I'm kicking off my 2025 Halloween horror movie watching like:
Night of the Demons (1988)

Final film from my Halloween hangout

Amelia Kinkade, playing the coolest goth baddie in all of film, & Linnea Quigley steal the show. Cheesy & deeply fun Evil Dead/Demons remix

Everything rules - razor-blade apples, spooky dancing, bone dragon demon & lipstick scare!
House on Haunted Hill (1999)

Film 2 from my Halloween hangout

The best of the Dark Picture films. Simultaneously flawed & charmingly goofy like the rest, except every 3rd scene is inspired or a Jacob's Ladder ripoff, like a different director shot it

Zoetrope scene & shadow monster ruled!
Dark Night of the Scarecrow (1981)

Film 1 from my Halloween hangout

Halloween atmosphere & vibes unmatched by almost any other film.

Just a man collapsing to his knees in despair before a scarecrow sends shivers up your spine, much less the tense stalking scenes & great kills!

S-tier match cuts!
One Dark Night (1982)

Final film watched for 2025 #Spooktober Challenge w/ fiance

Psychic vampires with neon lighting, telekinetically floating corpses & mausoleum schenanigans good enough to put Phantasm to shame!

Its vibes really worked for me! Story is so simple it's elegant, but also limiting
Frankenstein (2025)

Absolute masterpiece drenched in visuals that shame lesser films while managing to make compelling versions of the frozen ship bookends & blind man in the woods segment, something all other adaptations fail at!

Unfortunately, weird little story changes undermine Victor's arc.
The Mother of Tears (2007)

It's like marinating a chicken in an incredible sauce, only to wipe it off immediately before you overcook it in the pan. It's still tasty & you enjoy the hints of what could have been, but it's just a frustratingly mediocre.

International swarm of baddie witches ruled!

"Catholics can't get divorced!" There's a loophole. He was never married in the Catholic Church and his wife isn't Catholic let alone Christian. He married before he converted. He can divorce and claim it was never consecrated in the church and thus not a divorce in the eyes of the Catholic Church.

Calling it now, JD Vance is going to get divorced and marry a white woman before he runs in 2028.
Lady Terminator (1988)

Saw at Genre Brain Melt!

Men only want one thing: to steal your magical pussy eel & turn it into a dagger!

Lady! If your pussy bites men's dicks off during sex, you're either doing something really wrong or really right!

Non-action plot is replaced w/ sex slasher scenes!
Onibaba (1964)

Stop cockblocking w/ your murder loot, stepmom!

2025 #Spooktober Challenge w/ fiance

Visually lush Tales from the Crypt episode w/ brutal, desperate murders, corrupting & dooming the 3 leads

Raging wind through susuki grass is visually mesmerizing. Hannya mask is genuinely creepy!
The Requin (2022)

A PS2 graphics resort room, swept out to sea, burns down as Alicia Silverstone speaks in mumbling shrieks & James Tupper refuses to react to even sharks chewing his legs

The shark forgets to show up for an hour

Describing the film is itself a critique of the movie

Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988)

Saw at Cinema of the Macabre

Criminally underwatched & underrated Halloween entry with the best Halloween atmosphere since the 1st film.

Excellent pacing, sensible characters, delightfully goofy ending & all-timer twist smooth over disjointed plot!

It all boils down to they should've been nicer to Biden. This is a giant tantrum.

Time really is a flat circle...
Helter Skelter (2012)

2025 #Spooktober Challenge w/ fiance

The film is like The Substance, Showgirls, Suspiria and Perfect Blue had a gangbang.

Beyond impressive visuals, but dragged down by being 30 mins too long & having 7 endings.

The prototype The Substance took directly from & did better!
Nightmare on Elm Street 3: The Dream Warriors

Saw at Trylon Horrorthon IX: Dead By Dawn!

"Welcome to primetime, bitch!"

Definition of a 5/5 for me, & favorite that night: Fantastic Nightmare idea done in best way possible w/ added social commentary & my kinda weird

Freddy worm & skeleton fight!
Gargoyles (1972)

Saw at Trylon Horrorthon IX: Dead By Dawn!

Surprisingly effective start w/ cheesy Stan Winston suits & gargoyle blasting gives way to boring standing around & pretentious script

Gargoyle butt slap!

Saw it in a unique way - cheesy 70s commercials inserted at TV commercial breaks!
Forgot to mention - Saw at Trylon Horrorthon IX: Dead By Dawn!
Uninvited (1988)

A mutant monster cat hides inside a very cute orange cat and systematically murders horny, airhead Spring Breakers and Richard Gecko wannabes on a stranded yacht via its toxic cat venom.

Tales as old as time, huh? I wish Hollywood would come up with more unique storylines!
The Exorcist III (1990)

Saw at Trylon Horrorthon IX: Dead By Dawn!

William Peter Blattery creates atmosphere better than most horror directors!

A mix of brilliant scenes & unfocused scenes, this is the rare film where producer's cut is better

Brad Dourif should have gotten an Oscar nomination!
Jack-O (1995)

Saw on #TheLastDriveIn Splatterween!

They took a Goosebumps episode, shove possibly the most gratuitous nude scenes I've seen into it & called it a day.

Would have enjoyed this at a Goosebumps episode length, not 90 mins!

Jack-O has cool pumpkin head but is laziest slasher ever!
