I HAD A SIMILAR THOUGHT! BUT, IN THE SENSE THAT THE *SHOW* IS ON 'DEATH ROW' (I.E., CANCELLED), I SUPPOSE IT CANNOT GET ANY... MORE CANCELLED.
BRING ON THE WEIRD MOVIES!!

@republicandalek.bsky.social@kjaycee.bsky.social REMIIIIIIIIINDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER
@republicandalek.bsky.socialTODAY! #FILM46 OF #61FILMSOFHALLOWEEN SEES ME COMPLETE THE 'MOVIE AND A SEQUEL REQUIREMENT' A SECOND TIME BY WATCHING 'THE PROPHECY 2'. MORE CHRISTOPHER WALKEN!
@republicandalek.bsky.socialTODAY! #FILM45 OF #61FILMSOFHALLOWEEN IS 'WITHOUT WARNING', FEATURING NOT ONE BUT *TWO* BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR OSCAR WINNERS (MARTIN LANDAU AND JACK PALANCE). THE BAD NEWS? IT'S A CHEAP ALIEN INVASION FLICK FROM THE DIRECTOR OF 'ANGEL'S REVENGE', 'FINAL JUSTICE' AND 'STAR GAMES'! OOF.
@republicandalek.bsky.socialYOU SHOULD STILL WATCH THE NEW V/H/S IF ONLY TO GET THE 'DANCE DANCE DANCE DANCE' SONG STUCK IN YOUR DOME!
JOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUS!!
@republicandalek.bsky.social@kjaycee.bsky.social *BAD* NEWS IS, UNFORTUNATELY, ASIDE FROM A STELLAR FIRST SEGMENT ("DANCE DANCE DANCE DANCE"), 'V/H/S: MIXTAPE' IS A VERY WEAK ENTRY IN THE SERIES. THE CONSENSUS HERE AT THE SAUCER IS PROBABLY THE WEAKEST ONE SO FAR!
A *LOT* OF PADDING, HONESTLY.
@republicandalek.bsky.social@kjaycee.bsky.social WELP. 'CROWHAVEN FARM' WAS...
IT WAS A THING.
SO! TODAY WE WENT MUCH MORE MODERN WITH 'VHS: MIXTAPE'! #FILM44 #61FILMSOFHALLOWEEN
@republicandalek.bsky.social@kjaycee.bsky.social NOT TO WORRY THOUGH! THE PROTAGONIST ALSO HAS A HOT-TEMPERED, IRRATIONALLY JEALOUS HUSBAND *AND* A LOCAL CREEPER WHO IS CONSTANTLY SEXUALLY HARASSING HER, AND OH MY DAVROS, CAN WE *PLEASE* GET TO SOME WITCHERY ALREADY, MOVIE?!
@republicandalek.bsky.social@kjaycee.bsky.social AHH, JOHN CARRADINE. WAS THERE EVER A HORROR MOVIE YOU WERE TOO BUSY TO SHOW UP AND CASH A CHECK FOR?
@republicandalek.bsky.social@kjaycee.bsky.social SO SINCE *SOMEONE* DECIDED TO MANDATE A FOLK-HORROR HEAVY YEAR AFTER I WENT THROUGH MANY OF THE CLASSIC ENTRIES IN THE GENRE THE LAST 2 YEARS, I AM INCENTIVIZED TO GO A BIT FAR AFIELD.
THUS: #FILM43 OF #61FILMSOFHALLOWEEN IS 'CROWHAVEN FARM'!
@republicandalek.bsky.social@kjaycee.bsky.social FULL DISCLOSURE: I *MAY* HAVE REPEATEDLY ALTERED THE TIMELINE IN SUBTLE BUT PERILOUS WAYS TO GET 'THE CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF' BACK INTO PRINT (AND THEN ON SALE) SO THAT I COULD ADD IT TO THE PILE OF DARCY'S FAVORITES FOR #61FILMSOFHALLOWEEN. BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR PARADOXES!
@republicandalek.bsky.socialGOT TO MONITOR THOSE BABY LIZARDS! #61FILMSOFHALLOWEEN
@republicandalek.bsky.social@kjaycee.bsky.social EPISODE 3, 'HANGING BALLOONS', IS APPARENTLY ONE OF ITO'S MORE FAMOUS STORIES.
THE EPISODE IS... APPROPRIATELY CREEPY. HARD TO DESCRIBE IN ANY DETAIL WITHOUT GIVING IT AWAY. BUT IF YOU NEED NIGHTMARE LOGIC AGORAPHOBIA FUEL, JAPAN IS HERE TO PROVIDE! #FILM42 #61FILMSOFHALLOWEEN
@republicandalek.bsky.social@kjaycee.bsky.social EPISODE 2 WAS MUCH BETTER! "The Story of the Mysterious Tunnel / Ice Cream Bus" ASKS DUAL QUESTIONS OF 'HOW ARE GHOSTS LIKE RADIATION?' & 'WHAT FRESH HELL CAN JAPAN IMAGINE FROM A STRANGER GIVING SUGARY TREATS TO CHILDREN OUT OF A CREEPY VEHICLE?' #FILM41 #61FILMSOFHALLOWEEN
@republicandalek.bsky.social@kjaycee.bsky.social CHASTISING L.A. MOST VIGOROUSLY FOR EPISODE 1, WHICH I *WILL NOT COUNT* FOR #61FILMSOFHALLOWEEN, MARKING FIRST MISS OF 2026!
IT OSTENSIBLY HAS GHOSTS & A SEANCE AND SO FORTH, BUT REALLY, L.A., 'THE ADDAMS FAMILY BUT JAPANESE AND YOU HATE ALMOST EVERYONE' IS NOT PROPER SPOOKY.
@republicandalek.bsky.social@kjaycee.bsky.social ALSO, I SHOULD SAY SOMETHING ABOUT #FILM40 'STING OF DEATH' FOR #61FILMSOFHALLOWEEN. AND THAT IS: OH MY DAVROS. THAT WAS THE WORST RUBBER SUIT MONSTER COSTUME THE DALEK HAS EVER SEEN. IT'S SO BAD IT ACTUALLY FAILS IN A WAY I HAD NEVER IMAGINED A MONSTER COSTUME *COULD* FAIL!
@republicandalek.bsky.socialI AM SHOCKED. SHOCKED!
@republicandalek.bsky.socialSHE WAS ASKED FOR *A* FAVORITE, SHE GAVE 3 FAVORITES AND SAID THEY WERE TIED. SO IT FEELS PRETTY CLEAR!
NOW REGRETTING THAT NONE OF MY PREVIOUS STOCKPILE ACQUISITIONS GOT 'CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF' AS THE BEST BLU-RAY IS APPARENTLY OUT OF STOCK.
SOMETHING FOR NEXT YEAR PERHAPS!
@republicandalek.bsky.socialTOO MANY, I SAY!
ALSO, QUERY FOR THE RULES COMMITTEE. IF DARCY RESPONDED TO A QUESTION ABOUT WHAT HER FAVORITE WEREWOLF MOVIES WERE BY LISTING 3, ARE THOSE 'FAVORITE' MOVIES FOR THE PURPOSES OF #61FILMSOFHALLOWEEN? OR DID SHE NEED TO SAY THE WORD 'FAVORITE' HERSELF?
@republicandalek.bsky.socialI SAW THAT ONE! BUT ISN'T IT TAKING DIALOGUE FROM A SONG IN THE FILM AND PUTTING IT OVER AN UNRELATED SCENE?
THAT'S TOO MANY CONCEPTS! #DALEKDISAPPROVAL #61FILMSOFHALLOWEEN #SORTOF
