#31daysofhorror week 2 episode

By L October 10, 2023#31daysofhorror, Podcast episode, Season 4

Stef (witchxpudding), L (@nocturnical), Mel (@heda_mel), & Al (@maybmockingbird) continue Ghost in the Magazine's #31daysofhorror challenge with seven new movies that range from "I'm mad about watching this" to "I'm not mad about watching this." There's no real uniting theme this week, just some absolutely terrible picks & some that were alright.

#31daysofhorror day 9: The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016)

By L October 9, 2023#31daysofhorror, Season 4

A father-son mortuary team cut into the wrong witch. This well-paced & plotted tale may get a little tangled in the details but it's a solid movie that doesn't lean into puritanical interpretations of witchcraft for a cheap scare. The cat didn't deserve that though, he was an innocent, cranky baby.

#31daysofhorror day 8: Nightbreed (1990)

By L October 8, 2023#31daysofhorror, Season 4

This movie is wildly creative & there is real vision to it but it just does not come together & ultimately we spent a huge chunk of the segment arguing over if we would theoretically fuck ourselves up willingly & become a weird monster for some good dick.

#31daysofhorror day 7: 14 Cameras (2018)

By L October 7, 2023#31daysofhorror, Season 4

Did you ever wonder what happened to Brainy from Hey Arnold? Isn't it wild that he grew up into a crusty, melted-turtle looking moist grandfather?

#31daysofhorror day 6: Flesheater (1988)

By L October 6, 2023#31daysofhorror, Season 4

Movies have different purposes. Some aspire to tell you a great story, to make you think about your own life & purpose on earth parallel to it, to delve into the great questions of our existence — some are just terribly acted vehicles for titties, not just a single pair but lots & lots of titties.

#31daysofhorror day 5: Possum (2018)

By L October 5, 2023#31daysofhorror, Season 4

This is a movie, a mood, an atmosphere — it's definitely confusing but in an artistic way that leaves you digging for symbols & meaning among intense imagery & genuinely unnerving moments.

#31dayofhorror day 4: Case 347 (2020)

By L October 4, 2023#31daysofhorror, Podcast episode, Season 41 Comment

The focus in this movie is off. It feels as if the writers room speed-listened to every episode of Coast to Coast AM in subliminal form while consuming an inhuman amount of drugs.

#31daysofhorror day 3: 1408 (2007)

By L October 3, 2023#31daysofhorror, Season 4

We continue last week’s theme of an absolutely insufferable main character with 1408, a psychological horror adapted from a Stephen King short story. & at least part of our disappointment with the film has to land on our expectations for King’s work & in some ways it’s typical of it.

#31daysofhorror week 1 episode

Stef (@witchxpudding), L (@nocturnical), Matt, & Al (@maybmockingbird) kick off the fourth season of A Ghost in the Magazine with three movies that range from pretty bad to aight.

#31daysofhorror day 2: Butterfly Kisses (2017)

By L October 2, 2023#31daysofhorror, Season 4

In theory this should be a good movie, it has all the right components — a compelling urban legend, a feasible found-footage scenario, and passable character motivations. But the characters themselves are inconsistent & fail to really compel the watcher to believe in their stakes.
