John Carpenter's "Halloween" (1978)
🎃 Horrorthon 2020 #40
My own personal Halloween night tradition.

Häxan (1922)
🎃 Horrorthon 2020 #38
Original 1922 silent film, restored.
This was really interesting, and horrifying in its own unique way. A bizarre mix of historical instruction and dramatic presentation... but why devils always churning butter?! Churning butter all the time!

Häxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages (1968)
🎃 Horrorthon 2020 #39
Aging beatniks interpret the original.
WOW this is pretty awesome. You have to have watched the original to appreciate what they've done with it. They sped up the footage a little bit, making it even more surreal. William S. Burroughs' narrations and the translations of the dialogue cards are modernized quite nicely. But by far the BEST aspect is the Jazz score replacing the original score, which really orchestrates the action on the screen in a much more appealing way.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)
🎃 Horrorthon 2020 #37
One of the better remakes to come out of the early 2000's.
R. Lee Ermey = terrifying.

This must have been fun for all those kids playing the zombies! Great cast, overall.

Tragedy Girls (2017)
🎃 Horrorthon 2020 #34
Pretty fkd up. Teen psychopaths feeding off each other, with an unhealthy dose of social media presence.

The Hunt (2020)
🎃 Horrorthon 2020 #33 🔥 Release Year
⚠️Trigger warning for... everyone.⚠️
Wow, I can absolutely see why there was controversy about releasing this film in the current political climate. It contains over-the-top stereotyping of BOTH extremes of our two-party system, and a ridiculous fictional conspiracy scenario run AMOK. Betty Gilpin is A👏MA👏ZING👏, the dark humor is first-rate, and there's a good twist at the end.
P.S. You can find reviews posted by people from both political parties saying this movie is revenge porn for the other side 😂 Now that's some good satire! #offendeveryone

Open Grave (2013)

This was good. Not exactly what I expected.

Scary Movie V (2013)
🎃 Horrorthon 2020 #31
This came up in my Netflix surfing, so I figured what-the-hell 🤷 I've only ever seen up thru #4. It was just ok -- a few good laughs, but otherwise unremarkable.

The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016)
🎃 Horrorthon 2020 #30
This was petty good, and not too long (1h 25m) -- Would recommend.
Good night for it, too: all stormy outside to match the stormy in the movie.

The Stuff (1985)
🎃 Horrorthon 2020 #29
The Blob meets Invasion of the Body Snatchers, but without making any sense. 😂 and with the DOOOOOFiest Southern militia to ever grace the silver screen, led by a racist, "Commie"-obsessed caricature played by ¿Paul Sorvino? for some reason?!? 🤣

The Lords of Salem (2012)
🎃 Horrorthon 2020 #28
I want to say this move is underrated, but I can't.
Visually it's fantastic, it really is, and the cast is great (Meg Foster, wow!)... but something falls flat along the way... something's wrong, I can't quite put my finger on it... maybe it's trying too hard? taking itself too seriously? too much visual, not enough story? Seems like I should like it more than I do, but I just don't. 🤷

When a Stranger Calls (1978)
🎃 Horrorthon 2020 #27
I had my doubts throughout the first half of this, but it turned out to be worth it.

Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (1988)
🎃 Horrorthon 2020 #26
Fkn love Elvira 🖤
The sneers, the wisecracks, the provocative-clothing-doesn't-mean-you-get-to-cop-a-feel🗡️attitude, AND THAT CAR! 🖤 This movie is pure cheese-fest 💯 and it's amazing.

Train to Busan (2016)
🎃 Horrorthon 2020 #25
Still one of the best zombie movies ever, in case you didn't know that yet. Glad I finally bought the DVD, as the streaming options I could find do not offer the English overdub.

The Final Girls (2015)
🎃 Horrorthon 2020 #24
Interesting premise, MEH execution.
WAY too much emotional touchy-feely stuff. Adderall striptease sequence was funny, and slow-motion slasher on fire jumping out of 2nd-story window was cool. Could have been better, just fell a bit flat. 🤷

Ghost Stories (2017)
🎃 Horrorthon 2020 #22
So glad I decided to watch this one tonight -- it was really good! Much suspense. Very creeps. Great twist(s) that might even give you an unexpected surprise. 😱
