Halloween/Horror TV, Movies and Music Reviews and Recommendations

[Grabnar]

the TUBI tv free app has a much better selection of horror movies than Hulu or Netflix, there are so many older horror movies like WAXWORK or DAGON or all the Dark Shadows episodes
theres hundreds of movies if you search beyond the first page

Peacock has all of the old Abbott and Costello meet the Universal Monsters movies, those have been a fun watch.

I should say "listened to." It's a podcast interviewing several of the folks in Horror Noire. You can find it right in the Shudder app.

I definitely got nowhere near watching 31 pieces of content but I got my wife to agree to start watching Haunting of Hill House. We’re 4 episodes in and enjoying it. It’s a no brainer to see this director make Doctor Sleep (which I highly recommend) after this story.

I also Horror Noire while it was on Prime. I loved it, but it has a little bit too much worship of Get Out because I still feel like there’s more progress to make, but good movies are good movies. It also has gotten me to put Blacula on my Amazon Prime watch list since it’s on there last I checked.

Based off of Legacy’s recommendation I got Summer of ‘84. I absolutely loved it. I’m a fan of Mad Men so the neighbor being played about one of the early season actors made me warm up to the movie. You really feel for the inner loves of each the kids outside of the plot they’re a part of during the story. Movie quality aside, which it is solid, the soundtrack is fantastic and my favorite part. It’s 80 movie synth as you remembered it but even better.

Crap, I just remembered a couple more fantastic little horrors.

“You Might Be The Killer”
“I’m Not a Serial Killer”

I also watched “The Wolf of Snow Hollow.” Not pure horror, but a good flick overall.

EDIT - And I can’t believe “The Final Girls” hasn’t been mentioned.

I really just need to make a list.

Not movies, but I did watch every Treehouse of Horror throughout October. And how fitting that the new one this year ended with a montage of every single segment they've done.

I don't disagree here, but to be fair, without Get Out, there's no Horror Noire documentary, as it kicked up the zeitgeist on black horror. I'd love an HN sequel, but I can't think of any major examples they missed out, except for the stuff that followed it.
