Also, I did a #horror #movie meme on another site, and I should definitely have done it here as well. I'm using a longer form of my name because I want more movies - but I think you'll agree that these pair nicely.

Plan a horror fest using only your first name:
Mandy (2018)
Altered States (1980)
Green Room (2015)
Get Out (2017)
In the Mouth of Madness (1994)
Eyes without a Face (1960)
Who's coming over? 👀
Hey now! 😂 And just where exactly is the "A" for "Andromeda Strain" in your name?
@MLClark There isn't one, hence I have to donate it.
Unless you want to use "T" since the movie technically is "The Andromeda Strain."
The "T" counts. It's a great film. One of a very few with attention to the actual painstaking work of good science. :)
Absentia (2011)
Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979)
Night of the Living Dead (1968)
A lovely line-up! Evocative, and easy to pull off in one night.
I did movie fests, but not horror.
Option 1: Political Thriller/Drama
Three Days of the Condor
Year of Living Dangerously
Gorky Park
Hotel Rwanda
Europe Europa
.
Option 2: Quirky fun
Time Bandits
Yellow Submarine
Godzilla
Harold and Maude
Earth Girls are Easy
So... horror:
Thirst
You're Next
Ginger Snaps
Hellraiser
The Endless
Yay for multiple movie fests!
1) You're Next is SUCH a smart film. I went in thinking it would be a goofy ride, but it packs a lot into its concept.
2) I just rewatched Yellow Submarine a few months ago, and I've been thinking of doing a Harold and Maude rewatch lately, too. I love your approach to "quirky fun". :)
3) That political thriller list has some horror in it, too!! 😬 But great list. What a range!
I'll bring a full bin of cookies for the whole weekend this'll take! 😅
I love the cosmic/existential theme of yours.
@MLClark Oooh, this is creative, I'll be right over. And since I'm related to Jamie Lee Curtis (albeit it distantly), can I bring her over to babysit and carve pumpkins? 🎃
B - Bride of Frankenstein
I - It
L - Let The Right One In
L - Last House On The Left
Y - You Should Have Left (pretty slim pickings for 'Y', to be honest)
Jamie Lee Curtis is allllways welcome!
🤣 What a range of intensity for the films on your list!
Jamie Lee is going to be in season 2 of One Piece (Live Action) and I'm gonna pee about it. 👀 😂 👾
@BosmangBeratna I didn't know that!
I tried watching the first episode and wasn't really taken with it but might have to try again 👍
It's a big divergence from Western formula, so just try to remember: it's all about the fun.
@BosmangBeratna Well I know the original (though haven't sat through every episode), I just found the live action version a bit... lacking.👍
That's fair, I'm not all that familiar with the source material, but I really enjoyed the LA.
(The) Shining
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Event Horizon
Phantasm
(The) Haunting
Eraserhead
Nightmare on Elm Street
I have rather eclectic tastes in movies. I'm not sure how well this would cohere as a film fest.
@MLClark Just watched OSIRIS-REx land in the Utah desert with asteroid Bennu samples. Can't help but think of the "Andromeda Strain," which would be in my horror fest.
