Re: The 9th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/31) ***The List Thread
_Films I've watched so far: Spoiler:
|
9/30/13 Sneak Peek: Dusk to Midnight
1) Carrie (1976) - Teen girl goes to prom. Gets laughed at. Burns stuff. Kills people. I'd seen this one several times before, but not in the past decade.
2) Sisters (1973) - Model sleeps with a guy. Guy gets stabbed. Reporter who witnessed the murder investigates. Crap, I watched this one during the '06 Challenge. How'd I miss that?
10/01/13
3) I tre volti della paura (Black Sabbath) (1963) - Three stories: Chick gets threatening phone calls. Boris Karloff wants to eat his family. Nurse steals a ring off a dead woman. This was my first time watching this one in Italian (not exactly a first-time viewing). I think I'll stick to the English version in the future.
10/02/13
4) Don't Go to Sleep (1982) - Family moves into new home. Daughter sees her dead sister under the bed. People start dying.
5) The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) (2011) - Crazy fat guy decides to make his favorite film a reality.
6) Ooga Booga (2013) - Guy killed by a racist cop possesses a doll and seeks revenge. Karen Black and Stacy Keach classed it up a little. (My 1000th OHMC item watched/listed).
10/03/13
7) Reel Evil (2012) - Documentary filmmakers film themselves, and others, endlessly walking in circles through the hallways of an old hospital. Once in a while a ghost or something pops up.
8) All About Evil (2010) - Woman accidentally films herself killing her stepmother, and stumbles onto a way to increase her movie theater's business.
9) The Green Monster (2009) - Man and his wife kill people, then use their parts in magical youth-granting chocolates and magical wish-granting hamburgers. First really crappy flick of the month (but I'll be happy if they don't get any worse).
10) Creature (2010) - Half-man/half-alligator (and Sid Haig) terrorize some young people in a swamp.
11) The Summer of the Massacre (2004) - This one was a huge, steaming pile of shit. I guess I can't say the unimaginative title and the misspelled words in the opening crawl weren't fair warning. Four nondescript young people drive cross country, take a wrong turn, run into the requisite goofball who warns them to turn back, run out of gas (oh, sorry, petrol), and eventually get chased and killed by a Leatherface wannabe.
12) Chernobyl Diaries (2012) - Group of tourists visits abandoned town near Chernobyl, and are attacked by radioactive mutants.
13) The Reef (2010) - After their boat capsizes, two men and two women decide to swim (and swim, and swim) through shark-infested waters to a distant island. I didn't think I'd seen this one before, but the last twenty minutes of it seemed really familiar, so I'll count it as a re-watch.
10/04/13
14) American Mary (2012) - Poor medical student earns cash by performing body modifications.
15) The Beach Girls and the Monster (1964) - Man, his wife, and his son argue. Meanwhile a monster kills kids on the beach. B-flick full of dancing girls, bad music, surfing, and a silly story. I'm sure I've seen this one at least once before.
16) Killjoy's Revenge! (Killjoy 3) (2010) - Killjoy is summoned back, along with a new clown "posse," and kills a few college kids. I actually thought this one was better than the first two (which really isn't saying much).
17) Voodoo Black Exorcist (1974) - 1,000-year-old African mummy roams around a cruise ship, killing people. Tedious crap, with an odd, abrupt ending.
18) The Demon (1981) - Killer kills people. Meanwhile, in a throwaway subplot, Cameron Mitchell plays a psychic looking for one of the killer's victims. I wasn't very far into this one before I realized I'd seen it before.
10/05/13
19) Ed Gein: The Butcher of Plainfield (2006) - Kane Hodder plays the original Leatherface, digging up bodies and killing a couple of people for their skin.
20) Dahmer (2002) - Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye from The Avengers) cruises gaybars and sporting goods stores, drugging and raping, and sometimes killing, the guys he meets.
10/06/13
21) Antropophagus (Anthropophagus) (1980) - Tourists go to an island and find it almost completely deserted. A guy with bad skin starts to kill them off one-by-one. Yawn.
22) The Lords of Salem (2012) - Chick plays a record which hypnotizes some other chicks. Then her landlady and her friends start acting weird.
10/07/13
23) Kingdom of the Spiders (1977) - Shatner vs. tarantulas. I wanted to re-watch something I knew I'd enjoy.
24) Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama (1987) - College kids release an evil imp from a bowling trophy. Scream queen overload with Brinke Stevens, Linnea Quigley, and Michelle Bauer in starring roles. Buck Flower has another of his usual entertaining supporting roles. Another one I'd seen before.
25) Gutterballs (2008) - Girl gets raped at a bowling alley. The next night the douchebags that raped her, along with the assholes on her bowling team start to get killed one-by-one by a killer wearing a bowling bag for a mask. Lots of gore, with perhaps the ugliest cast I've ever seen in a movie.
26) The Black Sleep (1956) - Basil Rathbone plays a doctor who saves another doctor from death row so he can assist in his surgical experiments. Lon Chaney, Jr., Bela Lugosi, John Carradine, and Tor Johnson show up as results of some of his earlier experiments.
10/08/13
27) The Blood Beast Terror (1967) - Peter Cushing plays a detective looking into a series of murders.
28) The Hamiltons (2006) - A family of orphans tries to get along without their parents, and without anyone discovering the two chicks they keep tied up in the basement.
29) Albert Fish (2007) - Documentary about Depression-era serial killer and cannibal.
10/09/13
30) Chopping Mall (1986) - Kids locked-in overnight at mall are hunted and killed by the mall's new security robots.
31) All the Boys Love Mandy Lane (2006) - Girl gets invited to spend the weekend with the cool kids at one of the kids' dad's ranch. People start dying.
32) Shakma (1990) - Pissed off monkey kills nerdy college kids. Mmmm, cheesy.
10/10/13
33) Detention (2009) - High school kids in detention are killed by ghosts.
34) Detention (2011) - A couple of kids are killed. Some more kids are sent to detention. Then the whole thing takes a detour into scifi territory. This one was trying way too hard to be wacky.
35) Detention of the Dead (2012) - Really old looking high school kids battle zombies.
36) Cowboys & Vampires (Dead West) (2010) - Cowboy stuntman fights the vampires who take over the movie studio/amusement park where he works.
37) Cowboys & Zombies (The Dead and the Damned) (2010) - After a green glowing meteorite turns townspeople into zombies, a bounty hunter and his Indian captive join together to battle their common enemy.
