The Machinist is not horror. I think that's stretching it quite a bit.

I'm in, never attempted anything like this before, I'm guessing I'll be somewhere around 30, with the Twins in the playoffs and weddings and everything else going on this month it'll be jam-packed.

lol, some people watched so many today! Doesn't anyone like football? I watched one movie after dinner and I'll probably watch another movie in an hour and a half.

We're definetly gonna have some competition this year if it keeps up!
My main goal is consistency. I want to at least watch one movie every day. I'll be ecstatic if I can manage 3 a day. I've got a vacation coming up at the end of the month so that'll be good for one last push.

I watched ALOT yesterday and plan to watch the same amount (if not more) today. I'm in college and have to write my thesis, so I'm trying to get in as many now before that goes into full swing. Besides, I have no school today =)

Those Universal legacy sets come in handy for those who work 40+ hours. You can easily cram in 3, 60 minute movies a day. I think the weekend is when I'll watch some longer films, ie The Shining...
The NFL is going to cut into my Sunday time too.

I'm not going to come close to 100, just because in addition to work I have other tv stuff I watch. Plus I generally prefer to watch horror at night for maximum effectiveness. Somehow watching a horror movie in my sunny apartment isn't the same.

To Cox Digital Cable users:
I saw a commercial today for the AMC Monsterfest X. After it they said that if you go to channel 1 and hit Freezone on the ON DEMAND section, you can find stuff from the AMC Monsterfest. I couldn't find it! This would be awesome to have horror on demand.

2. A Nightmare on Elm Street (Infinifilm): The new Inifinifilm version looks great. Should be a staple in every Horror library
3. Friday the 13th Part 4 (The Final Chapter): OK, so this was far from the Final chapter, but what would October be without Jason? This movie picks up where the underrated Part 3 ends. One of the better sequals after Part 2.
