Sticking with Tales from the Void for now, which are apparently all dramatizations of creepypasta from the No Sleep reddit. #Movie40 was Episode 2, "Fixed Frequency". Baby monitors! The horror! #61MoviesOfHalloween

I apparently counted two movies as Movie 17 which means this next one is actually #Movie39 not #Movie38. Another episode of yet another anthology show that I've never before heard of! Tales from the Void's first episode "Into the Unknown". #61MoviesOfHalloween

The Committee says that as long as it’s clear she knew she was listing favorite movies then it is the implied equivalent of her saying “these are favorites”. #61MoviesOfHalloween

Well, in positive news, even though there is a definite whiff of the derivative(s) in the Smile movies, they are overall very enjoyable films. The second one in particular has a scene past the halfway mark that is unhinged in the most delightful way. #Movie37 #61MoviesOfHalloween

Are we talking like a Great Value Torgo, or a Good & Gather Torgo? #61MoviesOfHalloween

Getting in the moooooooood… #61MoviesOfHalloween

I'll see your giant bugs and raise you something even scarier and that is people staring at you and smiling. #Movie36 and the first of my last pair of Original-Sequels movies (and still new to me!) is Smile. #61MoviesOfHalloween

Although I think I like some of the messaging of X more. But anyway, I need a palate cleanser and a creature feature so #Movie35 is 2026's Thrash. Hurricanes! Storm surge! Hungry sharks! Sure we've seen it before but have we- yeah, honestly we have. #61MoviesOfHalloween @republicandalek.bsky.social

Really, what could go right with that? It's got "terrible idea" written aaaaaalllll over it. And speaking of terrible ideas, I've finished Pearl so that checks another set of Original/Sequel films, still all new to me. And tbf, I did like Pearl more than I liked X. #Movie34 #61MoviesOfHalloween

Does a prequel, which was technically filmed simultaneously with the film that was released first, qualify as a sequel under the rules?

It also sets up an interesting question for me, having now watched X: what have I done??

#61MoviesOfHalloween #Movie33 @republicandalek.bsky.social

In an attempt to continue to check off criteria without re-watching a film, I have selected X and Pearl as my next set of Original-Sequel films. This sets up an interesting question for the Rules Committee. #61MoviesOfHalloween

That was one of the things I liked about Mololch - it was told primarily from the perspective of a local (albeit one who had lived away and came back). Proving folk horror is not just for tourists anymore! #61MoviesOfHalloween

Now I have to work on the Creature Feature movies. The Darcy and Sequels criteria are going to blow up my side quest though. Hashtag sigh. #61MoviesOfHalloween

Moloch was good and I recommend it. It also means I’ve completed the Folk Horror criteria and have yet to repeat a film. #SideQuest #61MoviesOfHalloween

Pics for the paperwork. If only I was as organized and efficient in every other part of my life.

#61MoviesOfHalloween

Speaking of folk horror, #Movie31 is Moloch. Dutch folk horror! Not sure I've ever seen the Nederlander variety before. It's very exciting! #61MoviesOfHalloween

Yep, not watching the giant ceiling centipede movie. Nopity nope nope.

I *am* going to stick with the art film theme and finish off the month with 1994's Nadja. Lynchian vampires!~ #Movie31 #61MoviesOfHalloween

I have now completed the 31 New To Me and Decades criteria. #Overachiever

Tonight, on the eve of the last night of the first month of #61MoviesOfHalloween I've decided to go full weird with In Fabric, in which late stage capitalism takes a turn for the surreal and macabre! #Movie30

Each episode has two 20 minute stories so #Movie28 and #Movie29 are from the second episode of the series: Dead Air and Renovation. (I had apparently watched the first episode earlier in the year, before I started stockpiling.) #61MoviesOfHalloween