38) Eyes of Fire (1984) - Group of settlers see a bunch of weird shit in the woods.
10/11/13
39) La Lengua Asesina (Killer Tongue) (1996) - Glowing chunk off a meteorite causes a woman to grow a tail and a really long tongue. Oh yeah, and her dogs turn into people. Robert Englund was in this, but it didn't help it any. I'd seen this before, but didn't remember much about it. I should've taken that as a sign not to watch it again.
10/12/13
40) Camel Spiders (2011) - CGI camel spiders hitch a ride to the States in a body bag. Then kill a bunch of people.
41) Severance (2006) - Co-workers on a team-building retreat are chased and killed by nuts in the woods. Great balance of humor and horror in this one.
10/13/13
42) The Bay (2012) - "Found footage" flick about people being killed by isopods on the fourth of July.
43) Kracker Jack'd (2003) - Group of kids beat up a fat guy, then later at their house party, some people are killed. Man did this suck.
44) Trilogy of Terror (1975) - Classic made-for-TV movie starring Karen Black in three stories: A teacher is drugged and raped, then blackmailed by a student. Two sisters don't get along. Woman is terrorized by a Zuni fetish doll.
10/14/13
45) Trilogy of Terror II (1996) - Three more stories: Woman and her lover decide to kill her husband. Woman resurrects her dead son (remake of the same story from Dead of Night (1977)). Detectives investigating the deaths in the final story of the previous movie, drop the Zuni fetish doll off at a museum (a good portion of the original story is reused here, almost shot-for-shot).
46) The Ghost and Mr. Chicken (1965) - Don Knotts plays a wannabe reporter who spends a night in a haunted house. Another one I've seen several times before and never tire of revisiting.
10/15/13
47) Killer Party (1986) - This starts out as a goofy '80s college comedy, with a death or two thrown in, but in the last act it takes a quick turn into freakytown. A surprisingly good movie that I'd never heard of.
48) Exit Humanity (2011) - Civil War veteran battles zombies.
49) War of the Dead (2011) - American and Finnish soldiers fight Russian and German undead super-soldiers (the result of Nazi experiments on Russian soldiers).
50) Kalevet (Rabies) (2010) - Four kids on their way to a tennis tournament make a wrong turn and encounter a guy whose sister is caught in a trap in the woods. Stuff happens and people start dying.
51) Messengers 2: The Scarecrow (2008) - Norman Reedus (Daryl from The Walking Dead) is a farmer with a bad corn crop who finds an old scarecrow hidden in a secret room in his barn. He puts the scarecrow up in his field, his luck starts to change, and people start to die.
10/16/13
52) Blood Runs Cold (2010) - Chick (I think she was a songwriter) goes to an old house in the woods, near where she once lived, to work. She runs into an old boyfriend and invites him and his friends back to the house where a killer is waiting. Everyone in this movie was an idiot who made idiotic decisions at every turn.
10/17/13
53) Psycho (1960) - Classic Hitchcock. Woman steals money and stops at a motel on the way to meet up with her boyfriend. Soon, her sister, the boyfriend, and a private eye show up looking for her. Another one I've seen several times before and never tire of revisiting.
54) The Birds (1963) - More Hitchcock. Birds start attacking people in small seaside community. Yet another one I've seen several times before and never tire of revisiting. (My 1000th movie watched during an OHMC.)
55) American Horror Story: Coven: "Bitchcraft" & The Walking Dead: "30 Days Without an Accident"
56) The Caller (2011) - Woman receives phone calls from the past.
10/18/13
57) Hostel Part III (2011) - Guys on a bachelor party trip to Vegas get kidnapped and tortured and killed.
58) The Car (1977) - Car kills people.
59) The Blood Spattered Bride (1972) - Another retelling of Le Fanu's Carmilla. Newlywed bride starts to tire of her husband's sexual appetite. Is attracted to the mysterious woman who soon shows up.
10/19/13
60) John Dies at the End (2012) - John and Dave battle monsters.
10/20/13
61) ¡Vampiros en La Habana! (Vampires in Havana) (1985) - Vampire scientist invents potion that allows vampires to survive in sunlight. Two rival vampire gangs battle for the formula.
62) Vampires (2009) - Documentary crew follows a family of vampires.
63) The Kiss of the Vampire (1962) - Newlywed couple run out of gas near a vampire's castle. I thought I'd seen all the Hammer horror flicks, but I'd missed this one.
64) The Nude Vampire (1970) - Some masked people perform experiments on a chick who can heal quickly. Meanwhile some other people occasionally commit suicide. Not enough nude. Not enough vampire.
65) Mary, Mary, Bloody Mary (1975) - Female artist travels around Mexico, killing people and drinking their blood. John Carradine makes an appearance. Would make a good double feature with Romero's Martin (1976).
10/21/13
66) Pig Hunt (2008) - Friends go hunting wild pigs and run into rednecks, hippies, and a really big pig.
67) Scanners II: The New Order (1990) - Okay sequel.
68) Scanners 3: The Takeover (1991) - Female scanner takes an experimental drug, turns evil, and passes out the drug to other scanners.
10/22/13
69) Scanner Cop (1993) - Scanner becomes a cop. Hunts down cop killer.
70) The Stuff (1985) - New dessert kills people. I've seen this one before, but probably not since the '80s.
71) The Devil's Carnival (2012) - Dead people go to hell and appear in a so-so musical.
10/23/13
72) Jekyll & Hyde (1990) - Michael Caine plays Jekyll & Hyde in yet another adaptation of the classic tale.
73) Blood Diner (1987) - Two brothers resurrect their dead uncle and start killing people to bring back an ancient goddess. Sort-of-sequel to Blood Feast (1963).
74) Dead & Breakfast (2004) - Dancing zombies attack people at a bed & breakfast run by David Carradine.
75) American Horror Story: Coven: "Boy Parts" & The Walking Dead: "Infected"
76) The Walking Dead (1936) - Boris Karloff is framed for murder and sent to the chair. Then a scientist brings him back to life, and he goes after the guys who framed him. Didn't seem too familiar, but I've probably seen it before sometime in the past, so I'm calling it a re-watch.
10/24/13
77) [●REC]³ Génesis (2011) - Wedding is crashed by zombies.
78) Rammbock (2010) - People fight zombies in Berlin.
