Giving Child's Play a first-time watch.

It's cool. I need to watch all of them. I've seen the first two, for sure. I've seen the 1st a million times, and the 2nd only once or twice when it came out. Hmmmmm.....I might watch part 2 today.

So that was me being a vague prick. I'm talking about the 1972 movie, not the 1988 Chucky one.

Goddamnit. Good one. I was thinking that there was no way in hell you haven't seen the 80s one. Lol.

Back at it with the Hammer version of The Old Dark House

Child's Play (1972) was an experience. I'm still somewhat shaken, which might sound odd.

It's like Wicker Man, Burnt Offerings, other somewhat slow-burns of that nature. In fact, the film is based on a play written by Robert Marasco, who also wrote Burnt Offerings.

It's rare to see a movie that has such an oppressive atmosphere. Child's Play may not be the best movie I see this month, but if it's not in the top 5 memorable, I'll eat my countertops.

Balls!
I hate when you are watching what you think is a new watch and it turns out to be something you have seen before.

Another new Hammer film Maniac (1963)

I'm trying to decide if I've seen Night of the Demons 2 or not. Honestly have no clue

[Jigsaw]

Going with Black Belly of the Tarantula, better known as La tarantola dal ventre nero, from 1971. One of the many giallo I've not seen, so I look forward to it.

I like that one a lot

Brooke is fuck'n fine.

I think Taylor's hair is cute, but her personality bugs the shit out of me. She reminds me of Linda in The Wedding Singer.

Thoughts everyone. On Tubi a movie is called Killjoy the Demon Clown, IMDB never heard of it, only Killjoy. So do I list it as Tubi's title, or IMDB's title? The movie I am watching now is NOT Killjoy (IMDB) so I guess I am just a little confused.

Nat might be the most bland "final girl" I've seen in a while. Everything about her is sugarless vanilla.

So I looked this up, and it seems to be Killjoy 3 (2010). Tubi has the wrong title and year, but the length and cast match up.

Jennifer's Body revisit

[DancesWithWerewolves]

Went onto Ghoulies 1 and 2 after.

Ghoulies 2 is so much better. Still schlock, but very enjoyable, stronger setting and plot, and hell, Royal Dano might be giving the best performance of his long career here, he's excellent as the drunk uncle.

Thank you, that was very helpful!

I just have such a soft spot for the 1st one. I love the characters and the humor.
