The HALLOWEENATHON - What HORROR movie(s) are you watching?

[Streetsweeper]

On tonight, Thursday 31st October.

23:05 - BBC2 HD - The Omen (1976)
The American ambassador to Britain switches kids after his wife delivers a stillborn baby, little realising that he's adopted the Antichrist.

00:35 - 4 HD - Significant Other (2022)
A young couple take a remote backpacking trip through the Pacific Northwest and face sinister events.

01:05 - LEGEND - The Howling (1981)
A wilderness psychiatric retreat holds terror and werewolves for a distraught TV reporter.

I do love The Omen, the others not so much. I know The Howling is much-lauded, but I always thought Wolfen was the best of the three 1981 werewolf movies.

Having dipped into the DVD pile, tonight’s triple-bill will be Jess Franco’s 1976 version of Jack the Ripper, S. F. Brownrigg’s demented ‘lunatics take over the asylum’ shocker Don’t Look in the Basement (1973) finishing with Hammer’s Taste the Blood of Dracula (1970) because I’ve never seen it.

I am currently watching The Substance on Mubi.

It’s like a wonderfully weird mix of a Paul Verhoeven and a David Cronenberg film.

Death returns to claim the lives of those who were meant to die but didn't in a horrible highway calamity.

23:50 - BBC1 HD - The Blair Witch Project (1999)
Three lost students become the prey of an unknown entity while researching a local legend in the Maryland woods. The footage of their trip is found on film.

01:50 - Film4 HD - A Field in England (2013)

The sequel is equally brilliant. Highly recommend.

And done.

Woah. That was an experience.

I think it could easily become a cult classic in years to come but there were moments where it felt repetitive and it was at least 20 minutes too long.

But what an incredible performance from Demi Moore. She was outstanding.

[Pearceman]

Recently watched Hell House LLC and Late Night with Devil on Shudder. Both worth watching.

Just watched Hell House LLC, thought it was very good. I see they've made a couple of sequels, so will give them a look too.

Let hope they haven’t made a sequel of that in 3w time!