79) Eyes of Laura Mars (1978) - When a serial killer starts killing people she knows, a photographer starts to see through the eyes of the killer. I've seen this one before, but probably not since the '70s.
10/25/13
80) Escapes (1986) - Vincent Price plays a mailman who delivers a VHS copy of Escapes, an anthology film hosted by Vincent Price, to some dude. At least two of the stories were rip-offs of comic stories I've read somewhere before, either in Warren or EC comics.
81) Scream (1996) - Teenagers are killed by masked killer. I hadn't watched this one in a while - it holds up well.
10/26/13
82) Scream 2 (1997) - Survivors from the first movie are hunted by a copycat killer. Another one I hadn't watched in a while that holds up well.
83) Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993) - Jason searches for a new body. I've seen this one a couple of times before, and while it's not very good, I don't think it's any worse than most of the others.
84) Jason X (2000) - Jason is frozen. Gets thawed out in the 25th century. Goes on killing spree on a spaceship. I'd seen this one once before, too.
85) Basket Case 2 (1990) - Duane and his brother Belial join up with a houseful of "unique individuals." Might've been a little better if the freaks were scary looking instead of looking like rejects from a failed Sid & Marty Krofft show.
86) Basket Case 3 (1991) - More of the above.
87) Scream 3 (2000) - Survivors from the last film battle another copycat killer on the set of a film based on the killings in the first two movies. Not as good as the first two, but not too bad. I'd seen this one once before.
10/27/13
88) Scre4m (2011) - Survivors from the last film battle yet another copycat killer.
89) Scream (1981) - People on a rafting trip stay in a ghost town and a few of them are killed. Alvy Moore (Hank Kimball from Green Acres) was in it for a few minutes (mostly wandering around aimlessly through the ghost town while holding a cup of coffee), along with Woody Strode (must've run through all that Kingdom of the Spiders money) and a few other sort-of-familiar-looking unemployed western actors.
90) In Their Skin (2011) - Nutty guy, a chick, and a kid hold another guy, his wife, and their son hostage in their vacation home.
10/28/13
91) The Revenant (2009) - Soldier killed overseas wakes up after his funeral. After discovering that he needs blood to survive, he and his best friend start hunting and killing lowlifes in L.A.
92) Grave Encounters (2010) - TV crew spends a night in a haunted hospital.
10/29/13
93) Grave Encounters 2 (2012) - Film student becomes convinced that the events in the first movie were real and talks some friends into spending a night in the same hospital. I actually liked this one a little more than the first one.
94) V/H/S (2012) - Group of scumbags sent to steal a videotape from an old guy take time, in the middle of the robbery, to watch a few of the guy's tapes.
95) V/H/S/2 (2013) - Two private investigators break into a guy's house and one of them starts to watch his videotape collection.
96) Night of the Living Dead: Resurrection (2012) - Zombies attack people in Wales. The first twenty minutes was actually pretty good, and the rest of it could've been worse.
97) Night of the Living Dead 3D: Re-Animation (2011) - This one really sucked. A mortician has a roomful of zombies in his funeral home. Jeffrey Combs was in it, and his scenes weren't too bad.
10/30/13
98) World War Z (2013) - Brad Pitt battles zombies.
99) I Spit on Your Grave 2 (2013) - Model is attacked, raped, kidnapped, raped, tortured, etc., then escapes and seeks revenge against those who wronged her.
100) American Horror Story: Coven: "The Replacements" & The Walking Dead: "Isolation"
101) The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986) - Dennis Hopper hunts down Leatherface and his family in this tongue-in-cheek follow up to the original.
102) The Phantom of the Opera (1998) - Dario Argento's goofy melange of Tarzan and the Phantom.
103) The Vampire Bat (1933) - After corpses drained of blood start turning up around their village, the villagers suspect a vampire is responsible.
104) Amityville II: The Possession (1982) - Family moves into the Amityville Horror house. The oldest son becomes possessed by a demon.
10/31/13
105) Amityville 3-D (1983) - Skeptical reporter moves into the Amityville Horror house. Stuff happens... in 3D! Too bad the anaglyph 3D on the copy I watched didn't work better. But it had young starlets Meg Ryan and Lori Loughlin in it, so it was worth a look. I'd seen this one before.
106) The Howling (1980) - News anchor is attacked by a werewolf. She and a couple of friends investigate. I've seen this one a few times.
107) The Brain from Planet Arous (1957) - Brain-shaped creature from another planet takes control of nuclear scientist John Agar in its first step towards becoming "Master of the Universe."
108) Freddy vs. Jason (2003) - Freddy helps Jason escape from hell and sends him to Elm Street in order to scare the Elm Street kids, which will recharge Freddy so he can invade dreams again, or something. People get killed. Freddy and Jason fight. More people get killed. Freddy and Jason fight again. Another re-watch.
109) The Last House on the Left (1972) - Two hippie chicks are raped, kidnapped, tortured, etc. by a group of scumbags. Another re-watch.
110) The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) - Pumpkin King, Jack Skellington, decides to take over Christmas. Another re-watch.
111) Class Reunion (1982) - People at their tenth-year high school reunion are killed by a fellow student who was the butt of a prank back in high school. The same story was ripped-off, and done better, in Slaughter High (1986). Hard to believe this pile of crap was written by John Hughes.
11/1/13 Overtime: Midnight to dawn
112) The Frighteners (1996) - Michael J. Fox plays a psychic investigator who exorcises ghosts. Another re-watch.
113) Dawn of the Dead (2004) - Remake of the classic Romero film, but with fast zombies. Another re-watch.
114) An American Werewolf in London (1981) - Couple of American dudes backpacking through Northern England are attacked by a werewolf. Another re-watch.

★
- October 1 -
1. Peeping Tom (1960) ★★★★★ ☼
The perfect way to start off the challenge! The story was really engaging, and overall the movie was suitably creepy. I could see this as something that could easily have been mishandled, but Michael Powell gives it tons of class.
2. ParaNorman (2012) ★★★½ ☼
A cute love-letter to horror movies. This really helped me get even more into the Halloween spirit. It also presented some cool and original takes on the usual tropes.
3. Terror Train (1980) ★★★ ☼
This was fun, but didn't utilize the setting or the cast of characters as much as I had anticipated. Even still, I definitely enjoyed it!
4. Night of the Demons (1988) ★★★½ ☼
The most fun of the day's movies! Though it is definitely cheesy, it has enough excitement to keep your eyes glued to the screen.
