Hollismason posted:It stole the bed scene in F13 part 1 and the machete to the face. I watched this for the first time last year and yeah, it was amazing how much was lifted from that film. -- So, the challenge - going to try for 31 w/Fran challenges. After a couple of years of escalating numbers (64 was the peak last year), I think I'm going to dial it back a bit - my work-at-home job that pretty mindlessly let me watch a movie or so a day has become more complex, so 31 will be more my speed. To change things up after 5 years of only counting new watches, this year I'm going to allow myself rewatches, but for a good cause - my 9-year-old daughter told me she wanted in on the challenge this year, so I'll be showing her some of my favorites from my childhood. Appropriate stuff, of course, like the Universal monster movies, 50s giant bugs, some more family-friendly stuff she wants to watch, etc. Depending on how adventurous she feels, we might slip in Poltergeist or The Gate (both of which I had watched by the time I was her age in the '80s), so we'll see how that goes.

Witchhammer (1970) and Witchfinder General (1968) are both very good.

I just got home from a work trip and it's time to scream. I'm going with the rules I impose on myself for every challenge: 31 movies, one a day every day in October, and they have to be new to me. Unfortunately, my life has been even more crazy than usual so I had no time to prep this year. I've got no gimmicks prepared for me, no weird stunts, and no films I've got to see; I'm just going to have go basic and pick out something that seems cool as I'm flipping through options. For historical horror, they're always Haxan.

 #4.) Slaughter Island (2010; Tubi) A group of teens, who fashion themselves as explorers of remote areas, visit an island, where they proceed to have a beach party. Things soon turn frightening, though, as members of the group meet violent ends. With their boat vanished, is there any hope for these plucky kids? Shallow on plot, the movie is mostly those teens wandering around in the woods and beach until happening to get killed once they get separated from the group. There's some skeezy sexploitation elements, the gore is low-budget stuff (almost always involving sharp sticks), and the whole thing feels like it was destined from the start to go directly to a DVD marked 'Pay no more than $5.' The killer has an interesting gimmick, but it's not explored to anymore than a superficial degree. That's a shame, because it's easily the most inventive thing the movie has going for it. No real reason to spend time watching this, unless you're really hungry for Japanese horror. Nice song over the ending credits, I guess. “You have something sticking to you. It's gross.”  Rating: 4/10

1. Black Sunday Mario Bava's directorial debut about a 200 year old dead witch trying to return to life through the body of her identical descendant. This movie has some incredible atmosphere going for it and it's overall a great looking film. The black and white cinematography is stunning with some effective camera work throughout featuring a lot of great tension-building panning shots and sudden snap-zooms. Barbara Steel is captivating as the witch, with the bulk of her acting being conveyed through her almost cartoonish eyes. The pacing is also very good with very little downtime dragging things down. This was an excellent first watch for this year.

1. The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave - 1971 [Tubi] this movie is ~106 minutes long and after the first 5 minutes, not much happens till the last 15 minutes. the plot is similar to Hitchcock's Rebecca - a wealthy widowed man marries again and his new bride / others are haunted by the dead wife's ghost. of course there are twists: the widower enjoys killing prostitutes who resemble his dead wife among them. it's a good move to have on while doing other things cause while most of the movie is unexciting the end has a few "oh poo poo" moments. Someone [read: me] should make a modern version of this story. rating: 3/5

Many years ago Walmart acquired my startup, and on the announcement day, someone from Walmart corporate came to our office to congratulate us and asked us a question. "let me give you a sense of how big Walmart is. you know those DVD bins at each Walmart? the ones filled to the brim with $4 DVDs no one's ever heard of? How much revenue do you think we make off those no name movies every year?" Coworkers shout out "$10 million!" "$50 million!" "$100 million!" Corporate guy laughs.

 Friday the 13th: A New Beginning, 1985 It is October here now, so I'm starting my marathon. The fourth movie was the final part. Jason was killed for real and there's no way around it. So of course they made a fifth movie despite that. The kid from the previous movie is somehow a young adult. If he went through some hyper puberty in one year or we are expected to believe that the universe of these movies are permanently stuck in the early to mid 80s in terms of fashion and music I do not know. Either way, he is messed up from the trauma of seeing Jason killing people and barely surviving, and sent to a home for messed up teens. Teens in that looks like they are in their 20s. Bunch of killings happens, our traumatized main character, if he can be called that, have visions of Jason. Is he doing the killings? What kind of dumb twist will there be at the end in showing who the real killer is? Only way to find out is to watch the movie, or the very least just look it up online. This one just don't have the charm of the previous ones or the fun of the later ones. This is to me the weakest of the franchise. Still, it gave me some 80s slasher fun, so it is not a worthless movie by any means. Well, unless you aren't into these kind of movies. Then it is just garbage.

