#octoberhorrormoviechallenge 3: Valentine One of the more interesting of the late nineties/early noughties slashers which came in the wake of Scream. Has some quite good set piece murders, a more intricate plot than most, and a pretty good look for the killer. One negative; the back of the box gives away who the mystery killer is! In fact, most of the publicity at the time did that, despite how much effort the film puts into its whodunnit story. Oops.

For the third year in a row I’m again attempting the October Horror Movie Challenge!
The goal is to watch at least 31 horror movies, one for every day in October; last year I watched 43 in 31 days. I won’t be able to beat that this year, I’m pretty certain of that, so I’m marking all my first time viewings with ‘ftv’ and I intend to watch 21 movies I’ve never seen from various eras, sub-genres and countries.
I’ll be tagging everything with #OHMC 2017 if you want to blacklist or follow along with my progress. I may do mini reviews for some of the movies like I did for the last two years but we’ll see!

Almost seven years after the birth of her son, Samuel, Amelia still hasn't come to terms with the death of her husband. When the monster-obsessed Samuel asks Amelia to read him a book named Mister Babadook, their home life begins falling apart as the titular creature appears to be manifesting within the walls.
You can take The Babadook at face value as a monster movie but that does it a great disservice. This is a film about unprocessed grief and loss with the Babadook itself serving as a dark metaphor for all that and more. Amelia has repressed her grief and has been living with her disruptive son without even mentioning her late husband's name. She shuts down completely if he's brought up and she struggles to control Sam's behaviour, he's a constant reminder of that day. The Babadook infests and corrodes, claiming that the more Amelia denies its existence the stronger it will get. In other words, Amelia needs to acknowledge and go through the grieving process in order to move forward before it consumes her and causes real, lasting harm.
Writer/Director Jennifer Kent crafts a real sense of unease throughout the film and she has created a memorable movie monster which seems to have already entered popular culture. The Babadook is a well made movie with some heavy themes and multiple layers, it goes far more in-depth than I will write about here. Whether you loved it or hated it, you can't get rid of The Babadook.
This movie was a lot of fun! It's a horror-comedy written and directed by James Gunn, the same James Gunn who wrote the two Scooby-Doo live action movies and who has written and directed both Guardians of the Galaxy films.
A meteor crashes into the woods and spills out an alien organism, a local man is infected by the parasite and begins to consume and convert the town. The man's wife and the local police force are all caught up in the middle as things escalate.
There's a lot of great special effects and some really gruesome prosthetic work going on, it looks especially grisly and slimy. The comedy is great and if you've seen any of James Gunn's other movies there's a few familiar faces among the cast.
HOCUS POCUS (1993)
Now I'm going to have to watch at least four movies every Halloween! That was such a delightful movie.
I watched Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives last night, which I’ve seen many times and haven’t written a review for. Today I watched another movie I’ve not seen before.
THE LOVE WITCH (2016)
Elaine is a young witch looking for love after a recent divorce, however, nobody can quite match her standards. The love potions Elaine begins crafting in order to draw men into her life have detrimental effects on those who consume them in this throwback to 1960s technicolour horror.
This film is gorgeous to look at. It looks like it's been plucked from the 60s, despite coming out last year and being set in the modern day. It's somewhat jarring and endearing seeing the period-accurate clothing and sets juxtaposed with touch screen phones and modern cars. The costume design and make-up are hugely impressive, as are the cast. Even the acting is reminiscent of old films, with over the top yet restrained action and dramatic ways of speaking.
It moves leisurely along as Elaine drifts from man to man, claiming to be searching for 'the one'. Director, writer, producer, editor, set and costume designer Anna Biller has created a tremendous effort which is more than impressive and she's certainly a force to be reckoned with. There's a darkness beneath the glossy surface of this movie and it deals with some feminist themes in fun and entertaining ways. It's bizarre, funny and almost dreamlike.

I had to think long and hard about this rating. It really does try to be a good movie. There were some moments that were actually enjoyable. It is what it is, you know? It's a mid-grade movie 🤷♂️
This is a 2024 Amazon original
Heavy CGI in the first two minutes.
Girl has sick brother, sees his missing boat in the pool and goes to get it. Gets pulled in. Figures.
After the first two movies being older and using practical effects, it's frustrating to see so much CGI
This movie sucks so far.
The house looks cool. I'd like to live there
I'm trying to find nice things to say about this movie.
It must be hard to go from a professional baseball player to a cripple.
They're getting the house. That's cool.
