Watching Carnival of Souls. I need to get a Blu Ray copy. The times I have watched it, the sound is really uneven. But I have watched it on a shitty DVD horror compilatilatin and free Roku apps.

It's becoming a top ten film for me. Wish I had seen this when I was a little kid. Dig the spooky vibe.

David Warner is also in Waxwork (saw him much earlier this month in Nightwing) - fun character all around.

Waxwork is a fun film. Had no idea it had the guy from Gremlins (Zach Galligan) was in it.

As fun as it is, though, I'll have to finish it after work. Was supposed to watch it yesterday, but I had to go to sleep early (as I was utterly exhausted). Seems that October is finally taking it's toll on me.

As shitty as that DVD horror compilation is, and I have to imagine you're talking about one of the Mill Creeks releases, despite the low quality of the transfers, many of the movies on the release are solid.

Not sure which compilation I have. Bought it at Big Lots about 8 years ago. It has a lot of great classics. I was talking about the picture and sound quality. I need to dig it out.

Started off good, but meanders in the second half. Not done yet, but it's dragging itself.

Return of the Living Dead. It's almost over. But I remember when I first started dating Amber, and she brought movies over to watch. She brought Return of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead (OG and remake), and Night of the Living Dead remake from 1990. I knew I had "the one" lol.

Trying to watch Re-Kill...if Netflix would stop fucking glitching.

Everybody's probably using up their bandwith for Stranger Things season 2 and killing the servers.

It's finally going smooth.

So it's kinda like Starship Troopers, but not quite as much media satire?
