Another day, another double feature, this time of a movie that came out a couple of years ago but which I'm just now getting around to seeing and its newly-released sequel. How were they? Read on...
Smile (2022)
Rated R for strong violent content and grisly images, and language

Just because I left Fort Lauderdale, and with it Popcorn Frights, behind when I moved to Boston last year doesn't mean I have to give up on horror festivals. And just as I managed to sneak in a trip to the Telluride Horror Show amidst my adventures in Utah back in 2022, so too did I find that -- where else? -- Salem, Massachusetts hosted the annual Salem Horror Show in April and May. Tonight was the first night, and they screened one of the festival's token non-horror films in The People's Joker, a queer Batman spoof made without any official approval from DC Comics or Warner Bros. (They originally had a screening of Hocus Pocus planned with Kathy Najimy as a special guest, but Najimy had to cancel at the last minute.) How was it?

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022)
Rated PG for action/violence, rude humor/language, and some scary moments
Some Halloween leftovers: a couple of weeks ago, I got the opportunity to travel to Telluride, Colorado and take in the last day of the Telluride Horror Show, a horror film festival held every year in October. What, just because I couldn't make Popcorn Frights doesn't mean I'm totally bereft of local horror festivals!
