Nightmare Junkhead intro HALLOWEEN at Screenland Armour with a screenshot of BABY DRIVER's Mike Myers (not Michael Myers) mask
It's been a week...hell a month...no no a dastardly year, so I needed a break. And what better way to take a break from everything than going to the local indie theater (SCREENLAND ARMOUR) for a double feature of HALLOWEEN (1978) & TRICK 'R TREAT (2007) with good buds @nightmarejunkhead.bsky.social

That said, fuck it, gonna redo my personal budget in November to start paying for more pieces out of pocket again. We're here for a good time, not a long time.

He has a little onesie (sorry "body shirt" I think is the term) so he doesn't try to lick the surgery area & such. He's wobbly & lovey right now & I'm just glad he's patched up & back

2025 really sucks
Christopher Walken had a wild 1995, showing up in THE ADDICTION, NICK OF TIME, THINGS TO DO IN DENVER WHEN YOU'RE DEAD, yet it's THE PROPHECY that always sticks out in my mind as he primps, preens, and peacock struts his way through every scene
The rest of the movie is equally nuts and entertaining
That feels like someone took the wrong message from those "The Long Walk Treadmill" screenings

ONE CUT OF THE DEAD
It's time kids. It's time for @nightmarejunkhead.bsky.social's annual NERD-O-WEEN! They're celebrating their 11th year of the event, while also celebrating Shudder's 10th anniversary!
This year's theme is "Shudder Around The World"! 3 mystery movies! A night of shenanigans!
Ugh, so sad to have missed it!
16.10.2025 03:02 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0It will play good at home too! Just crank it loud!

Caught it as part of my remote Fantastic Fest coverage & thoroughly enjoyed the retro feel & gore on display

Been curious to revisit this film since I first saw it at Cinepocalypse in 2019. I just remember that it starts out dark & mean, before taking a left turn into some crazy & gonzo stuff.
Curious to see how it holds up.
Now Watching: BELZEBUTH
I needed something lite & fun to put on, so I'm showing my wife DEADSTREAM for the first time. She's a fan of several Twitch streamers, I'm very interested to see what she thinks!
04.10.2025 22:47 β π 12 π 1 π¬ 3 π 2THE ADDICTION is a movie that's long stayed in my head, even though I've only watched it a couple times. The flow of the dense dialogue, the lighting and b&w photography, Lili Taylor just crushing it, how Walken says "nothing" & "defecate", the repeated power dynamics. One of Ferrara's best films.

It's all bad & should go away
