#VundaHalloweenAthon Day 21: "Fear the Floof"

By

Welcome to Day 21 of our #VundaHalloweenAthon  The 21st theme of the month is  "Fear the Floof."  Today is a day for all manner of creepy crawlies and terrifying animals and creatures--especially those of the mammalian persuasion. Werewolves are definitely a go-to but by all means be creative!  It might be an oldie you just never got around to seeing or something from a fresh young filmmaker who you haven't given a chance yet. The sky is the limit and bonus Pumpkin Points if you watch more than one movie a day on theme! Here are a few recommendations from the team, taken from our own watchlists for today... Group Pick: Critters  (1986) directed by Stephen Herek is available on HBO Max. It may have started as a Gremlins rip off but it has actually spawned more sequels than Gremlins, so that must mean quality right??? D-Rock: - Curse of the Queerwolf (1988) directed by Mark Pirro - 1h 30m - Tubi - Birdemic: Shock and Terror (2010) directed by James Nguyen - 1h 30m - Tubi
