Past Tense - Play With Dark Forces, Get A Dark B!tch Slap Part II


Too sexy!!! Wave I of attention getting Halloween costumes.



Hey, she's gonna get some Woody!

That costume totally works. There does exist a sexy Potato Head and Buzz Lightyear outfits. Even a sexy Jessie too. A group of hot girls could rock it with a "Toy Story" theme party rodeo. The name is "New Sheriff Costume".

Now the other - sexy mime bothers me. It's going for a seductive psycho market, feels like she belongs in a "Saw" knock off feature. Guess what she's trying to emote OR get a limb chopped off - and the first part will be his peen, 'cause that's how off her rocker she is - "Silent Mime Honey".

The most intense game of Pictionary, EVER. Do not want in my bedroom.

Recommendations.

History repeats once more. I'm showcasing five Halloween suggestions for four weeks; last post (week five) hits three days before Halloween. So I'll give three on week five. You should already know what to watch.

As expected most can be found in your local video rental shops. Few can be found in stores. Best bet is to find them online, cheaply, through Ebay or Amazon's resellers marketplace, purchase used/new DVDs or BDs. Or even pawn shops.

Some are on Netflix and such streaming services. And YouTube too. *wink*

"Crawl" (2019)
University student and competitive swimmer, Haley Keller receives a call from her sister Beth - concerned over their estranged father, Dave. He lives in Pasco County, Florida on the imminent path of a category five hurricane. No contact, can't be reached. Haley is much nearer to Dave than Beth. Reluctantly she agrees to check on him, if there - get him evacuated. Not happy about the trek and gets more than she could possibly imagine. It has reached landfall, the streets are flooded and rising fast. Haley finds her dad, injured and is horrified - the home is surrounded by ravenous, displaced alligators. Left with far too little resources, it's up to her creativity and swimming skills to survive the night, trapped in a flooding basement. This is available on both DVD and BD. A great double feature with "Bait" (2012).

"Miracle Mile" (1988)
The end is coming in less than seventy minutes. Harry Washello was to have gone on his first date with Julie Peters in L.A., but he misses the rendezvous because of a power failure - alarm didn't go off. Harry goes to her work, a 24 hour diner, (Johnie's Coffee Shop Restaurant, a real place - no longer in business), hoping that she might still be there. She's long gone, it's a bit past 4 AM. He's screwed; even failed to reach her by the pay phone. But that's when his life changes badly. The phone booth is ringing. Harry picks up the line - an unidentified man wants to speak to his father; crying, frantic. He dialed the right number - wrong area code. Claims to be a soldier at a nuclear missile silo; he is shot dead on the phone by his superior, not before saying WWIII has just started; seventy minutes to armageddon. Stunned, he tells the patrons of the diner who discard his story as a prank. Trying to calm him, a businesswoman calls some of her political friends... they're not available - heading for South America. The panic. Love is all that matters; Harry spends his remaining time to find Julie to save if possible. Palpable dread and chaos as this information goes viral; Los Angeles descends into pandemonium. Go with the Kino Lorber Corp. release; remastered with extras on DVD and BD. Outstanding score by "Tangerine Dream". An excellent companion with "These Final Hours" (2013).

"Overlord" (2018)
June 6th, 1944 - hours away from Normady; 555th Paratrooper Unit is among others sent to take out a German communications hub - prevent the Nazis from warning the Axis to send countermeasures. The location is a remote French village - radio tower in an old church. The soldiers' plane is shot down, most of the men are killed. It gets worse - none of the other planes made it, just them; five survived - five become four before they even reach the village. A near impossible task, the area is heavily fortified. Hours shrink, it has to be accomplished - over 156 thousands troops depend on them. But this soon takes second place to something far worse... deep below the church is a hidden research facility, human experimentations. The Third Reich's thousand year empire, requires thousand year soldiers. The stuff of nightmares, undead super-soldiers; their serum is in the beta stage. Four becomes five once more - when a French teen girl joins their cause. Time is running out to take out the tower and destroy the monstrous labs. Not that many WWII horror movies and this is unflinching.

"The Unseen" (2016)
Bob Langmore is afflicted with a degenerative condition so terrible he left his wife and child. Years later, he's facing evanesce. Before this happens, he wants to reconnect with his estranged teenage daughter, Eva. But his effort is short lived - she has gone missing. Her absence is out of character; she's been kidnapped. The police tells the parents they will search, but in twenty-four hours. His ex, Darlene implores him to find her. Time is running out; Bob spends his remaining moments seeking Eva... before he fades - unseen. A very different take on the Invisible Man story. Langmore is no superhero, a flawed man trying to do the right thing. His invisibility is grotesque - in a car wreck kind of way.

"We Summon The Darkness" (2019)
July 1988, the place - Indiana. Friends Alexis, Val and Beverly are heavy metal junkies on their way to a rock concert, "Soldiers Of Satan". There they meet a trio of metalheads who agree to accompany the girls after the show to Alexis' secluded home in the woods, parents are away. Drinks, fun and laughs die rather quick once it becomes apparent this isn't about a night of partying. It's about satanic ritual murders, homicides which are known - national news, eighteen other slayings. The home becomes a siege as things get quite bloody. But motivations get turned on their heads with twists; these butcheries are not what they seem, hypocrisy runs wild for profit. Things escalate as uninvited guests drop in, a bigger body count. A horror comedy.

I'm glad I bought this - "Panic" (smiles), a blind buy - no buyer's remorse. Sway. An interesting way to do non-nudity, nudity. And this ends week one. Was it spooky for you? More trepidations come next Thursday with a franchise that won't stay down, head shots only. See you then... if you dare!
