I agree that is how I would expect a zombie apocalypse to go down, but why not make a movie about a typical boring day in the life. You would include making breakfast, the 3 hour meeting, and trying to fall asleep at night. If you scored it with a hipster soundtrack, it would be hailed as groundbreaking no doubt.

I took some time off last week and I was able to achieve my goal of 100 with Drag Me to Hell last night. I have a few more first time viewings along with completing theme nights this week but I'm pretty much coasting on fumes now.

The Man with the Golden Doujinshi

youtube can be your friend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvMRzhmblJg

I have a bunch of horror and sci-fi VHS tapes from that era that I was slowly digitizing. Then I found out nearly all of them have already been uploaded to youtube, so I just watch those if I ever really want to see any of them.

The Man with the Golden Doujinshi

After finishing a super long trailer comp DVD, I've just been watching horror tv. I just don't have any horror movies I want to get into.

I did buy Carrie and saw but passed, on the great price of horror 4 pack blurays that costco had. In most of the sets, I already owned the stuff I wanted and whatever was left over wasn't anything I cared about.

I'm taking a couple days off myself now. Might not make 100, but oh well.

Thank you Chad, and Diabolikdvd.

Wait... didn't this say "movies" *not* "actors" when I first saw it? I know I thought it odd how a "film" and "movie" would be somehow "different" things...

Anyway... I chose:
Boris Karloff
Vincent Price
Bela Lugosi

There was a time when I'd have never included Price as I thought he was "over exposed" and did nothing but "camp" type horror. Yes - that was when I was *much* younger and he was seemingly *everywhere* (60s). It was years later before I understood and appreciated his craft, talent, and appearances.

I'd have selected Peter Cushing or Christopher Lee but those 3 are the favorites of my youth. Even so, only Lugosi would move down and I can't say for sure which would take his place. It was also difficult not putting Lon Chaney Jr. on the list (or Peter Lorre, John Carradine, Michael Gough, and others).

Am I the only one still not used to Chad's new avatar?

BobO'Link

No. It's pretty gruesome...

Where did yours go?

Dammit! I shoulda picked Tom Atkins!

The Man with the Golden Doujinshi

I'm in the middle of changing it. I haven't found something better than a pile of golden poop yet.

My three favorite horror actors:

Peter Cushing - Hammer's films rarely worked without his wonderful contributions.

Max von Sydow - I consider his small but pivotal perfomance in The Exorcist as Father Merrin one of the finest in movie history, much less horror. The Exorcist doesn't become a cultural phenomenon without him.

Tobin Bell - I like the bulk of the Saw franchise, mostly as a result of Bell's turn as Jigsaw.

I'm also a bit distressed by the new avatar! Some people are so active that their avatar becomes part of the forum. Every time they change, a little part of my brain gets confused.

I watched Resident Evil: Apocalypse, and like several other people, I enjoyed it more than the first. The ragtag team concept worked much better, and there was a definite increase in the quality of the sets and CGI.

You need to use this:

I don't think I'll count them, as I don't think legends of real monsters is horror, but I'm probably going to watch a lot of Beastly Week on Animal Planet this week. Shows like Monsters Behind the Iron Curtain, Monsters and Mysteries in America, etc. Though Monsters Behind the Iron Curtain did talk about the Strigoi, the legends behind vampires.

Dick Laurent

Good one! Although I feel weird seeing her in nude scenes. Not exactly that cute little clown anymore.

For today's theme I watched Grim Prairie Tales: Hit the Trail... to Terror on YouTube. If you would have told me before today that there's a western horror anthology with Brad Dourif and James Earl Jones sitting around a campfire telling stories, I'd have said you're out of your mind. But then... I witnessed it. Not sure what else to say about that.

Works for me

Body bags, as a first time viewing, was a blast. Fun stuff.

Night Train to Terror seemed iffy, trimming three low budget movies down into segments for an anthology, but worked nicely.

Annabelle was better than I expected - hopefully we see more Conjuring stuff. Apparently Annabelle is based on the "true story" of an actual doll.


...so was Dracula Untold, flawed but they someho made a fair movie out of the horrible idea of a Dracula prequel. Some of the later Resident Evil movies explain this retroactively in a subtle way starting as soon as the beginning of the next film, Resident Evil: Apocalypse (which I consider the worst of the series) then Resident Evil: Retribution exists only to examine this occurrence.

I finally have some time off this week and don't plan on using it cramming in tons of movies. I've been rocking a headache the past two days that started right around the time I watched Cathy's Curse and could use a change of pace. Of course that vile temptress UPS would put the Night Breed set on my front porch today of all days.

Don't think I've read a single positive review. That said, and while I probably won't revisit them, I did surprisingly enjoy a couple - Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones ( did NOT expect that) and Affliction. The Taking of Deborah Logan and The Sacrament were decent, but pretty meh overall.

It sure did. One of several revisions I snuck in before the 5 minute editing window expired.

Proceed with extreme caution, my friend! Objects in banner aren't always indicative of their coolness factor.

To pile on the hate for VHS Viral - Absolutely atrocious garbage. I have not one single good thing to say about it.
