FOR #FILM17 OF #30FILMSOFHALFWAYTOHALLOWEEN I TRIED 'ELDRITCH CODE', A MOVIE WHOSE TEDIOUS LOVECRAFT PUNS ARE PAIRED WITH EVEN MORE TEDIOUS TECHNOBABBLE, AND HAD THIS DALEK WANTING TO HIT SOMETHING WITH A SOCK FULL OF PENNIES (BEFORE THEY GO FULLY OUT OF CIRCULATION)

And I have chosen new(ish) old school with John Carpenter's The Ward! A Carpenter-directed film I somehow managed to never see, and apparently the last movie he directed? What do the reviewers sa- oh. Oh. Well, it's a movie, that I'm going to watch, anyway. #Film15 #30FilmsOfHalfwayToHalloween

a man is standing in a room with a golf cart in front of him Alt: RHODES FROM 'DAY OF THE DEAD' HOPPING IN A GOLF CART TO FLEE THE ZOMBIE HORDES

TODAY! WE'RE GOING OLD SCHOOL, OR AT LEAST, OLD-ER SCHOOL, BY REVISITING AN ALL TIME GREAT #THELASTDRIVEIN EPISODE FOR 'DAY OF THE DEAD'! ZOMBIEPOCALYPSE TIIIIIIIIIIIME!

#FILM15 #30FILMSOFHALFWAYTOHALLOWEEN

I came across a little made for TV “horror” film from the 70s, called Shattered Silence aka When Michael Calls, that I’ve never heard of, which is weird because Michael Douglas was in it, and I had a whole Michael Douglas thing a few years ago. #Film14 #30FilmsOfHalfwayToHalloween

EARLIER TODAY! #FILM14 OF #30FILMSOFHALFWAYTOHALLOWEEN IS 'THE LORD OF ALL FUTURE SPACE AND TIME', A DECENTLY LONG "SHORT" FILM ON YOUTUBE! VERY COEN BROTHERS VIBE TO THIS ONE. THINK 'THE BALLAD OF BUSTER SCRUGGS' MEETS TIME TRAVEL.

MEMORIES OF WHICH ARE SCHEDULED IN TURN TO BE REPLACED BY CAM_BODY, THE CYBERPUNK VERSION, IN 2031!

#30FILMSOFHALFWAYTOHALLOWEEN

I'm watching Bodycam, which I could swear I've seen already, but it came out in 2025 so surely I'd have a better memory of it if I had, and I think I'm confusing it with the movie Body Cam, which I watched in 2021. I know, hard to believe. #Film13 #30FilmsOfHalfwayToHalloween

TIME FOR ANOTHER FUN VISIT TO THE BOWELS OF THE SHADOW GOVERNMENT YOU *WISH* YOU HAD WITH 'IN THIS OFFICE, ANCIENT CURSES ARE JUST ANOTHER TUESDAY' (ALSO KNOWN AS 'SCP DREAMS' IT SEEMS):

A CROPPED SECTION OF A STILL FROM 'THE DEVIL'S RAIN' WHERE SHATNER IS GETTING INTO A CAR. HIS COWBOY HAT, WHICH MAY BE CORDUROY, I AM NOT CERTAIN, IS ON THE POWDER BLUE TOP OF THE CAR AND HE IS LOOKING OVER SAID TOP. DUE TO THE AWKWARD PAUSE, SHATNER LOOKS EXTREMELY TIRED OR INTOXICATED.

OH YEAH? WELL IT'S TIME FOR #FILM11 THEN, AS I *ALSO* GO BACK TO REVISIT WALPURGISNACHT OF OLD WITH THE JOE BOB PRESENTATION OF 'THE DEVIL'S RAIN'!

TAKING DOWN NOTES FOR THE UPCOMING CELEBRATION. NEED SOME HERBS, SOME BURNING BROOMS...

#30FILMSOFHALFWAYTOHALLOWEEN

No rules! So #Film10 is episode 3 of the 6th season of Too Many Spirits because it’s ridiculous and Ryan and Shane make me laugh. #30FilmsOfHalfwayToHalloween #FilmIsALooseTerm

FEEL FREE TO THROW IN THIS 'SIX' SHORT AS WELL, WHY NOT.

WELL YESTERDAY WAS A BIT HECTIC AROUND THE SAUCER WITH TECH DALEK TRYING TO STOP TECHNOLOGY FROM... EXPLODING... BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY *I* FOUND TIME FOR SOME QUESTIOBALE SHORTS! LIKE THIS 'IT CAME NAMELESS IN SPRING' AS #FILM10 OF #30FILMSOFHALFWAYTOHALLOWEEN.

a man is sitting on a couch with his arms crossed and says `` it 's happened '' . Alt: GIF of Ty Burrell from Modern Family, sitting on a couch. The camera zooms in and the caption reads "It's happened. Satan's Trifecta."

