^Netflix doesn't even carry the disc. It's in the 'Saved' section.

Put me down as well.
This is one of the rare movies I couldn't even make it very far into before deleting it off my tivo. Megan Fox was just awful and I could only make it to the bar scene at the beginning.

Wow. You didn't get very far at all. I have a couple of friends who love the movie and think it's hysterical. I watched it Monday. It was just sort of meh to me, though I can see its appeal for some people. I was expecting it to be much worse; it wasn't too bad, despite its unevenness, but not something I would purchase. Amanda Seyfried is great, but I thought Megan Fox and Adam Brody were both woefully miscast. Someone else in Fox's role might have made this movie a lot better.

Ok- It looks like Black Belly Of The Tarantula is streaming, if someone can confirm that I'd be willing to change Embodiment of Evil to that.

Great mini-series. Also recommend that!
Definitely not at the same pace that I was last year. The difference being I am about 100 times more busy this Fall than I was back then. Trying to sneak in as many as I can when I can. Still having fun though!
I do have to say I'm a teeny bit jealous of the people I would (assume) aren't working and are churning out like 6-8 films a day.
Also it might not get a lot of love, but I really liked Jennifer's Body. I hated Juno's dialogue and I was surprised I didn't hate the dialogue in Jennifer's Body as much. There are some definitely eye-rolling bits, but all the best stuff is saved for Megan Fox.

I really like Jennifer's Body too. The first time I saw it I didn't care for it all that much, but it grew on me with subsequent viewings and is now a guilty pleasure flick for me. I'm sure I'll watch it at some point before the end of the month.

Edit to add: Doh! Chad snuck in after I hit reply. More work for you Chad. Thanks again to you for all that you do, and to Seth for being willing to change it to something easier for all of us to track down.
Also available as cheap as $8.95 shipped on Amazon.

If anyone is debating what Jean Rollin film to watch to complete the checklist, I really enjoyed The Grapes Of Death.

Speaking of subset list film changes, I feel kind of bad about my suggestion. I wasn't going to participate, but when Chad was getting desperate near the beginning of the month for more choices, I just looked at the shelf nearest me and threw out a few choices.
If I had known my random choice was going to be on Stephen King night I would have tried to back a better selection. At least, I think that most people consider Creepshow rather mediocre.
I'm sure I'm just over-thinking it, but I would have no problem with the choice being changed to anything else.

I think Creepshow is one of the best anthology horror movies. I've always had a lot of fun with it.

Alright, a few more 'heads up' announcements:
- Day 26 of the subset list has been changed from "Embodiment of Evil" to "The Black Belly of the Tarantula".
- I've finally gotten around to updating all the list links on the first page of the list thread. It's also not a bad idea to link your list in your sig if you haven't already.
- Trivia question this Saturday. Probably around noon EST. You'll be playing for a copy of "Maniac Cop" on Blu-ray courtesy of Synapse.
- Number your damn lists! Please.

Thanks to SethDLH for switching from Embodiment of Evil. I might still try to track it down just so I'll feel l'll like I was up to the challenge. Black Belly of the Tarantula looks worthy.
Due to the interference of my offspring I have resorted to Scooby Doo as a compromise... French zombie movies will have to wait until bedtime.

The Goodies DVD - 'Cecily' (1970) - 30 minutes - The Goodies babysit a young girl whose under a curse..? Some good gags but ultimately falls flat. You'd think the Goodies would've had a good horror spoof in them.
Addams Family DVD - 'Halloween - Addam's Style' (1965) - 30 minutes - A Scrooge tells Wedsnday that there's no such things as witches on Halloween. The only Halloween episode for the Addam's Family. Good.
The Outer Limits DVD - 'The Forms of Things Unknown' (1964) - 1 hour - Two women murder a sleazy blackmailer, who is then brought back to life. Creepy Outer Limits episode that had to have been at least partially informed by Diabolique.
Decided to shake things up a bit today. Of the three, The Outer Limits was the only real winner. Addam's Family was good, but nothing special. The Goodies was just disappointing.

for some reason i felt like watching DISTURBING BEHAVIOR. it's ironic that katie holmes ISN'T one of the brainwashed kids in this movie.

Looking over my list, I'm a bit surprised that all the films I've watched so far have been from the 1950s to present with the exception of zero films thus far from the '90s. I found it interesting anyway.
Since it's French day, I guess it's finally time for me to give the Martyrs Blu-ray a spin. Time to go set up in the back yard for another movie night!

Oh, don't forget that tonight is the premiere of American Horror Story on FX. I'm definitely going to check it out later.

So, instead of just sitting at work again with nothing to watch I figured I'd take out the DVD playing on the wall and put anything in I can find that's horror related, so tonight's a double feature of Friday the 13th: The Official XXX Parody and Scream XXX.

I either missed something or just don't get these foreign zombie films. Watched The Horde and really wasn't into it. I also didn't like Dead Snow. last year. I don't mind fast zombies, there's just something I'm not into here. I guess I'm getting picky (cranky) in my mid-30's.
I remember being totally pissed when that dude grabbed Katie's breast. Yeah, I was a big Creek fan back in the day.

i watched the first 3 seasons when it aired mainly because of katie holmes (and the girl i was dating). her tits looked great the whole movie. lots of other young stars in it as well.