1. Girls School Screamers (1986, physical media) I watched this because it's a Troma movie that I'd never seen that Vinegar Syndrome gave a nice release, so I figured it had to at least be a fun watch. Not so much. It has a fun start with some good makeup effects, and then you just sit through a mediocre haunted house movie for about an hour until there's a really fun scene where they break out the good makeup again, then it ends a few minutes later. The acting and script aren't really notable in any way, good or bad. The characters are as thin as you'd see in any mid-80's slasher, but the few slasher-style things that happen are perfunctory and boring with like 2-3 exceptions so you don't even get any laughs or ironic comeuppance from any of it. Absolutely do not recommend unless you're some kind of Troma completist and even then I wouldn't prioritize it. 1/5

2. Moloch Netherlands, 2022. Dir. Nico van der Brink Streaming on Shudder I quite enjoyed this one. A bit of a slow burn, but it had some great atmosphere (cant go wrong with misty nights and desolate bogs) and the ghost effects were top notch. It plods along for a while there in the middle, but it has a very satisfying ending and even if the twist is telegraphed from a mile away it was still an enjoyable ride. What can I say? I'm a sucker for folk horror. Goddamn that was a nice looking ghost. drat. 6.5/10.

1. Blood Feast (1963) Directed by Herschell Gordon Lewis "I was reading about all those murders and it sort of takes all the joy out of everything"  Blood Feast is definitely a movie. When Herschell Gordon Lewis directed it, he had probably seen movies before or was familiar with them. This doesn't mean he was really qualified to make one himself. Somehow, he cobbled together a vital part of horror history from some truly awful ingredients. The music, camera work, and line delivery are all just plain bad. Blood Feast has this weird goofy charm though. It's not really shocking almost 60 years after it was made, but it is unpleasant. It does deliver on its promise. There is a lot of blood. 👻👻👻/5

In for 31 again this year. My big project I'd like to work on through it is reviewing the Halloween films and doing a retrospective on each timeline. I'm breaking them down like this at the moment.  The Carpenter Timeline: Halloween 1 and 2 The Cult of Thorn Timeline: 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 The Miramax Timeline: 1, 2, H20, Resurrection The Blumhouse Timeline: 1, '18, Kills, Ends For each movie I'll also try to include a 1-10 rating for Michael's masks, a favorite kill, and if anything jumps out, a favorite frame. Otherwise I'm aiming to do expand and re-watch some giallo, Universal Monsters, and the Hammer Frankenstein films. It's gonna be a good October, y'all.

 #5.) Darkman II: The Return of Durant (1995; Blu-ray) So what if Robert G. Durant go smashed into an overpass with a helicopter explosion? He's back, baby! Back (with only one or two scars, no less) to cause trouble for Peyton Westlake, the Darkman! Arnold Vosloo is here to replace Liam Neeson as Darkman, and as much as I like Vosloo, his accent is all over the place in this film. And Bradford May (director of Elevator Girl, Flower Girl, and The Right Girl) steps into Sam Raimi's shoes to direct. A tall order, no doubt, but with all the flashbacks to footage from the first film that are used, about 5% of this film could feature Raimi's credit anyway. There's more of a comic book influence this time around, swapped in for the pulp serials vibe of the first, with disintegrator guns, a former KGB agent with plutonium batteries, a high-speed car-chase shoot-out, and a street news team digging too deep into criminal activities. And the one-liners! They make up the majority of Durant's dialogue, while Darkman gets a truck-load of clichés. We get a “Take two of these and call me in the morning,” delivery, and a double dose of “Batteries not included.” Despite that, Larry Drake (playing Durant) is reliably excellent, no matter how much scenery he chews. On top of all that, there might as well have been Philip Morris financing, considering how hardly a scene goes by without someone pulling out a cigarette or cigar. Maybe I've got too much of a soft spot for the property, but I still like this. It's a fun romp, even if it doesn't aim too high in innovation, stunts, or luridness. And it does have the “Commie son of a bitch!” “Nazi bastard!” exchange, which I can't help but love. As good as the first one? No, certainly not. But much better than a DTV sequel to a Sam Raimi film could have easily fallen. “I think we've all learned a valuable safety tip here.” Rating: 6/10

Hell yeah! I’m pumped to do this again! Last year I promised 31 and managed 67. This year I’m promising 31 again, but my real goal is 62 with a stretch goal of 100 films. It’ll be tough, but I think I can do it. Other challenges I’ll attempt are mostly new to me titles and stuff I own on disc, with exceptions for streaming exclusive movies. Plus, I’m def going for thread challenges (spooky bingo was so fun last year) and the Hooptober challenge. I’m waiting for midnight, the official start to October, for my most frightening and gruesome film on my list…..an Adam Sandler Netflix comedy! Mwahahahaha!!!

