic images.
Watched for: They Shoot Zombies list
68.5 DOCTOR X (1932) ☼ [blu ray] ★★★✰✰ - A mix of fast-talking 30's comedy and "mysterious killer" horror. Fun and campy.
Watched for: They Shoot Zombies list
October 17: Chronological (1922, 1947, 1972, 1997)
69.5. SALOME (1922) ☼ [YouTube] ★★★✰✰ - I thought this was refreshing after so much horror, though it is odd that it's categorized as such. It was interesting how the story differed from the biblical version. I never read Wilde's version, but I'm guessing he made those changes. The dance was a little underwhelming. I think there's a 40's or 50's Salome that has a great dance sequence.
Watched for: subset
70.5. SCARED TO DEATH (1947) ☼ [Amazon] ★★✰✰✰ - It really is a forgettable movie and Lugosi is hammy and wasted at the same time. The backstory is heavy yet it's all treated in a light manner. This is not a great film by any means. But on the other hand, it was a nice, cheesy break at this stage in the challenge, and I enjoyed watching it.
Watched for: subset
71.5. BEN (1972) ☼ [blu ray] ★★★✰✰ - This feels a little like a 70's TV movie. I didn't realize it was a sequel to Willard until I stated watching it. The main character is a little boy and there are thousands of rats hiding out after killing Willard. Decent for a creature feature and the vintage vibe was fun.
Watched for: Theme, TCM Underground anniversary
72.5. ANACONDA (1997) [blu ray] ★★★✰✰ - The CGI snake is awful, and Jon Voight's accent is laughable. Yet I found this a fun creature feature romp. The little (real) snakes in the film are genuinely creepy.

October 18: Supernatural
74. CALVAIRE (2004) ☼ [DVD] ★✰✰✰✰ - I watched this in my quest to view the first 500 films on the They Shoot Zombies, Don't They? list. I avoided it for a long time because it didn't sound like my thing. I was right. This is an ugly, bleak film with no redeeming qualities. It's like Deliverance set in rural France only it's missing any kind of story arc, or the good actors, and adds in a squalid smear of animal abuse, and a non-ending that denies the viewer even the remotest whiff of satisfaction. How a film like this gets on the best of anything list is a mystery unless it's for being so uniquely dark.
Watched for: They Shoot Zombies list
75. NIGHT TRAIN TO TERROR (1985) ☼ [blu ray] ★★✰✰✰ -This truly feels like bits of 3 or 4 movies put together. I liked the philosophical God/Satan stuff, but the dance party was just strange (though funny) and the stories were just ok. The creepy Nazi-demon was genuinely scary. Overall, certainly not a gem but a fun enough distraction tonight.

76 & 77. THE SECRET OF CRICKLEY HALL (2012) ☼ [Amazon] ★★★★✰ (3.5 stars) - Three 1-hour episodes. Counts as two. I really liked this BBC TV ghost story. The story involves a contemporary family whose son went missing. They move into Crickley Hall, which was an orphanage during WWII. The ghosts of the children still haunt the hall and, as the episodes progress, you learn what awful things went on there. A nice late-life role for David Warner, who plays the older neighbor. Worth a watch if you're an Anglophile or a fan of ghost stories.

78. CLOSE CALL (2017) ☼ [roku] ✰✰✰✰✰ - Really, really, really not my cup of tea. My worst subset watch this year. Zero stars.
Watched for: subset
79. THE SIGNAL (2007) ☼ [blu ray] ★★✰✰✰- There are some interesting elements of this including unreliable narrators. Because the weird TV/radio signal makes people crazy and violent, they imagine things that aren't real. So you can never quite tell if what you are seeing on film is literal or a hallucination. Other than that aspect, this feels like a movie a bunch of friends got together to make. The actors are all unknown and not the best. There's lots of random violence and things that are supposed to be funny but are juvenile. The plot mainly revolves around a woman and her lover who are trying to get away from her violent husband. But when "the signal" hits, their escape gets complicated. There's a long middle section which takes place at a neighbor's house that drags and feels like filler.

80. HALLOWEEN: H2O (1998) [blu ray] ★★★★✰ (3.5 stars) - I quite enjoyed this installment of Halloween. I think I saw it years ago, but I didn't remember much. Laurie Strode has changed her name and is head mistress of a boarding school where she live with her son, Josh Harnett (in his first film, I think). Laurie is still traumatized and imagines Michael coming back for her. Only this year, he really does. Some good tension and kills plus a wonderful ending. Not the best in the series, but very good.

81. DRACULA - THE SPANISH VERSION (1931) ☼ [blu ray] - Really enjoyable. The sets and awsome b&w cinematography are as good as the US 1931 Dracula but we get to see it with a fresh cast, which was fun. I didn't think the actor playing Dracula could hold a candle to Lugosi, but the Renfield was wonderful. Quite good.

October 20: Vampires
82. MARK OF THE VAMPIRE (1935) ☼ [Amazon] ★★★✰✰- This had some marvelous, iconic b&w horror imagery with the gypsies, villagers, Lugosi as Dracula, his creepy female vampire, old castles, etc. I really liked the first 3/4 of it. But the ending was lame and destroyed the build-up, IMHO. I can see where the creators thought it a clever twist at the time, but I found it a let down.
Watched for: subset
83. STAKE LAND (2010) ☼ [blu ray] ★★★★✰ - This is so beautifully done. It's a post-apocalyptic journey story, which didn't excite me at first, but the characters are so real and so heartbreaking and there's sadness, and loss, and hope, and found family, and lots of badassery too. The vampire effects are amazing.
Watched for: Theme, They Shoot Zombies list
84. THE KISS OF THE VAMPIRE (1963) ☼ [blu ray] ★★★✰✰ - Hum. A mid-level Hammer. There were no recognizable stars in this tale of honeymooners who fall into a trap. The vampires in the film are a cult and there's a bit of attempted gaslighting that falls flat, I thought. The leads were appealing if awfully naďve. The story wasn't super exciting but it kept me engaged.
Watched for: Theme, They Shoot Zombies list
85. SHADOW OF THE VAMPIRE (2000) [DVD] - ★★★★✰ - I saw this years ago and didn't love it. But I thought it was terrific on this viewing. John Malkovich was believable as a director so dedicated to his art he was willing to sacrifice his stars and William DaFoe gave the performance of his career as a real life vampire cast in Nosferatu. It's definitely a comedy, but there were genuinely creepy bits as well. Loved the old Czech village setting.

October 21: Joe Bob
86. HELL HIGH (1989) ☼ [digital download] ★★✰✰✰ (2.5 stars) - They really took some unexpected turns with this script. It was a decent 80's film I'd never seen before, and I enjoyed it.
Watched for: subset
87. ELVIRA'S HAUNTED HILLS (JOE BOB HALLOWEEN HOOTENANNY) (2001) ☼ [Shudder] ★★✰✰✰ (2.5 stars) - If you like Halloween camp, this is a fun watch. Elvira rules. I enjoyed the Joe Bob segments more than the film.
Watched for: Theme
88. Slash/Back (2022) ☼ [Amazon] ★★★★✰ - I loved this. The Artic scenery was spectacular and I liked the "girl gang" vibe of this. It's similar to Stand By Me only it's young teen girls, not boys, and, well, they're Inuit. The horror aspects are mild, but the creature effects are very well done and creepy. It has hints of Invasion of the Body Snatches as well as The Thing, which they mention in the film. This is one to share with older kids and non-horror fans. A keeper.

October 22: Slashers/Serial Killers
89. X (2022) [VOD] ★★★★✰ - A solid 4/5 stars for being unique and ballsy. Good acting, good production all the way around. I haven't seen Pearl, but I'm looking forward to it.
Watched for: subset, Composer: Tyler Bates
90. FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VI: JASON LIVES (1986) ☼ [blu ray] ★★★✰✰ - I've only seen the first Friday the 13th, so I'm not the target audience for this film. It doesn't require seeing the entire series, IMO. The plot is pretty straight-forward with the dead Jason Voorhees coming back to life thanks to a bolt of lightening and going on a killing spree involving camp counselors once again and basically anyone who enters the woods. There's a lot of comedy here, and the kills are mostly offscreen. A fun 80s slasher for those who want more goofs than brutality.
Watched for: Theme, They Shoot Zombies list
91. POPCORN (1991) ☼ [blu ray] -★★✰✰✰ (2.5 stars) Early 90's slasher that is typical of the genre. There's an elaborate plot that mixes in some Phantom of the Opera flavor, a cast of characters that get stalked one-by-one in a movie theater, and a backstory that gets slowly revealed over time. The villain of the story is revealed about 3/4 of the way through and is way over the top and cheesy. An okay watch but not my favorite of the genre.
Watched for: Theme, They Shoot Zombies list, Composer: Paul Zaza
92. BODIES BODIES BODIES (2022) ☼ [Amazon] ★★★✰✰- (3.5 stars) An ensemble thriller in which bad things happen at a weekend away with a group of friends. As people start dying the question is: Who is the killer. Decent twist ending. I had fun with it.

October 23: Trek or Treat
94.5. LORD OF ILLUSIONS (1995) [DVD] ★★✰✰✰ (2.5 stars) - This has interesting elements--mostly the cult stuff. But it's a hodgepodge mixture (noir detective, cult horror) that doesn't totally gel IMHO. Maybe it's the high 90's cheese factor, which a lot of Barker's films fall prey to. The ending is so OTT. A harmless watch that is ultimately pretty forgettable.
Watched for: subset
96. INLAND EMPIRE (2006) ☼ [blu ray] ★✰✰✰✰ - OMG. This is my second to the last entry to watch to finish #1-500 of the They Shoot Zombies, Don't They? list. I've put it off because it's 3 freaking hours and I'm very hot and cold about Lynch. Welp, this was one I hated. I was engaged for the first hour or so in which there was mostly a logical flow, but the narrative gets so disjointed and confusing after that it totally lost me. Like wtf is going on: And then I lost interest. And I still had an hour to suffer through. Ugh. I hate it when "artistes" think they can dispense with a coherent story. No. - This is 3 hours and I suffered for it. Taking it as 1.5.
Watched for: They Shoot Zombie list
97. BURKE & HARE (2010) ☼ [Amazon] ★★★✰✰ - Quite a light-hearted approach to Burke and Hare, the Edinburgh body snatchers. A fun distraction. It was nice to see Tim Curry and Christopher Lee in this, though they both had small roles.
Watched for: Theme - Simon Pegg
98 THE DAMNED (1962) ☼ [blu ray] ★★★★✰ - I loved this! I'd never heard of it before but saw it rec'd on a forum. The black & white cinematography is gorgeous. It stars a young Oliver Reed. The story is a bit of a mash-up. It starts out with a young hoodlum gang and then rolls into something totally different when they discover a secret scientific base and strange children. I don't want to give away spoilers but this is definitely a Cold War era movie. Fun stuff.

October 24: Passport to Terror
99. HIROKU THE GOBLIN (1981) ☼ [blu ray] ★★★✰✰ - Fun 80's horror feature, a bit cheesy, but also genuinely creepy in spots. Terrific special effects work and a lot of it. Worth a watch.
Watched for: subset, Theme - Japan
100. DUMPLINGS (2004) ☼ [VOD] ★★★★✰ - I really liked this super creepy body horror/cannibalism movie. A woman sells dumplings that are made with aborted fetuses which are supposed to make you younger. Her client wants to look younger to save her marriage. The "dumpling ingredients" look realistic and there's a gnarly operation scene too. Strange and original.
Watched for: Theme - China
101. THE LONG HAIR OF DEATH (1964) ☼ [blu ray] ★★★✰✰ - The black and white, uber-gothic atmosphere was nice, and I love Barbara Steele. The story was a bit long-winded involving the revenge of a witch and her family against the wealthy Lord's family. Great final scene.
Watched for: Theme - Italy, Director: Margheritti
102. THE MASK OF FU MANCHU (1932) ☼ [Amazon ★★★✰✰ (3.5 stars) - Despite the ways in which this movie has not aged well, I found it fascinating to see some of the hard-core, pre-code elements. There's a sadist daughter, a quest to "wipe out the white race", alligators, and torture. I thought it was fun.

103. CHILD'S PLAY (1988) [blu ray] ★★★★✰ - The first time I watched this was in 2017. I'd heard of it when it first came out, but thought it sounded silly. It was much better than I expected. I wrote: "Great production values and acting and an actual STORY. Lots of retro fun. Want to see the sequels." I did. in fact, watch nearly all the sequels and enjoy them. I especially love Meg Tilly in this series.
I think at this point in the challenge, it was just nice to have something humorous and predictable to watch.

104. THEM (ILS) (2006) ☼ [Amazon] ★★★✰✰ - Better than expected. There was more build-up and "who are the intruders" than gore until the very end. Very atmospheric.

105. THIS NIGHT I'LL POSSESS YOUR CORPSE (1967) ☼ [DVD] ★★★✰✰ - Props for the passion that went into this indie and for the uber gothic b&w imagery. The story wasn't entirely my thing given how misogynistic it was. But man! The scene with the snakes! I don't envy those actresses. A super unique and interesting watch.

October 26: Body Horror
108. CRIMES OF THE FUTURE (2022) - ★★★✰✰ - (3.5 stars) [Amazon] - For over half this movie, it felt like a cool artistic/visual idea (the weird body parts) in search of a story. The two "performance artist" characters were difficult to relate to. And wtf was with that Kristen Stewart role? Like, why did she even do it? It was such a small part and she didn't fit it well. But the little boy subplot drew me in and by the end I was more invested. It's not a great movie, but I did like the "human evolution" concept. And I enjoyed watching it. I'm glad it was a subset pick. I planned to watch it regardless.
Watched for: subset
109. MONKEY SHINES (1988) ★★★★✰ [blu ray] - I really liked this. I didn't remember anything about it from when I watched it years ago. The story is engaging with the guy becoming paralyzed after an accident and being despondent. His friend, a medical researcher, brings him a monkey to help him do chores. It's a bit triggering because the monkey is super cute and initially they have a loving relationship, so I didn't want to see anything bad happen to the monkey. But, of course, this is a horror movie so it can't end well. Overall a really good and surprisingly emotional killer animal flick.

110. THE SKIN I LIVE IN (2011) ★★★★★ [blu ray] - I loved everything about this twist on Frankenstein. I've watched a lot of 40's "mad scientist" movies, and this is a wonderful contemporary update to that tradition and so much more. Antonio Banderas is a scientific genius intent on inventing a new type of skin to help burn victims and humanity in general--and he's willing to take unethical steps to do it. The patient he is working with in his private home is a stunningly beautiful woman. We learn early on that he has given her his special new skin, but the film unwraps the backstory of this patient slowly. A truly unique and fresh horror movie. Goes in my top ten.

111. THE EYE OF THE CAT (1969) ★★★✰✰ [blu ray] - Fun vintage thriller in which a young cool 60's dude and his girlfriend try to off his rich aunt who lives in a mansion full of cats. Probably the best and most voluminous "scary cat" footage I've seen in any movie.
112. 101 SCARIEST MOMENTS - EP #3 & #4 (2022) [Shudder] - tbd
October 27: Cosmic Horror
113. DEEP RISING (1998) ★★★✰✰ - [blu ray] - Not the best 90's horror-on-a-ship, but still fun. It was a lot of action-silliness I needed at this point in the challenge.
Watched for: subset
114. INVADERS FROM MARS (1953) - ★★★✰✰ [Amazon] - This is a simple, one-note, nearly one-scene little sci-fi film from the 50's that nevertheless has its own charm. The main protagonist is a little boy so there's a "Gee willikers!" tone to this. Mostly of interest to those who like vintage novelties.
Watched for: Theme, They Shoot Zombies list
115. NOPE (2022) - ★★★★✰ [Amazon] - I've been waiting to see this until the price fell. It was as good as I'd hoped. I love the ranch setting and the family business, brother-sister dynamic. And the thing was pretty awesome looking. It didn't necessarily make a lot of sense, but aliens probably wouldn't. I'm waiting for the one guy's camera to fall from the sky though.
Watched for: Theme, new release
October 28: Anthologies
116. TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE: THE MOVIE (1990)★★★✰✰ [blu ray] - A decent anthology with "Tales from the Crypt" style humor. My favorite was the framing story with Deborah Harry and the mummy story. The cat story was decent. The worst was the last one with Rae Dawn Chong. It was a retelling of a story that I've seen several times before and done better. Overall, worth a watch.
Watched for: subset
117. SOUTHBOUND (2015) ★★✰✰✰ [blu ray] - I've had this on my watch list for a long time. I didn't love it. The "Accident" segment got a little too gory for me and the last segment was a home invasion story which is my least favorite horror genre. Too real. I think this was just too hardcore for this point in the challenge for me.
Watched for: Theme, Producer: Travis Stevens, They Shoot Zombies list
117.5. DEL TORO'S CABINET OF CURIOSITIES - EP #1 "LOT 36" (2022) ★★★✰✰ - (2.5 stars) Not bad. I liked the storage unit/backstory with the Nazi stuff and the diabolical books. But the ending with the Hispanic lady was a little too pat.
Watched for: Theme, new release
118. DEL TORO'S CABINET OF CURIOSITIES - EP #2 "GRAVEYARD RATS" (2022) ★★★✰✰ - This episode was stronger. Though it was strange that in the first two stories we have a repeat of the "I'm desperate because I owe a loan shark" trope. The effects were impressive in this one and I'm always up for killer animals.

October 29: Women
119. FOOTPRINTS ON THE MOON (1975) ★★★✰✰ [Shudder] - I had to look up a review to get a clue as to what was going on. But it kept me engaged throughout. The location was super interesting (IMDB says it was shot in Rome and Turkey), and the English dubbing was appreciated. I thought there'd be more of an answer about why she'd become "Nicole" and what it had to do with the guys on the moon, but reading some interpretations helped me have sense of the film's logic. It kept me glued.
Watched for: subset
120. SHE WAITS (1972) ★★✰✰✰ [Amazon] - This TV movie involves a young wife who moves into her husband's family home only to discover it is haunted by his deceased first wife. There's a little of everything in this--gaslighting, ghosts, whodunit (who killed the first wife), and possession as the first wife wants revenge--but against who? Not bad.
Watched for: Theme, actor: Patty Duke
121. THE LAST EXORCISM (2010) ★★★✰✰ (3.5 stars) [blu ray] - Possession movies have become so cliche, so I appreciated that this film doesn't do the standard repertoire--puking, growly demon voice, floating bed, horribly distorted features. etc. (Despite the cover--the cover image never happens) Instead, we have a preacher who sets out to show exorcisms aren't real by faking one and having a documentary crew film I appreciated the religious (or anti-religious) aspects the most. The ending was a bit far-fetched and so it lost some emotional impact. Still a quite good found footage film.
Watched for: Theme, They Shoot Zombies list
121.5. DEL TORO'S CABINET OF CURIOSITIES: EP #3 "THE AUTOPSY" (2022) ★★★★✰ [Netflix] - This is my favorite episode so far. Really inventive little alien story, F Murray Abraham, and some gnarly body horror.

122.5. A DARK SONG (2016) ★★★★★ [blu ray] - One of my favorite horror films of all time. I love the realism of he esoteric ritual and the awe-inspiring end.
Watched for: subset
123.5. THE SONATA (2018) ★★★✰✰ [Amazon] - Interesting concept. A promising violinist inherits a French manor house from her composer father from whom she was estranged. She discovers he had an unfinished sonata with lots of weird symbols. He had an interest in the occult and Satanic worship. The sonata just might summon the devil. Very good lead-up but the ending was a bit of a cheat.
Watched for: Theme (devil)
124.5. STIGMATA (1999) ★★★★✰ (3.5 stars) [blu ray] - Religious horror is one of my favorite horror sub-genres, so I loved this. I saw it years ago but didn't remember much. Patricia Arquette is an ordinary hair dresser living in Philly who starts exhibiting the Signs of Christ (stigmata in the hands being just the first) and Gabriel Byrne is the hot priest sent by the Vatican to investigate. Fortunately, Arquette isn't the antichrist or supposed to be the mother of the antichrist or any familiar trope like that. The reason for her affliction is more unique, thank f*ck, and involves an artifact. The mystery plot resolution is a little OTT, but the highlight here is the copious gothic religious imagery--bleeding statues, poor peasants chanting, Latin American religious parades, weirdly-lit churches etc. Great religious horror vibes.

