The Hitcher (2007)
🎃 Horrorthon 2019 #33
Turned out to be more action-thriller than horror, but Sean Bean was good.

Prince of Darkness (1987)
🎃 Horrorthon 2019 #30
More Carpenter! This one is VASTLY under-appreciated. Great cast, including Donald Pleasence, Victor Wong, & even Alice Cooper!

The Dead Don't Die (2019)
🎃 Horrorthon 2019 #25 🔥 Release Year
The reviews aren't great, but I enjoyed it --- but I can see how other people would not. Would I recommend it? Only to weirdos like me, I guess, lol.
It is slowww and dryyyyy; there is some social commentary re: corporate greed and consumerism that is not subtle and sticks out like a sore-thumb; and one of the character-groups' fate is never resolved to the audience.
Things I liked about it: The cast really saved it for me, Bill Murray and Adam Driver work well together, and Tilda Swinton being weird is always great; the plot is bizarre, but the cause of the zombie outbreak is creative; the running Sturgill Simpson gag (also, the theme song is good); the breaks in the 4th wall. My fave part was probably the WU-PS delivery.

House (1985)
🎃 Horrorthon 2019 #21
I've been waiting for this to be streaming somewhere!
NOTE: I also watched House II, but that is not a horror movie and not good.

The Nun (2018)
🎃 Horrorthon 2019 #17
My friend had warned me that this was not good. I ignored him and watched it anyway. This was alright, actually. Some good creeps; standard religious/demon/possession stuff, but not as lame as he made me think it would be. Glad I ignored him. Will I watch it again ever? Meh, probably not. Also the Nun totally was Marilyn Manson I'm pretty sure. 🤣
