This feels very fitting tonight. We need actual leaders that will fight the tide of fascism, not these spineless charlatans that let it drag us all under. #Murica

Maybe my favorite thing about #Jacktober is when we bust out the full list and go #ByTheNumbers! We tallied 66 movies this year, w/ 41 #firsttimewatches for a 62.1% clip. (Cont.)

#Jacktober Day 31, Movie 65. There's 2 kinds of people in this world: those that love & recognize #HalloweenIIISeasonoftheWitch as the classic it is, and those that are wrong. Which one are you?! Watched on Peacock. #Jacktober2025 #EternalSexGodTomAtkins #SilverShamrock #JohnCarpenter

#Jacktober Day 30, Movie 64. A #firsttimewatch. #HellboyTheCrookedMan is a smaller movie than its predecessors - that's a feature, not a bug. I thought #JackKesy was a good Big Red, in a faithful adaptation of one of my favorite #MikeMignola stories. Watched on Hulu. #Jacktober2025 #modernhorror

#Jacktober Day 29, Movie 63. #TheWolfMan: my GF's favorite of the #UniversalMonsters and therefore a must-watch. PS, #LarryTalbot is a total fuckboy in this movie, and it's hard to feel bad for him. 😂 Watched on Google TV. #Jacktober2025 #1940shorror #UniversalHorror #LonChaneyJr #ClaudeRains

#Jacktober Day 28, Movie 62. The finale of the Apocalypse Trilogy, #InTheMouthofMadness is not only the best Lovecraftian horror movie to date, but the finest horror film of the '90's. I SAID WHAT I SAID. Incredible! Watched on 4K UHD from Arrow. #Jacktober2025 #DoYouReadSutterCane #JohnCarpenter

#Jacktober Day 28, Movie 61. A request! Goddamn, do I love #PsychoGoreman; an intergalactic splatterfest w/ a wicked sense of humor & killer practical FX. Makes me wish crazyball caught on as a sport, y'know? Watched on Google TV. #Jacktober2025 #modernhorror #IDoNotCareForHunkyBoys #OrDoI #PG

#Jacktober Day 27, Movie 60. A highly recommended #firsttimewatch, #Insidious was a MUCH better Wan/Whannell movie than #DeadSilence was last night. It was also a treat to see the OG #LinShaye pop up in this as well. Watched on HBO Max. #Jacktober2025 #LeighWhannell #JamesWan

#Jacktober Day 26, Movie 59. A #firsttimewatch. #DeadSilence was...very meh. Probably my least favorite movie of this year's marathon. Also the constant blue filter is something I'm glad that horror left back in the 2000's. Watched on Blu-Ray. #Jacktober2025 #JamesWan #LeighWhannell #2000shorror

#Jacktober Day 26, Movie 58. It was a real treat to see #ParaNorman on the big screen, and with the new short #TheThrifting in front of it as well. I wish we had more adventures in this universe. Watched at @regalcinemas.bsky.social. #Jacktober2025 #Laika #animation #horrorcomedy

#Jacktober Day 25, Movie 57. Another yearly #UniversalMonsters rewatch, #Dracula holds up 94(!) years later on the strength of #BelaLugosi's performance, one of the most influential ever put to film. Watched on 4K UHD from Universal. #Jacktober2025 #1930shorror #UniversalHorror #HollywoodGothic

#Jacktober Day 25, Movie 56. Another #firsttimewatch as I finished the series w/ #HotelTransylvaniaTransformania. To quote @thatmovieisfine, it was indeed fine, but not memorable. 😅 Watched on Prime Video. #Jacktober2025 #hoteltransylvania #animation #monstermovie

#Jacktober Day 25, Movie 55. A #firsttimewatch. Is #hoteltransylvania3 as good as the first 2? Nah. Am I still having fun with this series? YES. I wish this had existed when I was young. Watched on Netflix. #Jacktober2025 #horrorcomedy #animation

#Jacktober Day 25, Movie 54. A #firsttimewatch. I threw on #HotelTransylvania2 because I enjoyed the 1st one so much. Any movie that gives me surprise #MelBrooks & #NickOfferman is OK by me! Watched on Hulu. #Jacktober2025 #horrorcomedy #animation

#Jacktober Day 24, Movie 53. Surprisingly, #HotelTransylvania is a #firsttimewatch! Gotta say, it's delightful, and finding out #GenndyTartakovsky directed it has me kicking myself for waiting so long. Watched on Hulu. #Jacktober2025 #animation #monstermovie #AdamSandler #SelenaGomez #AndySamberg

#Jacktober Day 23, Movie 52. My most anticipated #firsttimewatch, #Frankenstein is clearly #GuillermoDelToro making his passion play. It's a fantastic, gothic, storybook work of art. I can't wait for everyone to see it very soon. Watched at Roadhouse Cinemas. #Jacktober2025 #modernhorror

