    'Horror Express', Holy Smokes, I love this movie. It's hilariously bad and hilariously great at the same time.

    A space ape is discovered in the ice. It defrosts, awakens and starts possessing and killing people on the Transiberian Express.

    Telly Savalas as a Cossack who crosses himself in Greek Orthodox fashion, a Rasputin type priest, glowing red eyes, hairy hands, it has it all.

    Never fear, it really is not as bad as you would think. Highly enjoyable. It's mostly a goddamn hoot.

    This movie may or may not have been mentioned, and if it was, it was probably me! 'The People Under the Stairs'.

    The first time I saw it over 30 years ago, my reaction was what the Hell is this? Haha, it's crazy. Its commentary on class has stood the test of time. It totally deserves its cult following. To whoever hasn't seen it, I'll leave you to it.



    Jordan Peele is re-making it.

    ETA: Ving Rhames, lol.

    Personally I love it. I remember watching it when it originally came out. I’m also a sucker werewolf movies. It has no right being as good as it is for a scifi channel movie.

    If you’ve ever seen Tales of Halloween (2015) the director did the Bad Seed segment which is pretty fun too.

    Ha, I have! With Adrienne Bartit as a friend of mine used to lovingly call her. What a shame her marriage to John Carpenter didn't last. She was great in 'Creepshow'. "Sheeps eyes, piggy friends, and no good in bed!" "Well, that's just great, Henry!" I don't really know why anyone would mix vodka with milk????

    'Forty Minutes: Police Surgeon'. I don't think I have ever seen a bigger troll job in film history. It's purposely terrible.

    Holy Hell, hilarious. The haircut of the Dr, hahaha. I honestly can't believe this garbage gem.

    I just realized that The Grove in 'Late Night With the Devil' was referencing the Bohemian Grove. Duh. I'm not sure why I didn't pick up on that when I saw the movie. It dawned on me out of nowhere is all, haha.

    'The Substance'. I haven't seen it yet, but the buzz is all about Demi Moore's performance.

    What's crazy to me is that Demi Moore took a hatchet to the face in the plastic surgery dept. recently yet no one is mentioning that, especially in regard to the movie's premise of what some women will do to stay young.

    It's bad. As in almost Kim Novak level bad. It could be she's making a statement without saying it outright.

    This is one of my new recommendations for spooky season. Tucker and Dale vs Evil is my main recommendation for scary movie times

    Tucker and Dale vs Evii, it's such a hick flick. It's so trashy. I think there is a part two in the works, haha

    In Halloween Annie doesn't have keys to get in the car to see Paul. The car is locked. She goes back to get the keys and the door is open.

    'Smile 2'. Eh, it was alright. There was this big hype about Jack Nicholson's son and all he did was drive a car and make Jack Nicholson faces.

    A bunch of gore that doesn't land.

    At first glance I thought that was Dr. Chanard from Hellraiser 2.

    I've never seen that movie Curse of the Mummys Tomb. I'm sure it's good many of the horror flicks from around that time period are. I have to watch it some time.

    When it comes to horror flicks I tend to like the 'compilation' if that's the right word? Short stories type flicks.

    I like in case they haven't been mentioned yet (highly doubtful)

    Tales from the Hood

    Tales from the Crypt the one with Joan Collins and the killer Santa and other great little stories. I also like the Tales from the Crypt full movies Bordello of Blood and Demon Knight.

    Creepshow 1 & 2

    Asylum early 70s I believe with Peter Cushing and the actor who played Jesus in Jesus of Nazareth. I discovered this one and other movies like it on the Monsters HD channel that was taken off the air. Before Monsters HD I only knew Peter Cushing from Star Wars what a amazing actor.

    Thanks to Monsters HD I also discovered the works of Vincent Price another amazing actor.

    Tales of Terror with Vincent Price and OMG Debra Paget one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. Brit Ekland in Asylum one word LEGS if you haven't watched it yet you'll know what I'm talking about when you do and if you have watched it you know what I'm talking about. WOW what a entrance.

    Just to name a few.

    Indeed! As your Title Bar attests, haha

    It's so quotable. I know almost every line.

    It is full of plot holes and flaws, but I couldn't care less.

    I love to parse this flick. I think Childs was assimilated at the end because reasons.

    "How will we make it?"

    "Maybe we shouldn't."
