Halloween 2026

Its so silly and ridiculous, and barely a horror movie, but you know, it's Bruce Campbell fighting an army of the dead. 

It's a pretty cool expansion to the backrooms concept, and it was really well done, but it also feels a bit aimless, and there are a couple things that feel like they were added to fill out the movie, but don't feel necessary or tied to anything in a meaningful way.

I can't believe it took me this long to watch this movie. I was aware of it being credited as the prototype for slashers, but I didn't know much beyond that. I expected to see some slasher DNA, but also assumed it'd be either kind of bland, or just bad. But it was neither of those things! I'm so surprised by how good this was. Great cast of characters, some really creative shots, some genuinely creepy elements, and a whodunit aspect that kept me interested.

I think I liked this more than the first one. Still a little hokey, and two characters were set up so obviously to be safe fodder for The Grabber, but scarier overall, and stylisticly fun at times.

It gets a 3 just because it leans all the way in to the silliness, and because Herbert West is operating at 100%. Don't expect much else, but it's pretty fun.

I really enjoyed it! The whole time it had me wondering something, which...resolved at the end in a pretty satisfying way. Great performances by the leads, too!

It's so bad. It's such a pointless movie. It's M3GAN, and it has nothing that made Child's Play an enduring, lovable franchise. It's just so bad. The acting is fine, and some of the characters are fine, but other than that, it has nothing of value.

This three knife rating is based very much on rating it for what it is: a cheesy, schlocky, low-budget good time—and it is successful at being that. Some pretty hilarious lines (and line delivery), and some super silly, but fun kills.

I think I liked this one more than the first? I think I like Creep, but I don't think I love it? Lots of mixed feelings clearly, haha.

A lot better than I assumed it would be, but overall it was kind of one-note, and not super interesting.

It was fine for what it was. Definitely suspenseful, but ultimately, I didn't care a whole lot about who the mystery person was or why they were doing it.

Funny, delightfully campy, and ridiculous. 

Decent, I guess, but it's hard for me not to compare it to the original and feel like this didn't add enough to make it feel worth it.

This was not a movie I was looking to watch, but it was available on a roku at a rental when I wasn't feeling well, so there ya go. It was bad. Really bad. Impressively much worse than the first. If you're not a teen superfan of FNAF, you're not going to like this movie.

It's absurd, it's over-the-top, it's schlocky...it's not great. If you're a fan of the so bad it's good kind of movie then you'll probably have fun with this one, but I wasn't crazy about it.

The sets were incredible, the acting was great, but it was just a bit too romantic for my taste. I think I went into it thinking "horror", but if you go into it thinking "period drama" you'll have a better time.

Overall, I thought it was a really fun watch. A great mix of shorts that probably has something for every Horror fan. My favorites were Jynx, Dagnabbit!, and Vape Glow, but I thought all of them were really well done and had something to offer. The wraparound was fun too, even if the practical effects were a bit lacking.

Fantastic practical effects, and a cast I'm predisposed to love. Who needs a reason for the crazy shit going on here? It's fun! It's gross!

This was far from my favorite movie, but for what it was trying to be, I think it totally nailed it.

The first one was decent at genre mixing, but still felt arguably like a PG-13 horror movie—this movie isn't really horror at all. I guess I'm even adding it here just because it's a sequel. 

Not amazing overall, but it does somehow feel like a unique take on the serial killer story, and it's pretty gross and ugly, and not because the quality or special effects were great (they weren't). 

I loved it. Great atmosphere, great characters, and scary (including jump scares, which can feel gimmicky, but don't in this case). 

I appreciate it for it's b movie charm (and low quality), but it's one of those movies that's in that weird in between of so bad it's good, and just regular good, so it mostly just feels bad. I dunno. You should still watch it.

I love these klowns!

What is this movie even? Definitely a so bad it's funny kind of watch. I wish I could have been a fly on the wall when they were writing it, cause if they started with "a leprachaun horror movie," I just have no idea how they could have ended up with what they wrote. 

This was surprisingly good. For the first half, I thought it was pretty lame, and it was a setup. The payoff was great.

Fantastic.

Not great, but pretty fun at times.

Holy shit. I thought this was fantastic. I don't know the last time I was that anxious or on edge watching a movie. The fear and dread I felt over the visual horror (like jump scares, visuals, gore) was probably equal to what I felt with some of the scenarios or subtext. It was unlike anything I've seen. Visually it was also beautiful. An instant classic.

Did this one make it make sense? No. But I don't know, for some reason I had a lot of fun with this one. 

