@republicandalek.bsky.socialWELL... 'CHILD'S PLAY 3' WAS A BIT OF AN ANTICLIMAX. CONTINUES THE ODD TREND OF HUMANS IN THESE MOVIES SOMEHOW FAILING TO NOTICE ALL THE CORPSES PILING UP JUST BECAUSE THEY DON'T BELIEVE A KILLER DOLL IS MAKING SAID CORPSES - SEEMS LIKE THE CORPSES WOULD STILL MATTER!
ALAS, NO.
@republicandalek.bsky.socialTONIGHT'S #61FILMSOFHALLOWEEN FEATURE IS 'CHILD'S PLAY 3', WHICH MAY NOT COUNT FOR SEQUEL POINTS (BECAUSE CHILD'S PLAY 1 WAS 2024), BUT COUNTS FOR DALEK COMPLETIONISM!
ALSO I GATHER FOR BEING LAST MOVIE BEFORE THEY DITCH THE STARTING PREMISE AND FOCUS ENTIRELY ON THE SASSY MURDER DOLL.
#FILM21 !
@republicandalek.bsky.socialTOBY THE DEMON FOX WAS BACK LAST NIGHT! JUST BEFORE THE INUNDATION.
ALSO, MOVIES. THEY EXIST. SO #FILM20 OF #61FILMSOFHALLOWEEN WAS AN INITIALLY INTRIGUING SHORT THAT ULTIMATELY DIDN'T GO VERY FAR, "PROCESSING", FROM THE TUBE OF YOU. OR IS IT THE TUBE OF ME?!
@republicandalek.bsky.social@kjaycee.bsky.social FUN NOT #61FILMSOFHALLOWEEN FACT: AUTONS SPENT AN HOUR AND A HALF IN DRIZZLE FRIDAY SETTING UP A NEW SMART BIRD FEEDER FOR THE SAUCER OUT IN THE BACKLOT, WHICH IS NOW GETTING A *SERIOUS* STRESS TEST FROM THIS STORM.
THE HORROR!... OF WONDERING IF THE ELECTRONICS WILL SURVIVE!
@republicandalek.bsky.social@kjaycee.bsky.social 'REASONS' YOU SAY! HMM...
MEANWHILE, HAD A BIT OF SPARE TIME WHILE THE RAINPOCALYPSE HIT THE SAUCER, HOVERED OVER TO YOUTUBE FOR SOMETHING... VERY STRANGE INDEED.
#FILM19 OF #61FILMSOFHALLOWEEN IS 'RHYME OR DIE'
@republicandalek.bsky.socialAND THEN YOU GET INTO THE ISSUE OF CROSSOVERS THAT HAVE CROSSOVER SEQUELS! LIKE THE... *SHUDDER*... 'ALIEN VS PREDATOR' FILMS.
ARE THOSE 'ALIEN' SEQUELS? 'PREDATOR' SEQUELS? ONLY IN A SEPARATE 'AVP' FRANCHISE? ALL OF THE ABOVE?!
OH... IF EITHER OF THEM WERE ANY GOOD...
@republicandalek.bsky.social@kjaycee.bsky.social FOR #FILM17 I HOVERED AS FAR AS I COULD IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND GRABBED A YOUTUBE SHORT FROM LATE JULY. AND IT'S BETTER! NOT MY FAVORITE THING ON EARTH, BUT SO MUCH BETTER!
SO TODAY'S ENTRY FOR #61FILMSOFHALLOWEEN WAS 'THE CONDUIT'
@republicandalek.bsky.social@kjaycee.bsky.social CHARACTERS DO NOT SPEAK LIKE ANY SENTIENT LIFE IN THE GALAXY! ENTIRE MOVIE IS ALMOST UNWATCHABLY DARK! SOMETIMES THEY INTENTIONALLY MAKE THINGS HARD TO SEE, LIKE DARKENING THE STOCK FOOTAGE, SEEMINGLY SO IT'S HARDER TO TELL IT'S NOT THEIR CHARACTERS/MOVIE!
@republicandalek.bsky.socialTHIS MOVIE IS ONE OF THE MOST ABSURDLY LAZY THINGS YOU'VE EVER SEEN! IT CRIBS FOOTAGE FROM CORMAN'S POE MOVIES (BLATANTLY, PRESUMABLY ROGER GOT PAID THOUGH). THE DIALOGUE FEELS LIKE SOMETHING FROM 'THE SCARY DOOR' ON FUTURAMA! BUT THE MARKETING HISTORY DOES A DALEK PROUD...
