[31 DAYS OF HORROR] DAY 29 - BONES AND ALL. The horror genre is a versatile one and this film from Luca Guadagnino flexes the genres’ dramatic chops, telling a mesmerizing tale about growing up and self-discovery through the lens of cannibals. It’s very well acted, with Taylor Russell being the standout performance here, and features a score from Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross. BONES AND ALL can be found on Blu-ray and streaming on Amazon Prime!

[31 DAYS OF HORROR] DAY 26 - MY BEST FRIEND IS A VAMPIRE. Today I’m letting my main squeeze Mandy do a guest pick today and she chose this ‘80s vampire comedy. She describes it a John Hughes movie for the horror crowd. Quirky friends experience the outrageous situation of a friend becoming immortal and it’s bloodsuckingly fun! Find it on Vestron Video Blu-ray and for rent on VOD.

[31 DAYS OF HORROR] DAY 25 - THE MIST. This is easily one of my favorite adaptations of a Stephen King story put to film. It’s a perfect microcosm, examining how fear can break down our society and is eerily representative of today’s culture. I watched the director’s cut (aka the black & white version) as it helps lend a lot more atmosphere and gravitas to the tale, which ends in one of the darkest tragic endings in a movie. It’s a super interesting watch. THE MIST is available on 4K/ Blu-ray, on Peacock, and for rent on VOD.

[31 DAYS OF HORROR] DAY 20 - THE BEING! From BLOOD DINER director Jackie Kong, this creature feature plays it fairly straight in regards to its B-grade monster movie roots. It has its charms, even if it ultimately is hesitant to show the creature for most of its runtime. I had a fun time watching it but set your expectations below the zaniness of BLOOD DINER. THE BEING is available on Blu-ray and streaming on Amazon Prime.