1. Evil Toons Starting my spooky season off with a goofy haunted house meets Who Framed Roger Rabbit meets your usual Fred Olen Ray sexplotation romp. It’s a very silly tongue in cheek affair. It’s bottom of the barrel in lots of ways but there is a lot of charm, like Dick Miller getting a sharp-toothed blowjob or this classic Ray opening card....  David Carradine stars (of course) wearing his best pilgrim outfit-showing up for a few minutes to lend his usual gravitas. The titular “toon” effect is pretty terrible but I love the idea! Barely appears however. All in all it’s a pretty fun film, something silly to get you in the spooky spirit. The main girls have a fun time playing up the usual horror stereotypes, it’s all very knowingly wonky and bad. Dumb fun, I have a very high tolerance for 80s/90s low budget cheese so take my review with a grain of salt.... 3.5/5

 1.) Beetlejuice Tim Burton | 1988 | Peacock I’ve seen this one in bits and pieces over the years (specifically the ending) so I’m happy to finally watch it in full for the first time. Especially considering I’m one of those 80’s/90’s kids who grew up watching the animated adaptations of films before the actual films themselves. But I guess the wait was worth it because Beetlejuice is a really fun movie! The set designs and a lot of creature designs are really cool and it just has fun vibes all over. There are a lot of great performances, but naturally the best is Michael Keaton as Betelgeuse (I didn’t know it was supposed to be spelled that way!) There’s some little quirks that bugged me a little, but overall it’s not that big of a deal and Rating: Total: 1/13 New: 1 Rewatches: 0 My Letterboxd list (in progress)

2) Sole Survivor (1984) This has some dreamlike, stylish moments that show its Carnival of Souls influence, and I thought the story was interesting. The main character, Denise, walks away from a devastating air disaster without a scratch, but after that, she keeps running into more danger. She has some scary encounters that her doctor/love interest writes off as survivor’s guilt, and the cops assume she's imagining things. The only person who takes her seriously is a washed-up actress with psychic powers who warns Denise that she and everyone around her are in trouble. It’s is a slow, atmospheric movie that you may need to be in the right mood for, but I really enjoyed it. It's got some solid performances and some of the scenes have a really cool look. The “chased by death” story has a couple of dangerous coincidences like the ones that show up later in the Final Destination series, but those aren’t the focus. Instead Denise is hunted by the bodies of the recent dead. It’s a cool idea, especially since these zombies aren’t Romero-style shamblers that follow her around because they're hungry. They’re sneaky zombies with a sense of purpose, and that twist on expectations keeps things interesting. Overall, Sole Survivor is a solid little movie that feels like someone took a 60s or 70s supernatural thriller and then added some dead bodies that are really into murder. It could be a decent fit for fans of stuff like Messiah of Evil or the kind of Italian horror movies that focus more on tension than goop. I liked it more than I expected to, which made sense once I found out it was by the same writer & director of Night of the Comet, which is one of my all-time faves. I wouldn't say this one has quite the same spark as Comet, but what does? 1) The Wind (1986)

I have a confession to make. This'll be the eighth year I've watched 31 horror movies. Each year I promise myself I'll post my reviews here, and each year I forget to do it or post a few times and fall off. The problem is I started off posting five minute reviews on Facebook for my friends and eventually started posting them on a blog because a few of them wanted to be able to reference them year round, and I don't want to bombard you guys with multiple paragraph reviews, so I'm usually less motivated to write shorter reviews specifically for this thread. I plan on doing the full 31 again this year, but this time I'll try harder to actually post them all here. 1. The Unseen Three blonde women report on an unreasonably popular Danish festival (the people, not the food) and end up staying with a museum curator because they can't find any other lodgings. They start getting killed by a mysterious being that lurks in the basement. The movie telegraphs the "twist", but nothing prepared me for just how embarrassing and tone deaf it ends up being. 2.5/5 2. Pet Sematary Two A kid loses his mom and moves to Maine where he and a new friend ressurect his friend's dog... And a few people. The first Pet Sematary is low key one of my favorite horror movies, so I knew a sequel couldn't be good. Luckily it seemed like the director knew she couldn't match the original, so she decided to make it completely over the top, cast Clancy Brown as the worst person on earth, and fill it with gore. It's not a good movie, but it's basically just the first film remade in the style of an Evil Dead film, so I was entertained. 3.5/5