- October 2 -
5. Goke, Bodysnatcher from Hell (Kyuketsuki Gokemidoro) (1968) ★★★ ☼
I had been hearing about how insane this movie was for a while, and it turned out to be VERY different from what I expected. Still, very enjoyable and definitely unique.
6. The Town That Dreaded Sundown (1976) ★★½ ☼
Not a bad movie by any stretch, but it did overall feel a bit too dry for me. Also, though I've heard many people say that the narration gave the movie an even creepier feel, I felt it also helped to make it a bit more dry.
7. 13 Ghosts (1960) ★★★ ☼
This wasn't as good as I had hoped, as I expected something closer to House on Haunted Hill. Even still, I really enjoyed it and it definitely felt like it needed to be watched during this season.
8. Corridors of Blood ★★★½
A really interesting story. It would be something to see a true account of the creation and implementation of anesthesia, but this tale is still fascinating. And, as usual, Karloff does an amazing job.
9. The Return of the Living Dead (1985) ★★★★
One of the most fun zombie movies. This is something that I enjoy even more every time I see it.
10. +1 (2013) ★★½ ☼
This movie had a very interesting concept, and for the first third, really showed a lot of promise. But the execution doesn't live up to the concept's promise and left me wishing for a better conclusion.
- October 3 -
11. The American Scream (2012) ★★★½ ☼
A really fun, lighthearted documentary that showed a lot of the spirit of the Halloween season. It really did a lot to show why people love this time of year, and this holiday so much.
12. Sinister (2012) ★★★ ☼
A really creepy movie, though it became pretty slow, and a bit repetitive. However, I was creeped out throughout. On a side note, everyone in that house is an insanely heavy sleeper!
- October 4 -
None
- October 5 -
13. The Funhouse (1981) ★★½ ☼
Not too much really seemed to happen in this movie until the last half hour. I can't really say I was bored, but with such a creepy setting, I definitely expected more horror. Also, it seemed like the Funhouse itself was underused, and there was so much potential for even more scares utilizing that location.
14. Phantasm II (1988) ★★½ ☼
A few years back, I was pretty vocal about my sacrilegious dislike for the first Phantasm, but many people urged me to check out the sequels and maybe rewatch the first movie. For some reason, I decided to check out the sequel first, and enjoyed it much more than the first movie. That being said, aside from some really great moments, I wasn't too much of a fan of this movie, and will probably stay away from Phantasm for a while.
15. Vampire Circus (1972) ★★★½ ☼
I really need to catch up on my Hammer Horror viewings. I wouldn't rank this one as one of my favorites, but it is just so entertaining.
16. Frankenweenie (2012) ★★★★ ☼
I was kind of hesitant to watch this after hearing many people express their disappointment on this one (one of the choice comments was "boring"), but I found it anything but. It was a great love letter to classic horror films, and I actually preferred it to Paranorman.
17. Insidious (2010) ★★★★★
I definitely have this on my "films that actually scare me" list/ Even with multiple viewings, this still holds up. Many people found The Conjuring to be scarier, and while that is a very good movie, I just don't see it. This movie is just so much more creative.
- October 6 -
18. Demons (Dèmoni) (1985) ★★★½ ☼
Absolutely insane, and with plenty of great kills. This was a blast to watch, and will definitely be something that I put on again. The movie itself is a mess, but it's just so crazy that you can't really help but sit back and enjoy.
19. Bad Milo (Bad Milo!) ★★½ ☼
This has been getting some pretty good praise, and I had high hopes for it, but I just didn't enjoy it as much as I anticipated. It wasn't too funny, and the story didn't really bring anything too new, but it was still enjoyable.
20. Black Sunday (The Mask of Satan) (La maschera del demonio) (1960) ★★★★
One of Mario Bava's best flicks. Gorgeously shot, and has some amazing imagery. It also creates amazing atmosphere and feels like a quintessential movie for the season.
21. 100 Bloody Acres (2012) ★★★ ☼
This one had been getting lots of attention, and had some really awesome turns in the story, but I just didn't feel like it really went very far. It was a comedy, and had it been funnier, maybe it would have worked better. Even still, it had some great ideas.
22. Jug Face (2013) ★★★½ ☼
This was a really interesting and creepy movie that reminded me of the play "The Lottery" in many ways. With the exception of a couple misses, it was executed really well and had my attention throughout.
- October 7 -
23. Twins of Evil (1971) ★★★★
One of my favorite discoveries from last years' challenge. The overall mood of the film and the clever story is just full of campy fun. This one gets better with repeat viewings!
- October 8 -
24. Dark Night of the Scarecrow (1981) ★★★½ ☼
I'm not the biggest fan of made-for-TV movies. I've just never really found them to be that effective. But, this is a rare exception. The movie was suitably creepy and the performances were good throughout. Way better than I had anticipated!
25. Deathmaster (1972) ★★ ☼
This was really bad... but it was just so funny! Then it got boring. Probably the only movie I'll ever see where a character leans close and says "I'm so frightened" when she sees people get up and dance.
- October 9 -
26. Teenage Exorcist (1991) ★ ☼
Awful. A terrible story, terrible acting (though Jay Richardson wasn't bad), and even worse, completely unfunny. Not a single joke stuck, which left me looking consistently looking at the clock. Also, nowhere in this movie was an exorcism, much less a teenage exorcist. However, the theme song does pop into my head once in a while. Don't know if that's a good thing...
- October 10 -
27. Return of the Living Dead Part II (1988) ★★½ ☼
I had seen the VHS box cover to this so much since I was a kid (never saw the box to the first one) and was always curious about it. Unfortunately, it was a disappointment. This movie had some cool moments, but overall felt just like the first one. The first one, however, is just so much more fun, and this became kind of tired pretty quick.
28. The Bay (2012) ★★★½ ☼
This was a really creepy and effective movie that used the found footage format pretty well. There were definitely some holes in the story, and some of the subplots seemed kind of took me out of the movie, but overall, I enjoyed it very much.
- October 11 -
None
- October 12 -
29. From Beyond (1986) ★★★★★
Easily one of Stuart Gordon's best movies. I had never heard of it until a few years ago, and was completely blown away when I first saw it. Even after many repeat viewings, it still holds up great!
