Horror Movie Night

We are just slicing right through Franchise February and have found ourselves in the armpit of Texas as we inherit our grandmother’s mansion. Too bad we didn’t read the letter she left for us, because if he had, we would’ve spared everyone from TEXAS CHAINSAW 3D (2013). Too late now - Leatherface is on the loose in the Halloween carnival and the town is kind of taking it in strides, really. Probably not a conspiracy between the mayor and police, right? Thankfully blood is thicker than water so we can enjoy Alexandra Daddario saying, “Do your thing, cuz!”

A Friday the 13th during Franchise February? You know we had to go back 17 years to the day for a rewatch of FRIDAY THE 13TH (2009). It’s not a particularly good movie, but as Matt points out, it might be the best F13 sequel we got post-JASON LIVES, but that’s a pretty low bar to begin with. Who cares, Jason the Survivalist is out there!

It’s cold and snowy out, why not stay in and work on a puzzle? There’s this weird box we can’t seem to get open and it’s tearing us apart to find out what’s inside… Welcome to Franchise February, which we’re kicking off with an all-time favorite that we somehow never discussed until now - the original HELLRAISER (1987)! It’s incredible to think that we did almost every other entry in the series before the movie that kicked it off, but that might be because it’s pretty perfect and the sequels are a bit hit-or-miss. We wasted all our good suffering on those movies so we could enjoy this one together!

Matt takes us off the beaten path once again with the splatter-packed kung fu film Riki-O the Story of Ricky! This outrageous film from 1991 plays out like if Peter Jackson made a micro-budget karate movie. Crushed heads, empty eyeball sockets and reassembling muscles is just part of the pure chaos found in this bizarre film!

There’s nothing quite like an early 2000s hot-alien-girls-at-college movie during a massive snowstorm, and that’s exactly what your boys here at HMN have on the syllabus for you this week. When you consider the fact that DECOYS (2004) is set in January in Canada, the absence of nude alien women makes a lot more sense, but tell that to the guys renting this one from Blockbuster back in the day. What it lacks in skin it makes up for in millenial humor, so we can’t be too upset about the watch…right?

We had so much fun last year with its predecessor, we decided to get right to killer mirror sequel no one asked for early on in 2026. MIRROR MIRROR 2: RAVEN DANCE (1994) isn’t a good movie, but it definitely has its moments, from the on-screen antics of Roddy McDowell and William Sanderson, to some delightfully silly murders and fatal accidents. Oh, and we have to mention that this was Mark Ruffalo’s film debut! So basically it’s got everything. Take a look with us, why don’t you?
