I really was seeing anything and everything I could within driving distance from Crockett, TX. This was my normal from 1993 until about 1999, and on top of this worked in a video store, but I wasn’t logging my rentals like this. This is also why I haven’t seen any 90’s TV shows btw. 😝

I found my movie log from the year 1996 (I was just 21). $$ = I paid for it. ** = I saw it for free at one of the locations of the chain I worked for.

EVIL DEAD BURN hit me with a scene so deeply upsetting that I literally cried (lol wtf). Did not expect that reaction at all. Felt sick through most of everything after that. So, uh, yeah, this is the best of these post-Ash ED movies.

The working middle-class neighborhood in END OF OAK STREET being comprised of older mid-century homes and not newer suburbs (which are typically used as the shorthand of “this is the 80’s.”) The older homes felt more “real” and well-observed.

I’m gonna reverse this question for fun: what’s a movie whose historical verisimilitude impressed you in proportion for what you were expecting? My choice is Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure bsky.app/profile/dear...

I think it's important for Hellraiser movies to have: A) a protagonist who you do not want bad things to happen to. B) an antagonist that is easier to despise than Cenobites. C) Cenobites that make you say "what is THAT?" Anyway, these are also my hopes for the video game.
