As far as going to the theater the last one I watched was Oppenheimer...I had no desire to see Barbie so I chose the other one from that drop. Glad I did I really enjoyed it.
Now for outside the theater I watched Batman The Doom that came to Gotham. Kinda weird for a Batman movie but I loved combining the characters with HP Lovecraft style monsters. I also watched TMNT mutant mayhem. Also kinda weird but still enjoyable.

While it wasn't October yet, I'd been feeling the urge to begin my month-long Halloween horror movie marathon and have watched a movie each night since Thursday.
On Thursday night I revisited a movie I had only seen once, years ago, director Alfred Sole's 1976 movie Alice, Sweet Alice. I'm glad I revisited it, as details sort of mashed together in my memory since it had been so long since I'd seen it. Really good movie.
On Friday night I watched director Thom Eberhardt's 1984 movie Night of the Comet. Before watching it, I could've sworn I watched it years ago as well, but if I did then I must not have been paying close attention because most of it seemed fresh and new to me. Aside from a single use of the f-slur, which is always a disappointing thing to come across in movies when it happens, it's otherwise a solid, entertaining film.
Tonight I decided to check out director Dario Argento's 2022 movie Dark Glasses. I'd heard that it was a bit of a return to form for him, his track record since 1987 (or arguably 1996) being regarded as pretty bad by fans, so I was curious to check this out. I'd say I fall within a sort of consensus area I've seen where it's both a return to form but also not really attaining the greatness of some of his classics from the 80s. I feel like that was a tall order and unlikely, so that said, I find it to be quite serviceable and I liked it.
I'll be back later today or tomorrow with whatever I check out today for October 1st.

I was unsure what to start with and randomly chose one of the things on my list that I hadn't seen before, director Peter Jackson's 1996 horror comedy The Frighteners. It's something that I'd seen the coverart of a lot but didn't really hear anyone mention it until like last year or earlier this year. When I heard it mentioned, I heard it was good, so I finally gave it a chance. I found it to be a pretty fun movie and I'm glad I finally saw it.
As the protagonist of The Frighteners is a guy who is able to see spirits, I knew just what movie to follow it up with: director David Cronenberg's 1983 film adaptation of Stephen King's novel The Dead Zone, which is about a man who is able to see major events in a person's past, present or future by touching their hand after he woke up from a coma.
The two movies made for a really nice double feature.

I decided to revisit something I haven't seen in many years, director Wes Craven's classic 1996 movie Scream. I didn't really care for it when I saw it years ago and decided to give it another chance through the eyes of an adult. I still find it to be kind of a mixed bag; some of the horror movie reference dialogue is really grating in a "humans don't talk like this" way, the killer reveal is unsurprising (I knew who was responsible already from past knowledge, but even then, it's really obvious just going by demeanor. Otherwise, I enjoyed the movie more than I did before so I'm glad to have revisited it. I still don't love it but there are things to appreciate it for.
I followed it up with the 1997 sequel, Scream 2, which I had never seen before since like I said earlier I didn't really care for the first Scream when I originally saw it years ago. I actually found the experience more enjoyable. Dialogue was more realistic, mentions of movies felt more natural because some of the characters are in a college film studies class, and overall the movie felt more even in quality throughout than the original for me. I also partially like the culprit better than the first one of them anyway, the other's motivation seemed really dumb to me.
The quality of the franchise seems to up to a lot of debate after this, especially 3 seems quite divisive and more disliked than liked from what I've seen, but I might continue and watch the others in the future just to sate my curiosity.
Tuesday, October 3rd
Unfortunately I didn't have a nice complimentary pairing like the previous two nights, but I watched two things I'd not seen before. The first thing I watched was director Karl Holt's 2019 horror comedy Benny Loves You. Aside from one "joke", I found the rest of the movie entertaining and fun. I probably wouldn't have watched this if left to my own devices, but I'd heard it was enjoyable so I gave it a watch.
I also gave a watch to director John D. Hancock's 1971 film Let's Scare Jessica to Death. Not much to say about it, pretty boring. They can't all be winners, so oh well.
Wednesday, October 4th
I got back into a theme today, that being monstrous mothers.
First, I revisited director David Cronenberg's 1979 movie The Brood, something I watched once when I was a teen. I felt about the same now as then, not bad but not great. It was fine.
Then I watched director Lee Cronin's movie Evil Dead Rise that came out earlier this year. I wasn't sure what to expect since I didn't really care for the 2013 remake/reboot and I didn't know if I'd like anything Evil Dead that didn't include Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams, but I had heard it was really good so I gave it a shot.
I'm happy to report that I enjoyed Evil Dead Rise a lot! It captured the sort of vibe I want from an Evil Dead movie. It was both referential but new and I feel like it pulled it off well. I could've done with less callbacks to the other movies as I feel like this movie was strong enough on its own that it didn't really need to put as many callbacks as it had, but even with that, the change of pace and setting was refreshing. Being set in an apartment building this time, it sort of felt like a combo of Evil Dead with Lamberto Bava's movie Demons 2. Even with saying that and my comment about the references to previous films, this movie was also its own beast and I like the fun new stuff they did. Definitely something I'll watch again in the future!
I'll be back again in the future with more of my October horror movie marathon. Until then!

