61 Nights of Halloween (2025 Edition)

Robert Goulet?!

Spoilers! It just came out.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Tonight...

A lack of conscience.

First Omen wins.

Easily.

Immaculate gets points for originality at least.

 

[Ninjablade]

No Paddington! No! Don't go near the sewer!

Found it. Christopher Lee is in it.

Oh, I might have to watch this one.

The First Omen was operating on Excorist III/Rosemary's Baby levels of "elevated horror," meanwhile Immaculate was more or less in line with The Devil’s Rain or Prey for the Devil.

I dug both but First Omen was fantastic.

People seem to like it mainly for the homage to Possession.

Horror fans defending their critically panned yet beloved horror movie of choice:

 

[Lily Adler]

Was that Rosemary's Baby prequel series any good?

My mistake it was a prequel movie on Paramount Plus.

I thought the movie was fine. Better than I expected, but nothing special. Julia Garner as the lead and the demon looking like this helps.

Evil Dead (2013) dir. Fede Alvarez

I haven't seen it since it came out. Liked it then, but now it kinda drags when Jane Levy isn't on screen.

8th of September:
A Haunting in Venice (2023)
The Ugly Stepsister (2025)

Kenneth Branagh's third Hercule Poirot outing is a tasty morsel of seasonal goodness. The cinematography is gorgeous and appropriately atmospheric, with heavy emphasis on Dutch angles. The locations, the gothic production design, the costumes — the word is SUMPTUOUS.

Body horror is having a moment right now, and The Ugly Stepsister rides the wave in a grand splash of grotesque beauty. Lea Myren is glorious as the lead, Elvira, one of Cinderella's stepsisters. Her acting prowess paired with some really effective prosthetic makeup makes an impression, whether it's horrifyingly gory or unnoticeably subtle.

The Ugly Stepsister is thematically rich, especially when it comes to tackling concepts like beauty standards, pretty privilege, and jealousy. It isn't precious or coy about any of it, and that makes the film feel layered and refreshing.

Yeah, Levy's time on screen is rather good. Problem is no one else is interesting enough of an actor or character.

Like these both very much.

Remember when Apple and the pedophile from Jeepers Creepers tried to make Justin Long a movie star?

I want to marathon all 3 films, but the cannibal fetishist that's not Hannibal (Willibal forever) and this are in Death on the Nile:

When he rules at being a little creep himself.

Ah Barbarian... Skarsgard didn't deserve to go out like that.

I wonder if I have the stomach to watch Tusk.

Don't forget the sex pest and the anti-vax bigot!

But yeah, Nile just isn't good. No matter how Mackey tries.
