Just finished up Motel Hell Wasn't paying attention and the next free movie rolled over to 'Slaughterhouse' (1987) Sounds fun - 80s slasher based in a - well - slaughterhouse Free on Amazon, I see. Let me know how it goes. Made it halfway through and felt a little guilty that I wasn't watching the inauguration so turned it off.....
Will have to get back to it.....
I've seen worse.....

I’ve been watching “How I Met Your Mother”. When it premiered all those years ago I watched it for a while, exclusively for Alyson Hannigan. I didn’t enjoy it all that much, so I stopped – I don’t think I even finished the first season. Later I must have watched a few loose episodes here and there.
Fast-forward to 2021. After watching “Cobra Kai”, I became curious about what career Willam Zabka had before he reprised his role of Johnny Lawrence from Karate Kid. I looked up his filmography on that other site that shall remain nameless and saw that he was in a couple of episodes of “How I Met..” playing himself. I got curious about it and decided to watch those episodes, which are available on Netflix. The first episode where he appears is from the end of season 8. I watched that one, and then another one and another one, and then decided to watch the whole ninth (and final) season, to see how it ends. I now have two episodes left.
I’ve enjoyed these 20+ episodes I’ve watched and had quite a few laughs, but not nearly enough to make me want to go back and watch the first eight seasons.

It's not a particularly great show, and it is very sitcommy, but I did mostly enjoy and I have to tell you that you picked the worst season of the show to watch. |

And there's a restored version from recent years that put a lot of the gore back in that the MPAA hacked away in the 80s. And get this Frogs... the remake is actually pretty good! |

Yeah - I own the remake - buried somewhere in storage - never watched it
Maybe I'll dig it out this Valentines Day and give it a watch
This one isn't bad for an 80s slasher - I'm enjoying the atmosphere thus far - i.e. small knit town int he winter where everybody knows everybody
So far I'd put this behind Black Christmas (original) as far as the old slasher flicks I've been watching recently (not counting the Kings of F13th, Halloween, NOES, Hellraiser ((if you label Hellraiser slasher)) of course)

It may be the best of the masked slasher movies that never got a sequel. The Burning is another fun one. Young George Costanza appears. A lot of people like The Prowler, but other than the excellent Tom Savini effects I never really connected with it. But My Bloody Valentine has pretty solid production values and performances, a strong villain concept, and good cinematography and atmosphere for a movie made by a bunch of Canadian nobodies. |

Return to Horror High - 80s slasher On second thought - I feel I must watch the first movie first though - 'Horror High - 1974' I hate the 70s but feel I'm going to have to watch the original to gain a greater appreciation for 'Return to Horror High' which I'll watch next Here we go  |

I just get bad vibes
Just cringey acting, bad hair, bad clothes, horrible cheesey music - I think things started to get better for society in the 80s
Only movies I can think of that I enjoyed from the 70s -
JAWS The Exorcist Texas Chainsaw Massacre
The Shining in 1980 was a great way to say goodbye to a horrible decade

Again... what a weirdo. At least it's an original take, I guess. The idea that the 80s had cool hair, great clothes, superior acting, and better music is certainly a bizarre one, but I do have to give you credit for that. |

It's not even close
Die Hard Lethal Weapon National Lampoons Vacation The Breakfast Club Three Amigos Friday the 13th There's literally too many iconic movies to mention
I can't name 10 from the 70s

K... And just as I suspected -
Horror High (from the 70s) is horrible......
Can't wait to get past this and get to Return to Horror High (from the 80s) - I'm expecting a much better movie

George Clooney is in Return to Horror High. But that's pretty much all I know about it. I've never seen either of them. |

Basket Case
What an underrated underappreciated gem
Guy lives with his siamese conjoined twin that was severed off his body - his little bro lives in a basket that his brother carries around. Madcap zaniness and fun ensue

Somebody recently bought me the DVD box set of 'The Haunting of Hill House' telly series thing.
I thought it was very good, but a bit too heavy on the family drama at times, and light on the old supernatural shenanigans. Looking forward to the sequel 'The Haunting of Bly Manor' to come out on DVD.
Apart from that, been rewatching stuff pulled randomly out of my horror DVD pile, and watching various different telly iterations of the Moomins stories. (Moominvalley is great, Moomin is charming, and Das Moomins is still frightening.

The new Invisible Man is free right now Half hour in Has a great critic score Yawnfest so far - better pick up or off it goes
** Edit - I retract my yawnfest statement. That dinner scene with her sister was jaw dropping/brutal. Can't recall being shocked like that in a long time
