It's never looked or sounded better.
I had a great time and a flood of memories came back to me.

#Jacktober Day 14, Movie 34.

I hadn't watched #TheRockyHorrorPictureShow since at least 2018 when I hung up my heels and retired from Sins o' the Flesh In LA. With the 50th anniversary upon us, I turned on the new 4K restoration tonight.

#Jacktober Day 14, Movie 33.

A #firsttimewatch (not kidding), #Saw was suggested by my partner. I put this off for a long time because I HATE torture porn, but this was pretty good! I guess it's just the 3,000 imitations/sequels that are trash. 😂

A #firsttimewatch suggested by one of my pals, #WerewolvesWithin was a damn good time. The wild pettiness in a small New England town was quite authentic, too.
(Ask me how I know!)

#Jacktober Day 13, Movie 31.

Another #UniversalMonsters #firsttimewatch, #InvisibleAgent is an odd duck - a horror propaganda movie right after the US entered WWII. The beating up Nazis part is cool, but #PeterLorre playing a Japanese diplomat blows.

I love #LateNightwiththeDevil. One of my favorites of the last decade; maybe the best #foundfootagehorror of them all. If you haven't seen it, fix that ASAP.

#Jacktober Day 12, Movie 29. A #firsttimewatch.

#TheMostDangerousGame was allegedly the Zodiac's favorite movie, & thus made sense as a chaser after that.

This was strong, too - a taut thriller from the same team that made #KingKong 1 year later.

I'm blown away by #Zodiac. A terrifying movie about murder & obsession. Everyone gave career-best performances.
Enthralling.
Struggling to think of a crime move that is its equal or better, whether fact or fiction.

I had no prior knowledge of #Identity until my GF put it on the list as one of her picks. Consider me pleasantly surprised after my #firsttimewatch - a stacked 2000s cast, and going in cold is a definite plus.

#TheWolfofSnowHollow had been on my list for awhile & kept getting bumped. Happy I got a #firsttimewatch of this in, as it's a fun werewolf whodunit. Also, it's the last film appearance by the legendary #RobertForster.

#Villains is the kind of #firsttimewatch I find while idly scrolling through the apps. Glad I did! A #tight90 w/ a great cast, showing what happens when bad folks stumble upon worse ones. Recommended!

An underrated #UniversalMonsters gem, I'm always surprised #WerewolfofLondon doesn't get more love. The monster makeup rocks, #HenryHull is good, and it features my favorite #WarnerOland performance.

#HIM was right in my wheelhouse; it expounds upon the open secret that sports culture, at its root, is fucking terrifying. Go into this one as cold as you possibly can.

Another Universal #firsttimewatch, #SheWolfofLondon was not what I expected going in. It ended up more like an attempt to make a #ValLewton slow-burner. Interesting.

#IslandofLostSouls: easily the best #IslandofDrMoreau film adaptation, maybe the best non-Universal horror of the '30s. More menacing & influential than you probably remember.

I grew up in a small town in MA where a little girl was abducted & murdered. I still remember her name 32 years later. This one was both a lot and very cathartic for me.

#M3gan2point0 was fun and messy, but not nearly as much as the original. Centering it on how AI will likely bring the whole grid crashing down feels pretty fucking timely, though.

I've been enjoying the #FearStreet series the past few years, and #FearStreetPromQueen was a nice addition to the timeline, slotting between the '78 and '94 installments.

Ryan lobbied for me to watch #WildZero; I'm glad he did! A space zombie movie starring Japanese punk band #GuitarWolf while also featuring a trans romance, which was an unexpected joy for a 1999 movie. ROCKNROLL!

The group marathon continues, as Steph has never seen #YoungFrankenstein before today.
One of the funniest movies I've ever seen, and the one true #UniversalMonsters satire.
