The first week of October's 31-word horror movie review contest has wrapped up!

11 submissions covering a wide variety of horror movies

Honorable Mentions

@deSign_r's review of The Shining stuck with me: "An enigma from which there is no escape" certainly reminds me of my feelings the one (and only) time I watched it. Also, deSign_r took the trouble to mock up a pretty great Stacker version of the movie poster!
@guerratotal's review of Cannibal Holocaust deserves mention purely because of the choice of movie.
@GreaterthanFiction's review of Scream was artful and intriguing (especially for someone who hasn't watched Scream yet...)

10k sat zap winner

Congratulations to @0xbitcoiner for reviewing Troll 2
I've been hunting for this movie for 3 days, couldn’t remember the name. This was the first and last horror movie (this kind of horror) I ever watched in my life.
This was a review that really made me want to watch the movie. There are so many elements to it that, coupled with the poster art, piqued my interest. Memorable, yet forgettable. Something that makes you never want to watch it again...
I got as far as the end of the trailer before I realized that I did not want to watch it at all.
Well done, @0xbitcoiner!

Next 10k sat prize to be awarded on October 15! All 31-word horror movie reviews posted from today through Tuesday, October 14 will be considered!

They really are striking films, just like the Wrong Turn films were in their day. Now you see them and they seem kind of stupid, but they were really traumatizing hahaha
Congratulations @0xbitcoiner

Maybe it was traumatizing because I watched it back when I was a teenager. I never rewatched it, but there are scenes that are still stuck in my head, and some of them are actually kinda funny now. Ahahah

That's what happens with those kinds of films, the effects seem silly now, but as children we thought they were horrible things.

Ahahahah
What a nice surprise, I totally wasn’t expecting it. I spent three days trying to find it because I only remembered the name in Portuguese (Terror na Floresta, Horror in the Woods. But I couldn’t find anything with that name.), which has nothing to do with the original title (Troll 2). I legit got so scared! Hahaha. Thanks!

Can’t believe you haven’t seen Scream, such a classic. Get that one on your Halloween watching list!

I am woefully deficient along many verticals.
