The Midnight Coterie of Sinister Intruders
Home invasion done the Wes Anderson way. I’d somehow missed this, until the SNL Halloween special. Can’t embed the video, but I can link it, anyway.

The Elvis Room at Bloody Disgusting
Thanks to Andrew Schwarz for taking the story, making a short film from it. WORLD OF DEATH Ep. 126.5 – The Elvis Room
Halloweenie Flicks
Say it’s four days before Halloween, and you want to cue up some Halloween happiness, kind of sample across the subgenres, try out two or three different tones. Here’s what I rec: Murder Party https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qI_DqgxNR7U My favorite horror is always closed-door horror, And Then There Were None style. This isn’t quite as twisty as Agatha
Slasher season 2
I never even reviewed the first season, did I, from when this was a Chiller show? It was fun. It was kind of a ‘grown-up’ slasher. Well, it wasn’t teens-at-camp, anyway. The victim pool’s problems weren’t “what about curfew?” or “where’s the party,” but real, mortgage-paying actual-life kind of problems. There was a wicked knife,
Skiffy & Fanty (longer interview)
That one from a few days ago was a spotlight/author kind of thing. This is a conversation about horror, with other hosts, other horror writers: https://skiffyandfanty.com/2017/10/23/338indigenoushorror/

The Films of October
Cannot cannot cannot WAIT for these two: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPh0ZM4_eOc [ here‘s Adam Cesare talking about Tragedy Girls ] As for stuff I’ll likely rewatch this month, just because they’re great and I’m in the mood: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmHSbUMVDE0 But there’ll be a lot more midst and among these, of course. Which very likely includes It again.
Sci-fi Horror
So cool. Thanks to Josh Viola for the headsup. This has a Clive Barker monster and some John Carpenter tension.
Two great tastes
that go great together. Who knew:Â [ also, I guess I don’t understand what “MoneyMarket” is. Is this a commercial? I don’t know/care. Which, yeah, means they’ve probably got me . . .]
Freddy’s Not Dead
And, are these even kind of in order? Well, not sure about the video game, I guess. Either way, this was a lot of work. A lot of very worthwhile work. Thanks: I would look up the Jason-version—I seem to remember a pretty cool one, to the tune of . . . Drowning Pool, maybe?—but
Fright Night 85
For my money, Evil Ed in wolf-form, stabbed and fallen and crawling across the floor, is still one of the creepiest ever effects (at 50sec)
Just Plain Old Supercool
You know that old Who song “Squeeze Box” — Momma’s Got a Squeeze Box / Daddy Never Sleeps at Night? Pretty sure it would apply nearly* perfectly to me, if I had this contraption: * why ‘nearly’? I kind of halfway suspect there might be some sexual connoting going on in those lyrics, that I
My Generation’s Rosetta Stone
Which, really, reminds me of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WgT9gy4zQA Which singing then reminds me of: But if I don’t stop now, at three, I’ll soon find this rabbit-hole to be bottomless.
