" Date: 10/1/2021 Viewed: Blu-Ray Re-watch Note: Today is the first day of October and I always like to kick off the first 31 Days of Horror with a silent film. I recently bought the Criterion Blu-ray of Haxan and I have looked forward to revisiting it. Haxan is nearly 100 years old, and it's still a masterpiece. Haxan is not my #1 favorite Silent Horror movie, but it is pretty high on my list. Haxan is unique in that it tells a story that is half documentary and half narrative. The film explo"
" Notes: Eventually, it is quite a weird flick, some very old documentary (almost 100 years old now) dealing with some even older superstitions mainly involving witchcraft in the Middle-Ages. It is rather funny that it is considered a horror flick when it is supposed to be a documentary. I mean, there were some rather eerie stuff, I’ll give you that but it doesn’t really qualify as ‘horror’, at least, that’s my opinion. Honestly, the whole thing feels pretty dated nowadays and you migh"

That mix puts it ahead of its time by far, and overall I liked it well enough. I did, however, take a short nap during the 5th chapter, but when I woke up I went back to ensure I caught up with it. I was hoping to keep my streak of staying awake, but ah well. Here are some thoughts I had while watchi"

" Inktober prompt: Enchanted Lots of funny and sometimes spooky imagery in this one! I was really impressed at their special effects, the details they put into every scene was fantastic. There is a point where a large-breasted demon is illustrated using some kind of stop-motion animation, and the breast physics are given such detail that it's right on the line of funny and impressive. Every part of this movie is made with care and sincerity and a sense of fun. I actually expected to turn"
