Category: Spooktober 2026
Dracula A.D. 1972, or, Wah-wahmpire
The Count finds himself in London in the swingin’ 1970s and he’s got a score to settle with some rambunctious youths
The Terrornauts, or, Worst Contact
The charmingly old-school, low-budget British sci-fi movie I’d been hoping to see… is nowhere to be found in The Terrornauts
The Haunting, or, Some Adaptations Are Born Bad
Revisited the revered 1963 haunted house movie and verified that I don’t like it
Mārama, or, Walking Backwards Into The Future
A Victorian gothic horror/revenge movie about the horrors of colonization of Aotearoa and appropriation of Māori culture. (General spoilers)
Phantasm III, or, The Idea Of Rocky
My official launch of Spooktober 2026 is my farewell to the Phantasm series
The Old Dark House, or, Who Let the Saul Out?
An absolutely bonkers collaboration between James Whale and Boris Karloff, but not that one
The Babadook, or, It’s Nice to Have a Man About the House
Continuing early Spooktober with an excellent movie that I hated watching
What Lies Beneath, or, People Who Live in Glass Houses Shouldn’t Do Rear Window
Soft-launching Spooktober 2026 with a Dreamworks version of Hitchcock that everybody’s already seen (no spoilers anyway)
