Halloween is HERE!

Design by Austin Pardun

It’s finally October and Halloween Is here!

Many new releases this month to watch and be thrilled by.

October 1

East of Eden (Netflix) (Limited Series) – I binged this in two days. Florence Pugh is brilliant and can just play any dramatical character. I watched because I am a fan of her acting.

Evil Dead Burn (HBO Max)

I had to rewatch the first half hour three times to fully understand what was going on. It’s easy to get a little lost in an Evil Dead movie. The pace was great and there was plenty of humor once the story really got rolling. Also watch the end of credits for a scene that connects from Evil Dead Rise.

October 7th Carrie (Prime)

I’ve already binged the entire season in one night. It was so good and the soundtrack throughout the series were complete bangers. I highly recommend checking out the artist, Haute and Freddy. They did the songs “Anti-Hero”, “Shy Girl”, and “I like my people weird”.

This Carrie was completely modern and Mike did an amazing job with this. I hope there is a second season. Even Stephen King was happy with Mike’s work.

Some are upset because I guess it gives off some Dark Tower vibes. Which I haven’t watched the film or read the book yet. I am behind on that and the other show on HBO Max.

October 9

R. L. Stein’s Pumpkinhead 2 (Tubi) (NEW)

October 15

Crystal Lake (Peacock) (series) Prequel of Jason and his mother, Pamela Voorhese.

October 23

The Invite (HBO Max)

I just read that this was going to be released. I’m somewhat excited to watch this because I genuinely enjoy Oliva WIlde’s acting. I loved her in the movie that she also directed, “Don’t Worry Darling”. Her character in that film was so much fun and really brought a lot to the storyline.

ALL MONTH ON AMC and AMC PLUS FEAR FEST 31 DAYS 24/7 NON STOP HORROR MOVIES!

Go to AMC’s website or your local TV Listings for the schedule.

Happy Halloween Eve

It’s that time of year again. Kids are back in school and Labor Day has passed and Halloween is right around the corner. Time has slipped away from me towards the end of August and I’ve told myself I need to go and write and make a new post. As I’m now just editing this post in full (haha).

August as far as streaming was slow. I did watch Mother Mary on HBO Max and it was okay to watch. It was more psychological as it focused on the relationship between Mary and her former designer.

I rented Backrooms, which is finally six dollars to rent vs twenty. It was worth it! Backrooms was such a good movie and I haven’t had a fun jump scare since I’ve watched The Grudge in theaters and The Blair Witch Project on VHS. If you haven’t watched it please try to go rent it or watch it at your local theater, if it’s still playing there. Kane Parsons on his YouTube channel put his OG Backrooms series back up to watch. Kane Parsons created Backrooms and he directed the A24 production of the movie and it was just so enjoyable and entertaining. It will be premiering on HBO on September 25.

Last of July and Beginning of August

A few things I’ve watched from last week and into this week

Obsession (2026)

Available to stream on Peacock and I had fun watching this film. I shouldn’t say we all have, but some of have gone through the urgent and desperate feelings either in adolescence or as an adult over someone we “loved”.

Bear has romantic feelings for Nikki and she doesn’t reciprocate his feelings. Bear ends up at a crystal or new age shop trying to find a present for Nikki, because she’s planning on moving to another state to get a fresh start. Bear finds this trinket toy called One Wish Willow. The box says One Wish Willow make one wish and it’ll come true. There is a warning on the box that says be careful what you wish for.

He ends up making the wish in his car after he drops off Nikki at her house. The chaos is a slow medium build up but it’s a wild ride.

I genuinely enjoyed the movie because the obsessive feelings that Nikki goes through, after Bear makes that wish, just reminds me of when I was a teenager and how I would feel towards boys I liked or even so called dated. For me yeah I laughed and enjoyed the chaos.

I felt so bad for Nikki though and though throughout the movie, please let this end for her.

If you haven’t seen it yet go watch it, create a fake account and do a free trial just so you can watch the movie. I’ve done that so many times just to watch a movie on streaming for free. Or if you know where to watch go do that.

Toxic Love Story (On Netflix)

I love documentaries and true crime. Yes it is a time where you can relax and just get out of your head for awhile. At the same time think, “Oh my god what the hell?!?!”

Here is a couple, Marshal and Angela, and they meet and fall in love and do the moving in together thing. Later in the relationship they start to get these vicious emails and the police get involved, someone gets arrested, and at some point the FBI get involved.