October 31: Halloween/Samhain
125.5. NIGHT OF THE DEMONS (1988) ★★✰✰✰ [blu ray] - This was just okay. Typical 80's shlockiness and B actors. The high school characters were pretty cliched. Decent special effects.

126.5. HELLHOLE (2022) ★★★✰✰ [Netflix] - Polish religious horror flick. Bleak and atmospheric with a Satanic-like cult. Probably only for religious horror fans.

127.5. HALLOWEEN ENDS (2022) ★★✰✰✰ (2.5 stars) [Peacock] - I guess I have read so many bad reviews that my expectations were low, so I didn't feel disappointed finally watching this on Halloween night. I thought there was some good stuff in this. Jamie Lee Curtis was great, as always. There were some fun kills. It was good to see the nasty characters all get what was coming to them. The ending with Laurie vs Michael was good. it wasn't that I didn't like the Corey plotline, they just didn't sell it sufficiently set up either his motivations or Michael's. Still--I'm always up for a new Halloween movie. It's supposed to be the last, but I hope not.

Re: The 18th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/31) ***The List Thread***




Sep 30th
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



1.) The Haunting (1963) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts:.A team of investigators gather at a notoriously haunted house in order to prove or disprove the supernatural once and for all. Oddly beautiful, I was surprised how much of an influence this apparently had on Evil Dead. From the camera moves to the sound design a Deadite would not have been out of place here. This was a very slow burn classic ghost tale, no House On Haunted Hill campiness here. I have seen many adaptations of this source material of this over the years but still I had no Idea what was going to happen with this one. Aside from some less than stellar final act acting this was a great moody start to the season.

(4 out of 5)

My Daughter's Thoughts: Good. There was some parts that were like them looking around because of the noises and it could have been scarier those parts. What would the house look like in color? Some parts it was a little boring.

(3.5 out of 5)





B-1.) Prairie Artisan Ales: Spicy Pickle Monster (Oklahoma)*

My Thoughts: Definitely a style over substance kind of start to the challenge. No one buys spicy pickle beer expecting it to be ambrosia. Tart lemon soda scent and then bam, pickle to the pallet. Spicy I am not getting but lightly carbonated pickle juice I am.. and really it’s not that bad. It’s a sipper, not a chugger. One gets contemplative about ones life choices while sipping on an alcoholic carbonated pickle based beverage. Additionally it’s hard to drink pickle juice fast enough for the alcohol to take effect, one has to prepare before each swig. I enjoyed this but I I am never going to buy it again.

(3.5 out of 5)

My Wife's Taste:
Smells like fruit beer… taste like sour.. I don’t know about pickle.. but sour. Some kind of fermented smell, like Kimchi. Too sour. I don’t like it.





2.) Commentary for The Haunting (1963) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: "I kept the New England setting because haunted houses are a dime a dozen in England." This is a stitched together track with remembrances by the director and most of the cast. It is a pretty demure laid back track with some audio book level voices but it is too sparse for something that is a combination of several interviews playing over only 65-75% of the movie. And of course it's lacking in that spontaneity that a together group track can have.

(3 out of 5)



Oct 1st
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



3.) The Torture Chamber Of Dr. Sadism (1967) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: I've never really thought about how anticipation is the Hallmark of medieval torture. The waiting for the horses to quarter, the bucket to fill, the spikes to fall or the pendulum to cut. As he is often to do, Christopher Lee plays a deranged count, this time one who has discovered the secret to life eternal, the blood of the terrified. This classic gothic horror is a feast for the eyes in it's ghoulish portrayal of Lee's menagerie of death and while the new Blu-Ray looks fantastic one is left to wonder if perhaps it looks so good it detracts from the story. I am not one of those Horror needs to be watched on VHS guys but there is something charming about movies like this in a more Public Domain quality. Regardless this is the ascetic that I would like to decorate my house for Halloween one of these years.

(3 out of 5)





4.) Commentary For The Torture Chamber Of Dr. Sadism (1967) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: OK, the commentators convinced me I am full of it and need to appreciate the transfer. I was mostly thinking about the castle segments where the new Blu-Ray transfer shows a bit of the sets/bodies in so much detail where you can tell they are props. This was a very marginal commentary, Not quite a historian track more of a reserved ultra fan track heralded by a man who admits to having seen this movie some 30 times. I don't think this commentary ever became better the German retrospective audio interview with the lead actress that is also included in this set and would recommend watching that instead.

(2.5 out of 5)





5.) Toxin (2014) (DVD)*

My Thoughts: Garbage. While there was enough of a cast and enough terrible effects here for a potential 'so bad it's good' outing, I alas was cruelly sober throughout the event. This will be one of the first excised titles in my collection when I have to start getting rid of things due to space concerns.

(2 out of 5)





6.) Girlfriend From Hell (1989) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: I can't believe I've never seen this before! Channeling heavy Sorority Babes In The Slimeball Bowl-A-Rama vibes, this Nightmare Sisters with a budget has Critters 2 alum Liane Curtis as our dweeby lead possessed by the Devil. She drinks, she speeds, she turns babies into It's Alive monsters and she sucks the souls out of all the boys. Pursued by 80's guy actor that you have definitely seen before this plays out as a nearly safe for USA Up All Night feature. In fact if not for one seemingly inserted scene I was surprised at how tame this "sex comedy" actually was. While technically a bad movie there is just some great late 80's cult comedy energy with this one.

(3.5 out of 5)





B-2.) O'Fallon Brewery: Pumpkin Cheesecake Cream Ale (Missouri)*

My Thoughts: I don't know if it is just psychological but I am for sure getting some pumpkin cake scent on top here. Like a thick cinnamon pumpkin type deal. On tasting there is Pumpkin… not the cheesecake cream beer I had envisioned but it is a good pumpkin beer. Maybe a tad creamy like a bit of a Boddingtons Pumpkin but yeah, disappointed with the lack of cakeiness. I wanted liquid cheesecake. Cut to awhile later yes this beer does pair nicely with a slice of cheesecake, I am going to have to work out tomorrow. Maybe here at the warm bottom of the glass things are getting more sweet and cakolicious.

(4.5 out of 5)

My Wife's Taste:
Smells like beer but after smells a little soy saucy. Taste like cinnamon apple pie... no sweet. Like filling. Not bad but it taste beer a little but after. Yeah, no cheesecake or no pumpkin at all.





7.) The Golem (2018) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: An underused genre, The Golem. Set in medieval times a small Jewish village comes under persecution after it is noticed that they are not suffering the ravages of The Plague. To rebuff the murderous Gentiles a local woman with a troubled past calls upon their supernatural protector. Interesting period piece with a bit of Pet Cemetery flair. Maybe not quite as period correct as say the Vvich but also I could understand everyone which is nice.

(3.5 out of 5)





B-3.) Brewdog: Fest Bier (Ohio)*

My Thoughts: A Fest Bier or a we want to get in on this seasonal thing without following the rules beer. Note to self: look up what a Fest Beir is. A very fresh floral/hops scent on top, this could easily be a laundry detergent scent if not for all of the prudes. Woah, what the fuck is that? Is this a light beer? I am getting overwhelmingly water taste here. Does have some sharp bitterness around the corners of the mouth but yeah, very watery, this is the kind of beer I would drink if I ever did one of those 5k beer runs. I should do that. Note to self: investigate drunk running. As it warms it does develop more flavor but still super watery, not bad though.

(3 out of 5)





8.) Commentary For The Golem (2018) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: I really liked this audio commentary. The set of Jewish brother directors seem like really fun guys, they pointed out several things that I missed in my first viewing, talk about filming in the Ukraine and about a lot of historical Jewish lore that is just completely unfamiliar territory for me. Things like the Jewish prayer for thanking God that you aren't a woman. They have been 2 for 2 with the genre pictures thus far and I would be totally down for more. Also really wanting some matzah balls right about now.

9.) The Lamp (1987) (Blu-Ray)

My Thoughts: I saw the shorter, darker VHS transfer of this film a few years ago and I remember quite enjoying it as a cheesy little monster movie. Seeing the newly restored and untruncated version was a step above, there is something about the 80's where you need to see the colors and being able to actually see everything that is in the background at the museum was quite intriguing as well. My daughter asked what my score was with this one and when I told her she quarried "The same as the other one?" (The Haunting). And I said 'Yes. But for different reasons.' There is something about an 80's slasher movie, especially one that has a foam rubber monster in it. I guess it reminds me of being a kid and staying up late and watching truncated versions of these on cable and surreptitiously renting them from the local Movietime Video. Perhaps my daughter will have some nostalgia for these titles in the years to come from watching them with me now.

(4 out of 5)

My Daughter's Thoughts: It was good and there was no scare in it. I thought that the girls was going to die... Alex. I feel like I have seen a similar creature like that before in a different movie that looks better.

(3 out of 5)





10.) Child In The Night (1990) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: Most Peter Pan cutaways I have ever seen in a murder mystery. This is a by the numbers procedural, and will feel very familiar to anyone who has ever happened across a myriad of syndicated cop dramas. What sets this one apart is our witness being a pint sized Elija Woods, the investigatory team being Tom Skerritt & JoBeth Williams and The Night Stalker himself Darren McGavin now playing those dutiful grandfatherly roles. This film does drag a bit in the middle almost as if they were stretching for time to fill their slot but does really ramp up in the last 20 minutes. For fans of the cast or just mild hook killer movies I would give this one a slight recommend. Also fascinating audio essay included on the Vinegar Syndrome blu-ray release.

(3 out of 5)

My Wife's Thoughts: It was different my guess but I thought the wife was kinda suspicious the middle of the movie. I was correct and I found grandfather was murder, I got it. How grandfather that murder can kill 2 people, it seems not easy to do that because he is old. It was a good movie.

(3.5 out of 5)


My Daughter's Thoughts: Good. Peter Pan was really cute. They need more murders in the movie. (The last 20 minutes it was murderpalooza!) Yeah... correct. Very family friendly.

(4 out of 5)





11.) Last Night In Soho (2021) (Streaming)*

My Thoughts: This alluring pop 60's eye candy follows a troubled girl with a bit of the Shine on her first trip away from home as she moves to London to be a fashion designer. A very 2 dimensional roommate leads her to seek off campus housing and it is here where she makes a vivid connection to a specter of the past. Our non-doppelgänger flashback counterpart is perfectly cast for this role and I hope to see her in more genre titles in the future. Otherwise this movie looks great, sounds great and keeps you guessing until the very end. As with most breaking with reality movies the big conceit here is that she would ever be allowed to continue at this school or have her not-boyfriend not nope out. Also I just can't not think about Morbius when I see that one actor.

12.) Commentary For The Lamp (1987) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: It takes a little bit for this track to get warmed up and you can tell the moderator is getting worried as at about 10 minutes in as he becomes the driving force of the track and starts telling them not to forget to mention this or that in desperation. Things do get going eventually and I really liked that this wasn't just a recap of the retrospective that's also on the disc. It seems to be 90%+ different information and it's generally interesting, maybe more so for me being so close to Texas than the average listener though. Not bad but also no chance of sock knockery. Dear VS: how about David DeCoteau as a moderator in the future? Please see his moderation of the Crash! and Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers audio commentaries.

(3 out of 5)





13.) Benny Loves You (2019) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: I really connected with the humor on this one. I even laughed out loud a few times which would already puts this in a rare category for me. Benny Loves You it’s about a complete loser who decides to try to salvage his life by doing a clean sweep prompting one of his beloved childhood toys to come to life and act murderously on his supposed behalf. Which, yeah kind of a dumb plot but it’s a British movie so that bit of class pushes it just over the line into acceptable. It's always easier to forgive a movie some of it's downsides with a touch of accent. Now, like similar movies this does pretty quickly hit a Demonic Toys-esk threshold where somehow adults struggle to be constantly being bested by these plastic beasts. And we also have a wrap around that just doesn't work, way too forced in it's attempt at a cautionary tale. Much like the Zuni Fetish doll I think a shorter version of this as say part of an anthology or even duology would have killed though. All in all though I did still quite like Benny, it's a flawed movie worth a go, maybe with drink in hand.

(3.5 out of 5)

My Daughter's Thoughts:
Good. I think that one guy died because he didn’t have a connection with a killer doll. (His connection was with the robot doll but it was much more tenuous) Yeah, he didn’t have the same kind of connection. I liked that they bridged back the girls doll. She looks like a doll I have. It looks like that Shadow High doll I have.

(4 out of 5)




B-4.) Hudson North Cider Co: Toasted Pumpkin (New York)*

My Thoughts: Toasted Pumpkin, now this is a pumpkin scent. I would totally buy this as a candle. It’s definitely Apple Cider. I think I am tasting a little pumpkin but seems like mostly apple cider. Way less sharp than your typical cider though. More like lightly carbonated apple juice with an odd adult aftertaste. This fairs much better cold than warm as when it does warm it just taste like funky uncarbonated juice. I guess you gotta pound this while it's cold.

(2.5 out of 5)

My Wife's Taste:
Taste Life apple cider, very sweet mild. I like it. Five Star. That's pretty tasty.





14.) The Weirdo (1989) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts:I picked this one up and shuddered when I saw Andy Milligan’s name emblazoned across the front. As it would happened I was graciously spared the pain of watching Andy Milligan movies for the first 35 years of my life and then in rapid succession and through a variety of clearance events I came into possession of several of his... "films". As has been by experience with his other works this movie is a series of extended poorly-shot improve-heavy scenes, this time about a rape-y special needs guy who all the ladies seem to love. He gets picked on, rebuffed and then eventually falls in love but oh no! His mother has sold him to the insane asylum! Now I don’t know if it was the alcohol all kicking in at once but at this point the movie because surprisingly bearable as he fumbles to kill like half a dozen people and body parts fall away as if characters were made of marshmellow. Still a bad film but eventually tolerable.

15.) Zombie Nightmare (1987) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: What a dog. Like many before me and I am sure many after I too was drawn to this tile by the b-star power and the allure of a Rock & Roll zombie movie. Unfortunately though we start out already in the red by having this be a Voodoo Zombie movie as opposed to everyones favorite pulse-less fleas eaters. Coming off Rock And Roll Nightmare Jon Mikl Thor stars in a movie so bad that he doesn't act again for 16 years. The neighborhood goodie two shoes, Thor is run down in his prime by what is suppose to pass for a gang. Not willing to let them get away with it his mother calls upon a local Voodoo neighbor for help. This is a movie that is flawed on every level, the story is derivative garbage, the effects are super duper cheap and the editing. Oh god the editing. One thing you should never really notice when watching a movie is the editing. This movie is rife with shots of people waiting to start their actions, even in chase scenes you will frequently see both the Zombie and whichever girl he happens to be chasing briefly waiting on queue before starting to move. There are moments when actors restart their dialog only to have the flub at the beginning kept in, other actors you can't understand at all. At one point we even tried to turn on the subtitle track to understand the voodoo priestess better but you guessed it; no subtitle track. That being said it is saved from a more disastrous score by being well lit and not boring and it was even kind of fun even to watch for what they would mess up next. If considering purchasing this item, it should be only for mockery not for a zombie good time.

(2 out of 5)

My Daughter's Thoughts:
Good, wasn’t the best. Similar quality as Death Promise. Sometimes when you look at the zombie guy it looks like it’s wearing a mask and there is little holes for your eyes to come out.

(3 out of 5)





B-5.) Pariah Brewing Co: Wicked As Sin Liquid Terror (Maryland)*

My Thoughts: Smells a bit like crushed pears at a paper factory. Egh, IPA. You knew it had to be IPA with such foreboding can art. As far as terri..IPA’s go it’s not one of those crazy bitter ones that makes it seem like you are chewing on hops and cigarette butts but it’s still with every sip is a constant reminder of your bad choices. There is a touch of fruitiness to it, also I am at least looking forward to the higher abv. Later: It certainly ws effectivw

(2 out of 5)

My Wife's Taste:
Smells super lemony… and looks like beer… enough foam. Fruity but aftertaste is really bitter. Strong alcohol content but it’s not bad.





B-6.) Brooklyn Brewery: Post Road Pumpkin Ale (New York)*

My Thoughts: A nice light pumpkin scent to this one, although I am sure anything would be better than IPA at this point. Light, crisp. a bit heavy on the hops but then a citrus chaser here. I do wonder if my tasters are a little off after that IPA. Lets ruminate a bit while watching out tragic policeman’s tale. OK, pallet is reset, inhibitions are lowered, beer has warmed and this isn’t that good. Figgy leafy nutmeg slight sharpness, meh.

(2.5 out of 5)




16.) The Wicker Man (1973) (Blu-Ray)

My Thoughts: What do you say about The Wicker Man that hasn’t been said countless times before? Our narrative follows an uptight police constable as he travels to a small out of the way island community in an attempt to investigate the disappearance of a young girl. Equal parts mystery and travelogue, it is a movie that stays with you after you watch it and something that can never be watched the same way again after your first time. Beautiful and haunting. This is my first time watching the Final Cut and as with the Blade Runner final cut I think in the future I will be spinning the previous extended cut, there is some about this movie where you just kind of want to live it, to extend the tension and a shorter cut is not something I am after.

(5 out of 5)




17.) Commentary For The Wicker Man (1973) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: Perhaps it was the imparting of my higher cognitive functions but I could not get into this historian track. We do have 2 experts in the field of British horror who have a fair about to say and back stories to go with the film but they didn't seem very prepared. They did talk the whole time but as far as historian tracks go it did not tickle my fancy. Also something about them repeatedly saying they didn't have time to go over everything and to buy this or that book kinda rubbed me the wrong way.

B-7.) Half Acre Beer Company: Lager Town Oktoberfest (Illinois)*

My Thoughts: Digging this retro can art with the mustachioed owl. Smells on point with Oktoberfest ale, taste… well not quite on the taste. That was the initial impression but here a bit in I gotta say it’s growing on me. Rather a boring tasting traditional beer that has that Oktoberfestian aftertaste. But it is going down quite well, maybe too well even. Not at the end of the glass I gotta say this is 4 stars all day. Is this a review yet?

(3 out of 5)




18.) The Wind (1986) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: Hey it's the 80's lady with the eyes, you know, the one from They Live. And it's another travelog movie, after this and The Wicker Man I really need to do some European vacationing. Lady with the eyes plays a writer in this one who travels to a secluded historic Island retreat to finish her new murder mystery novel. And you guess it, a murder actually happens on the island and further more no one believes her. This is a by the book woman in peril thriller well except for our lead actresses limited ability to emote. She remains as cool as a cucumber when the killer is trying to get into her house to the point where it is actually and interesting diversion from the cliche. And while plot wise this is nothing special the travelog setting, star power and score make it a more than pleasant watch. Just go in knowing that when you are watching you are going to feel like you have seen it before even if you haven't. Also thank you to SurfinHank for providing this disc, it tis not something I would have otherwise acquired on my own as I just didn't jazz with Arrows new cover art and bland title.

19.) Muppets Haunted Mansion (2021) (Streaming) (Wild Card #1)*

My Thoughts: I wanted to like this more than I did. I enjoyed the last 2 Muppet movies and I think the main reasoning behind that is the songs, they are always wonderfully catchy. That was not the case this time around, the only one I even liked this time was their outro cover of Dancing In The Moon Light but even that was kinda meh. This time we follow Gonzo and Pepe the Prawn as the go to spend the night alone in a haunted mansion. Other Muppets show up playing alternate character ghosts and we get some low level celebrity cameos. It was not terrible but a step below what I expect from this IP.

