Another first watch for me, SCHRAMM. I knew the infamous scene was coming but even so I was not prepared. Worth the watch though.

Day 23: Hates Feet
BRAINSCAN. Okay really the hates feet scene is the only part of this movie that has any gore and it happens at the end of the first act. The rest of the movie is slow and has some half-baked horror/video games are bad alarmism that it can't figure out its stance on. #HQHalloween

Day 20: Surreal Fever Dream
Since I'm trying to only watch movies I haven't seen before, and this is a fave subgenre of mine, I've seen most of them! So I decided on COLORS OUT OF SPACE for the mind-altering sequence toward the end. #HQHalloween

Day 13: Danny Trejo
Decided to keep with the #firstWatch and dig deep into a Trejo film I haven't seen, picking RISE OF THE ZOMBIES. Typical made for tv fare with very little plot, but fun to see LeVar Burton and Trejo eat up scenes together. #HQHalloween

I threw on something that's long been on my to watch list, MAZES AND MONSTERS. It definitely played a role in the pearl-clutching of the early satanic panic and the "evil" influence of games like Dungeons and Dragons. Movie sucked but even in his first r5ole, Tom Hanks shines.