October horror movie marathon continues!
Thursday, October 5th
Double feature of a couple vampire movies; director Kathryn Bigelow's 1987 neo-Western horror movie Near Dark, followed by Richard Rodriguez's 1996 action horror movie From Dusk Til Dawn. Different tones but I dunno, it felt appropriate to pair them together. I've seen both before but it had been a few years for each.
Friday, October 6th
My yearly rewatches of director William Friedkin's classic 1973 film adaptation of William Peter Blatty's The Exorcist, followed by William Peter Blatty's 1990 follow-up The Exorcist III.
Saturday, October 7th
Yearly rewatch of Phantasm and Phantasm II, both directed by Don Coscarelli in the years 1979 and 1988 respectively.
Sunday, October 8th
A couple more yearly rewatches, this double feature being themed around insects.
Started with David Cronenberg's 1986 remake of The Fly, followed by Dario Argento's 1985 movie Phenomena.
Monday, October 9th
Clowned around with this double feature. Started with a yearly revisit of the Chiodo Brother's 1988 sci-fi horror comedy Killer Klowns from Outer Space, then followed it up with something I hadn't seen yet: Damien Leone's quite gory slasher Terrifier 2, which came out last year. I'd seen positive opinion regarding Terrifier 2 and wanted to check it out for a while. I watched the first Terrifier earlier this year; I heard it was a love it or hate it thing and I was more in the love camp, so I was interested to see more.
Honestly, now having seen both? I prefer the original Terrifier over Terrifier 2. The gruesome practical effects that you'd expect are still here, and I was enjoying the movie just fine for most of the runtime, but toward the end there's a scene that just kind of took me out of it. The scene wasn't enough to ruin the whole movie for me and I don't hate it since it's likely leading into the third installment that is planned, so I'll withhold my full judgment until that eventual sequel comes out and we see the payoff, but eh. I'll probably opt for the original Terrifier in future years.
Tuesday, October 10th
Going into today I knew there was a The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs showing of John Carpenter's 1978 classic Halloween in honor of this year being the 45th Anniversary of the release of the film, so I had to figure out what other thing to watch before that came on. Of course I had a realization about something that would pair well with Halloween after I already picked something, but I'll watch that later in the month probably.
Started with Dario Argento's 1975 giallo movie Deep Red, which I've seen before numerous times over the years, though it was odd and neat that I picked up on little details I'd never picked up on before during this rewatch.
Followed by the main event, John Carpenter's Halloween. Unfortunately, I came to discover that since this episode of The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs was simulcast on both the normal Shudder service as well as AMC+ (AMC being the parent company of Shudder), there was some censoring in this version to comply with AMC standards or whatnot. The Joe Bob segments before, during and after the movie were all really short and lacking the sort of feel of the normal episodes. I feel like if AMC is trying to attract more eyes to Joe Bob and the Shudder streaming service, they're doing a disservice to both by not giving this episode enough breathing room for the segments so newcomers can see the actual appeal. I'm weighing whether to watch the uncensored cut again later this month just on principle. It's usually something I watch on the actual holiday of Halloween anyway, and I was just watching it early this way because of the occasion. We'll see.
All caught up again! Until the next post!

