Hubie Halloween (2020)
This is a horror comedy starring Adam Sandler. If you have seen Adam Sandler films, you know how goofy they can be.
I watched this when it was released on Netflix in 2020. And I have watched it a bunch of times since then. It is a hilarious and fun film. I love it.
It is available to watch on Netflix.
The Demon Murder Case (1983)
This film stars Kevin Bacon and is based on a true story. It is sometimes known as The Demon Murder Case or “The Devil Made Me Do It” case. The 2021 Conjuring film is also based on this true story.
It is the first known court case in the United States which sought to prove innocence on the basis of demonic possession.
Arne Johnson claims he was possessed when he killed his landlord. He was found guilty and sentenced to 10 – 20 years. He served only 5 years.
It’s an interesting case. Do I believe he was possessed? I’ve seen so much in my life that I can’t say he was lying.
I believe possession is real. I believe in ghosts. I believe in angels. And I believe there are bad spirits. Do I think every person who commits murder or does bad things is possessed? No. Unfortunately, there are just some horrible humans in the world.
I do believe possession happens, and it can definitely change a person. It can make them do things they wouldn’t do.
It wasn’t a bad movie, and it is worth a watch. I found it on YouTube, and the quality isn’t great. But that is the only way I was able to watch it. It doesn’t look like it was ever released on DVD.
The Abandoned (2006)
An adopted woman returns to Russia, her home country, to learn the truth about her family history.
This is one of those films where you question if the things happening are real. Going by the ending, I don’t think it was just in the main character’s head.
It was an interesting film that kept me watching. I liked this one.
Unfortunately, it’s not available to watch on any streaming service. I watched it on DVD.
Me and my friend are still in the process of getting my mom’s estate settled. We’ve been able to get a few bills canceled on our own, but the house and everything else will need the help of an attorney.
I’m having to wait for my new ID to come in the mail. To buy death certificates requires an ID with my current address. We moved into a new place this year, and I hadn’t updated my ID yet.
We already talked to a local attorney in Pennsylvania. My friend had a meeting with him. My friend already spoke to an auctioneer about auctioning the house. The auctioneer sent me a few contracts to sign, but I have to wait for that, too.
It’s all a process.
But a part of me doesn’t want to get rid of the house.
My mom always told me if anything happened to her, the house would be mine.
A part of me wants to move and live there.
The mortgage payment is so much cheaper than our rent. And honestly, being somewhere without Victor’s family around would save us a lot of money. His mom living with us costs money and all that he does for the rest of his family and his kids.
But I don’t think it would be possible.
I need the money from selling the house to pay for her ashes and the remaining bills. Also, it would cost quite a bit for me and Victor to move there, and we don’t have the money to do that. Not to mention having to find work to pay the bills.
And I don’t know if I can convince Victor to move away from his family.
He talks to them, but he’s not close to his family like me and my mom were. His trauma is what causes him to feel responsible for his family.
I wish I could convince him to move to Pennsylvania. I have family there, but I’m not close to them. I have a few good friends there. I know my mom is gone, but Pennsylvania is where I’d rather be.
I know Victor’s family. I’ve met them. I’ve spent the holidays with them. I have talked to his stepmother a lot.
His dad and one sister told Victor to give me their condolences. But none of them have reached out to me personally. His sister is on my friend’s list on Facebook. She could reach out to me if she wanted.
Am I expecting too much from them? I don’t know. I’ve moved away from my home twice for Victor. We’ve been together for over four years now. Victor told me in the past that his family is mine, too.
But what do me and Victor have here besides each other? That’s how I feel.
Victor explained to his family what happened with my mom. He told them we’d have to go there eventually for me to sign papers. And I’m sure he told them the financial strain it could cause us.
But like my family, they haven’t offered any help.
I’ve dealt with family like this my whole life. Victor has, too. But he responds to it differently. I don’t deny how my family is. But I think he is still in denial.
He told me his family used to be close. They would get together for holidays, but when his grandma died, they started fighting and stabbing each other in the back.
I don’t believe the death of one family member could turn a whole supposedly close and loving family against each other. I think the truth is that is who his family always were. It just took the death of his grandma for everyone to show their true colors.
I think he’s in denial because of his trauma, but it’s also normal to want a close and loving family. I wish I had that, too.
This is all so hard.
I just want a better life for me and Victor.
Tales of Halloween (2015)
This is a horror comedy anthology. All stories take place on Halloween in the same town.
I wouldn’t say this is scary. It’s a bit gory with some messed up situations, but it is funny. It’s a film I watch every October. Friday the 31st is one of my favorite stories in this film.
It’s available to watch on Prime, Tubi, the Roku Channel, and Freevee.
Stir of Echoes (1999)
Tom is hypnotized at a party by his sister-in-law. He soon begins to have visions and starts seeing the ghost of a girl who died. And the girl wants his help. She wants the truth to be revealed how she died.
This was released to theaters in September of 1999. I didn’t see it until it came out on DVD, and that probably wasn’t until 2000.
Kevin Bacon is amazing in this. It doesn’t scare me, but it is an intense film. The scene where it is shown what happens to the girl still gets me. It is a film that has been a favorite of mine since I first watched it. I love this film.
It’s available to watch on Tubi, Pluto TV, and Freevee.
Silver Bullet (1985)
In a small town, brutal killings begin happening. Marty, a young boy, believes it is a werewolf doing the killings.
This film stars great actors such as Megan Follows, Corey Haim, and Gary Busey. It’s based on a Stephen King book. I’ve never found the film scary, but it is one I have always liked. It is one of the films I watch every October.
It is available to watch on Max.
Darkness Falls (2003)
A woman who was loved by children and gave them a coin every time they lost a tooth. It earned her the name the Tooth Fairy. A fire broke out in her home, and she was left disfigured. But the townspeople were suspicious and believed her to be a witch. She was lynched by a mob 150 years ago.
She visits children the night they lose their last tooth, but they must never look at her, or she will take her revenge.
Kyle is the only one to look at her and live. As an adult, he returns to his hometown to help a childhood friend’s younger brother who is being stalked by the same spirit.
This film didn’t receive good reviews, but I’ve always liked it. Creepy with a good story.
It’s not currently available to watch on any streaming services. I have a copy on DVD that I watched.
Dead Silence (2007)
After Jamie’s wife is killed, he returns to his hometown to find answers. His investigation leads him to a ventriloquist named Mary Shaw. She has ties to his and other families in his hometown.
I watched this film for the first time in 2017. And it instantly became a favorite. It is a creepy one. If dolls or ventriloquist dummies freak you, this might not be the film for you.
It is available to watch on Peacock and Tubi.
Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1992)
This film came out before the show. I’ve watched this before, but it’s been a number of years since I’ve watched it.
It’s a funny movie with a lot of great actors. It’s just a fun film.
It’s available to watch on Max.
