The Void was pretty fun. Nice atmosphere, and didn't waste any time getting to the action.

Starting Stripped to Kill (1987). Have to admit, it wasn't on my radar at all (it wasn't on my massive list of horror flicks), but IMDb calls it horror, so fuck it - it counts.

Executive producer's Roger Corman, and listen to this totally 80's bitching opening song.

Second movie in a row where someone has been set on fire. Fun times.

Kills are lacking a bit (though first was still cool), but love the 80's aesthetic.

Watching Prom Night II for filler. I'm going to time my Howling-thon so Alli can come home to part IV after work. She loves making fun of that one so much.

Prom Night II's pretty good for filler. Superior to the first one, in my opinion.
Stripped to Kill's plot twist was both fun and unexpected. Who thought a softcore wannabe slasher would come off so decent?

Final movie of the day will be *cue drumroll*
Nightwing (1979).
Love this poster, but heard before the movie's a bit sluggish. Hopefully it comes out okay.

Clowntown seemed like a cool idea, but it's pretty poorly executed. Think of The Purge, but it's in a small town, and it's every night, and the residents stay inside from the homicidal clowns. But the execution is pretty shit.

Re: The October Challenge Discussion Thread: 2017
I considered going for that one this month, but since I already planned to watch Fun Time (2015), given the somewhat similar names, I opted out of doing such. Sounds like I'm not missing much.DancesWithWerewolves wrote:Clowntown seemed like a cool idea, but it's pretty poorly executed.

Oh, a bunch of Bible-thumping idiots (but why repeat myself?) getting attacked by vampire bats. Now that's what I call entertainment.

Yeah. I mean, if there was a better budget, then the cinematographer can easily achieve the look and feel I see he's trying to get, but the camera is crap. And the lead clown that drags the baseball bat everywhere has some presence.Jigsaw wrote:I considered going for that one this month, but since I already planned to watch Fun Time (2015), given the somewhat similar names, I opted out of doing such.

This is the type of stuff I'd love to see get remade

Another person got set on fire. Now, it was by their own doing, but I'm 3/3 today on people catching fire. All around a fun time.

David Warner (Jennings from The Omen) is pretty fun in Nightwing. One of the two compelling characters.

Re: The October Challenge Discussion Thread: 2017
Sort of strange for Nightwing to take a supernatural turn, but it's interesting, nonetheless.

Re: The October Challenge Discussion Thread: 2017
Final twenty minutes of Nightwing seem like they're going to be quite tense.
