What's the last movie you've seen?

On Saturday night, since it was the first night of the full moon this month, I decided to do my yearly rewatches of a pair of classic werewolf movies from the year 1981: The Howling (directed by Joe Dante) and An American Werewolf in London (directed by John Landis).

On Sunday night I chose to revisit the original 1981 The Evil Dead and 1987's Evil Dead II: Dead by Dawn from director Sam Raimi.

Finally, yesterday night I finished Sam Raimi's Evil Dead movie trilogy with a revisit of 1992 Army of Darkness and followed it with a revisit of director Robert Hiltzik's 1983 slasher Sleepaway Camp.
 
a little while ago i watched the second sonic movie at the cinema with my padre. was super rad, knuckles melted my heart
 
The 355.

It was Mission Impossible and James Bond rolled into one except it was all about female spies getting the work done instead. I wouldn't call it a groundbreaking film but it was entertaining nonetheless.
 
Following the camping setting from Sleepaway Camp from the previous post I made, I decided to revisit the Friday the 13th series this past week.

Tuesday was the original 1980 Friday the 13th and Friday the 13th: Part 2.

Wednesday was Friday the 13th III: 3D and Friday the 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter.

Thursday was Friday the 13th V: A New Beginning and Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives.

Those are the only movies in the franchise that I enjoy, so I stop at VI instead of continuing on with the rest.

That brings us to tonight.

I revisited director Stan Winston's 1988 movie Pumpkinhead and also finally checked out director James Wan's Malignant from last year. There were little things here and there that I didn't like, but I enjoyed it.

Also decided, what the heck, had enough time before bed and watched Halloween Ends since it released in theaters and on Peacock today. It seems divisive from what I've seen, and I can see why. I'm mixed, maybe leaning positive albeit with some gripes. There's still some Halloween Kills-esque dialogue and behavior that's like, people don't talk and wouldn't act like this, but thankfully a lot less of it. There are fun bits; saw some people saying they saw some Christine elements in it, and I could see that as well as some Heathers, but this was pretty inept in comparison to those. Ultimately didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either. It was okay.

The October horror movie marathon marches on, approaching its end.

Saturday night was sort of themed around vengeful spirits. First was a revisit of director Nobuhiko Obayashi's 1977 movie House, otherwise known as Hausu. Followed it up with revisits of Wes Craven's original 1984 A Nightmare on Elm Street and Chuck Russel's 1987 A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.

Tonight was themed around creatures from space. First was a revisit of Fred Drekker's 1986 movie Night of the Creeps, followed by a revisit of the Chiodo Brothers' 1988 movie Killer Klowns from Outer Space.

The week preceding that was mostly rewatches. The first part of the week was revisiting Dario Argento movies, particularly the original 1977 Suspiria, its 1980 sequel Inferno, as well as Phenomena from 1985. Followed those with Demons and Demons II from Lamberto Bava. Friday was John Carpenter's films Prince of Darkness and In The Mouth of Madness (1987 and 1994 respectively), as well as Joel Schumacher's 1987 vampire movie The Lost Boys. I did see something new though; last Sunday I revisited Bernard Rose's original 1992 version of Candyman and followed it up with Nia DaCosta's Candyman reboot from last year. I've seen the original numerous times throughout the years and love it, and I mostly loved the reboot too.
 
Monday's theme was mad science, so I revisited: director Stuart Gordon's 1985 movie Re-Animator, David Cronenberg's 1986 version of The Fly, and Chuck Russel's 1988 remake of The Blob.

Tuesday's theme was terrifying tales, so I revisited two anthology movies: Mario Bava's 1963 movie Black Sabbath and George A. Romero's 1982 movie Creepshow.

Wednesday's theme was the walking dead, so I revisited: Lucio Fulci's 1979 Zombi 2 (otherwise known simply as Zombie in the US or Zombie Flesh Eaters in the UK), director Amando de Ossorio's 1972 movie Tombs of the Blind Dead, and director George A. Romero's original 1968 Night of the Living Dead.

Thursday's theme was houses of horror, so I revisited: Tobe Hooper's 1981 movie The Funhouse, followed by Rob Zombie's 2003 movie House of 1000 Corpses.

Today (Friday) I was too busy with the first round entry of the Deathly Designs event for TBT's Halloween festivities, so I only saw one thing. I watched directors Scott Beck and Bryan Woods' 2019 movie Haunt for the first time. It sort of followed Thursday's theme since the film mostly takes place in a haunted house attraction. There are a couple things I didn't like about it but for the most part I enjoyed it. It's a fun, watch for the Halloween season and I'm glad I checked it out.
 
Tonight I revisited director Mary Lambert's original 1989 adaptation of Stephen King's Pet Sematary, then followed it up with revisits of director Don Coscarelli's 1979 movie Phantasm and its 1988 sequel Phantasm II.
 
The School for Good and Evil.

Not a bad film but it definitely had room for improvement and the last scene of the movie was ruined with the wrong song choice (no offence to Sam Ryder) which sadly made the last scene laughable in a tender moment between friends.
