Phantasm: I've seen it before and on rewatch it completely held up. I like that you have absolutely no idea what's going on for so long, there's just this creepy tall man, a lot of growling, and a flying metal ball. The reveal that the dwarves are corpses smushed down to mine on a heavy gravity alien world owns lol. Lots of funny dialogue throughout. Definitely a classic.

Prince of Darkness: First time seeing this. Very slow build but the premise is really cool and the execution is good. Everything after the researchers are gathered together is great, highlights being the reveal about the dreams and the climactic part with the mirror.

In the Mouth of Madness: First time watch. I'm a little more mixed on this, I think because it's more competently shot or it plays things safer with the structure/plot or something, it doesn't have some of the charm of older horror movies lol. Still good but it makes it not nearly as weird. Sam Neill in the movie theater was the standout scene for me.

Videodrome: latter half was cool, needed way more body horror stuff throughout and less about pirating sadomasochistic porn lol. The one guy getting shot and having writhing guts start spilling out of him is the ideal, lots more of that. Definitely feels a little harsh but I'll give it 2.5/5 overall.

The visit: solid 4/5, more downtime than I remembered but it does need that to make the epic parts epic. The grandparents are so good, the grandma especially. Grandma telling the girl to get all the way in the oven :stare:
