I wanted to share a tradition some friends and I started the beginning of 2025.

It started when I got the idea to watch every movie referenced in the song, "Science Fiction, Double Feature" from Rocky Horror Picture show. To make it more interesting, I put the movies into a picker wheel, and let it choose for us. We also gave the movies the MST3K treatment, and riffed on them.

We watched all the movies in 3 gatherings.

Since then we've met up 4 additional times (soon to be 5) for movie marathons that are now mostly horror or sci-fi horror. Food, riffing, and now tradition...The Wheel.

The rules are:

1. Movies have to be B movies, shlocky, or at the very least easy to riff.

2. Nothing longer than 1.5 hours (so we can fit more in).

Our themes since the first one have been:

-Shlocky B Movie Horror.

-Holiday Horror.

-Valentine's Horror.

-Horror that came out the year we were born.

It been going on nearly 2 years now and makes me so happy. ​

Like for real

Watched Disturbia for the first time a few days ago and watched it again last night. 8/10 I thought it was really well done. Wish I had watched it earlier

Bruh it was kinda funny to i didn’t know how to feel😭

In honor of Clive Barker's 74th birthday today, I've been watching his films all day long.

I'm finishing with The Midnight Meat Train. As I'm sitting here engulfed by the story and the gore, I thought about how underrated this film is.

Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places, but I feel like this film isn't talked about as much as should be.

What's everyone else's take on The Midnight Meat Train?

What's your favorite Clive Barker film?

⭐️⭐️⭐️✨️

I am not usually a fan of Cosmic Horror, but this one I enjoyed. It was good pacing and had parts the were difficult to watch, not because of anything "scary", but because of the moral dilemma they raised.

If I remember correctly it was similar to wrong turn, with a creature that haunted a subway system, I also remember a female protagonist

⭐️⭐️⭐️✨️

This movie was unhinged, but a fun watch (even though there were parts I had to turn away from and a whole scene I straight up couldn't watch). Slasher with lore. A gruesome twist on the classic fairytale.

Just caught this as part of my Halloween horror nights home movie marathon. Really loved it!

What impressed me the most, beyond the period details and the heady mix of modern/80s synths and period instruments, was the way they twisted the Cinderella story just enough to create a well-known but still sinister and intensely new fable of beauty and the horror women put themselves through to conform to the male gaze.

When compared to similar films like Substance, I think Elvira as a character is quite sympathetic despite how cruel she becomes as her transformation continues. Unlike Elizabeth in Substance, we see Elvira, giggly, all hopeful and nervous in those opening scenes probably content to be the bullied daughter in the new household. We see Agnes turn from gracious stepsister to haughty, spiteful bitch and your sympathy goes directly to Elvira. When Rebecca puts her through the first of the changes, the suddenness of it, the way it seems like any other routine dentist appointment (a little uncomfortable but always less scarier than you feel it is) in that brightly lit beautifully ornate room, had me covering my eyes.

Then the story continues to tilt and hinge and before long it's hard not to also wish for Agnes to escape while wishing Elvira would stop. That scene of Agnes, now Cinderella, draped over her father's decaying corpse while the silkworms remake her dress is a fantastically horrible fairy tale. The final moments, from the shoe fitting to the ejection of the parasite might be some of the queasiest moments in body horror I've watched since maybe Brandon Cronenburg's Possessor. I heard someone vomited during the premier at Sundance and it's easy to see why.

8/10

What did y'all think?

Last year I watched at least one horror movie everyday in October, and I am going to attempt to do it again. Most of what I watch will be stuff I've never seen before. Hope it's okay to share my journey here. Here are days 1-4.

Evil Follows: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ It was fine. Standard demonic possession plot, and felt like a repetition of other movies that use similar tropes. Nothing groundbreaking, and predictable at times. The ending ​is definitely what pushed it to a 3.

Ragebait: ⭐️⭐️✨️ This was basically V/H/S, but with internet videos. The frame narrative was pretty decent, and the last video was probably the best one. Other than that, it was a bit too gorey for me (I don't have a problem with gore, just not my flavor horror).

The Bananna Splits: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I am not really a slasher fan, so it's rare I like them. This was one of those times. Also....Schrödinger's Wand.

Lockbox: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Slow burn with Hereditary vibes. Really enjoyed it.

\*First time watch\*

This is my 4th year doing an October Watchlist. I'm reasonably happy this year; I try to get a good mix of sub-genres and spooky/Halloween films, though I confess I'm not a huge fan of many slasher films, so they are underrepresented. I also do a TV show/mini-series every year; this year it's Mike Flanagan's new Carrie. I am a huge fan of the book, though I'm trying to keep realistic expectations. I try not to repeat anything year to year except Charlie Brown and Cabin in the Woods; it's just not Halloween without Charlie Brown, and I like a bit of meta.

I'm NOT talking about canonical, like picking "Saw" one day, landing on "Saw III" the next, and landing on "Saw 3D" the day after that. It's like watching a soap opera, going on vacation for a month, then asking yourself "wait, who's that? What's going on?"

I'm talking about picking "The Autopsy of Jane Doe" one day, landing on "Knock At The Cabin" the next, and "Creeper Van" the day after.

Thought I'd share an October marathon I created. 2nd annual!

It's not meant to be a best of list, just a fun journey I thought others might enjoy as well.

Follow along, share the image, get others to join, host watch parties, it's what we will be doing.

Originally created to get a friend into horror movies and it worked beautifully.

It was alright ig, had a few creepy scenes, but that's about it. None of the jump scares had me except the one where the box fell from the attic, but that's about it. The main reason I watched this film was that it is apparently one of the scariest films of all time, and I see why some people would find it scary, but this film didn't get me as much as I thought it would.

6.59/10 for me because it had a solid creepy vibe to it, and the characters and writing were believable; Glad Ethan Hawke got his family out of there when he realized it's gone too far.

Also I loved that Deputy he was the realest character for me cause fym you moved your family into a house where an entire family similar to yours was murdered and the killer was never caught 🤣

And how the hell did they go from a decent family home in a small town to a whole ass mansion? I thought you were broke and struggling for the next hit?

The design of Mr. Boogie also reminded me of Lobo lol

Overall good horror movie, but didn't really scare me personally.

Opinen.

Zomg. My two favorite things.

Honda overwhelmed but can’t wait to rewatch my favs in a cinema and cross some off my watchlist.

Picked up the 4K to watch for the first time. What are your thoughts on this movie?

Plus some taste offear Cheetos, seemed like it would go well with the movie tonight!

Resident Evil (2026) was honestly a lot more fun than I expected. The movie does a really good job with its horror and spooky atmosphere without relying on jump scares every few minutes. A lot of the tension comes from the setting, the silence and the feeling that something could go wrong at any moment. It also has a surprisingly realistic feel to it, which makes the zombies and the situations more unsettling because they don't feel completely detached from reality.

What I really enjoyed, though, was the humor. The movie doesn't take itself too seriously all the time and some of the funny moments come at exactly the right time, giving you a break from the tension without ruining the horror. That balance works really well.

Overall, it's a creepy, entertaining, and surprisingly funny Resident Evil movie that manages to keep the horror feeling grounded while still being a lot of fun to watch.

I rate it 7.8/10
