Re: The 7th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/31) ***The List Thread

* LIST IS FINAL (still updating format) *



HISTORY/GOAL:
Spoiler:


Previous year's lists:

2010 = 127 Watched/108 FTV/First Line Quoted
2009 = 100 Watched/87 FTV/Random Line Quoted
2008 = 74 Watched/57 FTV/Random Line Quoted


This year’s goals:

-X- Watch as many as I can (no number goal this year)
-X- Watch at least one film for each Theme Day, on specified day
-X!- Have fun




Total Watched = 68

All films USA unless noted otherwise
Shorts 1 Min or less counted as 1 Min
* = First Time Viewing
WC# = Wild Cards 1-3
"Quotes" = LAST line/words spoken (or prominent scream)


October: 1
1. La mano de un hombre muerto AKA The Sadistic Baron Von Klaus (DVD – 1962 – 95 Min – B&W – Spain) IMDb - Theme
"Get him in the car."
What’s more fitting for the cult movie theme than a piece from one of the masters of the horror-cult cinema himself, Jess Franco. This is one of his earliest works, and his talent as a filmmaker was quite pronounced here. Thankfully for me and I’m sure many Franco fans, this proper talent for the camera did not last long, and his favoring of crazy zooms and lingering, way-too-long shots would prove to be his trademark bread and butter. Good ‘ole Franc.

October: 2
2. The ‘Burbs (DVD – 1989 – 101 Min – Color – USA) IMDb
"God I love this street."
I absolutely love this movie. This fun work, that of course features a young Tom Hanks, also features two of my favorite movie themes: Horror and suburbia (with a side of cheese). I watch this movie every challenge, so not much to add except that it’s always a lot of fun, each subsequent viewing. This ‘burb is one of the best on film, and I’d love to live there (minus the neighbor). Hollywood housing is always so appealing to me.
3. The Crazies (DVD – 1973 – 103 Min – Color – USA) IMDb - Theme
"Are you kidding me, soldier?"
One thing I love about this film is that it gets going right away. No waiting around, you’re just thrown right into it. I find that it’s even more terrifying when things are moving without the viewer, and then you show up, and the immediate challenge is to figure out what the heck is going on. And of course there’s the infamous white suits and gas masks. I also love the explanation to get actors out of their masks. Just put some lights up around the doors! Oh, and Lane Carroll as Judy…
4. The Last Man on Earth (DVD – 1964 – 86 Min – B&W – USA) IMDb - Theme *
"All safe."
Two things immediately come to mind while watching this: 1) Vincent Price needs a dog (for a much longer amount of time) 2) Old Vince does a great job trimming hedges and mowing grass for the mass amounts of abandoned land. But the movie is very effective and though you can poke fun at it today, it would have been very effective for the time. Very well done. Except for the “blind” kid. Most horrendous child acting I’ve ever witnessed. And no free pass for it being a kid. This was just terrible.

October: 3
5. El ataque de los pájaros AKA Beaks: The Movie (YouTube/Roku – 1987 – 90 Min – Color – Spain) IMDb - Theme *
"A plan to choose who will survive."
Ummm, yeah, well, this was worth at least one watch. One has to really witness the insane, slow-motion bird attack sequences, at least once. Not much here to really comment on. There was some nice, soapy nakedness, and the slow-mo birds. I already forgot the rest.

October: 4
6. Shock AKA Beyond the Door II (YouTube/Roku – 1977 – 95 Min – Color – Italy) IMDb - Theme *
"Now what game shall we play?"
Mario Bava is kind of hit or miss, and this one didn’t work 100% for me, but it was a good watch none-the-less. More than anything else the pacing was off and the plot had some strides to make to get to the conclusion. It felt more like a 20 minute idea stretched into an hour and a half. But still, creepy and Bava, and worth a look.

October: 5
7. The Horde (YouTube/Roku – 2009 – 90 Min – Color – France) IMDb - Theme - 31 Films Subset *
"Je vais vous montrer hardcore!"
I really enjoyed the deliberate slowness and quite in the opening scenes of this film. Really made me pay extra close attention and had no idea why. This is one of those fast-paced thrills, with faster paced zombies that erupts into nearly non-stop destruction. Had a good vibe to it, but not one I’d watch again anytime soon.

October: 6
8. Sometimes They Come Back (Netflix/DroidX – 1991 – 97 Min – Color) IMDb *
"Coins that belonged to my big brother."
I have always been a big fan of Stephen King’s storytelling, and this film did a great job of capturing his sense of fiction. I loved the characters and the idea of the film. It was week in the beginning, and this guy was pretty whiney at times, but once it got going it moved at a pretty good pace. I love the scene where the “car” is chasing the kid on the bike.
9. Dead and Burried (Netflix/Roku – 1981 – 94 Min – Color) IMDb - Theme *
"…Come, Dan, let me fix those for you."
Great little film. It has a kind of lame intro that steamrolls to rewarding fairly quickly. Not sure what the cover has to do with the film, but both are aptly entertaining.

October: 7
10. The Haunting of Molly Hartley (DVD – 2008 – 82 Min – Color) IMDb *
"See you soon."
This was a pleasant surprise. Not sure why there are so many negative reviews for this, I had a lot of fun with it. We have some lovely girls, a great (but simple) plot, and likeable characters. And not a straight-forward kids movie either. It pretty much involves something that “happens” to certain kids when they turn 18. Sure, some of the details are easy and maybe a bit childish, but I lost myself here for an hour and a half, and what more could I ask for? (cute girls in private school uniforms, yep, plenty of that here too!)
11. Urban Legend (DVD – 1998 – 99 Min – Color) IMDb *
"This is how the story really goes…"
Hated it. Really.
12. Piranha (HDTV/Showtime – 2010 – 88 Min – Color) IMDb *
"So, where are the parents?"
For a remake, sequel, reimagining, whatever it’s called, this one does it very well. There’s tons of gore, lots of nastiness, and plenty of T&A. I think we know how the story goes, and I enjoyed it, not really knowing what the payoff would be. My biggest complaint is with the (inevitable) warnings, police, “panic,” etc, there was really no sense of urgency. The underwater dancing was just, well, an amazing bit of filming. Amazing.
13. The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll (DVD – 1960 – 88 Min – Color – UK) IMDb - Theme *
"…it is my duty to arrest you on a charge of willful murder."
Decent movie, but seriously lacking in the horror department, or at least for my watching needs. But this film kind of presents my biggest problem with Hammer, and that’s the beauty and macabre of sets and tone, versus a sometimes dull, self-absorbed awareness. But ultimately enjoyable, this one is heavier on the romance aspect, but still delivers.
14. --And Now the Screaming Starts! (DVD – 1973 – 91 Min – Color – UK) IMDb - Theme *
"Unto the third and fourth generation. "
One of the highlights of last year’s Challenge for me was discovering Amicus films. I had never really watched, or at least paid attention before and I’m so glad it’s on my radar now. But with that being said, I was a little bit disappointed with this film. The main culprit for my displeasure is that the difference that sets Amicus apart from Hammer is that Amicus is known as the lower-budget horror company, and that means that most films are set during the present, as opposed to the more expensive gothic, classic horror. This film feels like a low-budget Hammer, straight up, instead of being its own production. Still a great watch, though. The hand effects were surprisingly effective.

October: 8
15. Resident Evil (BD – 2002 – 100 Min – Color) IMDb - Theme
"Let me out!"
Always a fun watch. Feels just like the game.
16. Resident Evil: Apocalypse (BD – 2004 – 94 Min – Color) IMDb - Theme
"What did they do to you?"
Cool to see Jill. I love the way Milla crashes into the church. Total video game cheese-fest.