- October 13 -
30. Mystics in Bali (Leák) (1981) ★★ ☼
An insanely bizarre film with some equally insane visuals. However, the story just wasn't working for me, and didn't make sense, though it was entertaining at times.
31. Young Frankensetin (1974) ★★★★★
One of the greatest comedies ever made. Every time I see this, I find a new laugh. Still as funny as the first time I saw it, if not even funnier!
32. Eyes Without a Face (Les yeux sans visage) (1960) ★★★★★ ☼
I was really surprised just how very creepy this movie was. Everything about it was gorgeous. The story and the characters were all so multilayered, and my expectations were constantly challenged. A real treasure.
33. The Other (1972) ★½ ☼
After seeing this movie, I saw that the tagline on the poster was "Please don't reveal the secret of The Other." My first thought was "That was supposed to be a secret?" An insanely predictable movie that I found to be pretty boring, and kind of silly.
- October 14 -
34. Deadly Blessing (1981) ★★ ☼
This was a really silly movie. Not too much actually makes sense, and I couldn't find myself really caring about what was happening onscreen.
- October 15 -
35. Hocus Pocus (1993) ★★★ ☼
When I was a kid, I really wanted to see this but was never allowed. Well, having seen it all these years later, it wound up being a really good time!
- October 16 -
36. The House of Seven Corpses (1974) ★★ ☼
I didn't really get this movie. And by that, I don't mean the nonsensical ending (which I enjoyed), but the first hour is basically the shooting of a film within the film. It didn't really seem to really lead anywhere. Overall though,I still found it somewhat enjoyable.
- October 17 -
37. Escape from Tomorrow (2013) ★★★★½ ☼
Absolutely bizarre, but kind of amazing. Not everything made sense, but I didn't feel like it needed to. And though some things were very cheesy, it worked overall. One of the very few movies to make me laugh while simultaneously creep me out. Based on the trailer, I was worried the only interesting thing about this would be the fact that it was shot at Disney World, but I'm glad to say there's a lot more at work here.
38. The Uninvited (1944) ★★★ ☼
After hearing so much about this, I wound up a bit disappointed. Everyone in it was great, and it did have some creepy moments, but considering the regard to which this is held, I did expect more and felt a bit underwhelmed. However, I did still enjoy it.
39. Night of the Comet (1984) ★★½ ☼
A movie about survivors who turn into zombies... without too many zombies. I had fun with this one, but it felt like there wasn't too much really going on. The concept had a lot of potential, but didn't really go too far, and seemed to have too many ideas without paying much attention to them. Can't say I was bored, though.
40. Seeding of a Ghost (Zhong gui) (1983) ★★★★ ☼
A really insane movie. Can't say it all made sense, and it had one of the more abrupt endings I've seen, but it was just so insane and fun that I had a blast. This was my first Shaw Brothers horror movie, and I hope more of them are like this!
41. The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires (1974) ★★★½ ☼
Lots of fun to watch. Crazy kung-fu and some pretty cool horror. The melding of Hammer and Shaw is a great match!
- October 18 -
42. The Monster Club (1981) ★★★½ ☼
This was a really cool anthology film. Not really scary, but was a lot of fun. The musical acts kind of threw me off pace, but I got into the songs when they got going. This is a great movie for the season!
43. The Fog (1980) ★★½ ☼
A lot of things really bugged me about this movie. Just, some things with the story didn't really make sense and took me out of it. But, Dean Cundley's cinematography was gorgeous.
- October 19 -
44. Dolls (1987) ★★★ ☼
This was a fun movie, but would probably rank among my less favorite Stuart Gordon movies. That being said, my least favorite Stuart Gordon movie is still really good!
45. Prison (1988) ★★★½ ☼
I didn't expect much from this one, but I had a really good time with it! The characters are developed pretty well, and my interest was kept throughout. Though it was silly, it was a lot of fun!
46. Resolution (2012) ★★★ ☼
After hearing so many people on this board talk about this, I moved it to the top of my queue. It started VERY well, but the ending just couldn't sustain the interesting turn of events, and left me scratching me head with more questions than answers.
47. Crawlspace (1986) ★★½ ☼
Kinski was great, and it was fun, but just didn't seem to really go anywhere.
- October 20 -
48. The Old Dark House (1932) ★★★★ ☼
This was much different, and funnier, than I had expected. Though definitely campy, it retained great atmosphere and performances.
49. We Are What We Are (2013) ★★★½ ☼
I wasn't really a fan of the Mexican original, nor of Jim Mickle's previous film "Stakeland", so I went into this with some apprehension. This turned out to be one of those rare remakes that surpasses the original in pretty much every way.
50. Children of the Corn (1984) ★★½ ☼
One of the movies I'm surprised I haven't seen yet... but it seems I wasn't really missing out. This felt like a weaker version of "Who Can Kill a Child?"
- October 21 -
None

- October 22 -
51. The Witches of Eastwick (1987) ★★★ ☼
This was definitely better than I had expected, but it felt like it moved a bit too quickly and seemed to jump ahead without much explanation. That being said, it definitely did not need to be any longer.
52. Mark of the Devil (Hexen bis aufs Blut gequält) (1970) ★★½ ☼
This was definitely interesting, but it didn't feel like it really had enough substance behind it. It would often allude to so many things that would have been very interesting, but would have taken away from more images of torture. I guess the producers had their target audience in mind.
- October 23 -
53. The House by the Cemetery (Quella villa accanto al cimitero) (1981) ★★★ ☼
I expected something completely different from this movie, and was kind of put off by how slow of a start it got. Overall, it definitely wasn't bad at all, and I could see my opinion of it growing during subsequent viewings.Probably the most tame Fulci movie I've seen, though the killer definitely looked creepy.
54. C.H.U.D. (1984) ★★★ ☼
Silly, but more engaging than I had expected.
55. Tower of Evil (Horror on Snape Island) (1972) ★★★★ ☼
This had the right mix of everything to make for a very good time!
56. Hell Baby (2013) ★★★½ ☼
This was way better than I was expecting, though not as good as I had hoped. Though some jokes fell flat hard, I found myself laughing throughout most of this, and it is definitely the best horror comedy so far this year!
- October 24 -
57. Poltergeist (1982) ★★★★½
This is something I have found that I enjoy more with each viewing. Even though Tobe Hooper is credited as the director, it really feels like a Spielberg movie and makes me wish he would try another hand at horror.
