Campy 80s goodness

I love movies like this in my basement alone the Saturday night before Halloween!

When a bunch of teenagers start coming up missing, the authorities are baffled. Who could be responsible? It couldn't be the mysterious Virginia could it?

The death scenes are kind of what an 80s version of a Final Destination film would look like I think. The main star is Melissa Sue Anderson who must have wanted to break stereotype while filing Little House on the Prairie s she played the bad girl this time.

Thoroughly enjoyable film.

Taika Waititi, also brilliant as always

Very Funny

Decided to watch this classic again as part of my Halloween movie session. A very funny mockumentary following a bunch of vampires who all share a house and bicker over things like not doing the dishes or not cleaning up the mess after one of them has feasted on some virgins. Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi are both brilliant in this. Rhys Darby also makes a very funny appearance as leader of a bunch of local werewolves and those are some of my favourite moments ("We're werewolves, not swearwolves").

Cheese Factor

Fun

Escapism

Dark Shadows is a glorious tribute to the gothic soap opera of the same name. It is deliciously camp, cheesy and extravagant - in short it is the perfect movie to watch from under the duvet whilst steadfastly avoiding the January chill outside.
Johnny Depp (disclaimer I’m biased I think the man is a marvel) is everything you need in this role, fun Fact - did you know that as a child he used to dress up as this character for Halloween.
It is the most technically superb film of all times but it’s fun and sassy.
