Day 20 is an absolute classic. I, like many children of the 80s, watched it way too young to be prepared for it. Needless to say I've been hooked on it since.

Tonight's feature: John Carpenter's the Thing

One of the largest airlift evacuations in Alaska history last week. Survivors may not be able to return home for 18 months — at least two coastal communities have been completely washed away by floodwaters from ex-Typhoon Halong.

Day 11, I went nuts for this franchise's original entry, both as just a great horror movie, and what it did for the independent film maker scene.

Been super excited to watch h tonight's feature:

28 Years Later

Day 10 may be a lesser known movie but one I really dig all the same. I don't want to say too much but it's a fun, scary and prickly ride. Tonight's feature:

Splinter

#31DaysOfHalloween
Peacemaker Season 2 Hot Take: so Spoilers if you haven't caught up!

The revelation of Eagley as the Primal Eagle suggests that like other magical/mystic powered Metas; Wonder Women, Shazam or Black Adam, etc. Eagley could potentially down a Kryptonian.

Also, while I love this movie because I grew up watching it; there is a pretty disturbing scene in which a snake was killed on camera. I always skip it nowadays but word of warning to any new watchers out there.
Day 9, kinda bucking tradition by not watching tonight's entry on the 13th, hell it's not every Friday, but somewhere near a spooky camp lake it's always the same day.

Tonight's feature: Friday the 13th

Day 8, since it's a windy autumn evening I was inspired and thought we'd try something new. Tonight entry is about just what can be hiding in the wind and dust and darkness. Today's feature:

Hold your Breath

#31DaysOfHalloween
Day 7, I guess we're stuck in a found footage kinda rut because I grabbed another from the pile tonight.

I dig this one though, and it's fully in keeping with our recent demon themed movies.

Tonight's feature:

The Possession of Michael King

#31DaysOfHalloween
Day 6 we're going with Zombies!

However instead of sticking with the Romero staples or the Return of the Living Dead franchise entries (both of which I love); we're going with a lesser known title but a fun dark comedy horror nonetheless.

Tonight's feature:

Cooties

That makes sense. I agree that not everything needs its own special word but I also see the trend that is social media branding lol
Day 5 we're gonna do a quasi-demon themed double feature!!

The first is super creepy and wonderfully executed horror mockumentary, The Taking of Deborah Logan!

And then;

A fantastic folk tale with a evil forest that's well worth a watch,The Ritual!

Okay, so when you say something on Bluesky you're obviously not 'tweeting', so what is one doing? Bluesk-ing?

That doesn't quite sound like a work appropriate verb. 😂
Day 4, I've really been looking forward to watching this movie. I loved the director's earlier stuff, so I'm excited to see how this new film holds up. Tonight's feature:

Weapons
