I had a birthday last week (same time last year, oddly enough) so it seemed like a good time to revisit Bloody Birthday (1981) and Happy Birthday To Me (1981), and watch Happy Death Day 2U (2019) for the first time. And I made sure not to have any shish-kabobs!

So sorry I didn't check before but very glad you mentioned it here - Happy Belated Birthday to You ❄Lebowskidoo❄ !!
I'm not a big fan of my own B-Day here but like you
I tend to make a " horror or comedy themed movie marathon " out of it myself .
Those are definitely awesome movie themed choices here ( the only one I'm not familiar with is - " Happy Death Day 2U " )
just to remind myself that I'm not the only one ing about that particular day also .
Of course movie marathons are all in good fun no matter what " event day " we are reminded of .
Thanks so much ❄Lebowskidoo❄ for these excellent poster pic selections
and for your awesome movie choices here too .

You're most welcome ❄Lebowskidoo❄ and I totally agree with you here it's so wonderful mini movie marathons are such a real treat indeed
especially when we get to choose
our very own movie themes on certain event days to enjoy
It definitely makes the day so worth celebrating
in a self made traditional yet fun " Me Party " way also . I'm so glad you enjoyed your B-Day Marathon event too !!

An italian movie I watched last week called La dama rossa uccide sette volte aka The Red Witch Kills Seven Times 1972, not sure how to label it, was it a Giallo? I'm too unfamliar with that part of horror movies. Is it a curse? or someone using the curse?. The title comes from a painting explaining a famly curse that only appears ever 100 years The movie has an answer, not totally satisfactory, a few loose ends that is never explained, and enourmously enervating elevator music composed by Bruno Nicolai, whoever that was. Barbara Bouchet was the only name I recognized in the cast.

Barbara Bouchet was the only name I recognized in the cast. Haven't seen this one yet, but it looks interesting. Definitely sounds like a giallo for sure. I notice a couple of more names in the cast listing on IMDb; Sybil Danning and Rudolf Schündler (he was Karl the butler in The Exorcist, and he was in Suspiria).

THE HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL 1999 As someone here mentioned it and I did not remember this (or had it confused with the other haunted house remake of the year). Well, first of all, Geoffrey Rush is amusing as "Mr. Price" and he does have at times an uncanny resemblance to Vincent Price. They also borrow some ideas from his Corman films like a dream sequence with his severed head thrown around like in Tales of Terror. They even have a Barbara Steele lookalike in one fleeting shot. The story is ok-although the "ghost saves the day" at the end doesn't make sense to me.
This film suffers from the same problem as GHOST SHIP made by Zemeckis and co. a few years later--it looks so digital. Too many camera tricks and edits. The house is also so brightly lit there's no sense of mood--it feels like a big budget movie set. I liked the black ghost cloud at the end-the concept is pretty damn creepy, BUT once again, it is marred by the CGI approach. They could have done it like the cloud demon in THE KEEP and it would date much better. The movie is only 20 years old and the CGI feels so dated. On the other hand, so many other things with it feel like it could have been shot yesterday. There's a laptop, cell phones, the Sharp video camera is the most dated device.

Pontypool (2008)
Low budget Canadian-made horror movie that has an interesting idea. A radio announcer and his producer discover that, during the radio show, a sort of zombie apocalypse is breaking out in their small town of Pontypool, Ontario. Apparently the virus is triggered by certain words uttered in the English language. Much of the apolcalypic action occuring in the outside world is described by phone-in callers over the air, although we do get to see some cool gore scenes in the radio station.
A kind of hybrid of Talk Radio and Dawn Of The Dead, Pontypool starts off well and does deliver some good shock scenes, but then starts to get a little over-dramatic and runs out of steam. Still not bad for what it is, and worth a look.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2
Second watch since about a decade ago. Fucking balls to the wall entertainment with awesome work by Tom Savini! Without a doubt my favorite entry in the franchise behind the original. I don’t think I fully appreciated this my first watch but man I’m glad I decided to revisit. Amazing set pieces, great gore and unforgettable characters sprinkled with genuinely funny moments.
Rating 4/5

I remember renting this from the local video store back in the day, watched it that night, came home for lunch and watched it again the next day( took some long lunches in those days), and watched it again after work before returning it. I own it now.

The Eyes of My Mother (2016) A low budget B&W about a young girl who grows up keeping a killer as her prisoner/pet and becomes quite insane. It's a bit choppy at times and since it takes place over a number of years, and you have to sometimes assume what happens between scenes, but overall it's engrossing and quite creepy, with a good performance from the adult lead Kika Magalhães.

The Carrier (1988) Low budget 80's virus outbreak movie, dumb, but coasts by on its timely subject matter. I've seen far worse, just don't expect too much.

Into the Forest (2015).
This is definitely one serious and heavy storyline flick here .
It seems actress Ellen Page is really sticking to the tough yet brave survivor roles indeed .
Thanks so much Chalice_Of_Evil for these intense yet really cool pic & GIF Pic and for this movie recommendation here too .
