Horror Comedies.

It's a bit late in the day, but I wrote a fun little post about horror comedies I like! :D

Laughter is said to be some of the best medicine. I mean, maybe not for like literal medical problems, but the phrase is kind of a cute happy thing. I love certain types of comedy. Like the good one-liners, zany shenanigans, or even recurring gags make me giggle. I am also a horror fan though. (Sit down! Sit down! You all knew this already, unless this is the first blog post you’re reading from…

Been a while since I updated here! Because it’s been a while since I have watched any horror films.

But yesterday I watched Werewolves Within! So that was a pretty good movie! I loved the cast of characters, the misdirection. However, the clues were a bit too obvious and it was easy to pinpoint the werewolf(ves?) halfway through the film. However, this didn’t really take away from the experience, as it was still very enjoyable despite correctly identitying the werewolf(ves?)

Best things about this movie were for sure the cast, the comedy, and the witty dialogue.

I do wish that there either was a bit more mystery to the identity of the werewolf(ves.) ^_^

Rating The Horror Movies I Have Watched.

Hey! (This is a repost from the other blog! 😀 Just making sure it’s on the new blog!) Surprise! It’s been a while since I have done this, but I think it’s time to share some unsolicited horror movie opinions! Doesn’t that sound so very fun! During my attempts to watch horror movies every day for the past few Marches and Octobers, I have watched quite a few horror films. Like there have been a…

Ten Ways to Survive a Horror Film. (Seven Years Later)

Back in 2017, I wrote a post called Ten Ways to Survive a Horror Film (Not to be confused with “Ten Ways to Survive a Slasher Film” #comingsoon >:3) in which I used my characters to detail some silly horror scenarios. However, I am not the same age as I was back then. I am a very serious author now… Okay, maybe not so serious. But I did want to go back and rewrite this post, as I seem to be…

More Unsolicited Horror Movie Ratings!

Anyone who knows me, knows that the last post barely put a dent in the number of horror films I have watched. The most surprising thing about it to me, is that I actually found time to watch them all. But I really like a lot of these movies, and I know there are others out there who may like them too. So with that being said, you know the deal! Here are ten more horror movies and my rankings.…

Horror movie/game sequels that use the same character are so funny to me because it's like, I went through the horrors, it'll probably haunt me forever, but I survived...I survived. And then a couple years later: fuck, shit, the horrors again?! Are you kidding me?! Alright, I guess we're doing this

How To Survive A Horror Film (2023)

I have followed ReadyComicsRoll on Tiktok for a while. So when I saw that the channel was behind the production of a horror short film, I knew I wanted to watch it. I just needed time. And that time has come.

Wonderful movie! This is clearly made by people who love horror films! (Especially slashers like Scream.) There was a good amount of explanation of horror tropes and qualities like the character archetypes. The message of the first half seems simple enough. Follow the rules, and increase your odds of getting out alive. Break them, and it's a lot easier for the killer to cross you off their list.

For its twenty-eight-minute run time, it was a good film. Some of the dialogue was a bit interesting. But I didn't really mind. The film had an idea, and it executed it pretty well.

I did see the first twist coming. But I didn't see the motive/reason coming. And it honestly adds a flair to the reveal.

HOWEVER, the second one immediately got me! That was so artsy!

The practical effects in this film were good and there was some good humor that actually made me chuckle. A well-done flick. (Also, DAHLIA! I haven't seen Dalhia in anything outside of Thomas Sanders' YouTube Channel!)

Here's a chill summary of my movie watching experience from October. It's late, but I had to take mental health time, and I was kinda making myself feel like it was an obligation and not something cool and fun. :) Enjoy.

Well! Guess I have to watch them all now!

31 Days of Horror

Day Seventeen: Nerdy Prudes Must Die

A fun horror musical on YouTube is by no means cheating.

I watched this Team Starkid musical last night and had a fantastic time. Some of the songs were super catchy, the jokes landed, and there were some solid moments of terror.

This will also be the second slasher musical I watched in the month of October, after the surprisingly decent Stage Fright.

This is my first Team Starkid project and I am kind of ashamed I started with their newest venture. Because this cast of actors is great. I loved all of the characters and the absurdity of some of the comedy. But it worked. It kept me engaged the whole time.

As a self-proclaimed nerd, I didn’t hate the over exaggerated stereotypes that the musical used. And I loved the central character relationship of Peter and Steph.

The preacher’s kid in me got a kick out of Grace Chastity and all her “totally not” evil antics. (I love Angela Giarratana.) And the big crude football player/fucking monster (Max Jägerman) was equally hateable and loveable at the same time.

Nerdy Prudes Must Die was a fantastic musical and definitely made me realize I need to watch more of Team Starkid.

31 Days of Horror Day 16: Goosebumps

My conquest for the month kind of came to a screeching halt because of some personal things. Mental health comes first, and when a fun challenge starts to feel like an obligation it may be time to take a step back.

I watched the Goosebumps show that has been slowly releasing this fall on Hulu.

Since the show is not over yet, I am not saying much!

I love this fucking show. I was the kid in elementary schools that would read Goosebumps books during class, and hide them in my desk if I thought I was about to get caught.

I have watched six of the seven released episodes, and I am hooked.

The core cast of the five main characters, Justin Long, and Rachel Harris are amazing! I especially love the performance of Miles Mckenna, who I have followed on youtube for a while. This is the first time i have seen him act, and I am so happy to say that the roles they play in this show are one of my favorite parts.

And of course, the villainous forces of the show are all good too. Equal parts suspenseful, scary, and quite a bit silly.

31 Days of Horror! Day Fifteen: The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster

I didn't know what to expect going into this movie, only that it was going to be very reminiscent of the story of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. I am very excited to say that my expectations going into this movie were surpassed. It was a brilliant film.

The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster was the directorial debut of director Bomani J. Story and produced by Crypt TV. It stars Layla DeLeon Hayes, Chad L. Coleman, Denzel Whitaker, and Edem Atsu-Swanzy.

The movie follows a teenage black woman with a brilliant scientific mind who successfully resurrects her dead brother, Chris. But things go wrong. Horribly wrong.

This movie, as I said earlier, takes inspiration from Mary Shelley's classic and gives it a more modern rehash, and a primarily black cast The movie had themes pertaining to racial and social issues, and didn't use the characters or the settings as stereotypes. The characters were all likeable and I felt really invested in all of them.

The story is also a very tragic one. Vicaria is a teenage girl who by the time the movie is underway has lost a mother and a brother. Her philosophy of death being a disease, while farfetched, is a reasonable conclusion to come to. She's lost people, and she had no one to really help her understand her grief. She retreated into her scientific mind.

Another thing I really liked, is that none of our main characters are cut-and-dry antagonists. Sure, some of them do antagonistic things, but every character has reasons for the things they do that is understandable. While characters make decisions, I don't necessarily blame them for them. If anything, the system that in which these decisions to be made is the real monster.

It's a tangent. But I loved this movie. It was intense, it was sad, and it made me think. :)
