It’s October again, friends. You know what that means?
Movies!
See what Amy & I have been watching and have a gander at our impressions below.
The Mutilator a.k.a. Fall Break (1984)
A group of college kids vacation in a beach house owned by the lead actor’s killer father. You can guess where it goes from there. The acting is unbelievably awful. The opening theme music scene is worth watching all by itself, though. For a few minutes, I thought I was watching an 80s sitcom. I had to watch it twice, just to make sure I wasn’t dreaming.
Chris: Watch once
Amy: Watching Bates Motel in the other room
Mutant (1984)
The (in my mind) spiritual prequel to Nightmare at Noon, starring Wings Hauser and Mumblin’ Bo Hopkins. Wings and his brother get stranded in a small Georgia town being overrun by toxic zombies. Enter Hopkins, the American treasure. It’s up to Wings, Bo, and the bartender/school teacher Holly (Jody Medford) to survive the night.
Chris: Watch now
Amy: Watch
Tucker and Dale VS Evil (2010)
Good and campy, with very good performances by Tudyk and Labine. I was expecting a more supernatural presence, but enjoyed it just the same.
Chris: Watch

DeepStar Six (1989)
Scientists inhabiting an underwater nuclear missile site unearth an ancient monster (whom you don’t see until over an hour into the 90ish minute movie)…
Chris: Skip

Motel Hell (1980)
Goofy movie about a motel ran by a “farmers”…people farmers! Ha! Watch out for Cliff from Cheers. The soundtrack is…killing me…I’m so sorry…
Chris: Watch
Amy: “Everybody should try to watch it once.”
Slumber Party Massacre (1982)
Pretty straight forward slasher fun. Decent atmosphere, shameless nudity, and an escaped maniac with a cordless drill amounts to some pretty good kills.
Chris: Watch
Amy: Undecided
Sleepaway Camp 2: Unhappy Campers (1988)
The second hatch’ted installment in the Sleepaway Camp series, and starring two sisters of famous people! Yep, you guessed it: Bruce Springsteen’s sister Pamela, and Renée Estevez (sister to Charlie Sheen and Emillio Estevez)…wait, you didn’t guess that?

Sleepaway Camp 3: Teenage Wasteland (1989)
Springsteen amped up the kookiness and creativity in this sequel.

Halloween (2018)
Nailed it. It had the atmosphere, suspense, nods to the OGs, and great kills. Also, let’s not forget Jamie Lee Curtis.

The Nun (2018)
Creepy as shit. A good installment to the Conjuring franchise.

976-EVIL 2 (1991)
Amy hadn’t seen it. Had to be done. She wasn’t amused.

The Dead Pit (1989)

Pumpkinhead (1988)
Still a classic. LH is a little over the top though.

Winchester (2018)
Not bad, but very slow in parts. The house was very cool, though. Patience required.
Chris: Skip
Amy: Skip
Scarecrows (1988)
No clue. I fell asleep 10 minutes in. Amy was in the other room watching The 100. I think I saw a scarecrow before I fell out…
Stay tuned for more flicks, Corner Folk. We’re always watching something.