October: 9
17. Resident Evil: Extinction (BD – 2007 – 95 Min – Color) IMDb
"I’m going to be bringing a few of my friends."
This is actually one of my favorites of the series. I like the desolation, end of the world vibe through the beginning. The convoy is a great character in itself, I could have watched a couple hours just following them around. Milla at the pinnacle of her powers, lots of fun.
18. Resident Evil: Afterlife (BD – 2010 – 97 Min – Color) IMDb
"You are going to be in for the fight of your lives."
Multiple Millas! What more could you ask for? This one was pure fun. I’m still a fan.
19. Resident Evil: Degeneration (BD – 2008 – 97 Min – Animated) IMDb
"’till next time."
This is one of those heavy (or all) CG animations that seems so rendered that the viewer is just detached from the story. I like the idea, and it was great to see something else going on in the world that doesn’t center around Milla and company. I enjoyed it on a whole, but this felt long and cold. Great use of animated scenery.
20. Yogen AKA Premonition (Netflix/Roku – 2004 – 95 Min – Color – Japan) IMDb - Theme - 31 Films Subset *
"ダーリン!"
Not sure if there’s such a thing as a “gentle” horror film, but if there is, this one would really fit that bill. A little slow moving and difficult to get into at times, but I really enjoyed this as a whole. I also appreciated that the whole slimy, wet, long-haired Japanese girl-contortionists were spared here. The unsettling scare effects that were used were terrific, but not overwhelming. I look forward to watching it again, as the ending—though not really a twist, does beg for a second viewing. In November, of course.

October: 10
21. Hexen bis aufs Blut gequält AKA Mark of the Devil (DVD – 1970 – 96 Min – Color – West Germany) IMDb - Theme *
"(sobbing)"
Spoiler:

I love the warning/announcement in the beginning. Great torture scenes, and although this does go a bit deep into the gore, the idea and expectation of what’s going to happen still holds up stringer for the horror effect. I can’t imagine stuff like this actually happening in our lifetime.
And don’t forget your free Vomit Bag!
Spoiler:

22. Non si sevizia un paperino AKA Don’t Torture a Duckling (Netflix/Roku – 1972 – 102 Min – Color – Italy) IMDb - Theme *
"In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit."
Great, classic Fulci, which of course means some fun effects and slow, gruesome deaths, but also a lot of nonsense storytelling using sub-par actors. I have to admit watching kids die this way was quite a bit unsettling. But if you know Fulci, and you’re prepared, then this is a great little piece. I was left guessing until the final reveal as to whom the killer really was, and the pay-off was quite nice.

October: 11
23. Dog Soldiers (DVD – 2002 – 105 Min – Color – UK) IMDb - Theme - 31 Films Subset *
"It is now."
Fun, Aliens style action movie. Great sci-fi kind of feel. My biggest complaint is I didn’t really connect with any of the characters, but it was fun.

October: 12
24. Maximum Overdrive (DVD – 1986 – 97 Min – Color) IMDb - Theme
"I’m gonna lose my cookies."
Killer trucks, Emilio Estevez, and AC/DC… what more could you ask for? Pure horror gold! I can’t believe my wife hadn’t seen this before. She loved it as much as me, and I loved watching it for the 20th or so time.

October: 13
25. Trolljegeren AKA Trollhunter (Netflix/Roku – 2010 – 103 Min – Color – Norway) IMDb - Theme - 31 Films Subset *
". . ."
Found footage is fun to watch, and this one had me attentive the whole time. The “stalking” style documenting in the first quarter of the film peeked my interest. Great little film.

October: 14
26. An American Haunting (DVD – 2005 – 83 Min – Color) IMDb - Theme *
"Richard!"
This was a mildly entertaining film, with some decent scares. I have to admit I didn’t get the central theme of the film at the end. I actually went and watched some of the alternate endings which explained the film’s intention a little better. Great idea, good effects, just seemed the filmmakers didn’t know how to end it. Worth a look.

October: 15
27. The Frighteners (HD DVD – 1996 – 123 Min – Color) IMDb - Theme *
"No!"
First time watching the director’s cut. I really enjoy this film. Lots of fun and laughs, and Michael J. Fox was in top form. Love it.
28. The Last Exorcism (Netflix/Roku – 2010 – 87 Min – Color) IMDb*
"Aaaargh…"
Decent watch, not as bad as most reviews make it out.

October: 16
29. Creepers Contamination .7 (Netflix/Roku – 1993 – 91 Min – Color – Italy) IMDb - Theme *
"Did you get your present?"
This film felt good to watch. Fun, light. Liked the Dr. Krueger with the red and black striped tie.
30. Phenomena (DVD – 1985 – 110 Min – Color – Italy) IMDb - Theme *
"(…monkey sounds…)"
Classic Argento, classic Connelly.

October: 17
31. Asylum (DVD – 1972 – 88 Min – Color – UK) IMDb - Theme *
"As Doctor Star used to say…"
Effective, wonderful film. Drawings in the beginning were a little annoying though. Great imagery.

October: 18
32. Fright House Secrets Revealed (HDTV/Diy – 2011 – 60 Min – Color) *
WC #1
Watch some idiots build a haunted house in Thrillvania, TX. Kinda boring.
33. Child’s Play Seed of Chucky (DVD – 2004 – 87 Min – Color) IMDb - Theme *
"(…maniacal laughter…)"
Fun, creepy. Fango, Britney, what more do you need?

October: 19
34. The Blood Splattered Bride (DVD – 1972 – 100 Min – Color – Italy) IMDb - Theme *
"Aaarrgh…"
Slow moving, effective giallo.

October: 20
35. Horror of Dracula (DVD – 1958 – 82 Min – Color – UK) IMDb - Theme *
"… Gasp! …"
Unlike a lot of Hammer films, this one is not so slow and drawn-out. I enjoyed the heck out of it!

October: 21
36. Dead-End Drive In (DVD – 1986 – 88 Min – Color) IMDb - Theme *
"Bloody!"
Great vibe, terrific sets. A lot of fun, even if it’s light on the actual horror element.
37. Hell Night (Netflix/Roku – 1981 – 101 Min – Color) *
"… Gasp …"
Surprisingly fun watch. With Linda Blair in top bidding I was worried that this would suck, but I enjoyed it immensely. Well worth the watch.
38. Blade II (DVD – 2002 – 117 Min – Color) *
"Aaaarrghh!"
Good stuff.
39. Chopped Halloween (HDTV/Food Network – 2011 – 60 Min – Color) *
WC #2
Scary Chopped. The only thing better than a cooking show is a scary cooking show.
40. TV (120 Min TOTAL for the day)
Spoiler:

(TV shows listed in the order they were watched)
Pretty Little Liars: The First Secret (HDTV/ABC Family) – 2011 – 60 Min – Color) *
Never watched this show before, probably won’t again, but good for a Halloween theme.
American Horror Story: Pilot (HDTV/FX) – 2011 – 60 Min – Color) *
Not sure what all the buzz is about. Not my thing.

Re: The 7th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/31) ***The List Thread


Mrs. Beebs and I are back for another delightfully scary year of horror movies. List will be simple this year and not super long. Goal is 60-70 movies.

Final Update: Did not make to the goal, unfortunately, but did make it well into the 50s. Watched a ton of other movies including two trips to the Drive-In this month (unfortunately no horror flicks). Probably because I've been watching more horror all year long thanks to the challenge. Mrs. Beebs and I did see over ten new movies including a number of excellent additions to the list.

Highlights of the year:
Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil - This was a fun and fresh take on the woodsy slasher and more entertaining than many of the horror comedies I've seen in the last couple of years.
Razorback - A great bit of creature feature from the 80s. What's not love about this one?
House of Devils - They got the faux late-70s/early-80s vibe down here. Too bad Tom Noonan is old in this one, it gives it away as being a current movie.
Human Centipede - Man, this is a creepiest movie I've seen in a real long time. Nearly turned it off a few times.
The Thing (2011) - Enjoyed this homage/rehash a lot, but mostly made me appreciate just how good Carpenter's was again.

New Movies/Shows in Bold
1. The Wolfman (2010)
2. Valentine (2001)
3. Idle Hands (1999)
4. Calling Dr. Death

Re: The 7th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/31) ***The List Thread

I only made 14 last year, and with my schedule this year, I'll be lucky to top that. That said, I have to join because it's my favorite genre, and my favorite time of the year!

