I've got next week off, so I have to knuckle down and choose some films to watch so I don't get week long choice paralysis. Need suggestions!

I'm thinking:

Monster Club (watch that every Halloween)
Something Wicked This Way Comes
Halloween 3 & 4

1/?

[Andrew Lyall - horror writer @grumpyandrew]

Trick R Treat (not seen in a few years)
Godzilla Raids Again
Underwater
Masque of the Red Death (or another Corman/Price/Poe)
The Black Cat
Twins of Evil

Friday the 13th films are like:
1: Who's killing all these people?
2-4: Yeah, it's this dude now
5: Now who's killing all these people?
6-10: It's this dude again 🎉

That silent plea make when checking someone's profile before deciding whether to follow back:

@paulychilds The actual worst is all of what you said except instead of the DM they start posting MAGA shit.

@theweirdinggay The guy subverted himself? Kinky.

@deanpb_author No one's beating The Fog.

@HorrorPaperback Received wisdom is that the 90s was a slump period for horror. What I think that translates to is that very few franchises were born (Scream being the exception). The 90s was replete with weird and wonderful one off horror movies.

@Mudkipstoat23 Ah, bad luck. I've booked next week off so I'm ramping up. Crystal Lake has been the perfect excuse to finally check out my F13 parts 1 and 2 4K discs and part 2 is freaking lush.

[Andrew Lyall - horror writer @grumpyandrew]

Crystal Lake has sent me back to the movies.
Hellraiser: Revival has sent me back to the movies (and got me to preorder the comic omnibuses).
This has been a fantastic spooky season so far 🎃

@rigor_morgan I'm going to tell you something you already know: never let that woman go.

[Andrew Lyall - horror writer @grumpyandrew]

@DeadGeographies The opening is astonishing

[Andrew Lyall - horror writer @grumpyandrew]

Today's post: it's going to be a Hellraiser weekend.

[Andrew Lyall - horror writer @grumpyandrew]

@DeadGeographies I hated it. Gave it another go very recently. Still hate it. Glad you got something from it but I'm not going to return to it.

[Andrew Lyall - horror writer @grumpyandrew]

@EggersGrimoire @werwulfmovie @FocusFeatures I'm going to take a wild guess and say that it'll be more akin to what we see in The Company of Wolves.

[Andrew Lyall - horror writer @grumpyandrew]

@DeadGeographies I do remember being a little chagrined that they leaned so heavily into Judeo-Christian myth. There's even an angel, I believe. I always thought the hell in Hellraiser was it's own thing, but even Barker's let me down on that score in The Scarlet Gospels 🤷‍♂️

[Andrew Lyall - horror writer @grumpyandrew]

@StebobM Jason's woke, I can dig it.

[Andrew Lyall - horror writer @grumpyandrew]

Now watching Friday the 13th Part 2 in 4K.
Imagine if Jason wore skinny jeans 😂

[Andrew Lyall - horror writer @grumpyandrew]

Damn. Amy Steel sure is easy on the eye in 4K.
