Day 29: "Occult"ural Center.

I know this is not a popular opinion, but I like this movie.

This will remain on my periodic rewatch list. Fun.

I'm GenX. I've always eschewed labels, and can't define a coming out moment. I remember being a kindergartener and kissing both Joey (M) and Michelle (F). I know by 10 I told my mom I didn't understand what difference it made what genitalia people had; if you love someone, you love them, the person.

Easy to do...it's steady gray lighting and minimal dialogue.

Day 28: This Is Jeopardy. Solving puzzles to survive.

Have not seen Cube in 25 years. It holds up as a tightly written film with an ensemble cast that find themselves trapped in a giant moving metal box for some reason.

Day 27: Trancing and Hypnotizing.
Wow. This is two steps away from a Russ Meyer flick. A busty guidance counselor hypnotizes a new student at the boarding school for girls with a ginormous Transylvanian pendant.

Day 26: THAR SHE GLOWS...featuring a lighthouse.

Homophobic homoerotic art.

I probably won't watch this again, but it will leave a lasting effect on me.

Day 25: Electric Slip 'n' Slide... something sloppy/goopy.

Haven't watched this remake in long time. So much to like, although the action-packed climax of the film loses my interest a bit.

Day 24: In Your Dreams....

Day 23: Survivors? If anything walks away...

Such an original story. Such an original take. I should read the novel.

Day 22: Wreck Tangle. Watch a movie with a significant car crash scene.

I just saw Ray Wise the other night in person as part of a Twin Peaks event panel. I also like Lin Shaye. Thought this would be a good watch.

It was!

Day 21: Twinner's Circle...human clones.

Halfway through....
"Wait a minute! I *have* seen this movie! Dang it!"

I must've forgotten because of all the hooey we're expected to swallow. It's not good.

Dang it.

Day 20: Dance Dance Devolution... film containing a mutant, freak, or genetic misshapening.

Day 19: Abandoned Place...I chose Eloise, due to the asylum location and the presence of Eliza Dushku. It's decent. Love Robert Patrick as an evil doctor.

Day 18: Video Store Day!

Look, I just haven't made it over to Scarecrow recently. I do and rent there a lot! In lieu of a rental, I choose the 2nd option: watch a film featuring a video store.

I chose "The Last Video Store." 👍🏻

Day 17: The Watchening... watch a movie ending in -ing.

The Howling. I just love Dee Wallace.

Day 16: Sequelar Subtitular... a cleverly titled sequel.

I Still Know What You Did Last Summer.

#scvpsychotronicchallenge
#scarecrowvideopsychotronicchallenge

Day 15: Goes Without Saying....something with little to no dialogue.

You'd think with a title like "The Silence" there'd have been less conversation. Sad parts. Similar to A Quiet Place. Good cast.

Day 14: Shut The Face Up! Watch an edited-for-TV version of a movie.

This was difficult to find and choose, but i went with one called "Along Came the Devil." 🤷🏻‍♀️

Day12: Morose Code. Something Gothic.

The Cursed, 2021. On the late 19th century, a clan of Romani forced of their land curse it.

Day11: Dystopian Future.

2019 Spanish offering, The Platform.

#scarecrowvideopsychotronicchallenge

Scarecrow Video Psychotronic Challenge Day 10: Estimation...Decimation. Mushroom Cloudy with a chance of radiation. 💣🔥❄️🩻

Threads (1984) is to the UK what The Day After (1983) was to the US. The most traumatic TV movie / anti-nukes PSA ever.

Scarecrow Video Psychotronic Challenge Day 7: Now That's Brass (Metal... Precious or Base).

As with many films of the 2010s, I forgot that is already seen this. I like the premise and the cast. I hate the shaky cam.

Scarecrow Video Psychotronic Challenge Day 6: Squeaky Reels - 1925.

"The Monster" starring Lon Chaney, Sr....Hey, wait a minute-- this is the same plot as Stonehearst Asylum (2014)!

Scarecrow Video Psychotronic Challenge Day 5: Shrieks and Squeals.

"Berberian Sound Studio" is an avant-garde film about making a film. Specifically, a giallo - 1970s-era Italian splatter horror. Toby Jones is quietly mesmerizing.

Movie poster for "Guillermo del Toro Presents Don't Be Afraid of the Dark." A young girl child holds a Polaroid camera, looking scared, descending a staircase bathed in red light with several shadowy hands of inhuman origin.

Scarecrow Video Psychotronic Challenge Day 4: Mythical Creatures.

No one does mythical creatures like Guillermo del Toro. "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark."