58. Ghost Team One (2013) ★ ☼
Just unfunny. Got boring quick.
- October 25 -
59. Stalled (2013) ★★★ ☼
This had some really good moments, and was overall pretty enjoyable, if uneven. I was apprehensive toward watching this because I feel it's really difficult to pull off the "one-location" film, but this one worked!
60. Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (1988) ★★ ☼
I never really watched Elvira, so while I have always known of her and her style, this was my first real exposure to her. I didn't enjoy the "fish out of water" scenario and found most of the jokes to fall kind of flat.
61. Night of the Demon (Curse of the Demon) (1957) ★★★★ ☼
This was pretty solid, though I wish they didn't show the monster. It would have kept me guessing a bit more.
62. King Kong (1933) ★★★★★ ☼
This still keeps me enthralled each time I see it. There's something magical about this movie.
63. Mad Love (1935) ★★★★ ☼
Peter Lorre has never been creepier. Especially in his get-up at the end...
- October 26 -
64. Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992) ★★ ☼
I love the TV show, but had never seen the movie. I had always heard it wasn't very good, and went in expecting as much. And, yeah, it wasn't very good, but it was still fun to see it as a sort-of prequel to the show.
65. The Cabin in the Woods (2012) ★★★★
Insanely fun. This is something that will likely be put on each season.
66. Apartment 143 (Emergo) (2011) ★½ ☼
This was silly, with things happening for no real reason. It was actually pretty forgettable.
67. House (1986) ★★ ☼
I had been looking forward to this for a while, as I had heard it compared to Evil Dead 2 in the sense of its horror-comedy. However, it was pretty bland and not really exciting.
- October 27 -
68. The Exorcist (1973) ★★★★★
I've seen this so many times now, and it still gets under my skin.
69. The Devil-Doll (1936) ★★★ ☼
A pretty fun movie, and it was really fun to see Lionel Barrymore in drag for most of it. But, I wasn't really able to take it seriously with Lionel Barrymore in drag. Not that a movie about turning people into miniature dolls is one to be taken seriously.
70. Rosemary's Baby (1968) ★★★★★
Another perfect horror movie. This could have easily been a silly shocker, but it creates a great drama around a terrifying situation.
71. The Haunting (1963) ★★★★★
A really great haunted house film. This wasn't as scary as the first time I had seen it, but it was much darker than I had remembered, and also creepier.
- October 28 -
72. Hotel Transylvania (2012) ★★★ ☼
This was fun, but did not really bring around anything new. Overall, it was just enjoyable and had some funny moments.
73. Warm Bodies (2013) ★★ ☼
The plot sounded really stupid, but then the good reviews started pouring it. Add that with Jonathan Levine directing, and I figured there could be something here. Instead, this was just a mess. A lot didn't make sense, and felt pretty nonsensical.
- October 29 -
74. Horror of Dracula (Dracula) (1958) ★★★★
This is another one that gets better with each viewing. After Lugosi, Christopher Lee is the best Dracula. I had forgotten how little he is in this one, however.
75. Halloween II (1981) ★★★ ☼
This was definitely enjoyable, but it was funny how this felt like just another one of the slashers that was inspired after the original Halloween.
- October 30 -
76. Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982) ★★★½ ☼
I really enjoyed this. Yes, it was silly and didn't really have any business being part of the series, but it worked really well overall. Definitely doesn't deserve its bad reputation.
77. Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight (1995) ★★★½ ☼
A really fun movie. It began to lose steam toward the end, but I enjoyed it throughout.
HALLOWEEN
October 31
78. Idle Hands (1999) ★★★ ☼
This started really strong, and began to get less interesting as it went on. Still mostly fun.
79. The Haunted Palace (1963) ★★★½ ☼
This definitely wasn't bad, but its Lovecraftian theme was more promising than the execution. However, there was a great atmosphere overall, and I really enjoyed it. Just the story went a little bit deeper.
80. The People Under the Stairs (1991) ★★★½ ☼
I had heard this was crazy, but it was much crazier than I expected. Felt a bit too long, but really enjoyed it!
81. Trick 'r Treat (2007) ★★★★
The perfect Halloween movie. It just encapsulates the spirit of the season so perfectly. The stories are all so cleverly tied together and well done. This one always requires a viewing during the season!
82. Amityville II: The Possession (1982) ★★★ ☼
This was silly, but fun! I couldn't believe some of the things the characters were doing and saying, but that definitely added to the experience.
83. Bordello of Blood (Tales from the Crypt Presents: Bordello of Blood) (1996) ★★ ☼
After the fun of Demon Knight, I was really disappointed by this. All of the jokes fell flat and it was just overall uninteresting. Not even the opening and closing zingers with the Crypt Keeper were any fun.
84. Dracula (1931) ★★★★★
The perfect way to end Halloween. I watched this one on blu-ray for the first time, and maybe it was because of the fact that I was tired, but it was like seeing it again for the first time. Lugosi is absolutely mesmerizing.

Week 1


- October 1 -
1. Peeping Tom (1960) ★★★★★ ☼
The perfect way to start off the challenge! The story was really engaging, and overall the movie was suitably creepy. I could see this as something that could easily have been mishandled, but Michael Powell gives it tons of class.
2. ParaNorman (2012) ★★★½ ☼
A cute love-letter to horror movies. This really helped me get even more into the Halloween spirit. It also presented some cool and original takes on the usual tropes.
3. Terror Train (1980) ★★★ ☼
This was fun, but didn't utilize the setting or the cast of characters as much as I had anticipated. Even still, I definitely enjoyed it!
4. Night of the Demons (1988) ★★★½ ☼
The most fun of the day's movies! Though it is definitely cheesy, it has enough excitement to keep your eyes glued to the screen.
- October 2 -
5. Goke, Bodysnatcher from Hell (Kyuketsuki Gokemidoro) (1968) ★★★ ☼
I had been hearing about how insane this movie was for a while, and it turned out to be VERY different from what I expected. Still, very enjoyable and definitely unique.
6. The Town That Dreaded Sundown (1976) ★★½ ☼
Not a bad movie by any stretch, but it did overall feel a bit too dry for me. Also, though I've heard many people say that the narration gave the movie an even creepier feel, I felt it also helped to make it a bit more dry.
7. 13 Ghosts (1960) ★★★ ☼
This wasn't as good as I had hoped, as I expected something closer to House on Haunted Hill. Even still, I really enjoyed it and it definitely felt like it needed to be watched during this season.
