Cold Case: The Tylenol Murders

Watched this unsettling documentary tonight and it reminded me of this old blog post about the time I saw a guy, RIGHT after the murders occurred, dressed as a Tylenol pill on Halloween night, back in 1982.  After all these years, I still can't believe he did it.  

The documentary is pretty chilling.

Netflix: Unsolved Mysteries

We just started watching the latest season of Unsolved Mysteries on Netflix.  If you haven't caught them, I would highly recommend.  Every season has been terrific.  Amazing production value with the same old classic spookiness of the original series.

Trailer: Files Of The Unexplained

Watched a bunch of these and have been really enjoying them.

Trailer: The Sons Of Sam

This was an extremely intriguing docuseries.  Directed by Joshua Zeman who brought us the amazing Cropsey, the film explores the assertion that serial killer David Berkowitz did not act alone.  Pretty chilling stuff.

Trailer: The Devil On Trial

We started watching this one last night and it has a lot of creepy promise, so I'm really hoping it can stick the landing.  I surprisingly have never heard of this case and have no idea how it plays out.  Fans of the long-lost Paranormal Witness will be happy to know that this documentary feels like it was made by the people responsible for that wonderful series.

Trailer: We Have A Ghost

This feels like something that would have been made in the 80s.  Really hoping it delivers that kind of Spielbergian charm.

Trailer: GUILLERMO DEL TORO’S CABINET OF CURIOSITIES

New trailer for this Netflix series.  Looks wonderful.

Thanks, Mike!

Trailer: The Watcher

A while back I posted a story about a family moving into a new home in New Jersey and receiving some mega chilling letters in the mail.  Creepy stuff from someone called The Watcher.  Here's an excerpt from one of those letters:

Do you need to fill the house with the young blood I requested? Better for me. Was your old house too small for the growing family? Or was it greed to bring me your children? Once I know their names I will call to them and draw them to me.

No one was ever implicated, and the letters eventually stopped.  Naturally they made a movie out of it.  I would have preferred a tasteful documentary about the actual events, to see what has been distorted over the years as the internet embraced it.  Worried they sassed it up too much, as it appears to have about five modern horror movies crammed into it.  But I will definitely give it a watch.  And maybe this will lead to a Netflix documentary on the actual case.

Netflix's Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Anyone else watch this stinker?  What I thought would be fun and forgettable turned out to be horrid and plain old DUMB.  Like duuuuuuuuumb.  Like shockingly bad.  And not even remotely in a good way.  Like waking up and realizing you had a dream about Leatherface that made no sense at all.  Because you ate some greasy rich food the night before.

And worse:  you craved, and I mean CRAVED, the main stars dying horrible deaths.  And that doesn't mean I was rooting for Leatherface either.  Because I wasn't.  He was equally as annoying as the young actors were.  And then there was Sally Hardesty.  Who turned out to be just more to hate.

Everything was wrong.  Literally everything.  Well, maybe not the score (that was pretty cool).  

There was a part, and I'm not spoiling anything, where the aged Leatherface smashes his chainsaw out from behind a wall, where it was hidden for like fifty years, and it starts right up.  Now, as a man who owns a lawnmower and dreads that first pull of the cord every spring due to it choking and stalling out, I found this idea to be lunacy.  But that right there is nitpicking, and you don't need to nitpick this film to realize it was dreadful.

The kills and gore were just "odd" too.  The "mask" was bizarre and magically stayed on his face (if you watched it, you'll know what I mean).  

I've been reading reviews and comments and I'm not seeing the hate I was expecting.  Horror fans are cutting this thing some major slack.  I hate to bring it up again, but I'm thinking of my blog post about the recent, and wonderful, Candyman film, and all the seething toxic hatred that film garnered.  The notion that ANY horror fan is giving Netflix's Texas Chainsaw Massacre ANY kind of break but piled on Candyman is proof of SOMETHING.  I'm just trying to figure out what that something is.

Here's to the original!

  

Leatherface Dies Tonight

The "new" Texas Chainsaw Massacre is coming to Netflix this month.  Not even really sure what I just watched below.  I'll leave some comments as not to soil/sway your opinions prematurely (though I think I just let you know what I thought of it [but not totally]).
