In the grand scheme of decent werewolf movies, Wes Craven has blessed us with this horror/comedy. Christina Ricci stars as a protective older sister to Jesse Eisenberg, and the two get into a car accident involving a wild animal.

Dario Argento and Lamberto Bava team up and nail it in this horror tour de force. Admittedly the best movie of the week, Demons has everything you could ask for. A crisp and ambient score, a beautifully creepy setting, and practical effects to die for.

Let’s bffr here, this movie is ridiculous. Due to a wildly incompetent mistake at a psychiatric facility, criminally insane Howard Johns is released instead of John Howard.

This movie is a remake, but it doesn’t make it any easier to watch. A teenage girl is brutally SA’d after watching her friend be murdered. She manages to escape within an inch of her life and make it home.

A group of really terrible friends get together for a night that should be super chill.

By L October 17, 2023#31daysofhorror, Season 41 Comment

Jeffrey Combs & Barbara Crampton are the ultimate horror dream team & this movie is absolutely unhinged in the best way. Even if it was nothing but Dr. Praetorius’ transformation from sniggering Jordan Peterson clone with a fur rug glued to his chest into a horny, moist, graboid into a Jim Carrey Anglerfish monster, I would love this movie.
