Day 30: Scream Knock-Off
Finally got around to watching the new I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER and why didn’t yall tell me how fun it was????

Day 29: Ken Foree
Watched PHANTOM OF THE MALL which is an absolutely wild delight.

I forgot this has that action in it—been a minute. I chose SCHRAMM which was a #firstWatch and ooooh boy even knowing about the infamous scene I was still caught off guard.

Day 28: Hates Dick
Another first watch for me, SCHRAMM. I knew the infamous scene was coming but even so I was not prepared. Worth the watch though.

Day 27: Banned or Censored
ANTROPOPHAGUS (1980), one of the infamous Video Nasties, was my #firstWatch for today's #HQHalloween.

Day 26: Queer Erotic Thriller for which I put on O FANTASMA which I actually kind of really dug even if it made no sense narratively. #hqhalloween

I missed the actual day 23 which was Hitchcock Knockoff, for which I watched DEMENTIA 13. It was fun to see a Roger Coreman Francis Ford Coppola mix. #HQHalloween

O FANTASMA for me. I’m glad yall have an episode on this one cuz I need all the help I can get trying to make sense of what I just watched. Though I still kinda really dug it?

Day 24: Religious Fervor
Finally getting around to the buzzy SAINT MAUD. And you know what, it's worth the buzz. I really dig it.

Day 23: Hates Feet
BRAINSCAN. Okay really the hates feet scene is the only part of this movie that has any gore and it happens at the end of the first act. The rest of the movie is slow and has some half-baked horror/video games are bad alarmism that it can't figure out its stance on. #HQHalloween

Day 22: Offensive/Bad Taste
NEKROMANTIC! Another #FirstWatch. The scenes(tm) that are well known are certainly worth their infamy but overall th film was more thoughtful and moving than I anticipated. #HQHalloween

Day 21: Michael Ironside
VISITING HOURS. #FirstWatch and I am stunned by how much I really liked this film and how much it sets itself apart from the overcrowded Golden Age Slashers of the time. #HQHalloween

Day 20: Surreal Fever Dream
Since I'm trying to only watch movies I haven't seen before, and this is a fave subgenre of mine, I've seen most of them! So I decided on COLORS OUT OF SPACE for the mind-altering sequence toward the end. #HQHalloween

who's looking forward to @fangoria.bsky.social Chainsaw Awards tonight!!!! Can't wait

Day 19: Unusual Creature Feature
THE FLY (1958). Love the Cronenberg version but never saw the original, so put that on. #FirstWatch #HQHalloween

Day 18: Non-English Home Invasion
ILS (or THEM in English). A French home invasion that is suspense from beginning to end. #FirstWatch #HQHalloween

I put on ILS (THEM) (2006) which was a first watch for me and fantastic. Pure suspense from beginning to end

Day 17: Fulci or Bava
Finally screening Bava's BAY OF BLOOD and it's as good as people have been saying it is. #FirstWatch #HQHalloween

Day 16: Blair Witch Knockoff
Woods? Check. Mysterious thing lurking in said woods? Check. Amateur documentarians? Check. Long shots of nothing but people's faces listening to stuff in the woods? Check. Even so WILLOW CREEK definitely is a fun take on the assignment. #FirstWatch #HQHalloween

Day 15: AirBNB Horror
Grace Phipps makes SUPERHOST entertaining stealing each scene. Another #FirstWatch #HQHalloween

Day 14: Letterboxd Bottom 500
WINNIE THE POOH: BLOOD AND HONEY. This movie deserves its bottom 500. It could have been so nmuch more fun but it went tame with the WtP commentary and themes and heavy with low-budget gore so I guess it is what it is. #HQHalloween

Day 13: Danny Trejo
Decided to keep with the #firstWatch and dig deep into a Trejo film I haven't seen, picking RISE OF THE ZOMBIES. Typical made for tv fare with very little plot, but fun to see LeVar Burton and Trejo eat up scenes together. #HQHalloween

Day 12: Hates Kids
Finally scratched VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED off my John Carpenter list. Kind of a dud in his oeuvre but still a fun romp nonetheless #firstWatch #HQHalloween

I threw on something that's long been on my to watch list, MAZES AND MONSTERS. It definitely played a role in the pearl-clutching of the early satanic panic and the "evil" influence of games like Dungeons and Dragons. Movie sucked but even in his first r5ole, Tom Hanks shines.

Day 11: Satanic Panic
Something that's long been on my to watch list, MAZES AND MONSTERS. While this movie technically isn't directly about the satanic panic, it definitely was part of the wave that influenced the moral pearl-clutching of the late 70s through early 90s. #HQHalloween

Day 10: Udo Kier

He's never been more gorgeous than this campy mess of a film. Also a #FirstWatch for #HQHalloween

Day 9: Friday the 13th Rip-Off
a #firstWatch for me, this movie has the horny camper counselors in the woods being stalked by a disfigured madman so like this might actually be a Friday the 13th movie #HQHalloween

Day 8: Hates Eyes
for this one on @horrorqueers.bsky.social #HQHalloween, going back to the 1929 surrealist silent flick UN CHIEN ANDALOU. Another #FirstWatch
