SHOCKtober: 312-285
I don't know about you, but to me it suddenly feels like we are hurtling towards SHOCKtober's end! I am decidedly unexcited for next month (can't imagine why!), so rather than think about that I will think about these soulmate movies--each of 'em got two votes.

- ^ me, every time I saw a vote for Ma in an email
- A lot of terrific horror movies were released in 2020, and the majority of them didn't get a fair shake because of that whole pandemic thing (not sure if you remember what I'm talking about...?). They weren't released in theaters or they were plopped into the depths of various streaming services, left neglected and alone while everyone watched Tiger King. At least that's the excuse I'm using when it comes to movies from that time that I find super underrated, like the fantastic His House. It packs an emotional gut punch, features some incredible performances, and at times it's scary as heck. As HECK I say!
- A reader on Green Room: "You’ve gotta love someone unzipping a Nazi’s stomach with a box cutter."
- Grave Robbers is so much fun, a nice little slasher with sets that give me Scooby-Doo vibes.
- I have a gap in my viewing history where M belongs.
- Anyone who's been here for longer than this post already knows how much I love Hell Night and Horror Express...but if this is your first time here: Hey! I love Hell Night and Horror Express a shitton!
- Eyes of Fire has been recommended to me many times by many people and I really need to take the leap and make their dreams for me come true.
