Watching all the cringey AI ads during the Super Bowl, I haven't seen a strained marketing blitz like this since...just before the dot com bubble burst.

A couple of weeks ago I went to a pop-up stall run by @severinfilms.bsky.social. I had been wanting a few of these for a while, but the Severin crew took good care of me and made some recommendations to get me out of my comfort zone.

It's a whole lot of BS hearing MAGA say that they're the patriots. I’ve had it with people who say they love America but seem to hate Americans.

Happy Godzilla Day to all who celebrate

#70 The final movie for our Halloween saga. 4K disc from @arrowvideo.bsky.social

#69 Huge fan of the V/H/S series. So many great storytellers getting to do their thing.

#68 I am so excited. I love Hammer horror films but don't own many. They've been restoring their library and as soon as this 4K was announced I knew I had to have it before Halloween.

🎃💀🕸️⚰️🪦

#67 I was let down by the last few Hell House LLC movies but dang it I keep wanting to give them a chance.

#66 Starting in on our "Halloween Night" horror series properly tonight.

Anything can happen on Halloween... youtu.be/PUhuPn8_d0Q?...

The End of the Record - A Secret Galaxy Short Film youtu.be/X4AIm9GNT6E

#65 Remake night, apparently. I'm not a fan of the original Blair Witch Project. I missed the hype when it was in theaters and when I sat down to watch it a few years ago it was a slog to get through.

#64 This movie broke my heart as a kid. Looking back, it's probably because I couldn't process the inhumanity of it all. As much as I love the original, this is "my" Night of the Living Dead.

#63 We've come down with a fever, naturally right before Halloween. Need something a little light hearted as a pick-me-up.

Frankenstein Alive, Alive: The Complete Collection is now out in paperback.

#62 Out at the theater for a 35mm showing of one of my favorite movies.

#61 Saw this on Christmas day in the theater last year and loved it. Been looking forward to revisiting it.⚰️

#60 The final stretch of the spooky season starts with @grindhousefilm.bsky.social's new 4K disc.

#59 Village of the Damned kicked off the mid 90s run of me being able to see John Carpenter movies in theaters. This, Escape from LA and John Carpenter's Vampires hit at the perfect time for me.

#58 Afternoon viewing

#57 Heading out to see this tonight. I know my man @realgdt.bsky.social won't let me down. Our hearts are in the same place...in a jar deep in the crypt.

#56 We hosted a Halloween get together and this was our group watch. Perfect party movie in addition to being a genuinely great film.

Some great stuff here, folks, including some 30 Days of Night movie promo merch. 🩸

#55 One of the few low budget 90s horror movies I haven't seen. Probably for good reason. #TheLastDriveIn #MutantFam

@terrorvisionvids.bsky.social Spotted tonight on The Last Drive In with @therealjoebob123.bsky.social

#54 As far as modern slashers go, can't knock this one. They delivered the goods. #TheLastDriveIn #MutantFam

#53 Bonus late night chiller

#52 The most haunting movie I've ever seen and it's not even close.

🪦The Chaotic History of Return of the Living Dead 🧟‍♀️ youtu.be/5_1Tiy-9WF0?...

#51 Leaning in to sci-fi horror for a moment. A special effects extravaganza.

#50 Tonight's movie. I was hoping to catch this in the theater but it wasn't looking good for scheduling. @grahamskipper.bsky.social's reaction gave me the kick in the ass I needed to make it happen. 🙌

#49 2nd in tonight's double bill from 1960. Incredible movie that still looks stunning.

#48 Starting tonight with a movie that's been a big blind spot for me. Eyes Without a Face. Incidentally also my favorite Billy Idol track.

Even though I'm blasting through a lot of my physical media backlog this Halloween season doesn't mean I've stopped adding to it. Fresh delivery today. I'm treading water here folks.

#47 It's exactly what you think it is. That reminds me, I need to give Pieces a re-watch.

#46 I mostly tuned out of new horror back in the late 90s and started looking further back to discover established classics. Nearer the mid-2000's I tried giving the fresh stuff another chance and hoo boy. This was one that got me back in.

#45 I thought this would be totally run-of-the-mill but it had some genuine surprises. Worth a watch.

#44 Heading into slasher territory now with a really grimy and unsettling entry.

#43 A recent discovery for me. I have seen this poster pretty much the entirety of my horror fandom but only saw the movie in the last couple years. One of the bleakest experiences I've ever had.

Very proud of my city today. 💙

#42 From one British horror comedy to another. This one just got even funnier and hit harder after I moved to England.

#41 Bought the @terrorvisionvids.bsky.social 4K on their recommendation at a show. They always point me in the right direction and this looks great.

After Midnight! @michaelmay.bsky.social and @jesstures.bsky.social talk about Halloween and other spooky things, including the comics Vampire Hunter D: Message from Mars and 30 Days of Night. www.afterlunchpodcast.net/2025/10/393-...
