Rubber (2010)

🎃 Horrorthon 2023 #1

Absurdity for absurdity's sake. Not un-enjoyable... but don't expect any of it to make sense,😂 and be ready for a whole lotta watching a sentient tire roll around having an existential crisis.

Maniac Cop (1988)

🔥 35th Anniversary

More mystery, thriller, and even drama components than I expected -- actually gave the movie some good depth.

Sleepaway Camp (1983)

🔥 40th Anniversary

I know this movie is a "cult classic" or whatever, but it is hot garbage.😂
I'm glad I didn't bother saving it for my Halloween Horrorthon.

The composition of most of the scenes sucks; the character interactions and dialogue are so forced and unnatural; the acting is terrible, and half of the actors that are supposed to be "kids" are probably old enough to drink... it's just painful to watch.

Then my husband's like, "well we have to watch the 2nd one now", and I couldn't even make it 10 minutes into it. 😂 I didn't want to waste any more of my life.

The Funhouse (1981)

Tobe Hooper repeats Texas Chainsaw Massacre, just in a carnival setting this time 🤷 i.e. mentally twisted family, deformed adult son who has been abused and is now physically strong and dangerous, group of teenaged interlopers, you get the idea.

  This was definitely another Scream movie.

Happy Death Day 2U (2019)

Rewatched Happy Death Day this weekend, so figured what-the-hell, might as well check out the sequel. Lots of exposition about why the loop(s) happen/ed. These movies are just barely in the horror category, but this 2nd one even moreso removed, with all the sci-fi going on.

My Bloody Valentine (2009)

  Pretty lame.

Stage Fright (1987)

Expected a train wreck going into it, but this wasn't half bad as far as Italian slashers go. Never would have suspected.

Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984)

I read "The Final Girl Support Group" earlier this year, and this was the only slasher film/series referenced in the book that I had never seen, so I figured I'd give it a watch this holiday season. It was very dumb.😆

Candyman (2021)

🎃 Horrorthon 2022 #27

Wanted to rewatch the original before I took a crack at this new one.

Great homage to/continuation of the original. Amazing cast, excellent storytelling, very heavy material.

Candyman (1992)

🎃 Horrorthon 2022 #26 🔥 30th Anniversary

Got to watch this outside with our projector! It was an unseasonably warm autumn evening, we had a group of friends get together, and it was a lot of fun! Still one of my all-time favorite horror flicks, but my son was unimpressed.😆

Scream 4 (2011)

OMG there's another one I didn't know about! 😂 Not horrible, lots of recognizable actors, but certainly nothing groundbreaking. Soundtrack has some good tunes, tho.

Scream 3 (2000)

I swear I'd watched all the Scream movies before, but nothing seemed familiar about this one.🤔 Maybe I just stopped at #2 long ago and never looked back 🤷😆

Open 24 Hours (2018)

Solid slasher flick. Nothing groundbreaking (and the lead actress was a bit of a ham in places), but along with a deranged hooded stalker: the plot was intriguing, the setting was creepy, and there were plenty of both delusion horrors and actual horrors.

The Burning (1981)

Campy slasher with some (very young) familiar faces.

Fun fact: Tom Savini passed up Friday the 13th Part 2 to work on this movie instead.
