- Frogs, baby, Frogs! It is just the best. I'm still undecided if I'll be posting my list this year, but if I do...spoiler alert, Frogs'll be on it.
- I watched FleshEater for the first time last year thanks to its appearance on an earlier SHOCKtober list and I will forever be grateful for it.
- Two films from Lucile Hadzihalilovic in this chunk, and they weren't submitted by the same person. Obviously I need to get with it and check out her work.
- A reader on Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell: "Hammer's last Frankenstein movie feels like a cramped and weary performance of a dead ritual for the ritual's sake. I think it's more horrifying and more poignant than anything else the studio produced."
- *pushes up glasses* Shouldn't Eight Legged Freaks be Eight-Legged Freaks as it's about spiders and not eight freaks with legs?
- The synopsis for Footprints on the Moon makes it sound cool and maybe somewhere on the Messiah of Evil vibe spectrum...that could prove wrong in the end but I want to give it a go.
- Exhibit A is a pretty good (and oft overlooked) found footage film. Loved the performances and the surprise wee bit of...YOU KNOW.
