8. Tales From The Crypt: Demon Knight (1995)
Holy hell, why haven't I watched this sooner? It was a blast. A man is on the run from "The Collector" and takes refuge in a mission/brothel/restaurant/motel(?) and makes a stand with the residents to protect a mysterious key. The cast was great, the practical effects were very impressive and Billy Zane obviously had a blast with his role. Also, this month is quickly becoming the "Tom Atkins & Dick Miller Show" for me, as one of the two of them is in nearly everything I've watched.

And a via con diablos to you, too, sir.

9. Belladonna of Sadness (1973)
Gorgeous animation and interesting visuals and :psypop: Go in blind.

(insert orgy here)
:psypop:/5

Thanks for reminding me to rewatch Demon Knight. Totally hilarious and fun.

Is Belladonna of Sadness horror/thriller/spook-em-ups? I'd heard it was like fantasy or something.

My biggest favs this month were Bone Tomahawk, Dont Breathe, Rosemary's Baby, He Never Died, and Audition. The champ? Bone Tomahawk by a hair. Brutal, intense, intriguing, and thoughtful. Highly recommend.

My biggest SURPRISE this month was Child's Play. I thought it really held up as a fun spooky slasher. It wasn't good-bad, it was genuine fun. The Friday the 13th 2009 remake was also a big surprise. I thought it was actually a really worthy reboot and a genuine pleasure. My biggest disappointment was Candyman. I loved it as a kid but as an adult it didn't hold up for me.
