Whether you’re trying to avoid the releases this week or augment them with even more movies, Your Alternate Box Office offers some options for movies that would play perfectly alongside of (or instead of) the stuff studios are shoving into the megaplex this weekend. This week features a flightless bird, a bunch of teenagers getting stabbed to death while talking about getting stabbed to death in movies that feature people getting stabbed to death, and Lincoln getting stabbed to death by a bullet.

Every day, come rain or shine or internet tubes breaking, Film School Rejects showcases a trailer from the past. One of the best horror films of all time focuses on the killer instead of the audience. Fortunately, the killer is the audience. He’s got a camera, and he’s ready to use it. He’s also got a phallic symbol with a sharp pointy tip to watch you scream as he stabs you to death and records your end. The year was 1960, and it was part of the change in cinema (and the self-referential tone that many movies would later adopt). Go out and see it right now, but watch the trailer first. Think you know what it is? Check the trailer out for yourself:

Every Sunday in October, Old Ass Movies will be teaming with 31 Days of Horror in order to deliver a horror film that was made before you were born and tell you why you should like this. This week, Old Ass Horror presents the story of a man with a camera and a need to film something unusual: the screams and tortured maw of a woman’s face as she’s stabbed to death. Unfortunately, the police just can’t leave him alone to create his masterpiece.

1960 changed horror filmmaking forever. Don’t believe me? Read on.
