You're getting AT&T again?

No. We're finally getting Squirrel Girl live action.

13. Hell House LLC (2015)

10th Anniversary rewatch - Returned to this one now that I've got Shudder. I liked it a lot more than I did the first time. They do a great job at recreating that old-fashioned, low-budget documentary style. The characters may be annoying at moments, but are mostly believable and likable. And that freaking clown design is just hands down one of the most frightening monsters from recent years. It's definitely limited by the conceits of Found Footage, but it's one of the best examples for it.

14. Hell House LLC II: The Abaddon Hotel (2018)

A major step-down. Just way too much going on here to function coherently. There are some creepy scenes - the attempted seance is for sure the highlight of the movie - but nothing ever clicks. It's mostly a rehash of the original mixed with bigger ideas that it doesn't fully know what to do with. I really wish at some point they would have delved more into the cover-up in the town, that's honestly the most interesting part of this story, and its barely touched on.

15. Hell House LLC III: Lake of Fire (2019)

With better characters and a tighter narrative than II, this could easily have been as good as the original, but instead they insisted on doing these stupid static flashbacks to the previous movies CONSTANTLY. It not only breaks the immersion of the format, it's just plain obnoxious. That said, I have to give it props for trying such a genuinely insane ending, even if they don't really pull it off.

Well this was just as generic and forgettable as I thought it would be and I still don't understand the point of getting Renny Harlin for these movies when it obviously feels like any director for hire could have made these movies. I'll atleast give them credit to doing a few different things and no just remaking the first movie but the set pieces in this just feels cheap and now I won't be surprised if the next one goes directly to streaming.

Also, wasting Richard Brake like they did in this is unforgivable IMO.

5/10




Wasn't a fan of this one either but I can atleast appreciate the bold and ambitious approach they take with demonic possession. So much of it revolves around trauma and abuse though which makes the whole thing feel pretty bleak and mean spirited and while it isn't super graphic in terms of violence it definitely has some pretty brutal and disturbing moments that overall just wasn't for me.

Good makeup and gore effects though and it was cool seeing A.J. Bowen and Sean Whalen in something again even though they are kind of wasted here.

5/10

Turns out Sunshine isn't on Hulu anymore even though it's still saved in my watchlist so I took a detour from the planned programming and swapped it out with The Howling, which is another one I've wanted to see. Werewolves are my favorite supernatural monsters so there's no excuse why it took me so long to see it. The plot could have been better, it took a while to really get going and then once it did it ended a bit abruptly but the ending delivered. The special effects are also pretty solid in this. If An American Werewolf in London is the Mozart of 1981 werewolf movies, The Howling is the Salieri. Also, shout out to Joe Dante. He's no John Carpenter or Wes Craven but he knows his stuff when it comes to horror.

My younger brother and his girlfriend saw this the other day, and afterwards he tells me "can't remember the last time I was this bored sitting in packed theater."

The13 Days of Halloween logo makes me think of one thing:



I was obsessed with Big Wolf as a kid. It's campy, meta, full of references and parodies. I even had the theme song on a CD that was included in a box of Count Chocula.

This afternoon I watched World War Z. This didn't really feel like a horror movie, more of an action movie but it's got zombies in it along with a "velociraptors in the kitchen" type of scene at the end with sneaking around them so it totally counts. This was maybe the biggest live action movie of the last 15 or so years that I hadn't seen yet so it felt like I was catching up. Honestly? It's not bad. I remember avoiding it at the time because I was sick of zombies but watching it now and it's just an average action movie with zombies. I do very much remember the trailers so the two big setpieces of the zombies climbing the wall as well as the plane sequence were spoiled but I was still entertained. It was kind of like I Am Legend but without the emotional gut punch in the middle.

Used to tape it when Freeform was Fox Family.

I just looked up the Wikipedia page of Freeform's history. Apparently it used to be 31 Days of Halloween, but got shortened to 13 when it became ABC Family.

Watched this last night and WTH....it was such a waste with that "to be continued"

They should've gotten Liv back because at least then this film makes a bit more sense. Not much. But a bit more.

Just decided to watch the F13th remake..Travis Van Winkle is still hot, if not hotter TODAY than he was in this film. His character being the usual jock made his scream even better. While it is one of the better remakes.....still not great (though the opening recapping the OG was A+, if only the rest of the film put in that type of quality)

We'll always have the first Strangers movie that freaked me the hell out.

Surprised you were able to restrain yourself and not post it in here.

It was the most horrifying thing I've seen so far.

Yeah, I've seen him violate several pastries. Surprised there isn't an Onlyfans yet.

The point of selling your cookbooks is to make them look appetizing...
