It was a different time. It was okay to say those things.

I also read the Bone Saw part of that meme in my mind as if it was a Macho Man promo from the '80s.

Rando midday question:

Why isn't Batman Forever considered a Halloween movie?

You're a couple pages late on my calling it one.

You're a couple pages late on my calling it one.

I'm always late to the party.

Don't worry @DarthSkywalker hasn't passively aggressively called me out on not naming The Crow alongside it and The Batman.

Okay whoever did Maya's makeup needs to be slapped. Her face is a shade darker than her neck. You're supposed to blend and make it natural.

The Ugly Stepsister

Yeah, that was wild. Was simultaneously loving the crisp cinematography and gagging at the gross out imagery but underneath it all, there was a layer of sadness. Elvira deserved so much better.

The Empty Man

Who knew a creepypasta film could be so good? Slenderman wishes he could. So atmospheric and ominous, I was already in love by the time that extended prologue ended. Deserves more recognition as one of the better comic book movies to come out in recent years.

Guess what I'm watching tonight?

See, ladies. It's not that hard to be perfect.

Halloween 2018

I'm watching Kills tonight too but this one gets its own post because it kinda rules. Like, sure it's got the same basic structure as the original but it's also got some sauce to it. Pretty much every character in this movie is interesting. Take this kid for example. He has a relatively small part but he practically steals the show:



And IMO Michael has never been more terrifying than in this movie. He's absolutely brutal here. I don't blame Laurie for extensively preparing for 40 years. But he clearly does have a code. I imagine this was him behind the mask when he walked by the baby in that one house:

About to see how good your taste is.

I like Kills, it's kind of my The Last Jedi of the Halloween franchise. Overall I would say it's good and there are some genuinely awesome moments in it (the 1978 flashback is just perfection) but there are a couple of story choices that I disagree with. I like it more now than I did when I first watched it.

It's like Anthony Michael Hall was so jazzed up that Tim Burton cast him as a bully in Edward Scissorhands that he's just leaned into that for the last 35 years.
