But I'm 36 years old, so not like I haven't been exposed to a lot of possible "spoilage" throughout the years. Maybe one day I'll get to it.

Another Lugosi recommendation for today's theme that's rarely mentioned - Phantom Ship. Bela shows his dramatic side in one of the first Hammer films.

Picked up the Roger Corman Drive in collection for 5$ at best buy so I could watch Creature from the Haunted Sea and wow was i disappointed. it wasn't what i was expecting at all. however i did love seeing exposed skin on the monster throughout.
also got to the theater today and saw the possession which like apparition was disappointed in it. I think im just bored with this formula of these ghost stories. I still wanna catch Resident evil 5, Sinister, Pa4, and silent hill hopefully I get atleast one good theater experience in those

Romero's Dawn of the Dead is quite a wild ride! I watched Night of the Living Dead for last year's challenge and decided I should watch more zombie flicks. I really enjoyed the mix of satire and genuine horror. I borrowed the DVD from my local library and almost had a fit when it froze at the most inopportune time. Thankfully, cleaning the disc allowed me to finish.
For email readers: Spoilers Ahead. There's not much I could say that hasn't already been said. Though I will mention that playing a zombie must have been a very disgusting experience. Also, here is a list of my five favorite zombies:
Also, watched The Ghost and Mr. Chicken, one of my childhood favorites. I remember being scared by it when I was ten. I was that kid.

I have tried to ignore the discussion on spoilers here as I haven't watched the movie in question but plan to watch it this month. I gather though that there are different opinions with some defending the idea that spoiling old movies or those that some feel are not any good is acceptable and some saying it is not acceptable. I suggest that those opposed to spoilers will have to concede to those that defend spoiling movies and maybe join a discussion group that is opposed to spoilers. For myself, I guess I will have to stop reading the posts here so if any one starts up a group opposed to spoilers let me know so that I can start joining in again as I am squarely in the camp that does not appreciate reading spoilers during challenges. I just hope that a way can be figured it out to keep this from ruining the other challenge discussion threads.

The Asphyx was much better than I expected, some plot holes but chilling and effective. I had some reservations about the PG rating.
I share your concerns; but only 2 people, a small minority, were defending open spoilers and I think that was just academic posturing so I assume they don't plan on cavorting around ruining more movies for people. I advise you to continue participation and recall your username as I have appreciated your list/comments/participation in the past. The original post was funny but short sighted. Although the follow-up debate has been entertaining and it did clearly established the guideline of absolutely no open spoilers in the general forum (so should ease some of your concern) I'm ready to get back to horror movies. Now off to first time viewing of The Burning.

My unwatched dvd pile for the challenge is quickly dwindling. I think I should be able to knock them out before the challenge is over! Of course this doesn't include unwatched boxset titles

I'm keeping out of this discussion for the most part, but this brings up a good point that I can relate to. Though it may be hard to believe that people haven't seen any SW films, I myself have never seen a Godfather film. Not sure if the million or so references/tributes I've seen on TV and film really are spoilers, but between that and the non-stop dialogue and re-enactments I've encountered from various friends, family, or passer-by's, I really don't even care to see it. It's a film that’s mostly been ruined for me.
But I'm 36 years old, so not like I haven't been exposed to a lot of possible "spoilage" throughout the years. Maybe one day I'll get to it.

And for what I just watched, the reboot of the Friday the 13th series, the only concept for a reboot that I could tell was that it rebooted somewhere near the end of the original series when shit started to just not make sense and it became just a typical slasher with nothing going on in the backstory. At least with the first half of the films, you have the Tommy Jarvis angle, no matter how minor it was, at least it was something. This just had stuff going on, basically the only thing being a slasher fest with no connection to anything else at all. Would have been nicer is they had started with something to build off of for more of a series but what they started with is probably one of the reasons why this new series isn't going to continue.
It did inspire me to bust open my Nightmare on Elm Street blu-ray collection and also my Leprechaun set for some classic awful 80s series that degenerated into abominations.

Just reached my original goal of 200 with Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat, which was actually pretty fun and a better milestone film than my 100th film 
Starting to get a little exhausted from all the films, but the month is almost over so I'll keep pushing through. Helps get rid of all those unwatched films that I keep hoarding away and ignoring as well.

Wasn't even trying to do theme nights this year, but I guess i stumbled upon a theme night pick tonight anyways, Elvira's Movie Macre: Count Dracula's Great Love. Caught it on Hulu, and if anyone is looking for the horror host checklist item, Hulu has quite a few eps of Elvira's Movie Macabre.

Watched Nosferatu tonight. Not a first watch, but the first time I watched my copy. I enjoy the play of shadows and Nosferatu himself is just so creepy-his hands were wonderfully done!
Does anyone remember the film done awhile ago-maybe within the last 10-15 years-where it was about the making of Nosferatu? Thought of it while watching but can't think of the title.

Any news on the Critters retrospective Docu?
Also hitting 75 with Seed People. Working the next 8 days so it is going to be a bit rough working movies in.

i can't remember the last time i got scared from a movie...and sadly miss those days. *i did frikking jump at a jump scare in Chernobyl Diaries if that counts
I been watching a few movies with my youngest niece when i can this month and enjoy exposing her to new movies and watching her half hidden under a blanket through entire movies.
Best i can do is being uncomfortable watching certain movies...so far A Serbian Film is the only one on my list so far this month that falls under this category

almost had another big letdown because of my crap bd player with Stake Land. Luckily after unplugging the player and messing with it, it finally loaded the disc.
