Watched Screamtime (1983) again. Despite being a pretty cheap British anthology, it has a lot of heart. Enjoyed seeing it.

Its Troma!!
This film is set in Perry Hall Maryland. That's like 2 blocks from my house :D
Definitely one of the most awkward sex scenes I've ever seen. I couldn't look away even though I wanted to.

Often considered one of the first giallos. I was probably going to watch this later this month, just to see history start. I also might throw in some krimis if I have time (sort of a German equivalent to giallo).

I finally found, totally by accident, a movie I last watched 40 years ago or so..never knew a "lost" movie could make a person so happy, lol. It will be my last movie of the day.
I will work for viewing more tomorrow. It is a shame I need to sleep.

Jiggy,

I'm sorry you had to watch Scarecrow County. Maybe I should call you over the phone and talk it over. :P

To be honest, I was just happy to see a film made in Indiana. The story was pretty weak (and oddly psychological come the finale), but it's not been the worst thing I've seen so far this month. :P

I need to see the original version known as The Woman Who Knew Too Much. It has a different ending and this version had more comedy added and other things removed. Also I was captivated by the lead actress Letícia Román and would like to see her performance without the dubbing. Still this version was a very entertaining film.

Finished Welcome to Arrow Beach. Now that was a somewhat interesting movie. Not sure if it's anyone's vibe here, but it might be worth checking out for some of you.

No, it's not the worst, but when we reviewed on the show last year we dubbed it Telephone County since every scene involved somebody on a phone.

Glad the first Joe Bob movie is one I haven't seen. Angel (1984). Was questionable if it would be horror, but seems close enough.

It seems I always manage to find one scene that's just mind blowing. Last year with the cage lid and now I give you the Hawaiian Sleigh ride from Night Marcher II.

Well I lost all momentum I had last night. I fell asleep from exhaustion early, and did not wake until after midnight. Sigh. This does not bode well for me now. Oh well,
I shall continue on...
