Back from the gym and #nowwatching Night of the Reaper (2025). I'm guessing this is going to be a throwaway throwback slasher. Not that that's a bad thing! #horrorskt
The movie poster, showing a woman in a suburban street with a skull looking down at her from the sky.

Awesome! I missed them doing suspiria, but the Demons show was amazing!

In fact, I enjoyed that so much I'm going to go back to the first in the series. #nowwatching The Stalls of Barchester (1971). Another M.R. James adaptation. #horrorsky
the dvd box cover for the stalls of barchester, showing a man holding a candle.

That was great! Similar in structure to Whistle and I'll Come to You, and some lovely creepy moments with the stalking ghost...

It's a quiet afternoon here in Japan, so I'm #nowwatching A Warning to the Curious (1972). A TV movie based on the M.R. James story that was part of the series A Ghost Story for Christmas. #horrorsky
The poster for the movie. Showing a man's face looking suspiciously to one side.

It's pretty good (if you like found footage!) - the whole senritsu kaiki file series is on YouTube.

Very weird film. It's got a bit of Troma-esque gross-out campiness about it, and borrows elements from films like Barbarian and The People Under the Stairs. Unfortunately, it ends up feeling more like one of the later Wrong Turn sequels, and it has some truly, unpleasantly gross scenes.

As a break from my October Octuplet of Octopodal Terror, I'm #nowwatching Match (2025). A Tubi original about a tinder date gone wrong. #horrorsky
The poster for match. A dishevelled woman is holding a match and covering her mouth with a look of fear on her face.

Have you seen "Senritsu Kaiki File Kowasugi! File 01 Capture The Slit Mouthed Woman!"? It's a found footage take on the urban legend, and it's pretty decent (though the version on YouTube has hilariously inaccurate subtitles. Literally just telling a totally different story!).

Thank you. This film is actually a curse that can only be lifted by passing it on to somebody else. I'm free...

This just transitioned from a cheap, poorly acted commercial back into the film and I genuinely didn't notice.

Tubi apparently got wind of Eight Octopus-films October (that's the official name, now), and recommended Curse of the Kraken (2020). So... #nowwatching Curse of the Kraken (2020). I'm four minutes and 29 seconds in, and this is already the worst film I've ever seen or ever will see. #horrorsky
the poster for curse of the kraken. A kraken is attacking a ship.

I ate them a lot in the UK, but here it's such a minority thing you learn to get by without them. I think it's also a culture war thing - I doubt the meat lobby benefits that much from the renaming stuff, but it's a great stick in the eye to those bloody commie vegans!

That sounds...unappetising! Fake meats barely exist over here, so luckily we don't have to go through performative renaming ceremonies just yet!

#nowwatching Arachnophobia (1990). They're not octopuses, but they have eight legs! #horrorsky

Yes! Brilliant idea. I also look forward to the EU parliament legislating that peanut butter be renamed as "roasted legume emulsion", to avoid confusion.

It's not the blues explosion, unfortunately. The new band were amazing though, and Jon didn't let up for a second! I can't imagine having that much energy when I'm 60...

I really like Plastic Fang from 2002, and his new album (not with the Blues Explosion) is worth a listen too!

No horror today. Instead, I've got five hours of meetings...followed by Jon Spencer live!

I didn't really post about it! I made a joke about watching octopus films in october, and the joke seems to have gotten away from me.
