Here is a prime example of strange indy stuff that catches my attention. I like the unusual premise and the questions asked in the end of the trailer. While I can’t see this being a huge horror smash hit, I can see it being a interesting movie in it’s own right. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

The Grudge 2020 trailer
I’m not going to lie, I’ve never been a fan of the last, American Grudge remake that swept my middle school when I was a kid along with the American Ring remake. Whereas the last remake kept much of the Japanese influence, the 2020 movie seems to have scrapped it completely. For the most part it looks like a generic horror movie and I can’t see much promise in it. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Antlers trailer
Just when I think horror maybe dying, I find something damn interesting. Antlers has some striking visuals I wouldn’t expect anything less from Del Toro. I’m pretty hooked to find out what this creature is but I’m glad you don’t see much of it in the trailer. I’m pretty excited for Antlers now. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Halloween
Happy Halloween everyone, and I hope you all have a really fun, safe night. So for the holiday, I feel it’s only appropriate to talk about the quintessential Halloween movie about today. Halloween is the frightening story of Michael Myers who stabbed his sister to death Halloween night when he was six, and fifteen years later he escaped from Smith’s Grove Sanitarium and returned to his hometown of Haddonfield to kill again while being hunted by his terrified psychiatrist Dr Loomis.
Halloween is a prime example of simple horror done perfectly. Michael Myers is frighteningly cold but Donald Pleasence as Loomis and his haunted performance as Loomis elevates Michael to true legendary boogeyman status. The score by Carpenter is absolutely iconic. The ending is my favorite ever in horror and would have 1,000,000 times scarier without the truck loads of sequels. Halloween is a simple classic that is still scary today and I can’t recommend it enough. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Day 31, Xenomorph
Happy Halloween, and for the final day of our Halloween special I bring you the Xenomorph, my favorite biological death machine. Born with acid blood, razor claws, spear tipped tail, two sets of jaws, and and tongue that can pierce through metal is just the beginning of the horror of these iconic beasts. It’s easy to believe they are the perfect organism which only makes them more terrifying, whether one or a hundred, they are my ultimate beast. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Day 30, Mermaids
How many people grew up with Disney’s Little Mermaid? Remember feeling warm and captivated by the movie’s whimsical charm? Well, writer Scott Snyder brought us a dark, creepy version of the fabled underwater creatures he and Sean Murphy’s graphic novel The Wake. I loved the design of mermaids and how they are a ancient evil reawakened that will rule the waters of the world again. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Dead House (2014)
I put off watching Dead House for what seems like forever because it just seemed like a silly movie. Thieves break into a house only to discover hidden in the basement is a house of the dead. A silly but fun movie it seemed like admittedly.
I was so damn wrong and should have avoided this damn movie for longer. First, the thieves are essentially demented rapist that film it and stop to steal money from a safe for about 10 seconds to move the plot along. It is pretty graphic, so if you are easily upset or bothered by such things don’t watch it and definitely not around children.
The zombie portion doesn’t even show up until the last 20 minutes or so and even that seemed to be there for no other reason than to give us a twist ending and some shock value. Truthfully everything done in this movie is done somewhere else and it is done better. The movie has no real redeeming qualities outside of the acting being pretty well done on all parts. If you are morbidly curious feel free to give it a watch, aside from that skip this burning heap. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Day 29, The Cenobites
Pleasure is a subjective concept, as well as happiness, love, and arousal. The Cenobites are the embodiments of pleasure and pain that are summoned by solving the puzzle of the Lament Configuration. Deformed, cold hearted, and kept in a constant state of agony the Cenobites’s purpose is to present the solver of the box with ultimate joy. I love how much gravity accompanies them both in the The Hellbound Heart novella and the original Hellraiser movie. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Day 28,DeathClaw
The post- apocalyptic ruins of America are a dangerous place with the array of raiders, mutants, robots, and creatures- the most terrifying of which is the DeathClaw. What this creature’s origin pre-war is hard to tell, but these are the true apex predators of the Wastes. Incredibly strong with there namesake claws and equally deadly teeth and resist hides, these beasts are as good as a boss battle each encounter and fill you with dread. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Day 27,The Thing
The Thing is one of the most fascinating creatures in horror for the solid fact it has no definite shape. This microscopic organism replicates whatever life it comes into contact with, and as a defense mechanism, it reforms itself into a deadly mix of all the beings it has come into contact with. The Thing is one of the craziest looking things I’ve seen on screen and has unlimited possibilities when it comes to creativity. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
