Aristoph @aristoph.bsky.social · 10/10/2026#HalloweenMovie #3, Ready or Not: Here I Come. A stacked cast from the 90s and early 00s.

Aristoph @aristoph.bsky.social · 05/10/2026#HalloweenMovie #2, Event Horizon. Miss you, Sam Neill. I remember this for scenes that stay with you like the air vents that aren’t gory, but the IMDB trivia is like “oh it was supposed to be way more effed-up but they cut some of it because test audiences barfed.” 020