(2.5 out of 5)

My Daughter's Thoughts:
Like it, very kids movie. I have a little toy of that one pig. I like how those little sculptures were talking to each other.

(3 out of 5)





B-8.) Blue Point Brewing Company: Big Mother Pumpkin (New York)*

My Thoughts: Very mild clean vegetable scent. Like a little table of vegetables in a freshly cleaned lobby. Liquorish pumpkin in a bitter brown beer with a hit of quickly dissipating sweet. At 9% me thinks this is one you don’t drink for the taste. A lot smoother and creamier towards the bottom of the glass, still with the liquorish but yeah tasting better, feeling better too.

(3.5 out of 5)

My Wife's Taste: Smells like German beer. What the hell? Very sweet, thick, some kind of creamy fruity I don’t know how I can describe but weird. Strong alcohol. But perfume smell, I don’t like it.




B-9.) Angry Scotsman Brewing: Oktoberfest (Oklahoma)*

My Thoughts: My drunk notes on this contained only the question 'Why is he angry at me?' This was after that 9 pointer so... I think I recall this not being the best Oktoberfest ale, a bit of a sour twinge up front and then just kind of boring bitter dishwater beer.

(2.5 out of 5)





20.) Prevenge (2016) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: OK, I am going to call shenanigans here. There is no way this should be fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. Not even a 9 point beer could save it. They had a serviceable idea of a pregnant woman who's baby is compelling her to kill a group of men that were all somewhat complicit in the death of the father but that's it. The voice on the baby does not work, sounds like an adult trying to do a baby voice. The actors and the pacing are all sub par. Maybe if they weren't all together I could have been ok with any one of them individually but as a cast they are abysmal. The syth soundtrack promise is only barely delivered on. I can't think of the last time a movie has disappointed me so much and it's all down to unethical obtaining of the Fresh rating.

21.) Bigfoot: The Lost Coast Tapes (2012) (DVD)*

My Thoughts: You know, not that bad! After watching turkeys like Toxin, Zombie Nightmare and Prevenge I was kind of dreading watching this, and not in good way. This Big Lots clearance title had been on my 'to watch' shelf for quite some time. As expected this was a low budget affair, it had amateur actors and it is made up of almost entirely scenes from other found footage movies, 'hey why are you still recording'? But dang if they didn't do a good job putting it together. I found this to be an enjoyable well executed film that again while not original was fun to watch. This found footage flick follows a Foot fanatic film fourtette on a frolic in the forrest... I am sorry I just couldn't stop... in an attempt to debunk a local Bigfoot hunters claim of having recovered a deceased juvenile specimen. Some might not find the ending up to expectations but I can safely say this is one of the better Big Foot movies I have seen.

22.) Spree (2020) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: Steve from Stranger Things plays a social media nobody that has been producing content for the void for years until he finally snaps and decides he will start killing ride share customers for views. The portrayal of this unsung loser is spot on and while they do invent some fake companies for him to ride share and stream on all of it feels very authentic. I was really connecting and was vibing with this character for the first half of the film, especially when he starts killing people and still no one is watching. There is a point where things kind of stop escalating where I think if they had pushed it a bit further this could have really shined, think Guns Akimbo or Nerve. Still it is unique and well worth the $1.25 I paid for the Blu-Ray.

23.) Barbarian (2022) (Theater)*

My Thoughts: OK, well first off I’m definitely gonna have to get that Ricky Tikki Tavi song into my shuffle. Next is there like a Detroit horror movie trilogy that I’m on aware of because this was awesome and I need to see the next one (Don't Breathe being the first one). This is a Airbnb story gone horribly horribly horribly wrong. I would encourage anybody who hasn’t seen a trailer for this or read any substantive reviews to see this blind because this was a the roller coaster. I was a big fan of the narrative shift that happened in the middle of the movie and I can genuinely say that this is one of the most creepy movies that I’ve seen in a long time and that’s saying something coming from me.

(4.5 out of 5)




24.) Silent House (2011) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: For a movie that kind of becomes about women's empowerment it seems like we spend a lot of the movie with the camera pointed down Elizabeth Olsens top, not that I am complaining, it just felt a little hypocritical. At first I found the all in one take thing interesting but as I was watching the movie I noticed several places were it would have been easy to hide a cut, come to find out there is a bit of fibbing on the box and it's only made to look like it is just one continue shot while actually being done more in 10-15 minute segments. And without that handicap the movie really doesn't stack up, the pacing is off, there is way way too much wondering around with nothing happening. Yes, it's fun to have a pre-Wanda Olsen as our girl in distress and she is good at the silent screams but if you are going to have cuts you need to have a better paced film.

My Daughter's Thoughts:
Good. Slow, scary. I kind of fell asleep watching it.

25.) The House On Sorority Row (1982) (Blu-Ray)

My Thoughts: It’s really a movie about keeping up good pool maintenance. It’s been a good 20 years since I’ve seen this movie and I had completely forgotten everything except the pool. Having grown up with a previewed VHS copy the MVD transfer looks great and this is their first time I am really seeing some of the Giallo inspired effects from later in the film. This 1982 slasher is your run of the mill ‘who’s the killer?’ type situation rife with those really quickly MPAA cut kills, lots of 80s hair and a sea pig. There is an interesting amount of parallels to the movie Creepers/Phenomena. One might think that that movie borrowed some plot elements. In the end an enjoyable bad 80s slasher, a wonderful pastiche of the era.

(3.5 out of 5)




26.) Commentary For The House On Sorority Row (1982) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: This is a track with the director and the two lead sorority girls. There is also interviews on the disc with said sorority girls and ones time might be better spent watching the director's solo track and the interviews with the girls as they have a lot to say in the interviews but are very reserved on the commentary. Additionally there seems to be some messy cuts on the commentary that they never bothered to realign properly and that puts the track very quickly and annoyingly out of sync with both what they are talking about and when you can only hear the film's audio. I will say though that the director points out a horror movie rule that I had never thought about and that's not to look at music boxes if you are in a horror movie.

(2.5 out of 5)





27.) World's End: The Legacy Of Day Of The Dead (2013) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: This documentary is included on the Scream Factory Collector's Edition release of Day Of the Dead. It's comprehensive retrospective that interviews nearly all of the surviving cast along with Romero and Savini. I have always heard about the original plans for Day for years and I would love to eventually see a downloadable script as a special feature, we get more teases here but its always a bit frustrating how it's only ever touched upon. As always Savini shines and talking about a movie that was initially a failure leads to some interesting topics of conversation. Don't expect Never Sleep Again or Crystal Lake memories but a big step up from Document Of The Dead and ultimately a worthwhile watch for Dead fans.

(3.5 out of 5)





B-10.) Abomination Brewing Company: Social Distancing: Isolation (Pennsylvania)*

My Thoughts: Another IPA... get with it horror beers, I want the cool label and something that taste good, not a punishment to go with my genre can art! Lot of pear with this one, I am not sure if it is just more bearable or I am getting dulled to the torture that is an IPA. You know this is an IPA mixed with a cream or something, still not good but again more tolerable. This beer never cleared, perpetually hazy. Least worse IPA of the challenge.

(2.5 out of 5)




28.) Dead Shack (2017) (DVD)*

My Thoughts: A disfunction family getaway to a cabin in the woods turns bad when the kids stumble upon a nefarious house were people go in but they don't come out. This was pretty good. It needed better music and a few slight editing tweaks but the humor really worked. The drunk parent dynamic was perfect answer to the more cliche disbelieving or actively working against guardian figure. And Lisa was the best cinematic step mom. I loved this messed up family and their zombie journey, even if my favorite character was the first to die.

(3.5 out of 5)

My Daughter's Thoughts:
Good, thought that there were going to be way more zombies. I kind of like the dad. The girl kind of looks like my friend.

B-11.) Prairie Artisan Ales: Pumpkin Pie Treat (Oklahoma)*

My Thoughts: Lemon meringue pie scent? Extremely wtf taste. Mouth puckeringly sour, how exactly is anyone suppose to taste the pumpkin pie and marshmallows? Is this a troll beer? If I really concentrate maybe there is a different flavor on the top of my mouth? Tongue though is only getting the sour. This is like a lunch time zinger not a night time sipper. Too weird

(1.5 out of 5)

My Wife's Taste:
I don’t know, it’s weird smell. Sharp vinegary fruit, fermented scent. Sour! Spoiled lemon alcohol, I don’t like it, taste awful.

29.) Cannibal Curse (1988) (DVD)*

My Thoughts: This was bizarre. One of my speakers was playing the Mandarin track and the other one the Cantonese track at the same time. Every scene in the movie felt like people shouting at me and any scene with an angry lady was wild. I guess I could have unplugged one of the speakers but it was subbed and that would involve getting behind the tv and messing with wires. So I watched it in this cacophony of sound. I did have a hard time following the plot of this one at first. At one point, after a ton of sex scenes, a pack of midgets abducts pretty girls for a wizard? He prays to the snake god and then cobras watch him rape her as large modesty circle is burned into the screen keeps it a tasteful snake wizard rape. This came out of seemingly no where as this was otherwise a love drama about a woman who’s true love is killed in a drive by king fu attack. Turns out we needed magic from the wizard to trick a doppelgänger into falling in love with her with date rape, so much date rape. This movie was bizarre and exploitative enough (especially with the audio issues) that I couldn’t not have a good time watching, well that and the booze, the booze helped.

(3.5 out of 5)





30.) Werewolf By Night (2022) (Streaming)*

My Thoughts: I think I let myself build this up a bit too much pre-release. This was an acceptable one-off but not particularly exciting. Cool to see Man Thing and to get a bit Wolfy but as with most Marvel properties it leaned pretty family friendly. Also there was a moment when guards were comedically attacking him one by one like they were in The Last Jedi. I would have to categorize this as my least favorite of the Disney+ Marvel shows and about on par with The Eternals.

(3 out of 5)


My Daughter's Thoughts: Looks like Wolverine but hairier. It was OK, there wasn’t much plot and it doesn’t really connect to the Marvel universe. He hind of looks like Moon Knight, the main character. It’s probably set in a very different universe that we haven’t seen yet.

(3 out of 5)





B-12.) Bronx Brewery: Tattooed Pumpkin (New York)*

My Thoughts: Good head. Crisp floral hoppy scene, smells like a good microbrew. A full bodied but... regular beer? Maybe it will pumpkin up a bit as it warms? Nope. Does get a bit more liquorishy but no pumpkin.

(3 out of 5)

My Wife's Taste:
Normal beer scent. Sweet. A little bit bitter aftertaste but it's not bad. Taste a little expensive but I don't taste any pumpkin, nada.





31.) Revenge (1986) (DVD)*

My Thoughts: This sequel to Blood Cult is a technical step up. Still sucks but they do have a helicopter & John Carradine this time and overall I would call this a competent bad movie. What it is missing though is the over the top gore of the first movie and the Tulsa-sploitation. Be prepared to spend 85% of this turkey out in the country. Also why did a guy have Darth Vader force powers just for one scene without any explanation?

32.) Bad Candy (2020) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: Poor man's Trick R Treat has some glimpses of quality but in the end is not interesting or exploitative enough to be a contender. Great credits though and it's nice that Billy from Gremlins is still getting work. I saw him at a horror con during my very first OHMC. For our stories the standouts are probably the first one where a little girls drawing come to life and the sexy mortician that gets a little too into a stiff. Overall though this is not worth your anthology time.

(2.5 out of 5)




33.) Dead Of Winter (1987) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: Competent thriller stymied by 1 particularly bad prop. Mary Steenburgen (Clara Clayton from Back To The Future Part III) is a struggling actress who’s latest gig get turns out to be a much more sinister event when she is driven out into the middle of nowhere to film test footage. Now if I had wrote that intro about a 2000’s or later film we would all assume it’s a rape/murder situation but this is a thriller perhaps aimed at a different generation. Loved Roddy McDowell here and the way his character gradually slips into mental instability and Steenburgen is a great victim, pity they didn’t pony up on that 1 pivotal prop.

(3.5 out of 5)




34.) Ghosts Of Mars (2001) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: After 20 years of people shitting on this movie I felt like it was my turn. And you know for the first 30 minutes the was a passable B movie. We have our team of professionals headed into an abandoned town, very Phantoms, but it's an abandoned town on a partially terraformed Mars. OK, I'm listening. And then unfortunately the rest of the movie happens. If they had played it up for the mystery in the trailers an promotional material it might have done better but we would just be tricking people at that point, the bad part here is... the baddies. We have this Crow/Marylyn Manson inspired leader who's look was already super dated in 2001 and then the specter like "creatures". This is something that could have worked in Star Trek but not in a Carpenter movie. If they had gone more gooey alien or more Event Horizon/Doom then this movie might have had the chops. The sets were great, it had a B level dream team, it just fumbled on the concept. If only this had been a little more like Screamers and a little less like... Ghosts Of Mars.

(2.5 out of 5)




35.) Alligator (1980) (4K UHD)*

My Thoughts: Urban legends become manifest in this Jaws knock off about a baby alligator flushed down the toilet and given unlimited access to growth hormone riddled lab test animals. I have seen bits and pieces of this over the years but this was the first time I got to see it all together and I have to say I quite enjoyed it. I would easily put it in the top tier of Jaws knockoffs and I have moved the sequel to the top of my wishlist. There is just something about wandering the sewer that really does it for me in fiction, maybe it’s growing up with CHUD or The Ninja Turtles or even something that harkens back to reading IT that always makes it a fascinated journey. Solid reptile-sploitation and fun miniatures.

(4 out of 5)

My Daughter's Thoughts:
It was good. I can’t compare it to the knock off because I forgot what the knock off is. (Killer Crocodile is the knock off of Alligator, which was a knock off of Jaws) They had their own Jaws music. Why did they buy a baby alligator because it could bite her finger, a baby alligator? Why did the father flush it down the toilet? He’s got think about if it survived. One of the guys, when they were playing the base ball, it looked like a sweater that Freddy had, that red and green sweater.

B-12.) Pariah Brewing Company: Juicin' Voorhees (Maryland)*

My Thoughts: A lovely mild fruity scent ruined yet again by our carbonated nemesis the IPA. This one has orange in it and it taste how I might imagine an orange cigarette would. Who buys these?!?! What would have been a good beer for this can, I am thinking a light 80’s style lager with some blood orange juice, maybe make it a higher apv too. Now that would have been a nice beer.

(1.5 out of 5)

My Wife's Taste:
Mango beer? Smells like mango. Eeh, color is very lemony but so bitter, smells still mango, bleh. Very bad aftertaste.




36.) Commentary For Ghosts Of Mars (2001) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: I just has to find out if this track was recorded pre or post disastrous release. And it was before! This is a track with director John Carpenter and star Henstridge. And I gotta say it is is more enjoyable than the movie, not that that is really a huge accomplishment. Carpenter and Henstridge trade jabs the whole time and are genuinely fun to listen to especially when they say prophetic things like “if the audience is any smarter than me we are in trouble”. Also based on this track I think there is enough footage where a re-edit of this film could faire a whole lot better than the blemish it has become on Carpenter’s career.

37.) The 'Burbs (1989) (Blu-Ray)

My Thoughts: Young Hanks comedy about sus neighbors and grown men with way too much time on their hands. This has been a favorite of mine ever since I was a kid, the mix of light horror and comedy is near perfect. Growing older you enjoy it on a different level, and connect with the characters more than you thought you ever would as a kid. Also after listening to Corey Feldmans autobiography it was fun to try to catch him shaking or messing up shots but dang if he didn’t show well. This is my first time seeing The ‘Burbs not on VHS or broadcast and it looked great. I will have to take some time in the future to sit down with the Workprint but as far as the alternate ending goes I think they went the right way.

(4.5 out of 5)

My Daughter's Thoughts:
Good, not scary at all. We didn’t really get to see the pizza guy, we just got to see the pizzas fall out. There is a little scene where carol is driving and you can see the puppy. That annoying neighbor reminds me of you, you look like him a little bit.

(4 out of 5)





B-13.) UFO Beer Company: Journey To Planet Pumpkin! (Massachusetts)*

My Thoughts: Big fan of this can art. This one might have the most legit pumpkin smell, legit like carving a pumpkin. Yes, taste the most pumpkin too, not pumpkin spice but actual pumpkin. I almost feel like this should be drank out of a pumpkin. I like it. I am always a bit leery to drink another beer after having an IPA but this was worth it. Weird how carbonated pumpkin juice brings so much joy, what happened to my life?

(4.5 out of 5)




38.) Commentary For Alligator (1980) (4K UHD)*

My Thoughts: This is a track with the director and lead of Alligator, it also has perhaps a less than optimal moderator. That aside there is just something about that lead actor, he has a voice you could listen to read the white pages. Between him and the director this was a good commentary. High points were stories about calling the editor of Jaws and telling them they were having a hard time knocking off a scene, passing conversations with Stephen King where he admits to Alligator being the scariest movie he had ever seen and the story of the pre-existing alligator prop. Yes, the moderator talks a bit much and to the detriment of the track but that is worth ignoring for this one.

(4 out of 5)




39.) Death Reel (2015) (DVD)*

My Thoughts: Well… I guess I own this now. This is an “anthology” made up of super 8 movies shot by kids in the 80s. It’s about as bad as you would expect. But it is thankfully devoid of long dialog scenes and it seems like every few seconds they’re always something new to look at. It’s films like this that really make me reconsider my mostly cover art/price based buying strategy. Also a good reminder that the student film in Super 8 would not have looked nearly as good as it did in the movie.

40.) Winterbeast (1992) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: I suppose I was doomed to watch this anyway after picking it up in the Vinegar Syndrome Homegrown Horrors set but at least this way I got to take a few of you with me! Man, I was too sober for this. I will give it some props for not reusing the same creature though. Indian curse kills white people in Colorado with various stop motion monsters, from monster turkeys to aliens to Groot. The dialog scenes go on for way too long but our stop motion creatures are somewhat charming. Not a good movie but it was something different.

41-45.) The Midnight Club S01E01-10 (2022) (Streaming)*

My Thoughts: The Midnight Club is Tales From The Dark for adults who still want to watch teen horror movies but just can’t relate to their contemporaneous Tik Tok equivalents. Had to watch a little standup and play some Mario Kart after this for mood recovery after watching. But I suppose that is to be expected with a Mike Flanagan series. Be prepared to ponder the abyss. Things are left a lot more opened ended with this one compares to his previous outings as this is meant to be a continuing series. And while I can’t say that it is as good as his previous epics it is still “just one more episode” level of content.


(3.5 out of 5)




46.) Censor (2021) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: Set during a dark time for horror fans, the vibrations which we would feel all the way up until the early 2000s. Our more dower Evil Ed follows a British censor, working in the era of the video nasties and as one would expect the films start to get to her. Up until the last reel I kinda hated the notion of this movie, it seemed to fall right in there with the propaganda of the time but that knee jerk reaction was unwarranted. A dark past, a mystery, a lack of cell phones, this was a good story, the kind that make think and want to find out more, I was all poised to listen to the Historian track but now I am not sure if I should do the director’s commentary instead. Add segue here. I remember a time in high school when they brought in an author who had written some tripe about the relationship between violent movies and crime and as he spoke I could only sit there mouth agape as he rattled off his half baked and mostly stolen ideas from the 80s. As the president of the Horror movie club at the time it was a bit of a life regret not telling him how full of shit I thought he was.

47.) The Immortalizer (1989) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: Able bodied 20 somethings are Shanghaied to a Los Angeles mansion by muscle bound mutants to become donors for the rich. Our story follows one that wakes up, his daring escape and troubles convincing the police. I am glad I didn't see this before watching Get Out, also was this a joke the whole time? That Get Out is a remake of The Immortalizer?!? Alas The Immortalizer isn't even close to as good as Get Out, it plays very flat to the point where I almost nodded off. The effects were meh and the acting wasn't much better. I suppose I need to remember why I chose to watch this though and thru that lens it's not that bad.

