With the kids asleep late last night and visiting a friend this morning, I finally took the chance to break into my Puppet Master box set and watched Puppet Master 1 and 2. Both first time views, and I have to say, not bad movies. Before the only Puppet Master I had seen was the abysmal Puppet Master vs Demonic Toys

If anyone wants to check out a fun splatter flick, I had a great time watching "The Haunting of Rebecca Verlaine" last night. It's not great by any means, but it was loads of fun to watch. Review here.

Black Belly Of The Tarantula has a good amount of blood, nothing like Dead Alive or just endless blood flowing and flying around but it is there, and the depravity of it all fits with the theme.

Finished the checklist and broke 100 today, so all I need to do is coast to the finish line with the one subset film a day.

Thanks to whoever recommended "Uninvited" and "Demonic" earlier in the thread. I bought a 12-movie pack with these two movies in it, and I watched "Uninvited" today and really enjoyed it. I'll check out "Demonic" next.

^ My absolute favorite is Horror Rises from the Tomb. It's a riot.
An undead warlock, zombies, a decapitated floating head, devil worshippers, scantily clad women ...you name it.

Horror Rises From the Tomb is a good one. I got a poor introduction to Naschy. I first caught the Americanized version of Fury of the Wolfman ... and it seemed awful. And I remember being angry when someone at Blockbuster slipped the VHS tape for The Craving into the box for The Howling. I watched The Hanging Woman for last year's challenge, and enjoyed it. It had a great classic old-school atmosphere, while having a take on zombies that I hadn't seen before (they're not your Romero-esque gut-munchers).

Kinda embarrassed to admit it but saw my first Paul Naschy flick today. Frankenstein's Bloody Terror. Enjoyed it immensely, and it never devolved into the cheese I kind of expected from a wolfman meets vampire plot.
Crypts, bosoms, candles, gypsies, two kinds of monsters (three if you count a hyrbid)...what more does a movie need? Well, those are some of my top requirements anyway.
Will be looking into more Naschy very soon. (recommendations welcome as I am shooting in the dark to a degree)

The japanese ones to me weren't as good. or the one with the weird family can't remeber the title.

It sort of is, but looks to be one of those scammy (?) youtube videos that just tries to get you to another site. But I did find it online elsewhere, cough cough.
I don't think anyone has ever mentioned it before, but I seem to recall someone going crazy with it a few years ago and doing 15-20 languages. I did about 12 last year.

I've averaged about 5 hours of sleep pretty much every night this month. It's catching up with me, but I'm definitely starting to look forward to November 1st.

Horrors rises from the tomb is probably one of his best ones. the first couple of minutes just look fantastic. That out of print box if you can find it was awesome for the price. I would also recommend Rojo Sangre, is very self-referential and probably why it was so great. it should have probably been his last one. There is a book out in Spain about naschy that has hundreds of pictures in color and is close to 400 pages. too bad is in spanish, maybe fabpress would be willing to have it translated.
The japanese ones to me weren't as good. or the one with the weird family can't remeber the title.

In a weird coincidence I actually had it once as a VHS...I ordered a bunch of Alphas DVDs (which I never watched, natch) and I guess I thought it was a DVD by the photo or something (at 99 cents I wasn't exactly being picky, this was some Oldies sale, I love their catalog). Being a VHS, I chucked it (don't pillory me VHS fans!).
Got Fury of the Wolfman DVD in that buy too. Now just have to find it in the unwatched pile(s)!
Saw that OOP box set...too rich for me right now but if I really get into Naschy, and I have the feeling I might (I love Hammer and these strike me as very Hammer-ish)....who knows.

Before the kids left to go visiting today, they told me what movies they wanted to see, so my movies tonight are already picked out. Attack of the Monsters aka Gamera vs Guiron , Nightmare Before Christmas, and they wanted to see Mega Shark vs Crocosaurus. They are really enjoying their vacation with me this month. Doubt they look forward to going back to school, hehe.