It’s a roller coaster of insane betrayal and honestly I feel safer being single and not dating. Nope. I’m good.

Here is everything you need to know about what’s coming out in August

I’m looking forward to The Drama on HBO, which releases on July 31st. What a way to end the month of July. Enjoy watching A24 movies for now because they signed a contract with Google and Deepfake for AI.

The Drama is an romantic black comedy movie and stars Zendaya and Robert Pattinson. Here is the trailer.

It’s been awhile

It’s mid July and I haven’t posted or done much of anything while I was finishing up College Algebra, which is a nightmare class. I don’t recommend it but sadly it is required to graduate as an extra math or science elective.

I am getting back to where I have some time again so I hope to at least write once or twice a month here.

Things to geek out about!

Book News

H.D. Carlton, Mother herself, went live on TikTok this week and Haunting Adeline and Hunting Adeline will be movies!

Haunting Adeline is first of course and hopefully with a premiere date of sometime in 2027. Before you say anything else, yes the gun part and fun house mirrors will be in the movie. I Just hope that it is not rushed because rushed movies never turn out well.

Check out H.D. Carlton’s website and TikTok.

We only have a few months left until the release of ACOTAR Book 6.!

Book 7 will come out sometime in 2027.

Hellraiser and Godzilla have new comics out this month.

Streaming releases

Sadly Joe Bob Briggs and The Last Drive In have been cancelled from Shudder. They will announce their new home either this Christmas or New Years Eve.

They have everything Joe Bob and The Last Drive, as Shudder is removing Joe Bob completely from their platform, except for the few specials he will be doing this year.

Go subscribe to Darcy or Joe Bob on Twitter, Blue sky, Patreon (The Lost Drive In), and Facebook.

HBO has released Undertone which I haven’t seen yet and at some point I will. I just didn’t really read good reviews about it. You can also watch Lee Cronin’s, The Mummy.

July 31st HBO will release the A24 film, The Drama.

Sadly A24 has announced moving forward they will be partnering with two AI companies in making movies in the future. Many will be boycotting new A24 films that are done with AI.

Exclusively on Peacock October 15th, 2026 A24’s Crystal Lake. A prequel that will consist of 8 episodes focusing on Jason drowning and then his Mom killing everyone.

Netflix released the new Little House on the Prairie , Worst Neighbor Ever, and Enola Holmes season 3.

July 17th for Heartstopper fans, Heartstopper: Forever releases. It will be finale of the series.

That’s it for this week.

Happy New Year

It’s the end of 2025 and the end of Stranger Things. It was also the end of Squid Games. Which that one felt very rushed. I was kinda disappointed with the ending of Squid Games.

Now what? What’s the next great show or movie to come?

We will have to wait for 2026 to arrive and keep our eyes peeled.

Wishing you all a happy and shiny new year.

Happy Halloween

We made it to Halloween! Wishing you a happy Halloween 🎃 remember to follow the rules.

15 Days of Halloween Day 14

Parody horror films. Need I say more?

Parodies of horror movies exist because the original films have been popular and the topic overused.

Return of the living dead franchise and the Scary Movie franchise are the first parodies that come to mind.

The best phrase came from the first Scary Movie film to where we all called our friends saying “Wassssup”.

Return of the living dead brought the phrase “Brains I need more brains”.

Whether you love them or hate them parodies keep the spirit of the original movies we love to watch.

15 Days of Halloween Day 13

Masks. Why do so many killers wear masks?

One we know that masks can hide the true identity of the person. Two they may have physical traits that they want to hide. Three masks can make the scene more thrilling and exciting. (Not in the way we want them to be lol)

There’s also movies that don’t reveal the killer’s image or likeness at all. The film “Black Christmas” they never showed who the killer was only where the phone calls were coming from. Or you don’t get to see who the killer is until 45 minutes later into the film.

What are your thoughts on masked killers in films?

15 Days of Halloween Day 12

Long live Tim Burton

My first Tim Burton film (I didn’t know who he was until I was 21) was “Edward Scissorhands.” I fell in love with the characters and thought it was so cool that someone had scissors for hands. My favorite part of the movie is the show and tell at school.

As an adult now in my mid life I truly love the film “Sweeney Todd.” The songs were so addictive to listen to. Oddly enough the song “Joanna” sounds similar to the song “Maria” from West Side Story. Go give both a listen and lemme know in the comments.

What Tim Burton films are your favorite?