Meanwhile I'm going all #NoPriorKnowledge and randomly selecting a "recommended for you" movie from 1945 called The Echo Murders. There's blackmail! Murder! Bizarre Nazi conspiracies! #Film9 #30FilmsOfHalfwayToHalloween

a man is standing next to a mannequin with the words " we 're not doing anything weird " on the bottom Alt: A person standing next to one of those hairdresser mannequin heads. There are clips in the mannequin’s hair and the person is holding a lock of its hair. The caption reads “WE’RE NOT DOING ANYTHING WEIRD”.

I have picked the first episode of the series Tales of Tomorrow, Verdict From Space, as #Film8 of #30FilmsOfHalfwayToHalloween - which technically would qualify under normal rules but we’ll let it slide.

TODAY! HERE AT THE SAUCER WE HAPPENED UPON A NEW-TO-US HIGH QUALITY (AND TOTALLY LEGIT) VERSION OF ONE OF THE LESSER MST3K EPISODES, A TAWDRY LITTLE PIECE OF TEENS-IN-TROUBLE CALLED 'KITTEN WITH A WHIP'. #FILM8 OF #30FILMSOFHALFWAYTOHALLOWEEN !

YES. YES IT IS!

#30FILMSOFHALFWAYTOHALLOWEEN

Well, apparently that is the Michael Myers’ mask. Well, that’s a thing I learned. #30FilmsOfHalfwayToHalloween #TheLastDriveIn

I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THAT ONE! WILL HAVE TO ADD IT TO THE QUEUE.

IN THE MEANTIME, THIS DALEK SLOGGED THROUGH A *LOT* OF SHORT FILMS AND ONLY ONE OF THEM WAS EVEN REMOTELY WORTH COUNTING FOR #30FILMSOFHALFWAYTOHALLOWEEN, SO #FILM7 FOR MY LIST WILL BE THIS:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3SF...

Probably not going to finish this tonight because I have stuff to do tomorrow so I can't stay up all night but #Film7 is from my #TheLastDriveIn backlog, appropriately from the Walpurgisnacht episode of Season 5, The Devil's Rain! #30FilmsOfHalfwayToHalloween @republicandalek.bsky.social

THEN FOLLOWING THAT UP WITH A SEQUEL! TO A SEQUEL! TO A SEQUEL! TO A CLASSIC! ANOTHER HELPING OF 'OUR ZOMBIES ARE DIFFERENT' WITH A SIDE OF POSSIBLY POINTED COMMENTARY ON UK ISOLATIONISM. IT'S TIME FOR MORE RAGE ZOMBIES WITH '28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE'

#FILM5 #30FILMSOFHALFWAYTOHALLOWEEN

TODAY! FOR #FILM4 OF #30FILMSOFHALFWAYTOHALLOWEEN 'PLEASANT INN' OFFERS A FUN-SIZED PORTION OF HORROR IN THAT MOST HARMLESS AND NON-THREATENING OF SETTINGS DURING THAT MOST WHOLESOME AND NON-THREATENING OF JOURNEYS: THE ROADSIDE MOTEL ON A CROSS-COUNTRY CAR TRIP.

Psycho A-Go-Go - Wikipedia

I... DO NOT THINK SO? BUT THERE *ARE* APPARENTLY THREE VERY DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THAT FILM, RELEASED OVER DECADES, SO...

#30FILMSOFHALFWAYTOHALLOWEEN

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psycho_...

For #Film3 of #30FilmsOfHalfwayToHalloween I'm watching Blood & Flesh: The Reel Life and Ghastly Death of Al Adamson. If we haven't watched some of this guy's films on #TheLastDriveIn, I'll be surprised.

NO IDEA WHAT'S HAPPENING, EH?

I'LL SEE YOUR CONFUSION & RAISE WITH BEFUDDLEMENT AS TECHIE REQUESTED 'BODY COUNT' FROM RIFFTRAX. IT HAS ROBERT DAVI! AND SONNY CHIBA! AND BRIGITTE NIELSON! AND JAN-MICHAEL VINCENT! AND IT'S DUMBER THAN A SACK OF CYBERMEN. #FILM3 OF #30FILMSOFHALFWAYTOHALLOWEEN!

Jagyasini Singh When You Are Not Sure GIF Alt: GIF of a person wearing a purple and white hooded pullover and pink fuzzy ear muffs indicating an "okay sure why not" level of agreement. The caption reads "WHEN YOU'RE NOT SURE, BUT YOU'RE STILL IN". The suggested alt text indicates that the person is Jagyasini Singh.

I was going to watch a whole movie for #Film2 but the day very much got away from me, so I've picked a short film so short it only just manages to meet the only rule we got - Double Vision! It's atmospheric and works even though I had no idea what's happening. #30FilmsOfHalfwayToHalloween

FOR #FILM2 OF #30FILMSOFHALFWAYTOHALLOWEEN THE DALEK WENT WITH SOMETHING A BIT SHORTER AND NEWER BUT, IRONICALLY, ALSO KIND OF OLDER SCHOOL! IT'S ONCE AGAIN YOUTUBE HORROR SHORT TIME FOR ONE OF OUR FESTIVALS WITH 'PARAGON'.
