31 Days of October

[greennui]

Seen a few horror ones this month but no oustanding ones so far.

[Evelyn Library P.I.]

Watched almost nothing, but did find a new fav in Girl Slaves of Morgana Le Fay. Sapphic paradise — not a horror movie at all, unless being granted eternal youth by a trustworthy domme witch and having lots of soft lesbian sex with all your compatriot lesbians is not Every Girl's Dream

[Roscoe]

Watched MEGAN, the little horror about the mechanical doll who grows out of her creators' control. Done with enough wit and intelligence to make me not entirely mind how predictable it really is.

[Monsieur Arkadin]

My wife and I have done a good job of hitting nearly a horror film per day.
We've only watched two that I found actually kind of scary. Demian Rugna's Terrified and Damian Mc Carthy's Caveat

So clearly the Damians are winning this October.

But John Grissmer's Scalpel was a standout for me too. Would not be at all surprised to find out it was an influence on Almodovar for The Skin I Live In

maniac (william lustig 1980) MARIO did you watch this



deeply disturbing. can't wait to watch maniac cop

[greennui]

The Sadist (1963) was a pretty decent cheap, gritty tension piece.

[rischka]

arch hall jr is the MAN



we didn't even use halloween names this year but i am witchka every day anyway

[rischka]

maniac cop is pretty great. ACAM

and much different from maniac!

also RIP richard roundtree as commissioner pike

some b movies

beast from haunted cave (monte hellman 1959) very unscary monster but hellman adds a lot of interesting character development, in a beat direction

it! the terror from beyond space (edward l cahn 1958) sorta proto-alien? rubber suit man creeps onto the ship and starts killing off crew members. i don't think i've seen astronauts smoking in space before? also firing guns probably not a good idea?

el charro de las calaveras/the rider of the skulls (alfredo salazar 1965) features a masked hero fighting werewolves, vampires and the headless horseman! cheap but enjoyable



the grim reaper (ron ormond 1976) is actually a Christian movie about what happens if you don't accept jesus as your personal saviour! stay for the lake of fire

[Lencho of the Apes]

He ain't headless, he just lit wrong. Very popular cult movie.

[rischka]

La noche del terror ciego (armando de ossorio 1972) aka tombs of the blind dead is better than i expected! tbh after the first half hour i was ready to turn it off. lots of misogyny. the humans are almost as creepy as the zombies. but the zombies were very creepy! and that music...

THE HAUNTING (Robert Wise, 1963)

[rischka]

currently trying to get through this weird scifi Die Nackte und der Satan (victor trivas 1959) more commonly known as the (disembodied) head (of michel simon)
