We’re practically into September which means it’s Halloween Season (FOR ME PERSONALLY)!

This Spooktober I have dubbed Oozetoberfest! I’m catching up on horror movies and creature features that I’ve never seen, both vintage and hot off the 2025 presses. This year I’ve got a sub-focus on slimes, blobs, oozes, and melting. Also featuring brains and aliens and alien brains and brain aliens! Brailiens? Oh, and say hi to David Cronenberg, he’s in the back with the snacks and the cooler. We’re havin’ fun. Letterboxd link if you want to slop it up Batt Scare-It style this Oozetoberfest!

MONSTROMETRY

John Carpenter, eat your heart out. WAIT JOHN NOT LITERALLY! OH NO! NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

EXTREME G

In the future, no one can drive 55.

RAT NIGHT

In Japan it’s called Giant Horde Beast Nezura.

It’s not all spooky beats and satanic techno though! I was able to cook up some metal and even a little blues!

DRIVE HOME AFTER DARK

The polar opposite of Extreme G. Just ridin’ home.

If you like those, be sure to check out the whole menagerie!

WHAT IS OOZEPUNK?

Oozepunk is the term I’m coining for the microgenre of urban heroic sci-fi horror-fantasy that first exploded in the mid-80s with movies, shows, and comics like Ghostbusters, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Toxic Avenger, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Hellboy, Street Sharks, and others. Lots of natural crossover with Biopunk and Cyberpunk, aesthetically and philosophically.

Your childhood trauma didn’t let you forget Roger Rabbit heavily featured colorful nightmare slime, did it?
