Halloween Movie Marathon Line-up! 10/15 (Patreon)

Turns out we decided to just go with a LOT of movies and a long ass marathon, but hey, it's Halloween! Why not watch a ton of movies!?!? Still, I wanted to pick things that I 1) unabashedly loved and 2) thought would be a fun balance of different kinds of movies (especially for those who have never seen them). I had to leave loooooots off, but oh well, we'll do them next year.

It all starts a little before noon Pacific time on THIS Friday, 10/15 and we are watching over at https://www.twitch.tv/filmcrithulk Feel free to go in and out of the marathon as you please, but I'll be in that chat the whole time. It's so much fun there and I still think about certain moments we got to share (Chefs do that!)

Without further ado, here's the lineup!  

11:30-ish - PreShow Clips!

Noon - Cat People (1942) - I had to start it all off with older film and there are few better than this Tourneur / Lewton classic. It invented (or popularized) a whole bunch of great horror language. A genuinely fun movie.

115pm - Little Shop of Horrors (1986) - Hope you love Rick Moranis, Steve Martin, John Candy, Christopher Guest, Bill Murray and human-eating plants that sing!

250pm - Tremors - Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward just having a barrel of fun. The less said the better.

430pm - Jennifer's Body - Karyn Kusama's 2009 horror comedy was not just unfairly maligned, but stupefyingly missed out on by those who'd love it most. It's funny, freaky, and well-pointed; a genuine heir to Buffy.

615pm - RAW - Julia Ducournau's tour de force debut about two french sisters going to vet school, just with a tasteful amount of cannibalism.

8pm - John Carpenter's THE THING - A good candidate for the best horror film ever? Paranoia and otherworldly practical effects for days. Also peak hot Kurt Russell. A MUST WATCH if you've never seen.

10pm - Let The Right One In - Let's get arty with the ten spot! But this is genuinely one of the best horror films ever made. Weird. Unnerving. Yet deeply personable and strangely realistic. I couldn't NOT put it on the list.

Midnight - Secret Screening #1

130am - Secret Screening #2

310am - Secret Screening #3

Can't wait to watch all these with you!

Tangent: also, working on Bond mini-column, so that'll come this week, too.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN
