Hell, I counted The Dark (2005) for that category even though the water is actually right there on the coast line. I figured key portions of the film rely on the characters and items being in the water, so that's good enough. |

Was lucky enough to find the DVD on clearance for $3 recently to replace my tape! |

Realized earlier I'd failed to post any reviews in my list thread post, so I've done the next best thing: I've gone through and copied and pasted my remarks from the discussion thread and my blog review of The Wolf Man - The Legacy Collection DVD release. Apparently, I watched a few movies without saying anything. Thoughts are forthcoming; it's not been a pleasant day to have Crohn's so far and makes concentrating rather challenging.
In other news, I see there's a slasher movie premiering on MTV tonight at 11:00 called Savage County. I only know this because the soundtrack features an up-and-coming group called Those Darlins and they tweeted that their song "Wild One" is in the movie. If nothing else, it'll ensure that I check off the "2010" category...so long as today's baseball games are finished by then. |

Jaws is to the "on or under the sea" category what Frankenstein is to the "Frankenstein" category. rotfl
True maybe, but I feel guilty counting it and always watch something else to be safe. Same with the space category and films that take place on planets and not actually "space".

Friday, October 15th might be a good day: Night of the Creeps 31 Films selection. :)

Spoiler:
Zaat! How can you hate on a movie that starts with a 20-minute insane monologue, and where the monster plots out all his evil plans in crayon on a giant wheel? If you're a stickler for quality, there are still good movies not listed. Ray Harryhausen's "It Came From Beneath the Sea". I thought the 2001 "She-Creature" was good - I thought it had a Lovecraftian vibe. |

I was doing pretty well today, until I ran into the biggest speed bump of the last three challenges: Teenage Zombies, 1959. Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad. No redeeming value at all. Just bad.

Here's a question for all:
How do you a count a film date-wise: a) As the time you begin the film (ie: 1130PM on the 5th) or b) As the time the film ends (ie: 1AM on the 6th) I have been counting it as the date I start the film on. |

Thanks to everybody who suggested House of the Devil. Great flick!

Go to the "Roku Users" banner on the first page of this thread. There's a list of channels with a code. Copy that code for the channel you want, then click on the "Here" link below that list to add the channel. When you go to the link to add the channel, it explains to refresh your Roku channel listing by going "Home" and then back to the channels. It says it takes about 24 hours, but mine took maybe 2 minutes to be added.
It really is pretty easy. |

A couple of category questions:
What is Giallo - anyone? I know it means yellow..... What is J horror - I'm pretty sure I know this one: any Japanese film (Ringu, Dead Water, Stacy, etc.) Also, I didn't see it listed as such on allmovie.com but I thought Sweeney Todd would have qualified as horror (musical). Could (would) that count as a "wild card" entry? |

And Sweeney Todd is horror, no need to use a wildcard. |

Sometimes IMDB misses the mark. Scary Movie 4, for example, which I have on tap for tonight is ONLY listed as a comedy when certainly it's a HORROR-COMEDY.

Thank you Trevor, Dick, and 'Skewbian. Just making sure I didn't have to eat Jello while watching some movie...(c;
NOTE TO SELF: go retrieve Sweeney....... EDIT: Thumbs up to 'Skewbian for the "Dead Snow" recommendation; enjoyed it. Too bad there's not more discussion in the thread about it. |