(2.5 out of 5)





48.) Gretel & Hansel (2020) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: "Hey, isn't it just going to get lost in a flood of other Hansel & Gretel adaptations?" "Just flip the names, it will be fine." This darker take on the classic adds about as much Vvitch as they could get away with and keep a PG-13 rating. The Borg queen did a great job as are villainous culinarian & similarly cool girl from IT reboot was good as well. There was some elements added to the plot that felt a little heavy handed here but didn't distract too much. In the end it was decent but also something that really anyone wanted.

(3 out of 5)

My Daughter's Thoughts:
I liked it, the witch with the black hair looks like my shadow high doll… again. (Would you go in?) I would not go, I would not go in if I wasn’t hungry (And if you were hungry?) I would go in. It looks so like the doll that the girl had in Benny Loves You.

(4 out of 5)





49.) Death Becomes Her (1992) (Blu-Ray)

My Thoughts: This movie hits a little differently now closer to 40 than it did when I saw it at 10. Goldie Hawn and Meryl Streep are not really actors that typically draw me to films but here as a pair of over the top murderous frenemies they were perfect. Everyone is perfect in this exaggerated feature length Tales From The Crypt episode. Both of our leads take a life altering beauty potion for the ultra rich only to discover when things come to a boil that they are unable to completely kill their rival. The special effects, while cutting edge at the time, do feel a bit dated but the gruesome comedic aspects of this still kill. I would have like to have seen some more substantial special features for this, one only has to watch the trailer to see that there was quite a lot more filmed for this movie than what made it into the final cut and some of those scenes look pretty interesting.

(3.5 out of 5)

My Daughter's Thoughts: (
Are you going to take the potion?) No. (Your answer might change with age) well if you saw what happened to them you won’t want to plus I don’t want to get younger. There was like no horror in it. (There were zombies?!) Not really. They didn’t be careful with themselves. Good, it’s probably for older, like your age or older.

Re: The 18th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/31) ***The List Thread***



B-14.)Breckenridge Brewery: Oktoberfest Marzen Lager (Colorado)*

My Thoughts: Lovely Oktoberfest scent, perhaps a bit maltier than usual. Flavor is off... way off. It taste like seltzer water? Seltzer water and bitter… weird. I kind of think this is from a bad batch… yeah, something is wrong with this beer.

(1.5 out of 5)

My Wife's Taste: Very sour smell. Owwww. Boo. Too bitter. I cannot drink. It’s the worst beer I try this month.





B-15.) Holidaily Brewing Co: Patchy Waters Pumpkin Ale (Colorado)*

My Thoughts: Figured I was already in the rough after that last one, let’s try the gluten free beer next. Smells reasonable, a bit sharp. Well.. that’s weird. You could mix this with that off-Oktoberfest and together the concoction would taste half normal. As it is you get that beer taste right on the front of your pallet and then it just stops. Also ain’t no pumpkin here, why? Disappointing but not quite as wretches as I was expecting a gluten free beer to be.

50.) Commentary For Censor (2021) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: Not quite what I was expecting but a fittingly complimentary track for sure. On here we have a long time British film critic who goes in depth about her experience growing up in that aforementioned dark time for horror fans. And yea complete confirmation bias but man this is what I wish I had said all those years ago.

51.) The Jurassic Dead (2017) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: Gotta have those 10 minutes of stylized credits to get over the 80 minute mark. Wild Eye, where horror’s garbage goes to get a physical media release. Is this movie about a zombie t-Rex, yes, yes it is. Will you find enjoyment in a “so bad it’s good” situation? No, no you will not. This is a grade-z movie that aspires to Roger Corman Raptor standards. It does not come even close to such heights. They got a guy dressed like Duke Nuke 'Em, something they make a point to mention just in case you missed it, and a foam dinosaur outfit, no this isn't a T-Rex Sized T-Rex it is a baby sized T-Rex. This is a movie I am quite frankly embarrassed to own.

(1.5 out of 5)

My Daughter's Thoughts:
It was OK. Why did they all turn into zombies at the end? Looks like Hopescope with a wig. Maybe they could have done a little better with the looks of the T-Rex... maybe.

(1.5 out of 5)





52.) Night Of The Living Dead: Reanimated (2009) (DVD)*

My Thoughts: Watching my second Wild Eye Releasing title of the day because I apparently hate myself. To be fair this looked like just a fun animated version of NOTLD that I could watch with the daughter and just enjoy the different animation style. Alas the animators the got seem to be… high school/middle school students? Yes there is an audio commentary that would probably yield some light on that but I am never spinning this again. Aside from a decent horror host and maybe about 7 minutes of good recreation (including the use of puppets, legos, stop motion claymation and one scene where it is a text based GameBoy game) the majority of this though is awful. Bad drawings, worse animation and a ton of filler video effects intended to look like animation. This could have been something cool, they had 7 minutes of cool but alas they also had another 90 minutes of bad. I might have scored this even lower but you can at least close your eyes and listen to Night Of The Living Dead, which is something.

(2 out of 5)

My Daughter's Thoughts: I
t was ok, the pictures could have been better and I wish they had more Lego segments. In the game one it looked like that Thrillville game and the facial expressions looked like The Sims. I like when Ben as a Barbie was taking down the wood blockers.

(2.5 out of 5)





B-16.) Brewery Ommegang: All Hallows Treat (New York)*

My Thoughts: I can smell the peanut butter over a pretty dark malty scent. Hey you can taste it too! You immediately get that peanut butter over top of dark chocolate... like peanut butter and 100% cocoa taste and it fades to a chalky and bitter but oddly not unpleasant taste. This is bomb, wish I had these flavors on a lighter beer but regardless is something special.

(4 out of 5)





53.) Parasite 3D (1982) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: This 80's post apocalyptic body horror stars a man with a van coming to a small town to do his... research. I thought this was a good twist on post apocalypse films, things haven't completely gone Road Warrior here but our man is working in some non-sterile conditions for sure. I watched this in 3D and that... and the booze, might have been the big selling factor for me. It is assuredly not an Avatar level 3D experience as they pushed thing a bit too far in several scenes to the point of breaking the illusion but it was still pretty fun and I dug the grimy future and the slimy puppet.

54.) Sundown: The Vampire In Retreat (1989) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: Well I guess there was a reason I had never heard of this movie prior to its Vestron re-release. This western vampire comedy seems like a slam dunk to be something I would enjoy, especially boasting stars like Bruce Campbell, David Carradine and Emmet Walsh. But everything felt just a little off, like it was a low budget TV show aimed at kids instead of a movie. I found myself not really liking anyone here, not caring about the reveal and being oddly disinterested in this town full of weirdo vampires that drank synthetic blood. Really I was shocked I didn't like this?

(2.5 out of 5)

My Daughter's Thoughts:
Good, you remember when the wife was at the field with Dave and they were by the haystack? She kinda had vampire eyes. You know when the vampire guy was melting? The skin kind of looked like the Nightmare On Elm Street guy… Freddy.

My Thoughts: How many movies have you seen where the bad guy is a tree? Exactly, go watch The Guardian. This movie is a slow burn with a very satisfying over the top finish. A classic evil nanny tale takes a turn towards the super natural when our too good to be true nanny turns out to be a baby scarifying pagan... tree nymph? This is all established in the first 10 minutes and the suspense of our film is seeing her with the next family. I can't believe it took me 32 years to finally watch this.

56.) Memorial Valley Massacre (1989) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: Mr peepers as the bad guy? Yep it’s that kind of movie. “We’re not shutting down this camp!” as a cave man takes out people one by one. Lacking the gore and nudity of your typical slasher this night in the woods is surprisingly family friendly as Mowgli murders all who forsake the land. It’s bad but oddly interesting too…. This would be good fodder for How Did This Get Made?

(2.5 out of 5)

My Wife's Thoughts:
That’s the son right? Why he didn’t come out and do anything? He knew his father is there, it’s just so weird. Weird interesting movie, and he doesn’t talk anymore too, it’s kind of weird.

(3 out of 5)

My Daughter's Thoughts:
Good. Is this movie called Memorial Day or the thing on the cover? (Both) Unusual, because you don't typically see a caveman as the killer.

B-17.) O'Fallon Brewery: All Hallows Treat (Missouri)*

My Thoughts: Smells like a weird liquorishy old person candy. Taste bizarre. Like some light cleaner got spilt into the beer. I think the real problem here is that I don’t know what Chai taste like. Is this on point? Is it another in succession of bullshit crazy beers? I may never know. Not that it was unbearable somewhat pleasant and pretty mild as it warms. Beer + Fabulouso isn't so bad.

(3 out of 5)

My Wife's Taste:
Smells like rum. Very sweet. Taste like rum with sum sour to it. I don’t know. I don’t think it’s a beer, not bad it’s just too sweet.





57.) Flesh For Frankenstein 3D (1973) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: “To know death Otto, you have to fuck life in the gallbladder!” Young Udo Kier is just as weird as old Udo Kier. This time he is playing Barron Von Frankenstein, married to his sister with 2 mute voyeuristic children. Having created woman he seeks to create a “zombie” man so that they can make him an army of monster child slaves. Or I guess a whole race of slaves. Unfortunately, for the last price (the male creature's head) he acquires a gay head. I think this is meant to be a comedy, it’s hard to tell with how straight it is played but between plot elements and the torrents of blood that spew from every severed body part it has to be… right? A comedy with an abundance of soft euro sleeze erotica. I think I liked this. The 3D was meh but there were a few good pop-out like holding out guts to the audience and the comical head separator. This has made me both want and not want to pick up Blood For Dracula. Perhaps I need to listen to that historian track on the 4K disc...

58.) The Spell (1977) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: Creepy daughter, witch-fu, satanic panic! This 70's made for tv faire took awhile to warm up but was a more than satisfying slow burn. As much about the cool period house as it is the moral dilemma of a daughter succumbing to the siren song of witchcraft, this movie boosts a young Helen Hunt and Mr. McGee from The Incredible Hulk! Both under threat for our fat teen that just doesn't quite fit in. Also it is hilarious that this girl is considered fat in the 70's as she would definitely not be considered fat by today's standards. Also looked like we had a snake out the mouth scene cut short by 70's network censors? I have got to listen to the commentary on this one

(3.5 out of 5)

My Daughter's Thoughts:
Good, you’re right it’s kinda like WandaVision for a little bit. It was not scary at all. It was a pretty house and it did not look like Philbrook museum.

B-18.) 1940's Brewing Co: Effin Pumpkin (New York)*

My Thoughts: No real pumpkin scent, just your typical wheat beer head. On the tongue it is a different story. High alcohol with perhaps overly artificial pumpkin yielding to a light airy wheat. Not bad, but I could have used a better pumpkin flavor, this does not make me feel like I am drinking out of a little pumpkin. Man, I should have bought more of those UFO Journey To Planet Pumpkins. Warmer and flatter I like the pumpkin a bit better (not that that is a conceit you should ever have with beer).

(3 out of 5)




59.) Invasion Of The Blood Farmers (1972) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: Trashy 70's drive-in flick that delivers on it's outlandish title with rivers of blood and... farmers. I wanted to like this but for some reason just couldn't connect with the humor here, perhaps it just hit me at the wrong time but this struck me as somewhat boring.Perhaps somewhat trailblazing for freak fest like Motel Hell but they just didn't have the formula quite down at this point.

60.) The Apparition (2012) (DVD)*

My Thoughts: Ok, this is going to be a spoiler review. This thing has like a 3% on Rotten Tomatoes and has been out for a decade, if you were going to see it you would have by now. Let’s start out with the ending, this movie ends in a ghost CostCo, or maybe an upside down CostCo. Is the lady going to haunt the CostCo? Will the displays change around her? I mean they aren’t going to have tents and sleeping bags on display all year. Is she alive in the upside down? Does she have to eat, is this like a Langoliers situation? So many questions. This movie has everything in it, an Avenger who calibrates TVs, a Harry Potter alum ghost hunter, the ghost lady from The Grudge shows up, it’s set in super Polrergeistian house, there is a Paranormal Activities camera set up, furniture merges into walls, ghost nests, a ghost busting montage and all of that in like a 70 minute movie. Ok 73 minutes but still , those were some super long credits to get this one officially timed out at 82 minutes. Does this movie deserve the hate it gets? I don’t think so, have these people even seen Jurassic Dead? If you can find enjoyment in something like Wish Upon you will find this to be a good bedfellow.

61.) Commentary For The Spell (1977) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: Somehow I listened to an audio essay and a commentary by this Amanda Reyes on different movies in the same challenge. I guess it is a sign that I just need to go ahead and buy her book. The so called Made For TV movie expert does an good job here giving us a baseline history and talking about the movie without really having much in the way of behind the scenes knowledge. Her audio essay for A Child In The Night is a bit better and well prepared but that is something you would expect from a written piece.

62.) Demons (1985) (4K UHD)

My Thoughts: This is a movie that has changes a lot for me over the years. I remember when I first picked it up as VHS as a kid it was so lurid and filthy. It was this secret european thing and there was so so much screaming. It was something I wasn't supposed to be watching so of course I had to watch it. I never upgraded those VHS tapes and probably haven't watched this in 20-25 years (fuck when did I get old?) and watching it today in 4K I was stuck by just how beautiful it looked; The lights, the city, our diverse 1980's cast. And just how kind of goofy the Demons looked. A mysterious free movie ticket turns into a prophetic outbreak of zombie rules demons, one scratch one bite and you are one (unless the script needs you not to be). I dug the collection of people working together to fight the demons, every group of survivors needs a loud mouth pimp and I am always a fan of movies within movies. One thing I never really got while watching this over the years is it's play on public fear at the time of people committing violent acts they see in horror movies, that the movies would essentially come to life in the crimes of the would be public that was cursed with such motion picture imagery (shout out to the commentary on Censor for that insight).

(4 out of 5)

My Daughter's Thoughts:
Good, is it like the end of the world or something? Or the end of the world for that place? (I think it is a localized zombie Demon outbreak) Is it like if you get the green stuff on you you turn into one or just if you get a scratch or bitten? (Maybe all of the above) Some of the people were kind of dumb and weren’t thinking. The not dumb guy, I liked him, and when he was a zombie he was actually jumping I think. How is that motorcycle working? Is it just a prop or a real one? A lot of cigarettes in this movie.

63.) Hellraiser (1987) (DVD)

My Thoughts: I am less an expert on the Hellraiser series than on nearly ever other horror franchise. But from what I can recall one of the reasons this (and I think 2) worked so well was the non-singular focus on the Cenobites. We had this other dirty/forbidden plot and the Cenobites were just a part of that, you could take them out of this movie and it would still work, not as interesting but still watchable. Also there was something so interesting about how everything was dirty/depraved here, the whole movie, ever set, all of the characters (except our virtuous 2), it really builds a unique and lasting impression. There is a reason there are 11 of these and now I think I might actually need to see that new one (and maybe part 2 again).

64.) Jakob's Wife (2021) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: A preacher’s wife turns creature of the night in small town America. Will he cleans evil for the lord or honor his wife? As much a fan of Barbara Crampton as I am this did not do much for me. In fact she might have been the only thing that saved this from being a waste of time. Not a huge fan of the Salem’s Lot vampires and I feel like the vampire hunting didn’t go far enough. A lot of those movie is about being old and kind of having given up on life and that energy really works for the story but probably it’s also somewhat detrimental to it’s entertainment value. In a similar situation I could see myself feeding my wife and taking initiative to kill the one that turned her hoping lore was correct so that was interesting to think about. But for a movie where our struggling husband could bless gallons and gallons of water and must have owned a myriad of religious paraphernalia there were some big missed opportunities here.

(3 out of 5)

My Daughter’s Thoughts:
Good
, there wasn’t many vampires. (Would you try to help me if I turned all vampy?) As much as I can. (Feed me?) I probably couldn’t because I am just a kid. I thought that Jacob was going to get bitten (Did you want him to?) Not specifically. It was weird the way the blood would shoot out of the bodies.

65-66.) Shock Cinema (1991) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: Apparently originally released as 4 individual VHS tapes back in the day, I gotta say if I had picked up any singular one of them I would have been disappointed. Both episodes 1 & 2 are a super lightly hosted collection of themed interviewed responses. While there are a few good stories here the lack of a narrative thru line and the less than clear connections to a lot of the movies being talked about make this just a jumbled interview salad. A few clips or even a poster in the corner of the screen would have gone a long way here. Episode 3 starts with a sizzle reel and you think to yourself, finally they are getting their shit together! No it’s just an indication you are about to watch a clip show (from only a handful of movies and mostly Nightmare Sisters). Episode 4 starts with the same sizzle reel and is just behind the scenes, bloopers and trailers. In this 4 hours of content you could probably stitch together a feature length retrospective but this just all felt like raw, unpolished material. Also it’s vaguely unsettling to shove your finger in Brinke Steven's Mouth every time you pick up the disc...

67.) Hellboy (2019) (4K UHD)*

My Thoughts: I was a little worried when the opening to this movie used the Bordello Of Blood plot device but you know it was actually pretty good. I am not sure why Ron Pearman fan's are so loyal but they are missing out. This was fun time of monsters fighting monsters, cracking wise and man David Harbour is a great fit for this roll. Weird how every movie he is in has him in a Russian prison in some capacity... Just like Paul Rudd and Baskin Robins... conspiracy! But really if you like some slightly goofy monster-sploitation this is well worth a watch, also tons of fun ultra-violence. At the risk of losing the reader this felt to me like R-Rated R.I.P.D., another movie people should give a second chance.

68.) Halloween Ends (2022) (Streaming)*

My Thoughts: When was the last time I was excited to see a Halloween film? Part 7, maybe a little with Part 11, not so much with this one. In fact coming in as a sequel to one of my most disappointing views last year I have to say the bar was pretty low, probably even on the ground. But then they went and did something like this... and totally redeemed themselves! This was shlock trash and I loved it. Michael doesn't even show up for a good 40 minutes and when he does he's just been hanging out in a sewer this whole time. A damaged kid starts bringing him victims and gets brought on as an apprentice Karate Kid so he can get revenge on his bullies. So so many bullies, Haddonfield has got to be the worst place to live in the states... well except Detroit.

69.) Commentary For Parasite 3D (1982) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: A writer track usually doesn’t bode well for commentary fans and this one did fall in line with those expectations. Our heavily accented writer does have a few interesting things to say but they are all very front loaded and early in the track. This is definitely one of those “why am I still listening?” tracks in the second half. I did enjoy the genesis story of Parasite. Empire pictures being famous for green lighting and making movies based on posters as opposed to scripts made this one just based on the title. And w find out that our post apocalypse is 1992, was that mentioned in the movie? Stand out quote: “I’m not sure if this was the high point of anyone’s career except maybe mine.”

(2.5 out of 5)





70.) Demons 2 (1986) (4K UHD)

My Thoughts: Demons 2 is more of the same. Similarly to the first movie, I also really want to see the movie within a movie, as it seemed interesting. Also is it just playing on broadcast tv in this universe? Maybe even just to this building? The whole logic on that was… foreign to me. Fun that they brought back our strong black man, we get to see little Asia Argento and an Italian Ghoulie. Surprising the Demons IP never did much after this, these always struck me as really solid euro horror flicks.

(3.5 out of 5)

My Daughter’s Thoughts:
Good, I thought the pregnant couple would not make it. What about the other characters that drove off in the first movie? Or is this like a different place? (I think it’s a weird sequel) Probably one of those ones that doesn’t math, right? I feel like the kid demon would be easy to kill if she just killed it, right? Because she didn’t really do anything.

(4 out of 5)





71.) Hell High (1989) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: Finally I have seen the movie that goes with this infamous poster art! This is a slightly different 80’s… slasher or ra… almost rape revenge movie. Starting with a prank on a mentally impaired woman that goes way way too far. Our group of lovable misfits gets into a bit of hot water and have to do their best to pin the deed on someone else. Not an especially good movie but being a teen slasher in the 80’s puts it already in the green in my books. I don’t know what it is about watching teens make bad decisions that lead to their untimely demise that is so entertaining. Now let’s see what Joe Bob has to say about it, will he spot the white stunt man in black face?

