I watched #TheHouseThatJackBuilt last night. I expected to love it, as I’m really into super violent things. I enjoyed the film, but I didn’t love it and the epilogue was just weird. Still, it was pretty decent.

New books! Love naughty thrills? Get "Neon Nightmares: L.A. Thrillers of the 1980s" by Brad Sykes. Or glossy eye candy? Get Brad Weismann's "Horror Unmasked: A History of Terror from Nosferatu to Nope." From BearManor Media & Quarto. #horror #horrorfilms #horrormovies #newbooks

I watched "A Knock at the Cabin" last night and I loved it. I also watched another M. Night Shyamalan movie called "Old." It was a decent film and an interesting premise. I also saw a classic #slasher film called "The Final Terror," which was so violently 70s despite being made in 1983. I enjoyed my little marathon.

I started an absolute train wreck of a horror movie yesterday called "Him," supposedly about a killer demonic clown? I'm not sure because it never got around to the part where the clown was. I usually love supporting indie and low budget horror because the filmmakers usually go on to make great horror in the future. But this was just...terrible.

I'm enjoying Camp Cold Brook on Screambox. It’s a fun movie. Tropes galore but they feel comfortable rather than staid or boring. Good combo of “found footage” style handheld and surveillance style video with movie camera footage. It avoids the shaky-running-through-the-woods style of found footage movies with steady gimbals for handheld shots. #horrorFilms #horrorMovies #scary #foundFootage #screambox #horrorFan #horrorFam

Diana Cuéllar Ledesma has a chapter in the new "Small Cinemas of the Andes" on Peruvian horror, like the delightfully named PISTHACO (2003).

As a pretty big #NicolasCage fan, I’ve been meaning to watch #WillysWonderland since it’s release, but just never pressed play.

#scaryMovie #streaming tip no. 1. Always watch the trailer. ALWAYS watch the trailer. It can tell you so much about the quality of the movie. #horrorFilms #horrorMovies #horror #spookySeason #scary #Shudder #Screambox #AmazonVideo #Tubi #Hulu

I watched three #horrorMovies last night and I thoroughly enjoyed all three of them. Started with "There's Something Wrong With the Children," then an indie low-budget hit called "Chest" and finally "They Live in the Grey." I would recommend them to any #horrorFan who hasn't seen them. #horrorFilms #horrorFam #spookySeason #scaryMovies #Shudder #Screambox #AmazonVideo

There were a lot of Polanski pieces on his birthday last week, but only one that asked the right question: how do you relate to movies about female subjectivity when they're made by a rapist? Bright Lights Film Journal has reposted Elise Moore's thoughtful essay from 2016 on that very subject. #romanpolanski #horror #horrormovies #horrorfilms