Personal Goals:
  • 15 Entries (3/15)
  • None can be entries I watched during the 2010 Horror Challenge
  • Completed - At least 5 entries must be first-time viewings (5/5)
  • At least 3 entries must be in accordance with Theme Nights (2/3)
  • At least 1 entry must be in accordance with 31 Films Subset (date and movie) (0/1)
  • I will attempt to watch one complete horror series
  • I will include a 100-word-or-less mini-review of each entry
  • I will attempt to include IMDB links to each entry
  • Though I will include the Optional Checklist in my post, I do not intend to complete it, just as many as possible

Key:
☼ - First Time Viewing
BD - Blu-ray Disc
DVD
NIQ - Netflix Instant Queue
THR - In Theatres
OTH - Other


Entries:

October 1:
01. ☼Masters of Horror: Sick Girl -- DVD -- dir. Lucky McKee -- 2006 -- "TV-MA" -- 60 minutes --
Ida (Angela Bettis) loves bugs, and women. When a package from Brazil shows up on her doorstep containing an aggressive bug, her life takes a change for the worse. Misty Mundae - Ida's love interest - is absolutely beautiful in this over-the-top horror comedy with nice special effects. Bettis makes gigantic character choices, but they are consistent and work well to set the light tone of the piece. Fun, sexy, and humorous.
Watch the full episode here.
3 out of 4 stars


October 2:
02. ☼Masters of Horror: Jenifer -- DVD -- dir. Dario Argento -- 2005 -- "TV-MA" -- 58 minutes --
Deep Red this is not. Detective Frank Spivey (Steven Weber) happens upon a man trying to kill a woman. He shoots the man, and finds a strange connection with the deformed woman, which may prove detrimental to more than just his family life. Argento paints in broad strokes here, and comes up short of anything special. Fleshhounds will appreciate the incredible body of Jenifer (Carrie Fleming), and the gore is top notch. As always, Argento finds an excellent use of music. Otherwise, this is a mediocre tale with little fleshing out.
Watch the full episode here.
2 out of 4 stars


03. ☼Dawn of the Dead -- BD -- dir. George A. Romero -- 1978 -- "Unrated" -- 127 minutes --
No longer “Night”, the living dead have grown in force. A group of four survivors seek refuge from the horde in a shopping mall. There, they must clear the mall from the living dead, and decide whether it's best to run, or hunker down. This is a zombie classic. Romero's sense of humor and wit come together to tell a compelling story that is riddled with political undertones. The zombies are surprisingly effective as rotting corpses, and the gore works, even though it’s dated. Recommended for those former zombie fans that have grown tired of the creatures due to over-saturation.
3.5 out of 4 stars


October 3:
04. ☼Grizzly -- DVD -- dir. William Girdler -- 1976 -- "PG" -- 91 minutes --
A 15' tall grizzly stalks, murders, and eats campers in a state park. This is "Jawsplotation" mixed with a slasher film, all in the form of a giant grizzly bear. There's some fun to be had, and the film even uses some staple slasher film cliches (POV shots, scary story around a campfire). The use of a real-life grizzly - which would rarely happen nowadays - is an excellent touch, and adds a lot to the film, but the film starts to get too slow around the mid-point, and the ending is less than satisfying.
2 out of 4 stars


October 7:
05. Scream 3 -- BD -- dir. Wes Craven -- 2000 -- "R" -- 117 minutes --
Ghostface is back, and this time s/he has left Woodsboro for Hollywood. The main cast of characters returns (Sidney, Dewey, and Gail) for what is the concluding chapter of the original trilogy, and there is quite a bit of fun to be had here. As a Scream film, the lack of Kevin Williamson hurts it, but as a slasher flick, Scream 3 is pretty good. Undoubtedly the weakest in one of my personal favorite horror series, I would still recommend this film to any slasher or Scream fans with no hesitation.
2.5 out of 4 stars


October 8:
05. ☼Hatchet -- BD -- dir. Adam Green -- 2006 -- "Unrated" -- 84 minutes --
The deformed Victor Crowley is believed to haunt the swamplands of New Orleans. Some college kids - along with a softcore porn director, and an older couple - venture out to the swamplands on a haunted boat tour. They get more than they bargained for when Crowley shows up. Adam Green is one of the top horror directors working today, and Hatchet helps cement that title. It never takes itself too seriously, is filled with humor, and incredibly gruesome special effects. As an homage to the Friday the 13th series, Hatchet is disgusting, and recommended to any and all gorehounds.
3 out of 4 stars

Okay why not, I'll be doing another 31 Horror Movies in 31 Days video review series this year.

How this'll work: The most recent review will be displayed, while previous reviews are embedded under spoiler tags so this post doesn't get unruly.

You can find the 2008 series (most of which aren't that good) here: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_lis...D100F839711713
The 2009 series (which totally rocks) can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_lis...43227F90F7C4AD
And the pretty good 2010 series is here: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list...1&feature=plcp

Re: The 7th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/31) ***The List Thread

Hi all, I'm new to this challenge randomly found it doing a search & since I have fibromyalgia & am not in school or work currently I have plenty of downtime to see my favorite type of movies in my favorite month of the year.

Personal Goal: hoping to reach at least 50 horror movies total this month including seeing at least 10 new horror movies I haven't seen yet. Hope to also include some of the subsets, themes, and extended checklist as well.

Total Currently Watched: 73 1/2 (by entries)
First Time Viewed #: 46 1/2
Rewatched #: 27

Key:
☼ - First Time Viewing
NI= Netflix Instant
OL= Online
RT= Rental
TV= Television Viewing
DVD= DVD


OCTOBER 1ST-

1. NIThe Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari (1920)- 4/5 stars. This was my first forray into silent films, so it took time for me to get used to the format of it but thankfully the music made it a more enjoyable experience instead of just complete silence. I love the gothic color used in this too, unlike anything I've ever seen.

2. NINosferatu (1922)- 4/5 stars. I thought this had a creepy atmosphere and it was a very well done silent film, pleased to say I liked it but not sure about the future rewatch factor because its most impressive the first time viewing for these types of films.

3. TVThe Walking Dead (2010) Season 1, Episode 2 (Guts) (60 min.) + Season 1, Episode 3 (Tell It To The Frogs) (60 min.)- 5/5 stars. I love this show, definitely test the limits as far as tv shows go & we finally get some actual guts on tv.

4. NI The Evil Dead (1981)- 5/5 stars. I saw this before but it took two viewings for me to appreciate it for what it is and now I love it.


OCTOBER 2-


5. OL [Rec] (2007)- 3/5 Stars. I am late to the party seeing this for the first time after having seen the remake and I have to say I think this movie is a bit overrated because it didn't give the uneasy feeling I got from quarantine. When I first saw quarantine I didn't like it originally either because I'm picky with modern horror movies and I wasn't a fan of the shaky camera but it grew on me by the second viewing because after I got over my initial reaction to the shaky camera I found it to be effective in scares and one of the better epidemic type horror movies out there. It's possible that I found it scarier because it had more in your face infected people attacking and the effects looked better.

6. NI The Phantom Of The Opera (1925)- 3/5 Stars. This was a little harder for me to follow than the other silent films but I think it is a masterpiece for what it is.

7. NI Child's Play (1988)- 5/5 Stars. I can't believe I haven't seen this movie until now, I knew I would like it since it's so highly regarded in the horror movie world & I loved it. Best take on an evil doll I've ever seen.

8. NI Carnival Of Souls (1962)- 3/5 Stars. Not sure exactly how to explain my thoughts on this movie, it was enjoyable & unique but not something I'd probably be craving to watch again for a long time because it's good as a first time viewing mostly. I think it's great for the low budget they had though.

9. NI The Funhouse (1981)- 3/5 Stars. First off, want to say that I loved the nod to pyscho and halloween (1978) in the beginning. The main character amy reminds me of laurie strode. I randomly picked to watch this and it happens to be the second carnival type horror movie I've watched in a row today. I did like the random humorous characters in this movie too. However, as a whole I felt the film could have been better and it was pretty much one time movie for me.


OCTOBER 3-


10. NI Monkey Shines: An Experiment In Fear (1988)- 5/5 Stars. This movie was AWESOME. I've never seen an evil monkey in a movie and wow did this do a great job with that.

11. OL Alligator (1980)- 2/5 Stars. It has its moments and never seen a killer alligator used in a movie before which was new but it was a one time movie for me. It was cool to see familiar faces in the lead roles as well.

