First of all, I’m wildly aware that I’m late to this party. No, this isn’t one of those “Whaaat? You haven’t seen that??” kind of movies. Barbarian came out last year but everybody went nuts for it. I remember being on TIkTok and everyone in the movie community, especially within the world of horror movies, was going nuts for this movie. It developed this shroud of mystery around it as …

I must say that this was certainly not a planned stop on my Octoberian adventure. This was more a product of circumstance. As a father of 2 I was looking for something I could count towards my progression of horror that was also safe for at least one of my children to watch with me. My youngest is notorious for “crapping out like an old fart” as my Uncle Greg …
After a lighthearted romp in a comedy horror cardboard labyrinth, I figured it was time to go with something far more traditional when it comes to spooky season. As I’ve perused the the Prime catalog a few times as of late I wanted to see what Hulu had to offer as they are typically very front facing with their endorsement of Halloween. Right on the homepage this 2023 entry was …
First and foremost I’m going to defend this selection as it falls in the category of Horror movies on Prime Video. I never really outlined what constitutes a “Horror” movie when I started this endeavor a few days ago which I suppose bears some resolution. As this isn’t really a terribly formal affair, I’m operating fairly loosely in all this. There probably won’t be a lot of conjecture as to …
I have to admit that I’ve been eager for this one to reach Disney+ for quite some time now. I was tempted to see it back in July when it first entered theaters but there were so many other films to see at the time and eventually it just got to be long enough that I pivoted to simply waiting for it to arrive on streaming. As a child I …
Today I packed in a few movies but went with this as my pick. The first I watched was just garbage. “Benny Loves You” is a steaming pile of British poo. The second was Clive Barker’s “Nightbreed” which isn’t great but is easily the best of the three movies I watched. However, I had already seen that movie. So I had to go with the other film tonight, “House”. This …
Starting off with a flick from the 70’s made me want to flash forward in the timeline to something a little more modern so we jumped all the way to 2020 with the Vince Vaughn terrifying take on a much freakier Friday than normal. This one was streaming on Freevee which is facilitated through Prime Video with a few well placed ads. I’ll admit, this is not my favorite way …
I forget when this movie officially came on my radar but I feel like it’s been more recent than not, probably within the last few years or so. This one caters to one of those more specific kinds of “fears” though not in a straightforward kind of manner. “Magic” is all about a relatively young Anthony Hopkins finding his career path as a fledgling magician who adopts a comedic ventriloquist …
Ok so I’ve got a little catching up to do and I’ve just decided to do this on a whim. Being a part of the growing MovieTok community on TikTok I’ve seen a number of people leading up to “Spooky Season” advertising different personalized versions of a 31 days of Horror. It’s probably not that hard to sus out what this means. 31 days in October leading up to the …
