#HorrorADayTillHalloween26 Day 33 - Manic (1934) The kind of densely stupid filmmaking that Ed Wood gets mistakenly accused of. Awful acting, story, editing, shot composition & none in a "fun" way. At one point they show a guy squeeze out a cat's eyeball & eat it. Fuck that. The best part...

#HorrorADayTillHalloween26 Day 32 - The Wailing (2016) I thought I'd seen this before, but maybe confused it with The Sadness. This is great! Slow pace, but smooth tone, so over two and a half hours went down pretty easy. Great kid actor.

#HorrorADayTillHalloween26 Day 31 - Human Experiments (1979) Sounds like a horrible thing until you hear this lady’s act. This film's kind of great? Not as simplistic as it seems except when it is. Light on experiments, actually, unless you count the prog band that plays the jailhouse cafeteria.

Later, Conrad. Shitty way to start October. I dare you to haunt Stryper.

#HorrorADayTillHalloween26 Day 30 - Horror Island (1941) Fuzzy Knight co-stars as Stuff Oliver in this Universal haunted house treasure hunt comedy. I like these fun little films that just hum right along without too many surprises, but plenty of skulls and shit.

#HorrorADayTillHalloween26 Day 29 - Raising Cain (Director’s Cut) 1992 De Palma reminding us he liked the quiet parts of Psycho as well. Always a pleasure to see John Lithgow, although he’d be a great deal more imposing if he didn’t use his Dr. Lizardo voice. A fun bit with Chekhov’s Sundial.

#HorrorADayTillHalloween26 Day 28 - The Fury (1978) My whole life i’ve been trying to finish this thing without falling asleep, which was kinda worth it as the last 20 seconds are completely hilarious (and are shown from THIRTEEN ANGLES), especially if you are a Night Person such as myself.

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

#HorrorADayTillHalloween26 Day 27 Bonus - Penny Lane Is Dead (2025) This is pretty good, but man is it triggering. Annoying and unreasonable people being annoying and unreasonable. Whenever i think someone is over the top, i remember high school and think “this tracks” (‘cept no one said “sick”).

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

#HorrorADayTillHalloween26 Day 27 - Sisters (1972) Hadn’t seen since i was a kid. Man, this might have more Rear Window than Body Double. Charles Durning with the MVP. Bernard Herrmann score destroys (as usual).

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

#HorrorADayTillHalloween26 Day 26 Bonus Bonus - Alien: Resurrection (1997) One of my kids that loves Ripley hadn’t seen this one yet. Jean-Pierre Jeunet usually rules so hard, but this just doesn’t work. The whole palette is off. Yet, just like in Escape From L.A., the basketball scene rules.

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

#HorrorADayTillHalloween26 Day 26 Bonus - It Ends (2025) Some friends drive on a road. I can see watching this being torture, but i liked it and enjoyed the theoreticals. Not to much to say. The acting isn’t really bad.

030

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Don’t tell anyone, but “satanists” might live here…

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

#HorrorADayTillHalloween26 Day 26 - They Will Kill You (2026) They Will Bore You. This movie wants to be Kill Bill so bad that it even has a foot scene. The plot and action is so goofy, telegraphed… and… drawn… out, yet it’s clear that Zazie coulda nailed this if done correctly.

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

#HorrorADayTillHalloween26 Day 25 - We Bury The Dead (2026) New ground in zombie stuff. Enjoyed it & glad i watched it, but not much rewatch-ability. Pretty locations, tho. Don’t know why they made the British woman american since it takes place in Australia, but she was good. Plus, Can points.

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I didn’t skip a day. I just forgot to press send on this one before i fell asleep.

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

#HorrorADayTillHalloween26 Day 23 - The Man Made Monster (1941) A tesla coil extravaganza! People give Lon Chaney Jr shit for not being his dad, but i consider him the Gary Cooper of horror, always playing likeable but haunted dudes (which he was).

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Has there been a YSP joke yet?

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

#HorrorADayTillHalloween26 Day 23 - Censor (2021) Conflate the look of this film with the plot of se1 of Channel Zero, you’d have a certain critical hot potato. Wanted to like this, as it has a few Nathan Barley alum, but it’s well undercooked and overemphasized. Still, it ain’t hurtin’ nobody.

031

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

I feel like it’s been 1995 for over 30 years.

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

If there was a channel of firefighters smashing the windows of assholes who park next to the hydrant i might never watch anything else.

"So shines a good deed in a weary world” Possibly too jingoistic of me to think so, but worth a statement, if only to confront the personal introspection.

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

#HorrorADayTillHalloween26 Day 22 - House IV: The Repossession (1992) The kind of piece of shit i was afraid III would be. Katt came back for a direct sequel to House (1985) except it isn’t. They swiveled back and went cutesy lame comedy, yet still found time to be weirdly culturally insensitive.

