No, there are two of us.

I finished with: 35. Frankenstein (1931) 💀💀💀.5 36. Bride of Frankenstein (1935) 💀💀💀💀💀 I like Frankenstein, but it has some lulls and doesnt quite live up to its included introduction. Its far more tragic than scary or horrifying. But in the beginning of Bride when we first see the...

34. Creepshow (1982) - 💀💀💀💀 - Loved this as a kid, watched it repeatedly on HBO. Havent seen it in several years, but I picked up Shout's special edition on sale recently. The Blu-ray looks spectacular and the film still holds up for me. Its an anthology film inspired by the E.C. comics from...

Between the guy pushing the Scythe cart and the tunnel scene, sure. Whatever creeps you out counts.

33. Friday the 13th part 7: The New Blood (1988) - 💀💀💀💀 - This is the only film post part 4 that I like. It hits all of the beats that a F13 film should: Isolated location in the woods, partying teenagers, a little T&A, a few random kills before Jason gets to the teenagers, a lone survivor...

32. Midsommar (2019) - 💀💀 - Maybe my expectations were too high after all of the praise for this movie during last year's challenge, but I just didnt care for this. It was just bizarre, and not in a fun way. Florence Pugh experiences a preposterous, unexplained tragedy, wich causes her wimpy...

I finally have a proper day off with no football to sidetrack me and no errands to run. So I started the morning with a couple of fun favorites, to sort of cleanse my pallet. 30. The Cabin in the Woods (2011) - 💀💀💀💀 - One of the few movies with a "twist" 3rd act that actually stands up to...

28. Parasite (1982) - 💀💀💀 - A fun little 3Der, in a campy so bad its good kind of way. In the far distant future of 1992 a scientist escapes a lab with two parasites, one in a thermos and one in his stomach. He had helped create the parasite, but realizing it was going to be used to destroy...

Where were you able to find Monsters? I began re-watching the series a couple of challenges ago on Prime, but it was removed shortly thereafter.

25. The Wolfman (1941) - 💀💀💀💀💀 - I havent seen this since I was a little kid and barely remembered it. What a joy of a rediscovery. Everything works. A solid story, a mysterious eerie atmosphere, fantastic acting from the leads to the most minor roles. (Although having recently watched of...

24. Head Count (2018) - 💀💀.5 - This one starts with a poem warning not to sing the name HISJI 5 times. Soon enough a 20 something guy reads the poem off the internet with a group of new friends sharing scary stories while drinking. And even though he read Hisji 5 times instead of singing it...

I recorded it off TCM using DTV and it was stormy that night so it skipped a few minutes here and there. Must have missed that scene. It jumped to the creature hiding in the bushes while the dad brought the milk in but sensed something was wrong. Sounds like a cool, over the top effect, but...

23. Its Alive (1974) - 💀💀.5 - A nice family expecting their second child instead gives birth to a murderous mutant, possibly caused by a new birth control pill. I like the concept of a demented take on the "Are you my mommy?" story, but ultimately I think this was too low budget for its...

21. Ravenous (1999) - 💀💀💀💀 - A stranger stumbles into a remote military fort in the Sierra Nevadas around the time of the Mexican American war. He says he has survived for 3 months by reluctantly resorting to cannibalism. A Native American scout at the fort tries to warn the others that this...

20. Drag Me to Hell (2009) - 💀💀💀💀 - A young loan officer refuses to extend a mortgage payment deadline for an old Gypsy woman and is cursed by Lamias, the black goat. I hadnt liked any of Sam Raimi's films aside from the 3 Evil Deads. He has such a unique style that just doesnt lend itself...

Killer Klowns is a fun movie, much better than it should be. The scene with the little girl in the fast food restaurant who sees the clown outside is really creepy, in a fun way. “Why are they shooting popcorn at us?” “Because they’re clowns!” I’ve got the arrow Blu, I think I’ll have to...

17. Friday the 13th (1980) - 💀💀💀💀 - in 1982, I was 12, and we first got cable, this came on the movie channel one day right after school. My friend and I closed the curtains and doors and turned out all the lights to watch it. With all of the POV camera shots, unsettling score and the graphic...

16. Possessor (2020) uncut - streamed on hulu - 💀💀💀 - A very slow, confusing movie peppered with violent, disturbing images. A seemingly depressed assassin possesses the minds of people close to her targets to pull off the job undetected. It plays out like a Christopher Nolan film in that...

I streamed a couple on Amazon Prime this morning to tide me over until I can get back home. 14. The Deep Ones (2021) - 💀💀 - based on the writings of H.P. Lovecraft. A couple rents a vacation home in a small oceanside community, full of strange residents. The Husband is lulled in by the...

9. Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) - 💀💀💀 - I was only 5 when this came out, but I remember my parents and neighbors talking about it a lot. It would be several years obviously before I finally saw it and was kind of let down as I had built it up in my head that it had to be the most gruesome...

8. John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness (1987) - 4k disc - 💀💀💀💀💀 - a group of theoretical physics students are summonsed to an old church to investigate a large vile containing an ancient green substance that appears to have recently become conscience. For me this is right up there as one of...

5. John Carpenter's the Thing (1982) - 4k disc - 💀💀💀💀💀💀 out of 5. A couple of y'all have already mentioned this one, and even though I watched half of it a couple of weeks ago, (I was just going to sample the transfer but got sucked in), I started again from the beginning. Perfect film and...
