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 …

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 …

We are officially underway in Spooktacular 3.0 and things are starting to really get good. This week the fellas are taking on a pandemic darling known as WIlly’s Wonderland. With the resurgence of all things Nicolas Cage, this hidden gem is all kinds of fun. A mute protagonist finds himself stuck between a rock and a murderous pack of satanic robots with nothing but a handful of special sodas and …
