Very weird old film on Prime. Inseminoid. Sci-fi horror with some schlock mixed in. FX are dated but practical so handy to see. Weird melange of Brits and Americans.

Gags the Clown was alright. It's an interesting take on the whole "clown sighting" thing that happened awhile back. Too bad it had really annoying camerawork, lots of unsubtle political/social commentary, and a kinda silly ending.

I liked Book of Monsters. Didn't care for the ending, though.

It's always nice to see Italy trying to get back into the horror scene, though, even if the movie's not great.

90% of the movie is just a how-to guide of setting up cameras in woods, and filming yourself wandering around with a rifle.

Stuck in the middle of A Haunting At Silver Falls: the Return

It's pretty crap. But I was sick of shuffling through for 15 minutes on Netflix for something I haven't seen to sound appealing, and gave up and click on the first thing I didn't see yet.

I did spy that Netflix added Candyman, so that's awesome. I had an itch for that. Unfortunately I'm focusing on new-to-me watches right now. I planned on finally breaking it up at about 31 new watches.

I told them it was your Mt. Rushmore, and they loved it.

They are releasing another double vinyl at the Egyptian Theater of the original Evil Dead. I bought that vinyl, too. As well as the Last of Us soundtrack. The Evil Dead screening intertwined with the Madman meet and greet. One dude was super bummed and had to leave the line of the meet and greet.

Also, howdy from 1428 Elm N. Genesee St., in Springwood, Ohio Hollywood, Ca. Gonna walk down a couple blocks to see the Wallace House from Halloween. Then stop in Pasadena on the way home and check out all those exterior shots from Halloween.

Interesting note. Just a few houses down (1380 N. Genesee) is the house from Christine, as well as an exterior shot in Halloween.

Now checking out 1981's Screamers

Or according to IMDB, 1979.

I hate inconsistent years.

So I just went walking down Elm St. (hehe) to find the Christine house at 1380, but the number jumps from 1400 to 1356 when I cross the street. Can't find 1380. Bizarre.
