Seconds (1966) Continuing my journey through the Letterboxd Top 250 Horror movies I've never heard of before. It's another kind of surreal movie that maybe ain't should be on the Horror list, but this one at least has the Good grace of having an upsetting ending

The Driller Killer (1979) It really felt like they recorded a bunch of different kills, to sprinkle throughout the movie, but something got fucked up somewhere, and they just all got used in one mad rampage in the middle of the film

The Hourglass Sanatorium (1973) For a bit of structure this year, I've been watching things in the Letterboxd Top Horror movies official list (that I've not seen). A lot of absolute classics that I missed and some freak picks. And then there's things like this... What The Fuck Did I Just Watch...?

The Changeling (1980) Wasn't really vibing with it, until about an hour in, a woman calls the ghost "Gnome-like." That alone was enough to keep me entertained, as I was now imagining George C. Scott hunting a gnome, but it's also when the movie really kicks it into gear and some wild shit happens

Eyes Without a Face (1960) The way I've had this recommended to me in the past, I had assumed I'd be kept in the dark for a while on what's happening. Instead, right from off the rip, I'm told "Here's the Doctor who invented the Face technology from Face/Off" before I've even seen Jane Noface. 👍👍

The Phantom Carriage (1921) Watched a version that had the KTL score, which takes what I think was meant to be more a morality play and turns it into a deeply upsetting horror movie. Got me really believing they were going to end the movie on such a bleak note, David being powerless to stop it 👍👍

Deep Red (1975) You, it just turned into Final Destination near the end. Death's Plan was "Fuck this [culprit] in particular for no real reason" As always, the Goblin sound track is peak. Best part of any more they're involved in

AEW All Out 2026 Loved the 3 Women's matches and the Trios Title kerfuffle Actually missed the whole Match where Sting Jr. almost died, came back to Taz saying how serious it was Other singles matches were pretty good, too. But I sort of lost interest on the Ladder match and Main event

000

The Fantastic Paul @theactualdevil.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Let's go KAIKIGUMI (2026) Yeah, that was a good time. Great final episode. The low point was definitely that Loin Cloth Pervert in the first episode, but the humor gets much better after that. Hopefully someone finally starts translating the manga, I'd like to see more of this.

Backrooms (2026) Dude, it's like if Cube 2: Hypercube was a good movie. Do you think Kane Parsons has seen the Cube Trilogy?

The History of Concrete (2026) If you see only one documentary where a strange man interviews people, probably go with the Nathan Fielder one. More to chew on, probably. But if you see two of those this year, well this is your only choice. But God Damn it was a good choice to be forced to make 5⭐️

Chainsmoker Cat (2026) Anime of the Century. This is why humanity invented animation. I now know what the first thing I'm going to show the aliens when they try to take me in the night. A religious experience. Hell yeah, let's do it. Kansai Neko is my favorite. She's perfect.

Resident Evil (2026) Zach Cregger sure does know how to put a person in a situation, and then just cranking up the dial on The Machine Probably the weakest of his horror movies, but I do appreciate that he knows we all know what a Resident Evil is, and gets straight into it. So fucked up

Daemons of the Shadow Realm (season 1) They don't make shows with this kind of pacing anymore. Nobody else is making Battle Series where the characters will just have conversations for a whole episode. Thank goodness this was 24 episodes, because when the fights are happening, they sick as hell

Things I was frightened of as a child: 1. The Dark 2. Heights 3. Ghosts 4. That one episode of Pete and Pete where Endless Mike murders several students and then removes his own internal organs, just to wrestle Big Pete. Especially the scene with the bathroom hand dryer

Screenshots of an episode of Pete and Pete, showing a mysterious arm turn on a air powered hand drier on the wall, and then it sucks in a high schooler in wrestling gear. The final image is the kid's hands uselessly flailing as the rest of him has already been consumed by the machine.

MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM HATHAWAY The Sorcery of Nymph Circe (2026) We need to stop subjecting other countries to American movies. They're starting to learn bad things from us. How the fuck do you make an animated movie with terrible lighting? But that Needle Drop, tho. Truly majestic!

And here's an updated tier list of Kamen Rider Series ranked by how much I enjoyed them:

Favorite: Kamen Rider Drive
S-Tier: Ex-Aid, W, Zeztz, Blade (Blade is the platonic ideal of what a good Kamen Rider Series should be, and anything higher than it is just my personal preference)
A-Tier: Kabuto, Ryuki, 555, Den-O (A Tier is still really good, I also love all of these)
B-Tier: Gaim, Build (B Tier is still really good, both of these I ended up taking a really big break in the middle of watching it, and that might've colored my enjoyment, or maybe it's because I wasn't into them enough, that they ended up here)
?-Tier: Reserved for I don't know what. I'm not sure if anything will ever go here, but just in case
Ghost-Tier: Kamen Rider Ghost. (Man, I really didn't vibe with Ghost. How many times can you replace a Villain who has Nebulous Goals you can't understand, with a different Villain who has Nebulous Goals you can't understand, just as you've finally been allowed to know what the last villain's goals were?)

The Fantastic Paul @theactualdevil.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Kamen Rider Zeztz First time watching a Kamen Rider as it came out (and first Reiwa Rider) Really enjoyed this. Loved the music. The Other Riders are great. Sure, the belt gimmicks great dropped so fast, but there's great fights throughout. I really dug the Mid-Season Twist.