(3.5 of 5)

My Daughter’s Thoughts:
Good. I did not like the effects of that little chase scene, with the motorcycle and the car. I didn’t like the movement. That teacher has the same name as my gifted class teacher. Ms Storm was like that girl in the haunting who really wanted to walk up the creepy stairs.

(3.5 out of 5)





72.) Commentary For Hell High (1989) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: Any commentary with Joe Bob automatically makes the disc a worthwhile purchase and this was no difference. Big fan of his humor based look at the movie and sprinkling of historian factoids. He does not point out the black face stunt man but he does catch quite a lot of things my mind glossed over while watching this the first time. I would have preferred if the intro had the TNT style list as opposed to showing clips from the film you are about to watch but otherwise this is the dream for commentary fans.

73.) X (2022) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: A 1979 period piece that is a horror movie about people making an adult movie, called X but rated R. Also that must have been a difficult tightrope, how much can you show before X becomes rated X and it's also got to decrease your actor pool at some point as well. TI West does a very nice TCM meets The Visit story that is beautifully shot and set to a fun 70's classics soundtrack. It's got that dirty premise and promised of skin that makes it a shoe in for the genre. But it was kind of weird how quickly the prequel came out. I almost wonder if the prequel was the one he really wanted to do and agreed to do this as a 1/2 deal.

(4 out of 5)





74.) Uncle Peckerhead (2020) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: Duh's World Tour. Death On The Road. A Band And A Roadie. Monster Roadie. $5 Demo Tapes. Literally any other title besides Uncle Peckerhead. Just like Butt Boy I am never going to be able to convince anyone to watch this and it's a shame because it was pretty good. Left with no alternative a struggling band has to hitch a ride with a weird old man on the start of their first tour but things take a turn when midnight rolls around and Peck becomes a creature out for blood. I really liked the comedy with this one, very quirky and off beat, we have a fun What About Bob? thing going on for awhile, some ultra violence and you know some passable music. Can't wait to listen to the cast commentary.

75.) Flavor Flav's Night Tales Presents 'Dead Tone' (2007) (DVD)*

My Thoughts: The Flavor Flav connection here is a complete an unconnected tac on. He is suppose to be a crypt keeper analog, adorned with a spooky version of his clock and then he doesn't talk about the movie at all. And one step further the behind the scene segment, with intermixed Flav, had him in a completely different outfit and clock. The movie is about a group of kids who crank call people until they reach a nut, he comes and kills their parents, cut to a decade later and they haven't learned their fucking lesson! The last reel of this movie plays like a lower budget version of Scream and I actually enjoyed it. It is a mixed cast but our African American victims do seem to have the best scenes and dialog and en up being our final, which is kind of hilarious as when the police get there they are immediately shot. I expected this movie to be a lot worse than it ended up being and if it has a stronger first half it could have had some legs but I imagine by the time it actually gets going we have already lost the majority of it's would be audience.

76.) Commentary For Uncle Peckerhead (2020) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: I tried but I couldn't come up with good alternate poster art for this one. Also Lies! While there are cast members in this commentary this is not a cast commentary it is primary a crew commentary. Not that it was bad but man do I enjoy a good cast commentary. Commentary commentary commentary. Usually low budget movies are a show in for great commentaries as the struggle to overcome leads to some great behind the scenes stories. This one was ok but nothing exceptional.

77.) The Invisible Man Appears (1949) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: Weird post WWII Japanese Invisible Man story. A scientist working on an invisibility formula (which the way he describes it sounds like vantablack paint) is kidnapped and made to turn a man invisible before his formula is ready for human trials. The goal of which is to steal a quarter of million dollar necklace (adjusted for exchange rate and inflation). But he is terrible at this and messes up over and over. and then they run stories about him in the paper and literally everyone believes he is real. It's so weird, not a single skeptic in Kobe apparently. Someone will shout out for help that the invisible man is there and a group of people will show up, all 100% on the same page. Also it has been awhile since I have seen the 1930's Universal Invisible Man movies but iirc the effects in those fair better than the effects here. This is a movie you watch for curiosity sake, not for entertainment value.

78.) The Invisible Man Vs. The Human Fly (1957) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: I decided to watch this this morning just to finish off the set, not really expecting much but dang they upped their game with this one. We get a proper 1960's mad scientist laboratory, no more invisibility potion, this one uses a machine and it doesn't make you crazy. What does make you crazy though is the human fly juice which some construction magnet has for some reason and uses it to get back at people who didn't help him after WWII. To stop the fly killer a police officer decides to go see thru and then we get this cat and mouse game to catch the criminal, with lots of murder, cabaret dancing and charming effects this hit the itch for a fun 50's monster movie. Especially the way over the top final reel.

(3.5 out of 5)




79.) Cockneys Vs Zombies (2012) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: Love the source of the zombie outbreak in this movie, an uncovered sealed crypt from the middle ages that construction workers plan to plunder. This outbreak dovetails with our band of less than stellar criminals attempt to rob a bank and thus our would be bank robbers find themselves in the middle of a massive zombie outbreak. These are your classic slow moving Romero zombies but they do tend to walk a little slower when needed to for comedy purposes. It is a solid plot, decent comedy and passable zombie outbreak. The overly thick "Cockney" accent is what really pushes this one over the top, everyone is just so interesting to listen to. That and for whatever reason I am a sucker for the zomcoms. Something interesting to note for physical media collectors, this title must have sold extremely poorly for Shout Factory as it seems to be heavily discounted ever time they have a sale and the copies that they do send out (as recently as last month) still come with slips. This strikes me as a somewhat overlooked movie state side and I don't think it should be. Whew, I made it to the end of the review and didn’t mention Shaun Of The Dead once…. fuck.

80.) Leprechaun 4: In Space (1996) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: This was the last non-reboot Leprechaun I hadn't seen yet. My pint sized journey is finally at an end. Part 4: In Space takes the Leprechaun to new heights as a galactic terror out to marry an alien princess before being inconvenienced by a super low rent team of Aliens-esk marines. While not up to Jason X quality it does frequently boast Critters 4 levels of space sequel horror. Also come to think about it cannologically, the only reals sequels to the Leprechaun and Friday the 13th at this point could be further space adventures. So this was... bad. Charmingly bad? Maybe. It is for sure much bearable now then it would have been in the late 90's and really a step up from Leprechaun 3 but also frequently hard to watch it's self. I'm split.

(2.5 out of 5)

My Daughter's Thoughts:
Good. So many Star Wars references. I feel like it is better than the trailer, of what I remember. Why was the password Wizard, does it have to do with anything? (The robot guy says it when they first meet him) I don’t remember that (I don’t either I am just guessed from the context).

81.) Hellbound: Hellraiser 2 (1988) (VHS)

My Thoughts: Hey, that guy from The Killer Tongue is in this! So... there does seem to be several characters that more know about the plot than they should. Also our bad doctor who has been researching the box for years before the internet got me thinking. Would there be a Reddit sub about the box now? Watching this today in 250 lines of resolution on my 4K TV I was thinking to myself it might be worthwhile to upgrade this title. Does the hell dimension still look like a rinky dink haunted house in HD? I have always been fascinated with other dimensions, or the idea of them. This, the second Babylon 5 movie, Event Horizon and the Void hit an interesting trigger in my brain. Logically I would think the such things aren't possible but I want to believe.

82.) I'll Take Your Dead (2018) (DVD)*

My Thoughts: A Father and daughter run an under the table body disposal service until one day they receive one that isn’t quite dead yet. The ghostly trappings of this one were a nice light touch as if any place would be haunted it would be this one and the daughter giving me big Lacey Chabert vibes with that voice. I should have watched this one with the daughter.

83.) Day Shift (2022) (Streaming)*

My Thoughts: A struggling separated dad must overcome the bureaucracy at work to secure a better future for his child. Or Jamie Fox kills vampire by the boatload to buy his little girl braces. I really liked the idea for this movie and while it was better than last year's Vampires Vs. The Bonx it still left me wanting. Specifically I think it just kind of fell into boring action shlock with way too much plot armor and exposition in the final reel. Also Snoop is fun but he needs to be used sparingly with the acting. The overly saturated colors, popular music and extreme violence did make my monkey brain happy though.

(3.5 out of 5)

My Daughter’s Thoughts:
Good, wasn’t scary. (It was a comedy) Was that one guy a vampire? Is that why he said that thing at the end? (I think he made it) He just likes vampire hunting. (That was a play on the ending line of Lost Boys.) Oh. What kind of vampire do you think that Seth was? (In the mythology of this movie he would have been an Uber since he survived beheading).

B-19.) The Brox Brewery: Das Brox Oktoberfest (New York)*

My Thoughts: Smells like a fresh fall night. But the smell is a lie. It’s an overly front of the mouth bitter loaded Oktoberfest with a liquorish zinger at the end. Not terrible and does take on light caramel characteristic as it warms but the whole time you are drinking it you are wishing you were drinking a more traditional fest beer. Why you do this to me Bronx?

84.) 3 AM Part 2 3D (2014) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: A step down from the previous 3AM, this time we have a rather tepid ghost getting revenge on his motorcycle club, a headless nun and a the boss is already dead story. The strongest story was the nun one, something about Asian ladies in habits, also there were several headless cutaways that were unintentional laugh out loud moments. As for the 3D it is also somewhat lack luster except for a few stand out shots such as headless pidgin spurting blood and beam thru car windshield.

85.) Patrick (1978) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: Who knew, typewriters would be such a big part of my day? Solid Aussie paranormal medical thriller. Comatose ever since killing his mum, Patrick just lays there, he always lays there... or does he? This was a slow burn movie but being vintage and from Australia every frame was interesting to look at and listen to. Also it reminded me of the morbid fact that they usually suture coma patients eyes shut, I kind of with I hadn't remembered that. Patrick may not be as prolific a killer as nearly everyone else I have had here in the horror challenge but he was oddly one of the most interesting. Also be aware there is some real amphibian death in this movie, if my history serves I think there was a frog plague at the time? So it might have even played a bit well locally. I might need to watch that commentary, we'll see how the sequel treats me.

(4 out of 5)

My Daughter’s Thoughts:
Why do killers always like hospitals? Because of the weak people? And it was like at… Patrick was there when the light was flickering, just like when Vecna was there when the light went on in Stranger Things. It was good.

B-20.) Dead Armadillo Brewing Co: Pumpkin Porter (Oklahoma)*

My Thoughts: Smells like being in Harry Potter, although maybe I am projecting because it is a porter. Ohhh, that taste fancy. Very light bitter and carbonation lead this dark creamy that ends with a satisfying… stick? Finish. I don’t know it’s like I am drinking something made from dark wood but it’s a good. A creamy dark walnut chair leg. I never knew, I guess I am a porter guy.

86.) Patrick Still Lives (1980) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: Wow, I was not prepared. They built an appliance so they could show that and everything! This Italian made unofficial sequel, aside from being Severin's primary business model, pushed the concept of the original so far that it was hard not to have a good time watching it. Italian ladies drink, fright, strut around with no clothes (and for like a considerable amount of the movie) and then ultimately fall prey to our comatose villain Patrick. This Patrick becomes comatic after a bad car accident and then an evil doctor invites a a group of less than stellar individuals to the mansion/coma center for 10 Little Indians purposes. This was off the walls bonkers and is highly recommended for anyone who liked the first one, heck anyone who didn't like the first one might give the sequel a go to. Just be aware there is one particular Cannibal Holocaust level scene that will shock.

87.) Chucky S02E01 (2021) (Streaming) (Wild Card #2)*

My Thoughts: Good start to the new season with a suicide Chucky blowing up a child, a change of settings and an OG Tiffany back in the mix. Also I know you got to do it to build suspense but come on, ain't no way that the Tiffany Doll in the killer doll tv show just going to be a plain doll, why even do that bit at this point. Fingers crossed that season 1 plot armor is wearing thin to add some bite. A note on the SYFY streaming app, what is up with the constant double stacked TV-MA on the screen at all times between that and the SYFY logo at the bottom a substantial amount of the screen was obnoxiously blocked. I am watching it on the SYFY app and I know it's TV-MA, give us a break, guys.

My Daughter’s Thoughts:
Good
, how did all the character’s know where Charles Lee Ray’s house was and about Tiffany doll and all that? (I think that came up in their research last season also it seems that Bride Of Chucky was real movie in this universe that the character have watched?) Ah ok, so people made a movie about a real thing that happened? (Yes) The most interesting part was where they had to go to that church school place because it adds more story to the show

(4 out of 5)

My Wife’s Thoughts: It’s getting weird and so many people are just knowing the Chucky… it’s kind of funny. Therapist are weird, I don’t think she is a therapist, she is somehow related to Chucky.

B-21.) O'Fallon Brewery: Pumpkin Seed Oktoberfest (Missouri)*

My Thoughts: A pumpkin! An Oktoberfest! A pumpkin, an Oktoberfest! It’s a Pumpkin and an Oktoberfest! Has science gone too far? This one actually smells like pumpkin, like the big bin of pumpkins at the store with maybe a hint of raisin? Taste wise it is understandably confusing, Oktoberfest in the front and dark moody vegetable in the back… of your mouth. It’s an interesting brew but one you would have to actively think about to taste. More Fest-y cold and more witchy warm.

(3.5 out of 5)





88.) Crimes Of The Future (2022) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: The Cenobites are at it again this time… But in all seriousness this movie movie does have a Hellraiser sequel problem. It starts you out so deep in the weird sexual surgery of this culture that it just has no where to go, no stakes to up. After the first surgery performance art and sex with cutting scene that’s it, I’m not shocked anymore. Set in a non-specific future humans have evolved to not feel pain and not get infections, this has lead to laissez faire surgery everywhere and the growth of new and exciting internal organs. Most are removed but of course there are a contingency that embrace these evolutionary changes. I was excited for Chronenbergian return to sci-fi but this one didn’t really move the scalpel for me.

89.) John Dies At The End (2012) (Blu-Ray)

My Thoughts: Dang, apparently not my first trip on the Soy Sauce. I guess I streamed this one a few years go during the 2017 challenge... still it is a good movie. Here are my still relevant 2017 thoughts: "John and his friend David inject a drug that opens their eyes to the more Cronenbergian aspects of the world. It is frequently difficult to follow the narrative of this movie with the time displacements/phantoms/lies being told by the main character but I found this horror comedy irreverently charming. You can really feel Don Coscarelli's sci-fi influence throughout the movie, it almost felt British. Also it has made me decide that I need to give Bubba Ho Tip another try after not liking it 15 years ago." Oh yeah, I do need to re-watch Bubba Ho Tep! But maybe Lovecraft Country first though...

(4 out of 5)





B-22.) Zero Gravity Craft Brewery: Jaws (Vermont)*

My Thoughts: Shark fin suds? Chum beer? Maybe made with… sea water? Nope, just regular bad beer in a themed can, always punishing horror fans with these for some reason. Highly carbonated with a sharp near IPA taste and an overly acidic aftertaste that lingers in the back corners of your mouth. I just don’t know if I see Chief Broody drinking something like this, this seems like more a Jaws the Revenge beer.

(2 out of 5)

My Wife's Taste:
Very hoppy, bitter. Yeah so bitter, I don’t like it.



Oct 28th

90-94.) Lovecraft Country S01E01-10 (2020) (Streaming)*

My Thoughts: In a world where Lovcraftian horrors become manifest, the scariest thing of all is white people. I gotta say I was starting to feel a little hurt that every white person was just the worst but then I got into the groove of this as a Blaxploitation affair and yeah it started to work. I suppose the 9 foot tall black lady space robot would have knocked that idea into me too if I hadn't of been in by that point. The show varies in quality as our cast stumble through a litany of Lovcraftian happenings, from time travel to succubi. But it peaked when they did Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade meets National Treasures. I liked it but I can also see why it was never renewed. Also hairy tentacles are way worse than regular tentacles, even if they do call them 'tails' later.

(3-4 out of 5)




95.) R.L. Stine's Mostly Ghostly: Have You Met My Ghoulfriend? (2014) (DVD)*

My Thoughts: The sequel to Mostly Ghostly, a movie I watched with my daughter in the 2018 OHMC, carries on the intricate narrative of our would be magician and his dead friends. At least I think it does? I don't remember watching the other one at all but considering I rated that one a 1.5 I suppose it's for the best. That's that part of my brain that the alcohol kills first, the part with any sub 2 star movie knowledge. This one I think is a step up, not that that is saying much, it is still poorly acted has even worse effects and is made for tv trash for kids. But I kinda dug the Russian Gymnast lady who would inhabit the other characters and make them make fools of themselves and they had some decent flair on their haunted house or on part of it at any rate. Also our dance number at the end had an old man in it, struggling to keep up with the kids the entire time. I identified with that man, the whole I don't want to be here but I am doing it for the kids... that's Mostly Ghostly 2. Also when the dad called the trick or treaters a "marauding hoard of candy crazed goons."

(2 out of 5)

My Daughter's Thoughts:
Good. I like that one kids costume, like the cat girl. That one cat in the drawer looks like of like Ozzy but thinner. It kind of reminds me of, that movie on Netflix that we watched, of the boy that has to read the stories to that witch... (Night Books) It’s kinda like that… somehow.

(4.5 out of 5)





96.) 10/31 (2017) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: Perhaps I was too harsh on Bad Candy? This ultra low budget anthology boast 5 shorts of wildly varying quality. The first story is called The Hag and while it hands down has the best and most picturesque location our aforementioned hag make up is bad, it’s a skinny guy in an old lady costume and it made me feel bad for also judging the old age make up in X so hard. Its best story comes second in the form of a spooky scarecrow tale. Then we a have roller rink killer, demon trick or treaters + Santa? and a more classic slasher short. There was bits and pieces of likable things here but overall it was lacking in the fun and somehow was able to make 4 short stories drag. Fingers crossed for part 2 I guess which I bought at the same time….

(2.5 out of 5)

My Daughter's Thoughts:
Good, what was your favorite story? (Scarecrow) That one was good. Why did the hag not kill that person? (She brings people for the hag to kill) And that’s why they call it the ginger bread house. I liked the one were there was Ben & the other boy and it was like Halloween vs Christmas.

(3.5 out of 5)





B-23.) Empire Brewing Company: Black Magic Pumpkin Stout (New York)*

My Thoughts: This smells like it should be a lotion at Bath and Body Works. Sugar cookies and grape soda scented? It’s weird because it smells delicious the entire time you are drinking it but you get this miss match of bitter chalkiness on the tongue. When I actively try not to smell I get some earthen gourd taste with the chalk, really wished it tasted like it smelled though.

(3 out of 5)

My Wife's Taste:
Smells like pound cake or some kind of cookie... sweets. I don’t know very bitter but thick, smells very close to vanilla when I am drinking. Not bad but I do not care for it.





B-24.) Barrel Of Monks Brewing: Laser Snake (Florida)*

My Thoughts: IPA, fuck. Ok here is my new theory on IPAs aside from their target audience of Covid patients who have lost some aspect of their sense of taste. Their secondary audience is people tricked into buying then when they have awesome as fuck cans like Laser Snake! Smells a bit like an IPA poured over white sauce pizza. Well at least the makers of this one seem to know that no one likes IPAs so they have been kind enough to fruit it up. I am getting nectarine? Or maybe mango? Definitely a fruit but not one that I actively eat, something from the tropical lifesavers line.

(2 out of 5)

My Wife's Taste: (Grimace) Ugh, bitter stuff cannot be in the fruit, stinks, weird.

