Lizards are slightly less common in horror unless you wanna go the dinosaur route, so why not fire up this cinematic atrocity - KOMODO - for the halfway point of #hqhalloween?

So finish that impromptu tooth extraction and destroy that chirping smoke alarm because we're going all in on this supremely disturbing film (though #WilliamFriedkin considers it a black comedy!). You'll hear us say it in the episode, but this is a great fucking movie.

Your #HQHalloween day 9 prompt is tableau so any extravagant murder presentation applies. Judging from the download numbers, not a TON of people checked out the very campy Vincent Price film THEATER OF BLOOD, so you should rectify that

The #Carrie TV series is out today so telekinetic girls are all the rage. If you want to revisit the concept in a slightly compromised way, we're still big advocates of Katt Shea's long-in-development sequel, THE RAGE: CARRIE 2

This wannabe Noir/Erotic Thriller was written by female screenwriter Sarah Thorp, and is weirdly judgey and misogynistic when it comes to sex and sexuality.

Day six of #hqhalloween is Train. There are several obvious picks, including TERROR TRAIN, but @tracedthurman.bsky.social has a bit of a soft spot for the two Tubi remakes, which aren’t great, but ARE fun.
