HOLLOW GATE (1988): Finished off this year's viewings with a SOV no-budget slasher mostly set during a Halloween party. Just the right pace for late-night. Via Tubi. Another October filled with frightfully fantastic flicks is complete! But the horror season never really ends. #HHype2025 Pt XXXIX

HALLOWEEN III: SEASON OF THE WITCH (1982): Forever a favourite and a perfect way to set the vibe for a Halloween night ahead. The score remains hypnotic and Tom Atkins so far out of pocket in the best way. A blast from start to finish. Via @screamfactory.bsky.social 4K UHD #HHype2025 Pt XXXVIII

HALLOWEEN: RESURRECTION (2002): The worst of the franchise, and it's not especially close. And yet, still has some charms (the prologue, Busta, the overall early-00s dated-ness). Always fun to dip into a major horror franchise on Halloween day. Via @hollywoodsuite.bsky.social #HHype2025 Pt XXXVII

HACK-O-LANTERN (1989): Enjoyed a mid-day double feature on Hallow'Eve, starting with this no-budget charming slasher. An ancestral satanic cult, horny teens, bad acting, music videos, horrible stand-up comedy. This has it all! A new seasonal favourite is born. Via Tubi. #HHype2025 Pt XXXIII

HELLO MARY LOU: PROM NIGHT 2 (1987): Came across a miraculous HD remaster of this reliable fave on YT. The transfer was a revelation after only seeing muddy versions over the years. A sequel in name only, that's always a delightful watch. Mary Lou is an all-time horror villain. #HHype2025 Pt XXX

Outstanding 80s soundtrack, a post-apocalyptic setting, Valley girls, empty shopping malls, zombies and Mary Woronov! Ideal recipe. #HHype2025 Pt I
