Keith David as Childs and Kurt Russell as MacReady in John Carpenterโ€™s The Thing 1982

Keith David as Childs and Kurt Russell as MacReady in John Carpenterโ€™s The Thing 1982

My favourite theory is that at the end when MacReady offers Childs a drink from a whiskey bottle, is that it was actually gasoline from an unused Molotov cocktail and that lets Mac know that Childs is the Thing when he doesnโ€™t react to the taste.

Drew Struzanโ€™s poster for John Carpenterโ€™s The Thing (1980).

31 movies in October #10. John Carpenterโ€™s The Thing (1982). What got me to rewatch it was Drew Struzanโ€™s recent passing. Itโ€™s amazing that he captured the essence of the movie without going literal by showing the alien (and spoiling the reveal of the practical effects). Best movie poster ever.

Shelley Duvall is an amazing actress and I think she could have given an equally quality performance without the psychological torment. She deserved so much more respect than she got it life.

31 movies in October #9. Kubrickโ€™s The Shining (1980). Firstly, the book will always be better. But Kubrick is a master of imagery and the movie is its own iconic masterpiece. His treatment of Duvall will always be a blight on the movies reputation for me though.

A shot from Bram Stokerโ€™s Dracula (1992), Lucy after she awakens a a vampyre and confronts her past suitors. She is wearing an opulent white wedding dress that she had been buried in.

The real stars of the film are Eiko Ishiokaโ€™s costumes. Draculaโ€™s long red dressing gown is so strong, it makes Oldmanโ€™s performance exude power, even as heโ€™s portraying an old man. And Lucyโ€™s wedding dress allows Frost to juxtapose her performances as a sickly human versus a frightening Vampyre.

The movie poster for Bran Stokerโ€™s Dracula (1992)

31 movies in the month of October #8, Bram Stokerโ€™s Dracula (1992). Itโ€™s a visually stunning film and the vibes are amazing. The acting overall is definitely a bit uneven. Winona Ryderโ€™s performance is better than people give her credit for. Even if her accent is a bit off, the passion is there.

The city from Cannon Fodder that is obsessed with fighting an unnamed/unseen enemy.

The other 2 stories are a completely different tone but haunting in their own ways. Stink Bug follows a man who is oblivious to the destruction that he is causing. And Cannon Fodder explores the horror of glorifying endless war and propaganda/indoctrination of youth.

The cover for the anime movie Memories (1995)

Watching 31 movies in the month of October #7, Memories (1995). I want to focus on Magnetic Rose. I love a sci-fi ghost story about a lonely ghost in space thatโ€™s looking for someone to connect to. This is an hauntingly romantic story about whether itโ€™s better to live in denial or accept the truth.

Yoshitaka Amanoโ€™s art of Celes Chere from Final Fantasy.

Iโ€™ve always loved Yoshitaka Amanoโ€™s character designs for Vampire Hunter D. I first encountered his artwork in the booklet for Final Fantasy III (actually vi) for my SNES. It was one of 3 games my family actually owned and I played it religiously and his art gave so much emotion to the characters.

Watching a movie a day for October day 6. Vampire Hunter D (1985). I honestly donโ€™t remember where I first saw this film, but it was one of my first experiences with actual anime. It was also the first time encountering a post apocalyptic world that was a mix of sci-fi and fantasy.

My favourite monologue in any film is Debbie explaining herself to the Addams, and instead of hate and anger she finds sympathy. They understand her and would have forgiven her past murders and welcomed her into the family. She could have found loveโ€ฆ and jewelry.

Day 5 of watching a movie a day for October, Addams Family Values (1993). I missed a day so I watched my favourite double feature. Joan Cusackโ€™s Debbie is an amazing contrast to Morticia. Both are strong women. The moral of the story is: you can enslave your husband, but do it for love, not money.

Anjelica Huston as Morticia talking to Wednesdayโ€™s teacher. Text added to image reads: Wednesdayโ€™s great-aunt Calpurnia. She was burned as a witch in 1706. They say she danced naked in the town square and enslaved a minister. But donโ€™t worry. Weโ€™ve told Wednesday, college first.

She really highlighted the fact that though the Addams Family is weird they are still still a family and she shows genuine concern for other people, like when she finds another student in Wednesdayโ€™s class has chosen a reporter as their hero, โ€œHave you talked to her parents?โ€

Day 4 of watching a movie a day for the month of October, The Addams Family (1991). The highlight of the 90โ€™s movies for me is Anjelica Huston as Morticia. Her acting in a corset so tight she couldnโ€™t sit down and still giving a performance that is both aloof and intensely passionate is amazing.

Day 3 of watching a movie a day for the month of October, The Silence of the Lambs (1991). God, I love the idea of an antagonist that communicates in puzzles and Anagrams. The idea that heโ€™s using the Socratic method to mentor Clarice about serial killers makes for such an interesting relationship.

Clare Higgins in the movie Hellraiser. She is looking sideways at herself in the mirror with smudged lipstick after having seduced and killed a man.

But, letโ€™s be honest. Clare Higginsโ€™ performance carried this movie. Without her incredible skill and nuance as an actor, the movie wouldnโ€™t have been nearly as enjoyable.

Day 2 of watching a horror movie a day for October, Hellraiser (1987). Itโ€™s been a while since Iโ€™ve watched it, and I always forget how visually impressive it is. Barkerโ€™s background as an artist allows him to create such impressive tableaux that fit the raw passion of the story.

From Parker and Brettโ€™s questions about bonuses, to Ripley and Lamberts exchange: โ€œThis isnโ€™t our system.โ€ โ€œI knowโ€, you can tell this crew isnโ€™t one big happy family like Star Trek, and it foreshadows โ€˜special order 937โ€™ and Ashโ€™s reveal really well.

Day 1 of watching a horror movie a day for October, Alien (1979). Obviously the design and the atmosphere are impeccable, but what I really appreciate is the economy of exposition to establish the corporate world that the characters exist and the politics and relationships of the crew.
