Second Unit
53. Kiss of the Vampire (NEW)
It's Hammer. That means it is gorgeously shot, however, while there is usually a deliberate pacing to their films, this turns into a snail's pace. A couple ends up in a small village and they are lured by an aristocratic family to vampire central. There is nothing wrong in the film, and I'd likely watch it again, however, as noted above, the slow pacing took from the overall pleasure of the screening. 2.5 out of 5.
54. Phantom From Space (NEW)
Here we have a deliciously corny 1950s flying saucer independently produced B-movie. I was thoroughly entertained. Typical storyline with a UFO crashing and the subsequent hunt for the pilot. Here the twist is the alien is invisible without its spacesuit. 3 out of 5.
55. Tales From the Crypt: Let the Punishment Fit the Crime
Catherine O'Hara stars in a fun TFTC episode playing a lawyer who is brought in on a ridiculous charge in a small town. Here in this town, they are most strict when it comes to punishments! I love the series and always have since it debuted on HBO all those many years ago. You really can't go wrong with any of the episodes, however, the Cryptkeeper has some laugh-out-loud puns in this episode, which elevates it to a 4 out of 5.
56. Tales From the Crypt: None But the Lonely Heart
Tom Hanks directs and acts in this episode! Treat Williams plays a young fella with his sights on marrying older women (WAY older) to nab their cash after he kills them. And there's a fine ending to the episode! 3.5 out of 5.
57. Halloween (2018)
I'll duck in advance. I LOVE this movie. Other than the outlier of Season of the Witch, this is my 2nd favorite film in the series only behind the original. This was my second viewing, but it held up equally as well as when I saw it in the theater. It's so good that I'd even consider watching it again tomorrow before I see Halloween Kills if not for wanting to spend more time with my wife (I have 14hr days during the week). I love the callbacks to the original film while the filmmakers still put a decided stamp of their own into the series. I'm particularly happy they decided to wipe out the entire cannon and redirect the storyline. I can't wait to see Kills tomorrow! I know some have been disappointed by Kills, but it hasn't dampened my excitement one bit. As for Halloween (2018), it's a 4.5 out of 5 for me.

The series rewatch continues! 5 out of 5.
