This was the first of my St. Patrick Day watches in this series that I had never seen. I remember when this came out, thought it was cheesy and avoided it. I'm not too far off. This isn't a horrible movie, but it is missing that spark like previous installments. I still enjoyed Warwick Davis and Ice-T works in his role as well. What do you think this sequel?

I know I'm a bit late to sharing my thoughts on this one. What I will say is that I had a lot of fun here. This worked better for me than the previous one did. The 3D didn't add a lot aside from one sequence. One of the better ones in the franchise now for me actually.

Let me preface that I'm not the biggest fan of this series as even the best are just decent. I'm a completionist though. I watched this to get one step closer to completing the franchise according to Letterboxd. What I will say though is that this clearly didn't start as a Children of the Corn movie, but it is one of the better, later installments. Plus, Bill Drago. Have you seen this one? What did you think?

This is a movie that I was late to. I knew it existed, but I didn't realize how beloved it was by many until getting into podcasts. I had a lot of fun here. It is relatable if you've live in an area like this with rumors and what you be led to believe. To the extreme of course. Not necessarily horror, but there are elements. What do you think of this one?

This was a movie that I discovered when working through 1952 horror films. I was shocked to learn this is one of the last Universal Classic run. It features Lon Chaney Jr. and Boris Karloff. This feels like a movie that is a bit too earlier for what would make it actually effective. Still a solid film that doesn't stand out.

This is a movie that I first noticed when looking at Shudder for 2023 releases. I didn't realize it was Neil Marshall until settling in. This feels like elements of Dog Soldiers, but with a different monster. It also isn't as good either. I still had fun for this action/horror film with solid monsters.

This was a movie that I didn't learn about until getting into podcasts. What is interesting is that this was made in Columbus, Ohio where I reside. It also was made with by a production class from Ohio State. We get an interesting Lovecraftian type horror film. It is low-budget so keep that in mind which helps the surreal nature.

This is a movie that I found while looking for movies from 1923 in the horror genre for my Centennial Club. This is one from Germany and loosely falls into the expressionism movement. We get an interesting cautionary tale about not coveting another man's wife. It also doesn't feature inter-titles which was a first. Have you heard of this one?

This is a movie that I've known about for awhile, but I'm not sure how. The poster is one that has stuck with me. I decided to give this a watch for a combo of Black and Women Appreciation in February. We get a quirky film that features an intriguing demon in a succubus. Have you seen this? What do you think?

This is a fun and absurd movie. I'm not always the biggest fan of comedy/horror, but this one works. What I think helps here is that the performances are played straight and there is comedic timing for jokes. Plus, we have a bear high on cocaine attacking people. What did you think of this one?

This was another blind-spot movie for me. I knew of this one from a young age, but had never seen it. We get a tight little film from Roger Corman. I was impressed with what Barbara Peeters did here with having a grounded creature feature with eco-horror elements. What do you think of this one?

This was a movie that I had my list to check out before the year-end show a couple years ago but just couldn't fit it in. I decided to give this a watch for Black Appreciation in February. We have a different take on a familiar story. I also like the reason this family cannot leave their haunted house. We also have Matt Smith and Javier Botet. Have you seen this? What did you think?

This was a movie that I saw was playing at my local theater and when I figured out it was horror, I gave it a go. This is an interesting movie. We have a couple who are expecting and the fears that come with that. To make matters worse, Valeria believes there is an entity that is after her. I rather enjoyed this one as it had elements that worked on me. Have you heard of this one?

This was one of the earliest 2023 horror movies I saw drop. I heard mixed things so it went on a list of ones that if I had time to check out, I would. This double for Women and Black Appreciation so I gave it a go. We get a solid premise. Isolate two families in the woods and then strange things happen. There are light Lovecraftian vibes as well. Not great, but I didn't hate my time with it. Have you seen this? What did you think?
