31 Horrors 2018 – The List

Here are my 31 horrors from October. What a ride.

1. Poltergeist II: The Other Side (1986)
   ~ Terrible effects. The scariest thing about these films is the supposed curse attached to the series
2. Tales of Halloween (2015)
   ~ Total trash. I love it
3. Pyewacket (2017)
   ~ Surprisingly effective for a low budget chiller
4. Veronica (2017)
   ~ Full review here
5. The Sound (2017) – UK Title ‘Paranormal: White Noise’
   ~ Makes no sense
6. Malevolent (2018)
   ~ Means well but takes a while to get going

   

   Tales of Halloween (2015)

7. Patchwork (2015)
   ~ Messy in more ways than one. Full review here
8. The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016)
   ~ Quite a sassy little indy. Witches be cray
9. Candyman (1992)
   ~ Perfection in every way
10. Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh (1995)
    ~ Not the worst ever sequel but isn’t fit to lick the boots of the original
11. Sleepy Hollow (1999)
    ~ Remember when I was madly in love with Tim Burton? I do
12. Halloween (2007)
    ~ Rob Zombie’s ‘reimagining’. I kind of dig it
13. Halloween II (2009)
    ~ Over long and a little convoluted but I do appreciate what RZ is trying to do here, especially with the character of Laurie

    

    Why the long face? Halloween II (2009)

14. Trick ‘r Treat (2007)
    ~ An absolute joy from start to finish
15. Ouija: Origin of Evil (2016)
    ~ Surprisingly good. Full review here
16. Creep (2014)
    ~ So simple yet effective. One of the best films on Netflix
17. Creep 2 (2017)
    ~ Not as good as the first but the addition of Desiree Akhavan is inspired
18. The Company of Wolves (1984)
    ~ An absolute banger
19. The Witches of Eastwick (1987)
    ~ Superb, obviously
20. Halloween (1978)
    ~ Found out that my husband hadn’t seen this before this year. Who did I marry?

    

    “Avon calling”. Halloween II (1981)

21. Halloween II (1981)
    ~ Cheesier than the first but a pretty fun time
22. Halloween (2018)
    ~ A pretty solid return to Haddonfield but it’s got lots of plot holes
23. Sinister (2012)
    ~ I bloody love this movie. That lawnmower scene, man
24. Scream (1996)
    ~ Near perfect and that opener…
25. Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998)
    ~ A pretty decent sequel with a Scream-lite flavour
26. The Most Assassinated Woman in the World (2018)
    ~ Very beautiful and very French. Full review here
27. Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)
    ~ Glorious in every way

    

    I know that feel, bro. Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)

28. The Blair Witch Project (1999)
    ~ An absolute masterclass in less is more film-making
29. Lake Mungo (2008)
    ~ Spine-chilling
30. The Village (2004)
    ~ I’ve a real soft spot for this folktale
31. Summer of ’84 (2018)
    ~ Freaky deaky

I only wish I could be as focused in all my endeavors.
