*** Special notice and alert –> Apparently the letter K was lost in time. Just discovered today by an archeology team on vacation from a galaxy far far away. This is not an attempt by me to reorder the alphabet into …T,U,K,V,W… That would just be weird. Without further ado, I return you to October, and present the letter K as intended. ***

When I started this idea, I was like “There’s only 26 letters and 31 days in October. I’ll be able to finish this with days to spare. What should I do for the extra days?” … Well this is letter 11 and we are on day 19. Extra days are not going to be a thing. I shall do my best to get as far as I can, and keep going until we reach that wonderful letter Z.

If you haven’t seen this yet, I can’t express to you how unique it truly is. Don’t get me wrong, it is an 80’s B horror movie with all the wonderful acting you would expect from it. Right down to the two cheesy idiot brothers who drive an ice cream truck around town because they thought it would be a good way to pick up women.

The Killer Klowns in this are actually aliens. And the big top circus tent is really their spaceship. We never fully understand why they have come to Earth and what they want. Beyond terrorizing the town and capturing citizens in cotton candy cocoons.

The Klowns engage in pretty much every trope associated with circus clowns in our world. But in deadly ways. Popcorn guns, but also the computer console of their ship appears to be a popcorn machine as well. Which makes me wonder. Which one is emulating the other? The Killer Klowns are physically distorted figures of clowns. But that appears to be their anatomy. Which makes it seem as though human clowns were designed in the image of the alien ones.

Which is a scary thought.

This is a wild and fun horror movie. Much like Shaun of the Dead was. A truly difficult thing to pull off. And surprising that in almost 40 years there hasn’t been a sequel. Probably because of how tough it would be to do it justice.

K doesn’t offer a lot of options in horror movies, but if you find yourself in need of picking one to watch. Start here.

Kingdom is a period piece Korean zombie epic. Think Walking Dead but in like 1600 (?) South Korea. And also they actually tell us what the cause was of the outbreak. A plant called the Resurrection flower got it all started.

And what went from a minor outbreak that was almost contained, it turned into a wide spread problem. But there is a cool thing about their take on the undead. These zombies seem to be kin to vampires. Not really. But they hide during the day and hibernate, then come back to life at night. Which is different and unique and wild.

Now there are times it doesn’t make sense. I hear you. What do you mean zombies don’t make sense? Well…. When they wake up, they should all wake up at the same time. But it is better tv to have a single one wake up. Causing terror in those watching. And then the rest rise and chaos ensues.

But then something happens. One day they don’t wait for night to rise. They get up during the day. But we just learned the rules about them being nocturnal! What the heck? Turns out it’s temperature related. Hot weather makes them hide.

The show only got two seasons, and they are more like old British seasons. Only 6 episodes each. This surprised me because I had gotten used to Korean shows that had 16 episodes in a season. So when I saw 2 seasons I was expecting a lot more episodes. There is a spin off movie special prequel.

I do admit I am not finished with the entirety of it yet. Look, I’m already behind. I can’t catch up on 14 hours of stuff in a couple days. I have other things I need to do as well.
