Here we go! October Horror Binge 2025 #Filmsky 📽️

Best month of the year. 31 days of fear! 🎃 🔪 👻

1) The Ring (2002, dir. Gore Verbinski)

Starting with a rewatch of an old favourite, which we've just picked up on 4K.

Poster for The Ring. A grainy recording of a young girl in a white nightdress, standing in a field. Her long, black hair hangs down over her face, obscuring all her features. Behind her is an old, brick well, with trees in the background. The picture is coloured an eerie blue, and an uneven ring of white light circles the girl.

I'd rewatch Alone in the Dark and Piranha 3DD before I'll watch some AI bullshit

One thing AI is good for is reminding people how even the very worst movie they’ve ever seen is better than AI “movies”

It's pretty cool, one of the stronger sci-fi horrors from that time. Enjoy!

I'm very disappointed in myself. Had a big run over Summer seeking out a load of his I've not seen, and somehow missed this.

Going tom have to rectify that this week.

I don't think it's a coincidence that the first thing I see after posting about watching Lifeforce, was this: bsky.app/profile/geft...

49) Lifeforce (1985, dir. Tobe Hooper) #Filmsky 📽️

One of my favourite Tobe Hooper films. Gloriously batshit.

Poster for Lifeforce. The poster shows a woman with purple skin, draining energy from a man whose face is ageing and melting. Below them is a picture of Earth from space, with a large beam of light from the North Pole. The star-filled sky is a dark purple colour.

Amazing how every person who uses 'tankies' as an insult is full of shit. You ignorant wanker.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

Maybe his most underrated? Doesn't get mentioned anywhere near enough when people are talking about his best films.

48) The Exorcist (1973, dir. William Friedkin) #Filmsky 📽️

Poster for The Exorcist. The poster shows a priest in a hat carrying a bag. He’s standing below a streetlight outside a house at night, and is bathed in light from the window.

the thing that’s particularly cool about this is that he just very easily makes morgan’s takes look *weird*, by dint of honestly and simply speaking from the standpoint that trans people are ordinary human beings with the same rights to respect and dignity as anyone else

Right, but they've spent the last 15 months making it worse, deliberately.

I'll give you one last chance. Did you insinuate in the comments section of the Plymouth Herald that Tom Jones is a paedophile?

Imagine trotting out the 'some of my best friends' defence in 2025. Pathetic.

Ah, so you're just as racist as the other piece of filth then?
