The TODDcast

Affleck is the bomb in Phantoms, yo! Yeah, O'Toole is the exposition bomb actually. Koontz WROTE the screenplay... blame him. #koontz #phantoms #31daysofHalloweenmovies

A King adaption that totally works! Mike Flanagan started his adaptation roll here. Most thought it wouldn't work. He proved them wrong. #geraldsgame #netflix #31daysofhalloweenmovies

Even King fans will probably want to skip. Sutherland and Martell are interesting enough together, but do little to scare you. #netflix #mrharrigansphone #31dayspfhalloweenmovies

Go watch. Now. @giacchino knocks it out of the friggin park. #werewolfbynight #disneyplus #31daysofhalloweenmovies

Another family classic that is the perfect way to introduce kids to scary stuff. If it was live action, it would have kicked! #scoobydoozombieisland #amazonprime #31daysofhalloweenenmovies

A new family classic for a reason. Not unlike Nightmare Before Christmas. The balance of scares, humor and animation are assisted with great voice work.  #paranorman #roku #31daysofhalloweenmovies

Creepy cult flick in one location that is most effective. Little bit goring for squeamish but not over the top. #1BR #amazonprime #31daysofhalloweenmovies

Romancing the Vampire? For some reason set at Christmas at Lake Tahoe, adds nothing to the movie. Low budget but decent ideas. #redsnow #freevee #31daysofhalloweenmovies

If you like Lovecraft then this is definitely for you. Kwanten does ok but Simmons as a restroom bound voiceover steals the show. #glorious #shudder #31daysofhalloweenmovies

Zoom Pandemic Seance.  That kinda summarizes it.  #shudder #host #31daysofhalloweenmovies

Vampire story plus disaffected marriage tale. Actually works really well and has gore for you. One of more interesting flicks in while. #jakobswife #shudder #31daysofhalloweenmovies

Remaking alert, but this OG with Eddie Murphy still works. Definitely lighter fare for the family, but a jaunty laugh. #disneyplus #31daysofhalloweenmovies #hauntedmansion

Shackled to dead guy? Check out #GeraldsGame for something better Fox does ok. More thriller than scary. #tilldeath #31daysofhalloweenmovies #netflix

Get's better by season Somehow adding more depth and more characters and still balancing... Like Daniel-san on a pier. #netflix #cobrakai

Predictably acted written and directed, but good enough to elevate. Stallone nails stoic, kid is witty without precociousness.  #samaritan #amazonprime #stallone

Ron Howard has mastered this type of real-life re-telling. It's like Apollo 13 in a cave- wait a minute, 13??? #13lives #amazonprime

Can I compare a movie to cotton candy?  Foxx is better than this. Most of the players are.  #dayshift #netflix

Killer entry in great franchise. Comanche girl makes for great prequel. #hulu #prey

Gosling, De Armas, Evans, the Russos all do their work, yet it feels very workman-like. Ably bridges Bourne and Bond, but is that enough? #thegrayman #russobros #chrisevans #gosling #netflix

Thompson and McCormack carry this well. Graphic for a good reason. #goodluckleogrande #hulu 

John Cho pulls off being a teen parent. Roadtrip dramedy works well.  #amazonprime #dontmakemego

Independent film that pre-dates the multiversal hero movies by five years. Does to multi-verse evil twin stories what Primer did for time travel. #thewrongtodd #goodmovie #amazonprime

Lots of talent, derivative story. Hard to sit through unless you are a kid.  #netflix #theseabeast 

The most #Waititi movie of the Marvel movies. Lots of to LOVE and not LOVE.  #marvel #loveandthunder #thor

Performances are ok. Story and sci-fi concept carry the day on this. Little graphic but interesting. #spiderhead #netflix #hemsworthy
