Th Most Dangerous Game is a striking and wonderful film, had a great first time viewing.
Started my Inner Sanctum Mysteries set today with Calling Dr. Death which pales in comparison but is a nice horror mystery.
Looking forward to venturing into The Burning, Dead & Buried, and the I Slit On Your Grave commentary with Joe Bob Briggs tonight if I can get the time cleared.

Does anyone know if the upcoming (next week) Synapse release 'South of Heaven' is a horror film at all? I'm on my phone and can't get a valid answer on it via searching.
Can anyone suggest Uncle Sam or Vampyres? They're the only Blue Underground blu-rays I haven't seen in any format, worth picking up?
I finally bought Basket Case 2 after going my entire life without seeing and being a big fan of the first since middle school, I've always wanted to check it out, just never got the chance. now I just have to wait for Synapse to release the 3rd on blu-ray to finally see that.

Yeah, caught everything except his opening intro to Rio Bravo. In a nutshell he discussed the filmography of Howard Hawks and the influence on his work, his love for westerns, growing up in the baby boomer generation and James Bernard's unique approach to scoring his films, which is singing out the title. It was informative, but didn't really cover any new territory he hasn't already in his commentaries.
EDIT: Misread your post.

Count me in as one of the people who liked Vampyres more than Uncle Sam.
Just finished watching Blood Of The Virgins. Goofy Argentinian Vampire film.

just watched American Horror Story think i share alot of the opinions as posted in the dedicated thread in tv. I enjoyed it and it does help i find the maid lady sexy, but it is all over the place between that and the characters in the show it felt like i was watching a horror version of american beauty.
also watched Hellraiser today..everytime i re watch it i forget how awesome the movie is. the fx, imagery, and well rat peeling just bring me to my happy horror place!

Agreed! It makes me wish that Clive Barker still churned out films like that. I'm already thinking about watching Hellraiser III: Hell On Earth, mostly because I haven't watched it for any challenge I've participated in yet.

Watched Once Bitten, Jim Carrey's first film, years before he was Fireman Bill on In Living Color. You can tell that he has great physical gifts as a comedian, in the scene where he dances with Lauren Hutton, the vampire who wants to devour him, and Karen Kopins, his girlfriend. Sadly, the film has some unfortunate homophobic humor, and is a terrible artifact from the 80s.

Just watched my Deep Red blu-ray for the first time, such a great fucking movie. Next up is Suspiria and Inferno - I really wish Blue Underground would get the rights back for Suspiria as its depressing not having it on blu-ray.

Spent my day off from 730 am til tonight just watching non-stop movies all day and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Managed to knock out 6 that I had never seen before and then ended the marathon with a couple I haven't seen in a long time in 'The Silence of the Lambs' and 'Fallen'.
Probably gonna get withdrawal symptoms since I have to work 11-11 the nex 2 days. I'll try to knock out one before and after work, but fear tiredness might get the better of me.

It has been a challenge staple for me. It's a fantastic movie *and* has a really short run time. Can't ask for much more during this challenge. Watched Once Bitten, Jim Carrey's first film, years before he was Fireman Bill on In Living Color. You can tell that he has great physical gifts as a comedian, in the scene where he dances with Lauren Hutton, the vampire who wants to devour him, and Karen Kopins, his girlfriend. Sadly, the film has some unfortunate homophobic humor, and is a terrible artifact from the 80s.
I noticed this one while browsing through the DVR guide and remembered it from way back. They used to show this movie all the time on HBO. All the fuckin' time! I considered recording it for old time's sake but thought better of it. Like you say, it's a total artifact of the '80s. Ugh. Now you have me experiencing flashbacks of that ridiculous dance scene. Thanks a lot!

Thursdays are my roughest days because it's the one night of the week that I work late. Ordinarily, I work 12:30pm-9pm. Doing that, I could have squeezed in two just before work. Instead, I worked 11am-7:30pm, allowing me to just manage two for the entire day. I turned off the movie I was working on about 25 minutes ago because I could feel myself dozing off. I'll give it another go after work tomorrow I guess.

Not streaming on Netflix, but google video streams it free.
I thought I was done with French films after last month's Criterion Challenge, but you all keep making me watch more of them!

Was it ever decided if subset choice's had to be watched on their day to be checked off? I think theme nights should have to be on that date but subset choices should be able to be anytime during the month.

Yeah, today's not turning out too well either. Watched one this morning and just finished The Funhouse for today's theme about an hour ago, and I still haven't gotten around to starting another one. Spent most of the day worrying about things and then slept some of the stress off, so I feel better but haven't really accomplished anything. Going to run to the store to get dinner for the family and hopefully I'll be up late tonight getting caught up.

I was going to watch each film on it's exact day, to satisfy both the subset list and theme night, but have decided to get ahead on subset films just in case I'm busy on certain days/streaming expires/can't find my disc/etc.

My 2nd year watching My Soul To Take. This time on Blu-Ray!
Messy film, Wes Craven seems to want to draw a lot from NOES, but does it with the sight of a crazy man. Emily Meade was worth sitting through the film though

Somehow I managed to confuse today's theme of 'Video Nasties' with 'Splatter/Gore' and watched August Underground. I sincerely regret that I'll never get those 71 minutes back. Honestly, those are two of the most obnoxious serial killers to ever grace the screen. And overall it was just plain boring.
On the plus side of short running times, I caught a couple of zany horror comedies from the 40's - The Climax and Zombies on Broadway (shot on the "I Walked With a Zombie" set). It amazes me how a couple of no-budget third and fourth tier films from poverty row studios can be so much fun.
Next up is Lips of Blood.

They are absolutely amazing when it comes to FX (Jerami Cruise is great!) but terrible in every other single aspect of film making.
I'm a fan of the company's work, but mostly because I enjoy really great FX.
