61 Nights of Halloween (2024 Edition)


When I still have stuff I didn't get around to watching before Halloween like It Follows and I Saw the TV Glow staring me in the face, yeah...

Happy belated everyone wasn’t around yesterday was too busy. We ordered ourselves some pizza and enjoyed some drinks 🍕🍺 Threw on some episodes of Goosebumps. Broke out a horror trivia card game. Indulged in some candy 🍬 And had ourselves a classic Halloween double feature 🎃

Oooo he got the king size candy bars.
 
Forgot to post my Halloween marathon.

43. Halloween (1978)

The classic. Got to start at the beginning.

44. Halloween (2018)

A new classic. Truly, tossing out the sister stuff has only been good for the franchise. Though, I finally noticed what Karen was wearing. Wearing a christmas sweater on Halloween, she was the true villain of the series all along.

45. Halloween Kills (2021)

Flawed film, yes. But it truly delivers on the title of kills. Plus its a fun chant.

46. Halloween Ends (2022)

Yeah, I get why people don't like it. But, I fell in love with the first kill. And I want a Corey sequel.

The hype, the praise...it's true, all of it.

Been sprinkling this one throughout the month and what a journey it's been. Hamish Linklater, man, what a performance. My hats off to you guys who can rewatch this, I don't think I'll be able to watch this again due to a certain character. :hehe:

And that's a wrap on this year, folks!

Oh dear. I very much disliked the first two, but as a completionist and as someone who's willing to change their mind, I went in with an open mind. It was a particularly fruitful opportunity for Terrifier 3, as this was my first Terrifier film in a theater, at the largest Dolby screen available here, on Halloween night. Even moreso, I was doing a double feature, and I had just watched the atrocious Venom: The Last Dance. I was ready for anything but that. And I didn't eat beforehand, I'm not an imbecile! No snacks, only plain water. I was prepared.

I was kind of enjoying the first fifteen minutes; the much improved production values were very welcome, and the soundtrack was nice. Maybe I could've lived with a 90-minute version of this, but for some ungodly, illconceived reason, these Terrifier sequels have to run for over two hours. It's madness, there's no material here beyond the kills, and there's too many of those at an uncouth level of brutalization to really leave any other feeling but desensitization. It gets dull so quickly, there's no stakes to any of it. Any attempts at lore or plot are a terrible waste of time, and thinking about it in hindsight, maybe the first Terrifier was the best one after all. At least it knew what it was and it was a perfectly fine, merciful 85 minutes. Sure, it was incompetently made and looked the worst, but as said, it's short. Maybe I like short. God knows I don't like this.

I do respect what a huge success these films have been for their modest budgets and origins, it's a story of perseverance against an industry that was very unwelcoming to these sloppy, blood-stained globs of clown manure. But there's an audience. My audience was laughing through the whole thing like they were at a comedy club. That was the weirdest aspect to me and my friend. SURE, some of the kills can be funny with how over the top the violence is, but this audience reaction kind of brought the questioning Karen out of me. For example, the laughing started at the very first moment of violence: the sound of Art hacking a child into pieces with an axe off-screen. The idea of that was enough to make a proper portion of the audience laugh. I don't know about that, girlfriend. This isn't my scene.

Undoubtedly I'll be complaining about Terrifier 4 in 12 months, or whenever it hits streaming. I'm not going back to a theater for another one of these ever again, but as said, I'm a completionist and I make all sorts of bad decisions every year. We'll see.