The month-long horror movie marathon continues. Continuing the general trend starting on Monday with Terrifier 2, I decided to dedicate this past week to slashers since there are plenty I like and I figured I'd plow through them before moving onto other stuff in these couple weeks of October.
Wednesday, October 11th
Yearly rewatches of Wes Craven's classic 1984 movie A Nightmare on Elm Street and Chuck Russel's 1987 sequel A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. Those two are the best in the franchise and the only ones I revisit on a yearly basis. Sometimes I watch 2 and Wes Craven's New Nightmare, but less commonly.
Thursday, October 12th
I revisited another Dario Argento giallo movie, this time the 1982 film Tenebrae. I followed it with a yearly rewatch of Robert Hiltzik's 1983 slasher Sleepaway Camp. Tenebrae is one of my favorites from Argento, and Sleepaway Camp is always fun and led in well to the next day's movies.
Friday, October 13th
As we were lucky enough to have a Friday the 13th land in October this year, it should be obvious that I threw in some Friday the 13th movies! Started with Sean S. Cunningham's 1980 original Friday the 13th, then followed with Friday the 13th Part 2 and Friday the 13th Part III: 3D, both of which were directed by Steve Miner. While I've usually tended to just do two movies per night, I decided to stay up longer and do three this time because I wanted to watch all of my favorite Friday the 13th movies but didn't want to dedicate more days than necessary to the franchise. III is my favorite in the franchise and Part 2 is either my second or third favorite, so this was a good night.
Saturday, October 14th
Followed up the first three Friday the 13th movies the day before by watching Joseph Zito's 1984 movie Friday the 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter, Danny Steinmann's 1985 movie Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning, and finally Tom McLoughlin's 1986 movie Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives. Yup, another three movie night. I don't watch any of the other Friday the 13th sequels after VI, and again, I didn't want to drag it into a third day of Jason, so stayed up late again. IV is really great aside from some aspects of the climax that bug me, V is kind of a mixed bag but I think it's okay, and VI is the other contender for second or third favorite alongside Part 2 so we finished on a high note.
Sunday, October 15th
Finally, tonight I revisited Michael Soavi's 1987 slasher Stagefright, followed by Dario Argento's 1987 giallo Opera. They're somewhat similar in some regards; both were released by Italian directors in 1987, Stagefright features a guy in an owl mask killing off the cast of a play and Opera is about a killer forcing a female opera singer to watch as they kill her friends and colleagues by tying her up and taping a row of needles to her lower eyelid so she has to watch and can't close her eyes. They make for a good pairing.
All caught up again! Will report back on this upcoming week as I see more. I expect between life and the forum events I might have to bump it down to one movie per night but we'll see.

I return with the past week of my October horror movie marathon. Like I figured would happen, life and the events here on the forum have had me bump it down from two movies per night down to one. Alas. But we continue on regardless!
Monday, October 16
Since the week prior consisted primarily of slashers, I would be remiss to not include another classic. This was my yearly rewatch of the 1992 original Candyman, directed by Bernard Rose.
Tuesday, October 17th
In my search for horror movies I haven't seen before, earlier this month I came across a YouTube channel that discusses movies and, among other things, learned of this movie. This night's movie was Viy, a 1967 Soviet film from directors Konstantin Yershov and Georgi Kropachyov. The film is based on a horror novella of the same name by author Nikolai Gogol, first published in 1835.
I thought it was pretty neat. I was going to give a synopsis but doing so kind of covers most of the movie, so I'll refrain. Suffice it to say that it has some really neat visuals.
Wednesday, October 18th
Revisited Stan Winston's 1988 movie Pumpkinhead.
Thursday, October 19th
Revisited Peter Medak's 1980 supernatural horror film The Changeling.
Friday, October 20th
As opposed to picking something out myself like most of the days of October, tonight I watched the Hell-O-Ween Special of The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs on the Shudder streaming service. The two movies shown tonight were Lamberto Bava's 1986 movie Demons 2 (a sequel to his previous movie Demons) followed by Damien Leone's 2013 horror anthology All Hallow's Eve.
I've seen Demons 2 numerous times over the years and it's always a good time; usually I double feature it with the first Demons as well but it's not necessary and free time is scarce this month anyhow.
As for All Hallow's Eve, now having seen it, it's okay for what it is. It's basically the precursor to Leone's later movies Terrifier and Terrifier 2. The first story in All Hallow's Eve anthology is Leone's 2008 short film The 9th Circle, with some new footage added, which was the first introduction of the character Art the Clown; it was kind of weird to see someone other than David Howard Thornton in the Art the Clown makeup in this, though that couldn't really be helped considering it was made years prior. The second story features an alien and then the third story bookends with another Art the Clown story.
Having already seen Terrifier and Terrifier 2, going back and seeing All Hallow's Eve afterward was pretty underwhelming. It might be fine if you see it first, I couldn't say. I'm glad that I saw this as part of The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs though, since even though I wasn't all that into the movie itself, the Joe Bob segments throughout made it an enjoyable time as usual anyhow.

As for All Hallow's Eve, now having seen it, it's okay for what it is. It's basically the precursor to Leone's later movies Terrifier and Terrifier 2. The first story in All Hallow's Eve anthology is Leone's 2008 short film The 9th Circle, with some new footage added, which was the first introduction of the character Art the Clown; it was kind of weird to see someone other than David Howard Thornton in the Art the Clown makeup in this, though that couldn't really be helped considering it was made years prior. The second story features an alien and then the third story bookends with another Art the Clown story.
Having already seen Terrifier and Terrifier 2, going back and seeing All Hallow's Eve afterward was pretty underwhelming. It might be fine if you see it first, I couldn't say. I'm glad that I saw this as part of The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs though, since even though I wasn't all that into the movie itself, the Joe Bob segments throughout made it an enjoyable time as usual anyhow.
