Both are absolutely wild but for different reasons. With The Frighteners it’s cool to see what he was doing right before he began production on Lord of the Rings. Braindead is a completely insane gross out splatter movie that I’ve had a lot of love for since I first saw it as a teen.
We also watched Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City for my video game podcast. I really disliked it…
Also this week on Flashback 64 we released our second episode covering a duo of witch movies. This time we covered The Craft and Practical Magic, which are both interesting to say the least. Check out the ep:
The best new-to-me Spooky Season films I’ve watched so far is the newest Final Destination movie which I greatly enjoyed and Bloodstone: Subspecies II which is even better than the original that I love. I’m a huge fanperson of Full Moon Features, a straight-to-video b-film company that produced many bangers in the 90s including being best known for the Puppet Master series, and I’m slowly working on trying to watch every release they’ve ever put out, and I highly recommend the first two Subspecies films which have fantastic atmosphere actually being shot in Eastern Europe.
haven’t been watching all that much this year as work’s been a little much, but just chiming in to say I adore Braindead - I kick arse for the Lord! The party/lawnmower scene is glorious
Nobody has it as far as I am aware, it has notoriously been tied up in rights issues for a long time. It isn’t even easy to get the DVD collection anymore.
One of my favorite movies I’ve watched so far this spoopy month was TerrorVision, it was just so silly and had the WETTEST PUPPET! Pure camp, pure glory! <3
yesterday we watched korean horror film “The wailing” by Na Hong-jin. Kind of an asian the exorcism? It has a bunch of cool occult stuff from korea and japan with a bit of christianity thrown in and zombies.
