Thankfully Chris Seaver’s 2024 Halloween Marathon allows you to FF.

 

I watched All Hallows' Eve the other night, and thought it was bad but in a fun way. Currently watching Terrifier, and it somehow feels worse? I just want some motivation or world-building or something other than clown gimmick. I feel like the movie doesn't stand on that alone despite how entertaining Art is.

Do Terrifier 2 and 3 improve on that at all, or are Art's stories just not for me?

 

2 and 3 do a lot more world building and actually creates motivations and provides a story/plot. 1 is paper thin comparatively

 

Having a Scaring The Hoes Movie Night tonight since I’ve been behind on the movies this month.

 

Finally get to catch the Exorcist on the big screen tonight.

 

Lucky! You go enjoy that shit, that sounds awesome!

 

Let me know how that Klostsrman book is, haven't read that one

 

It’s good

 

I held off the on the Substance so the hype wouldn’t interfere with my expectations, but the film is fucking wild. I’m going to need some time to process it.

 

Finally watched Hauntedween. Loved it.

 

Romulus was rad

 

It’s a fantastic book, I bought a copy because I enjoyed it that when I initially read it. It’s a fantastic look at that decade in essay form and it’s recommended reading it while listening to 90’s music.

 

Yeah, I loved Klosterman through college, and I'm not 100% sure all of his stuff holds up but I still have a major soft spot for it. I just dug up my copy of Killing Yourself to Live and plan on rereading it. Will definitely check that one out!

 

Someone I follow on LB reviewed a Troma movie I'd never heard of called Bugged from 1997 that I guess is like a black version of Ghostbusters about killer crickets? 100% on my radar now

 

Doing Soul of the Demon now

 

Yo this fucking rules. Wade through 45 mins of hangout scenes that feel like Dazed and Confused deleted scenes set in 91 and then you get a lofi Evil Dead/Night of the Demons ripoff with some incredible gore. I love this!

 

Finally got around to Talk To Me tonight. Absolutely loved it.

 

Talk to Me an absolute modern classic imo. the brief glimpse of hell haunts me

 

Ehhhh

We can agree to disagree :)

Definitely had some creepy moments tho

 

Smile 2 rocked

 

‘78 Halloween on this morning and it’s super chilly and autumny outside. There is truly no better time of the year

 

100%

 

Was surprised to find how many of the additions made to the Exorcist’s director’s cut (that I’ve always thought were goofy/unnecessary) audibly worked on the audience last night, haha.

It was a much younger crowd, too, who I have to assume were seeing it for the first time. It’s a testament to that movie’s staying power that you could sense how deeply uncomfortable people were during several of the Regan scenes, rather than giggling at things that have been parodied/copied/referenced to death.

Still prefer the theatrical cut, though. It just moves better.

 

just started this. girlfriend goes “this seems like it’s gonna be unwatchable” and then ten minutes later “actually can you start it over?” lol. really fun so far.

 

Hit the open bar at a surprise party a little too hard and fell asleep by 10:45 last night. I get two nights a week to stay up all night watching movies and I haven't watched anything this weekend. I'm so mad at myself lol