Siblings in movies: “barfbag” “dipshit”
CHRISTIAN SWIM TEAM GIRL DO NOT JOIN JUST BECAUSE THERE'S A CUTE BOY
Oh boy, it's a spring fed pool. You already know that's why there's trouble. This pool guy is neat. He seems cool and normal he's got a friend named Gecko
First dip in the pool and you immediately get that bad feeling. But the kids diving for coins is nostalgic
The stillness of an evening after a day of swimming 🤩
How do some people swim like frogs? The cat knows something is wrong with the pool
The first 23 minutes are a bit boring. Slow build up, I understand.
The wife knows something weird is going on after her first experience with the water
Yeah that cat KNOWS there's evil. Oh no, Cider
Who doesn't love a good Night Swim?
The ex baseball star loves his pool. I bet this is gonna be a “it's me or the pool” situation
THE KID ISN'T SUPPOSED TO BE ALONE IN THE POOL
This kid is playing with all the drains and shit I was told not to play with in the pool. A freaky monster is not the reason I expected
This guy is a bad dad. I hope everyone in this family EXCEPT HIM survives
I'm never watching this movie again
Can you really hit a baseball so hard you pop the seams?
“Don't make me regret not getting a sitter” one of these kids is about to be haunted
Back to heavy CGI
The monsters are dumb looking
The kids know something is wrong with the pool. Elliot knows he's in a horror movie
I think the dad taped over family videos
The only person who swims now is him
Uh-oh he's using a kid other than his own for a game of chicken. You know what that means? That's right. His son is gonna feel replaced because he's not good at baseball
The real estate agent didn't want to “poo in the pudding” what the fuck kind of expression is that???
Haunted house, I could deal with. Haunted woods? Yeah. But a haunted pool?! Come on, man! I can't stay out of water forever. I'd have to call a priest and have them bless the pool. Turn the whole thing into holy water.
Those people trashed the fucking yard dude. I'd be pissed too.
Need a character to look sick? Smoky eye shadow.
*Husband almost drowned*
*Wife immediately drains the pool*
*Dad talks about being at a baseball game when his daughter was born like it was this strengthening moment for him*
*Mom reveals she was 22 and totally alone at the hospital*
GET HIS ASS
The mom using her school access to search for the girl AND OTHERS that died at her house.
The well has a wish of it's own: kill people
The old lady killed her daughter to save her son. Who will the father kill to save his career?
This pool is working overtime to kill this kid
The daughter can act a little better than the rest of the family.
The spirits are not happy
That coin drop was a fucking awesome scene, not gonna lie
Oh so after the dad almost died, the mom learned CPR?
The daughter beating the shit out of her father with a baseball bat? Every girl's dream
So the dad realized he's been a garbage father and husband and gets to sacrifice himself. At least the wife doesn't have to file for divorce 🤷♂️
Why does this guy get a special ending where he loves his family? He was a terrible husband and an inattentive father.
Stay in the house and fill in the pool. I like that idea.
This is a classic horror movie. From start to finish, this movie is beautifully shot. With the lighting, the sound effects, the acting, this whole crew brought their best and it shows. This movie stands the test of time and kept me interested. I love this movie.
Black screen. Woman screams.
The ghosts are moving tonight, restless, hungry
I love you Vincent Price
I'd take $10k to spend a night in the haunted house, even if the ghosts wanted to kill me
This isn't a house, it's a fucking palace. Have you seen this place?
Love what a theremin can do to make things sound spooky. OG sound effect for horror movies
If I were a millionaire playboy on my fourth wife, I'd have a haunted house party too
Fourth wife Annabelle: what a babe. That outfit she first wears? Stunning. She's been trying to kill Vincent Price for his money. They agree about how jealous he is.
Let's go on a death tour of the house. Where was everyone murdered and how
This house has a vat of acid under the floorboards in the wine cellar. this place keeps getting cooler and cooler
The first ghost we see is a mannequin on a vacuum. I LOVE older movies. Practical effects, my beloved
Guy gets attacked by a ghost: immediately goes back to the room to check for clues. The ghost lady came back and vanished. This is why we don't split up and look for clues.
Annabelle is manipulative. Frederick is jealous. They absolutely hate each other. I bet the sex is phenomenal.
Nora snoops. Finds severed head. This is why we don't snoop in horror movies.
The first ghost wasn't a ghost, just an old blind lady.
Oh, they give everyone a gun? That's a fun party favor. Chekovs gun?
“Nora, you're a little upset. Would you care for a sedative?”
