H2 > 3 From Hell, but totally understand the lack of desire. Zombie's Halloweens are a cinematic equivalent of a good song cover (where an artist puts their own signature stamp on it). His rendition is angry as fuck, yet he also found a way to weave more of a more grounded, gritty, and...

Oh boy do I have some thoughts about the middle of that list (mostly regarding the order/placement of the Zombie flicks).

I'd agree with 1, 2, H20 (having not seen Resurrection or 4–6 yet, though I get the impression Resurrection is nonessential LOL). I really dug 2018 but despised Kills and have zero intention of finishing the requel trilogy. Rob Zombie's take is super brutal, but it's worth working through the...

I've seen All Hallows Eve (the origin anthology), Terrifier, and Terrifier 2. Of the three, Terrifier 2 was easily the most amusing. None of them are entirely my thing, but there was a levity to 2 that I did enjoy. I like Art as a villain — nonverbal yet so emotive. Vaudevillian in a way. T2...

Anyone in need of an afternoon shoegaze/dreampop stream, Chicago's Shimmer Dj's Scary Lady Sarah and Philly Peroxide should be going live for four hours any minute now. Follow the channel for notifications on future streams as well! (Sarah streams ethereal, cold wave, post-punk and goth most...

Fangoria Chainsaw Awards are on Shudder tonight:

Hell House LLC II: The Abaddon Hotel 💀 💀 Not a great follow-up to the solidly entertaining initial entry. Lost the organicness of the found footage aspect. Hell House LLC 3: Lake of Fire 💀 💀 Inexplicably adds a hint of camp factor, which is the opposite of what I think this concept's...

Hmm not sure why yours says that. JK, I think I know why. You aren;t logging your movies with a watched date, so it's not creating a diary entry for them, it just adds to your Films page as "watched" (not when). The last films you logged with a date were in April last year. (You also may not...

Unfortunately, the original intent (as I understand it) didn't go much further than exploitation for shock factor, but discussion has really come around on the movie, and it's representative of quite a lot more these days. I haven't read it, but I've got a book about the movie from contemporary...

Got another mixed bag of creepy catch-up for y'all. Dreamaniac looks and sounds like a NoES knockoff, but that's nowhere near the case. What it is is a boring as hell sorority slasher helmed by a succubus and her doofy, couch-crashing male accomplice — the first non 🌽 film by David DeCoteau...

Mario Kart is teased as a later update toward the end. Surprised there's no nod to Pokemon Sleep.

Oops, I neglected to post my watch activities this past week, so I'll recap some highlights (and midlights). Heavy metal horror Trick or Treat features Ozzy Osbourne and Gene Simmons (both cast against type as not rockstars) and has some signature 80's style fun with its supernatural...

It's exclusive to Shudder/AMC+ but totally worth a sub for a month. (If you can swing a 7-day trial of either, do make the original SNE a priority. Total gut puncher.) EDIT: JK, I'm speaking for our side of the pond. Since it's a European production hopefully it's more readily accessible for...

It doesn't get any less awkward without family. When we have the windows wide open and my loud ass movies decide to have an extended saucy scene, I just have to give in to the realization that our neighbors probably think we put adult films on surround sound at all times of day.

Here's what's popping onto streaming subs this month:

Lots to catch up on so I'll be brief. V/H/S Viral – Not much to get excited about in this anthology, but I feel ready to now dive into the Shudder exclusives that, by most accounts, likely offer more entertainment value. Tragedy Girls – Kinda on a similar wavelength as V/H/S Viral in how far...

Your imagination is pretty spot on. It really comes down to whether you like his creative decision or not. Otherwise, it's a rather true adaptation for the most part surprisingly.

Sisters was good! It ranks either 4/5 in my De Palma watches alongside Dressed to Kill. Based on my Letterboxd scores, I like Carrie, Phantom of the Paradise, and Blow Out best so far.

Cross posting from the general movie thread for us especially horror-minded folks.
