Hello, my darling readers! Another month is over, so let me give you a little summary of the amazing posts just to make sure you didn’t miss anything. đ
As is tradition for the spooky month of October, I spent it reviewing all things creepy, scary, and spine-tingling!
Hey, guys! Welcome to another entry for Thursday Movie Picks. It’s a series hosted by Wandering Through the Shelves, so if you want to join the party, head over to her blog! It’s pretty easy: check out each week’s topic and come up with 3 to 5 movies that fit the theme. We end the month as we began it but instead of horror movie scores and themes, we look at TV shows!
Hey guys! Time to talk about I show that I had heard a lot about. Well, I finally sat down to binge What We Do in the Shadows! It’s full of vampires so what better to watch for spooky season?
Iâve watched four seasons of this show and I still canât decide whether I like it or not. The episodes are very hit-and-miss for me. Some are hilarious (like the one with the home makeover show!) whereas others just strike me as very boring and uninspired.
Iâm not sure if itâs the format thatâs throwing me off. This is set up like a reality show where a camera crew just follows the people around and there are bits where they do little interviews. Personally, I am not a fan of reality TV and there are very few shows from that genre that I watch. While I think it is an interesting concept and it does provide some funny moments, it just doesnât always work. Simply because it doesnât always provide the comedic effect itâs supposed to. This could be because it is both the format of the show but simultaneously a joke that is repeated over and over as itâs not actual reality TV. As you can tell Iâm still very much trying to puzzle out how I feel about this show.
It’s not all bad, not by a long shot! I mean, I was intrigued enough to watch every single episode so far. And as I said, there are bits that I enjoyed a lot. I appreciate the acting as well as the casting choices. There are some nice twists in the show but I think theyâd need to make more use of some of them. However, again, I think itâs due to the format that it isnât the case. I actually think I like the most recent season (4) best so far as there seems to be the most of a continuous thread throughout the episodes. To some degree that was also the case in the other season but here it jumps out at me more and I think it helps the show. It just doesnât seem so all over the place anymore.
Hey, guys! Welcome to another entry for Thursday Movie Picks. It’s a series hosted by Wandering Through the Shelves, so if you want to join the party, head over to her blog! It’s pretty easy: check out each week’s topic and come up with 3 to 5 movies that fit the theme. Today we’re tackling a classic horror film trope: the new home!
#1 Amityville Horror
How could we do this theme without including Amityville Horror? There’s a bunch of movies in this franchise now, I literally picked the first trailer YT spit out. đ
#2 Shining
What if you move into your new (temporary) home and turn completely mad and try to murder your family? I guess that is the theme for all of these films.
Hello, hello! It’s October, you all know the drill. Time for horror movies all around. Today we’re gonna talk about a rather weird name: Willy’s Wonderland. I don’t want to say too much about it right away, so let’s just get started!
A quiet loner (Nicolas Cage) finds himself stranded in a remote town when his car breaks down. Unable to pay for the repairs he needs, he agrees to spend the night cleaning Willy’s Wonderland, an abandoned family fun center. But this wonderland has a dark secret that this “Janitor” is about to discover. He soon finds himself locked in an epic battle with possessed animatronic mascots that roam the halls. To survive, he must fight his way through each of them.
This movie really was funnier than it had any right to be. Donât get me wrong, itâs not the most hilarious horror comedy of all time that will become a new classic or anything like that. Would I watch it again? Maybe not. But itâs a decent flick.
A family road trip takes a terrifying turn when the travelers become stranded in a barren atomic zone established by the U.S. government. However, the unlucky travelers discover to their horror that the wasteland is far from uninhabited, A band of bloodthirsty mutants prowls the area, and there is nothing they like better than fresh meat.
Well, this was decent. Nothing outstanding or impressive, but your typical middle-of-the-road horror flick. I honestly donât have all that much to say about The Hills Have Eyes. It was a good one to watch around Halloween season but I donât think Iâd take time out of my day to watch it again.