@republicandalek.bsky.socialWELL TODAY KERBLAM! PRIME OFFERED A SLEW OF OPTIONS, BUT FOR REASONS KNOWN ONLY TO THE CRUEL UNIVERSE, WE WENT WITH 'GALLERY OF HORROR', A 1967 ANTHOLOGY HOSTED BY JOHN CARRADINE CASHING A CHECK. APPARENTLY MEANT TO BE A BLATANT RIPOFF OF 'DR. TERROR'S HOUSE OF HORRORS'!
@republicandalek.bsky.social@kjaycee.bsky.social TODAY! #FILM15 IS FROM KERBLAM! PRIME, WHICH SEEMS TO BE PUTTING UP SOME VINTAGE VINCENT PRICE FOR THE SPOOKY SEASON. IN ADDITION TO JOE BOB AND DARCY'S FAVORITE PRICE NOIR, 'LAURA', MINIONS SPOTTED 'THE MAD MAGICIAN', A 1954 FOLLOW-UP TO 'HOUSE OF WAX'.
@republicandalek.bsky.social@kjaycee.bsky.social MEANWHILE I HAD A BUSY DAY OF HIJINKS SO #FILM14 WAS JUST THE LAST, AND STILL VERY CONFUSING AND ULTIMATELY JUST... ODD... DEADHOUSE DARK SHORT, 'MY EMPIRE OF DIRT'.
COME FOR THE HOARDING! STAY FOR THE... ATTACK SKELETON GHOST? WAS THAT IT?
@republicandalek.bsky.social@kjaycee.bsky.social GHOST TRAINS! SEEM TO BE A LOT OF THOSE. FAR FEWER ESCALATORS OF DEATH IN SPOOKY MEDIA. AND HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A SPOOKY PEOPLE MOVER MOVIE? OVERSIGHT!!
@republicandalek.bsky.social@kjaycee.bsky.social ALSO, #FILM13! KEEPING UP AUSSIE WEIRDNESS WITH THE 'MYSTERY BOX' EPISODE OF 'DEADHOUSE DARK'. VERY CONFUSED! ARE THESE ALL TIED TOGETHER? DESPITE THE CONTRADICTIONS? IF SO THAT JUST RAISES FURTHER QUESTIONS! SO MANY QUESTIONS! WHO OR WHAT IS HAPPENIIIIIING?
@republicandalek.bsky.social@kjaycee.bsky.social I KEEP FORGETTING TO MENTION: MINIONS OBTAINED THAT GLASS NICKEL 'JACK THE RIPPER' PIZZA RECENTLY AND IT WAS PRETTY GOOD! YOU WILL PROBABLY WANT YOUR OWN SRIRACHA ON THE SIDE AS WELL, BUT OVERALL A PIZZA WORTH PLANNING A MOVIE AROUND!
@republicandalek.bsky.social@kjaycee.bsky.social WELL I *TRIED* TO WATCH 'PHANTOM OF 10,000 LEAGUES' FOR #FILM13 OF #61FILMSOFHALLOWEEN ONLY TO REALIZE I HAD ALREADY WATCHED THIS VERY FORGETTABLE CREATURE FEATURE - TWO YEARS AGO - FOR A PREVIOUS #61FILMS.
SO NOW ON TO FIND SOMETHING NEW. AND HOPEFULLY MORE MEMORABLE!
@republicandalek.bsky.socialWELL, *I* SORT OF REGRET WATCHING THE 'A TANGLED WEB WE WEAVE' EPISODE OF 'DEADHOUSE DARK', BUT TOO LATE NOW! WHAT THE DAVROS WAS THAT?!
@republicandalek.bsky.social@kjaycee.bsky.social THAT IS WHY THE 'PAUSE BUTTON' WAS INVENTED! AT LEAST FOR JOE BOB!
@republicandalek.bsky.social@kjaycee.bsky.social ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT - SO, 'THE PROPHECY'! A HEADY MIX OF EXTREMELY, EVEN WEARYINGLY 90S STYLE AND CINEMATOGRAPHY AND A GRAB BAG OF EXPERT SCENE-CHEWINGLY 'INTENSE' ACTORS WORKING THEIR WAY THROUGH... WELL, I GUESS IT'S A PLOT?
@republicandalek.bsky.social@kjaycee.bsky.social MORE ON 'THE PROPHECY' IN A BIT BUT FIRST - SHUDDER BRINGING YOU THAT SWEET, SWEET FOUND FOOTAGE THAT I KNOW YOU CRAVE!
