I’ve watched 5 horror movies in the past 2 weeks. For Halloween night I’m watching _Halloween Kills_ and _Halloween Ends_ with Jamie Lee Curtis reprising her famous role. Last 2 weeks I watched, _Scream, Fright Night, Halloween, Halloween 4 and Night of the Comet_ What are you watching for the Halloween season?. ---

I watched, “Christmas Horror Story,” over the weekend and, “From Beyond,” today while my wife was busy elsewhere in the house. Last week, I caught several episodes of **Shudder TV** ’s, “Creepshow.” ---

Wife found something called _Tales of Halloween_ on TV. Which is on right now. It’s basically a series of sketches where everybody is dressed silly then dies horribly. lots of murderous 12yos. Doesn’t seem to be any real connection between one sketch and the next; stuff just happens then the scene shifts. Very, very stupid / corny, but not played for laughs. ---

I watched _The creature from Black lagoon_. _The Wolfman_, _Dracula_ the old one. Today. Yesterday I watched _Frankenstein_ and the other day the _Frankenstein_ with DeNiro as the monster. Scary!! I think I’m done. ---

I forgot to mention, “Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse,” with Cloris Leachman and David Koechner. Dial your IQ down 10 points and it’s a scream. ---

My all-time favorite, _Arsenic & Old Lace._ I found a version starring Tony Randall, Boris Karloff, Mildred Natwick…and Tom Bosley as Teddy. I do prefer the Cary Grant version, but I’ll take what I can get in this case. ---

This past week I’ve been re-watching Ash _vs_ The Evil Dead, but tonight the traditional movie is [Night Of The Creeps](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PmPuYg6nqM). “Thrill me!” 🤪 ---

Halloween night so far has featured _Suitable Flesh_ (eh, OK I guess, and appropriately supernatural) and _Wrath of Becky_ (extremely well done, if you’re into that genre). I might just re-watch \*The Devil’s Candy", which is one of those rare low-budget indies that really delivers a wallop especially because your expectations are low, and boy does it deliver! ---

Do you have lots of wrath, Becky? This particular Becky was great with the jagged edges of broken dinner plates, scalding hot coffee, knives, grenades, and rocket launchers! She was officially referred to as “Rebecca” by the CIA when they felt compelled to recruit this deadly woman! 😀 ---

Finished _Halloween Kills_ It’s a complete slasher film. There is no suspense like the original. Myers bodycount has to be at least 25 to 35 victims in this one film. Jamie Lee didn’t do much in this film. She is recovering in a hospital bed for most of the first half. On to _Hallowend Ends_. Supposedly they finally kill this monster. Unless they want to make another sequel. 😉 They are kind of entertaining for Halloween 🎃. But the original is so much scarier and suspenseful. Your on the edge of your seat watching it. ---

Watched _Renfield_. Nick Cage was vicious and entertaining Dracula and the fights were good, but the relationship between Dracula and Renfield was a little too realistic as an abusive one. ---

> [@aceplace57](#): > > On to _Hallowend Ends_. Supposedly they finally kill this monster. Unless they want to make another sequel. 😉 Halloween Ends actually took some real risks and did something a lot different than people expected. It looked like the director wanted to go even further, but was forced to deal with the “Michael Myers situation” or whatever. Halloween Ends was divisive when it came out, but will be remembered as one of the best sequels/entries in the series. Halloween Kills? It literally was just a middle movie with Michael killing and it served zero purpose other than ensuring there were three movies.
