Fright Flicks Friday

 I set myself a small goal to watch at least 20 Schoctober or Halloween inspired movies this October. So far so good for this week but next week could look a lot different. Work is going to be nuts and time will be short. Anyway if your interested here is a look at the monsters to invade the Man Cave so far. 

October 2nd Halloween at Aunt Ethel's 2019 (Amazon Prime)

Everyone in town knows the story of Old Aunt Ethel. It's said she makes Halloween candy and pumpkin pie out of the kids that trick-or-treat at her house. This Halloween, the neighborhood teens are going to find out the truth.

Ok look this is a very low budget movie with some heart. The story is fun the cinematography is not to bad. Aunt Ethel is a hoot. Now the acting well that slows down the movie. But that should not stop you from checking out this flick. This is right up the alley for teenage boys with plenty of nudity, alcohol, and drugs. The ending was defiantly worth the build-up.

October 2nd Robot Ninja 1989 (Dread Central)

A scientist helps a comic-book artist to become the superhero he has created in order to battle a vicious gang of rapists.

This Tempe Video was a hit back in the heyday of VHS and one that has been on my bucket list for a few years now. Thanks to the free Roku Channel Dead Central I was able to dive in. This movie starts strong and finishes rather weak. Still, I had a blast watching this 80s cheese-fest. 

Oct. 4th South Park: The Pandemic Special 2020 (Comedy Central)

Randy comes to terms with his role in the COVID-19 outbreak as the on-going pandemic presents continued challenges to the citizens of South Park. The kids happily head back to school but nothing resembles the normal that they once knew; not their teachers, not their homeroom, not even Eric Cartman.

This needed more Cartman and less Randy such a letdown.

Oct. 5th Weekend of Terror 1970 (YouTube)

Three nuns on a weekend trip are held hostage by escaped convicts. I'm a sucker for these made for TV thrillers and this one stared Lee Majors so why not, well its a should not. So boring and drawn out sadly its one of the worst things I have ever watched. 

October 2nd The Monster of Piedras Blancas 1959 (Amazon Prime)

HE PREYS ON HUMAN FLESH! And sadly puts the viewer to Sleep. 

An old lighthouse keeper who lives with his daughter secretly keeps a prehistoric fish-man by feeding it scraps and fish. One day he misses the feeding and all hell breaks loose.

One extra Bloody Brain due to the cool monster.

October 7th American Pie Presents Girls' Rules 2020 (Netflix)

It’s Senior year at East Great Falls. Annie, Kayla, Michelle, and Stephanie decide to harness their girl power and band together to get what they want their last year of high school.

I get it, the formula is unchanged and that might be a deterrent for many. I like the comfort food that the American Pie straight to video offers. With Girls Rules, we get a fresh spin on an old tale. We also watch a few Disney Stars grow up right in front of our eyes.

The ending comes as a nice touch giving this entry a little more heart. I enjoyed this slice more than most (or is it moist?)

If your a fan of the pie movies you will find yourself in comfortable territory. If your not a fan maybe this one will be new and fresh for you.

No, it's not Halloween but still worth it.

October 7th Don't Fuck in the Woods 2016 (TubiTv)

YOU'RE GOING TO NEED PROTECTION!

A group of friends is going on a camping trip to celebrate graduating from college. But once they enter the woods, the proverbial shit starts to hit the fan. Oh, how I love these no-budget flicks with a nice monster and a bad acting cast. Don't F in the woods is a cheese-fest with an odd amount of well sex and death. Unless you like crappy movies stay clear of this one if you like crappy movies press play already!

 October 7, 2020, Hubie Halloween 2020 (Netflix)

For my full review Click here. 

Not too bad so far getting to 20 will still be a stretch but 6 in the can so far make if feel obtainable. With Hubie Halloween being the clear-cut winner so far this week. Make sure you are checking out the other Halloween Fanatics counting down the days until Michael comes home.
