Re-Watching Zombieland (2009)!
Road trips always need side adventures so you can keep yourself entertained until you get where you are going. Although during a zombie outbreak, every stop you make would be an adventure, so wouldn't need to see any sites, stopping for gas would be adventure enough!
Re-Watching Diary of the Dead (2007)!
I've often wondered how many filmmakers would die during a zombie outbreak because they would be too busy filming to defend themselves, or to simply run away? To be fair though, humans die daily simply texting on their phones, so we can't just pick on them!
Re- Watching Wicked Little Things (2006)!
I like my ghosts and hauntings to have some rhyme & reason. If you die in a mine, I can get that your spirit would haunt a mine. If you were not buried, then you can haunt the area where your bones are resting. Ghosts shouldn't get to go everywhere though!
Just Watched Red Summer (2017)!
A group of friends on vacation on the island of Mallorca! After a shortcut leaves them in the middle of nowhere, they happen across a man lying in the road. Helping him get home, they find it was just an act & the man's sinister family has sadistic plans for them!
Most vampires have so much free time on their hands that they've become experts when it comes to the old 'Yawn and put their arm around you move!' It takes decades or centuries to perfect it to the point where it doesn't seem desperate, it seems natural, smooth, & of course still a bit cheesy.

Re-Watching Love At First Bite (1979)!
I can only imagine how tedious it would be to live eternally, yet have to adjust to all social norms, fashion trends, dances & slang every time they change! I wouldn't want to be my grandfather's type of vampire, so keeping up with the times would be a must!
Re-Watching Slither (2006)!
Whenever someone finds a disgusting pulsating object in the woods, their first instinct is to touch it, or at the very least to poke it with a sharp stick! I don't know if it is in our nature, but we are kind of drawn to the gross & disgusting, which explains reality TV.
It's #wordsearchwednesday
Mimic (1997)
Usually when you think cockroaches you think disease, but in this case, they are the cure! Unfortunately, they become something worse than disease...killers!

Re-Watching Pumpkinhead 4: Blood Feud (2007)!
When will families learn that teenagers do the exact opposite that you want them to? Want them to avoid your sworn enemy's teenage children? Set them up on a blind date, offer free tickets to a cinema, hype them up, make it seem like you'd date them!
The best way to new SCUBA Divers comfortable with the equipment and to stop worrying about drowning is to talk about crocodile attacks, shark encounters, and other deadly sea animals! Once they are no longer afraid of drowning, you can work on their irrational fear of animal attacks!

Re-Watching Pumpkinhead: Ashes to Ashes (2006)!
To be honest, if there was a witch that could get back at greedy corporate sleazebags, they should really advertise. Get a website, network, because regardless the cost, rich business owners have been sticking it to the little guy for too long!
You would think incredibly smart kids, with amazing powers would look like they enjoy it when they use them...that's how you know they're alien children, no emotion, just glowing eyes and creepy hive like uniformity. At least with human kids, you'd be destroyed knowing they enjoyed themselves.

Re-Watching Pumpkinhead II: Blood Wings (1994)!
When it comes to revenge, it loses its effectiveness as time goes on. It's good to know that a bully or killer gets their comeuppance, but if it is after living a full life where they continued to bully or kill & profit from it...it's just too late!
It's #Tanka Tuesday!
Detective John Hobbs--The Heroic Tanka
Fallen (1998)
Police Detective,
Good at catching murderers,
Last catch killed by gas,
Learns killer is not human,
It is a fallen angel!

Re-Watching Pumpkinhead (1988)!
Perhaps if we instigated a 3-day waiting period for demon summoning, we wouldn't have so much gory monster vengeance to contend with! I know that it's your soul and all, & you can sell it as you see fit, but wouldn't it be wiser to sell it when you're not so angry?
Some people take the stairs for exercise & others can't stand small enclosed places. I personally don't take elevators because there is a slim chance that I could get stuck in one with a group of strangers, and with my luck one will be possessed by the devil, incredibly gassy, or both!

Re-Watching Night of the Comet (1984)!
I find it funny that in order to survive a rare comet's return to Earth, you'd have to be in a structure encased by lead...the very stuff that Superman cannot see through! Which means that most people that survive would be criminals hiding their activities!
Re-Watching Daughter of Darkness (1990)!
Hearing of fangless vampires makes me wonder about vampire dentistry. How do they keep their teeth intact for centuries? They must have to brush and floss vigorously! That's something they never mention when talking about living forever!
It's #MonsterMonday
Sentient Vehicles
Maximum Overdrive (1986)
Cars, trucks, vehicles,
Move on their own; kill humans,

It's #Sonnetsunday + #Limerick too!
A shy young girl is raised by her crazy Aunt,
She is sent to camp where bullies like to rant,
People start dying, what's the chance?
Perhaps she'll have a summer romance?
Something is amiss though: she won't or she can't!

Re-Watching Code Red (2013)!
I can only imagine how wartime experiments, chemicals & monsters are all securely contained until someone learns about them. Suddenly, we forget about how volatile and dangerous the things are, as long as we are the first to obtain it and within days, we let them loose!
Anyone that brings a guitar camping & plays their new ditty they've been working on, when they open their eyes at the end of their meaningful ballad, will find that their friends left so quickly their breakfast is still steaming & the only sound is cackling from the mutant clan from the tree-line!

Re-Watching Chopping Mall (1986)!
It all starts with weaponizing and automating mall security, from there it's all down hill. An A.I. Program attempting to make sense of shopping, style and mall culture? Who knows what type of violence it will enact upon window shoppers, or hanging out teens?
Re-Watching Elvira's Haunted Hills (2001)!
I can understand why people would want to live in a remote castle. Completely out of the way, little contact with people, it sounds pristine! Although remote castle owners are all crazy: but were they always crazy, or did the solitude drive them crazy?

It's amazing that people are not afraid of burrowing creatures...sure there are cute ones, but people forget about badgers, mole rats & the terrifying bilby!

Re-Watching Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (1988)!
I can only assume the witching world has the same type of people that cook without following the instructions. Adding ingredients, substituting, & figuring measuring is for suckers! Unfortunately, the results are far more damaging than tasting bad!
When they talk about a car's durability, they are usually talking about how long it lasts, how it handles the road, how the engine holds up, but never the important things like whether you'd be safe inside the car if a very large rabid dog started mauling it!

Re-Watching Sleepy Hollow (1999)!
I'm still confused how the headless horseman knows where to go & knows about all the obstacles in its way. In my mind the headless horsemen relies on his horse 100%. If you are able to knock him off the horse, he just bumbles about hitting & tripping over things!
Re-Watching Rodan (1956)!
I know that I would be the envy or the neighborhood if I could find a way to draw in giant prehistoric birds to my garden! All I need is the right feeder filled with the right food, & they'll be drawn to it! I'm thinking a freshly washed convertible filled with meat!
