I haven't seen any of those films yet.
Perhaps it's time to check them out.

Here are links or pointers to the other five movies in the article I referenced. Alien Abduction: Incident in Lake County (1998) www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pGcN3b1IRQTV Movie apparently taped off WOR-TV Note: There are two movies with this name. The article I linked above refers to the 1998 version. There is also a different 2014 movie with the same name that Amazon Prime wants even subscribers to pay for. Blood Rage (1987) Amazon Prime free for subscribers Blood Freak (1972) Amazon Prime free for subscribers Thanksgiving (2007) Fake movie trailer in Grindhouse (2007) www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVsHe7f9w0wHome Sweet Home (1981) www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeWiadii5NY |

Back in the 1970s, good old WOR-TV used to play King Kong (1933), Son of Kong (1933) and Mighty Joe Young (1949) on Thanksgiving Day. I might revive this tradition. I have King Kong on DVD, Son of Kong is on Daily Motion and Mighty Joe Young is on archive.org. (Archive.org is free but sometimes asks for donations, like Wikipedia. I donate to both.)

Madman (1982)
Kicking things off tonight, with this slasher.
Set at a Camp for Gifted kids, where they and the Counselors
are preparing to return to the city.
Right before Thanksgiving.
But a psycho killer starts running amok.

I've got a DVD set with the three (Have the King on Blu, too) but I'm pretty sure I can't talk my mom into going for this idea.  |

OK I watched them. King Kong Still good after countless viewings, with the stop motion effects pioneered by Willis O’Brien still nice to look at. And Fay Wray is as good to look at as ever. I have a book on the making of this movie. I believe Peter Jackson read this book. Quite a few of the things that were planned for King Kong and also Son of Kong that never got into those movies but are described in this book showed up in Jackson’s King Kong. Examples: The giant insects at the bottom of the ravine, the dinosaur stampede, Kong being seen to fall off the Empire State Building viewed from above. And more. Son of Kong “Kong had a little son” “ How little?” This movie was a rush job, to cash in on the success of King Kong, not giving Willis O’Brien much time to do his thing. As a result, there are the lengthy subplots about treachery and mutiny before getting to Kong Island. Still what we do get to see of OB’s work is fine. Funnier and cornier than the original but still worth watching. Mighty Joe Young A different kind of monkey business, more realistic (sort of) than the Kongs. Willis O’Brien was the Technical Creator but most of the actual work was done by Ray Harryhausen in his first big time project. A bigger budget, more time to work and of course Harryhausen’s magic touch made for a lot of stop motion FX of mostly high quality. The burning orphanage sequence is especially effective. |

(2000) The Ice Storm (1997) I have not seen Ravenous but the tagline You Are What You Eat and what I have heard about the Wendigo connection are intriguing. I know very little about the other two but what little I read about What's Cooking sounds uncomfortably like the huge multi-ethnic family dinners at which I was always the black sheep, not being in accord with any of them.  |

I highly recommend Ravenous. The Ice Storm is the personal drama of Two Suburban families. Set in Connecticut during the 70's, directed by Any Lee. |
