I ramble about three horror movie marathons I attended last October: 1. "Ha-Ha Horror" at Brain Dead Studios in Los Angeles, where I watched the following horror-comedies in 16mm: Once Bitten (1985); Vamp (1986); Elvira, Mistress of the Dark (1988); Lake Placid (1999); Transylvania 6-5000 (1985); and Night of the Comet (1984) 2. "Camp Frida: Monster Mash" at The Frida Cinema in Santa Ana, where I watched the creature features Razorback (1984); The Ritual (2017); Attack the Block (2011); Shakma (1990); Lifeforce (1985); and Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990) 3. "The 20th Annual Horrorthon" at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica, where I watched The Funhouse (1981); the uncensored cut of Night of the Living Dead (1990); Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II (1987); Demon Witch Child (1975); Squirm (1976); and Night of the Demon (1980)

(Note: During my "Night of the Comet" review, I messed up and said "Nicaragua" when I meant to say "Honduras". I will make sure to fire myself for that blunder.)

Welp. I find myself increasingly bummed by the outside world, and so I decided to cheer up by watching two made-for-television movies from the 1980s about nuclear war: The Day After (1983), directed by Nicholas Meyer and written by Edward Hume, and Threads (1984), directed by Mick Jackson and written by Barry Hines.

After my longest break yet, I pop back up just in time to want to go back into hiding, being Election Day and all. In the meantime, here are my ramblings on two horror movie marathons I attended in October: 1. "They're Here" at Brain Dead Studios in Los Angeles, where I watched the following haunted house-themed films in 16mm: Amityville II: The Possession (1982); Something Evil (1972); Poltergeist II: The Other Side (1986); The Others (2001); The Entity (1982); and House (1985)

2. "Camp Frida: British Invasion" at The Frida Cinema in Santa Ana, where I watched the following UK-based horror movies: Ghostwatch (1992); The Legend of Hell House (1973); The Blood on Satan's Claw (1971); Theatre of Blood (1973); Dracula (1958); and Xtro (1982)