97.) Sand Serpents (2009) (DVD)*

My Thoughts: Syfy level garbage. But man if they had used effects to the quality of the DVD menu this could have been fun. Set totally in Afghanistan and not a US quarry this... "movie" follows a team of terrible soldiers on a mission to secure a ruby mine? They are captured by Taliban, saved and then pursued by CG Tremor derivatives. Although I guess these are a bit closer to their Dune counter parts than Graboid contemporaries. They do have some semi-interesting abandoned locals to hold up in but otherwise this movie isn't really worth your time. Slightly better than Toxin, handily better than Jurassic Dead.

(2 out of 5)

My Daughter's Thoughts:
OK... I knew at the end that the helicopter was going to come. When sand serpents type creatures there has to be something to do with the neck or they have to go inside to kill it.

(3 out of 5)





98.) Freaks (2018) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: This is a movie I would recommend seeing blind. So stop reading if you fall into that peculiar category of knowing nothing about this film and reading this review? So yeah… no one. OK, this low budget Heroes is set in the Days of Future Past future were all powered individuals are immediately hunted down and eliminated. The reason for the disclaimer is if you go in not knowing this (like I did) the initial set up of the film is quite an interesting ride about a girl living with her father in this crusty old house. Is he crazy? Is the world outside as dangerous as he tells her? Knowing only that initial hook myself this took me on a journey and ended up being some solid highly satisfying sci-fi. This is what that new Firestarter could have been.

(4 out of 5)

My Daughter's Thoughts:
Good, it was very like Firestarter, like the eyes were bleeding. Why did the father think the mother died? (The grandfather told him that. Which powers would you want?) Maybe the moms one to be like a torpedo thing and the main menu of the Blu-ray does not look like any of the scenes in the movie.

(4.5 out of 5)





B-25.) O'Fallon Brewery: Salted Caramel Pumpkin Beer (Missouri)*

My Thoughts: I get that caramel scent but it is a bit sour, can’t say I have ever smelled sour caramel but this is it. Like caramel on a lemon. Taste wise it is sharper just right on the tip of your tongue and that goes away super quick and you are left with near flavorless seltzer water in the middle of your mouth and on the swallow that’s when you get that caramel flavor, not as good as it smells but hey not an IPA! Also yeah citrus zing after the caramel. It’s a bit of a roller coaster beer, might pair well with The Barbarian.

(3.5 out of 5)

My Wife's Taste:
Smells like rum, oh sweet, fruity. Taste like fermented apple cider with a little alcohol, it’s not bad.





B-26.) Zero Gravity Craft Brewery: Oktoberfest Marzen Lager (Vermont)*

My Thoughts: Run of the mill general beer sent, come on Vermont thrill me. On and over the tongue I really like this but then it hits you with that weird sedimentary river water finshing, why, Vermont? (Later) ok after my taste buds had a chance to reset and the beer warmed just a little this faired better, still pretty light on our more traditional Oktoberfest notes that funky aftertaste gets reduced by half and this a light drinkable beer, what the fuck am I even saying anymore?

(3 out of 5)





99.) The Other Hell (1981) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: Oh my god… the tabernacle! This is one of the wildest Nun exploration movies I have ever seen and upon self reflection I have seen a surprising amount of them. Punctuated by that moody 80s Italian horror soundtrack. This hard boiled daughter of the devil flick murders nuns with wild abandon as a priest is called in to investigate these heinous happenings In The Name Of The Rose Style. Just don't expect In The Name Of The Rose quality, also watch this with booze, that is all.

(3.5 out of 5)

100.) Don't Panic (1987) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: Don’t Panic! I miss when movies had original referential music like this. Don’t Panic is a Mexican stab at a US horror movie. It follows our main character Michael as a boy cursed to watch the deaths of his classmates though a Freddy-like villains eyes. Plot wise it is very by the book Nightmare inspired knock off but everything is just a bit off in an unusually interesting way where a US movie with this plot might have bored. Oh, and pajamas, a big part of this movie is the pajamas, they are a a venerable cultural touchstone.

(3.5 out of 5)

My Daughter's Thoughts:
Good, it was like the lamp because they drank a bunch of soda, for the first part, and it was like Nightmare On Elm Street. I thought Michael would survive. And I like how the song in the credits says “don’t panic”. The guy from Don’t Panic looks like Patrick.

(3.5 out of 5)





101.) The Editor (2014) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: Hey it’s a Giallo spoof! And it’s made by the same guy who made Psycho Goreman! When murders start occurring in a small horror film studio all the clues point to dun dun dun dun The Editor. This was a fun send up to the genre with its poorly dubbed and “translated” dialog, ridiculous plot and over the top violence and nudity. Fans of the humor of such films as PG, Dude Bro Massacre 3 or Lieutenant Jangles are highly advised to check this one out!

Re: The 18th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/31) ***The List Thread***



102.) Commentary For Don't Panic (1987) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: They mention Amanda Reyes! That's the 3rd time, adding her book to my Amazon wish list now. I went with the Hysteria Continues commentary on this one and I think I am into them now, I wasn't super vibing with them when I first started listening to their tracks last challenge but now i'm in. They are basically doing the same thing that Joe Bob as doing at the dawn of DVD with those dozen or so tracks he did. Comedy watching + history of related content/reviews/related actors and crew. “It’s those pajamas, they give him special strength.”

(4 out of 5)





103.) Chucky S02E02 (2022) (Streaming) (Wild Card #3)*

My Thoughts: Jennifer Tilly, still lookin' good at 64 and with that comedic timing. Chucky kills a nun, reveals himself to another disposable cast member of dubious appearance and texts other Chucks? We end with out Glen/Glenda cliffhanger (although it has been spoiled for me on the nets already) further cementing Chucks new LGBT style. A note if you watch this streaming on SYFY and then ask the app not to track you, the commercials you get for every break are for HIV meds, EV cars and Insurance. Is there a horror character whose ads would be things like red hats and diesel trucks? What a weird place the country is in. Sucks for stumpy Nica.

(3.5 out of 5)

My Daughter's Thoughts:
Good. I like the pictures in the picture frames, at the start. Lexi's room mate looks a lot like Chucky. (Is she
sus?) Why do you think she is sus? (Because she looks like Chucky.) If she looks like Chucky that doesn't mean that she's sus. I wonder what those two twins look like. I thought Chucky did not like when people had heart attacks, he liked killing? Oh yeah but that time he wasn't really doing the killing stuff that time, really. Or trying to.

(4.5 out of 5)

My Wife's Thoughts: It's good but some ridiculous stuff happen. Heart attack, really that easy? And why not kill Chucky when get him? But that school location good.

(4 out of 5)




B-27.) Drekker Brewing Company: Braaaaaaaains - Blueberry, Blackberry & Pineapple (ND)*

My Thoughts: After about a month of this sitting at room temperate I notice a warning on the side of the can “contains a significant amount of fruit, keep refrigerated at all times”... eep. This straight up looks like fancy fruit juice, some CostCo organic shit. Smells ok, kind of like a berry danish. Taste maybe ok, I mean you can never know at this point, is it suppose to taste like that? Sweet tart… berry flavor. It taste like juice. Thicker than wine, a smoothie with just a hint of carbonation. It’s good, maybe the first horror themed beer that hasn’t been an IPA so I’m all for that. I could get used to not drinking vile things.

(4 out of 5)

My Wife's Taste:
Smells like cake. Mmmm, taste like berry, some kind of berry beer, very sweet. Wine smoothing and beer together.





B-28.) Bridge And Tunnel Brewery: Three Sisters (NY)*

My Thoughts: Cinnamon, nutmeg, a more traditional but light pumpkin spice scent. That is not the taste I was expecting. Taste like bitter mildewed clothing. Maybe the fruit beer threw off my tasters. Let me get back to you in a half glass…. Nah still heavy with that mildewed gym sock smell, maybe a bit of pumpkin though, unremarkable.

(2.5 out of 5)

My Wife's Taste:
Smells like regular beer. Agk, so bitter… creamy but really sharp and bitter. Aftertaste is awful.





104.) A Dark Song (2016) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: Seems like a good rate on a house rental. While people with dead children, perfect recipe for a horror movie. A woman hires an expert in the dark arts and sequesters herself in a house in the middle of the country to have a forbidden conversation. I really liked the first 75% of the movie, it was moody, creepy and it felt like it was building to something. Unfortunately what they built to was a little too big in my opinion and spoiled the whole feel of the movie. It went from spine tingling to schlock. Still interesting but this could have been more.

B-29-30.) Dogfish Head Craft Brewery: Punkin Ale 2022 vs 2020 (DE)

2022 Thoughts: The pumpkin beer. Nice rich pumpkin scent. Taste wise it is crisp and slightly pumpkin-y. After the Planet Pumpkins and O'Fallons earlier this year though I don’t see this being a contender. Pumpkin pepper and liquid dish around the sides of your mouth. Warmer you get a thicker but maybe a bit chemically pumpkin taste. I am still a bit under the weather which may explain why I didn't enough this as much as previous years.

(3.5 out of 5)

Wife's 2022 Taste: R
egular beer smell, but very thin, not expensive, very cheap like Budweiser smell. Mmm, taste ok but taste like high alcohol contents, not bad. Very sharp first but mild after taste.

2020 Thoughts: One obvious difference is that it is no longer translucent but opaque. And it smells a little like an old library. Something does taste off… I can’t quite place what it is. It is slightly less pleasant. Not going into bad territory but it is having a deleterious effect. Maybe the whole aging thing is a bunch of malarkey. Warmer for this one gets you a streak of liquorish/wood finish taste. Is anyone even still reading my expired beer review? What does that say about you?

(3 out of 5)

Wife's 2020 Taste: Beer is aged... that? I thought beer didn’t do that kind of stuff? Smells less. I don’t know... taste little different like a little hoppy but it’s not bad but seems like lower alcohol, doesn’t kick that much.





105.) Trick (2019) (Blu-Ray)*

My Thoughts: Competent Scream analogue about another Patrick killer. This Patrick, or “Trick” does his knify thing one Halloween and then disappears until next year. This movie did a decent job of feeling like a squeal to an existing franchise and its focus on a disgraced police officer instead of a troubled teen helped keep things from being stale. While I can’t say it achieved any great heights it was ok and had some fun actors from horrors past as well.

106.) Red Letter Media: Best Of The Worst 2022 Halloween Spooktacular (2022) (Streaming)*

My Thoughts: Since this is the 5th year I have watched the Halloween BOTW for this challenge I don't think it's much of a stretch to call it a tradition at this point. The movies this year were Demons At The Door, Evil Toons and Night Killer. This year Josh met Tim, they had a nice spooky cave set and wall to wall David Carradine death jokes. A Fun episode and I agree with the eventual choice of victors and for the same reason. Things could have gotten a little more sloppy drunk for my tastes though.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~




This was a weird year. I think it is the first time since I started doing this challenge that I had no 5 out of 5 first time views or drinks. I frequently found myself not enjoying hot topic movies from the main thread but vibing with trashier faire. This was my 13th year of participation and my 13th year hitting the coveted 100+ mark. The 106 entries I watched were in 6 languages (kind of (see entry 29)) hit every theme night but as has been the case for some time now did not complete the entire checklist (the individual crew member checks being my typical poison pill).

Number of 1st time views:
96 out of 106 - 90.6% vs. (2021 - 91.8%)

Number of 1st time drinks:
28 out of 30 - 93.3% vs (2021 - 34.2%)


Number of titles viewed with wife or daughter:
32 out of 106 - 30.2% vs. (2021 - 30.0%)








Most watched Sub-Genre / Type
1). Slasher / Psycho / Homicidal Maniac - 37 out of 106 - (34.9%)
2). Witchcraft / Satanic / Religious - 29 out of 106 - (27.4%)
3). Psychological - 25 out of 106 - (23.6%)


Highest Rated First Time View:
The Barbarian - (4.5 out of 5)

My Daughter's Highest Rated:
Day Shift - (5 out of 5)

Notable 4's
The Haunting
Alligator
Parasite 3D

List is Final! Checklist is Complete! Theme Night Complete!

Spoiler:
Mallratcal's 14th! October Horror Movie Challenge!
Oct 1st
#TitleRatingNewFormatRun TimeYear
1.Horror of Dracula☠☠☠☠˝VOD82 Min1958
IBJoel was nice enough to select this movie for the Spetember warm up, for me, and it's fantastic! And I'd been waiting to watch it again. It starts off like a normal Dracula movie but you find out that Harker knows that Dracula is a vampire and has come to kill him, and because of that the movie moves at a very quick pace. Christopher Lee is very beastial in this and has fairly few lines (his unibrow also looks like a bat). The movie also looks great, like it was from the 70s and not the 50s. Thanks again to Joel for correcting my mistake in not seeing this film before. Theme Night #1.
2.The Guyver☠☠VOD92 Min1991
Aliens created humans to be the ultimate organic weapon. They also created "The Unit" which changes him into The Guyver, a human/alien super soldier, with a giant weakness of having a giant on/off switch in the middle of his forehead. An evil corporation full of regular human/alien hybrids want "The Unit" for reasons? Great creature effects including a disturbing transformation scene of Mark Hamill. He ends up looking like a Zerg from Starcraft. Jeffrey Combs has a small part as Dr. East and shares a scene with David Gale, which was nice. Jimmy Walker is in this, and yes, he does say the line. For some reason I always thought Mark Hamill was the lead in this, but he was 2nd fiddle as a CIA agent investigating the alien corp. PG-13 and focused heavily on humor, I was hoping for more action and gore. Oh well.
3.Count Dracula☠☠☠˝VOD97 Min1970
Lee is back as Dracula, he’s sexy Dracula this time but his castle is full of cobwebs and dust so he’s also back to being a slob, he has a sweet ‘stache, though.
4.Amityville Horror: The Evil Escapes☠☠VOD95 Min1989
I’m pretty sure the house completely fell apart at the end of part 3 but it’s all better now. A team of priests attack the house and as the title says, the evil escapes, into a humanesque lamp. It then travels out to California where it terrorizes a new family. It’s pretty uneventful but the chainsaw going berserk and the guy losing his hand in a garbage disposal were pretty funny. Same with the grandma going hulk-mode and throwing the lamp out the window. End of the move shows the cat getting possessed, so we will see if that is followed up on.
5.Curfew☠☠VOD86 Min1989
A couple of criminals escape from prison and go on a revenge murder spree against the people who put them there. Most of the action takes place at the home of the DA, and the DA’s teenage daughter is the main focus. Pretty light torturing and most of the kills happen off camera, probably due to the budget, but this had some nice shots and wasn’t bad.
6.The Hills Run Red☠☠VOD81 Min2009
I put this off because I heard it was a torture porn movie, but it’s really not. I mean there is some but it’s not the whole movie. It’s a fairly standard slasher in the woods, when some film students go looking for a lost horror movie. Turns out it’s not lost, it’s just not finished and is still being filmed, and they are in it.
7.The Beyond☠☠☠˝VOD87 Min1981
I love the atmosphere in this. Really good gory movie. The child’s head explosion is aces.
8.Watcher☠☠☠VOD96 Min2022
A couple move to Romania, where the wife, Julia, notices someone watching her from the apartment across the street. Meanwhile women in the city are having their heads cutoff. Of course no one believes her when she tells them that she is being followed. Pretty good and you really felt her isolation in a new city where she didn’t know the language. Not to be confused with the terrible Keanu Reeves movie.
Oct 2nd
#TitleRatingNewFormatRun TimeYear
9.Jack's Back☠☠VOD97 Min1988
Someone in LA is recreating the Ripper murders. Or I suppose was, as the movie starts on the day of the killers last victim. Was not expecting the twin thing and was happy that the dream sequence wasn’t necessarily just a dream. The movie slows down big time after that as Rick tries to clear his and his brother’s name. Has a good credits song "Red Harvest".
10.Amityville IslandVOD70 Min2020
You know it’s a good sign when there is a bad CGI yard sale sign in the opening shot. A real one would have cost a dollar and looked better. A woman takes a box of crap from the sale and an old doll ends up possessing her, and she kills her kids. She ends up in prison (which is totally not the director’s basement) where the Warden holds a fight club. She’s still possessed so she has that demon strength and becomes champ. So the Warden sends her and the old champ to “The Island”. They attempt an escape during transport and the demon jumps into a bear, to kill a guard, this has no bearing (hah) on anything and the demon long distance jumps back into the woman. There is also a possessed shark, you never see the demon jump into it so it must be an unrelated demon. The island is where fertility experiments happen, they want to make a super soldier. There are also crappy zombies on the island, so there is a lot going on here and it’s very stupid.
11.House on Haunted Hill☠☠˝VOD75 Min1959
A group of people get locked in a supposedly haunted house for a night in order to earn $10,000. Pretty light on scares but the blind woman in the cellar was great, and the skeleton at the end was adorable.
12.Basket Case☠☠☠VOD91 Min1982
Duane and Belial go to NYC to kill the people who separated them. I love the hotel manager, and Belial is an ungrateful asshole. After all of the trouble Duane went through for Belial, the least he could do was let him score. Theme Night #2.
Oct 3rd
#TitleRatingNewFormatRun TimeYear
13.Starry Eyes☠☠˝VOD96 Min2014
A struggling actress will do whatever it takes to get into the business, including selling her soul. The makeup and gore effects were top notch. Theme Night #3.
14.Jacob's Ladder☠☠☠☠VOD113 Min1990
Is this where the Shakey head in horror movies got its start? It works in this but it’s usually pretty lame. Really good flick even knowing how it ends.
15.Alone in the Dark☠☠☠VOD92 Min1982
Four mental patients escape and attack a new doctor’s family. The siege doesn’t start until around the hour mark but the movie stays engaging throughout. An early role for Lin Shaye.
16.Blood Diner☠☠˝VOD88 Min1987
A couple of brothers try to bring their God to life by holding a blood buffet. I see this movie is not well liked but I thought it was goofy fun.
17.Frankenstein Created Woman☠☠☠VOD92 Min1967
Frankenstein creates a device that makes a field so strong that nothing can pass through it (except light can, bet he feels pretty stupid right about now) and theorizes that it could trap a soul from a freshly dead body. He gets to try it out when his assistant Hans is executed for a murder he didn’t commit. Han’s secret girlfriend (who is deformed) kills herself, and Dr. Frank transfers Han’s soul into her body, and then transforms her into a babe. She then sets out for revenge on the real murderers. Beautifully colorful movie and I really liked the change on the old story.
18.Bloody Murder☠˝VOD88 Min2000
It’s a slasher at a summer camp. With how often people say Trevor Moorehouse they really wanted hi, to be the next Jason Voorhies. Has some of the wussiest music in a horror movie. I feel like I’ve seen this movie before, but I thought it was Bloody Murder 2 that I watched... I’m going to have to watch that one now to find out. The boom mic was all over this movie, should have gotten screen credit. Main girl takes a for real fall during the big chase scene that looked like it hurt.
Oct 4th
#TitleRatingNewFormatRun TimeYear
19.Roadgames☠☠☠VOD100 Min1981
A trucker suspects a man in a green van is killing hitchhikers, the man seems to be trying to set the trucker up. It’s mostly Stacy Keatch taking to himself to keep himself company on the road. Jamie Lee Curtis isn’t in most of the movie, but it’s pretty good. Used the randomizer to get this pick and I think I lucked out here.
20.The Company of Wolves☠☠˝Blu-Ray95 Min1984
It’s about sex, innit? The movie is set in a dream and we get multiple stories within that dream, so there is some Inception shit going down. Never thought I’d see Angela Lansbury in a horror movie, let alone getting decapitated. The transformations were pretty good. Been meaning to see this one for a long time now. Theme night #4.
21.The Believers☠☠☠VOD114 Min1987
A recently widowed psychiatrist and his son move to New York, where a series of ritualistic child murders are occurring. The cult needs 3 child sacrifices to renew their power with the gods.
22.The Amityville Curse☠˝VOD91 Min1990
A priest gets murdered in a church, the we cut to 12 years later, where 5 friends buy the house in order to flip it. It’s not the classic house and looks nothing like it, maybe that’s why there is no real haunting, the only thing that appears to be haunted is a confession booth that is kept in the basement. No one else dies until an hour in, and the killer is one of the 5 friends (and also killed the priest). IT’s super obvious who it is.
23.Jeepers Creepers: RebornVOD88 Min2022
Starts like the first movie but it’s an old couple who see the Creeper dumping bodies. That turns out to be an Unsolved Mysteries type show, so it’s nice that they are giving it credit to where the idea came from. The other 3 movies are just movies in this universe. This follows a couple who go to an outdoor horror convention and then an abandoned house, after “winning” the prize at the con. Once they get there they are locked in by humans who are helping the Creeper for some reason. The Creeper makeup looked bad and there was a lot of digital locations used and they all looked terrible. Very light on action/kills/gore. This was bad but still better than part 3.
24.Goodnight Mommy☠☠☠˝VOD92 Min2022
I haven't seen the original but I thought this was very good. I didn't figure it out until just before it happened.
Oct 5th
#TitleRatingNewFormatRun TimeYear
25.Beyond the Gates☠˝VOD84 Min2016
Two estranged brothers reunite to pack up their missing father’s VHS store and find a spooky VHS board game. It’s pretty uneventful as they stop playing frequently, that’s because there is not much to the game and it’s all about their relationships, but’s even there it’s pretty shallow.
26.I, Madman☠☠☠˝Blu-Ray89 Min1989
A woman gets stalked by a character out of a book she is reading. The killer is going around and cutting parts of people’s faces off to graft to his own in order to make her love him.Not quite as good on a rewatch, but still pretty good. Theme night #5
27.The Black Cat☠˝VOD92 Min1981
An old man takes control of a cat’s mind to make it do his bidding but the cat breaks free and starts killing. A photographer and a policeman are investigating the deaths. It’s really not very good, it’s great when the cat is attacking people but there’s not much of it. The old man making a tiny noose for the cat, and when he bops the photographer on the head right after she gets swarmed by bats are high comedy.
28.Manhattan Baby☠☠VOD89 Min1982
After returning from Egypt a little girl gets influenced by an Egyptian necklace of an evil god. It’s pretty slow and light on horror but it’s not bad.
29.Phantasm☠☠☠☠VOD89 Min1979
After returning from Egypt a little girl gets influenced by an Egyptian necklace of an evil god. It’s pretty slow and light on horror but it’s not bad.
30.Dead Space☠☠VOD78 Min1991
Starts with a nice little space battle. A space captain? And his robot answers a distress call from a research station. That station is creating a virus that can mutate rapidly, it does so and escapes. It eats some brains and turns into a puppet. It becomes a very large puppet shortly after (it looks like The Brood from X-Men). It also carries every disease known to man. The rest of the movie is the hunt for the puppet as it picks them off. Bryan Cranston is a scientist who is sick and dying, sounds familiar.
31.The Fallen Ones☠☠VOD89 Min2005
Archaeologists find a 42-foot-tall mummy in the US. His dad, a fallen angel, is also there, chilling in Vegas. After the flood the fallen angels could no longer father giants, but there is a prophecy where if he mates during a lunar eclipse at a specific time, he will be able to make giants again. It’s 2005 and a TV movie so the CGI is pretty bad. There is a weird scene where the angel’s followers have a mechanical giant suit with people strapped to it. I think the producer saw the wire frame animation of the giant and wanted it added into the movie, because that’s what it looked like. I thought I was going to hate this but it was better than expected, and Tom Bosley was fun.
32.Doctor DraculaVOD90 Min1978
A hypnotist has written a book and claims to be the reincarnation of Svengali, a fictional character. Meanwhile there is a Dracula on the loose. Dracula has killed a “college aged” woman’s mother. She goes to Svengali for help but gets hypnotized into doing his bidding. Besides Svengali there are others who have ben reincarnated (and are part of a Satanic cult) and want Trilby’s (The woman Svengali loves) soul, as she is as goddess and will give them power to live forever. Dracula wins, but the hypnotized woman blows him up with a car bomb and the movie cuts to credits, got a laugh out of me at least. Despite all of this the movie is boring. The worst crime.