#Jacktober Day 22, Movie 51. A #firsttimewatch that my GF lobbied for, #Zombeavers was fucking ridiculous. 😂 Everything from the transformations onward made me giggle. Watched on Prime Video. #Jacktober2025 #modernhorror #horrorcomedy #CurseYouBillBurr

#Jacktober Day 22, Movie 50. A #firsttimewatch. I'm not sure why people disliked #WolfMan. I really enjoyed it, both from a story and makeup FX perspective. I'm going against the crowd and recommending it! Watched on Prime Video. #Jacktober2025 #modernhorror #UniversalMonsters #UniversalHorror

#Jacktober Day 22, Movie 49. A #firsttimewatch. Our 1st great Bad Movie of the marathon! #Necropolis is pure sleaze. It has everything: Punk witches! Reincarnation! '80s NYC! Sassy hookers! Ectoplasm! Demonic breastfeeding! Ridiculously fun. Watched on Prime Video. #Jacktover2025 #80shorror

#Jacktober Day 21, Movie 48. A #firsttimewatch. #Flatliners was very 1990 & VERY #JoelSchumacher. With everything good, bad & weird it entails. 😂 The assembled cast is definitely the best part. Watched on Fandango. #Jacktober2025 #90shorror #ghosts #KeiferSutherland #KevinBacon #JuliaRoberts

#Jacktober Day 21, Movie 47. A #firsttimewatch. #FrankieFreako was delightfully janky, in the way only 80s/90s puppet horror could be. A love letter to old-school practical effects movies. My kind of weird! Watched on @shudder.com. #Jacktober2025 #modernhorror #horrorcomedy #puppets #GunCollege

#Jacktober Day 19, Movie 45. A #firsttimewatch. #Viy is a Soviet folk horror about the death of a witch & her torment of the seminary student sitting prayer w/ her body. Simple premise, but one that shows clever effects & a battle of wills. Watched on YouTube. #Jacktober2025 #60shorror #folkhorror

#Jacktober Day 19, Movie 44. A #firsttimewatch. #NakedLunch may be the most confounding movie I've ever watched. I liked it - unmistakably a #DavidCronenberg movie - but I'm still ruminating on the Burroughs of it all. Watched on 4K UHD from Arrow. #Jacktober2025 #bodyhorror #WilliamSBurroughs

#Jacktober Day 19, Movie 42. #TheOldDarkHouse had been so overlooked for so long, it's nice to see it be re-appraised as the classic that it's always been. #JamesWhale influenced almost as many projects with this as he did with #Frankenstein the year before it. (cont.)

#Jacktober Day 18, Movie 41. A #firsttimewatch. I honestly don't know what to write about #TheHauntedWorldofElSuperbeasto. It's dumb. It's crude. It's absolutely ridiculous. And by default, it's easily my favorite #RobZombie movie. Watched on DVD. #Jacktober2025 #animation #horrorcomedy #DrSatan

#Jacktober Day 18, Movie 40. A #firsttimewatch, #GoodBoy features the handsomest, bravest hero at the movies all year - Indy! Really impressed by his performance. This was a fun #shortassmovie. I recommend it, especially for dog owners. Watched at AMC Theaters. #Jacktober2025 #modernhorror

#Jacktober Day 17, Movie 39. A #firsttimewatch. #TheKeep is intriguing. It's uneven (due mostly to studio interference), but you won't catch me ragging on a flick where an ancient evil is awakened & says, "Yeah, you know what? Even *I* hate Nazis, the scummy fucks!" before wiping them out. (cont.)

#Jacktober Day 16, Movie 38. "KARLOFF DOES NOT DESERVE TO SMELL MY SHIT!" Oh man, #EdWood is so much fun. Not my favorite #TimBurton movie, but very close to it. #MartinLandau as #BelaLugosi is an all-time performance. Watched on Google TV. #Jacktober2025 #biopic #Plan9FromOuterSpace #Vampira

#Jacktober Day 16, Movie 37. Another yearly stop, I had to finish the Karloff/Monster jams w/ #SonofFrankenstein. Half the jokes you love in #YoungFrankenstein were the direct result of this. It also features my favorite death scene in any horror movie, too! Watched on Google TV. #Jacktober2025

#Jacktober Day 15, Movie 36. A standing request by my friend Tyler. I've been overdue for a rewatch of #PhantomoftheParadise. It's safe to call it my favorite DePalma movie! Watched on Google TV. #Jacktober2025 #DeathRecords #PaulWilliams #BrianDePalma #BEEF

#Jacktober Day 15, Movie 35. A #firsttimewatch, #GalaxyofTerror starts as an Alien ripoff, but ends up about controlling fear & FIGHTING GOD. AWESOME. P.S. I see you in the credits, James Cameron! Your prints are there! Watched on Shudder. #Jacktober2025 #80shorror #RogerCorman #NewWorldPictures

#Jacktober Day 14, Movie 34. I hadn't watched #TheRockyHorrorPictureShow since at least 2018 when I hung up my heels and retired from Sins o' the Flesh In LA. With the 50th anniversary upon us, I turned on the new 4K restoration tonight. (cont.)

