Looking forwards to this one.

Interesting that Willem Dafoe is in this: in Shadow of the Vampire he plays Max Schreck the actor from the original Nosferatu. Shadow of the Vampire is worth checking out. A great film that doesn’t get talked about enough.

Freaky Friday: The Remake 2: The Sequel

When I first heard of The Exorcism starting Russell Crowe, my first thought was “oh, is the sequel to The Pope’s Exorcist out already?”, which I assume is what the marketing team for The Exorcism were banking on.

On the subject of Pope’s Exorcist sequels - they do need to get a move on given that they apparently need to make 199 of them…

Sean Astin on the map from Goonies:

“It’s an item that would probably be worth like $100,000 now,” he said. “And I think my mom threw it out.”

Made me laugh.

The Thing On The Doorstep

There was a (very) loose adaptation of The Thing on The Doorstep in 2023 - Suitable Flesh.

However it felt less like an adaptation of Lovecraft and more like an adaptation of Brian Yuzna/Stuart Gordon doing Lovecraft. Which isn’t a bad thing - love Reanimator.

Few movies reach the heights of Malignant!

Yeah, I enjoyed it. It was good campy fun and the girl playing M3GAN was appropriately creepy.

How about the one that launched a dialog box: “Do you have a small penis? Yes/No”, and if you moved your mouse near the “No” button, the button would run away around the screen?

Man, good times.