12. OL Noroi: The Curse (2005)- 3/5 Stars. I thought this was decent but not as scary as I expected it to be. It was also hard to keep up with since it jumped all over the place with different clips of docu-style filming. I probably shouldn't have had such high expectations when I was hearing great things about it being absolutely terrifying. Disappointed to say it will not be causing me any nightmares tonight.


OCTOBER 4-


13. TV Freaks (1932)- 5/5 Stars. Wow this movie was definitely new and different for me. An eye opening experience, it was hard to watch at times for the empath in me but it was so well done despite it being controversial.

14. OL I Spit On Your Grave AKA Day Of The Woman (1978)- 3/5 Stars. Wow this movie is a woman's worst nightmare and so intense. Not a neccessarily enjoyable film but well done for what it was trying to be. Very similar to Last House On The Left and can really happen so it makes it scarier. I don't agree with some of the revenge stuff despite the brutality the woman went through but it's only a movie so it can't be completely realistic but it succeeds in grabbing your attention.

15. OL I Spit On Your Grave: Unrated (2010)- 3/5 Stars. Omg this movie upped the gore in certain places and I seriously almost threw up at one scene you will know what I'm talking about if you see it, but it was the same quality as the first movie despite the really nasty parts. It is pretty similar to the original with only a few changes here & there and more modern.


OCTOBER 5-


16. OL Inside (2007) (French Horror)- 4/5 Stars. This movie was intense but I liked it despite it being gory, one of the better french horror films.

17. NI Inferno (1980)- 3/5 Stars. This semi sequel to suspiria didn't make a lick of sense and was all over the place but it has a dreamlike color use just like suspiria which I love and the death scenes were neat.


OCTOBER 6-


18. NIDead & Buried (1981)- 3/5 stars. It was decent but not something I love or would rewatch. It's ok for a first time viewing.

19. TVVampire Diaries (60 Min.) + The Secret Circle (60 Min.)- 5/5 Stars. Both these shows are addicting, the secret circle was intense tonight especially loved it.


OCTOBER 7-


20. NIThe Resident (2011)- 4/5 stars. This was an entertaining movie, not perfect but was a fun ride with my favorite actress Hilary Swank in the lead role. I had been planning to check this out so it works perfect that it happens to be a hammer film for today's theme.

21. DVD Poltergeist (1982)- 5/5 stars. Of course this is an instant classic it's been years since I've seen this and refreshed my love for it all over again.


OCTOBER 8-


22. NINightmares In Red, White, And Blue: The Evolution Of The American Horror Film (2009)- 5/5 stars. This horror documentary was so interesting to watch, I liked how they showed the evolution of horror films from the beginning until the present and explained the how it applies to that specific time period.

23. DVDPredator (1987)- 5/5 stars. This was an entertaining flick, I had actually seen all the AVP movies and predators (2010) before seeing any of the original predator movies and finally glad to say it was awesome.


OCTOBER 9-


24. NIThey Live (1988)- 4/5 stars. This was an entertaining flick with a unique concept.

25. NIPremonition (2004)- 5/5 stars. Watched this for today's asian horror theme and subset and it was really really good, loved it.

26. TVHarry Potter & The Deathly Hallows Part 1 (2010)- 5/5 Stars. This was really good, one of the best movies in the series, can't wait to see part 2 for more action and closure.

27. OLHellraiser (1987)- 4/5 stars. This was an entertaining movie, liked it better than I thought I would.


OCTOBER 10-


28. OL High Tension (2003) (French Horror)- 4/5 Stars. I would have given this 5 stars since this is my third time watching it and I still love almost the entire movie except the end wasn't satisfactory for me.

29. NIPoltergeist II: The Other Side (1986)- 5/5 stars. This is an entertaining sequel.


OCTOBER 11-


30. NI An American Werewolf In London (1981)- 5/5 stars. This movie gets better with each viewing, I'll always adore it.

31. OL An American Werewolf In Paris (1997)- 5/5 Stars. I love this as much as the london one, I know a lot of people will disagree but I never get tired of viewing it.


OCTOBER 12-


32. OL Silver Bullet (1985)- 5/5 Stars. My favorite werewolf movie of all time rewatched this today for a stephen king movie adaptation. Also don't watch if you are pregnant haha.


OCTOBER 13-


33. TV The Silence Of The Lambs (1991)- 5/5 Stars. Will always like this movie, it definitely deserved that academy award.

34. TVVampire Diaries (60 Min.) + The Secret Circle (60 Min.)- 5/5 Stars. Wow tonight's episodes rocked big time, good time of year for intense episodes .

35. NIThe Last Exorcism (2010)- 0/5 stars. Wow I hated this movie... I'm pretty patient when it comes to horror movies but the characters & situations looked way too fake to me and are annoying as hell.


OCTOBER 14-


36. TV The Sixth Sense (1999)- 5/5 Stars. Everytime I watch this movie I always discover more things I didn't notice before such as the color red being used throughout the movie to foreshadow things happening when you see the color red (don't want to spoil for those who haven't seen it yet by saying what exactly it represents) this movie is genius. My all time favorite supernatural type movie.

36 1/2. DVDFear Itself (In Sickness & Health Episode) (60 Min.)- 2/5 stars. This wasn't good, hopefully some of the others will be good since I bought the dvd package for the series.


OCTOBER 15-


37. DVD Ghostbusters (1984)- 5/5 stars. Who doesn't like this movie, it's been years since I've seen it & it still holds up as one of the best horror comedies out there.

38. TVNight Of The Living Dead (1968)- 5/5 Stars. This was a great classic zombie film.

39. NIRe-Animator (1985)- 4/5 stars. This is different than other horror movies I've seen before but I liked it a lot.


OCTOBER 16-


40. NIBoogeyman 2 (2007- 3/5 stars. Much better than the first which sucked big time. This was an interesting premise and the kills were unique but it's not the best storyline overall.

41. NIBlack Sabbath (1963)- 3/5 stars. This was a decent movie that had the use of color in it that influenced suspiria probably. I liked that there were three different tales and boris karloff introductions to each story are awesome.


OCTOBER 17-


42. NICreepshow (1982)- 3/5 stars. I put this as first time watch because I don't remember hardly anything from when I was really young and saw this it felt like a first time view. It doesn't hold up as well today for me but I do like the last 3 stories, the first two weren't my cup of tea.


OCTOBER 18-


43. TVHouse On Haunted Hill (1959)- 5/5 Stars. This movie was great for it's time, glad I finally saw it. It was a bit misleading in the story but it was neat with the twists at the same time.

44. TV Candyman (1992)- 5/5 Stars. I never get tired of this movie, it's so well done & creepy.


OCTOBER 19-


45. NISometimes They Come Back (1991)- 4/5 stars. This was a good tv movie, I've been curious about this for years & it satisfied me.

46. TV I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)- 5/5 Stars. Definitely a guilty pleasure of mine, slasher films are my favorite type of horror films & this is nostalgic for me.

47. DVD I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998)- 5/5 Stars. I actually like the setting and it has some cool death scenes. Jennifer Love Hewitt is one of my favorite actresses so I'm a bit biased but I enjoyed this movie as much as the first.


OCTOBER 20-


48. TVVampire Diaries (60 Min.) + The Secret Circle (60 Min.)- 5/5 Stars. Another great night of these shows.

49. NI From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)- 5/5 stars. Great movie, love it every time I watch it.


OCTOBER 21-


50. NINight Of The Comet (1984)- 4/5 stars. This movie screams the 80's and I love it!

51. NIParanormal Activity 2 (2010)- 5/5 stars. This movie was as enjoyable as the first for me surprisingly since I'm kind of picky with found footage type films and it satisfied me, maybe because I like a family dynamic better than just the couple in the first one but I liked both a lot. However, the scares in the first movie were more skin crawling and the ending for this movie was a little far fetched but fun nonetheless.


OCTOBER 22-


52. DVD Dawn Of The Dead (2004)- 5/5 Stars. I love love love this remake, the original one has a more classic feel but this movie is intensely fun & in your face terror.


OCTOBER 23-


53. TVCat People (1942)- 5/5 Stars. This was decent & well done for it's time however I felt like there could have been more suspenseful parts because it felt like a drama the majority of the movie not horror.