#Jacktober Day 14, Movie 33. A #firsttimewatch (not kidding), #Saw was suggested by my partner. I put this off for a long time because I HATE torture porn, but this was pretty good! I guess it's just the 3,000 imitations/sequels that are trash. 😂 Watched on Hulu. #Jacktober2025 #2000shorror

#Jacktober Day 13, Movie 32. A #firsttimewatch suggested by one of my pals, #WerewolvesWithin was a damn good time. The wild pettiness in a small New England town was quite authentic, too. (Ask me how I know!) Watched on Hulu. #Jacktober2025 #modernhorror #horrorcomedy

#Jacktober Day 13, Movie 31. Another #UniversalMonsters #firsttimewatch, #InvisibleAgent is an odd duck - a horror propaganda movie right after the US entered WWII. The beating up Nazis part is cool, but #PeterLorre playing a Japanese diplomat blows. Watched on archive.org. #Jacktober2025

#Jacktober Day 12, Movie 30. I love #LateNightwiththeDevil. One of my favorites of the last decade; maybe the best #foundfootagehorror of them all. If you haven't seen it, fix that ASAP. Watched on 4K from @secondsightfilms.bsky.social #Jacktober2025 #modernhorror #NightOwls #JackDelroy

#Jacktober Day 12, Movie 29. A #firsttimewatch. #TheMostDangerousGame was allegedly the Zodiac's favorite movie, & thus made sense as a chaser after that. This was strong, too - a taut thriller from the same team that made #KingKong 1 year later. Watched on @hbomax. #Jacktober2025 #1930shorror

#Jacktober Day 12, Movie 28. A #firsttimewatch. I'm blown away by #Zodiac. A terrifying movie about murder & obsession. Everyone gave career-best performances. Enthralling. Struggling to think of a crime move that is its equal or better, whether fact or fiction. Watched on 4K UHD. #Jacktober2025

#Jacktober Day 11, Movie 27. I had no prior knowledge of #Identity until my GF put it on the list as one of her picks. Consider me pleasantly surprised after my #firsttimewatch - a stacked 2000s cast, and going in cold is a definite plus. Watched on @netflix.com. #Jacktober2025 #2000shorror

Pretty much

#Jacktober Day 11, Movie 26. #TheWolfofSnowHollow had been on my list for awhile & kept getting bumped. Happy I got a #firsttimewatch of this in, as it's a fun werewolf whodunit. Also, it's the last film appearance by the legendary #RobertForster. Watched on Tubi. #Jacktober2025 #modernhorror

#Jacktober Day 11, Movie 25. #Villains is the kind of #firsttimewatch I find while idly scrolling through the apps. Glad I did! A #tight90 w/ a great cast, showing what happens when bad folks stumble upon worse ones. Recommended! Watched on Peacock. #Jacktober2025 #modernhorror #horrorcomedy

#Jacktober Day 11, Movie 24. An underrated #UniversalMonsters gem, I'm always surprised #WerewolfofLondon doesn't get more love. The monster makeup rocks, #HenryHull is good, and it features my favorite #WarnerOland performance. Watched on Peacock. #Jacktober2025 #1930shorror #UniversalHorror

#Jacktober Day 11, Movie 23. A #firsttimewatch. #HIM was right in my wheelhouse; it expounds upon the open secret that sports culture, at its root, is fucking terrifying. Go into this one as cold as you possibly can. Watched on @plex.tv. #Jacktober2025 #modernorror #MarlonWayans

#Jacktober Day 10, Movie 22. Another Universal #firsttimewatch, #SheWolfofLondon was not what I expected going in. It ended up more like an attempt to make a #ValLewton slow-burner. Interesting. Watched on YouTube. #Jacktober2025 #UniversalMonsters #whodunit #werewolves #1940shorror

#Jacktober Day 10, Movie 21. #IslandofLostSouls: easily the best #IslandofDrMoreau film adaptation, maybe the best non-Universal horror of the '30s. More menacing & influential than you probably remember. Watched on YouTube. #Jacktober2025 #1930shorror #WhatIsTheLaw #NoSpillBlood #AreWeNotMen

Remember, if you enjoy life half as much as Vincent Price must have, you're doing okay.

#Jacktober Day 9, Movie 20. A #firsttimewatch. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, WHAT THE FUCK, MAN. Watched on @paramountplus.com. #Jacktober2025 #Smile2 #SkyeRiley #bodyhorror #modernhorror #popstar

#Jacktober Day 8, Movie 19. A #firsttimewatch of #SMILE. Yeah, this one made my brain go BRRRRRRRR and I didn't enjoy the sensation. Fucked me up a bit. Watched on Paramount Plus. #Jacktober2025 #modernhorror
