Day 31: Stage Fright (1987)
At the end of the month, the sensation I wanted to feel again most was the melodramatic macabre synthy theatrical energy of Suspiria. Stage Fright delivered it in spades, especially in the music; I was smiling the whole time. Fun as hell and I already want to rewatch it.

Day 30: 30 Days of Night (2007)
Maybe I'm spoiled for better vampire invasion stories, but it didn't live up to its premise. The vampires are too goofy to be scary but too intense to be fun, and Danny Huston just doesn't work for me. Admittedly, it has great environment and a couple very fun kills.

Day 29: The Shape of Water (2017)
Last few picks had us eager to revisit this. It's such a beautiful film, especially in its unique gold-teal color grade, and it rides the line between mature romance and a child's storybook fantasy so skillfully it's like magic. Undoubtedly one of GDT's best works.

Day 28: 28 Days Later (2002)
The ur- modern zombie film. It had everything I love about the genre, plus much of the stuff I hate about it. In the end I admired its tonal balancing act, reminding me that dark times don't last forever. Sure would be dumb to make sequels where the virus sticks around.

Day 27: Audition (1999)
Not for me. Maybe it's a culture barrier, but I thought it had a dull first hour, then an okay mystery, and a really gratuitous last 15 minutes. It was a little much for *me*, and my favorite horror film is The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Phenomenal acting from Shiina, though.

In the "praise for" section, the only name you'll recognize is James Carville, an out-of-touch dinosaur dipshit who hasn't won an American election in my lifetime. That's all you need to know about this doomed "renewal" project.

Day 26: Frankenstein (2025)
This is maybe the most GDT movie ever, making every other horror movie he's made feel like, in retrospect, a soft adaptation of this one. There were four or five lines of dialogue that made me wince; besides those, it's a gothic horror masterpiece. I absolutely loved it.

Day 25: The Menu (2022)
Needs time to digest (sorry). It's well-written, it has a lot to say about art, and it really holds the attention, but it's almost too pretentious (even for *me*) and seems like it'd hate me for liking it too much - or not enough. Overall positive on it, but that may change.

Day 24: Bring Her Back (2025)
I didn't know my one of my favorite actresses was the villain, so this was a fun surprise! Hawkins' usual affectionate charm is so unsettling here. The movie slumps in the middle after revealing its core idea, but its gore is top tier. That knife scene gave me shivers.

Day 23: Nope (2022)
As Peele plays with spectacle and epic imagery, it's probably his least scary film - though that's definitely not a shortcoming! I'm enamored with how skillfully he weaves these heavy themes together in movies that feel so breezy and watchable. I only wish I had seen it in IMAX.

Day 22: Us (2019)
I recall people being disappointed with this after Get Out. To me, it is not as clear cut or digestible, but it's a richer and deeper text for it. Its themes and ideas need time to marinate for me, but on first blush, it was a solid film with two amazing performances from Nyong'o.

Day 21: Get Out (2017)
You don't need to hear it from me. Obviously it's great - all the more so since I somehow managed to stay mostly unspoiled on it for 8 years. I'm late to the party but really glad I'm finally here. Never imagined the sound of a spoon scraping a cup could be so goddamn creepy.

Day 20: Ju-On: The Grudge
I have to respect how ahead of its time this movie must've been - 23 years later and it's sharper than most modern ghost stories. It's insanely effective at creepy little moments and brief ghost glimpses that kept me on edge. Haunting in a way few other films have managed.

Day 19: The Wailing (2016)
A fascinating mystery with an absolute mastery of tone, building this grim disorienting atmosphere that's somehow speckled with slapstick. Couldn't look away (and not just because I don't speak Korean). I'm eager to see it again, even more eager to discuss it with others.

Day 18: Possession (1981)
Man this was a lot to take in. Wild plot, grounded violence, and a suffocating uncanny energy forming the most viscerally unpleasant movie I've seen. It made my skin crawl and my brain itch. I'm glad I saw it, it felt utterly unique to me, but I might never watch it again.

Day 17: From Beyond (1986)
I've missed the energy of the Stuart Gordon/Jeffrey Combs/Barbara Crampton teamup I last saw in Re-Animator. If you look past its regressive views on kink and mental illness, it's equal parts funny and spooky with some of the best practical body horror outside The Thing.

Day 16: Black Christmas (1974)
Wild how progressive and fresh these old slashers feel, bearing none of the cliches that would go on to dominate the genre. It's well-acted, shockingly mature, and subtly haunting, and all the themes really click together. I'm likely going to see it again in December!

Day 15: Under the Shadow (2016)
It may be easy to dismiss it as "The Babadook, but in Persian," but that's selling it short. It's claustrophobic, intense, wonderfully acted and remarkably well-paced. Far superior to the other djinn-based horror movie I watched this month (though not nearly as fun).

Day 14: Color Out of Space (2019)
Wanted it to be better. The on-the-nose madcap of the music, script, and Cage's acting clash against the subtler creep of Lovecraft's ideas. Big ups to the visuals, especially the practical effects; sadly, I think they're best enjoyed as isolated scenes on YouTube.

Day 13: Barbarian (2022)
Stellar back-to-back with Weapons; creepy, weird, and evocative of a classic, but I won't spoil which one. Cregger builds great mysteries with POV shifts and nonlinear storytelling. Still find his reveals to be a half-beat behind, so I'm eager to watch him refine his craft.

Day 12: Weapons (2025)
It's a tone salad, and you'll certainly have the weirder bits figured out before it's done explaining them. Under all that is a compelling story of grief, loss, and the violence the American identity. Warmly recommended, even if I could see its cracks forming towards the end.

Day 11: Phantasm (1979)
This movie's like hearing someone describe a nightmare - you have to meet it on its level, or it'll just be weird in a boring way. Took a while for me to vibe with it, but once I got there, the Tall Man's haunting aura and the blackness of the nighttime lighting was sublime.

Day 10: Longlegs (2024)
Cage is great in the titular role but Monroe steals the show - she's one hell of a modern scream queen. I imagine this is what people who've never seen Twin Peaks think Twin Peaks is. Not super original, but I loved sitting in its thick atmosphere of 90s wood-paneled dread.

Day 9: Ghost Stories (2017)
Now that's some anthology horror. It leans heavy on jumpscares, but each one lands thanks to great use of negative space and audio stingers. I can see people hating the ending. For what it's worth, I'm glad I saw it unspoiled; gave me chills I haven't had since Babadook.

Day 8: Gremlins (1984)
The madcap energy and breezy tone makes this the perfect Baby's First Horror. The puppetry is absurdly impressive, it really holds up, and the horrible little guys are still a total riot. There's not much going on under its surface, but it's always a joy to revisit this one.
