Today’s supremely shitty weather is perfect for sitting in a theater for 12 solid hours of horror films, which is exactly what I’m doing.

1. The Vampire’s Coffin. Mexico, 1950s. Rubber bats ahoy! Body count: 2. ★★½

2. Food of the Gods. USA, 1976. Who knew country rats were so much bigger than city rats? Body count: 5. ★★★

3. Rituals. Canada, 1977. Well, that was dark. Basically Deliverance II. Body count: 5. ★★★

4. Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors. UK, 1965. Super fun anthology with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. Body count: 9 (and a dog). ★★★½

5. Blood and Roses. France, 1960. Certainly the most elegant film of the day, but too sedate. Striking dream sequence. Body count: 2. ★★½

6. The Devil’s Rain. USA, 1975. Satanism is basically the same as Christianity, only less scary. Body count: zzz... ★

7. The Manitou. USA, 1978. This has to be Tony Curtis’s most bizarre film. Still, way too much tell and not enough show. Body count: ? ★★
