Okay, images this time, I'm at my desktop. This is one of the weirdest horror movies I've ever seen and that is saying something. The main guy is the voice of Frosty the Snowman from the 70's so I couldn't get the idea out of my mind that a snowman in a top hat was the murderer. Microwave Massacre (1983)

Howling V: The Rebirth (1989) re-watch Probably my favourite sequel of the series. I like the who-dunnit approach, and castle setting. Even though it looks low-rent and the werewolf is kept hidden for most part, be it in the shadows, catching minor glimpses or stalking in POV shots.

The Mimic (2017) When I first saw your post I thought that might have been part of the other 'Mimic' franchise that had three movies and there was a fourth movie that came out and I didn't know about it but it is clearly a different one. Have you seen the other 'Mimic' movies and what did you think of them? I liked the first two the most and I didn't hate two but it felt like a ripoff of 'Rear Window' (well, I think it might have been intended to be one) and I would have preferred something more like the first two. A very different mimic indeed. I’ve seen the first film, but not the sequels. It was a long time ago too. I remember thinking it was good up until it heads underground and some people find themselves trapped in an abandoned train carriage. The mimic was an unsettling creation, although for me the more it showed the less effective it got. But my memory is hazy, outside the opening sequence with the kid/s. For me it was lost in the shuffle of late 90s monster films ‘The Relic’, and ‘Deep Rising’. It was probably the better film, but I do remember those two films more... even own them.

Dead Ringer (1964). Pretty good, Bette Davis playing double?

Final Exam (1981) A psycho killer preys on stereotypical college students. Wow, what an amateurish crapfest this turned out to be! Poor on every level; better acting, writing, and direction can be found in any given porno flick. No style, no creativity, and a lack of gore. What it boils down to is a bunch of cardboard characters having mundane conversations. Excruciatingly dull! This could very well be the worst slasher movie I've ever seen. Final Exam definitely gets a failing grade!

Tarantula 1955, directed by Jack Arnold. Science-Fiction and Horror as the titled eight-legger wrecks havoc in and around a small town in Arizona. A spider escapes from an isolated Arizona desert laboratory experimenting in giantism and grows to a tremendous size. The experiments is to secure food as there might be a shortage of it in the future. So testing on rats, mice and guinea pigs would be natural, but why spiders? The Tarantula leaves traces of poison and sceletons behind it, but being so gigantic, it manages to leaves no footprints whatsoever. Questions one offcourse shouldn't ask, because this is made to entertain it's specific markets. Not in class with Them 1954 and it's gigantic ants, but enetertaining enough, with standard cardboard acting. To get the real Tarantula's to move in the right directions, they used hair dryers to blow air on them

King Kong 1933 Well, you know the story! "It was Beauty that killed the beast!", is actually not last word uttered, its a policeman who says "Beauty?" before fadeout. Next time you hear someone say that chrome-steel is safe, be worries! Not gonna joke this movie away, it is a product of it's time, with what was once state of the art special effects

Watched Scream again. Matthew Lillard is so into his role. I noticed it before but forgot about it, when Gale Weathers is in the van running the wipers, there is a sound effect from Scooby Doo, then about 2 minutes later Matthew LIllard is revealed to be one of the killers but it 6 years before he would play Shaggy. Totally coincidental.

Totally coincidental. He's an underrated actor. He was in the FX show "The Bridge" and was great as an Alcoholic character. I read an article that at first he was afraid he'd never live the role down in "Scooby Doo". He was ultimately grateful for it. He has directed films and teaches acting classes. He went through a long drought without a role before he was cast in "The Descendants". He thought he'd never get the role.

Attack of the Mushroom People (1963) - I remember loving this one during my childhood, so I'm glad to say that the film is still every bit as unique, weird and wonderful as it was when I first saw it on Creature Double Feature on Channel 56 in Boston way back when. Seven doomed passengers (a glamorous celebrity, a millionaire, a professor, etc.) on a boat tour end up shipwrecked on an abandoned island populated by strange oversized mushrooms that turn anyone who eats them into fungi-covered monstrosities. A classic Japanese horror film that's not to be missed. AKA Matango. My rating: 8.5/10

Halloween III.
I’ve seen this before, but not from the beginning.
This one’s better than Halloween II, which had a decent first half and an execrable second, but in a way that’s to its detriment: it’s good enough that you wish it were better. As is, it doesn’t hit the heights of the first one, but in a strange way it may be more interesting.
The elements are excellent: Celtic paganism, witchcraft, Samhain (something the series keeps pushing—it popped up in II as well, for equally no reason), sacrifice, those wonderfully creepy masks, murder by television. The direction (by Tommy Lee Wallace, a John Carpenter protégé) is better than Rick Rosenthal’s relentlessly mediocre direction in II. The James Mason-esque Dan O’Herlihy, who deserves much better material, makes for an excellent underplayed villain. I enjoyed the unnecessary but welcome references to Psycho.
But it’s so shoddily put together. Much of it is slow and kind of dull, and it doesn’t feel of one piece—as if someone were shoehorning things in without figuring out how they were supposed to play out. (Why, for example, the robots? For what storytelling reason do we need the Stonehenge stuff?) One twist was the epitome of pointless. The California setting, while probably necessitated by budget, gives us no autumnal or even spooky atmosphere; the lack of that is probably the kiss of death for a Halloween-set movie.
The ideas are all there…but, boy, do I wish it had been better executed.
On the other hand, the heroine’s cute.
