#2: Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween Kids cleaning up an abandoned house get Slappy unhappy. A decent sequel to the surprisingly fun original, featuring pretty much the same story. The effects are solid, the quips funny, the pace is fast, and the monsters creative… would make a good Sunday matinee.

#1: "Frozen Scream" (RiffTrax) Something about cryogenics creating zombies or something? I have no clue what was happening in this mid-70’s chiller (pun fully intended). IMDB's description, “Mad scientists turn people into frozen zombies and the zombies wreak havoc and kill people.” OK, sure.

Got my Kickstarter-backed Edward Gorey figures! Dracula, which came in a coffin-shaped box with Gorey illustrations from the his Broadway revival and Gorey himself, which came with a tiny Figbash book, a Gorey cat and a Gorey skull. I am delighted... in morose ways than one.

Movie #8: Final Destination: Bloodlines Slightly better than the rest. Some actual character development and dialog that felt more natural. The highlight: Tony Todd explained why the hell his character was always so nonchalant about all the Death doings and he got to say farewell to his fans.

Movie #7: “Final Destination 5” Stupid blah stupid bridge blah blah blah. Five fuckin’ movies in and I haven’t cared about one single character. They’re all so willfully bland (or I instantly hate them and want them to die).

6: Final Destination 4 Stupid Death at Stupid NASCAR. Here's how absolutely interchangeable all the characters are; the titles are X-ray skeleton versions of previous character deaths in the first three movies. Not the characters themselves, their skeletons.
