Today was an interesting double feature of:
Pumpkinhead (1988) - I've been focusing a bit on folk horror this month, and this is one I kept putting off through the years assuming it was low budget cheese. In an ironic twist, I ended up liking this one more for the story and emotion than I did the f/x since it's directed by Stan Winston. It stars a surprisingly buff Lance Henriksen as a shop owner who summons an entity to seek revenge on a group of teens after an accident. This was surprisingly good and even the teens weren't the typical cookie cutter teens of other horror movies. 7/10
Pet Sematary II (1992) - This one, on the other hand I found to be quite bad. The PCP pod doesn't get everything right of course, and this was one they were talking about in an episode I relistened to this month. I saw it when it came out, but thought it was worth a revisit with fresh eyes. I was wrong, and I will admit that I started skimming through stuff because I was not having a good time with it. 3/10. Edward Furlong didn't help the cause, but I thought maybe Goose and Mr. Krabs would help a little.
According to my letterboxd, that was #36 and #37.
