It's Steve Miner time for #Hooptober and also inching toward the nine required decades. At least it's better than Day of the Dead 2: Contagium so far, which ironically came out three years earlier.

It's the worst time of the year... the #Hooptober prompt to watch the worst rated film you can get your hands on. I was halfway through the Screen Drafts episode about best werewolf movies when I started this, and I doubt it's going to pop up in the second half.

It's 70s week for #ZombieSteve52, and I have a 70s movie to watch for #Hooptober. Everything's coming up Milhouse. It's also my Hooptober film for "1 film with 'devil' in the title". Added bonus, it's got Christopher Lee.

Like many #Hooptober participants I'm letting the two Bela Lugosi films also cover two of my nine decades. I'm also returning to the realm of films based, often loosely, on the works of Poe after doing a good chunk of the Corman/Poe Cycle last year.

It's Fall week for #ZombieSteve52 and I'm hoping an anthology full of Halloween stories will qualify, but this franchise has let me down before. Worse comes to worse, it's still one of my five sequels and nine decades for #Hooptober.

It's school/college week for #ZombieSteve52 and much like school/college I forgot this was due and am squeezing it in just under the deadline. I had Tesis on my Hooptober list and debated it, but it's been a long day and a two hour French film didn't feel as easy on the head as Buster Keaton.

Ok, now I'm officially kicking off my #Hooptober season with a movie that's been on my radar for a while, but was very tough to find until recently. Now that I'm part way into it, I'm regretting the choice. Really not my style.

#Hooptober 13 begins today, so I'm crossing off the only rewatch on my list. (plus it's my trivia night, so I don't know if I can squeeze in a feature film later)

It's Eric Roberts week for #ZombieSteve52. I've seen half of Christopher Eccleston's first episode when it first aired and a minute or two of some older ones back when Samsung TV had a Doctor Who Channel, so I'm going into the more familiar with the works of Eric Roberts than anything else.

It's "A Movie Everybody but you has seen" week for #ZombieSteve52 and while I did have a few movies with with a lot more viewers, this was a $0.99 rental, is already in the 2 Million Watched Club, and is probably the biggest movie of 2026 I haven't already seen.

It's Animation week for #ZombieSteve52 and I just grabbed this to continue through the work of Makoto Ueda. Coincidence, or future time travelling me setting off a chain of events that need to happen in order for the future to occur... That makes sense if you know Makoto Ueda.

Went to The End Of Oak Street which gave me the urge to rewatch Jurassic Park which was playing downtown 20 minutes later as part of a Sam Neill tribute. After that I rounded it out with a couple more I own for a “people point guns at dinosaurs” mini marathon.

Off to see a movie I love so much that I wandered unfamiliar city streets at night just to get a picture of the cinema while I was in Toronto. Playing locally as a Sam Neill tribute. Sadly not seeing it at the Eglinton.

It's Based On A Novel week for #ZombieSteve52 and I stuck around for a screening of this after Miasma last night. More episodic that the trailer makes it look plus I was exhausted, so I didn't love it. Didn't hate it either. It was a little long to start at 9:30 though. When I left it was today.

It's Gangster/Mobster week for #ZombieSteve52, and I was almost done of City On Fire last night when I realized I meant to watch Better Tomorrow. As such, I'm switching from Triad to Yakuza. That said, Reservoir Dogs was in the examples, so I guess City On Fire counts through transitive property.
