#13 Dead Mountaineer's Hotel
Any film this bizarre & atmospheric which ends with aliens attempting to flee through the snowy mountains on the 1970s equivalent of a segway is okay in my book! #hooptober #hooptoberxii #filmsky

If you make peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, what's your technique? Like both on one slice, one on each slice? One knife, one spoon? If you don't, just have a great evening!

I know I did a double take like a cartoon!

Our angry teen becomes his next victim and the new rampaging monster about town! Shout out to a werewolf bouffant that defies gravity even after lengthy time rummaging about in the underbrush and amazing wolf teeth #hooptober #hooptoberxii #filmsky

#12 I Was a Teenage Werewolf
(1/2) A teen boy filled with a mighty rage, evidenced by on and off screen throwing of milk jugs and a LOT of yelling, is referred to the local psychiatrist down at the old aircraft factory. Turns out the doc is conductiong experiments with lycanthropy serums #hooptober

(2/2) Still the nods to Cushing's, Lee's, and Price's horror legacies, and simply watching them together, make this worth it! #hooptober #hooptoberxii

#11 House of the Long Shadows
(1/2) All the delicious bitchyness you could hope for! However, the movie plods along with Arnaz barely staying in character only to conclude with heavy handed, boring life lessons. #hooptober #hooptoberxii

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Still entranced by the hole in the middle! Movie magic ;)

#10 The Last Ones Out
It's brief and unsurprising but has a lot of heart! Shout outs to Tshamano Sebe for a great job, decent looking zombies, the South African landscape, and the leading guy who looks like the mini gi joe version of Joel McHale #hooptober #hooptoberxii

Zombie movie, The Last Ones Out, dude screaming, lady looking tired

(2/2)
Otherwise not very exciting and the animals could have really done more killing/going berserkers! #hooptober #hooptoberxii

#9 Day of the Animals
(1/2)This movie definitely moves the needle all the way over to I'd rather meet a bear than a man in the woods. Especially if that man is a yelling, redfaced, sweaty, and topless Leslie Nielsen while he brandishes a large stick. #hooptober #hooptoberxii

It's like reading wet graham crackers

Man, I'm sorry, but reading all these AI generated essays from students, it just sucks all the joy out of everything. It's exhausting, makes you into a weird paranoid cop, grinds you down, wastes your time, makes you feel like shit about everything.

Fuck this shit technology and all its enablers.

Having a totally normal reaction to one of my heroes dying. I cried a little and have told 2 different people she should have been immortal.

I'm so sorry. (Also it looks like the wayback machine has been wiped too. I was worried that would be a way to access & checked.)

Still shaken by the fact that I pronounced vase VAHZE in a database demo video instead of my normal VAYSE. Maybe there's a little bit of unconscious Paltrow in all of us?
