Later today/tonight, I'll be preparing for my trip to the Appalachians with a marathon of WRONG TURN(s)!!!

So brace yourself for (up to) seven terrifying WRONG TURN films, where innocent hikers find themselves stalked by psychopathic mutant cannibals!!!

From college students celebrating Halloween to snowmobilers trapped by a storm, no one can survive the blood-soaked onslaught brought on by Three Finger and his clan of murderous mountain men!

In ~30 minutes, 6:00 PM US CST, I'll be kicking off the first in my WRONG TURN Discord marathon with, ofc, WRONG TURN (2003) dir. Rob Schmidt.

1. Do we have an established name for the “killer hillbilly” trope?
2. If so, is it called “Killbillies?”
3. If not, why not?

Next up (~20 minutes, 8:00 PM US CST) on this WRONG TURN marathon: WRONG TURN 2: DEAD END (2007) dir. Joe Lynch.

Along with the first installment, (and the re-make, depending on how you feel about such things) this is certainly the best in the series

I feel like a big opportunity was missed to title this one, WRONG TURN 2: WRONGER TURN.

Starting now! WRONG TURN 2: DEAD END (2007)

This is the "unrated" cut... Hopefully this means at least 10% more Henry Rollins!

Man, I forgot how gross and skeevy WRONG TURN 2 is. Maybe it's just due to the difference of the "unrated cut."

Joe Lynch is a sick man. And that is why I love him very much.

I'll end on WRONG TURN 3: LEFT FOR DEAD (2009) dir. Declan O' Brien in ~10 minutes (10:30 PM US CST).

***I admit that 3 films isn't much of a marathon, but I think I'll tap out after this one... I have about 12 hours of driving to do tomorrow and should probably get at least 2-3 of hours sleep, if possible...***

Pressing play on WRONG TURN 3: LEFT FOR DEAD (2009).

On the balance, I'd say aughts horror flicks do not spare the corn syrup.

That’s a wrap on this WRONG TURN marathon!

As always, thank you to any and all who tuned into the stream. I always love to hear comments about the films and/or feedback on the experience you had with the stream. Also open as ever to suggestions for future streams.

Maybe when I get back from the mountains we’ll do a PSYCHO series marathon. 💀💚

@Apocryphiliac "And now it's time to say goodbye to Jed and all his kin, after we discovered that they voted left again"

@Silea LOL

If they were going to start going with things like "DEAD END" I wish they'd stuck with that theme...

WRONG TURN 3: CUL-DE-SAC
WRONG TURN 4: RUMBLE STRIPS
WRONG TURN 5: STUCK IN A ROUNDABOUT

@Apocryphiliac wrong turn 6: a really deep pothole

Wrong turn 7: a really high speed bump that scrapes across your oil pan

@Silea WRONG TURN 8: MY MOM PRINTED MAPQUEST DIRECTIONS FOR US AND THIS THROUGHWAY DOESN'T EVEN EXIST ANYMORE

@Apocryphiliac that’s when the series starts getting really good again. The shift from physical horror to complete existential terror.

@rokkinbobokkin on Dischord. Is there a way to stream here other than CoSoCalls (which is not practical for my setup)? I know there is Realms, but it’ll be a good while before I can even begin to work that whole thing out, plus I don’t think it will be as practical for me (as I’m often walking around the house and watching on my phone).

@Apocryphiliac I got my discord back. I'll have to jump on at some point soon and catch it.

@Apocryphiliac

Be safe in your travels and have lots of fun!

May the mountains restore and soothe <3

@Minholkin Thanks so much, Min! I will take lots of pictures for you all. 😉👍

@Apocryphiliac

Please do!! It's wonderful to see the world through the lenses we share here!
