•  I feel like someday the dam in my mind will burst and I will fully embrace the WTFery of Ghosts of Mars. Today is not that day! But someday.
• My affection for House on Haunted Hill will never wane. Kind of strange to have such a personal attachment to it, but hey. It's also wild that it came out *~* last century *~*
• Someday I will do...something to tackle all of the Howling films as I've only seen the first and I am so very curious about the others. I mean, The Marsupials? Your Sister is a Werewolf? Hard to believe I've never engaged. Today is not that day! But someday.
• A reader on Halloween II: "Much of Rob Zombie’s work, including his first Halloween, falls into the genre-spanning category of Ugly People Doing Ugly Things. There’s some of that here, but for me this movie plays like fucked up but sincerely felt fanfiction based on the 1978 movie. And the atmosphere Zombie creates really feels like Halloween (much more than something like Trick 'r Treat does, for example). I think this is the second-best film in the whole franchise."
• Am I the only person who had no idea that Gretel & Hansel is an Osgood Perkins film? I haven't seen it, but still.
• Forever "heck yeah" to Humongous, Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte, Home for the Holidays!
• And Housebound!
• And Funeral Home!
• And...I will stop here because otherwise I'll be heck yeahing forever.
