Ghost Story – Appetizer Review
Based on a book by Peter Straub, the movie has some great stars – including Fred Astaire and Douglas Fairbanks. Didn’t enjoy the book overly and the movie did nothing to make it better. Just didn’t draw me in. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_Story_(1981_film) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082449 Amazon – https://amzn.to/4oURtP4

Lee Cronin’s The Mummy – Appetizer Review
Not connected to any of the other Mummy movies. It’s a good movie with an interesting plot. I felt it was more like one of the Evil Dead movies. Worth seeing. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt32612507 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Cronin%27s_The_Mummy Get it on Amazon https://amzn.to/4f8a5HS

Weapons – Appetizer Review
Interesting movie. I might classify it more as a thriller told with horror elements. A mystery where we get the story doled out in vignettes from different characters perspectives and they keep adding, layering and meshing. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26581740 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weapons_(2025_film) Amazon – https://amzn.to/4vaJEaf

Final Destination 5 – Appetizer Review
We know the story – same as the last 4. The only reason to watch this is the same reason to watch slasher movies – what gruesome deaths will they show. The ending twist was fun. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1622979 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Destination_5 Get it on Amazon – https://amzn.to/4vKFoOI

Jeepers Creepers Reborn – Appetizer Review
It was kind of a reboot of the series without pretending the other ones don’t exist. Different director. Just didn’t seem to have the impact of the others. not horrible but if this was the first one I saw, wouldn’t make me rush out to see the others. They made the creeper too much like…

Jeepers Creepers 3 – Appetizer Review
The 3rd one actually takes place between the first 2. It’s still not bad and as a trilogy I like them. This one isn’t as good as the other 2 but its better than a lot and better than most 3rd movies. It expands the mythology and the creeper looks awesome. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1139592 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeepers_Creepers_3 Get it…

Backrooms – Appetizer Review
Interesting. It was a bit of modern Alice in Wonderland meets Cabin in the Woods. The starkness was spooky. Need to see it again as I’m not sure I grasped all of it. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26657236 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backrooms_(film)

Ouija – Appetizer Review
Didn’t hold my interest. Seems to be trying to be hip, maybe like Final Destination. But the story just didn’t really hold together. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1204977 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ouija_(2014_film) https://amzn.to/4dW9M1g

Jeepers Creepers 2 – Appetizer Review
The 2nd movie takes place in the same 23 day period as the first movie, but at the end rather than beginning. Now its a group of teens on a bus. A sequel that is different while keeping the myth of the first – and its still pretty good. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0301470 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeepers_Creepers_2 Get it on Amazon…

Lady in White – Appetizer Review
Ghost story from the 70’s.Pretty well done and written, but, again it hasn’t aged well (figured it out well before the ending, too) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_in_White https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095484 Get it on Amazon – https://amzn.to/3PNB8i2

Suspiria – Appetizer Review
Witches in a ballet school. Really pretty poor (the blood was WAY too red). It might have been good when it came out, but it didn’t age well. One of Argento’s Mother Trilogy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspiria https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076786 Get it on Amazon – https://amzn.to/4fWNn6i

Jeepers Creepers – Appetizer Review
I’ve seen it before, but it’s been awhile. Definitely creepy. Straight up creature horror with a supernatural twist. There are more – so I’ll watch the series. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0263488 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeepers_Creepers_(2001_film) Get it on Amazon – https://amzn.to/49zA1Jw
