Day 17 of 31 Days of #horrormovies is the newly-released Black Phone 2. I was worried it couldn't live up to the first one, but the whole story coming full circle, and Gwen's expanded role made up for the added "Nightmare on Elm St" elements. Some haunting moments and bloody death scenes.

Day 16 of 31 Days of #horrormovies is 1991's The Boneyard. A depressed psychic (the excellent Deborah Rose) goes to the county morgue to help in a case, and is attacked by cursed Chinese ghouls. Phyllis Diller appears, and is turned into a mutant ghoul herself! Also: giant zombie poodle!

Day 15 of 31 Days of #horrormovies is 2024's Werewolves, starring the always-jacked Frank Grillo. Everyone turns into killer werewolves when exposed to the supermoon, and Grillo's Wesley is trying to get home to his family. The Purge, with cool practical monster effects!

Day 14 of 31 Days of #horrormovies is 2023's Malibu Horror Story. Dont let the title lead you into thinking this would be goofy - it's a clever mix of found footage, documetary-style, and claustrophobic POV that has some great jump scares as ghost hunters get in over their heads. A fun watch!

Day 12 of 31 Days of #horrormovies was Sorority Girls and The Creature From Hell (1990). It's as good as you can expect from the title! Co-eds head up to a relative's cabin to party, but the uncle in question is turned into a monster by a talkative stone carving. Lots of strangulation, and boobs.

Day 11 of 3q Days of #horrormovies was 1987's Steet Trash! And man, technicolor body melt, goopy gore, and extreme street violence punctuating urban decay of a dystopian Reagan-era NYC. Fun! Generally trashy and darkly humorous, it's hard to recommend, but dang fun to watch!

Day 10 of 30 Days of #horrormovies is 1972's Death Line (aka Raw Meat in the US), a funky time capsule of Britgore where a tunnel-dwelling cannibal kidnaps and eats victims from the nearby Underground station. Donald Pleasence is a great sarcastic DI, some gross corpses, but otherwise, *yawn*.

Day 8 of 31 Days of #horrormovies is 2012's Grabbers, and Irish comedy-horror featuring alien tentacle monsters harrassing and eating locals on a small fishing island. Their weakness? A high blood alcohol level! The creatures are goopy and grabby, plus the cast is fun and clearly hamming it up.

Day 7 of 31 Days of #horrormovies is 1987's The Hidden. I'd never seen this piece of scifi #80shorror but it's like Fallen meets Critters. Secret alien Kyle Maclaughlin is an FBI agent who teams with an LAPD sgt to track down a body-possessing monster slug causing mayhem in the streets!

Day 6 of 31 Days of #horrormovies is 1984's C.H.U.D. - where NYC is "just another character"...as are dozens of mutant cannibals sewer creatures! Plenty of recognizable future stars making cameos, and very progressive in its political message, among the gore and slimy monster design. A fun flick.

Day 5 of 31 Days of #horrormovies is 2021's The Black Phone. Emotional, suspenseful, and with a trajectory that hits a great payoff, I really enjoyed this flick. The latest kidnapping victim of a child murderer gets help from the ghosts of past victims, and from his psychic sister. Fantastic!

Day 4 of #31daysofhorrormovies is a wacky buddy cop comedy featuring body horror and...Vincent Price!

OneofManySteves @oneofmanysteves.bsky.social · 14d

Day 4 of 31 Days of Horror is 1988's Dead Heat: a horror-action-comedy with Treat Williams as a detective who gets brought back to life, and he and partner Joe Piscopo have to catch the fiend responsible for reanimating dead criminals before his body decomposes. Gore, melting faces, zombie chickens!

Day 3 of 31 Days of #Horror was 1987's Witchboard! Evil spirit possesses a ouija board and then Tawny Kitaen (and forces her to wear a suit and bowler bat). Plenty of 80s fashion, including my favorite character, a bitchin' punk medium named Zarabeth! And of course...axe murder!

An annual tradition, #31daysofhorrormovies kicks off with 1985's Creature (aka Titan Find), directed by William Malone. It's probably not going to be one that a guest host will be jumping to bring to the podcast to chat about, but you never know - someone out there loves this film, I bet!

OneofManySteves @oneofmanysteves.bsky.social · 18d

It's Oct 1st, which means the start of another 31 Days of Horror Movies! Today's film is the Alien and Galaxy of Terror rehas: Creature (1985). Silly dialogue, head-scrwtching action, and Klaus Kinski chewing up scenery! Some nice gory effects and the toothy monster aren't bad, though.
