"Johnny at the Fair" is one of my favorite shorts from Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Joel and the bots riff on this short and they're hilarious!

Tonight's movie for my October Scary Movie Marathon was Pan's Labyrinth (2006).

Great movie, great music, great story. Set in Spain in 1944. It's a dark, creepy, sometimes scary, sometimes violent movie, but tells a great story.

Scariness grade: B+
Overall grade: A+

An American Werewolf In London (1981)

Scott Pfitzinger @pfitzinger.bsky.social · 1d

Tonight's scary movie was An American Werewolf in London (1981).

The real effects (this was before computers) of him physically becoming a werewolf, especially the face, are legendary. A decent movie with some scary moments.

Scariness Grade: B
Overall Grade: A-