I enjoyed it quite a bit! You have to be a Phantasm fan, or this is just going to be super boring. It's a bit slow, but it's definitely back to the dreamier, what the hell is going on kind of thing the first one had going for it. 

The second star is purely because I just like Phantasm. It's not good. It's bad. But it's Phantasm, so I can't help but enjoy it a little.

I'm surprised by how much I enjoyed this. There's not much too it, and the characters are pretty bland, but some fun setups and gnarly gore.

This was pretty awful. Anthony Perkins is really great as Bates, again, but otherwise everything is either just plain bad or a tired retreadding of the original.

The 2 stars are for Pumpkinhead alone. Fantastic special effects makeup, a great Eraserhead baby thing, but the movie is horrible otherwise.

The human-sized puppet faces are awesome, but otherwise, this is mostly boring. Bad in pretty much the same way as the first, but without any of the cheese or sleeze that at least makes that one entertaining. The scene with a petty, jealous Toulon ruining the main characters' dance is hilarious though.

I appreciate it for being so iconic, and while this was the first time I actually watched the movie in its entirety, I had some video when I was around 11 or 12 that was a collection of the "scariest" scenes from horror movies, and the final elevator kill was in it, and between this and Trilogy of Terror, I was effectively terrified of tiny little killer doll things. But yeah, the movie is pretty bad. It's still quite fun to watch, though.

Another fun ride! I think I may have liked this one even more than the first. The sister thread felt a bit forced, but a great cast, and some very memorable moments.

It hasn't aged well, but some elements are still pretty good and genuinely funny. 

Anna Faris and Regina Hall are hilarious, and definitely the best part of these movies (so far), but otherwise this was pretty bland.

Fun and silly, and mostly enjoyable, but not much too it.

Parts of the movie were genuinely eerie, and had my heart racing, so it was effective at doing what few horror movies actually do to me, and it's one of the feelings I'm chasing when watching these things. But the overall story, villian, and ending were all kind of lacking for my taste. Still a pretty good horror movie.

I really liked it! I love the cozy, spooky ambiance, and it's also pretty bonkers—in a good way. Some genuinely impressive effects, as well as some pretty bad ones. A great cast and a killer use of Boadicea by Enya.

Very intense, but so stylish, and a pretty good twist that if I were smarter, I think I would have caught on much sooner. 

It's hard not to love the Crypt Keeper! I think this is great at exactly what it was meant to be. It's got style, it's (mostly) fun, and having grown up on Are You Afraid of the Dark?, I really enjoyed the sleazy adult version—or, original, rather.

I think this format is actually the better format for Creep. The movies kinda stretch on beyond what's needed, and this shorter snappier form is a lot more fun.

It starts to feel a little repetative, and I don't really findany of it to be remarkable, but yet I did keep watching, so there's something about it I like that I can't quite figure out.

I think the best season so far. I'm glad they are really playing with the format and settings. Still feels a bit repetative, but for some reason I do like the Creep.

I saw this once in College as a part of a group strictly for the shock value of it, and I didn't remember it for anything but being ridiculous, but I was compelled by Chelsea Rebecca from Dead Meat to give this a second chance, and I was pleasantly surprised. It's not a bad movie. It's also not quite as over-the-top or exploitive as I recalled, or as its reputation would lead you to believe. There's actually some smart things going on, it's well shot, and there's also some really good acting in it. The villain is terrifying, too.

I'm not crazy for musicals, but I can see why this is such a cultural milestone and such an important piece of art for so many people. Weirdos unite!

I am surprised at how decent I thought this was considering it's a remake of one of my favorites, but overall it still felt unnecessary. Still, some great shots, some good lighting, and some exciting moments.

I did really like it. Most (except the last scene) of the SFX were awesome, and gross. And there were a few great scares, and the acting was great! I just didn't feel wowed. Like, I didn't think about it too much after seeing it. But it was pretty good!

It's very fun. There's not too much substance to it, but it's funny, and very stylistic, and it has a lot of heart.

I thought this was really well done. Effectively eerie and unsettling for almost the entire runtime. The sound is fantastic, and Nina Kiri does a wonderful job as Evy.

I really enjoyed it! Fun, super funny, and a few times it was genuinely creepy. Clearly, some horror fans were behind this, too.

Meh. Very bleak, but not in a very interesting way. Maybe it would have felt a lot more impactful seeing when it came out, but seeing it now this plot seems a bit tired. Brittany Snow and Jeffrey Combs are great though.
