Day 6 - Blade Runner . 1982
Sci-Fi Classic. Moody and full of great actors. Rutger Hauer for the win. And Harrison Ford eats noodles.

31 in 31 - "More human than human is our motto."
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die."

'Here it Comes.'
Day 5 - Double bill of Star Trek Discovery premiere episodes. Not horror but very dark. And I do what I want.
1x01 - The Vulcan Hello
1x02 - Battle at the Binary Stars
Basically a Star Trek movie on television. A+.

31 in 31 - "Space..."
"Go. Away."
Day 4 - Star Trek: The Next Generation - 4x17 - 'Night Terrors'
The crew can't dream and all begin to lose their collective sh*t. Some gnarly visions occur and ghostly happenings invade the Enterprise - like bodies in a morgue sitting up around Dr. Crusher. CREEPY!
Bonus points for repurposing a Reliant model as the ill-fated USS Brittain.

31 in 31 - "She's ALIIVE!"
"You think I'm mad. Perhaps I am. But listen, Henry Frankenstein. While you were digging in your graves, piecing together dead tissues, I, my dear pupil, went for my material to the source of life. I grew my creatures, like cultures, grew them as nature does, from seed."
DAY 3 - The Bride of Frankenstein - 1935.
Funny that in 1935 all they had to put on the poster was Karloff. No full name needed here. My favorite scene is when the injured monster breaks bread with the blind hermit. Elsa Lanchester was a fox! A classic.

31 in 31 - "12:00, the 21st of April."
"I don't know what happened to Antonio Bay tonight. Something came out of the fog and tried to destroy us. In one moment, it vanished. But if this has been anything but a nightmare, and if we don't wake up to find ourselves safe in our beds, it could come again. To the ships at sea who can hear my voice, look across the water, into the darkness. Look for the fog."
Day 2 - THE FOG - 1980.
Creepy minimal horror from the master Carpenter.

"Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that."
DAY 1 - Apocalypse Now - 1979.
Technically not a horror film, but it is full of horrible things. And of course -- Robert Duvall.

To the last, I will grapple with thee.
Friday marked the 51st Anniversary of the debut of the most important TV series in human history.
In celebration, BBC America ran an Original Series marathon. They played 4 incredible episodes back to back to back to back.
Amok Time. Best known for the immortal fight theme music when Kirk and Spock face off, one of my favorite moments in all of Trek happens at the end when Spock realizes he has not, in fact, killed his captain.
--
Mirror Mirror. Spock has a beard and all of our heroes are power hungry mad men. Before good Kirk leaves, he says this to mirror Spock:
"In every revolution there's one man with a vision."
Mirror Spock: "Captain Kirk, I shall consider it."
--
City on the Edge of Forever. The greatest episode of TV and Star Trek. Ever.
Kirk has to sacrifice his true love, Edith Keeler, for the sake of the known universe.
Edith: "I still have a few questions I'd to ask about you two. Oh, and don't give me that "Questions about little old us?" look. You know as well as I do how out of place you two are around here."
Spock: Interesting. "Where would you estimate we belong, Miss Keeler?"
Edith Keeler: [to Spock] "You? At his side, as if you've always been there and always will."
God, that is wonderful.
--
Balance of Terror. Romulans, Cloaking Devices, Submarines in space.
What a way to cap it off. McCoy has his best line in the history of the series in this:
"In this galaxy, there's a mathematical probability of three million Earth-type planets. And in all of the universe, three million million galaxies like this. And in all of that... and perhaps more, only one of each of us.
...Don't destroy the one named Kirk."
--
Sunday, I saw the 35th Anniversary of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan in the theater. The best movie ever made. In History. Period.
There are none higher. It isn't even up for debate.
"Of my friend, I can only say this: of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most... human."
--
"You ok, Jim? How do you feel?
Young. I feel young."
Onward.
