Day 9 31 Days of Horror Movies “Not So Imaginary Friends” with Other Mommy. A perfectly fine entertaining horror movie, about what I expect generally from Blumhouse. Movie def felt a little chopped like there were holes but otherwise nothing egregious and loved that it wasted zero time kicking off

Day 8 31 Days of Horror Movies “Sam Neil” with Possession. Loved it so much, was unaware it was a Cold War spy movie as well as a paranoid divorce demon possession movie! Just layers upon layers of betrayal, loyalties, paranoia, secrets and fear

Day 7 31 days of horror movies “bloody bride” The Blood Splattered Bride Spanish film from 1972 based on Carmilla so a lesbian vampire film with heavy Giallo vibes & gorgeous cinematography but also more than cheep exploitation it had legit opinions on gender, patriarchy, fascism, and sex. Loved it

Day 6 31 Days of Horror Movies “PG-13” (out of order for reasons) Five Nights At Freddy’s, decided to keep with the theme and watching something teenager-ish. The movie had some good parts, but woof way too much focus on a dull protagonist’s backstory and not enough animatronic mayhem or scares

This movie absolutely fucking slaps hard, if you have a chance to see it do so. Especially if you like any form of Warhammer 40K. And even if like me you knew nothing about the comics. It’s just terrific animation, action, very British humor, and has heart

Those are prob the ones I consider good, but I’m not much of a King fan in movie or book form. Like Pet Cemetery is one of the few I like for exactly that reason and the fantastic performances in it

Day 5 31 Days of Horror “Feline Fright” with Sleepwalkers, haven’t seen this since it came out at the $2 theater and it’s just as bad now, but it has its charms like the line “cop kebab”. Plus who doesn’t have a crush on Mädchen Amick thanks to Twin Peaks?

Oh and the director Tony Maylam would go on to make the fantastic Split Second a decade later. So I guess that’s a positive

That said, Tom Savini's effects and make up are great as always and result in some spectacular garden sheers murder. And it has some decent slasher suspense sequences. Otherwise completely skippable in the Slasher Camp Canon

Day 4 31 Days of Horror Movies “A Listers Early Role” The Burning that was the debut of Jason Alexander, Holly Hunter and Fisher Stevens! But as I learned also the first movie produced by convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein & written by Bob Weinstein… so the gross/creepy 80’s sex stuff ages even worse

Day 3 of 31 Days of Horror movies and already off list, watched Under the Shadow. And absolutely fantastic Iranian Horror movie that takes place during the Iraq/Iran war when an unexploded missile hits their apartment building and then are haunted by djinn.

That matches my thoughts on it, some neat ideas with some glacial pacing and some very rough bits, like still feels like a short expanded to feature length. The bones of a fantastic movie are there so bet their next movie rips

Day 2 31 Days of Horror Movies “Bad Remake” Amityville Horror (2005), and yeah that was most definitely bad. But maybe that makes it a good remake as the original was also terrible. Anyway, this was an incoherent mess with zero tension and a very miscast Ryan Reynolds

Yeah, solid. I was very entertained! It had a fantastic sense of kinetic action that was truly special though, and that bathroom wall/ceiling camera spin was one of my favorite horror bits period.

It def leans more into the gore than comedy 3 Stooges of the original but it’s a solid horror movie

I dug how the US version’s flavor of loneliness felt more a result of being ostracized more than being an odd budding serial killer, even though they share the exact same beats. I originally dismissed this movie as not needing to exist and was glad to be proven wrong

October means 31 Days of Horror movies yet again. Will be vaguely following these prompts as I like the structure of it. First up for Rad Remake - Let Me In. Loved it, it’s exactly what a remake should be! By setting it in 80’s US it feels completely different and its own thing

It’s a hard impulse to fight! Now maybe I’m weird but AW specifically helped me fight that urge (I don’t always win though). So it’s always fascinating to see people fall into that trap more so with PbtA games

Erika Ishii's inclusion is not a "controversial announcement". This is elevating weird gamergaters' boring whining as deserving of attention. There's no "sides" to this, there's no "issue": It's a talented performer who's done nothing wrong being hated for who they are.

While also being a solid entertaining horror movie all on its own! Would have been all too easy to lose sight of that pursuing the game feel. Excited to see whatever movie he does next

The worst part of Bonta caving on the Paramount merger is that it's a big flashing signal to every other company that there is no antitrust enforcement in America and you can bully your way into getting whatever you want. It's a monumentally bad decision.

I got super excited when Cregger was talking about how he was less concerned with making a movie with RE characters/storylines and instead a movie that feels like playing RE! I was like finally someone who gets it and he just crushed it

My favorite Sam Neil fact will always be that he designed a future Australian flag that replaces the union jack with the aboriginal flag for Event Horizon and insisted the film use it.