54. TV Alien (1979)- 5/5 Stars. Classic not much to say about this other than it's awesome.

55. TV Aliens (1986)- 5/5 Stars. I like the action in this better than the first but both the original & this are amazing, I plan to watch the next two sequels before halloween haven't seen them before.


OCTOBER 24-


56. DVD The Descent (2005)- 5/5 Stars. Best mutant horror movie ever, I never get tired of it.


OCTOBER 25-


57. NIThe Pit & The Pendulum (1961)- 5/5 stars. Talk about a suspenseful ending! This was a great movie & vincent price did a fantastic job.

58. NI The House Of The Devil (2009)- 5/5 stars. One of the few slow building horror movies that I loved, due to its gritty 80's feel and loved that it was refreshingly different than most movies out today. Have seen this several times already and enjoy it every time.


OCTOBER 26-


59. NI Scream (1996)- 5/5 stars. Not much I can say about this film that hasn't been said before, this series has the best opening sequences. Slashers are my favorite genre of horror and I was 9 when this movie came out so it terrified me but one of those movies I couldn't stop watching. Also love the comedic references to other horror movies.

60. DVD Friday The 13th (1980)- 5/5 Stars. Such a classic.

61. DVD Friday The 13th Part II (1981)- 5/5 Stars. Another classic.


OCTOBER 27-


62. OLPsycho (1960)- 5/5 Stars. Best black and white horror classic I've ever seen.

63. TVVampire Diaries (60 Min.) + The Secret Circle (60 Min.)- 5/5 Stars. Ghosts & Witch Hunters = SPOOKY FUN!


OCTOBER 28-


64. OL The Worst Witch (TV Movie) (1986)- 5/5 Stars. Revisited this from my childhood and it definitely feels like Harry Potter got some of it's ideas from this movie and funny to watch Tim Curry trying to perform a sexy number. Fun g-rated halloween flick for this time of year.

65. DVD Friday The 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (1986)- 5/5 Stars. My personal favorite of the series, highest body count in the series from what I recall and humourous moments mixed in with a side dish of genuine romance. I also think the kills are awesomely creative.


OCTOBER 29-


66. NI The Lost Boys (1987)- 5/5 stars. Best vampire movie in my opinion period.

67. NITrick 'R Treat (2007)- 5/5 stars. Amazing movie in every way, this will become a mandatory watch every halloween now.

68. DVDFriday The 13th Part III (1982)- 4/5 stars. This was better than I thought it would be, definitely entertaining & some neat kills.

69. DVDA Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987)- 5/5 Stars. I can see why some people would view this as better than the first because of the creative kills/effects, but the first is still better in my opinion. I still enjoyed this movie a lot (enough to rate it high) & would say it's 2nd best in the series.


OCTOBER 30-


70. DVD The Omen (1976)- 5/5 Stars. Of course this is one of the best horror movies of all time, scared me A LOT the first time I snuck watching it when I was a kid.

71. DVD Halloween (2007)- 5/5 Stars. I will always like the original more but this was a fun movie too, especially since it was more in your face scary.


OCTOBER 31-


72. DVD Halloween (1978)- 5/5 Stars. Classic.

73. DVD Halloween II (1981)- 5/5 Stars. Another classic & wonderful double feature.

Re: The 7th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/31) ***The List Thread

I'm in at the last minute. I have Netflix and am going to watch movies from TCM and SyFy. I am using DVR for a lot of late nite ones. I want to watch a variety - old/new/different categories of the genre.

My key:
☼ first view
***** 1 - 5 star ratings
♥ what i heart in the movie if anything

Netflix Instant
Syfy
TCM
My DVD
AMC
Amazon Prime Free Instant



Saturday / October 1, 2011

FearDotCom (2002) ***
I don't like this movie very much. The "Do you want to play a game?" line always makes me think of Saw.
Children of the Corn (2009) ***
Like better than the previous one except for Malachai. He was a lot creepier first go around.
Husk (2010) *** ok. I hated the part where the guy was explaining everything using a chess board.
The Pumpkin Karver (2006) ***
I hate the monster and the old man was horrible. Liked the very very end 5 seconds.
Valentine ***
Not to hard to figure out. The cupid mask wasn't scary at all.

Sunday / October 2, 2011

Goblin (2010) ***
This just seemed to drag on and on. Monster sucked. I hate caped things.
Headless Horseman (2007)
"Ahhh he's got a head. How the hell did he get a freakin' head?" ♥ LMAO. The kid's acting sucked and so did their pathetic attempts to get out of town. But the rest of it wasn't too bad. Headless, the monster was pretty decent and so were some of the decapitations.
Kill Theory (2009) ***
Yep it still sucked. The psycho / pyschiatrist crap that starts the movie just doesn't play well.
My Bloody Valentine (2009) *** Okay remake but the original was a lot better.
Monday October 3, 2011
Ghouls (2008) **** I actually like this movie. Parts of it are kinda hokey like the beginning with the "ghoul hunters".
Thursday October 6, 2011
Mask Maker (2010) **** Pretty good. Hated the monster and the way it ended. ♥ Gotta love Michael Berryman.
Case 39 (2009)***** Renee Zellweger actually pulled this one off. I loved it. Creeeeepy little kid movie -- those are the ones that get me. The little girl really nailed it when she was talking to the psychiatrist and his fear of bees- yeah that scene ♥......yeeeesh!!!
Friday October 7, 2011
Hide and Seek (2005) Oxygen TV Channel **** Little girl's mother kills herself in the bathtub at the beginning. Her father is a psychologist. They go off to the country. Creepy little kid. Little girl's (Emily-Dakota Fanning) eyeballs always seem to be bulging. Creepy.
Saturday October 8, 2011
100 Feet (2008) ***** Love this movie. It gives a new meaning to house arrest. The scene where the delivery boy meets the "ghost" is great (&gory).
Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead (2009) ** Hated. The first movie scared me because the victims were inside the cannibals house. This one seemed like a lot of running around in the woods bore.
Frogs (1972) *** I don't think the frogs were that scary... The snakes were. I think it should have been named Amphibians Attack. ♥ Sam Elliott - always looking & sounding goood. Wish they would have left out the ending scene at the house and had it end with them in the car.
The Burning (1981) **** Been meaning to watch this for some time. OK camp story. Liked the raft part, hated the look of the monster.
Nine Lives (2002) ** Blah, blah... Actually started out kinda good. Well - I am always waiting for Paris Hilton to get killed off :-) But then descended into people running around the house, getting possessed and killing. I was bored.
Grace (2009) *** Only gave3 stars because I kept watching to see what happened. Will never watch this again. I don't know what to say except for "How bizarre?". Starts out weirdo baby.... then takes one hell of a weirdo turn. Also way too much blood to illustrate even minor parts of the movie.
Sunday October 9, 2011
Carver (2008) Crackle Channel on Roku box ** Bored - guess I'm getting tired of backwoods movies.
Paranormal Activity (2007) * Hate this movie - esp and probably because of all the hype. I've heard the sequel is better.
Haunting at the Beacon **** Death of a child/guilt of the mother. Decent - I wish they would have shown the little boy more. ♥ the scenes with the hanging scissors.
Monday October 10, 2011
Monkey Shines (1988) **** pretty good. I just don't like watching movies where animals are abused. That poor monkey and the needle :-(
Thursday October 13, 2011
Strangeland (1998) **** Key word here is Strange. haha. Decent. Lots of tattoos and piercings in this movie. Dee Snider didn't do too bad of a job. Captain Howdy was quite the token monster.
Saturday October 15, 2011
Carrie (1976) ***** If not SK's finest movie adaptation, it's certainly in the top choices. Sissy Spacek was an absolute perfect choice for the role of Carrie White. And the gotcha moment at the end always gets me.
Dead End (2003) *** Just kept going on and on.... kinda like a horror Ground Hog's Day. ♥ Loved when mom was eating the potato chips and Marian said she would get sick and the mom said no she wouldn't. funny haha.
Staunton Hill (2009) *** Nothing new in this movie of backwoods people killing off the people who stumbled on their land.
Death On Demand (2008) *** There were some good parts to this one, but I think all the stupid sex crap and nudity (was the porn star's nipple in the wrong place or what?) really ruined it. ♥ when they were showing the kid's faces really quickly. The "reality audience" was stupid except for one shot when they were acting like they at Rocky Horror and imitating but then that moment was quickly lost.
~lazy this week in posting movies I watched~
Sunday October 23, 2011
Long Distance (2005) ***This could have been a great movie but I hate when
Spoiler:
at the end of the movie you find out it was all in the psychotic supposed good person's head.

