What's the last movie you've seen?

The Woman King. I actually like it, but I only watched it because I was on a plane and it was the only movie I had downloaded on my phone.
 
The last movie I watched I think was Jojo Rabbit... hadn't seen it before but been meaning to watch it for years. Great movie, my husband especially loved it. Taika Waititi is a treasure

next up... Terminator 3.. when it arrives (could only find it on dvd lmao what)
 
I finally got around to watching Corpse Bride.

This weekend my family and I rewatched Edward Scissorhands. It’s kind of depressing watching it as an adult.
 
Beginning the October section of my Halloween horror movie marathon after my most recent post highlighted the things I fit into a bit of September. I had intended to do it weekly but got a bit sidetracked.

October 1
I started off with director Ryan Coogler's highly acclaimed movie Sinners which released earlier this year. I almost watched it in September originally since I saw online that there was some contention over whether it was "horror" enough since it's kind of a bunch of genres mixed together. I'm glad I waited and started off the month with this though because I really enjoyed it. I'd say it had sufficient enough horror elements to fit the spooky month vibe.

Following up one Southern vampire film with another, I also did my yearly viewing of director Kathryn Bigelow's 1987 movie Near Dark.

October 2
I started with my yearly viewing of director James Whale's 1932 movie The Old Dark House.

I followed it up with something I hadn't seen before, director Robert Siodmak's 1946 movie The Spiral Staircase. I hadn't heard of it up until the past few weeks while doing research into new things to check out. I liked it.

October 3
The regularly scheduled monthly installment of The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs was on the Shudder streaming service and the theme was Survival Night. Two movies I'd never heard of before, so that was cool.

First up was director Anthony Waller's 1995 movie Mute Witness. Wild coincidence that I had just watched The Spiral Staircase the night before because that movie and Mute Witness both feature non-speaking female protagonists. I thought this was pretty fun.

The second movie was director Andrew Davis's 1983 movie The Final Terror. This one was okay, I didn't hate it but it wasn't altogether a remarkable or particularly memorable movie. Part of the motivation for showing it was that the guest, C. Robert Cargill, really likes it for the cinematography. I did appreciate the nature shown throughout.

October 4
As it was Saturday, I kept holy the sabbath by revisiting director Mario Bava's 1963 anthology movie Black Sabbath.

I followed it with another revisit of director Lucio Fulci's 1981 movie The Beyond.

October 5
The dead walked the Earth in this international double feature from the 70s.

First up was a revisit of director Jorge Grau's 1974 movie Let Sleeping Corpses Lie (also known as The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue).

I followed it with a revisit of director Amando de Ossorio's 1972 movie Tombs of the Blind Dead.

October 6
In honor of the full Hunter's Moon, which also happened to be a supermoon, the werewolves were let loose.

Yearly viewing of director John Landis's 1981 movie An American Werewolf in London.

Followed by the yearly viewing of director Joe Dante's 1981 movie The Howling.

It always just feels appropriate to watch those two together each year since they're some of the best werewolf movies and both came out in 1981.

October 7
The power of Christ compelled me to do my yearly viewing of director William Friedkin's 1973 movie The Exorcist.

Of course, I can't watch that without following it up with the great sequel directed by The Exorcist author William Peter Blatty: The Exorcist III, released in the year 1990.

October 8
Exorcisms are rather taxing so this called for a nice Summer camp getaway.

Yearly viewing of director Sean S. Cunningham's 1980 movie Friday the 13th.

Followed by the yearly viewing of director Steve Miner's 1981 movie Friday the 13th Part 2.

October 9
Yearly viewing of director Steve Miner's 1982 movie Friday the 13th Part III: 3D.

Yearly viewing of director Joseph Zito's 1984 movie Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter.

October 10
Yearly viewing of director Danny Steinmann's 1985 movie Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning.

Yearly viewing of director Tom McLoughlin's 1986 movie Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives.

October 11
Bringing us to tonight's viewing, I felt like going for a fun 80s night.

First up, I wanted something to "Thrill Me!", so I chose to do my yearly viewing of director Fred Dekker's 1986 movie Night of the Creeps.

Followed it up the yearly viewing of director Chuck Russel's 1988 version of The Blob.

I'll list out the upcoming week's viewings (12th-19th) next time.
 
I watched the first half of Elio before falling asleep from being up late the night before! I will re-watch it tonight to finish the second half! I really enjoyed the first half I did watch though. 🛸🩷
