34. Noroi the Curse (2005). Spooky, plus it has a lot of fun with the found footage format. The end feels a little basic but fun getting there

I did not wake up planning to defend Jai Courtney. But fate plays her games and I rise to the challenge.

Good Lord when I got fired my coworker (go up to that point had been a good friend ) suggested I email my boss and thank her for all the work we did together. Friends, I did not.

33. 13 Ghosts. They designed some cool ghosts and then kinda forgot to do everything else you need for a movie. I also forgot how often rappers got shoehorned into horror movies in the late 90s, like why is Rah Digga here?

If you've ever driven through the intersection at Georgia and Missouri Avenues NW, you've gone through Alan's Oasis, where a homeless man has been giving out free bottles of water for more than three years. This is a such a great profile of Alan: 51st.news/dc-alans-oas...

For 1,250 days, Alan has given out free water at a busy Brightwood intersection

He’s built a community that stood up for him when the threat of eviction loomed.

If you haven’t check this one out this season

18. Under the Shadow (2016) - Set in Tehran in the 80s, a mother contends with the Islamic guidance patrol and sharia judges as well as Iraqi missiles and a ghostly entity haunting her missile damaged building. The creature in this was very cool and genuinely scary at a couple points.

Never lose track of your daughter's favorite doll.

Movie monsters that change shape and exhibit a variety of powers can be lame but this one worked with the omnipresent double oppressions of war and conservative religion in a very effective way.

A little girl screams as she looks up into a beam of light shining down through a hole in the ceiling.

Shideh's love of Jane Fonda workout videos is one of her recurring acts of rebellion.

32. The Descent Part 2 (2009). It’s never gonna live up to the original but it packs a few chilling sequences in there and makes for a fun watch

31. Off Season (2021). Recommended by horror aficionado @mattdcohen.bsky.social because it features my favorite trope: creepy seaside town cult. Feels like a video game at times as the characters explore place after place. And the final monster is a little cool.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."
