Watching the movie Nightmares (1983). It's an anthology horror with four stories. I'm 13 minutes into story one and it's shaping up quite nicely. Too early to tell, but it's on pace to beat Ghost Town (1988) and Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things (1972) for favorite new viewing so far.

Didn't expect her tiddies as early. Very nice. And more volume than expected, (even though I've seen low-resolution stills before).

I am the Bishop of Battle, master of all I survey. ;)

Like most anthologies, that one has it's good and bad stories, but I always thought the first segemnt and "Bishop of Battle" made up for the lackluster ones.

This movie is like some foreign dude, with a very thin grasp of English, REALLY wanted to make a David Lynch knock-off.

I just finished it. Terror in Topanga and The Bishop of Battle were great. The Benediction was decent enough and Night of the Rat was shaping up nicely until the big reveal. Lol

This apartment complex in LA looks so much like one up the street from me in Riverside, I actually had to look up the filming location just to be sure lol.

This is not the weirdest roommate situation George Newbern has been in.

I think I can squeeze in a movie tonight. This one has been on my radar for years and I just haven't watched it yet. Time to end that.

The Sentinel (1977)

Watching Happy Death Day 2 U before my peacock expires. I'm told I don't need to watch the first, and I've heard this was by far better anyway.

Jessica Rothe needs to do more stuff, she's absolutely killing it in this movie.

I'm surprised to find Scott Lobdell as a writer for these movies. I didn't even know he was getting into writing movies, he was one of my favorite X-Men writers (especially his Astonishing X-Men run for Age of Apocalypse back in the day)
