Wow, okay, can I please watch it already jeez.

King not always the best authority on what is and isn't a good movie, but holy hell I want to see this thing.

 

When Evil Lurks was almost something really special, but it really loses steam in a rather clunky second half, and I’m not sure how I felt about certain elements. Still, like others have said, the practical effects are great and some of the imagery and sequences were fantastic and just oozed dread, and it’s definitely well worth watching; thankfully, I did not find it as malicious as Speak No Evil.

 

I've seen a bunch of people mention them together; what relation does Speak No Evil have to When Evil Lurks?

Had a ton of fun doing this. These were all first time watches aside from May and Cursed. Didn't love a lot of my picks, unfortunately. Invasion of the Body Snatchers was easily my favorite of the bunch. Didn't get to the rest of the extra credit categories since I was going through my personal watchlist for October. I'd 100% do this again next year. Can't think of anything I'd change about it.

 

Currently in the middle of the book myself

read the stand over the summer and planned to watch one of the mini series but neither seems to be regarded warmly lol

 

The original miniseries is legit one of the worst things I have ever seen, and I only made it about an hour in.

 

Watched beetlejuice last night which is sort of becoming a Halloween night tradition

I’m playing Spider-Man a lot at the moment but want to continue with the Halloween series or go back to the first Hell House again

is the directors cut of hell House a good choice for a rewatch or do the extra scenes bog the movie down?

 

My October horror jams:

No one will save you
Chopping mall
Ghostbusters 2
Muppets haunted mansion
Haunted mansion (2023)
The exorcist: believer
Totally killer
Night of the creeps
Talk to me

I’ll need to go through my films from September and October to see what I did for Gore-Us.

Here’s my list for October. Ended up watching 37 movies last month!

Lol I actually watched the mini-series first and then started The Stand like a weirdo. I'm in the middle of it now, it's taking me forever.

I love Salem’s Lot and can't wait for this movie.

If anyone knows where to find the 1995 version let me know.

 

I can't recall a single thing about the first one and I thought watching the second would have it come back to me, but it didn't help at all oop

 

Christmas evil vibes baby

 

I don't know why I thought there'd be more, but it was worth seeing T2 in theaters again.


Poster is a beaut too

Plus a couple of Gore-Us picks in the second half of September. There's maybe half a dozen or so horror flicks I still want to get to (new Exorcist, new Hell House), but I will def be taking a short break in November before diving into holiday horror next month.

 

same director i believe

 

yup, still love this.

subtitles help, heh.

 

I think they have been mentioned in the same breath due to them both being ultra bleak and twisted. Christian Tafdrup directed SNE and Damian Rugna directed WEL

 

oh welp I'm dumb nevermind

anyway I felt like some Derrickson tonight and Netflix obliged with two of his I hadn't seen before. Deliver Us From Evil (not bad, a little shaky but some good parts too) and Black Phone (this was fucking incredible. instantly my favourite of his, and I love Sinister)

 

Yeah that's why I asked bc I was thinking it was the same director but then realized it wasn't. Gonna do Terrified this weekend since I loved WEL so much. Then maybe SNE.

 

Deliver Us From Evil was legitimately terrifying at times.

 

New Hell House ruled

 

So excited for this one
