And the winner of the 3rd Annual OHMC Banner Trivia Question is...
Undeadcow. For the 3rd consecutive time!
Clear off your coffee table because you've just won a copy of The Hammer Vault:
Featuring exclusive contributions from the actors and filmmakers associated with the company, this is the most lavish volume ever published on the legendary House of Horror. Includes annotated script pages, unused poster artwork, production designs, rare promotional material, and more. Fully illustrated, most in color. 176 pages. Size 12½ x 9¾ inches. Published by Titan.
Courtesy of...
These are the answers I was looking for:
Sorry, no time to link them to their posters this year, I literally just typed all that out. Also, there was actually 56 as opposed to 55 answers. Slight oversight.
Yeah, the possibility exists I might have gone just a little overboard on this one. For next year I'll try to come up with something that doesn't require hours of research for just one prize. And in usual fashion the next prize contest will be a simple question or two ...an actual trivia question.

Congrats undeadcow! That book looks very nice.
Ugh, I keep unwittingly picking regional/amateur awfulness! The latest community theater production was The Redeemer, which was severely padded even at 84 minutes.

Yesterday evening we had our weekly movie night and sat down for a double feature of The Shining and Peeping Tom.
Afterward, we talked a lot about the various theories about Kubrick's horror masterpiece. One of my friends is a big movie fan and always has some great trivia and thoughts to contribute. I was really interested with the large about of seemingly incidental pop culture in The Shining. There is a Bugs Bunny cartoon, Peanuts decals, a Mickey Mouse sweater, and various Disney toys throughout. However, with the exception of the sweater, these are all set dressings and Danny never plays with his Goofy or Winnie the Pooh dolls. Don't know what to think about it but found it interesting.
Peeping Tom is such a fascinating film. I watched it for the first time a couple of years ago, and it is haunting. I love the scene with the old psychiatrist, and the main character has a certain Peter Lorre quality. Highly recommended.

Congrats undeadcow! I'm curious how many you knew without doing research. I gave it a glance, realized I only recognized The Walking Dead and The Fly, and decided not to try! (I'm lazy.)

Congrats Undeadcow. I didn't even try as I only recognized 2 or 3 images.

Does anyone know if Cassadaga (2011) is as eerie/bloody/sexualized as that poster image looks? Whatever that movie is...

Help me choose my final movie for today: Friday the 13th: Part 4 or Suspiria.
Haven't seen either.

Not being a Starbucks regular I am amazed by their "large" size iced coffee it's like they handed me a half gallon of caffeine for $4.
I took the offspring out to see Hotel Transylvania (HT) and can recommend it. Initially I wondered about living in a world were monster team-up movies were starting to feel common place, HT is like a modernized stripped down Mad Monster Party music video. HT was an energetic party movie that's basically one extended joke with a lot of music, dancing, and vibrant humor. It is leagues above anything Adam Sandler's done previously (which is not saying much) and has some fun nods to horror conventions. For a kid friendly "horror" movie it's a good pick.
Big Tits Zombie, which I discovered in part from the poster trivia contest, was a worthy live action anime style slapstick splatter movie with some cool kills.Suspiria hands down; Friday the 13th: Part 4 is one of the better F13 movies but pales in comparison to the force that is Suspiria. Make sure you eventually watch both.

I would also recommend Suspiria. You will have fun with Friday the 13th Part 4, but Suspiria is a much better movie.
Can anyone think of any made-for-TV horror documentaries? That could be an excellent way of getting those two checklist items.
Oh, I got a little extra bonus. I registered my PS3 to play Amazon Instant Video and received a $5 credit. I'm sure I can find a use for that.

Posted today's blog entry before heading to bed (have to get up early or else I'd knock another movie out). This has been one of my favorite days so far! http://celluloidterror.blogspot.com/...012-day-9.html

this sums up my thought on Colin. I did enjoy the movie but dragged so much in alot of parts. get points for taking a different approach on the zombie genre but isn't a movie i can see revisiting anytime soon
a more slapstick zombie perspective movie i enjoyed that i discovered last year was Ahhh Zombies.
I third suspiria...F13thIV is a favorite of mine, but Suspiria is just an awesome movie and def wanna revisit it this yr

I'm diving into The Loreley's Grasp by Amando de Ossorio, also available on YouTube. Although I haven't seen it yet I'm confident it meets rubber suit theme day requirements. Also hoping to stay up for Humanoids From the Deep.

The disconnect was that I was thinking of the one from the early 70s but there was another series that had him.

I love Cube (1997) but Maurice Dean Wint's performance takes it down a (tiny) notch for me.
