SciFridays: “Dracula Untold” (2014)

Baddie – Ottoman Turks. Those guys never learn. Lesson – Great vampire movie, or GREATEST VAMPIRE MOVIE? Continuing the Octoberween Vampire spirit, I went to go see Dracula Untold and boy did I not regret it. Guys, I don’t think it’s a huge secret that I like these kinds of movies. Single guy against the world with some kind…

SciFridays: “Stake Land” (2010)

Baddie – Racist Vampires! Lesson – Teamwork makes the dreamwork. Ah yes, the crackle of leaves beneath your feet, the brisk Autumnal air, the barest whisper of – oh wait, I live in Texas now. It’s still hot, and everything is still green. Still! My Octoberween spirit can not be crushed, and as we plod headfirst into…

SciFridays: “The Thing” (1982)

Baddie – I mean, y’know. Aliens. Lesson – There’s a reason people don’t live full time in Antarctica. Just saying. So!

I saved this one for last because…

Baddie – Madness, slow-brewed over time. Lesson – Maybe, maybe a walrus is superior. I’m taking a quick break from Shame September because Tusk came out, and I needed to go and see it. I encouraged a friend of mine to drive all the way up to Austin for it, and as a result, that required a…

SciFridays: “The Exorcist” (1973)

Of all of the movies I shamefully have not watched, The Exorcist is the one I’ve seen the most of, just not consecutively. It’s one of the most referenced movies of all time, and it’s basically the definition of exorcism horror. To be…

SciFridays: “Nightmare on Elm Street” (1984)

Baddie – Teenagers not sleeping enough, probably. Lesson – This is the perfect 80s Horror. This month is sort of unofficially nicknamed Shameful September (I like theme months), where I’ll be watching classic horror films I, sigh, have not seen. Nightmare On Elm Street is one of them, despite going to college about twenty minutes…
