It’s October, that means it’s time for another 31 Days of Spooky Movies for Chewie, watching & quick-reviewing a movie a day. I’m gonna try to only do ones I haven’t seen, but if life gets in the way (and it do) I will absolutely watch Trick ‘r Treat again, don’t think I won’t #31DaysofSpooky

Chewie of The Mana Pool

@themanapool.bsky.social

2. Lake Placid (1999)
A classic creature feature from the 90s! The characters really carry this one, with Oliver Platt & Brendan Gleeson doing most of the entertaining. Bridget Fonda is there as a city girl who risks life & limb to…stay away from her ex? Weird choice, but sure

1. Presence (2024)
A Soderbergh joint I’ve never heard of? What?

The concept is cool: the camera POV is always of a ghost in a house. A family moves in, it watches as drama unfolds and sometimes disrupts. It’s occasionally eerie but not scary or even all that spooky #31DaysofSpooky

Director James Whale had the idea for the iconic hairdo, make-up artist Jack Pearce executed it using a wire cone and gray hair pieces. Elsa Lanchester plays both the bride and Mary Shelley in the film.
