31 Days of Halloween! Day Twenty-Nine: The Nightmare (2015)

by

By now I hope you trust my taste in Horror films enough to believe me when I tell you that one of the most disturbing Horror films that you will ever see is, in fact, a documentary.

Much love to Rodney Ascher (the other Rodney A.) for crafting a flick that actually sent chills down my spine. What starts off as a study of sleep paralysis shifts gear when the participants begin to discuss “The Hat Man”. 

Good luck getting to sleep.

31 Days of Halloween! Day Twenty-Eight: Twin Peaks: The Return. Episode 8 (2017)

by

Gotda light?

We touched upon Atomic Age Horror yesterday, so I wanted to take a minute to tip my hat to one of the scariest things I’ve watched in the last decade: episode 8 of “Twin Peaks: The Return”. What this episode lacks in dialogue (it goes for nearly a half hour without a single word being spoken) it more than makes up for in disturbing imagery.

This is the water, and this is the well. Drink full, and descend. The horse is the white of the eyes, and dark within.

31 Days of Halloween! Day Twenty-Five: Ghost Stories (2017)

by

“The brain sees what it wants to see.”

It’s day twenty-five of 31 Days of Halloween and you look like you’re ready for a really good ghost story. In fact, you look like you NEED a good ghost story. Well, you’re in luck because “Ghost Stories” contains three tales of the unnatural. Also, it features Bilbo Baggins, himself: Martin Freeman.

This is a wonderfully smart-but-not-snooty Horror movie which, unlike The Hobbit Trilogy, stands up well upon repeated watching.

31 Days of Halloween! Day Twenty-Four: The Belko Experiment (2016)

by

In two hours we want thirty of you dead. If thirty of you are not dead, we will end sixty of your lives ourselves. Five, four, three, two, one. Begin.

Sometimes, during your month of Horror movie watching, you just need a thriller as a sort of palate cleanser.

If you were to combine “Office Space” with “Battle Royale” you would get a film akin to 2016’s “The Belko Experiment”.  I think I may have recommended this minor masterpiece, which was penned by James Gunn, in the past. If I did, apologies, but I’m recommending it again.

31 Days of Halloween! Day Twenty-Three: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (1949)

by

You can do more with Margaret or Helena. Or Anne or Angelina
–          Lyrics from the song “Katrina”

That didn’t age well, did it?

We should all be thankful that Bing Crosby (of Crosby, Pills, Hash, and Drugs) took a little time off from beating his son Gary in order record the songs and narration for this Disney Classic.

All snark aside, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” is a great way to introduce your kids to the joys of Spooky Season.