8. Corridors of Blood ★★★½
A really interesting story. It would be something to see a true account of the creation and implementation of anesthesia, but this tale is still fascinating. And, as usual, Karloff does an amazing job.
9. The Return of the Living Dead (1985) ★★★★
One of the most fun zombie movies. This is something that I enjoy even more every time I see it.
10. +1 (2013) ★★½ ☼
This movie had a very interesting concept, and for the first third, really showed a lot of promise. But the execution doesn't live up to the concept's promise and left me wishing for a better conclusion.
- October 3 -
11. The American Scream (2012) ★★★½ ☼
A really fun, lighthearted documentary that showed a lot of the spirit of the Halloween season. It really did a lot to show why people love this time of year, and this holiday so much.
12. Sinister (2012) ★★★ ☼
A really creepy movie, though it became pretty slow, and a bit repetitive. However, I was creeped out throughout. On a side note, everyone in that house is an insanely heavy sleeper!
- October 4 -
None
- October 5 -
13. The Funhouse (1981) ★★½ ☼
Not too much really seemed to happen in this movie until the last half hour. I can't really say I was bored, but with such a creepy setting, I definitely expected more horror. Also, it seemed like the Funhouse itself was underused, and there was so much potential for even more scares utilizing that location.
14. Phantasm II (1988) ★★½ ☼
A few years back, I was pretty vocal about my sacrilegious dislike for the first Phantasm, but many people urged me to check out the sequels and maybe rewatch the first movie. For some reason, I decided to check out the sequel first, and enjoyed it much more than the first movie. That being said, aside from some really great moments, I wasn't too much of a fan of this movie, and will probably stay away from Phantasm for a while.
15. Vampire Circus (1972) ★★★½ ☼
I really need to catch up on my Hammer Horror viewings. I wouldn't rank this one as one of my favorites, but it is just so entertaining.
16. Frankenweenie (2012) ★★★★ ☼
I was kind of hesitant to watch this after hearing many people express their disappointment on this one (one of the choice comments was "boring"), but I found it anything but. It was a great love letter to classic horror films, and I actually preferred it to Paranorman.
17. Insidious (2010) ★★★★★
I definitely have this on my "films that actually scare me" list/ Even with multiple viewings, this still holds up. Many people found The Conjuring to be scarier, and while that is a very good movie, I just don't see it. This movie is just so much more creative.
- October 6 -
18. Demons (Dèmoni) (1985) ★★★½ ☼
Absolutely insane, and with plenty of great kills. This was a blast to watch, and will definitely be something that I put on again. The movie itself is a mess, but it's just so crazy that you can't really help but sit back and enjoy.
19. Bad Milo (Bad Milo!) ★★½ ☼
This has been getting some pretty good praise, and I had high hopes for it, but I just didn't enjoy it as much as I anticipated. It wasn't too funny, and the story didn't really bring anything too new, but it was still enjoyable.
20. Black Sunday (The Mask of Satan) (La maschera del demonio) (1960) ★★★★
One of Mario Bava's best flicks. Gorgeously shot, and has some amazing imagery. It also creates amazing atmosphere and feels like a quintessential movie for the season.
21. 100 Bloody Acres (2012) ★★★ ☼
This one had been getting lots of attention, and had some really awesome turns in the story, but I just didn't feel like it really went very far. It was a comedy, and had it been funnier, maybe it would have worked better. Even still, it had some great ideas.
22. Jug Face (2013) ★★★½ ☼
This was a really interesting and creepy movie that reminded me of the play "The Lottery" in many ways. With the exception of a couple misses, it was executed really well and had my attention throughout.
- October 7 -
23. Twins of Evil (1971) ★★★★
One of my favorite discoveries from last years' challenge. The overall mood of the film and the clever story is just full of campy fun. This one gets better with repeat viewings!
Week 2


- October 8 -
24. Dark Night of the Scarecrow (1981) ★★★½ ☼
I'm not the biggest fan of made-for-TV movies. I've just never really found them to be that effective. But, this is a rare exception. The movie was suitably creepy and the performances were good throughout. Way better than I had anticipated!
25. Deathmaster (1972) ★★ ☼
This was really bad... but it was just so funny! Then it got boring. Probably the only movie I'll ever see where a character leans close and says "I'm so frightened" when she sees people get up and dance.
- October 9 -
26. Teenage Exorcist (1991) ★ ☼
Awful. A terrible story, terrible acting (though Jay Richardson wasn't bad), and even worse, completely unfunny. Not a single joke stuck, which left me looking consistently looking at the clock. Also, nowhere in this movie was an exorcism, much less a teenage exorcist. However, the theme song does pop into my head once in a while. Don't know if that's a good thing...
- October 10 -
27. Return of the Living Dead Part II (1988) ★★½ ☼
I had seen the VHS box cover to this so much since I was a kid (never saw the box to the first one) and was always curious about it. Unfortunately, it was a disappointment. This movie had some cool moments, but overall felt just like the first one. The first one, however, is just so much more fun, and this became kind of tired pretty quick.
28. The Bay (2012) ★★★½ ☼
This was a really creepy and effective movie that used the found footage format pretty well. There were definitely some holes in the story, and some of the subplots seemed kind of took me out of the movie, but overall, I enjoyed it very much.
- October 11 -
None
- October 12 -
29. From Beyond (1986) ★★★★★
Easily one of Stuart Gordon's best movies. I had never heard of it until a few years ago, and was completely blown away when I first saw it. Even after many repeat viewings, it still holds up great!
- October 13 -
30. Mystics in Bali (Leák) (1981) ★★ ☼
An insanely bizarre film with some equally insane visuals. However, the story just wasn't working for me, and didn't make sense, though it was entertaining at times.
31. Young Frankensetin (1974) ★★★★★
One of the greatest comedies ever made. Every time I see this, I find a new laugh. Still as funny as the first time I saw it, if not even funnier!
32. Eyes Without a Face (Les yeux sans visage) (1960) ★★★★★ ☼
I was really surprised just how very creepy this movie was. Everything about it was gorgeous. The story and the characters were all so multilayered, and my expectations were constantly challenged. A real treasure.
33. The Other (1972) ★½ ☼
After seeing this movie, I saw that the tagline on the poster was "Please don't reveal the secret of The Other." My first thought was "That was supposed to be a secret?" An insanely predictable movie that I found to be pretty boring, and kind of silly.
