@republicandalek.bsky.social@kjaycee.bsky.social TODAY! IT WOULD NOT BE A PROPER #61FILMSOFHALLOWEEN IF DALEK DID NOT GRIND INTO AT LEAST ONE FRANCHISE, SO WE'RE KICKING IT OFF WITH 1995'S EXTREMELY-90S HORROR FLICK 'THE PROPHECY'! SOMEHOW I AVOIDED THESE MOVIES - DID YOU KNOW THERE ARE *FOUR* DIRECT TO VIDEO SEQUELS? #FILM11
@republicandalek.bsky.socialFAR AS I CAN TELL SHORT WAS ABOUT SOME HUMANS WHO STUMBLED INTO AN ABANDONED BROWNFIELD SITE, KEPT INHALING FUMES AND TOUCHING CAUSTIC SURFACES THEY KNEW WERE BAD FOR THEM, AND MAYBE ONE OF THEM WAS EATEN BY A LEOPARD? DO THEY HAVE LEOPARDS IN AUSTRALIA?
STOP. TOUCHING. THINGS! #61FILMSOFHALLOWEEN
@republicandalek.bsky.socialWELL LAST NIGHT *I* WATCHED THAT 'THE STAIRCASE' SHORT FROM THE ANTIPODEAN HORROR SERIES 'DEADHOUSE DARK' AND... WHILE IT'S TRUE THAT SHOW-NOT-TELL IS GENERALLY CONSIDERED A GOOD RULE, NEITHER SHOWING NOR TELLING IS TOO FAR IN THE OTHER DIRECTION, AUSSIES!
@republicandalek.bsky.social@kjaycee.bsky.social SOMEHOW I HAVE NEVER GOTTEN AROUND TO BUYING THAT ONE! GOOD TO KNOW. ABOUT THE CREATURE FEATURE PART AT LEAST.
@republicandalek.bsky.social@kjaycee.bsky.social WELL... MY MOVIE WAS PRETTY... SILLY. INTENTIONALLY! ALSO MESSY! MORE LIKE A CROSS BETWEEN 'KILL BILL' AND 'ARMY OF DARKNESS' THAN MY EARLIER APPRAISAL. FAKE BLOOD BY THE GALLON!
@republicandalek.bsky.social@kjaycee.bsky.social FOR #FILM8 WE'RE DOING THE FIRST OFFICIAL SAUCER MEAL PAIRING OF #61FILMSOFHALLOWEEN, MATCHING A NYC-SET HORROR MOVIE WITH A BAGEL AND SCHMEAR LUNCH! THE MOVIE IN QUESTION IS 2026'S 'THEY WILL KILL YOU', WHICH SO FAR FEELS LIKE A SLAPSTICK HYBRID OF 'KILL BILL' AND 'HOT FUZZ'
@republicandalek.bsky.socialHOW INFURIATINGLY TOPICAL/APPROPRIATE!
THE DONALD SUTHERLAND 'INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS' WOULD WORK THE SAME WAY. OR 'NIGHT OF THE LEPUS'. OR 'KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS'!
...IF THE DAMNED NERDS WERE NOT IN CONTROL OF THE SAUCER BIG SCREEN ALREADY!
@republicandalek.bsky.social@kjaycee.bsky.social @mcmetalmom.bsky.social NATURALLY BUFFET INFINITY PAIRED WITH EVERYTHING ONE COULD POSSIBLY SERVE. AND *WILL* PAIR, FOR WHEN/IF KAY WATCHES IT.
THERE IS PLENTY OF PARKING OUT FRONT!!
@republicandalek.bsky.social@kjaycee.bsky.social @mcmetalmom.bsky.social STAFF ARE BEGINNING TO ACTUALLY TRACK FILMS FOR THE OFFICIAL #61FILMSOFHALLOWEEN RULES BEFORE WE SELECT THE MOVIE FOR TONIGHT!
ALSO, IN SAUCER TRADITION, WE'RE STARTING TO PONDER: MEAL PAIRINGS. AND DRINK PAIRINGS!
@republicandalek.bsky.social@kjaycee.bsky.social @mcmetalmom.bsky.social AT INSISTENCE OF SAUCER'S TECHNICAL STAFF, WHO MADE TONIGHT'S PICK, WE ARE GOING FROM CINEMATIC HIGH TO VERY LOW WITH 'SUBSPECIES IV'! YES... 4.
BUT NOT WITHOUT COMEDIC ASSISTANCE!
@republicandalek.bsky.social@kjaycee.bsky.social @mcmetalmom.bsky.social I HAVE SEEN TRAILERS AND PROMOTIONS ON THE YOUTUBE. IT APPEARS TO BE A SLIGHTLY MORE OVERTLY DEMONIC VERSION OF BARNEY? BUT ORANGE?
