Cheesy (Literally) Movie Night

/

I don't know about you guys, but I pretty much celebrate Halloween as soon as October 1st rolls around. I get some milk and Halloween Oreos, put on my It’s Just a Bunch of Hocus Pocus top, and settle in for some Halloween movies.

Personally, I don’t do scary movies, so my routine of Halloween flicks includes Hocus Pocus, Sleepy Hollow, Beetlejuice, The Nightmare Before Christmas, It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown — you get the idea.

But other than these super tame movies, I also love the ones who master cheesy humor, cheap gore, and ridiculous plot lines. We just had friends over to watch Slice… it was worth one watch, but I don’t know that I’d recommend it. We’ll be watching Blood Fest next — *fingers crossed* for extra cheese.

But if you’re new to cheesy movies, or just looking for a few you may not have heard of, I’ve got some you need to watch right now.

  • Attack the Block - A teen street gang fights an invasion of "big gorilla wolf mother**ckers" in a London housing project. Also, another acting side of John Boyega (Star Wars) and Jodie Whittaker (Doctor Who).

  • Bloodsucking Bastards - Office Space meets Shaun of the Dead is how this film has been accurately described online.

  • Cooties - Having worked in child care, I found this one to be pretty entertaining. Though I will say it's not as strong as some of the others. But zombie children are a terrifying thought.

  • Dead Before Dawn - A bunch of college kids accidentally break an evil urn, releasing a curse that causes everyone they make eye contact with die and turn into zombie demons. These "zemons" give hickeys to humans instead of biting them to spread the virus. Can the cheese get any thicker?

  • FAQs About Time Travel - Three friends drinking in a pub use a bathroom to jump in and out of different time loops. Was really hoping for a sequel on this one…

  • Grabbers - The heroes in this movie have to get drunk to survive an alien invasion off the coast of Ireland.

  • Idle Hands - As if the IMDb description isn't hilarious enough... "A teenage slacker's right hand becomes possessed with murderous intent...," childhood bae, Devon Sawa, is the star!

  • Tucker & Dale Versus Evil - ALAN TUDYK AND TYLER LABINE. 'nuff said. But if you really need more convincing, they play vacationing hillbillies who’re repeatedly mistaken for murderers by a group of college preps.

  • Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse - The fact that it’s literally a campy movie got me to press play. *worth it*

Go on, give them a whirl — you won't regret it. Just make sure you’ve got the right atmosphere — great friends, plush seating, lights off, stack of pizza, cold beer, bowl of popcorn, and plenty of candy… it is Halloween after all.

xo,