 1) Eating Raoul - 1982 - HBOmax Personal Story Time: First time meeting my fiance's full extended family at the big Christmas do, and I'm nervous as all hell. I've already hit it off wonderfully with the Taiwanese side of the family, so that helped. But I'm still not sure about the Danish/Irish branch. It's already come up about my love of movies, but they're more into artsy films and social commentary things and I'm the Horror film nut. Seriously, the conversation went like this: Aunt: So, Sinistrari, I hear you love movies. Me: Oh yeah. I've burned through VCRs and DVD players with how much I watch. Aunt: That's a lot of movies. Have you seen Slumdog Millionare? It's so wonderful and inspirational. Positively lifechanging. Me: ... um.. I've heard of it, haven't seen it since it's not quite my kind of thing. I like Horror movies. Aunt: ...oh... I was quietly praying that the Krampus would show up and drag me off. Dinner comes around and as we're all talking, my fiance's younger sister brings up the time their Mom rented Eating Raoul thinking it was about Spanish restaurants and she's been teased about it since. I spoke up saying I'd seen it and thought it was a really good black comedy. All eyes were on me as if I just farted in church during a quiet moment at High Mass. My fiance's Mom just smiles and says "See, at least she has my side." That was it, ice broken and once they saw I actually like pickled herring, and passed the akavit test, I was in good standing. However, I still need to work on my ebelskiver skills. So, story shared and sitting through it again, it's still a pretty good black comedy. Taking into account how many restaurant startup/save my restaurant shows I've sat through, I'm not finding the premise of a couple killing off people to fund their dream restaurant as absurd as I once did. Considering Woronov and Bartel reprise their roles as the Blands in Chopping Mall, it could be argued it's a kinda sorta sequel. There is also a comic book adaptation that someday I'll pick up a copy. Granted, some of the humor is dated but that can be said about a fair amount of older comedies. I still can't get over how young Robert Beltran was in this. It had to be one of his first roles. Overall, if you like black comedies, I recommend giving this one a go.

2. Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers Well I completed my night 1-Fred Olen Ray double feature with this beauty. Unfortunately I didn’t find this one as charming as Evil Toons. It’s noir parody was more grating than funny. It still has that Ray goofiness and I really enjoyed the opening kill- it’s not often that you see rubber limbs fly in front of a nude-shower-cap-clad-chainsaw-wielding lady who casually tosses the pieces towards her lovingly framed black velvet Elvis portrait.  But it’s a bit hard to be too down on this film, even as Gunnar Hansen flounders around in a robe waving a chainsaw around a room that could be generously described as a “set”. That’s just the Fred Olen Ray way. It loses some shine watching it back to back with one of his films I simply enjoyed more. However, bonus points for the ending confidently setting up, and even naming, a sequel that was never made! 2.5/5

 The true faces of horror The VVitch (Robert Eggers, 2015) I was feeling kind of lame starting off the month with a rewatch, but I regret precisely nothing. I wanted to drink in a bunch of eerie atmosphere on a cool autumn night, and I got exactly what I wanted. The script is minimal, the plot could be summarized on a business card, but none of that really matters because the screen is dripping with detail for you brain to lap up and try to empathize with a bunch of religious zealots who are afraid of the woods. The VVitch god drat owns and I love Robert Eggers and watching this now might turn into a yearly thing for me, although next year I'll plan ahead and make a bunch of hot mulled cider. But that's not what I want to highlight. All of the acting is amazing and the casting director should get some kind of award for this, and then also chastised for finding the most annoy pair of kids to ever walk the earth. It's not their fault, it was a necessity of the script, they were just doing their job... but following orders only absolves you of so many sins and these moppets are really loving annoying. It's like having two screenings of The Babadook injected directly into my ears every time those little shits come on screen. And every time someone would accuse Tomasin of witchcraft, I couldn't get the full experience because another part of me was screaming, "Those loving terror-hobbits have been doing nothing but singing little songs they wrote about their black goat because it whispers to them in the night how are you not blaming them first ghjdagkjdga;jfglkasng;djglg!!!!!!" This is the second time I watched The VVitch and both times I aloud told the screen, "gently caress you," when they died. 9/10 Super Spoopy S-Tier, gonna go stare at the dark woods outside my house and think about how wonderfully quiet my niece and nephew are.

Oh hell yeah I only watched 13 for May this year, and as a result my horror backlog is kind of bananas. I'm going for at least 31, and the only stipulation is I will give each movie my full attention. #1: Saint Maud (2019)  Maud, a nun and palliative carer, can feel the presence of the Lord all around her, and wants her patient to do so too. An excellent movie. Shades of Taxi Driver, someone just boiling over inside their own head, mostly unnoticed. Played like a possession movie at times, and I'm not 100% sure it wasn't one. And while I had the ending given away, it was still very effective; sometimes horror movies make burning appear comical, while here it's just so nasty. Not the most lighthearted movie, if that's what you're looking for.
