HM (I also watched this during October)

The Crazies
Dir. George Romero

This is one I realize I didn’t put on the daily list way too late. I would have replaced one of the Craven ones if I did notice. This movie rocked. It felt like the tone of Shin Godzilla but with a virus. Government sucks vibe

Day 31

A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night
Dir. Ana Lily Amirpour

I wanted to like this a lot more than I did. It has awesome vibes, but I needed more from the story.

Day 30

The Hills Have Eyes Part 2
Dir. Wes Craven

Maybe one of the worst horror sequels of all time. Too much time is spent flashing back to the first film, even the dog has a flashback. It sucks so hard.

Day 29

Deadly Friend
Dir. Wes Craven

The robot burps, farts, coughs, snorts, and gargles for the first 20 minutes or so. It’s insufferable, and the rest is unremarkable or bland outside of one fun kill.
October 31, 2025 at 7:14 AM
Day 28

My Soul To Take
Dir. Wes Craven

I’ve watched a lot of Wes’ films this year that I’ve never seen before. I’m convinced now that he’s one of the most hit or miss horror filmmakers of all time. His hits are great, but many are like this. Bland, boring, and bad.

Day 27

Near Dark
Dir. Kathryn Bigelow

A Tangerine Dream soundtrack, incredible vibes, and a Bill Paxton performance that’s insane (and I mean that as a positive).
October 29, 2025 at 5:15 AM
Day 26

Basket Case
Dir. Frank Henenlotter

The damn thing in the basket screams entirely too much.
October 27, 2025 at 4:02 AM
Day 25

I Know What You Did Last Summer
Dir. Jennifer Kaytin Robinson

Though it’s the best sequel (in a franchise that barely had enough of an idea for one movie), it’s not good. The motivations of certain characters are completely unbelievable. Also the survivors should have all gotten together.
October 26, 2025 at 3:47 AM
Day 24

The Hills Have Eyes
Dir. Alexandre Aja

Albeit being a more visually interesting version of the original story, it’s still not all that interesting or compelling.
October 26, 2025 at 3:43 AM
Day 23

Cronos
Dir. Guillermo del Toro

A great early directorial outing from GDT. I appreciated how gross it was allowed to get, specifically one minor mortician character.
October 23, 2025 at 4:21 PM
Day 22

The Omen
Dir. Richard Donner

Very well directed, the music is great, overall not the most engaging of horror stories.
October 23, 2025 at 4:18 PM
Day 21

Peeping Tom
Dir. Michael Powell

A very good thriller, but at the watch party we all kept calling the main character Mark “Pee-Pee Tom.”
October 22, 2025 at 1:46 AM
Day 20

Deadly Blessing
Dir. Wes Craven

Unfortunately this movie is extremely boring.
October 21, 2025 at 3:07 AM
Day 19

Shocked
Dir. Wes Craven

Cut the fat, make this less than 90 minutes, and I would have liked it a lot more. I appreciate that it got really weird.
October 19, 2025 at 11:56 PM
Day 18

Cursed
Dir. Wes Craven

This isn’t very good, and I wasn’t happy to have guessed how it ends so early into the film.
October 19, 2025 at 12:31 AM
Day 17

House on the Haunted Hill
Dir. William Castle

That Vincent Price is a very watchable actor. Also there's a fun skeleton in this.
October 17, 2025 at 11:00 PM
Day 16

Dolls
Dir. Stuart Gordon

I had a lot of fun with this one. Also it’s short as hell too.
October 16, 2025 at 11:32 PM
Day 15

Street Trash
Dir. J. Michael Muro

This movie needed a plot and I would have liked it a lot more. I did appreciate that it was very dedicated to being gross.
October 16, 2025 at 2:26 AM
Day 14

Frankenhooker
Dir. Frank Henenlotter

This movie is fucking wild.
October 15, 2025 at 1:56 AM
Day 13

Sleepaway Camp
Dir. Robert Hiltzik

This puts the camp in camp, the humor in this works (and has maybe one of the best quotes of all time in it), and is also likely problematic.

All in all it’s a good watch, and it has a really haunting last shot.
October 14, 2025 at 2:36 AM
Day 12

The People Under The Stairs
Dir. Wes Craven

I was genuinely surprised by this one, I had never heard of it before and it was very good. It’s also great to have a Ed & Nadine from Twin Peaks reunion.
