Hey all, acquisitions are a go! We've been snatching up fun stuff at a rapid rate, and we've got the disk space to keep growing for quite a while. I really do mean it when I say that I love to get suggestions and requests. My setup for acquisitions is secure, fast, and we've got plenty of disk space. The only hurdle I ever face regularly is knowing what to even get. So please do keep them coming! The amount of time it takes me to manually set up the download and load into Plex is trivial. I may even make a (private) video showing my configuration and the tools that I use to get new stuff. If you ever stop by the house, I love to give tours.
With Halloween right around the corner, we've got a few new great entries to the Horror section of the Grown-Up movies library, as well as some great stuff in general:
Don't Breathe (2016) - A group of teens break into a blind man's home thinking they'll get away with the perfect crime. They're wrong.
Chris' Note: I haven't seen this yet, but with a great cast and awesome reviews, Don't Breathe seems to be a rare gem in a genre that's lacking so badly lately.

1408 (2007) - A man who specializes in debunking paranormal occurrences checks into the fabled room 1408 in the Dolphin Hotel. Soon after settling in, he confronts genuine terror.
Chris' Note: While not at the same level as the classic 'The Shining', 1408 has the same chilling feel of a haunted place with an agenda. Very creepy indeed.
Let the Right One In (2008) - Set in 1982 in the suburb of Blackeberg, Stockholm, twelve-year-old Oskar is a lonely outsider, bullied at school by his classmates; at home, Oskar dreams of revenge against a trio of bullies. He befriends his twelve-year-old, next-door neighbor Eli, who only appears at night in the snow-covered playground outside their building.
Prince of Darkness (1987) - A research team finds a mysterious cylinder in a deserted church. If opened, it could mean the end of the world.
Chris' Note: My favorite horror movie of all time. With John Carpenter's classic synth soundtrack, a clever plot, and a spine-tingling ending this is a true classic that I consider underrated.
On second thought, I'm not linking the trailer. It gives away the whole damned movie.
What we do in the shadows (2014) - Flatmates Viago, Deacon, and Vladislav are three vampires who are just trying to get by in modern society; from paying rent and sticking to the housework roster to trying to get invited in to nightclubs, they're just like anyone else - except they're immortal and must feast on human blood. When their 8000 year-old flatmate Petyr turns 20-something human hipster Nick into a vampire the guys must teach him the ropes and guide him through his new found eternal life. And in return they are forced to learn a thing or two about modern society, fashions, technology, and the internet. But it's the introduction of Nick's human friend, Stu, that really changes the vampire's lives and attitudes towards the ever-changing world around them.
Chris' Note: Hilarious... its "This is Spinal Tap" meets "Interview with the Vampire".
For the Kids:
It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966) - This classic "Peanuts" tale focuses on the thumb-sucking, blanket-holding Linus, and his touching faith in the "Great Pumpkin." When Linus discovers that no one else believes in the creature, he sets out to prove that the Pumpkin's no myth—by spending the night alone in a pumpkin patch.
Chris' Note: Raise 'em right, people. I got a rock :(
Finding Dory (2016): - "Finding Dory" reunites Dory with friends Nemo and Marlin on a search for answers about her past. What can she remember? Who are her parents? And where did she learn to speak Whale?
Chris' Note: The horror..... the horror.