#TitleRatingNewFormatRun TimeYear
33.The Legacy☠☠VOD100 Min1978
An American couple get a mysterious offer to go to England. Where they end up at a mansion in the country along with 5 Rich weirdos and their dying host. There is a killer among them who is trying to steal the host’s satanic power.
34.The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning☠☠DVD91 Min2005
The problem with prequels is that you know everyone is doomed. Leatherface is born in a slaughter house, he’s deformed so he’s tossed in the dumpster, where his current family finds him. Uncle Charlie takes to killing and being a cannibal awful quick. Turns out he literally got the taste for it in the Korean war as a POW. This is really the R. Lee Ermey show, and wouldn't be half as good without him.
35.The Keep☠☠˝VOD96 Min1983
Nazi’s accidentally release an evil from a keep. Some guy who I suppose is the evils opposite heads to the keep to destroy him. I liked the look of the evil monster man. There are some great shots and good music, which you expect from Mann. This movie does feel rushed and I’d love to see the Mann’s cut, someday. Theme night #6
36.Mirror Mirror 2: Raven Dance☠˝VOD91 Min1994
The mirror ends up at a church orphanage along with a brother and a sister (they are the only orphans there) their older sister and a doctor are trying to steal their inheritance. Early role for Mark Ruffalo, he plays the sister some of his clown music so she can dance to it, it’s very embarrassing. There is also a nun who knows about the evil mirror but does nothing about it. So few characters that people don’t start dying until 70 minutes in.
37.Orphan☠☠˝VOD123 Min2009
Not bad, the did a good job making Esther look older in the big reveal. The mom giving Esther the Macho Man elbow drop in the greenhouse was a highlight.
38.The Last Slumber Party☠˝VOD71 Min1988
‘88 but the fashions look like ‘78, the house looked very ‘70s as well, there are Bee Gees posters on the walls! Super lame slumber party, the girl’s mom was even at home. A maniac dressed as a surgeon is killing people. Things get complicated when the nerdy kid also decides to kill his classmates. Or it would have if he didn’t get killed right away. Maybe the dumbest final girl ever, with a bullshit dream ending. At least it was short.
Oct 7th
#TitleRatingNewFormatRun TimeYear
39.Lake Mungo☠☠☠VOD87 Min2008
Fairly creepy fake documentary about a girls drowning and following creepy incidents at the family home. Theme night #7
40.The Collection☠☠˝VOD82 Min2012
The main character from the first movie is back as the man in the box, this time a nightclub is trapped and the Collector grabs a young woman, but the main character escapes and is pressed into a team to get her back, and they take the fight to the Collectors murder hotel. Pretty good third act. Really only 75 minutes as there are 7 minutes of credits.
41.Dead Heat☠☠☠VOD84 Min1988
Better on the 2nd watch. Lots of good action scenes. The corporation that built the resurrection machine is in the same building as the witch corp. In the Sorcerers movies.
42.Mothra vs. Godzilla☠☠☠VOD88 Min1964
A typhon washes up Mothra’s egg and a coastal reclamation project frees Godzilla. Mothra kicks Godzilla’s ass until her life runs out, but the egg hatches and 2 larvae emerge and defeat Godzilla by spraying him with cum. I used to hate this entry in the series but it was mostly because of the American dub and the singing. Seeing it now in Japanese it’s way better. Light on action but it’s not bad at all.
43.Omen IV: The Awakening☠☠VOD97 Min1991
Movie is pretty much a remake of the original with the mother suspecting. It looks like the girl is going to be the anti-Christ, but the mother has another kid and that one is the devil, the girl was just carrying the embryo so it could be implanted into the mother. The girl is only devils protector. So hell is kind of sexist. There is a callback decapitation but it nowhere near the level of the 1st, being a TV movie that makes sense. Movie really loses steam in the 2nd half.
44.Ticks☠☠VOD88 Min1993
A bunch of troubled teens go to camp, where they are attacked by giant ticks. The tick problem is caused by weed farmers using steroids on their crops. Has teen Seth Green, Clint Howard and Alfonso Ribeiro, who plays an LA street tough, which you can’t take seriously, but he was the most entertaining part. Surprisingly few deaths. I think it would have been better with more mayhem.
Oct 8th
#TitleRatingNewFormatRun TimeYear
45.The Sadness☠☠☠VOD99 Min2021
A virus turns people into maniacs who kill and rape. Some of them cry while doing this as they are aware of their actions, I like this. Real bloody and some good gore. Good flick.Theme night #8
46.Zombie High☠☠VOD93 Min1987
A private high school is taking a piece of every student's brain and replacing it with a crystal, it turns the students into yuppies and the faculty use it in a serum to give them eternal life. One teacher gets the hots for a student and the whole thing comes to an end with some good old rock 'n roll. Not scary enough to be a horror movie, not funny enough to be a comedy, but meh.
47.Orphan: First Kill☠☠˝VOD99 Min2022
The lighting was very bright, everything was oversaturated, I suppose that was to help Esther to look younger. There was an unexpected turn halfway that was very much appreciated, it ended up not being a standard prequel. I actually would have liked this to be a little longer to have more fun with the twist.
48.Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead☠☠☠VOD100 Min2014
Picks up at the end of the 1st movie, the main guy makes it to a hospital and has his arm replaced with that of the Nazi officers, and vice versa. It leads to some good comedy. Actually, I found this movie quite funny. Movie was surprisingly in English.
49.Demonic Toys☠☠VOD83 Min1992
A cop and two criminals get trapped in a toy warehouse, the blood of the dying criminal powers a demon that is buried beneath the building, to possess a bunch of toys. By killing enough people, he will be strong enough to rape a baby into the cop. It takes a while to get going and not a lot really happens. The spirit of the cop’s unborn child shows up as a toy soldier and saves the day.
50.The Borrower☠☠˝VOD92 Min1991
An alien gets devolved into a human and sent to Earth as a punishment. As his body takes damage, he can repair it by eating people. His head immediately explodes, and the only way to fix that is to take someone else’s head. There is a B plot of a cop trying to catch an escaped criminal, but it’s boring. The stuff with the alien walking around and trying to be human was all great, it reminded me a bit of Edgar from MIB. The movie just ends sort of abruptly. It’s like they had two different movies that they merged together. Back to back movies with Bentley Mitchum in them.
51.Violent ShitVOD72 Min1989
A kid gets spanked for playing in the woods, so he kills his mom. Then 20 years later a zombie? Attacks some “cops”. It’s not a zombie, the kid all grown up, he just has shit on his face. Red Red Wine starts to play, no way they got the rights to that. Everyone in the movie is pissed off and complaining and that’s pretty amusing. I wonder how much of it was written and how much was them being annoyed at being in their friend’s movie? Anyway, it’s pretty boring, there’s no story, it’s just the guy going from place to place killing people and pulling them apart. In the end he pulls himself apart and there is a baby inside of him, sure, why not?
Oct 9th
#TitleRatingNewFormatRun TimeYear
52.Blood Beach☠☠VOD89 Min1980
Something is pulling people to their deaths through the sand on a beach. I saw commercial for this when it was playing as a late-night movie, when I was a little kid and I’ve wanted to see it ever since but didn’t know its name. I always remembered the girl being pulled from the sand with bloody legs. A would-be rapist gets his dick bit off, that was pretty good. The cops are also a lot of fun, this had a good cast. It’s not terribly exciting but I’d like to see it in HD.
53.Howling IV: The Original Nightmare☠☠DVD92 Min1988
A writer is having strange dreams/visions, so she and her husband head to the country. A former nun is in town looking into whatever caused her friend to go mad. Like the first movie the husband cheats with the mysterious woman from town, and also the whole town are werewolves. First transformation happens 80 minutes is and is a pretty cool melting one. The werewolf is scarcely seen as it’s really not good looking in its full form.Pretty bloodless, too. Not counting the wolves only 4 people die. Theme night #9
54.Howling V: The Rebirth☠☠˝VOD96 Min1989
Starts with a bunch of people dead in a castle, the one guy has a ridicules anime sword, that handle is nuts. A baby survives that night and we cut to 500 years later, where a group of strangers have been invited to the reopening of the castle. All of them have the same birthmark, and one of them is a werewolf. Fairly good little mystery of who it is, even though they pretty much tell you.
55.Dracula's Daughter☠☠˝VOD71 Min1936
Van Helsing is arrested for Dracula’s murder, but a woman shows up and burns the body, in hopes of freeing her from Drac’s curse. As you can imagine it doesn’t work and vampire attacks begin to happen. Mostly focuses on a psychiatrist, as Dracula’s daughter thinks that maybe the power of the mind can overcome the power of darkness. Van Helsing becomes an afterthought and is not in much of the movie.
56.Breeders☠☠VOD77 Min1986
Aliens are raping virgins, so that they can take over Earth. A cop and a doctor are trying to stop it. It ends very anticlimactically. Lots of nudity. Teresa Farley is terrible in this, zero emotion, no wonder it was her last of 2 roles, she’s pretty though, but in a sea of bad acting she stands out.
Oct 10th
#TitleRatingNewFormatRun TimeYear
57.The Day of the Beast☠☠VOD99 Min1995
A priest figures out the when the birth of the antichrist is going to happen and sets out to commit as much sin as he can in order to make contact with the devil and stop him. He enlists the aid of a heavy metal fan and a TV psychic. Wasn’t expecting this to be more of a comedy. It was fine but felt a little long.
58.Torso☠☠☠VOD90 Min1973
Someone is killing art students, so they decide to take a holiday in a small town, where the killer follows them. Pretty good little mystery, and things got tense when there was only one woman left in the house.
59.Mother's Day☠☠☠VOD90 Min1980
Three old college roommates go on a camping trip where they are attacked by some backwoods hillbillys. Nice fake out opening. It’s a pretty good revenge movie and a parody at the same time.
60.X☠˝VOD106 Min2022
A group of people head to a farm to film and adult movie. The owners of the farm are a creepy elderly couple. It's not spooky, the old people stuff was either gross or funny but I did like the juxtaposition of old and young. One of the guys had some nice manties. I like Ti West's stuff, but this was a let down.
61.Terrifier☠☠☠˝VOD86 Min2016
A clown is killing people in an old warehouse on Halloween night. Art the Clown was pretty cool, he definitely made the movie more entertaining, and I liked his little hat. I heard this was torture porn so I avoided it, but it really wasn’t at all. Theme night #10
62.The Raven☠☠☠˝VOD61 Min1936
A woman (Jean) crashes her car, and her father begs Bela to come out of retirement and save his daughters life. He does and falls in love with her. She’s a dancer and dances to the poem ‘the Raven’, this horns him up big time. Her father disapproves. Karloff shows up trying to get his face changed, as he is a known criminal. Bela will do it if he will kill the father. They agree but Bela just uglies him up, and we get the monster growl! Bela invites some people over for the weekend and Karloff starts to fall for Jean. They all end up in Bela’s Poe themed torture dungeon, but Karloff has a change of heart and saves the day. Short, but I quite liked this.

After getting some CTE, Johnathan has a dream of his family being murdered. It actually happens, and the first half of the movie is Johnathan and his cop dad trying to catch the killer. Second half of the movie is the killer jumping into new bodies, after he is executed. He’s got strange electricity powers now. There’s also a dead girlfriend and the power of love saves the day. The movie takes a bit of a downturn once the killer jumps into the power grid, it was really good in the beginning and body hopping parts. Mitch Pileggi is a great killer.
64.Poltergeist III☠☠˝Blu-Ray97 Min1988
Carol Anne is now living with her aunt and uncle in a nice new skyscraper in Chicago. A quack school psychologist hypnotizes Carol Anne and Cain finds her. The doctor thinks it’s all mass hypnosis, even when the haunting physically manifests. He’s seriously one of the most ignorant characters in horror history. There are lots of cool shots with reflections and mirrors. In the end Tangina leads Cain into the light and the family is saved. Except for Scott, a friend of the daughter. He gets pulled into the mirror but he never comes back, they just forgot him. Theme night #11
65.The Boneyard☠☠˝VOD93 Min1991
Two cops and a psychic investigate the apparent murder of 3 children. The kids turn out to be ghouls. Takes place in a coroner's office. Phyllis Diller is good in this. Her and her dog turn into monsters after consuming some of the ghoul flesh. They look goofy especially next to how creepy the ghouls were, I think this would have been better if it had picked a tone a stuck with it.
66.The Black Phone☠☠☠VOD103 Min2021
The Grabber is grabbing kids and murdering them. The current abductee is getting ghostly phone calls from the previous murder victims, offering him help to beat the Grabber. The child’s sister is getting prophetic dreams about the abductions. I really liked the brother/sister relationship.
67.Delirium☠☠☠VOD94 Min1987
Someone is killing the models of a men’s magazine, so lots of nudity. It’s pretty good, lots of red herrings and some pretty good music.

An artist gets a possessed mirror from a homeless guy. That homeless guy killed his family when he was younger and turns out to be the artist’s dad. Now the mirror wants the artist to kill his friends. The building this happens in is Paddy’s Pub from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
69.Winterbeast☠˝VOD77 Min1992
Park rangers go looking for a missing ranger. They find a strange totem pole and hear a legend about trying to keep evil demons away. One of the demons looks like Groot and smashes a woman. They are in stop motion and look pretty cool, the human claymation not so much. The evil lodge owner was a highlight.
70.Disconnected☠☠VOD84 Min1984
A man is killing woman and has set his sights on a woman working in a video store. They go on a couple of dates and she starts getting weird phone calls. Then he dies and the phone calls keep happening. There was one scene where the sun was exploding in her living room, close a blind! Low budget but I kind of liked it. It had a nice fall look/feel. Theme night #12
71.Stepfather II: Make Room for Daddy☠☠VOD93 Min1989
Daddy escapes from the nuthouse and tries to build the perfect family again, with a recently divorced woman and her son. The kid is really an afterthought and barely in the movie. His whistling of Camptown Races is what brings him down.
72.Maniac Cop☠☠☠VOD85 Min1988
Tom Atkins hunts a maniac cop, and Bruce Campbell is setup to take the fall for it. The Maniac Cop got sent to prison for violating people’s rights and gets attacked and left for dead. The doctor at the prison heals him as best he can and facilitates his escape. Now MC wants revenge on the people who put him in prison. Atkins getting killed two thirds of the way in is a great turn. The stunt at the end of the movie looked dangerous as hell.
73.Lamb☠☠☠˝VOD106 Min2021
A couple on a farm have a sheep that gives birth to a half human, half lamb creature. They are very happy with it as they have lost children in the past. The husband's brother shows up and was going to kill the lamb but decided against it. The Goatman shows up and shoots the husband and takes the lamb with him. So don't fuck with nature, I think?

A girl with a power of being able to communicate with bugs is being stalked by a killer, who has been killing girls at a private school. Donald Pleasence is an entomologist with a chimp friend. Sadly, the chimp is not the killer, but she does get revenge with a straight razor. There’s also a monster child that was being chained up. Pretty good weird movie. Theme night #13
75.Flesh for Frankenstein☠˝VOD95 Min1973
Frank is trying to create a master race. The doctor needs a head but picks the wrong man. I like that the equipment they needed to remove the head was just a club and big pair of scissors. Campy and full of bad acting, the doctor fucks a corpse, some real unappealing sex scenes, but ultimately kind of boring.
76.The Bone Snatcher☠˝VOD90 Min2003
A search crew for a mining company go looking for three missing members, and run into a monster. The monster is a swarm of ants that quickly eats people, then uses their bones to give itself a more solid structure.
77.The Dark and the Wicked☠☠˝VOD95 Min2020
A brother and sister return to the family farm to help out their sick parents. The mom kills herself, and afterwards the brother and sister start hearing and seeing strange things. I really liked this until the ending.
78.Hollywood's New BloodVOD76 Min1988
A movie shoot blew up the wrong house and killed a family many years ago, and some of them now wander the woods, or so the story goes. Those brothers are now killing a bunch of acting students, who are at some sort of retreat. The killers don’t really look dead, more like homeless. One of those movies with jungle noises in the woods. Really not good. Movie is really only 65 minutes long, the rest is scenes from the movie set to a terrible title song, that loops 3 times.

