Of the year's two Italy-set nun pregnancy horor movies, I prefer The First Omen over Immaculate.

Well also in that the aliens are super tiny where here they range from probably a bit taller than a human if they didn't love hunching over so much to significantly taller than that. And while the first like 20 minutes do hit kind of a similar vibe, being this no-dialog woman-freaks-out-as-alien-is-just-in-her-house-doing-stuff and then she just stabs it and it goes down quite easily actually, there's a good stretch after that where she forgets what the movie's called and starts wandering around town looking for someone to ask for help but ultimately doesn't even try because she is Really Not Well Liked By Her Community, and the chief of police in particular and then also turns out there's some bodysnatchers stuff going on when she decides to as for help somewhere her reputation isn't as known.I've heard that it's basically the classic Twilight Zone episode "The Invaders" minus the same twist (that said, watch the Invaders, excellent Halloween viewing).
Johnny : Prefers two or more talking foxes in the movies he's watching.Also, it only contained one talking fox.
Lars von Trier is a terrible person that every actor is falling over themselves to work with because his cruel, pretentious bullshit has been labeled "prestige" by other pretentious shitheels with influence.Watched the infamous "gird your loins for this one" art house horror Antichrist. I will say, I was really into this for the first half of it's runtime. Gorgeously and imaginatively shot, I was really into this film about the fear of the entropy of nature and the meaningless of life. But when the story is positioning itself also to talk about gender... not so much. The fact that there are two characters named "He" and "She" and the film has She basically turn into an unknowable maniac who turns to misogyny kind of makes me think Lars Von Trier isn't the guy to turn to for this. The acting is really good but the film trying to be ambiguous doesn't hide the fact that it's not good at saying stuff about women.
Also, it only contained one talking fox.
I haven't seen From Beyond but yeah, Re-Animator is a blast. Jeffrey Coombs is so great. I hear the sequels suck but that's a shame because I think you could do a whole Re-Animator series where Coombs as West is like an asshole Dr. Who. Not time traveling but a brilliant guy who solves terrible threats to the world. Except they are all threats HE causes. He's the worst and he's kind of wonderful because of it.I can't think of many horror movies that are more fun than From Beyond and Re-Animator.
But in the realm of capital "F" fun horror, Return of the Living Dead, Halloween III, Phantasm, Deadstream, House (1977) and Evil Dead II rank high.
I feel like we've been here before. I'm getting deja vu all over again!The Outing has teenagers stow away overnight in the history museum from a class field trip. The premise really cracks me up; its literally the joke from the Simpsons (No children at the museum of natural history? Am I so out of touch?).
At one point it might have been shocking for someone to sneak into a mall, bowling alley or abandoned property but it's been done so much that it's passe. If you tried to do it you'd probably have to wait in line with a bunch of other sheep. But it takes a real rebel to sneak into a museum.
