After a slight mental health delay (CW: depression, etc, at the beginning), we continue Halloween month with the divisive remake of the original classic. With @moviocrity.bsky.social they talk the ups and downs of the occasionally effective but baffling reimagining.

I don't know why so many people feel the need to be so *loud.*

#NowWatching #31daysofhalloween Still gonna try and make this Rob Zombie run work this time.

#NowWatching Every year I say "this year, I'm going to *try* and like Rob Zombie" and I don't follow through, but this is a #31daysofhalloween made for a challenge.

#NowWatching #31daysofhalloween In listening to the soundtrack of the whole Nightmare series, one of the things I have learned is that Into The Fire is the superior "Dokken song that appears in Nightmare on Elm Street 3" song to Dream Warriors itself.

"Introduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie you'll never watch again, and one song you can't stand"

Food: I nearly died eating Duck once, so I won't do that again.

Movie: I would say I'll never watch Zach Snyders Justice League again. But I probably will.

Song: Santa Baby

"Introduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie you’ll never watch again, and one song you can’t stand'

Food: Beans

Movie: Boondocks Saints. That scene with the cat is rough

Song: All Summer Long. Kid Rock :/ Kid Rock using Warren Zevon riffs for dog water music :/ :/ :/

“Introduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie you’ll never watch again, and one song you can’t stand”

Food: canned tuna fish

Film: Grease. I was horrified by its sexism from my first viewing at a sleepover and I remain correct

Song: Brown Eyed Girl. The worst

Me, the next two nights. But with a mouse in a closet instead of a raven, and a cardigan instead of a robe. And my crush instead of Lenore.

#NowWatching Coming soon to Sinnful Sarah's Horror Menagerie!

This movie is way more fun than I expected. The humor feels a little too common now that nerd-joke/on-the-spectrum humor is a more standardized mainstream trope now, but it works.

#NowWatching #31daysofhalloween I was pleasantly surprised by last year's installment, so I'm cautiously optimistic. I'm predisposed to like any possible addition to annual #Halloween watchings.

#NowWatching Halfway through this. It occurs to me that it has been a long time since I really sat down and watched it in a real, engaging way.

It's...quite serviceable. The dream sequences are strong, it's very personal, and very 80s. It's been fun.

#31daysofhalloween Franchise Edition movie 2.

Guest choice month concludes with first time guest and all-around cool person Shelly Haynes and her choice, the insane horror-comedy BLOOD DINER! We talk over-the-top comedy, gender theory in late-80s films, and generally have a good time with the wacky, irreverent film.

#NowWatching Trying something new and watching movies after work. Watching the new "uncut" version.

#31daysofhalloween Franchise version is a go.

This week, on Insane Troll Logic, Maggie and I discuss toxic male fandom and consent with #Buffy episode Superstar, and the privilege of the wealthy (and, yknow, Angelus) on #AngelTheSeries episode Eternity.

yeah that's nice, but are you kind when the internet isn't looking

#NowWatching Angel referenced it in the last episode I watched for Insane Troll Logic, and it's one of the few DRACULA versions I never saw.
