October Horror, Day 31: Scream and Scream Again (1970, dir. Gordon Hessler). When I was in first grade, I got mono, and missed a ton of school. It was a rough time, and at one point I was stationed in the living room, delirious with fever (the headlights from passing cars would glide along the walls and looked like phantoms to me in the moment). I'm not sure if my mom put the tv on, or I did. But at some point in the midst of my delirium, I'm now certain that this movie was playing on it. In my head the tv was set to Nickelodeon, and this was somehow playing on Nick At Night, but it could have just as easily been the Million Dollar Movie or something. Anyway, all I remembered from it was Vincent Price and someone being put in a vat of yellow acid, and it terrified me.

So now, present day, I figured I should give it a proper watch. And it's honestly something of a fever dream, itself. A mix of Cold War political thriller, dystopian sci-fi, and swinging 60s vampire horror. It's totally ridiculous but extremely watchable. There's even a scene where a band (apparently Amen Corner, though I thought the singer could have been Steve Winwood for a moment) sings the titular psych pop theme song.

Movie poster NOTHING WILL PREPARE YOU FOR THEHAND Black poster with a solarized b&w image of a hand appearing to crawl on the ground

October Horror, Day 30: The Hand (1981, dir. Oliver Stone). Based on its less than stellar reputation (and my childhood interpretation of the VHS box for it), l'd always assumed this was a schlocky, silly movie about a killer, dismembered hand. But I was pleasantly surprised to find it's much more than that. While Stone is consciously working with the tropes of Corman or Castle style B movie (sometimes visually in ways the call to mind his later work with Natural Born Killers), his simultaneously subverting those elements in ways more along the lines of de Palma (I'm also maybe seeing some awareness of Cronenberg, and even more likely Kubrick's The Shining). Caine seems totally in sync here, meeting the story wherever it goes. This is campy and over-the-top, but that's exactly the intent.

Hell yeah, bowl and window ledge perfectly parallel. Gonna send the man my wiping critiques

“Lol”, said the scorpion. “Lmao”.

I know, politically, Dems have been doing this since Clinton. But I feel like they didn’t start doing it rhetorically until the early 2000s.
Every time I see or hear one of them do it, it drives me insane. It’s like The Mandela effect. “Ronald Reagan?! You mean the soulless ghoul?!”

WHAT IF WE PISSED RONALD WILSON REAGAN FEBRUARY 6. 1911 - JUNE 5, 2004 ON RONALD REAGAN'S GRAVE

Really whiffed the ending here, you do not gotta hand it to him:

“Trump is burying Ronald Reagan’s vision of America as a ‘shining city on a hill.’”

Dems stop referencing Reagan in a positive framing challenge: IMPOSSIBLE

Perhaps the CEO of United could go fuck himself behind closed doors

For what gains, exactly, are you willing to sacrifice your fellow human beings (trans people), because they were mean to you online (and, to be clear, they were mean to you online BECAUSE you’re willing to sacrifice their civil rights to get a Dem politician elected)?

Letting trans girls play girls sports is not “cheating” and Newsom is a non-starter for this reason and a number of others.

LOL, any current politician you’re picturing would rather un alive themselves on camera than do anything close to what FDR did achieve during his tenure

Give us a list of which of your civil rights you’re willing to have taken from you in support of some milquetoast center-right politician whose boldest offer is a brief respite for only SOME people between the current rabid fascists and the next batch

Simpsons writers as stand-ins for Itchy & Scratchy writers: ARENT THESE JUST BUZZWORDS THAT DUMB PEOPLE USE TO SOUND IMPORTANT?

"ideally positioned for a generational paradigm shift in many large opportunities.” It’s so rad that he’s using buzzwords that were pegged as vaporous bullshit almost 30 years ago

October Horror, Day 29: Werewolves (2024, dir. Steven C. Miller). This movie is so dumb. BUT, it moves briskly and they linger on three werewolves just long enough in any given shot. The movie doesn't really wink except for the very beginning, where it also hand waves its "science", and I appreciate that. I'm not a Frank Grillo fan, and the emotional center of this movie is so transparently calculated but, again, it doesn't matter. This is schlocky but fast-paced creature action, and that is a corner of film in need of life. I'm not a fan of all the sharknado/scyfy cheese, and Werewolves avoids that as far as l'm concerned.

Benson Boone album Cover where he’s all sweaty and dirty (maybe bloody?) like jesus and holding out an American flag behind him like a cape)

Went and looked him up and this is one of his album covers, lol

One of my all-time favorites

Okay, I can see that. But you can see how it’s not 100% clear based on the wording of the OP

I think tightness would be more of a factor than weight when it comes to going up and over

Seeing studios crop their trailers to conform to portrait orientation is giving me intense sinus pain. It’s like a million times worse than pan n scan
