2025 Scary Movie Challenge Day 9

40 comments:

  1. James Whale's BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1935, AMAZON 4K RENTAL). First time seeing movie in 4K.

    Shockingly minimal screen time for titular character.

    OR

    Una O'Connor's expressions worthy of "Looney Tunes."

    OR

    Pretorius: "... thought I was alone."
    Whale smiles.

  2. Ted Prior starring in brother David A. Prior's first feature film, SLEDGEHAMMER (1983, TUBI) for the first time.

    SOV slasher starts ultra-mega-super-mega-duper-slooooow. Finishes gloriously off-rails.

    OR

    Ted punches ghost kid, who bitch-slaps back!

    OR

    Grossest, most disturbing scene: food fight aftermath.

  3. Sam Raimi's THE EVIL DEAD (1981, 4K UHD).

    Ash put Linda's necklace on S-MART layaway.

    OR

    4K not conducive to Fake Shemp appreciation.
