31 Days of Horror Marathon 2025
11. The Omen (1976) (Philo)
Richard Donner has a damn near unfukwittable film director run from the 70's through the early 2000s.
The Omen is religious horror at its peak. the lighting, the score, the pacing , the use of religious imagery, the atmosphere & the overall sense of dread... it just works
The second doctor from Doctor from Doctor who stimi as the priest was aplus too. Nikka should have regenerated after his death scene.
the sequel is just as good, maybe better.
the only thing that brings is down, is the kid playing Damien, he's a pretentious little fukk and his voice gets on my nerves.
12. Pumpkinhead (1988) (Tubi, Prime, Philo)
this movie is extremely underrated , even within the Horror community , this movie does not get the props it deserved.
Lance Henriksen acted his a$$ off in this movie. You can feel his pain and regret all through the flick
the creature design was top notch as well.
This is another series that the original was not done justice by a slew of crappy sequels.
13. Dead Sushi (2012) (plex, tubi)
Fukkery for Fukkerys' sake
Japanese ( non ghost) horror is an acquired taste,
Lots of gore , corny humor and the FX were top notch, the fight scenes were surprisingly well done too
its a good break from all the serious flicks we have been viewing.
14. Carnival of Souls (1962) (HBO Max, Tubi, Plex)
A lot of people call it the definitive neo - noir horror film
Another very atmospheric flick, well acted -
it did drag in certain spots though and felt like an extended Twilight zone episode
if it was directed by David Lynch. You can spot the similarities between this and Lynch's Lost highway
the way the beginning and the end are very abrupt and in your face as compared to the deliberate slow build up used in the rest of the film is jarring.

once that bandana goes up,, it's OVER!!
