I'll be curious to come back to this movie in a few years and see how well it holds up after the emotions have died down. Because right now the emotions are WAY the hell up. I loved it, and I don't think it was JUST because of the nostalgia, but honestly, the nostalgia was strong enough to make...

Yeah, after a month straight of just horror movies, I'm ready to throw on some westerns. Maybe that could be a thread too, we'll talk about how close the two True Grit movies are to the novel, and show off our Josey Wales memorabilia.

It's funny how with the "little creature" horror movies, it's details from the sequels that seem to stick in peoples' memories. Goofy Ghoulies, the giant Critter ball, mutated Gremlins, etc.

That werewolf in Bad Moon looks amazing. I couldn't believe I'd never heard of that movie until a couple years ago. I've still got to get around to checking out Demons 2, but you need to be in the right mood for an Italian horror movie. (Basically, ready to rewind a lot and go, "What the hell...

Just watching the video now; that animation of "then to now" toys really does Arcee and Bulkhead no favors. I feel bad for the people who were looking forward to adding these to their Prime collection. But personally, as someone who's happy to consider that collection complete, I have to admit...

Holy crap. That brings back some really vague memories from childhood. I wasn't very much into music, and I was too young for horror movies, but I knew Freddy and the Fresh Prince from schoolyard chatter, so I definitely would've heard this song at some point.

Gave Cursed a shot. It had its moments, but the story of its near-total reshoot was a lot more interesting. I probably would've started forgetting this movie immediately otherwise, but now I keep thinking, "Oh, THAT'S why that part didn't make sense! And THAT'S why the second-to-last action...

There's possibly an argument to be made that American Werewolf in London has surpassed Wolfman as "The" werewolf story, if only because it's beloved equally by both the fans of the classics and the folks who wouldn't watch a B/W movie. Tossing out some other good-to-great ones that haven't been...

How is that? I saw the listing on HBO Max, and was surprised I'd never heard of it before. Found some seasonally-appropriate toys at Target. Almost makes up for them barely having any decorations available.

Just watched this, great ending.

Day 14. Halloween Kills (2021) If you liked the 2018 movie, you're gonna like this one. I am very glad I decided to rewatch the 2018 one right before this; not that there's any danger of losing the "plot" if you don't, but since this one picks up literally minutes later, there are a lot of...

Secret of NIMH for me. Not even anything in particular, the movie's whole general vibe always used to put me on edge.

Day 11. Braindead / Dead Alive (1992) This is a horror-comedy by Peter Jackson, and damned if it isn't the bloodiest, goriest thing I've ever ever seen. Evil Dead-level gore with Shaun of the Dead sensibilities (though a lot more blunt than Shaun's fantastic subtle humor). And with the budget...

Day 10. Deadly Friend (1986) I never heard of this movie till recently, although I've certainly seen the basketball head explosion out of context a few times. A kid with the worst luck in the world loses both his robot best friend (yeah, he built a robot, the movie just expects you to roll...

Day 9. The Plague of the Zombies (1966) This is one I've been meaning to get to for quite a while. It's from Hammer, and must have been one of the last movies to feature the classic voodoo-type zombies before Romero's undead flesh-eaters came along. Although, funnily enough, this movie DID...

All the Dracula talk put me in the mood, so I checked out one adaptation I've never seen before and one I haven't seen in a while. Day 7. Dracula (Spanish version) (1931) Day 8. Count Dracula (1977) For anyone who doesn't know, the Spanish version of Dracula was filmed on the same sets...

The whole Dracula/Mina relationship...him trying to romance her because she's the spitting image of his dead wife...is not from the book. The Demeter is the ship that brings Dracula to London. And the mother of the snack baby was killed...I actually don't remember if it was by wolves, or Drac's...

Day 6. Jason X (2001) I got into the Jason series very much after the fact; I saw most of the series for the first time just last year. Jason X was actually the first full one I ever saw. I wouldn't say I have a soft spot for it...it's not a very good movie...but I have enough distance that I...

The one I feel the most bad for is the Mummy. The "reincarnated lover" thing was his entire shtick! Then Dracula comes in and steals it.

I've been watching mainly old favorites so far this month, but tonight I watched a movie that I'd been meaning to get around to for years. 5. Wishmaster (1997) And it wasn't bad; solid B-movie territory. The Djinn is an interesting monster with a unique spin on an old gimmick. It's the...
