Don’t really care who wins, I just hope they don’t come THIS close to being the longest world series ever only to fall one inning short!

I still have a few more of these to write up, starting with goth Indiana Jones here.

Halloween Movie 30:
Only Lovers Left Alive (2013)

Some point in the 2010s Detroit became a sort of cinematic symbol for decay. Not entirely fair, but it did make for a number of solid horror movies... if something this elegiac counts as horror?

About as Freudian a horror movie as you can get without actually invoking Oedipus.

Well-shot low-budget Irish horror film that pulls in more directions at once than it can sustain.

What is the state of the art for live-streaming movies with a group? Watch Party? Teleparty? W2G? Twitch? Youtube?

Hypothetically, if I wanted to end my Halloween movie marathon streaming a shared viewing of the Exorcist, at midnight on Halloween, what would be the best way to do that?

Halloween Movie 26:
Weapons (2025, first viewing)

This movie rips. It's a nonlinear series of vignettes where the mystery is clearly supernatural nonsense, but it takes a little while to identify which set of weirdness would add up to this set of facts.

Halloween Movie 25:
Wicker Man (1973, First viewing)

Iconic folk-horror masterpiece best watched unspoiled if possible (unlikely) as it has a lot of fun subverting the cop thriller genre. Lee is always great.

Could maybe use more bees?

That new AI game clip looks awful, but aside from "can AI make games? Can it make real art? Should it?" -- there's just a really special feeling you get when you see the richest, most powerful people in the world dedicating nigh-limitless resources to totally eliminating your job in particular.

Under the Shadow (2016)

Light on overt supernatural elements until late in its run, the greater terror comes from forces much harder to escape than any malign spirit.

A ★★★ review of Under the Shadow (2016)
Halloween Movie 22: Under The Shadow (2016, First Watch) This movie is interesting. It's a British produced flick filmed in Farsi and set in Tehran at some point during the Iran-Iraq war in the mid 19...

This kinked-out 80s body horror fever dream isn't actually good by what you might call conventional metrics-- I'm not sure if, for me, it is able to wrap around into something that's actually kinda ... fun?

This appears to be the first 'talky' werewolf movie, and the oldest one not lost. But there's a reason The Wolf Man (1941) became the trope definer--- sadly, Werewolf fails to deliver on its potential.
