    I'm amused that both Ring and Ju-Oh have multiple sequels and their American remakes also have sequels. Nice to know even Asian horror couldn't resist making franchises, either.

    I'd never seen Trilogy of Terror before, and I kind of loved it.

    Very TV movie in its aesthetics, but Karen Black kills it. Really owns all 3 stories.

    The ending is chilling. I'm surprised I hadn't had that image spoiled for me, in all my years on horror forums and such.

    I watched The Texas Chainsaw Massacre for the first time recently, for my one token Horror watch for October (after the month had already ended, heh), and besides the film's tone-deaf attempts at squeezing humor out of Franklin's disability, it was a solid, early Slasher; the way the camera roamed, moved and zoomed in and out all over the place made it some of the most impressive cinematography I've seen in any independent film, with lots of atmosphere and great environmental storytelling to boot, with the endless freaks of taxidermy on display everywhere, which didn't just immerse, but submersed me in a world of all-encompassing grime, and even with the relatively small amount of blood, it's beyond me how Tobe ever expected to get this a PG rating. I doubt it'll ever become a favorite of mine due to the unrelenting sadism of its second half (then again, I'm not a big Horror guy in the first place), but it's all still stylish ​sadism at least, so it's still a good movie despite of all of that.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    First blizzard of the year means it’s time to watch The Shining. Then perhaps The Thing.

    Something I mentioned to bac0n earlier today: They should’ve known something was up with that husky. Fucker was perfectly behaved and didn’t bark.

    Is Karen Black in all three stories? I just remember her in the last one. I think this was her peak year being in Nashville and Day of the Locusts as well.

    Yes she was. And so good in all three.

    I saw Trilogy of Terror at a young enough age that I don't really remember anything except being absolutely terrified by that fucking doll. I should fire it up again. I recently re-watched The Amityville Horror (original), after having likewise only seen it as a young child and being absolutely horrified by it. As an adult it held no power at all. It honestly kind of astonishes me it became such a blockbuster.

    I strongly recommend Hunter Hunter. However, don't read too much about it before going into it. All you need to know is that it is about a family of three trying to get by in the woods.

    The Whip and The Body is a mess. Lee kind of saves the movie and I did like the visuals and the ending.

    Blood Beat is hilariously bad. Think Hack-O-Lantern but without the goofy charm.

    Rewatches-

    Black Sunday jumped 10 points after a long overdue second viewing. Steele is fantastic, I love how Gothic the whole movie is and it gets away with a surprisingly amount of violence for an early 1960s movie.

    Kill Baby...Kill also improves although I still don't love it as much as others do. It is a good fall movie but I did not care for the ending. Runs out of steam yet it is still well made.

    Little Monsters was a freaking delight.

    I never knew how badly I needed to see Lupita Nyong'o leading a conga line of 5 year old through hordes of zombies, with one of the kids wearing a Darth Vader costume and trying to use the force.

    Yeah Lupita was great in that and the biggest reason to see it. Not the least because she got to do this to Josh Gad:

    Midnight Run (1988) - 9
    The Smiling Lieutenant (1931) - 8.5
    The Adventures of Robinhood (1938) - 8
    Sisters (1973) - 6.5
    Shin Godzilla (2016) - 7.5

    He was great at playing someone you very badly want to die.

    Hammer film set featuring 20 titles on sale for $15. Usually runs for over $100. (Did they overestimate the market for it?)

    https://www.deepdiscount.com/fb/6839...ovoWs-LDhUCFZo

    Edit: Looks like it must've been a mistake, because it's at $72 now.

    That set is OOP if I remember correctly, so that's actually a pretty good deal.

    Scare Package -- 6/10

    There's so many jokes, some of them are bound to land. Some of the segments are funnier than others. Three of the seven segments flat-out did not work for me. I'll give it a mild thumbs-up, though, because when the humor worked, it really did work. Plus there's a ridiculous amount of splatstick in it. Watched on Shudder.

    Scare Package is solid. I gave it an 8/10. I liked the leads, felt some of the movie was a tad slow, and I'm not sure if I liked the ending or not. The stories were good though.

    Hunted on Shudder is a total waste of time. It's about a 7/10 for the first hour+, but then in the last 10-15 minutes it loses focus badly enough to destroy any sense of enjoyment you might be having. It becomes so inexplicably stupid and starts leaning on bad comedy so heavily that if you had left the room and come back, you might be confused about whether you're watching the same fucking movie. Frankly, I feel a touch offended that the film makers thought they could pull that ending off and get away with it. If you do choose to watch it, turn it off when the paintballers enter the movie. It's just a quick downhill slide from that point on. Any ending you come up with on your own will probably be better than what the film makers gave us.

    A very generous 4/10.

    Gretel and Hansel has an amazing soundtrack, and that's about the only amazing thing about it. It has a very nice visual style and set design. The story is relatively predictable with no real twists or turns. It's unclear to me whether Gretel is supposed to have an accent, but Hansel and her mother do, so I'm pretty she she's supposed to. It doesn't sound much like Lillis tries to do an accent and leaves me wondering if she was only cast due to the success of IT. She's decent in the part, otherwise. Alice Kridge is sufficiently creepy as the old witch.

    7/10

    Holy shit, did I enjoy The Queen of Black Magic on Shudder. A couple moments made me laugh out loud (but not for comedy), and one moment made me legitimately squirm. 8/10
