HALLOWEEN TIP: When choosing a first date horror film, make sure it's not porn. The following are NOT horror films:

The Pit & The Frenulum
Amityville 33DD
The Devil Blew Out My Backbone
Abbott & Costello Fuck Frankenstein
Something Wicked, This Guy Comes

Enjoying a double feature of William Castle flicks at the New Beverly.

William Castle, Robert Bloch, Paul Frees, Vic Mizzy & William P. McGivern…

It’s like someone was filling out the Bingo card of my brain.

Starting my 4-Horror-Marathon October with the New Beverly’s Annual Horror Show for 12 hours of unknown flicks… always on film!

Will post titles on this thread as they’re revealed. (But not from the audience, natch.)

Turned out most of the people were in the “return line.” But I’m still surprised it didn’t sell out.

Jon Gutierrez @dasgoot1.bsky.social · 8d

To me it was more about the genre, as I can’t remember the last time I watched a new sword-and-sorcery flick. I mainly wanted to see what a modern-day version of that would look like.

Jon Gutierrez @dasgoot1.bsky.social · 8d

A modern-day reboot of the New-World-Pictures sword-and-sorcery-classic Deathstalker?

How has this not sold out?

(There’s only like 30 people here.)

Thanks. I didn't see them at 11AM. Were they at the regular sales link?

The more I read of this novelization, the more I become convinced that I wasn’t paying enough attention during the movie.
