In topic: "Spooky Movie Season"

Thursday, October 2nd, 2025, 1:56 AM14 days ago

I'll start. I've been watching a new horror movie that I haven't seen everyday of October for the last 5 years. I started off this Halloween season with Pumpkinhead.

I'm not surprised that I liked it, since I'd heard good things and like several of the people involved, but I am surprised how much I liked it. The movie looks incredible, it has such dramatic and colorful lighting that I was not expecting from one of the (relatively) less well-known 80's horror movies. I also liked how it didn't feel like it was just joyfully killing off it's teenage cast for fun. Each death actually had weight and you saw how it affected all the other character. I do like movies that are just trying to kill off the very expendable cast in the most entertaining way, but it is nice to see this different approach. I'll be watching the sequels over the next three days. They probably won't live up to the same standard, but we'll see.
