Re-Watching Sorority House Massacre II (1990)!

An unofficial rule when breaking out an Ouija Board, has to do with the dress code. It's more of a warning, but it suggests that you should wear more than just underwear when communicating with the dead. Unless you want to talk to pervert spirits!

Re-Watching Sorority House Massacre (1986)!

Whenever people have a psychic link to another person, it's always a psychotic killer...it seems too coincidental. I wonder if there are plenty of others, but the link is to a stocker for Walmart, or a fry cook at McDonalds...That would be horrifying!

The real reason the price for imported items has risen is because tanker ships from overseas have seen an influx of giant spiders! The world has kept it quiet because most the world dislikes spiders, and with their new growth, it appears that Humans are soon to become the new flies for their meals!

Re-Watching Attack of the Killer Donuts (2016)!

People are always talking about how bad donuts are for us. They are sugary, deep fried, &have no nutritional value at all! So don't be surprised that if they become sentient, they will attack all their critics...& the folks that devour them too!

Re-Watching Séance: The Summoning (2011)!

When are people going to stop inviting the biggest jerks to seances? They not only don't believe, they break the rules, & doom everyone to death by demons which they don't even believe in! It would be nice if they also didn't invite them anywhere else too.

Re-Watching The Seventh Sign (1988)!

If there are events that occur warning that human judgement is coming, is there a time frame? Could one of the signs have happened 5 years ago & another today, or must they all come to pass in sequence in one week's time? Need to plan my 'we're doomed' party!

When staring over a blood drenched field, with the trash, the bodies, the wasted concessions, one can only wonder what madness kicked off the tragic scene...Most likely it was the parents in the stands! Nothing can prepare you for a rabid parent at a High School game...nothing!

Re-Watching Dead Ant (2017)!

I've never understood why bands would try to distance one of their biggest hits. They decided to make at some point, and people liked it. Even if they move beyond, and took their music in a different direction, the fans like their old hit. Just grin and play it!

Re-Watching Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021)!

An entire state feels the effects of earthquakes that suddenly appear and the only person interested is a substitute summer teacher? Even if you ignore the science like most people do nowadays, the ground is shaking...surely someone else would be curious!

Land of the Dead (2005)

I find it funny that in all zombie apocalypse movies you never see the zombies squabbling, yet humans bicker & double cross all the time!

Just Watched Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024)!

The Ghostbusters are back in New York, but their storage facility is about maxed out! The team, new & old struggle with their own issues, while an ancient artifact is found &learn an old God want to return bringing death & ice to the living!

I suppose every night you spend with your family is a good night with the family, even if it is sitting at home in your tinfoil hats hoping that aliens or the government isn't trying to read your mind, and being terrified that they already read your mind, and know about your tinfoil headgear plan!

Re-Watching Ghostbusters (2016)!

The idea that an incredibly smart individual that had been picked on their whole life would use that intelligence to get revenge...so what are bullies supposed to do? Pick on people that aren't smart? They might get beat up for that! Nobody ever thinks of the jerks!

I suppose just getting bigfoot to show up to the starting line is an achievement, but racing two really slow vehicles isn't the way to test its speed...Although, it may be deciding which vehicle to fight like the Street Fighter bonus level...in which case it can take my car as long as I can film it!

Re-Watching Ghostbusters II (1989)!

The good side to having an Emotional charged slime running through your city is that slime is fun & entertaining. It's neat to play with...the texture's so unique you can't help but smile. A lot of things can be said about people that hate slime & it's all true!

I have no problem with the torture, blending the boundaries between pleasure and pain, the extreme body modifications or even living in a dark realm surrounded by chains hooks & gore...but is there a godless torture realm that does not allow smoking? Healthy lungs=healthy torture as they always say!

Re-Watching Ghostbusters (1984)!

Ectoplasm often shown as proof of ghostly activity, does not appear to present in every ghost in existence, & the amount oozing varies as well! Just hope that if you are haunted by one, it is one of the dry ghosts, ectoplasm looks like the worst to clean up!

Re-Watching The Lady Vanishes (1938)

Hard to believe that strangers talk to each other. Of course, with public transportation, it forces strangers to share a small space for long periods of time. We Americans prefer our own cars...we don't talk, just swear at each other while stuck in traffic.

It's #wordsearchwednesday

Manhunter (1986)!

Getting inside the mind of killer might help solve the crime, but unless they're good with puzzles, solving this one is something you must do on your own

Re-Watching The Hazing (2004)!

A Scavenger Hunt can be a lot of fun, and a good party game. Unless of course the list contains cursed items, demonic trinkets, unholy marvels, or evil occult items. They make the game more interesting, but the results are not what anyone would ever call fun!

It would have been nice to see schools having the foresight to set up a medical facility in the gym! It wound have definitely come in handy when the Dodgeball games started in PE! After being slammed by multiple head shots, you wouldn't have to wander off to the nurse...just simply crawl to a bed!

Re-Watching Devour (2005)!

I'm a little too old for online gaming. I don't trust the online gaming community enough...do you really know who it you're playing with? I just miss the old days, where the other player was in the room, & if the other player was being a jerk, you could smack them!

Re-Watching The Invisible Man (1933)!

A scientist that creates a serum that can turn people invisible, makes you wonder for what purpose did they invent the serum! Is it for the government, to make the perfect spy, or is it for deviants in order to make them become more effective window peepers?

Whenever a wizard, sorcerer, cult leader, magician or some other self-proclaimed leader comes back from the dead, they hype it as the greatest thing ever, & although it is a great feat...you have to wonder if they change their tune when they look in a mirror and see that death put up a good fight!
