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)

A Lifetime of Cinema: a Favorite Film for Every Year I’ve Been Around
This idea looked like so much fun that I had to steal it, title and all, from Sean Munger (click here for a pic of him and me and some dude named William Nolan). Also? I’ll try not to steal all his, even though we share the same span of years, and probably had the same
Best of the Year so far: the February Post
Getting to a few of these kind of the year-after. But, man, they’re no less excellent for it: Â
Landis, Cronenberg, Carpenter, and Garris
This may turn out to be the absolute coolest thing I see all year. Not just these four in a single conversation, these four all talking WHEN they’re talking.
Best of 2016
Best movie’s a hard call, especially as I’ve yet to see The Eyes of My Mother or Nocturnal Animals or Moana or Kubo and the Two Strings. Also? I doubt I’ve seen just all that many of the award-contenders either. But I did luck into a few good theaters/iTunes rentals/Netflixes: Television of course is the
