Kind of a little upset... I hit 100 for the first time, and I am so close to the 124 I set as my ultimate goal. My mother just bought a new house, so I need to help her move. Plus move myself, and now I have a halloween party. I don't know if I am gonna do it or not.

Settle down, DeNiro.

Just tied my previous personal best of 170. When I started this up, I honestly didn't think I'd come even close.

I'm the exact same way with Jaws. I've given it chances, just isn't for me. Though, The Thing and Psycho I've always loved.

The Monkees

I've seen it a couple of times just never really cared for it. I feel it is very slow moving and boring.

To be honest I don't really care for John Carpenter's work very much. The only ones I really like are Halloween and Escape from New York. I enjoy The Fog too, but it's nothing special.

I wouldn't skip a Halloween Party with friends to sit at home and watch movies. I won't be able to watch anything on the 31st because I'll be going to a big party with my girlfriend and a handful of our friends. Socialize!!

It's nice to finally meet one!

I have been slammed with work the last couple days, and probably will be for the rest of the month. I'll still get in at least a couple a day, but I was hoping to end on some marathon days. Oh well, I guess making movies is as fun as watching them.

cwileyy

I'm doing absolutely terrible.
Right now I'm at 20, and am pretty sure I won't hit my goal of 31.
Hopefully I can hit 25.

I totally agree. I'm doing this for the joy of it and as an excuse to watch a few extra movies. I think this is a fantastic event and I'm glad to be a part of it in a small way. I am certainly envious of those lucky enough to have the time and are enjoying themselves watching a ton of horror flicks, but I feel bad for the few that may be making themselves miserable just for the sake of reaching a number. if you can't have fun doing this, then what's the point?

Speaking of numbers, I think it would be cool if there was a PDF certificate created and sent to those that make it to 100. Sort of a small nod to a job well done. (Actually, shirts would be even cooler, but I'm sure impossible at this point of time or budget!)

Rough night last night. Already mentioned the incorrect order being sent to me, but there was a lot of rain in my area yesterday. Right in the middle of a Rifftrax, the power flickers on and off. I get the Rifftrax synched again, and the power flickers again. Finally, I'm able to finish the Rifftrax movie, which took considerably longer than it should have, and I start watching Prince of Darkness. When things started getting really good, the power goes out for about an hour. I was still able to get 2 movies in yesterday but was hoping for one more.

As for Halloween, I probably have to go do a couple hours of work that day, but otherwise, I plan on staying home and having a marathon viewing session. I certainly won't be making myself miserable to reach a number. I'd much rather be enjoying a night of horror movies on my couch than go to a party. I much prefer small groups to big parties anyway.

Got to the first film I could not finish... 1990's DEMON COP. Ugh. I included it in the video review but am not counting it.

The Man with the Golden Doujinshi

No backup plan? No laptops with charged batteries? No portable music player that also plays videos, like Zune or iPod? No emergency plan that involves a friend's house that has power you can drive to?

SethDLH

Thanks Dave! The last few days of very minimal viewing due to various things going on have recharged my batteries a bit so hopefully I make it.

ViewAskewbian

Just watched the original Step Father. Great flick but one thing I didn't seem to catch was how the



Also, the end nudity in that flick was unexpected.

terrycloth

had a horrific night and am amazed i can sit thru 2 hr movies like halloween and the last house on the left, but when i took a break on horror movies i fell asleep 4 times to transformers 2.

however i have thurs, fri, sat, sun off for a race to the finish.

SethDLH

Currently watching Return Of The Living Dead 2 w/ commentary. Love the movie, first time w/ commentary.

Well, I started a DVD on my laptop, but Prince of Darkness was on my DVR. So, there was no way for me to continue watching that movie without power. Of course, once I was about halfway through the DVD the power came back on. Then I had to decide which one to finish before bed. More than anything, I hated being taken out of a first-time viewing in the last 30 or so minutes of the movie, when things were really heating up. It killed the film's momentum.

The Rifftrax thing was the real pain. It was my first time trying one, and the times that were listed on the text document didn't really correspond with what my players were showing. It was very tricky matching them up! Well, I guess it's not so bad if you just start the movie and watch it all the way through, but trying to pick up from a point deep into the movie was challenging.

edwardnortonfan

I used to own that on VHS. I remember liking it. I'm watching ROTLD 4 and 5 for the first time today.

SethDLH

I used to rent it on VHS all the time. 4 and 5 aren't too bad imo, at least not as bad as they should have been.

OldBoy

saw this last night. surprisingly enjoyable. i can't believe the hate it got. the ending wasn't so bad, maybe a little predictable, but effective for me. liked it better than II-IV...

The Man with the Golden Doujinshi

There's a rifftrax player that's supposed to sync things up. I've heard it's hit or miss.

I usually just cheat and make a DVD out of the movie and the rifftrax. It usually ends up being a weekend project but it's nice when the thing finally finishes without any errors. Still a pain in the ass to make.

edwardnortonfan

I agree (I mean, I loved part 3, but I understand how it tore down everything they tried to set up with part 2) but I liked part 5 a lot and didn't understand why everyone was so pissy about it. I HATED part 4. HATED it. I was so angry I wanted to throw the filmmakers into one of Jigsaw's traps after I saw the movie.

edwardnortonfan

I thought they were going to be terrible too, but they're ok. I really like part 5 even more than part 4. It's got this fun spirit that reminds me of the original. My brother and I used to watch the original ROTLD whenever my mom was out of the house and we could find it on TV.

SethDLH

Agreed about 5. 4 seems more like a SyFy original (which it may be) that takes itself wayyyy too seriously. Rave To The Grave brings back some of the campyness

I noticed a download link for the Rifftrax player but decided to try it on my own this first time. That's a good idea about making your own DVD.

I was *trying* to watch by playing the mp3 file and DVD both from my computer, which is hooked up to my TV and receiver. Then I started wondering what I would do for a Blu-ray, since I don't have a Blu-ray drive on my computer. Would you play the Rifftrax through your TV speakers and the movie through the external ones?