020

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Lance Henriksen and Brion James are so unhinged that the appearance of Lawrence Tierney is barely acknowledged. Possible career high in batshit for both. Also has the nerd from Riptide doing his best Jeffrey Combs and Gleaming Spires doing a typically sub-Sparks number.

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

#HorrorADayTillHalloween26 Day 21 - House III: The Horror Show (1989) (uncut) Saw the first 2 a million times but heard this was House “in name only” and while it is true that it has nothing to do with a house, it IS bonkers. I was surprised to enjoy it so much…

120

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

some showgirls walk into a barn where a bunch of other women are chained up & are immediate like “well, i guess we’re prisoners now” and we wait for their manager to find them via random diner scenes even though there are plenty of weapons and opportunities to escape you are like “a man wrote this”.

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

#HorrorADayTillHalloween26 Day 20 - Terror Circus (1974) aka Barn Of The Naked Dead This destroys my “all circus themed horror movies are good” theory. Starts off with a well directed gas station scene and a cool 70’s palette, but drops right off with no real story or anything as…

131

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

I can never remember unless im actually doing it. I know part of it is “heart on ice, removed”

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

#HorrorADayTillHalloween26 Day 19 Bonus - Psycho II (1983) It looks terrible on paper, but this one’s good too, although in a totally different way. More like a really great made-for-tv movie. Perkins was so cool, man.

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

#HorrorADayTillHalloween26 Day 19 - Psycho (1960) Even though the main beats of this film have been hammered down the public’s gullet for so long, it’s the stuff in between that makes it really special.

There’s a fucking drop in every fucking trailer and every fucking one of them is fight or flight trigger for me.

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

That’s an idea. Mike did the art on a forthcoming as-yet-unannounced thing you guys will hopefully take to.

#HorrorADayTillHalloween26 Day 18 - Resident Evil (2026) 1st film i’ve seen in a theater since my condition started and it required 30 db earplugs with fingers smashing them into my ears some of the time, but it was great. Not sure if there was still a video game curse, but it sure would break it.

080

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Bbtone is played on bass and baritone guitars. Don’t remember loro’s

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Im hoping ear plugs do the trick here, otherwise its gonna be a real short trip.

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

#HorrorADayTillHalloween26 Day 17 - The Ghoul (1933) I was excited to see Karloff and Ernest Thesiger get down with it, but they weren’t given very much to do. Plenty of atmosphere, but that’s it. It’s still two years til they get to fuck shit up in Bride with Thesiger being Whale’s avatar.

040

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

except there is a scene where they show a woman sewing giant bags of cocaine into a real cow. There are three of these.

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

#HorrorADayTillHalloween26 Day 16 - Robo Vampire (1988) A Chinese Hopping Vampire wearing a gorilla mask wants to marry the ghost of his dead fiancée and also there is a football pads Robocop guy and other than that i dunno what the fuck is going on…

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

#HorrorADayTillHalloween26 Day 15 - The End Of Oak Street (2026) I didn’t even know this was a horror movie when i popped it on as something vapid to watch while i worked on my library, but there’s some brutal kills in this dumb piece of shit and now im too tired to watch anything else.

160

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

That’s always more than cool. About to make my own Crucifucks shirt.

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

#HorrorADayTillHalloween26 Day 14 Bonus - Ravenous (2017) I liked this one a lot. Somber Québécois zombie film with tone over action. I appreciate these characters and i feel this film breathes some life into what can be a stale genre.

070

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

#HorrorADayTillHalloween26 Day 14 - Ravenous (1999) Jeffery Jones is too much of a distraction to enjoy this for me. Eesh. Kinda student-filmy, like it’s not color timed or something and the music is annoying pseudo-modern composer. Oh, it’s Nyman. Check. Sorry, i’m probably nitpicking.

050

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Also, the dude from Adam-12. Just when you think the bland movie is over, it starts getting really good. DX7 abuse.

020

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

#HorrorADayTillHalloween26 Day 13 - Return Of The Living Dead III (1993) Thought i’d seen this, but conflated it with II. Didn’t know Brian Yuzna did one of these, but makes sense as the story is Re-Animator meets trad-zombie with a dash of Society.

140

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Pathmark Guy and Not Woody Harrelson return as different characters that constantly refer to their old characters and it is never funny. Needs Dan O’Bannon! They even seemed to use zombies from Lifeforce (which he wrote the screenplay for).

020

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

#HorrorADayTillHalloween26 Day 12 BONUS - Return Of The Living Dead II (1988) Hadn’t seen since it came out and all i could remember was Anthrax was in it for a second. This was the version with (thankfully) less DX7.

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

#HorrorADayTillHalloween26 Day 12 - Creep 2 (2017) I love art that is just pure ingenuity over budget. Great in a different way than the first.

010

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Made the mistake of looking forward to this Halloween game. Awful Loomis voice. Ps3 quality character animation. Glitchfest.

Rob Crow @robcrow.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

The narrator’s haircut is the scariest thing in the film (and his tone is worse).
