October viewing: TRICK OR TREATS (1982)
Listless ripoff/satire of Halloween about a whiney babysitter tormented by a prankster boy, and his psychopathic father who's escaped from an institution. Super boring, and barely any splatter, or nudity.

October viewing: TRICK OR TREAT (1986)
Dead rocker Sammi Curr comes back from the dead to seek revenge against his oppressors by using a fan as a puppet. Clever, and with a sense of humor. Think Freddy meets Twisted Sister.

October viewing: DARK NIGHT OF THE SCARECROW (1981)
A creepy revenge story about four good old boys who falsely accuse a slow-witted country bumpkin of murder and end up getting stalked (hardy har!) by a scarecrow. A dark telemovie worth checking out!

October viewing: LADY IN WHITE (1988)
Well made mystery about a horror writer recounting his experience with ghosts and a child killer in 1960s New England.

This one was very tedious. I agree with your grade!

We recorded an episode a few years ago on the release of VHS/85—if you haven't already, take a listen before diving into the newest entry in the series, VHS/HALLOWEEN, which drops on #Shudder today!

The only thoughts people have is to implement the anti slugging and tunnel mechanics but you're ignoring us 🤷🏼‍♂️

But not in a good way 🥴

Matt Dalton @daltonmatt.bsky.social · 14d

All survivors want is the chance to feel like we're on balanced ground but it's difficult to get any leverage when @deadbydaylight.com keeps taking survivors abilities away that prevent killleds from abusing their power. Very sad to see the game become so one-sided

Matt Dalton @daltonmatt.bsky.social · 14d

Off the Record is nerfed!! It was one of, if not the, strongest anti-tunneling perks in the game and now it's completely useless. Thank you @deadbydaylight.com for always supporting your dedicated survivor mains, who you seem to loathe with a passion.

Matt Dalton @daltonmatt.bsky.social · 14d

Finally got around to watching this, and... ooooof! This is a strong 10 on the Cringe Scale 🥴

I've never been into the Oscars (I find it all to be BS) but Amy Madigan deserves major accolades for her performance in Weapons

If you're expecting something along the lines of Terrifier... you're going to be VERY disappointed in this lifeless borefest that looks like it cost a buck 75 to make. Zzzzzzz