Monday October 24, 2011
☼ Fear of the Dark (2003) *** Afternoon movie special. Not too much of substance in this. Watchable movie, but not too much on scares. Amazon had a comparison to The Ring on the description. No where near.
Thursday October 27, 2011
☼ The Cottage (2008) **** [Crackle] I liked this one even though it is comedy and I generally can't get into the horror/comedy movies. Maybe because it's a 1st time viewing. There were some good moments/special fx.
Spoiler:
The monster holding the one guy's spine connected to his head, swinging it like a trophy kill. The scene where the one brother gets part of his foot cut off.
The monster did give me a The Hills Have Eyes memory.
Saturday October 29, 2011
Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982) *** One question: Where was Michael Myers in this film???!!! A good case of using a franchise to just do stupid stuff. What am I talking about most sequels are stupid stuff.... The song in this movie drives me crazy!
☼ Orphan (2009) ****** I love this movie. I'm glad I DVR'ed it so I can watch it again. The mother's acting is awesome. And I love that she could communicate without making noise (at one pt in the movie it was essential) with her daughter. I saw this on Lifetime, I would like to see it movie wise uncut for regular tv.
Sunday October 30, 2011
The Bleeding House (2011) *** ok. the big deal made about the family "situation" didn't seem real. nor the reveal of the culprit. mason jars of blood, good idea but seemed hokey here. blackbird was the star of the whole movie. shots of her face with bloody nose at end were good.
Paranormal Activity 2 (2010) ** booooorrrrrrring. hated the first, hated the second. the whole first half of the movie is showing rooms in the house over and over and over. i could walk thru that house in the dark. can't believe anyone is making money off this crap. i would rather watch cheesy horror than something like this that is so hyped up with advertising and doesn't deliver.
Black Swarm (2007) *** liked as movie but not as horror movie. too much exploring lovey dovey relationships between everyone. the bees didn't to be that scary or threatening.
Monday October 31, 2011
Basket Case (1982) ** blah. I really thought this was going to be at least interesting. The monster sucked! It looked like a claymation. Wasn't impressed with it or the story.
Halloween 1978 ********** My all time favorite movie. I have watched this every Halloween for I don't remember how long.

Well.... I didn't get close but I did get over a third of the way! Can't wait to try this again next year.

Re: The 7th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/31) ***The List Thread

Brainee's 2011 DVDTalk Horror Movie Challenge List

Goal: 50
Total: 53
First Time Views: 51

= first time viewing

October 1st
1. Lizard Baby (2004) - Having seen a couple of these Hideshi Hino movies already, I knew to keep my expectations low. And this still managed not to meet them. Not much of anything even happens. I suppose a highlight is the lizard baby itself, which looks laughably like Kermit the Frog.

2. The Boy From Hell (2004) - This is actually of the better entries in the Hideshi Hino series. As usual the monster is goofy as hell. But it maintains a pretty relentless pace for its 50 minutes, full of gore and craziness. If you ever wanted to see a movie with a giant midget dressed as a boy stomping people in hell, this is the movie for you. My main quibble is with the theme music. Goblin's "Profondo Rosso" score called ... it said come up with original music you plagiarizing bastards.

3. Ghosts - Italian Style (1967) - A bit of a disappointment. This could've been good if it was a saucier Italian sex comedy ... or if it went all-out having fun with the horror-comedy aspects of the story. Despite Sophia Loren being billed as the "star", she mostly sits around while these stupid Italian guys mug for the camera. And it's too bad the only real ghost action occurs as a throwaway joke at the very end (with the story that could've followed that seeming a lot more interesting than what we just spent 90 minutes watching).

4. Between Two Worlds (1944) - Pretty good war-time Twilight Zone-ish movie. And I mean one of those sappy preachy TZ episodes ... not one of the scary ones with man-eating aliens or something. Still, despite being talky (not surprising to hear this was based on a stage play) and some of the actors going overboard with the melodramatics I thought it was solid. I liked the set-up with the boat passengers gradually figuring out they were dead, and the dread in which they awaited "The Examiner" ... who would decide whether they went to heaven or hell.

5. Devils of Darkness (1965) - It'll be a sad day when I stop finding old horror movies that I haven't seen before. And while I thought I'd seen all the Hammer (or pseudo-Hammer) horrors, new (to me) ones still pop up. Though I can kind of see why this one is so little known. Yeah, it does a mash-up of Satanists and vampires with hot gypsies and swinging 60's parties. But it just ends up being a limp effort. The main baddie, Count Sinistre, just isn't very imposing - Christopher Lee's Dracula would crush him with one arm tied behind his back. And there just aren't any good horror payoff moments - no stake impalings, no blood-dripping fangs. Hell, the vampire bites don't even seem to break the skin ... victims just look like they got a hickie. I like the name though - Count Sinistre. You almost have to go into a career of blood-drinking and Satan-worshipping with a name like that. You never hear stuff like that coming from guys with names like Count Goodfellow.

October 2nd
6. The Wolf of the Malveneurs (1943) - Creaky little curio made in Occupation-era France. This one has gothic horror trappings in spades - a cursed family, spooky old house, a mad scientist, monster on the loose. Too bad so little actually happens. I thought this might end up being some kind of werewolf movie, but it only ended up being a fake-out (after the werewolf story was brought up at the beginning, it was pretty much ignored until the very end). Still, probably worth watching for horror fans as a curiosity.

October 3rd
7. ☼ Dexter: "Those Kinds of Things" (2011); ☼ Supernatural: "Hello Cruel World" (2011)

October 4th
8. ☼ Boogiepop Phantom (2000) - Episodes 1-4

October 5th
9. Dead Girl Walking (2004) - Another in the Hideshi Hino series. Clearly this won't be for all tastes (not surprisingly Netflix users trash it for being "boring"). But extremely ambitious for this series ... almost arthouse in it's approach. I love the director's "old-school" style ... starting with the 60's-style opening credits. It's all over the place in tone - from silly, to gross-out, to perverse, to sad, to philosophical. And I have to give kudos to any filmmakers willing to stretch themselves like this.

10. ☼ Ravaged House: Zoroku's Disease (2004) - And yet another Hideshi Hino movie (just about worked by way through the series). And damn ... these last two were depressing as hell. Nothing like the other ones (which were goofy, shoddy, over-the-top affairs). This isn't even a horror movie in the conventional sense. Just a pitiable tale about a poor young man who comes down with a horrid leprosy-like disease - and how his family is torn apart by it, and outsiders cruelly ostracize them.

October 6th
11. ☼ Boogiepop Phantom (2000) - Episodes 5-8

12. Boogiepop Phantom: Episodes 9-12 (2000) - Well, that was something different. One of the most unsettling and creepy anime series I've seen. The story jumps all over in time, through multiple characters - the sounds and visuals are all designed to create disorientation in the viewer. Not that I have any idea what the story was about. Well, I picked up a few things ... but a lot remains a mystery. Though now I'm reading that the series is a sequel to a live-action movie. I'll have to give that a shot - though I've also read it isn't very good. Also, "Boogiepop Phantom" suffers from the same problem that some other anime has - it's based on tons of material (a couple dozen novels) that can't be condensed in the given running time. Maybe this was great for all the Japanese Boogiepop fans, but this poor American newbie was left puzzled.

October 7th
13. The Haunted Casino (2007) - My "prize" from last year's horror challenge. Err ... can I get my money back? Though when you see "A Full Moon Production" and "A Charles Band Film" you know to set those expectations floor-low. But my problem is this: remember the good old days when a horror movie would be crappy - but they'd make it watchable for fans by giving it a fast pace, a high body count, and hot girls would get naked? We're not a demanding lot, we horror fans. How did "Haunted Casino" do? Pace - talk, talk, talk ... after a couple of murders to begin the movie, nothing really happens until the last 20 minutes. Blood - aside from one (lame-looking) arm-dismemberment, practically nothing ... a typical episode of "Supernatural" is bloodier than this. Nudity - all tease, no delivery. What's the point of having a hot nympho ghost, an oversexed girl with an internet sex site, and a lesbian (who has the hots for the internet sex girl) if the movie doesn't do anything with it?!? The last 20 minutes elevated this from a total turd (not coincidentally where Sid Haig and Michael Berryman get the most screentime).