Nora went missing. Oh no she's dead. Oh no it's not Nora it's Annabelle
Six hours. Six people left to kill.
This is a game of clue.
The guy that OWNS the house is one of the guests. He's the only one serious about ghosts
I love the way Vincent Price moves. I love his facial expressions, his voice. He's so beautiful.
Poor Nora's having a hard go of things. From getting attacked by ghosts to seeing corpses, all the way to a haunted harpsichord.
Annabelle isn't dead? She's having an affair with the psychiatrist? It was all so cleverly planned! They're gonna kill Frederick
Joke's on you, Annabelle! Ghosts ARE real and you pissed them off. All the doors in the cellar slowly closing one by one is a good effect. Omg the skeleton rising from the acid vat and walking towards her. I love puppets.
It WAS a puppet! Vincent Price was controlling it! He killed the psychiatrist and his wife because he knew their devilish plot.
“It's a pity you didn't know when you started your game of murder, that I was playing too.” ICONIC
This poor homeowner has to deal with two more murders in his house 😔
October Horror Movies - Day 1 Theme: Aliens - Film Chosen: Killer Klowns From Outer Space
Overall score: 7.5 silly straws used to drink human goo
It was definitely worth rewatching.
I think what makes this a horror movie is predominantly the design of the clowns. Those fucked up little freaks are weird looking but also super expressive for a clown mask. There's something deeply unsettling about their design.
This also works as a comedy horror.
Starting off strong with a fuckin theme song
What other horror movies have their own theme songs?
The cop knew there was mischief happening tonight because he saw a dude carrying a couple sacks of beer
Who the fuck is rolling up in a fucking ice cream truck to The Top Of The World make out point
“A tasty treat for while you screw”
This guy's got a raft in his car
Comet comes. Farmer is the first to die. Y'all ready know “I love the circus” he says, moments from death
Weird shaped clown shadow. Poo bear 😭
Fuck. I love these costumes. There's just so much detail.
A cop beating up a couple queer coded punks. What else is new
Hero cop, bad cop
Main make out characters find the circus. He wants to check it out. She does not. This was her idea to begin with!!
What a fuckin set design. Absolutely love the inside of the spaceship.
Does he know the code off the top of his head or did the clowns let him into the reactor core?
Bad guy's coming, let's use another door. Cotton candy cocoons with people inside. That's the pantry of the ship
Popcorn gun
The humans get away and the clowns look at each other. Those people are gonna be hunted.
These clowns are fucking great. They all have their own walk and everything. These are professionals.
Cotton candy cocoons. You know, cocoons?!
Ding ding ding ding ding they said the name of the movie at 22:58
Are there only two cops in town??? Why does this late 30 something year old cop wanna fuck a teenager so bad?
The clown in the pharmacy just investigating everything and making a huge fucking mess. This makes me realize that the clowns came to town to study their prey
Clown bike vs gang of bikers. Ends with biker getting his head punched clean off his shoulders
No but for real, who is Debbie to officer Dave??? How old are she and Mike?
Good job Mooney. Getting calls all night about evil clowns from all over town and assuming it's nothing but a prank
Clown carried bag of popcorn. Other guy has popcorn gun. what are popcorn???
Shadow puppets! Bunny to George Washington to holy shit that t rex shadow puppet just ate those people
There are clowns and they are killing people
If these goons can run an ice cream truck then so can I
Mooney arrests a clown. Mooney gets his.
I want pink cotton candy faux spider webs ALL OVER my house
The clown exploded when his nose got shot off in a blast of glitter. I like that
They've got a cotton candy cocoon harvester that, is arguably the coolest design ever. It is a parade float where do the streamers come from. There's so many clowns.
One big earring, one little. What a style. Love to see it.
Clown worms. They found Debbie for her crimes.
The fact that apparently at least one of the clowns can mimic human voices makes me immediately think of skinwalkers
The clowns hiding their space ship at the carnival is genius. But that implies that people go in and out of it all day? Are they putting on shows for the humans or something? And occasionally eating them?
Clown car gag!!! Again, the props in this movie are stunning. That's plywood and it looks like paper bowls
That guy got COVERED in cream pies. Dream role. Omg the cherry on top. Iconic.
They're hypothesizing where they came from and why the clowns are here.
Ooh I gotta push a button. Goons end up in clown porn
Using a silly straw to drink blood
What set design
Another door???
GMC beats space ship
The clowns are fascinated by the ice cream truck. Ice cream guys fucked clown girls
Master clown boss battle
Cop sacrifices himself. Clowns getting ready for takeoff
