Quick Bites: When Evil Lurks
When Evil Lurks was first released I was hesitant to watch it. Possession movies are not my favorite subgenre. Even though I heard praise for it I still held out on watching it. It took Joe Bob showing it on Nightmareathon (Joe Bob’s Last Drive In Season 6) before I actually watched it. I have regrets waiting so long.
American Horror Story Murder House
I was concerned that American Horror Story would not be able to continue being so good after the pilot episode. After watching Home Invasion, I’m not worried at all. Jessica Lange rules as Constance. And Evan Peters as the broody Tate with a horrible secret will definitely relate with angsty teens.
Quick Bites: Alien:Romulus
I was determined to go into Alien: Romulus as blind as possible and I’m glad I did. After the more recent Alien-like sequels, I didn’t go in with much hope. Seeing Fede Alvarez directing it, I got my hopes up a little. After his take on Evil Dead I thought I was in for a good ride.
American Horror Story Murder House
When American Horror Story Murder House first aired, I was so excited! It felt like the perfect show to satisfy that creepy, horror TV show itch I was missing. I was hooked from the very first episode. (Granted, some of the later seasons are hit or miss ... .I'm looking at you Double Feature!) But overall the first handful of seasons were good.
Evil Toons
Seeing the cover photo of Evil Toons would have made me so excited as a teenager. I loved slasher movies back then (I still do, but it’s different now). Add in a cartoon demon and I’m there. Let me say I don’t have high expectations for slasher movies.
Quick Bite: Abigail
Oh boy Abigail is a fun ride! I was going in with a little hesitation because the trailer felt like it gave away too much information (and I still think it did). But I’m so glad I watched Abigail. From the same directors as Scream, ScreamVI, and Ready or Not, Abigail fits right in and they are becoming the directors I look forward to seeing their new works.
Quick Bite: Tarot
I’m a little late to the game with Tarot. At first I was excited but when people started saying it was horrible, I hesitated. I shouldn’t have listened to the hate. Is Tarot a great movie? No. Is it bad? No. It’s a middle of the road, watered down, teen slasher movie that had good points and some not so good parts.
House on Haunted Hill (1959)
For the last few years this has become a Halloween season staple. As a fan of Vincent Price, this is one of his movies I can watch over and over again. House on Haunted Hill (1959) is a nice little mystery/horror that satisfies that itch for something creepy, but not graphic, and has Vincent Price in it.
Bikini Bloodbath: Car Wash
I found Bikini Bloodbath: Car Wash while trying to set up my movie list for Summer of Trash Challenge 2023. Shout out to Rich Trash on Letterboxd for setting this challenge up. The first prompt was to watch a movie with any kind of swimwear in the title. I took one look at the cast and plot and knew I had to watch it.