14. Boogiepop Doesn't Laugh: Boogiepop and Others (2000) - Tell me you're not the tinest bit intrigued to see something with a character called "Boogiepop". I messed up by not watching this before the anime series. The book (from which is based) was the first in the Boogiepop series. The live-action movie was intended by the producers to be viewed before the anime. Things got screwed-up production-wise and it came out afterward. While still confusing, it does make things much clearer (especially relating to who/what is Boogiepop). Though I think the events from the movie should've been the first few episodes of the anime. Animation gave the filmmakers much greater freedom to be mind-bending. The fantastical elements don't quite work for live-action (Boogiepop in particular is awfully silly looking). At least they don't work well for the extremely low budget this obviously had, and the amateur actors. It's not bad by any means ... I was actually expecting much worse. It's just the anime series is much better.

October 8th
15. The Video Dead (1987) - This was one of those VHS's that always remember seeing when browsing the horror section as a kid. It shouted to me "Look at me! I look cool, don't I? Rent me!" Yet somehow I resisted it's call. Until now. Actually, I probably would've liked this back then. Cheesy as hell, but it's got a fast pace, oddball humor ... and it has zombies! No mindless brain-eaters are this lot. I appreciate that they'll take a moment after a kill, nudge another zombie, give a look as if to say "Good kill, huh?", followed by a hearty laugh by them all. They're polite as well. Believe it or not, one scene had them break into a couple's house. It was early and the couple was still sleeping. Rather than shamble up the steps and wake everyone they just hung out in the kitchen ... one can even be seen eating Cheerios! Only when the couple wake up do they kill everyone.

16. Phobia (1980) - Another cool video box that I somehow missed. This movie is best known because of its director - John Huston. Yes, that John Huston. He was slumming pretty badly around this time, before going out on a high note with "Prizzi's Honor" and "The Dead". Aside from Huston's involvement, and for Starsky and Hutch fans it stars Starsky, this doesn't have much going for it. A movie about a psychiatrist using controversial shock techniques to cure phobias, whose patients all start being stalked by a psycho who kills them according to their worst fear, sounds like it should be good. But it just doesn't deliver ... I had to battle to stay awake. As as far as the mystery part of the plot is concerned ... the tagline actually gives away the identity of the killer!!!

17. Fade to Black (1980) - How did I ever not see this one? I liked it a lot, even if the plot and characterizations don't hold together completely. As a movie (especially horror movie) nerd, this one speaks to me. How come writer-director Vernon Zimmerman never made another feature after this? It's interesting to see a very young Mickey Rourke show up as well.

October 9th
18. Amer (2009) - It's easy to see why this has divided responses from horror fans (while professional critics mostly give positive reviews). I went in thinking this was going to be a stylish giallo ... which isn't the way to approach this movie. What it turned out to be was a highly experimental non-narrative art film. And when I say "non-narrative", I don't mean the story-light style of most gialli. I mean there's pretty much no story at all. Instead you follow along select episodes in a girl's life, whose representation in the film is likely extremely different than reality. If you give in to it's pace and style (and don't expect a conventional horror-thriller to ever emerge), there's a captivating quality to this - and it certainly has me thinking about it for some time after.

19. Giallo (2009) - This wasn't a bad movie. There's just so little to distinguish it from all the other serial killer movies (except maybe by being a little nastier). The story actually played out a lot like "Silence of the Lambs" - minus all the Hannibal Lector stuff. One little thing I just realized while checking out the imdb page - Adrien Brody played the killer in addition to playing the inspector!

October 12th
20. The Praying Mantis (2004) - Hmm ... well that was a lot less "horror" than you'd think a movie about a man-murdering succubus monster would be. Much more an art-house romance. I would've liked a little more story here ... or failing that, at least some characters to relate to. Instead nothing's explained. And of the three main characters, one guy's aloof, the other's an egotistic asshole, and the girl's a psycho. At least she looked good naked.

October 13th
21. Left Bank (2008) - What's with these Belgium art-house horror movies? I liked this more than "Praying Mantis" - it seemed to have more of a focus on what it wanted to do. And even there wasn't much horror, it kept my interest by having the characters interesting. An odd movie, in that for most of the running time it seemed to be just a romantic melodrama ... but it would occasionally drop little supernatural things into the mix to remind you that something weird was afoot. You can feel "Rosemary's Baby" and "Wicker Man" influences running strong. And the way things wrapped up at the end is certainly something I haven't seen before:
Spoiler:
yes, like the movies I mentioned the cultists win in the end. But they have a strong argument that they did the sacrificed woman a big favor - since she was ultimately not killed, but given a second chance at life (which is something she wished for).


22. I'll Bury You Tomorrow (2002) - I'm not usually a fan of micro-budget horror. And to be honest, I don't think I would've rented this if I realized it was one of those shot-on-video shoe-string budget amateur affairs. Though for what it was, this was pretty solid. It's actually a shame it has that cheap video look, because it's reasonably well put together. Nothing really new story-wise (though I guess you can never have enough movies about psycho killer necrophiliacs). Not as lurid as these things can get, though it certainly has it's moments. If there's a major problem, it's that it's far too long (nearly 2 hours). A side note: I looked up the director on imdb, and was confused to see a woman's picture (with the name Alan). Turns out there wasn't a mistake - the director is just a transvestite.

23. ☼ Dexter: "Once Upon a Time" (2011); ☼ Supernatural: "The Girl Next Door" (2011)

October 14th
24. Creepy Hide and Seek (2009) - Why would anyone play creepy hide and seek? If you win, you survive to play another day. If you lose, you die. At least for me, if I'm playing this game the ghost better give a decent reward for my win - like a clue to a hidden treasure or something.

25. Macabre (1958) - How have I never seen this? Maybe never being released on home video until recently had something to do with it. This had such an awesome poster:
Spoiler:
Not to mention the $1,000 "death by fright" life insurance gimmick. I had to wonder if even the naive audiences of the 50s were a bit disappointed ... instead of a horrifying shocker, they got a small-town mystery story. William Castle would deliver the horror goods much better with his following "House on Haunted Hill" and "The Tingler".

26. The Bloodstained Lawn (1973) - I love tracking down these ultra-obscure horror movies from my various sources (only 14 votes at imdb). And it wasn't bad at all, though it was a stretch to fill its meager 80 minute running time - lots of scenes of people just hanging out, doing drugs, having orgies, playing guitar ... with some horror working its way in there. I suppose there's some kind of social statement being made here - in a movie where a rich family wines and dines the local dregs of society (prostitutes, drunks, hippies), only to drain all their blood to sell on the open market. And what was the symbolism of the weird blood-sucking tentacled robot? Err ... I think that was just because a giant blood-sucking tentacled robot looks cool!

October 15th
27. ☼ Fringe: "One Night in October" and "Alone in the World" (2011) - Was going to count these as my first wildcard before watching them from my DVR. But damn ... if stories about a brain-drilling mass murderer and a child-eating fungus don't count as horror, I don't know what does.

28. Daybreakers (2009) - Pretty good stuff ... these guys have come a long way since "Undead". I wish I got to see more of this world (and how things got to how they were) rather focus exclusively on Ethan Hawke's mopey character. But it gets points for not detouring into the romance I was sure was coming. And for having vicious vampires (especially the blood-deprived devolved ones) who don't sparkle.

29. The Phantom Carriage (1921) - I'll admit to not always having the patience for silent "classics". It really can be a completely different style of film making that's tough to watch sometimes. But this was quite absorbing, and surprisingly sophisticated in its story-telling structure. The ghost scenes are still wonderfully eerie and effective. And I like the idea that the last person to die each year (on New Year's Eve) has to serve as the Grim Reaper for the next calendar year. My only question is ... why does the last death of the year always occur in Sweden?

