- Deadly Eyes rules my world! I would be perfectly happy watching those dachshunds-in-rat-costumes run up and down tunnels all day every day forever.
- Death Spa is so much fun. Maybe you haven't seen it for a while, or maybe you've never seen it at all...no matter your current relationship with Death Spa, please consider making it a part of your SHOCKtober 2024 rotation, thank you.
- I had never heard of Dark Mirror before someone included it on their list, and when I read the description of it they included I gasped. Made for TV? 1984? Jane Seymour as twins (one of whom is evil, natch)? How has this not been integral to my life since...1984, I guess? Do I even deserve to have a horror blog??
- A reader on Delicatessen: "Who knew dread, cannibalism, and apocalypse could be this funny?"
- I need to rewatch Dead End, it's been many a hot minute and in my memories at least it's a little gem. And who doesn't need more Ray Wise in their watchings?
- It's a bit shocking that Snyder's Dawn of the Dead only got one vote. It's always had a pretty good showing--in 2020 it received seven votes and in earlier SHOCKtobers it got even more. Hmm! I'd like to see what the faves list looks like ten years from now--tastes and trends fluctuate of course, but there's just so much damn horror coming out every single minute and viewing habits / methods have drastically changed since I started doing this...how will the beloveds and classiques hold up in the future?
Because of Criterion's Gialli offerings this month, I finally saw Don't Torture A Duckling, which, although not my favorite giallo by any means, has one of the coolest visuals: someone with grubby hands pushing stickpins into grimy waxen figurines. There's something about the way the pin squelch-pushes into the substance (because you don't know they're wax right away) that is so primally ooky -- I want some of these grimy waxen figurines.
ReplyDeleteAck! Stacie and I are seemingly the only cheerleaders for Deadly Eyes.... then again if Shocktober gets just one person to feast their eyeballs on it, we have won!
ReplyDeleteIt'll be top of the list next time, I just know it!
DeleteStacie, I know you loves you some found footage. Did yet ever see DIGGING UP THE MARROW?
ReplyDeleteIt's not perfect, but it's far more ambitious and well-made than the majority of those movies.
And it stars Ray Wise!!
I haven't! My dislike of the director's other work put me off it all knee-jerk-style. I didn't even know it was found footage! That and Ray Wise, though...I'm gonna check it out!
DeleteHow did Strangeland end up among the D's?
ReplyDelete:D Because it was submitted as "Dee Snider's Strangeland" and that was how it was listed in my spreadsheet. That's why at the beginning of this I always say it's alphabetical until it's not--sometimes when I'm posting here things change from the way I initially wrote 'em down.
