I think 90% of the people who did watch it just mistake it for Malignant

What should I watch tomorrow?
Dark Water – The original Japanese version. Which sadly, lacks John C Reilly.
Hide and Seek – This is a Robert DeNiro movie and I feel like I heard it’s a movie with a dumb twist. But not “interesting” dumb.
Family Pack – This seems less overtly Halloweeny but Netflix did have it in their Halloween section.
Cursed – It’s got werewolves. That’s about all I know.
Rottentail – A geek is bitten by a radioactive rabbit and becomes a rabbit man thing
Alone in the Dark – Man, I think my randomization has gotten me a pretty terrible selection tonight,

Haven't seen it but Rottentail does sound fantastically dumb.
*Remember that?
I have seen bits of pieces of this on cable*. I remember it having at least a couple of moments.

What should I watch tomorrow night?
Death Walks at Midnight – A giallo I must admit I’m not aware of.
Hold Your Breath – A ghost movie set during the Dust Bowl
Outside – An Asian zombie movie… at 2 hours and 20 mins? That’s an ask.
The Company of Wolves – I have seen this before but this is a pretty cool wolf movie
Sissy – I know this one came out this year and got good reviews but that’s about it.
Man-Thing – I love the character but this is generally regarded as among the worst movies based on a Marvel comic. Still, curious as to how they fucked it up.

I didn’t even know there was a Man-Thing movie, outside of Werewolf By Night, I guess

Tomorrow:
Deep Red- I just watched a giallo but dang is this a good one.
Jagged Mind – This seems more like a romantic thriller than a horror but who am I to question Disney Plus?
Apostle – Not the Robert Duvall movie. In fact, all I know is it’s not a Robert Duvall movie.
Silent Hill – Somehow I haven’t seen this but I saw the sequel IN THEATRES.
Spookies – I feel like this might be a fun bad movie. Can anyone verify?
Boogeyman – Neither the recent one nor the bizarro 80s one.

I can't but after learning a little bit about it I do feel the same way.
So the 2005 one?
Johnny Unusual
(He/Him)
Yeah
Just rewatched Silent Hill. It looks great and correctly just took the music from the game, I think. Dialogue and some of the acting is unfortunately not great and the narrative structure also just seems… video game-y in a way that doesn’t really work. For sure worth watching at least once a decade though.
Haven’t seen Deep Red in decades. I think I liked other Argento movies more but I’m sure it’s good.

What should I watch tomorrow. This is my last one of these for the season because I have a double feature lined up for Halloween.
Don’t Torture a Duckling – A Lucio Fulci giallo
Jennifer’s Body – I remember not being wild about it on my first watch but people seem to love this so I’d be happy to give it another chance.
Don’t Move – Hey, don’t tell me what to do, movie.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers – The 70s one. I saw it forever ago. Love Donald Sutherland.
The Autopsy of Jane Doe – I’ve heard this is good. An Autopsy gets increasingly creepier for Brian Cox and his son.
The Visitor – I hear this one is completely unhinged and is about space Jesus or something.

This one seems the most interesting to me.
The Autopsy of Jane Doe is solid.

New Year, New Spoopy!
I already had my first two days booked, which I'll discuss elsewhere. But here's my options for Oct. 3rd!
Godzilla, King of the Monsters – The American cut with Perry Mason
28 Days Later – Seems like a good time for a rewatch.
The Last Voyage of the Demeter – I bet it ends well.
Pulse – Don’t get too excited, it’s the American one. The American one without Joey Lawrence
A Night of Horror Vol. 1 – A horror anthology that never got a vol. 2
Son – No idea. I assume it involves someone’s son.

My instinct says to go with the King. (28 Days Later is still good though.) I can't vouch for the rest of them.
Well, except for one observation.
Well, except for one observation.
That doesn't bode well.
I don’t think it’s the best movie of those listed, but I did really like Last Voyage of the Demeter
So is it Octo-good or merely Oct-OK?
Oct-ok, my expectations were probably set too high

OK, what's on tomorrow night's menu?
Alucarda – A Dracula! It’s a Mexican vampire movie on Criterion and that’s all I know.
Alien – The classic
Five Nights At Freddy’s – The popular horror game is now a popular but not-very-good movie. At least that’s what I hear.
Pinocchio’s Revenge – Even by the metric of killer doll movies, this one looks rough.
And Soon the Darkness – This seems like a French take on The Lady Vanishes, but scarier.
A Haunted House – Suddenly Pinocchio's Revenge can feel much better about itself.

I've only seen Alien from the list above.
I love, love, love Alien and the Alien franchise. But for whatever reason, Alien has never felt like a Halloween season movie to me. I may be alone on that front.
I vote for Five Nights at Freddy's so you can tell me how terrible this thing kids love is and I can feel good about my old person snobbery.

Gonna vote with my heart and say Pinnochio
Alien is the superior movie but it’s an Easter movie

Finally got through the entire (original) Alien series. What should I go with next?
The Blob – the original! It glides, it slides across the floor!
Alien Vs. Predator – Just when I think I’m out, you can pull me back in (by voting for this)
It – The movie, not the mini-series.
Constantine – I avoided this one for years because it seemed so far removed from what I liked about the character but I feel like everyone since the take has been “true but this movie is actually really good”
Best Wishes to All – The only thing I know is it is A) a recent movie and B) Japanese
Coraline – Great movie, too bad about the writer… Plus I already just WATCHED a movie with a problematic writer at the helm.

I only know the 80s remake of The Blob. So I guess I'll just say to finish off your Aliens watching with AVP.

What should I watch next!?
The Brood – A kids movie… technically
Antlers – No idea what this is. A folk horror thing?
Saw – Ah, Cary Elwes, I always forget the films where he isn’t buckling swash.
Scary Movie – …look, it’s an option.
Body Melt – This is the movie where the bodies melt (my brain often mixes this up with Street Trash)
The Boy – I haven’t seen it but I did have the very wild twist spoiled for me. Still, I still liked Malignant even when that one was spoiled.

I know nothing of this movie but based on the title alone I think it would be either trash or magnificent trash. I say roll the dice.
