SHOCKTOBER ‘26 #1: BRAINDEAD / DEAD ALIVE Takes longer to get started than I remembered but Jackson’s cartoonish glee at shredding bodies from every conceivable angle is infectious and as soon as you think you’ve seen every gag, out comes the lawnmower. Remember the reason for the season.

SHOCKTOBER ‘26 #2: MARTYRS I wanted to revisit this in hope that it might have something to say about who suffers in the name of the elite’s fear of death but I found it still as frustratingly vague as ever. Laugier said he wrote it about pain and yeah I guess he did. The first hour cooks tho.

SHOCKTOBER ‘26 #3: THE STONE TAPE The people demand a sequel about the Dipshit Washing Machine Guy and his team discovering the room and also being driven insane trying to make a dryer that runs on rocks infused with trauma.

SHOCKTOBER ‘26 #4: PSYCHO II I’ve been hearing it for years, first a low murmur but growing in volume: “the PSYCHO sequels have the juice” What? Impossible. This movie was made 23 years after the first one! But friends, I’m here, humbled before you and god alike to say: it’s got the juice.

SHOCKTOBER ‘26 #5: BACKROOMS This wasn’t doing it for me until they threw in a big silly monster and some bloodshed but the third act chase has some staggeringly cool moments. MARTYRS has fried my brain but I was watching the ending like: “yup that’s a MARTYRS alright”. I’ve gone full Martyr-ino.

As the world's only Hellraiser 3 Defender, hearing of a hated sequel being more enjoyable than it should be has me leaning forward in my chair
