I remember catching the ending on TV as a kid. Couldn’t wait till I could rent it and see the whole thing. Fun horror action though pretty dependent on not being able to find a working phone as I recall.

Batgirl and my oldest brother’s girlfriend are definitely the origins for my love of redheads.

Have not seen this in a long time. Might be due for an October rewatch. #HorrorSky #FilmSky

KILL BABY, KILL was another recent first time watch for me. I liked how David Lynch talked about lifting the chase sequence for TWIN PEAKS and you can see its influence throughout. Loved MR. SARDONICUS, too! #HorrorSky #FilmSky

Saw it for the first time earlier this year and it checks just about every box on my trash film wish list: sorta slasher / sorta siege, New Line production, Jack Sholder at the helm, great cast, new wave / punk appearance, gore, and more. 🎥🖤 #HorrorSky #FilmSky

The soundtrack was in heavy rotation on my college radio show in the 80s. Also, I highly recommend the Redd Kross documentary.

I don't love the EG Marshall segment but it's still a super fun anthology. What are some of your favorite horror anthology flicks? #HorrorSky #FilmSky

This weekend is parents weekend at my daughter's school. My wife and I were planning to go up, take her to dinner, and spend the night before heading home after the football game. She asked if it would be okay if she took the train home and we went to see a noir triple feature at AFI instead. 🥲

Age yourself with a childhood crush. Well, I don't have the naked Polaroids I found of my next door neighbor anymore, so I'll go with...

Watched this (or at least tried to) at a drive-in during a pounding rain storm.

I think I'm more interested in FINAL DESTINATION 7, FLOOD, and THEM!

Just started rewatching this the other night but our internet crapped out. Need to get back to it once it's fixed.

Loved them together in HORROR EXPRESS. Cushing had just lost his wife but gamely soldiered on with his best friend Lee at his side.

Remember watching this on Creature Double Feature at the house of a girl I had a crush on. I would stop by her house on Saturday afternoon while collecting for my newspaper route. It was the first time that it dawned on me that girls liked guys who could make them laugh. #HorrorSky #FilmSky

I said I liked it. I didn't say it was good. Post yours! TURBULENCE 3: HEAVY METAL (2001).

I'm a sucker for the whole HELLRAISER series. Heck, I recently watched (and enjoyed) the one they had to make to hang on to the rights.

HELLINGER (1997): Cut-rate HELLRAISER with Pseudo Pinhead played by the illegitimate love child of Wallace Shawn and Sam Kinison. Bonkers trash I'd rate higher it not for an unnecessarily violent murder sequence and too many talky scenes that seem to go on forever. Needs more Hellinger! 🎥 #HorrorSky

Thanks to living in an older development with telephone poles our neighborhood got cable in the late 70s. MOTEL HELL and FUNHOUSE are two of the first flicks I recall seeking out for repeat viewings once they hit our local movie channel. #HorrorSky

Love that period of Fulci. Saw it on the big screen as GATES OF HELL. Always thought that one played like a greatest hits reel. A bit incoherent but some great price of admission scenes.

Nice! We have silicone skull molds and I used them to freeze leftover tomato paste. My wife was making chili and she said “gimme three skulls”. 😍

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.

Just watched this for the first time a few months ago. Very fun and I LOVED the art deco production design. Would love to see it on the big screen.

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

Great covers! My gateway inyo horror was ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN. Once my mom saw I loved that she introduced me to the Universal flicks. Such great memories!

Shortly after I wrote this our washing machine flooded our laundry room, so I may be making a major purchase after all. 🤪

My fave Fulci! Actually saw it in the theater as SEVEN DOORS OF DEATH (kinda still love that cut).

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).
