Haha, love "the way the gods intended"... I've seen Candyman (classic!) but haven't yet seen the second Hellraiser... that's definitely going on the list! I have seen the first Hellraiser (love it), plus I just recently watched the new one and it's one of my favorite newer scary movies (it's available on Hulu btw!). Hellraiser is so twisted and kinda has a dark humor to it too.

I was not impressed with the new Candyman. They threw away the lore established in the first movie.

Ah yes, Girlraiser, watched that as well. It wasn't as bad as I assumed - loved that they went more in depth on the Lament Configuration.

I watch more horror movies than I care to admit 🤣🤣🤣

Haha, maybe I'll skip the new Candyman... haven't gone there yet!

And agreed. I do think they did a job of expanding on the Lament Configuration lore in that latest Hellraiser. Plus, the visual effects were very trippy and bad ass!

And I very much feel ya on watching lots of horror flicks. I'll have to take a pic of my list from this October... I've definitely had my fair share this month. 😅 Truth be told, I watch'em year-round, but once October rolls around it provides me with a good excuse for me to overindulge and retread ground.

Horror all day, every day! 😱🍿

Yeah, it's not worth your time. I only watched it cause they said Tony Todd would reprise his role - what a lie that was.

Oo, oo, oo.... Shameless plug. I do a series on my other blog where I share 30 picks that I think people should watch. Started it in 2019....

Here's this year's primer:
