Re-Watching Fido (2006)!
Zombie workers? That sounds great, but what about the workers whose jobs are being taken? It's hard to complete against someone who doesn't have to be paid, doesn't need breaks, & will never complain! Their only hope is that the customers won't like the new worker's stink.

There appears to be some major differences between the mummification of a man and woman! The bandages are different, they don't appear to get a full body wrap, and the women had their hair done? Perhaps there were degrees of mummifiers, where you the rich had their bodies better prepared?

Re-Watching Chupacabra Terror (2005)!
There are many things that can assault you while on a cruise ship. Viral infections, thieving staff & passengers, salmonella from the buffets, but the one thing you would never expect would be a Chupacabra attack! Unless it's one of THOSE types of cruises!

Re-Watching Halloween Ends (2022)!
A little sibling rivalry is bound to happen in any family. Parents should try to put a stop to it before the town starts having to count bodies. They should channel that rivalry into academics, sports, or family game nights; not to see who's the last one standing!

Want to talk about fame and popularity? Hunters used get all of that, but deep down I know that one day they'd face a creature that would fight back, which is why I would have been the best gatherer my people had ever seen! What kind of trophy hunter would mount a berry picker on their wall?

Re-Watching Halloween Kills (2021)!
Angry mobs should really find a better way to address their anger than violence. They always seem to hurt innocent people, or they themselves get hurt or worse! Perhaps the leader, should teach them crochet, provide color by number, or introduce video games!

Re-Watching Halloween (2018)!
Family reunions are a mixed bag. Sometimes there can be a reason that you avoid the family for years at a time. It's foolish to assume that the time apart would get family members to put aside their differences & get along. Other times, the hatred & anger just grows!

Just Watched The Unnamable (1988)!
A hideous creature gets locked in house since the 1800s. In 1988 a group of college kids hear the story and think the house would be perfect for a hazing ritual! They change their tune as bodies turn up, they must find a way to trap the beast again!

Re-Watching Halloween II (2009)!
Speaking from a vulgarity standpoint, I'm rooting for the horse in this one. I believe it's the only character that hasn't offered up a swear of any kind! In fact it hasn't even whinnied sarcastically! Although it obviously feels superior because of that fact!

Ghost really need to work on their communication skills. Bloody messages on the walls? They have no idea how difficult blood is to clean up, plus they need to learn about empathy, some of their messages are downright mean! No wonder people don't want to acknowledge that ghosts exist!

Re-Watching Halloween (2007)!
There are some strong similarities between mental hospitals & prisons...Even though Mental Hospitals are supposed to be for healing. They both have cells, the care is borderline inhuman & although some of the staff may be OK, the rest come from the dredge of society!

Re-Watching Halloween: Resurrection (2002)!
Having Michael Myers on a reality show could only go one of two ways. New viewers would turn in to see Myers killing his way through the obnoxious contestants...or Myers would quickly get kicked off the show because he's not verbal or obnoxious enough!

When in an argument, causing the other person to burst into flame would be a sign that you won the argument. It could also mean that your brain-dead answers & unsufferable bullheadedness, made the other person so angry hellfire consumed them...this doesn't mean you won, but the argument is over.

Re-Watching Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998)!
Having a psychotic relative that shows up every 20-years to kill you, & ends up killing everyone around you, seems like a background check would flag it...unless of course it's a Private School! Long as you teach what they tell you, you're golden!

Re-Watching Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers: The Producer's Cut (1995)!
I don't know much about Druid mysticism & power, but for them to put so much time & energy to control a mass murderer in Illinois, I can only wonder if the planets aligned & foretold it, or was Illinois just convenient?

There are beings of pure evil in the world, but there are tons of complete jerks in the world. Haddonfield has both, & It's great when Evil has a run in with a jerk, but it's unfortunate that so many nice folks get in the way!

There is nothing worse than a person putting you on the spot & asking you what you think of their highly expensive, ultimately tacky, somewhat bizarre neon peacock lamp! Do you let them down & be honest? Do you have it in you to believably tell them it is great? Is your look of panic telling enough?

Re-Watching Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989)!
I have not been obsessed over a serial killer, but if someone with a psychic connection felt the killer was in someone's house...I wouldn't leave the search to the Police Department; I'd want to be there to make sure it was done right!

Re-Watching Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)!
I feel as though growing up my parents were in the know. They refused to let me wear any costume with a mask...the closest I got was a pirate's eye-patch pirate. I figured it had to do with car safety, but I had no idea what the truth held!

It's one thing to own and operate your own Torture Dungeon, but you need to be very careful about choosing the perfect Torture Outfit to wear. It should fit in with your torture devices & instill fear amongst your victims. If it causes just one giggle, your whole dungeon loses all its dread!

Attacking patients and staff at a hospital on Halloween has to be one of the worst crimes imaginable. The sick, the elderly, people wanting to help others? Next year will the killer take it a step further and attack a retirement home or a coma ward?
