Someone mentioned Laid to Rest in the earlier thread. I thought it sounded familiar, and it turns out I recorded that movie on Saturday. It was on The Movie Channel. Haven't watched it yet, though. Sounds like it's worth a watch, though.

I'm thinking He Knows You're Alone is the '80s equivalent of the Prom Night remake. It held my interest, but I honestly don't recall there being one drop of blood. And if it weren't for a couple of boobs, it probably would've scored a PG-13 rating.
And how the hell did they manage to avoid a lawsuit from Carpenter? That was a direct rip-off of the Halloween score.

I'm quoting some dialogue from the Wal-Mart bargains thread. The DVD in question is only $5 at WM. I just watched Baby Blues and just before adding it to my list, realized it's part of the 31 Day/Film subset to be discussed this weekend. Just a coincidence for me, but if anyone else hasn't gotten their hands on it and wants to participate in the discussion thread, it can be had pretty cheap.
Because the one I picked for the subset is the one starring Colleen Porch.

Here's a couple for you,
Humanoids from the Deep- I may view this tomorrow, myself.
Witchfinder General
I had a bad day for movie watching. Only 1 early this morning. College, Baseball playoffs, and NHL Hockey did me in today. Going to shoot for 3, possibly 4 movies tomorrow. That'll make me at the 20 mark for the week which is amazing for me so far.

Humanoids From The Deep is the way an exploitation movie should be made.
One of my all time favorites. With the late great Vic Morrow too!

I like "He Know's" and it is pretty bloodless. I'll be watching it soon. Of course It's really known for being Tom Hanks first movie. I remember Letterman years ago embarrassing him with a clip from it.
There was so much of that electronic music in those movies then It could have slipped under the radar. Nowadays everyone is suing everyone. Just a different time.
There were so many slashers coming out It would be easy to miss. Several a week it seemed at the Drive-Ins after Friday The 13th. What a great time...............

Also I think it was LickTheABC's who mentioned it in his review, I think we never see Bobbi Sue Luther nude, is because she's married to the director Robert Hall. I remember hearing they were married at the Laid To Rest panel at Fangoria 2009 in Los Angeles.
I'm doing well after the first week. 25 watched, which is actually one behind last year. It still puts me on a good pace for my 101 goal though.
What's everyone doing for the final night? I've got a couple set aside for sure, Halloween and Rocky Horror (it's a personal tradition). Beyond that I can't decide what to do. Do I go with first time viewings, classics, whatever I have leftover at the end of the month? I probably shouldn't even be worrying about it this early but I am.

wow! just watched 'The Children' while the first twenty minutes were a sort of a slow build up, the rest of the film was wild - the quick moments of violence /gore though were quite intense and appropriately jarring.

Oh wow. Halloween Resurrection was atrocious. I think if they cut all of Busta Rhymes scenes it might have been bearable. On second thought, no, the story was a big pile of steaming poo. Why didn't they stop at H20?
Speaking of H20. I didn't realize until I watched it last night that it is H-Twenty not H-Two-O. I was wondering how they were going to incorporate water into the story.

Humanoids from the Deep is one of my guilty pleasure movies. Possibly because I saw it as a kid and it was one of the first times I saw boobies.

And funny, while in my mind I'm thinking Halloween 20th Anniversary sequel whenever I think of the film or see the title, I always pronounce it H-2-0 in my mind.

Watched Don't Look Now for the first time last night. I was told it's a slow-burn type of film, which I'm normally ok with, but it felt like there was little happening to keep it interesting and the final twist was kinda "WTF?"

Any recommendations for the decade subsets 1890, 1900, and 1910? There seems to be a lot out there for 1920 on, but I'm having a hard time finding films that fit here that are academy length... or are shorter films allowed for these decades?

Theres a short (2 min) from 1896 called House Of The Devil that I've been trying to find to use as a wild card but have had no luck. Its considered one of, if not the first horror film.

Most of us have been using the same ones, here are my three with IMDB links.
07 - The Execution of Mary, Queen of Scots (1895)
08 - Le chaudron infernal (1903)
09 - Frankenstein (1910)
Edit to add: All easily found on youtube. Also, you're obviously not reading everyone's lists, or you would have seen these about 8 times.

Thank you for the recommendations. I'll check out Humanoids from the Deep & Witchfinder General.
I picked up:
Return of the Living Dead 3
The Children 2009
Grace
last night, and will watch them in the next couple of days. I still want to pick up Dead Snow & Trick R Treat.
Any other recommendations would be welcome!

There are very few academy length films of any type from those years, let alone horror. I don't think anyone here has found/used one longer than a short.
Most of us have been using the same ones, here are my three with IMDB links.
07 - The Execution of Mary, Queen of Scots (1895)
08 - Le chaudron infernal (1903)

the synopsis for THE CHILDREN seems like it might have a christmas theme...i haven't seen it yet so i'm not sure.
