Okay. Do you have Criterion Channel? Because their October update is a doozy. Mostly the selection of cheesy 80s horror movies.

This is important: Have you ever enjoyed a Kyle MacLaughlan performance, ever? Because if so you really, really want to watch "The Hidden" (1987). No, don't look up what it's about. Just know it's extremely over the top and you want to watch it. If you don't trust me or don't have Criterion Channel, here is the trailer (also amazingly over the top). But it's one of those 2-minute 80s trailers that appears to contain the entire movie, so honestly you should just watch the real thing.

Some other things in the horror lineup I've never seen but caught my eye: Scanners, Prince of Darkness ("THIS IS NOT A DREAM... NOT A DREAM... WE ARE TRANSMITTING FROM YEAR 1 9 9 9..."), Tetsuo the Iron Man (!), "Cat People" (?!?), and both Dracula (1931) and Blacula (1972).

Also, not horror but another movie that went live on Criterion Channel today I sincerely believe you want to see: Deep Cover (1992), which has young Laurence Fishburne AND young Jeff Goldblum both at the most intense they've ever been. It's where that one Future Sound of London sample came from, the theme was the first Snoop Dog song ever commercially released, and it's got POLITICS.
