2020 Scary Movie Challenge Day 15

109 comments:

  1. Another highly-anticipated Scary Movie Month spot for my schedule. Had to pull from storage my old 58" 3D Vizio TV (I traded up to a 65" 4K TCL set two years ago), clean the damn thing, set it up and update my Blu-ray player's OS. Despite getting a headache (I know!) it was TOTALLY WORTH IT, especially since I get to use the same set-up for a second day of 3D horror later this month. :-)

    Charles Band's PARASITE 3D (1982, 3D Blu-ray) for the first time.

    Check out young Demi Moore's succulent lemons.

    Back when Stan Winston was hungry, poor.

    Replies
    1. I just got a Mill Creek collection of Hammer films with that one it. I considered watching Never Take Sweets... but realized it was more of a crime drama than a horror film. Most of the films in the set are thrillers, actually. Hammer was a lot more than horror.

      Delete
    2. Probably the same set I have if it has The Snorkel, Maniac, etc. Way more thriller/crime drama/suspense but was blown away by the performances. Sometimes, true horror is right next door. Long live Hammer!