80.Howling VI: The Freaks☠˝VOD100 Min1991
A British guy ends up in a small dying town, a carnival & freakshow also show up. The owner of the freakshow wants the Brit, as he is a werewolf. He looks more like an ape-man, though. The freakshow owner is a vampire, he looks more like The Master crossed with an alien. It’s pretty boring.
81.The Burning☠☠☠VOD91 Min1981
Camp goers accidentally set a caretaker on fire. He then heads back to the woods for revenge. It’s so weird that the Weinstein’s created this. There are a couple of very sexually aggressive guys in this, and I’d bet Harvey wrote those characters. Jason Alexander always gets brought up when talking about this movie, but I think Fisher Stevens is more notable. He’s won an Oscar AND was The Plague in Hackers, one of the greatest movies of all time.
82.Halloween Ends☠˝VOD111 Min2022
Not much action in this one. I didn’t like what they did with Allyson for most of this movie. Laurie was a fuckin' mess in part 2, her daughter is killed, and after 4 years she's just good. The crowd scene at the end could only be worse if the people clapped and cheered. I really liked Halloween 2018, and I wanted to like these last 2 movies more than I did. Even with lowered expectations I felt this was a letdown.
83.The Screaming Skull☠☠VOD68 Min1958
Very nice of the producers to give me a free burial if I die while watching this. More movies should do this. Newlyweds' (Eric and Jenni) movie into Eric’s old house. They have a gardener named Mickey, who is kind of creepy. Eric’s last wife died in an apparent accident. Jenni is wealthy and Eric has money problems. Jenni has spent time in the booby hatch. I think you can see where this is going. Soon, Jenni starts seeing a skull around the house. It’s revealed that Eric is doing it, but then a real ghost minces after Jenni (for reasons unknown) and then kills Eric.

Two people go searching for a missing couple and accidentally release the fish into the local river. The fish were the experiments of the army. There is a camp and grand opening of a resort in their path. Pollution from a smelting plant saves the day. Pollution, is there anything you can’t do? Far less blood and boobs then I was expecting.
85.Piranha 3D☠☠Blu-Ray88 Min2010
Prehistoric Piranha emerge after an earthquake frees them from an underground lake, just in time for spring break. Jerry O’Connell plays a good, slimy Girls Gone Wild character (remember that?) Very loose remake.
86.I Spit on Your Grave☠˝Blu-Ray111 Min1978
A writer from New York heads to the woods to write her first novel. She gets raped by 4 guys but the simpleton is unable to killer (and cum). She spends the next 2 weeks healing and plotting her revenge. It looks great in HD but it’s a boring movie. Theme night #15

Really fantastic effects. I liked how the people you'd suspect would survive or lead the movie die.
88.Maniac Cop 2☠☠☠VOD90 Min1990
Jack and Teresa, both get it early in this one. Cordell is back and looking like Jason from F13:P8. He sort of teams up with a serial killer (Turkell) who has been murdering strippers. Two new cops are on the case and the Brass is still covering it up. Turkell gets caught and shares quite the jail cell (Clarence Williams III, Danny Trejo, Shelly Desai). The commissioner admits Cordell was framed and his name is cleared, but Cordell has to kill the people that sliced him in prison. There are some really good stunts in this, I wonder how many times they had to do the burn suit stunt, because that went on for a long time. The assault on police HQ was also quite good. This was way better than I remembered.
89.The Devil Bat☠☠˝VOD68 Min1940
A mad scientist (Dr. Paul) creates an aftershave that makes his giant bat kill whoever is wearing it. He uses electricity to make them grow. Dr. Paul is out for revenge on the people who have gotten rich off of his work. Newspaper men look into the strange murders. The two fake a picture of the bat and get fired for fake news. They end up killing the first bat, but the doc makes another. Naturally in the end the doc gets splashed by his creation and the bat gets him. Not bad.

Third is a guy going cross country but stopping at a farm house, that has the ghost of a father who killed his daughter, and they are caught in a loop. The girl wears a necklace and once that is removed her head falls off. The four friends in the wreck are all dead.

A man moves to Seattle, after his wife and daughter die in an accident. He rents a creepy old house and soon strange things start to happen. He finds a hidden room and learns that the former owner of the house drowned his son in a bathtub, the replaced him with an orphan boy, all in order to secure his inheritance. It’s a pretty good little mystery.
95.Maniac Cop 3: Badge of Silence☠˝VOD85 Min1993
A Santería ritual brings back Matt, who protects a braindead cop. He mainly goes after the doctors and a couple of nightcrawlers, that wronged her. Sean from part 2 is back. Matt then wants the same ritual performed on the cop but her soul won’t come back, and Matt then attacks Sean. The budget was all spent on the car chase at the end. Robert Forster shows up briefly and is immediately killed, which was a shame. It mostly takes place at a hospital and is pretty dull as Matt isn’t causing any mayhem.
96.Offerings☠☠VOD94 Min1989
A kid who can’t talk gets pushed down a well. 10 years later he escapes from a mental hospital. He was sent there because he killed his mom. Now he is killing the kids who hurt him and giving offerings of body parts to the one girl who befriended him. The sheriff in this is terrible at his job. The dark-haired girl had a very strange accent, they all had a southern twang, but she was trying to do a valley girl thing and it was very strange. Music really wanted to be Halloween. Movie also looks way older than '89. I would have guessed 1980.

99.Night Train to Terror☠☠Blu-Ray98 Min1985
God and the Devil battle for souls on a train to the afterlife. First story is set at a mental hospital where the doctors hypnotize a patient and have him kidnap women. Richard Moll then rapes them and cuts them up so they can sell the parts to medical schools. Second is about a guy and a girl who fall in love, the girl’s sugar daddy doesn’t like it so he plots revenge with his club of weirdos, The Death Club. They play games where one of them may die. Third is about an author (Richard Moll), his wife and a nazi devil, and it kind of sucks. The song during the wraparounds is great though and this movie is entertaining in its badness.

An old woman is murdered in her apartment and then strange things begin to happen to two friends. One of them has been marked (by the old woman) which means they are going to get possessed by a demon. After the possessed guy gets kidnapped, the protagonists attempt an assault on the witch house but end up getting killed. The problem with these movies is you are always waiting for something interesting to happen.

He learns that the visions are sucking the life out of him, but has one more vision, that of a senate candidate becoming president and launching the nukes. So, he tries to kill the candidate. Pretty damn good.

A mixed family moves into their newly built home (the last house built here burned down) and they find the dollhouse in an old shed, and the strangeness begins. This time the evil is not hoppy with influencing and possessing and creates physical beings (the dead dad) to try to kill the family. It got schlocky at the end, which I liked. I think only one person died in this.
107.The Prowler☠☠˝Blu-Ray89 Min1981

108.A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master☠☠☠Blu-Ray93 Min1988
I like that Freddy comes back by having a dog named Jason piss fire on where he was buried. Freddy kills the three survivors from the first movie, and when Kristen dies, she passes her power to new girl Alice. Freddy uses her to bring new kids to him, but when they die, their skills are passed to Alice, and she uses them in the big showdown. I know #3 is the one most people like, but I prefer this one. Also has some really great effects.

A rock band comes to town and after one show the “youth” start misbehaving, after two shows they kill their parents. The main high school student Johnny, looks forty and is super dramatic. A John Stossel looking english teacher tries to stop the evil band. Most of the monster effects look like something from Land of Confusion, but there are 2 pretty good-looking ones mixed in there.

I see a lot of hate for this entry but I actually enjoyed it for whatever reason. It’s very light on the spooky and they amped up the humor. First segment is about 4 friends visiting a site where a band died in a fire. The band kills the 4, after they were disrespected by them. The dead band looked cool. Second is about a sorority pledge who has to spend the night in a coffin. A dead girl then drags her to the underworld. The pledge then visits her fate on the other sorority sisters. Third is a children’s game show like ‘Guts’ called Ozzie’s Dungeon, where if someone wins, they will get a wish. The kid playing badly breaks their leg and the family kidnap the host and torture him. The host promises he can take them to Ozzie and get their wish. Ozzie is a giant woman with a monster in her stomach that melts their faces... it was good up until that. Fourth is some friends spying on a hot neighbor. They use spyware to watch her on her webcam, and surprise! She’s a gorgon! Fifth is a coven of witches trying to summon a demon, but accidentally send the people filming to hell, and they have to fight their way back.The wrap around is stop motion with army mans.

A giant spider is found in a cave. The authorities think they’ve killed it but it’s only stunned and has a very mild rampage in town. It returns to the cave, where it corners two teens on a narrow ledge (they seemed to forget spiders can walk on walls), but the professor kills it with some electricity.

Monster men live under the golden gate bridge can hunt people at night. They can be killed by water, so maybe living in SF was a poor choice. Movie starts fast but slows down big time. Even the 3rd act at the battle of the bands, you’re just waiting for the Maniacs to slowly get there. Some of the Maniacs look cool, while others are kind of lazy, army guy, native American, caveman. If this movie picked a tone, I think it could have been a whole lot better.

Some friends find a girl, chained to a mattress. One wants to free her and another goes completely nuts. They discover that a bite will turn a person into another deadgirl. In the end, no moral.
145.Vamp☠☠˝VOD93 Min1986
Two friends go to a strip club to procure a dancer so that they can join a frat. Nice lighting. The movie kills the two best male leads, though one does come back. Really good first act and a solid climax.
146.Night of the Demon☠☠VOD96 Min1980
A teacher and some students head into the woods to investigate some bigfoot attacks. Bigfoot gives a biker a handy, then rakes the back of a guy who is having sex. I think bigfoot might be a pervert. Bigfoot then rapes a 15-year-old. So that settles that. There is also a cult in the woods that worship bigfoot, but nothing comes of it. The 15-year-old is now an adult and lives in the woods, she gave birth to a monster baby but her father killed it. They dig up the baby and that sends daddy into a rage, and that's it for the students.
147.Night of the Seagulls☠☠DVD89 Min1975
A doctor and his wife move to a new village. The village has a tradition of sacrificing 7 women to the knights, for 7 days, every 7 years. The doctor interferes and now the village will be destroyed by the knights. The villagers flee, and really, they should have done that long ago rather than send their women to die. The place was medieval, and still used candles for lighting. The doctor and wife smash the knight’s idol and that finally stops the blind dead. Not a lot of action in this one.

148.Color Out of Space☠☠☠˝VOD111 Min2019
Very beautiful looking movie and Cage was good. Theme night #27
149.Skinned DeepVOD97 Min2004
This wanted to poke fun at movies like TCM, but the problem is that it just wasn’t funny. A band of weirdos kill a family but keep the girl alive in hopes of her becoming one of them. There was a couple of good kills with the bikers, but most scenes just went on forever. Stinker of the challenge, so far.
150.The Hearse☠☠˝VOD99 Min1980
A woman moves into her dead aunt’s house for the summer. On the way there she gets into an accident with a hearse. All of the townsfolk hate her, and spooky things happen in the home. She learns that her aunt and her lover were Satan worshippers. The hearse starts showing up (probably trying to swap insurance info). A man named Tom plays the love interest and was her aunt’s lover, he is offering her eternal life. It was a pretty good mystery as to if it was the townsfolk messing with her, or something more sinister. Christopher McDonald’s second role.
151.Cellar Dweller☠☠☠Blu-Ray77 Min1987
A woman joins an art collective in hopes of finishing her idols comic book. But the magic book brings the monster back to kill everyone. It’s short and fun.
152.Funny Games☠☠☠˝VOD108 Min1997
Two men torture a family. I thought this was really good. The stuff with the 2 adults dumbly trying to figure out what to do for 20 minutes was fantastic.
153.Wacko☠☠˝VOD87 Min1982
13 years after her sister was killed by a pumpkin headed man with a power lawnmower, the killer returns. “Blank as a fart” was this a real phrase? I thought it was just something from Twin Peaks. Lots of bad bits but there were some funny gags in here. Andrew Dice Clay’s first role.

154.Trick 'r Treat☠☠☠˝Blu-Ray82 Min2007
A fun anthology that really gives that Halloween feeling. Theme night #28
155.The Unseen☠☠VOD94 Min1980
A reported and two of her friends go to a small town to cover a story. They end up staying at a creepy couple’s house. One of the friends is not so great, she really wants the reporter to get back together with her abusive ex-boyfriend. The creepy couple are brother and sister, and have a monster child (fully grown) that lives in the basement. The movie is quite slow and uneventful until we get to see the "kid”, it really picks up at that point. Sydney Lassick was a highlight as the crazy father, and true monster. The house that was used was the same one from Amityville 4: The Evil Escapes.
156.Saturday the 14thVOD75 Min1981
A family moves into a creepy house and accidentally release a bunch of monsters from a book. There are also two vampires that are trying to get the book. The twist is Van Helsing is bad and the vampires are good. The fishman grabbed a handful of boob during the finale. This was a very long 75 minutes.
157.Resident Evil: Extinction☠˝Blu-Ray94 Min2007
Set 3 years after part 2. The world has turned into a desert. Umbrella is cloning Alice in hopes of making a cure. Alice links up with some of the survivors from part 2, and the evil scientist (Sir Friendzone from GoT) attacks. He gets bit and turns into the big monster fight at the end. End of the movie Alice has her psi powers, and one close has survived. They then find a clone farm of Alice that they plan to wake up. Boring and didn't have any of the dumb action of the other movies in the franchise.
158.The ABCs of Death☠˝VOD129 Min2012
Really disappointed by this one. Lee Hardcastle’s claymation segment was the best one.
159.Men☠☠☠VOD100 Min2022
I thought this was pretty good.
160.Santo vs. the Zombies☠☠˝VOD80 Min1962
Starts with action in the ring, a tag team match. Santo’s team wins in a squash. There were to 2 refs! What the hell!? Then a title bout between Black Shadow and Santo, in a 2 out of 3 falls match. I haven’t seen many lucha movies but I always like the wrestling parts best. A masked man has created zombies to carry out crimes, like stealing jewelry, and children. These are super zombies, bullets can’t stop them, they can drive, and they beat the shit out of Santo. Yeah, it’s pretty obvious who the masked men are but there is a lot of action. Good cheesy fun.

Been meaning to watch this one for a long time. I really enjoyed this and wasn’t expecting the killer reveal. Theme night #29
162.Beneath Still Waters☠˝DVD100 Min2005
Starts with a boy's head getting ripped apart, and it’s all downhill from there. 40 years later, after a dam has been built to flood a town, that damn is now cracking and a black sludge is killing people. The dam was built to destroy a town that was corrupted by a black magician. The magician is stopped but the damn still breaks, so everyone dies anyway. Boring.
163.Hellraiser☠☠☠VOD121 Min2022
Pretty good. The mole in the group was pretty obvious.
164.Terror in the Aisles☠☠☠Blu-Ray84 Min1984
A fine look at some good movies.
165.Doom: Annihilation☠˝VOD96 Min2019
A group of marines land on Phobos just as the scientists there discover teleportation through alien gates. Not as cheap as I was expecting. The monsters and marine uniforms were bad though. I liked the reference to the Doom novels. Why is it so hard to make a Doom movie?
166.Wolf Guy☠☠˝VOD86 Min1975
A reporter/werewolf (he just gets strong and invincible) fights the mob. Miki, who has syphilis, is out to get revenge on the people who gave it to her, with her tiger grudge power. One of the mob has a distraction pocket mouse. The government captures them both in hopes of using their abilities. Funky soundtrack.

167.Open Water☠˝VOD80 Min2004
A couple get stranded while scuba diving, and the sharks get them. I found this to be pretty boring.
168.The Craft: Legacy☠˝VOD97 Min2020
New girl, Lilly, joins a coven. It’s kind of funny how they turned the douche into one of them. The former douche turns up dead. Lilly’s step dad has a sort of coven with some other men and his sons, it’s one of those primal male things, which is an interesting take. And that’s where the movie finally gets interesting, because we finally have conflict. The step dad killed the former douche and wants Lilly’s power, he says it’s for order. Super ham-fisted messaging. The real problem is that nothing happened, and the dad being evil was never setup. Lilly is Nancy's (from the original movie) daughter. Theme night #30
169.Creepshow 3☠☠DVD104 Min2006
First story is about a remote control that changes a family from white to black, and then Spanish. It turns the daughter into a melt-monster and then a rabbit. She’s a bad person, you see. Second is about a guy who buys a radio that is alive and talks to him. It leads him to a box full of money, which leads to him killing some people in his building and eventually his own murder. Third is a call girl who kills people but one of her intended victims is a monster. Fourth is a scientist who is getting married, and two of his former students kill the bride because they think she is a robot. Last one is about an asshole doctor who is haunted by a dead homeless guy that he didn’t save. It’s not bad but it’s not good.
170.Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City☠☠˝VOD107 Min2021
Lots of game references. It’s the best RE movie, faint praise, I know. They tried to make it spooky.

173.Slaughterhouse☠☠˝VOD85 Min1987
Always wanted to rent this because of the cover art. Movie starts off literally showing how the sausage is made. It’s set at an old slaughterhouse that’s being foreclosed on. The owner and his nephew decide to kill their enemies and some teens who want to party on their property. The nephew is the killer and he only makes pig noises. Very tongue-in-cheek, but it could have used more kills.
174.Never Hike Alone☠☠˝VOD54 Min2017
Looks better than a lot of low budget movies from The Asylum or the like. It’s actually shot really nicely, and the sound is good. I thought Jason was too passive and Tommy Jarvis should’ve been smarter. The ending was weak, but as a fan film it was pretty good.
175.All Hallows' Eve☠˝VOD83 Min2013
Some trick or treaters find a VHS in their candy. The babysitter watches it. Art The Clown kidnaps 3 woman and takes them underground where they are killed by monsters. Then a lady moves into a new house and a cheap alien attacks her. Then Art returns and attacks a woman he sees at a gas station. It’s neat to see where the ideas for Terrifier came from, but the movie was pretty dull. Theme night #31
176.The PreyVOD80 Min1983
35 years after a forest fire a badly burned man is killing people in the woods. Bad news for 6 campers. Lots of shots of nature as nothing happens in this movie. I take back calling all of the other movies dull or boring, this ones got them all beat, ay yiyi.
177.The Cabin in the Woods☠☠☠☠Blu-Ray95 Min2011
Still holds up, some of the bits are pretty bad and have that Whedon stink on them, but the movie is still funny.
178.American Gothic☠☠˝90 Min1987
6 friends get stranded on an island in the PNW. They find an old fashioned house with an older fashioned couple, who offer them shelter. The old couple have 3 really old kids, and they soon start killing, but to be fair most of victims were pretty rude. One of the kids has a baby mummy. The final girl goes insane and briefly joins the family, but she's triggered by the death of her daughter, who drowned in the bathtub, and goes even crazier and kills the family. Better than I thought this was going to be.
179.Dementia 13☠☠☠˝68 Min1963
A woman’s husband dies, so she throws him in a lake and covers up his death, in hopes of getting his mother to change her will. I did not expect her to get the literal axe halfway through. This was quite good.
180.Baxter☠☠☠☠83 Min1989
Baxter starts at an old woman’s house, but he wants to live with the young neighbors, so he knocks her down the stairs. The young couple have a baby, and Baxter is no longer happy. He tries to drown the baby but it doesn’t work. Meanwhile a young boy is becoming obsessed with Hitler, he even builds a bunker in a junkyard. The boy gets Baxter, and Baxter thinks he has found someone like him. But Baxter only kills for a reason, the boy is straight nuts and kills Baxter, then thinks about killing his parents, while watching the young couple Baxter used to belong to. The dog was really good natured, he got kicked and whipped and didn't go nuts. This was really good!
