#VundaHalloweenAthon Day 1: "Fear the Unknown"

Image
Welcome to Day 1 of our #VundaHalloweenAthon  The 1st theme of the month is "Fear the Unknown." The rules are simple: watch a film you have never seen before.  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 (well, maybe not exactly recommendations since we've never actually seen them) from the team, taken from our own watchlists for today... Group Pick: Malignant (directed by James Wan) is available on HBO Max for Halloween 2021 and it is a must-watch! The film has deeply polarized audiences for the past few weeks since its release, so if you haven't seen it yet, now's the perfect time!

D-Rock's Spooktober Film Festival GRAND FINALE!

Image
Well, the day has finally arrived! And to celebrate, I'm going to go through every scary movie I've watched this month. You see, two years ago, I decided I wanted to watch as many scary movies as possible in the month of October. It was--I can't stress this enough--awesome. And ever since then I've made this quest a yearly tradition. This year, I decided to make it a little more fun by live-tweeting a few of these--at least when I had the energy for it. However, there are a whole bunch of movies (and some TV shows!) I never got to talk about for my adoring public here at Vundablog. So I decided I would make a list of every movie I watched this month and say a little something about each one. Because I know how important it is to you all to know what I think about all the movies I watch. So let's do this...

Filmmaker Fandom Friday: Re-Imagining Halloween with Rob Zombie

I respect Rob Zombie as a filmmaker and I love the explanations he gives in this video about the visual style of the film, which I feel the remake succeeds at.

Filmmaker Fandom Friday: An Interview with John Carpenter (8/2/11)

Image
This is a new segment at the Vundablog. It's a chance to share some great clips and interviews with some of my favorite filmmakers. So let us bask in the wisdom of the man whose film bears the name of the Holiday we celebrate this month,  Halloween. I love John Carpenter he's directed Kurt Russell (my favorite actor) in some of his most memorable and iconic films. He has a filmography that rivals anyone in the business Prince of Darkness, They Live, The Thing, Halloween, Escape from New York and LA, Vampires, the Ward, and The Fog to name a few of his best. He's also the director behind one of my all time favorite films Big Trouble in Little China. We will be thinking about him and the other horror masters all month long on Filmmaker Fandom Friday.
