New Horror 2023 – Day 5

“I never believed white folks until I saw evidence for myself.”

“CUE: Change” by Chesya Burke (2011)

A different kind of zombie tale. It’ll come for you, too.

“… w… worms… worms… itch…”

“For Better or Worse?” by Richard Corben (2016)

A gnarly progression, I like it. I’m glad all these Shadows on the Grave stories have delivered, short as they are.

“Fucking butterflies.”

Organ dir. Kei Fujiwara (1996)

Editing makes it a bit tough to follow, but it feels intentional to get the viewer into a frenetic and overwhelmed state. And this movie sure does overwhelm. 🫀

New Horror 2022 – Day 8

“Beelzebub” by Robert Bloch (1963)
“A fly can’t do seventy, can it?”

I haven’t read “The Metamorphosis” but I think this is sorta that. Metamorphosisesque, if you will.

“Roots in Hell” by Richard Corben (2016)
“Have some of this mango. It’s delicious!”

Kind of an abrupt ending but I dig the conceit.

Jeepers Creepers: Reborn dir. Timo Vuorensola (2022)
“I wonder if I can be buried here.”

Egh, this kind of bad schlocky horror doesn’t work me, and I have no interest in checking out the others in the series after someone informed me about the baggage this series carries from its pedophilic creator.
