Legit banger and one of the few flicks I still own on DVD/Blu-ray. Saw it twice on opening night at the Budco Millside. Countless viewings since.

I remember my buddy and I walking up the street to the local theater and seeing a double bill of CHILDREN OF THE CORN (which he referred to as CORN DIGGERS) and CLASS OF 1984. Ahh, the good old days. #MovieSky

Horror Mode Engage! Loved the Redd Kross documentary as much as I love Redd Kross. RESIDENT EVIL is super fun and never lets its foot off the gas. Wanted to love THE YETI (period cryptozoology?!) but didn't. HALLOWEEN 4 is dumb as shit but moves fast. #HorrorSky #FilmSky #LastFourWatched #Letterboxd
Movie posters for Born Innocent (4 stars), Resident Evil (3.5 stars), The Yeti (2.5 stars), and Halloween 4 (3 stars).

My all-time favorite film. Even Jeffrey Combs was taken aback when I told him I thought it was “the greatest movie ever made.” #HorrorSky #FilmSky

This was my gateway horror flick. Once I enjoyed this (it’s still my fave horror comedy), my mom introduced me to the Universal Monster flicks (I believe GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN was first) which led to Hammer which led to everything I discovered via cable and VHS in the 80s. #FilmSky #HorrorSky

My movie fandom began the day my older brothers took me to a double feature of this film and THE STING. I was probably 8 or 9 and they were the first “grown up” movies I saw in the theater. I was hooked and there was no going back. 🖤🎬 #MovieSky #FilmSky

I loves me some trash. LET ME IN was highlighted by a guy pouring acid on his face and jumping out window. Chubby Pinhead aside I liked the HELLRAISER flick. TOP LINE is nutso Eurotrash. We should have a dozen SHANGHAI JOE movies. #LastFourWatched #Letterboxd #MovieSky #FilmSky #HorrorSky 🎥 🖤🎬 💿

POPPERS is THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME MEETS CRUISING while HOUSE OF THE DEVIL is 70 min of nothing happening followed by 20 min of stuff. PEOPLE WHO OWN THE DARK is an oddball Spanish thriller (Naschy!) and KNIGHTFALL PART 1 is a return to form for DC animation. #LastFourWatched #FilmSky #Letterboxd
Movie posters for Poppers (4 stars), House of the Devil (2 stars), The People Who Own the Dark (3.5 stars), and Batman: Knightfall Part 1 (3.5 stars).

At my job during summer after freshman year in college, the forklift drivers at the book warehouse: a) tried to “jokingly” run us down; b) showed us where they had created sleeping nooks; c) went and got drunk at lunch; and, d) let us have their allotment of discount books.

Trey Parker & Matt Stone announce that ‘SOUTH PARK’ will be renamed to ‘SOUTH AMERICA’. “Inspired by the bravery & patriotism of Apple & Google, we are changing the name of South Park to SOUTH AMERICA. We especially want to thank our parent company Paramount — a Skydance Capitulation.”

HUNCHBACK OF THE MORGUE is a big favorite of mine. NIGHT OF THE HOWLING BEAST, THE CRAVING, PEOPLE WHO OWN THE DARK (now on Shudder) and so many more. Happy Birthday, Senor Naschy!

Writer/Director Jim Wynorski’s cult sci-horror pic ‘Chopping Mall’ (aka ‘Killbots’) starring Kelli Maroney, Barbara Crampton, John Terlesky, Suzee Slater, Gerrit Graham, and Dick Miller zapped moviegoers in Pittsburgh on this day 40 years ago (September 5, 1986) 🤖 😵 🔥 #OTD

Good week with lots of variety. SING STREET gets me in the feels every time and COYOTE VS. ACME had me surprisingly misty. ANACONDA 3: OFFSPRING was everything it needed to be (and maybe a bit more) and I'm a sucker for an amnesia thriller like THE SECRET WOMAN. #LastFourWatched #FilmSky #Letterboxd

Saw it yesterday and really enjoyed it. It’s a lot deeper than you’d expect and seeing all those great Looney Tunes characters up on the big screen brought me back to chilling in front of the tv after school and Saturday mornings after delivering newspapers in my neighborhood. #BeepBeep
