Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension (2015)
I can’t really call it a “milestone,” but Paranormal Octoberty has reached the point where this is the last movie in either franchise–Paranormal Activity and The Exorcist–that I have seen. And I basically remembered nothing about Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension, so it’s kind of like watching it again for the first time? And now that I’m blogging about it, I’m sure that it’ll stick in my brain. Yup, I definitely remember watching every movie I’ve talked about on here! Like that Jensen Ackles movie, Devour, where he… uh… was in a dysfunctional relationship with Jared Padalecki from Gilmore Girls?…

Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones (2014)
People who have been following Paranormal Octoberty may have seen me mention the idea of time traveling witches while talking about the Paranormal Activity franchise. What a weird thing to bring up in a series about demons attacking families and possessing people, right? Well, as it turns out, there are time traveling witches in Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones, which is either the fifth main film or the first spin-off, depending on how you keep track of it. Maybe both? Let’s go with both. Both is good. This movie, however, is not as good.

X-Men ’97 – Season 1, Episode 10
Previously, on X-Men! How have I seriously done the entirety of X-Men ’97’s first season and never once made that joke? I’m slipping, y’all… Anyway, Magneto has doomed the Earth in retaliation for Genosha! An attempt to force him to undo his damage led to Wolverine having the adamantium ripped out of his body! Meanwhile, Bastion and Mister Sinister are a deadly duo the X-Men can’t seem to beat! Is this the end of the X-Men? No. What? Of course not. Why would you…? Anyway, let’s wrap up “Tolerance is Extinction” and the show’s first season. It’s a doozy.

X-Men ’97 – Season 1, Episode 8
We’re in the final stretch now. Episodes 8 through 10 of X-Men ’97 are called “Tolerance is Extinction” parts one through three, a big and elaborate season finale. Will the X-Men triumph against Bastion and Mister Sinister? Possibly! Are there more surprises waiting for viewers? Yes. Oh my yes. And hey! Professor X is back in the opening credits! I bet he’ll show up at some point!

X-Men ’97 – Season 1, Episode 7
Episode 6–AKA “Lifedeath – Part 2”–was really wrapping up storylines set before episode 5 instead of being a direct follow-up. Well with that out of the way, it’s time to see how the X-Men respond to a genocide. Spoilers, but the answer is not well!

X-Men ’97 – Season 1, Episode 3
Clones certainly have their uses, don’t they? I for one had my clone write the first draft of this post for me, but had to scrap it all when I realized it was just “why was I made” and “end my suffering” written over and over like this was The Shining or something. But not all clones are complete failures! Take Jean’s clone in “Fire Made Flesh,” the third episode of X-Men ’97. Although it is a bit of a mystery as to which Jean is the real one… I mean, unless you’ve read the comics. They also tipped their…

Time Bandits (1981)
You know it’s been a hell of a week when Movie Night is just dedicated to actors who have recently died. Case in point, Mr. David Warner passed away at the age of 80, just shy of his 81st birthday (which is today, by the way). There were so many things we could’ve watched to remember him–one friend suggested Tron, I had In the Mouth of Madness queued up, and there was the possibility of just watching several episodes of Batman: The Animated Series that featured Ra’s al Ghul. But in the end it turned out that most of us…

Under ConTroll (2019)
There are two types of bad movies–okay, there are way more than that, but just go with me on this. The two types are movies made sincerely, and those that are not. The Room is a masterpiece of bad cinema because Mr. Tommy Wiseau really, truly thought he was making art. But all the Scary Movie films and their spin-offs were made to be intentionally bad, and they end up being bad in a different, less enjoyable way. So which is Under ConTroll, the German sequel to Troll 2? Well there’s nothing sincere about this movie, so that’s telling.

Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
I just can’t talk about this movie without going full spoilers. There’s a lot to cover, so this will be on the longer side.

When They Cry: Kai – Season 2, Episodes 10-13
Normally when covering Higurashi no Naku Koro ni: Kai, AKA When They Cry: Kai, I talk about an entire arc in one post. Well, Mass Slaughter is eight episodes long, so welcome to part two! Let’s start with a brief recap of what happened in the first four episodes: Rika is aware she’s stuck in a neverending time loop of the same days over and over until her eventual murder. After around a hundred years of this, morale is in the dumps. Doesn’t help that her invisible friend, the horned Hanyu, is a pretty big fatalist as well. Moping about…
