Here's my #LastFourWatched for #LetterboxdFriday
A cropped screenshot of Letterboxd's "Recent Activity" section, showing posters for my last four film watches: from left to right, Frankenstein (2025), Werewolf By Night (2022), Werewolf of London (1935), and Pumpkinhead (1988). All of these are part of my #100HorrorMoviesin92Days challenge.

Currently seated for del Toro's #Frankenstein, which will be film no. 89. (I've continued my #100HorrorMoviesin92Days quest, even though I haven't had time to skeet it lately. But I had to post this because I am just so fucking stoked about it.)
The poster for "Frankenstein," which shows Oscar Isaac in 19th-century workclothes (trousers held up by suspenders over a white, collared shirt) standing with his back to the viewer as he surveys a desolate, leaf-strewn room dominated by an ornate circular window with clear glass panels arranged in a rosette design. In a dark corner, a man-sized glass tube glows with an unholy, green light.

A Quiet Place: Day One (2024)

#100HorrorMoviesin92Days
The poster for "A Quiet Place," whose perspective angles up from low to the ground to show actors Lupita Nyong'o and Joseph Quinn standing in the midst of a New York City street while meteors streak across the sky barely missing (and sometimes striking) the high rise buildings around them. Nyong'o, in a peach beanie and mustard yellow cardigan, holds her hands against her mouth in shock, while Quinn, in a brown business suit, delicately striped shirt, and teal tie, stares ahead assessingly.

A Quiet Place Part II (2020).

#100HorrorMoviesin92Days
The poster for "A Quiet Place," which is centered on a pensive, blonde-haired Emily Blunt, who clutches a blanket-swaddled newborn in her arms. The dark-haired Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe, who play Blunt's older children, stand to the left looking nervously in opposite directions. A bearded, ball cap-wearing Cillian Murphy, stands to the right looking resolved.

A Quiet Place (2018).

#100HorrorMoviesin92Days
The poster for "A Quiet Place," which shows a shadowy bathroom with an old-fashioned, free standing bathtub in the foreground. Over the edge of the tub, actress Emily Blunt's head and hand are just visible. She looks ill and in pain, her hand braced tensely against the edge of the tub. Through the doorway behind her, there is the shadow of a clawed creature on the wall.

Men (2022).

#100HorrorMoviesin92Days
The poster for "Men," which shows a short-haired Rory Kinner in a low-level, yellow-lit interior wearing frumpy attire--collared plaid shirt and dark tie, maroon sweater vest, and black rain jacket--and grinning at someone, his eyes obscured by a boxed, all-caps, red text block of the title: MEN.

Starve Acre (2023)

#100HorrorMoviesin92Days
The poster for "Starve Acre," which shows a cross-section of land and sky. In the upper register Morfydd Clark and Matt Smith stand on a desolate moor under a gray and oppressive sky, their clothes in muted neutral tones that almost seem to fade into the landscape. Clark is in a long skirt; Smith wears knee-high Wellington boots and holds a shovel in one hand, its head against the earth. Beneath their feet, in the lower register of the cross-section, is a nest of roots in which the bones of a hare is entangled.

House (1985).

#100HorrorMoviesin92Days
The poster for "House" (with which I was obsessed as a little girl browsing the horror aisle of the video store when my parents weren't looking), which shows a severed skeletal hand, leathery strips of flesh wrapping portions of it like a fingerless glove, floating in air to ring the bell of the door that lies along the left edge of the picture plane as if the interior of the eponymous house lies just off the edge of the frame.

In the background is a purple-toned mausoleum bedecked with a cross. Beneath the lovers, in an inset at the right, is a monochrome shot of François Hadji-Lazaro's Gnaghi, playing a violin-like instrument fashioned from the wooden planks of a coffin.

In it, a dirty-faced white man in blue jeans and a black t-shirt sits with his back against the wall of a long hallway, a voice recorder clasped in one hand. Across from him sits a video camera, its floodlight casting a line of Illumination across his legs. Down the corridor, a figure--an indistinguishable blob of green, glowing light--stands waiting.
