I did it, folks! Over 31 new-to-me horror films watched since Oct. 1st. This and 31 full reviews are just a couple of the perks of being unemployed! (laughter devolves into sobs) 44 Hell Hole (2024) – An American fracking operation in Serbia digs up a live man infected with an aggressive cephalopod-like parasite. I … More 31+ Micro-reviews for October 2025
I’m old. By the time Stine’s Fear Street series came out, I was deep into Stephen King. I was reading big boy horror with big boy scares (and even some sex scenes!). I didn’t have time for teen spookiness! My first real exposure to Stine was through my then girlfriend’s younger brother. He loved the … More R.L. Stine’s Pumpkinhead (2025) – REVIEW
Since I liked co-directors Scott Beck and Bryan Woods’s Heretic, I decided to check out their earlier effort, Haunt. I’d read mixed things about it and knew it was about a haunted house, but that’s about it. Since I am watching as much horror as possible this month, I figured it’s a good time to … More Haunt (2019) – REVIEW
Someone in r/Horror said that they were impressed with the Tubi original film, Lowlifes. I didn’t think much of it at the time. I hadn’t really considered watching a Tubi original before this month while looking for my 19th movie to watch for the Watch 31 New-to-You Horror Films in October or Your Wife and … More Lowlifes (2024) -REVIEW
Jay Baruchel is perhaps best known as the affable friend to Seth Rogen in This is the End or the voice of Hiccup in How to Train Your Dragon. But did you know that he directed a horror film called Random Acts of Violence? He did! And it’s my 11th (of 31) film of this … More Random Acts of Violence (2019) – REVIEW
There was some buzz about Starfish when it made the festival circuit. At the time, I made a mental note to check it out at some point. But then I didn’t. I can’t really explain why though. My usual excuse of, “it wasn’t on a streaming service that I already pay for,” doesn’t work because … More Starfish (2018) – REVIEW
(putting a SA trigger warning here just in case you need it) Number 3 of (hopefully) 31 for October of 2025 is Bystanders. Another movie that I knew nothing about. I found it in Tubi’s “Horror by Women” category. You’d think that category would be a wellspring, but it’s not. Several of the titles are … More Bystanders (2024) – REVIEW
Next up for the October 31 Movies-a-thon, is Booger. If you read my last post, you might remember that I scrolled through the offerings on a couple of streaming services looking for horror movies that I hadn’t heard of before that were directed by women. Now, that’s not super sustainable because I’ve heard of A … More Booger (2023) – REVIEW
The name Noomi Rapace holds a certain gravitas even for me, someone who’s only seen two of her films. For whatever reason, I think of her as an accomplished, top-tier actor. And, she may well be. But the strange thing is this: why do I think that? Sure, she was good in Prometheus, … More Rupture (2017) – REVIEW
“Have you seen Things?” A question that started the gears in motion that (maybe unsurprisingly) ended with me watching Things. Board game night at Wolfman‘s fell through, so he asked me the question. I hadn’t. Neither had he. But he did just buy a copy and he was free, so we put on our footie … More Things (1989) – REVIEW
