Aw man. Her BIG REVEAL in The Brood is indeed iconic, a classic moment in horror film history. RIP, Samantha.

13. THE UGLY STEPSISTER ('25) This Norwegian film, a darkly satiric/feminist update of the Cinderella story, is squirm-inducing and often downright disgusting (laudatory). If you liked The Substance you'll want to see this, perhaps on a double bill?

12. BLUE EYES OF THE BROKEN DOLL ('73) Fun Spanish Giallo featuring three damaged sisters living at a country estate who hire burly ex-con Paul Naschy as a handyman. But soon a string of brutal murders commences. Thought I'd pegged the killer, but I was only half-right, as usual #31HorrorFilms31Days

Those hunters were much scarier than any Wendigo, that’s for sure. And Patricia Clarkson & Jason Weber are really excellent as the wife & husband. Whatever its flaws, this movie is sitting really well for me today.

11. WENDIGO ('01) A family of three's weekend Catskill's trip goes awry when they encounter local creeps straight out of a Shirley Jackson story. But then the kid starts worrying about the titular creatureβ€”which just might not be a myth. Arty but not farty, w/ fine acting πŸ‘ #31HorrorFilms31Days

10. THE DISEMBODIED ('57) 1950s B-movie goddess Allison Hayes is the only reason to sit through this silly, stilted potboiler about a gorgeous white voodoo queen manipulating all the men around her on a tropical island. Allison is hot, movie is not.

How is it that *everything* that comes out of that dweeb's mouth sounds so completely inauthentic. It's fascinating to me.

9. FREDDY VS. JASON ('03) Freddy Kruger wants to slaughter more teens and first needs to align w/ Jason Voorhees to facilitate his plans. But Jason can't/won't be controlled, so that climactic rumble commences. It's all really dumb but sorta fun, with a sympathetic final girl.

8. THE GHOST OF SIERRA DE COBRE ('64) Martin Laudau is a successful architect who also dabbles in ghost hunting on the side. Livin' the dream! This originally-made-for-TV item is held back by pacing issues, but loaded with spooky atmosphere & sports a cast of old pros. #31HorrorFilms31Days

7. WOLFEN ('81) Albert Finney is a NYC police investigator baffled by a series of murders seemingly committed by feral animals. But there's much more going on than that. A thoughtful, well-made movie w/ explicit criticisms of capitalism & gentrification and the havoc they create #31HorrorFilms31Days

TBH I’ve never thought any of the films in the series were all that great, they’re perfectly fine but I can’t really remember any genuinely standout episodes.

6. THE PLUMBER ('79) Tale of an academic couple whose bathroom is invaded by the titular worker, who proceeds to subtly menace the wife. Naturally the husband continually disbelieves her growing fears. This highly uncomfortable study in class warfare was directed by Peter Weir. #31HorrorFilms31Days

5. THE SENTINEL ('77) Christina Raines is a model with a history of instability, a sketchy boyfriend, AND a fabulous new apartment in Brooklyn that's also the gateway to Hell (why the rent's so cheap, duh). Incredible cast in this very mid, very NYC, very 70s satanic thriller #31HorrorFilms31Days