October 16th
30. A Taste of Evil (1971) - The 70's were a great time for American made-for-TV horror. And this is no exception ... you know you're in good hands with acting veterans Barbara Stanwyck and Roddy McDowell, and screenwriter Jimmy Sangster (who wrote so many great Hammer horrors). It's a shocker to see the movie start with a little girl getting attacking and raped (while playing with her Raggedy Ann doll no less). And it developed into a good mystery. One of the nice things about these older made-for-TV movies is that rarely overstay their welcome (running 90 minutes minus commercials).

31. ☼ The Walking Dead (2011): "What Lies Ahead"

October 19th
32. Wake Wood (2011) - I was a little disappointed this ended up essentially ended up being a slight re-write of "Pet Sematary". But it was well done, and a classy production worthy of reviving the Hammer name.

33. Marronnier (2004) - Holy shit! Unfortunately I don't remember which positive review encouraged me to put this in the Netflix queue ... so I can make a note to never believe that critic again. Don't be fooled by the plot synopsis, which makes it sound fun and crazy. Utterly incompetent on just about every level and 80 minutes I wish I could have back. If it wasn't for this stupid challenge, I would've bailed

October 20th
34. ☼ Doctor Who (2011): "Closing Time"; "The Wedding of River Song" Wildcard #1 - Unlike an earlier list I noticed, I'm not going to call these horror because of one scene with skulls But both episodes have alien monsters killing people ... hell, that's probably good enough. But I've been hoarding my wildcards, so I'll use one here.

35. Night Life (1989) - Another "only available on VHS" treasure from the 80's! And it was pretty good. It's surprising to see no horror elements show up until an hour into the movie. But the early scenes aren't boring, and it's clear the producers loaded up their budget for the final 30 minutes (with some big horror/action set-pieces). Romero zombie purists will NOT be pleased however. Not only do they run here ... but when their victims run faster, they have no qualms about getting in a car and driving after them!

October 21st
36. The Face at the Window (1939) - My first Tod Slaughter movie, and it was a good one. A werewolf killer, a freak in a cage, a mad scientist reanimating the dead, a spooky Victorian London setting ... and of course Slaughter himself, as an over-the-top evil scumbag. I can see why he was a popular stage actor - his size and booming voice probably dominated the stage. And while this style of acting has long since been out of style, it does perfectly fine in this era.

37. Crimes at the Dark House (1940) - If anything, Slaughter is even more over-the-top nasty in this one. Though he clearly loves his work, chortling with glee as he murders his pregnant mistress and other assorted evil deeds. While American horror in the late 30's was tamed down (thanks to the Hays Code), this feels a lot more extreme - almost Grand Guignol in its approach.

38. The Bird with the Crystal Plumage (1970) - Finally giving my Blu-Ray a spin (unfortunately wasting a lot of time setting up a new slim PS3 with my home theater system). This holds up well. Thanks to Argento's stylish direction (which never feels indulgent) and interesting cast of characters - including a stuttering pimp and a cat-eating recluse painter.

October 22nd
39. Shutter Island (2010) Wildcard #2 - I knew that this wasn't going to be an actual horror movie (like the ads suggested). Though I wouldn't hold anyone against counting it. It has so many horror movie trappings: spooky insane asylum, dark stormy nights, mad scientists performing evil experiments, homicidal maniacs, insanity, ghosts. Just because the horror rug gets pulled from us at the end doesn't negate the 2 hours of horror that came before. We'll see ... if I need another wildcard, maybe I'll change the designation

40. Dream Home (2010) - This has gotten a lot of buzz. Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed. Yeah, it's super gory. But that's all it is. A series of gore scenes, with characters we haven't gotten to know. The tie-in to the housing crisis doesn't add any depth or sophistication. The movie did have me wondering something ... how long can someone really survive without any entrails?

41. Mad Monster Party? (1967) - It's sad to think current (and future) generations of kids won't give this a chance because of the primitive "Animagic" stop-motion style. I don't get the question mark in the title ... what's the question? Are they mad? Are they monsters? Is it a party? Seems to me like the answer to all three is a resounding "yes".

October 23rd
42. ☼ Supernatural: "Defending Your Life" (2011); ☼ The Walking Dead: "Bloodletting" (2011)

October 24th
43. ☼ Dexter: "Smokey and the Bandit" and "A Horse of a Different Color" (2011)

October 25th
44. Angel Negro (2000) - Chile's first horror movie, eh? Keep working at it guys. Tired and cliched slasher made by people who clearly watched "Scream" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer" too many times. Not helping the matter were the awful subtitles, unreadable in many scenes because of white on white issues.

45. The Crimes of Stephen Hawke (1936) - This starts off with one of the most shameless displays of running-time padding I've ever seen. The first 10 minutes is a radio show variety program (culminating with Tod Slaughter finally coming out and introducing the movie). You get a musical-comedy routine by Flotsam and Jetsam (you don't want to know). You get an interview with "The Pussy Butcher" (you really really don't want to know). Once the movie starts it's pretty good. Again, these old British horror movies really seem a lot more extreme than the post Hayes code stuff coming from Hollywood at the same time. Slaughter brutally breaks the spine of a little boy in the opening scene!

46. The Scorpion with Two Tails (1982) - Not to be confused with Sergio Martino's earlier "The Case of the Scorpion's Tale". That's a good movie ... this is not. Very weak sauce for a giallo - no sex, tame violence, dull mystery, boring characters. The DVD notes mentioned this was going to be a 4-hour made-for-tv miniseries. Thank god that was scrapped. If this material was stretched to 4-hours the results would be so dull it would threaten the fabric of space and time. The music was good ... when it was first used in Fulci's "City of the Living Dead". These Italian horror cheapies from this time period can really be pretty shameless in how they rip-off better movies.

October 27th
47. Gantz (2010) - I haven't seen the anime (and manga) this is based on, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Despite imdb labeling this as horror, it isn't - pretty straight-forward sci-fi action to me. I enjoyed the premise and there are some wonderful action set pieces (loved the battle with the statues). I have to agree with the accusation that the characters are idiots. Let's see ... you have a gun that pretty much obliterates anything with a single shot. Yet you dick around in fights, running around and letting people get killed, because you forget to shoot?!?

48. Remote Control (1988) - I'm not sure what director Jeff Lieberman's story was. There was a 7 year wait from "Just Before Dawn", and 16 years after this until his next feature. "Remote Control" is very much in the vein of his earlier "Blue Sunshine", also featuring mind-controlled murderers. But instead of bad acid, it's aliens and crappy VHS sci-fi movies to blame. The crazy 80's styles are so over-the-top that it has to be a joke (and imdb must agree, listing this as a comedy).

October 29th
49. Gantz: Perfect Answer (2011) - Not much I can find to read about this in English. But I do have to agree with one comment I read - if you're a fan of over-acting by J-pop idols, then this is the movie for you. There are still big battles, but the crazy alien/monster designs are gone - which is disappointing. Despite being called the "Perfect Answer", this isn't. If you're going to ask the audience to commit to over 4 and a half hours, give us a good ending!
Spoiler:
We still didn't really find out what Gantz is, and I hate the "reset button" ending they went with.


50. Paranormal Activity 2 (2010) - I don't get why people who hated PA1 would even bother with this ... I think some people just like to bitch. I liked it. I liked how it managed to be a prequel and a sequel. But again, like PA1, I question the actions of the male lead. I don't know about you guys, but if I saw my wife and child being thrown about (and dog maimed) by an invisible demon I'd: a) find someone better to help me than the nanny I just fired, and b) GET OUT OF THE HOUSE!!!

October 30th
51. The Sister of Ursula (1978) - Well, if nothing else I have to say this for this movie ... it's the first time I've seen a dildo-wielding killer. Other than that, this is kind of dull. It does have nice scenery. And if you're into soft-core porn, this has that going for it too - in fact, there's a lot more soft-core porn than horror/thriller action.

52. ☼ Fringe: "Subject Nine" (2011); The Un-Gone (2007); ☼ The Simpsons: "Treehouse of Horror XXII" (2011) Wildcard #3

53. ☼ Supernatural: "Shut Up, Dr. Phil" (2011); ☼ Dexter: "The Angel of Death" (2011)
