It's October, so naturally I have the urge to do a topic like this. This is just a simple post and I'll rate it sort of deal, then you can post another, not nominations. I might write longer on certain things. Who knows!

Let's do this.

I dunno I think I'd rather see that mouth thing than a cute killer bunny with a bloody knife.

Yeah those are awesome!

With the techno-god story it was perhaps a little predictable but it was still really compelling to me and the best part was definitely inventor guy explaining his "eye-phones" it was on the nose but that's what made it hilarious to me.

Nelson's Wrong Turn is fantastic, way better than any of the original ones.

This was the first VHS I felt where there was no obvious weak link. Every story was unique and compelling and tense in its own right. I think it's my favorite entry in the series yet the more I think about it. The way the first story was continued later on was perfection and I'd like to see that kind of thing more. It made this feel like you really just found some strange VHS you popped in from a thrift store with a bunch of weird, random, and disturbing shit on it, I think it definitely had the strongest vibes in the series too.

Have you watched them since they started doing the new yearly series? Because I too think the original trilogy is super spotty at best but I've loved the last three they've done so far. They're a huge step up in quality.

VHS 85 was awesome, probably just the most straight-forwardly goriest entry yet.

Oh I was a bit surprised there was no mention of HEARTFIRST, which is definitely my favorite song on the album! The chorus soars, so upbeat, so cute! Instrumentation just shimmers with anticipation and excitement too. What a perfect song about love at first sight.

I am SO absolutely thrilled and overjoyed you loved SUBJECT TO CHANGE as much as you did! I admit, when I nominated it, I was quite iffy on you enjoying the lyricism and was pretty sure it would come in around the midway point but then the rankings just kept dropping and dropping and it was going the distance!

I am pretty quite obsessed with this album, to be honest! Though it only came out a year ago, it's already my most played album ever according to what I use to track my listening (started it 5 years ago). It genuinely made this year suck a lot less for me. When things started feeling really shitty, KB's wit, heartfelt emotion, & being unapologetically herself (which you've all highlighted as well) came through for me with some really damn fun and catchy instrumentation too. Like, the drumming on this album especially is among the best I've heard on a country-pop album if you ask me. And yeah the little genre experimentations throughout, there's a good bit of rock-based songs here too, some trip-hop, folk, it really keeps you guessing on the first listen. It harkens back to what I love so much about Fearless / Speak Now era Taylor, where every song was just a little treat in its own right.

So yeah, I'm super happy I nominated it now and I also recommend the EP follow-up Rolling Up the Welcome Mat which is like a spirtual successor to DOIN' MY BEST and discusses her divorce more. It's really dark and melancholy compared to SUBJECT TO CHANGE though.

Excellent Tubicore line-up right there

That aside, Leviticus from this album is an insanely good song, holy shit.

Pretty surprised Link was eliminated, I'm not even a big LoZ fan and I always thought Link was one of the sickest guest characters ever.

One of King's best characters easily

So did I, I actually had a small modicum of hype for this movie but yeah this pretty much killed that for me.

I think this is just a port of the HD version that came out in 2019 on Xbox One and PS4.

Oh yeah I think you're right actually.
