October Horror Challenge 2018 #78: "Gnome Alone"



I needed something good to wash that last piece of crap out of my head,  so I picked another kids' Halloween movie. This one is about a teenage girl who moves with her mom into a new house and soon discovers that the house is a portal that brings monsters into the world, and she has to team up with some living lawn gnomes in order to fight them.

Lawn gnomes are creepy little things, even when they don't come to life and talk, so these ones are creepy, but they're also sarcastic and hilarious. The next door neighbor boy who befriends the teenage girl and helps her fight the monsters is a lot of fun, too. He's a big nerd, but he's really smart, and he's a much better friend than the mean girls at school who the new girl tries to befriend. Bullies suck. Overall, this movie is a lot of fun. Creepy monsters that devour everything in their path, and witty, sarcastic heroes who try to stop the monsters. Sign me up.
