265/365–‘Frankenstein’ It wouldn’t be bluster to say that Del Toro has made the definitive Frankenstein. Reminds me of the 1973 TV adaptation with Michael Sarrazin. Might come as close to the book of any cut of the story. Beautiful and sad and thoughtful.

264/365–‘The Valley of Gwangi’ #Svengoolie Stop-motion master Ray Harryhausen gives us ‘cowboys v dinosaurs,’ an engrossing tale of a lost world in Mexico found by carnies who rope a dino-dogie and bring it back to the outside world. Shockingly moving ending!

263/365–‘Deep Red’ Was on right after the Nov #TLDI epi, so I hung around till the wee hours. Later Argento, a near perfect giallo. Has it all: black gloves, incompetent cops, fish-out-of-water detective, twist ending with a killer motivated by… let’s say ‘insanity.’

262/365–‘Blood and Black Lace’ Team Argento or Team Bava depends a lot on personal preference, IMHO. I’m TB, and this is one of his best. Most beautiful of lighting and color schemes makes this a visual feast. Bava’s killers kill for money, Argento’s for madness

260/365–‘Smokey and the Bandit I and II’ Yes, I know this is not horror, but it fit in so well coming home from the trip to Dallas and the #Spooktacular that I had to include them (and JB will likely say these films are the pinnacle of ‘the drive-in way’ so… )

259/365–‘Phantom of the Paradise’ This closed out the #Spooktacular in Spooktacular fashion. De Palma, Paul Williams, and the girl from ‘Suspiria’ update the Phantom story and give it a punk edge. Doesn’t have the songs of ‘Rocky Horror’… maybe why it wasn’t bigger

Was able to catch @realgdt.bsky.social's Frankenstein in the theater before it drops on Netflix tomorrow.
It is a creative delight to behold and the amount of depth resonating in every choice made in this film is an absolute joy to watch. Suffice to say, I absolutely loved it!
