Day 9: MASTER OF DISASTER (one by Irwin Allen)

“When Time Ran Out” (1980). It’s ridiculous, but I’m regretting my low rating bc Burgess Meredith, retired tightrope artist, saves children over a river of LAVA!

The image must be pretty racy. Marked adult and not visible. ?

Nice. I *almost* went with this one. Looking forward to seeing it someday.

Day 7: NOW THAT’S BRASS (one with metal)

“Tetsuo: The Iron Man” (1989). If you are still looking for a film with “little dialog” for 10/15, this will fit the bill for that too

That was mine too. Will be interesting to see how much overlap there is today. Likely pretty high I'd say, given the prompt.

Day 5: SHRIEKS & SQUEALS (sound that makes the hairs on your neck stand up)

“Under the Skin” (2013). 8th screening, first time on the small screen. Happy to revisit this sound design + amazing Mica Levi score

Day 4: MYTHICAL CREATURES

Did a double feature : “Sucker” (1998) - thanks Scarecrow Mystery Box for that low budget Troma flick - and “The Beach Girls and the Monster” (1965)

Ha! I had the same thought and almost posted a random movie with humans.

This is the right and best movie to watch for this prompt.

Day 3: SIMIAN CINEMA (one with a primate).

“King Kong” (1976). Every year the Challenge gives me the excuse to finally see something long on my watchlist. This was a lot of campy fun. Thanks!