- October 14 -
34. Deadly Blessing (1981) ★★ ☼
This was a really silly movie. Not too much actually makes sense, and I couldn't find myself really caring about what was happening onscreen.
Week 3


- October 15 -
35. Hocus Pocus (1993) ★★★ ☼
When I was a kid, I really wanted to see this but was never allowed. Well, having seen it all these years later, it wound up being a really good time!
- October 16 -
36. The House of Seven Corpses (1974) ★★ ☼
I didn't really get this movie. And by that, I don't mean the nonsensical ending (which I enjoyed), but the first hour is basically the shooting of a film within the film. It didn't really seem to really lead anywhere. Overall though,I still found it somewhat enjoyable.
- October 17 -
37. Escape from Tomorrow (2013) ★★★★½ ☼
Absolutely bizarre, but kind of amazing. Not everything made sense, but I didn't feel like it needed to. And though some things were very cheesy, it worked overall. One of the very few movies to make me laugh while simultaneously creep me out. Based on the trailer, I was worried the only interesting thing about this would be the fact that it was shot at Disney World, but I'm glad to say there's a lot more at work here.
38. The Uninvited (1944) ★★★ ☼
After hearing so much about this, I wound up a bit disappointed. Everyone in it was great, and it did have some creepy moments, but considering the regard to which this is held, I did expect more and felt a bit underwhelmed. However, I did still enjoy it.
39. Night of the Comet (1984) ★★½ ☼
A movie about survivors who turn into zombies... without too many zombies. I had fun with this one, but it felt like there wasn't too much really going on. The concept had a lot of potential, but didn't really go too far, and seemed to have too many ideas without paying much attention to them. Can't say I was bored, though.
40. Seeding of a Ghost (Zhong gui) (1983) ★★★★ ☼
A really insane movie. Can't say it all made sense, and it had one of the more abrupt endings I've seen, but it was just so insane and fun that I had a blast. This was my first Shaw Brothers horror movie, and I hope more of them are like this!
41. The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires (1974) ★★★½ ☼
Lots of fun to watch. Crazy kung-fu and some pretty cool horror. The melding of Hammer and Shaw is a great match!
- October 18 -
42. The Monster Club (1981) ★★★½ ☼
This was a really cool anthology film. Not really scary, but was a lot of fun. The musical acts kind of threw me off pace, but I got into the songs when they got going. This is a great movie for the season!
43. The Fog (1980) ★★½ ☼
A lot of things really bugged me about this movie. Just, some things with the story didn't really make sense and took me out of it. But, Dean Cundley's cinematography was gorgeous.
- October 19 -
44. Dolls (1987) ★★★ ☼
This was a fun movie, but would probably rank among my less favorite Stuart Gordon movies. That being said, my least favorite Stuart Gordon movie is still really good!
45. Prison (1988) ★★★½ ☼
I didn't expect much from this one, but I had a really good time with it! The characters are developed pretty well, and my interest was kept throughout. Though it was silly, it was a lot of fun!
46. Resolution (2012) ★★★ ☼
After hearing so many people on this board talk about this, I moved it to the top of my queue. It started VERY well, but the ending just couldn't sustain the interesting turn of events, and left me scratching me head with more questions than answers.
47. Crawlspace (1986) ★★½ ☼
Kinski was great, and it was fun, but just didn't seem to really go anywhere.
- October 20 -
48. The Old Dark House (1932) ★★★★ ☼
This was much different, and funnier, than I had expected. Though definitely campy, it retained great atmosphere and performances.
49. We Are What We Are (2013) ★★★½ ☼
I wasn't really a fan of the Mexican original, nor of Jim Mickle's previous film "Stakeland", so I went into this with some apprehension. This turned out to be one of those rare remakes that surpasses the original in pretty much every way.
50. Children of the Corn (1984) ★★½ ☼
One of the movies I'm surprised I haven't seen yet... but it seems I wasn't really missing out. This felt like a weaker version of "Who Can Kill a Child?"
- October 21 -
None
Week 4

- October 22 -
51. The Witches of Eastwick (1987) ★★★ ☼
This was definitely better than I had expected, but it felt like it moved a bit too quickly and seemed to jump ahead without much explanation. That being said, it definitely did not need to be any longer.
52. Mark of the Devil (Hexen bis aufs Blut gequält) (1970) ★★½ ☼
This was definitely interesting, but it didn't feel like it really had enough substance behind it. It would often allude to so many things that would have been very interesting, but would have taken away from more images of torture. I guess the producers had their target audience in mind.
- October 23 -
53. The House by the Cemetery (Quella villa accanto al cimitero) (1981) ★★★ ☼
I expected something completely different from this movie, and was kind of put off by how slow of a start it got. Overall, it definitely wasn't bad at all, and I could see my opinion of it growing during subsequent viewings.Probably the most tame Fulci movie I've seen, though the killer definitely looked creepy.
54. C.H.U.D. (1984) ★★★ ☼
Silly, but more engaging than I had expected.
55. Tower of Evil (Horror on Snape Island) (1972) ★★★★ ☼
This had the right mix of everything to make for a very good time!
56. Hell Baby (2013) ★★★½ ☼
This was way better than I was expecting, though not as good as I had hoped. Though some jokes fell flat hard, I found myself laughing throughout most of this, and it is definitely the best horror comedy so far this year!
- October 24 -
57. Poltergeist (1982) ★★★★½
This is something I have found that I enjoy more with each viewing. Even though Tobe Hooper is credited as the director, it really feels like a Spielberg movie and makes me wish he would try another hand at horror.
58. Ghost Team One (2013) ★ ☼
Just unfunny. Got boring quick.
- October 25 -
59. Stalled (2013) ★★★ ☼
This had some really good moments, and was overall pretty enjoyable, if uneven. I was apprehensive toward watching this because I feel it's really difficult to pull off the "one-location" film, but this one worked!
60. Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (1988) ★★ ☼
I never really watched Elvira, so while I have always known of her and her style, this was my first real exposure to her. I didn't enjoy the "fish out of water" scenario and found most of the jokes to fall kind of flat.
61. Night of the Demon (Curse of the Demon) (1957) ★★★★ ☼
This was pretty solid, though I wish they didn't show the monster. It would have kept me guessing a bit more.
62. King Kong (1933) ★★★★★ ☼
This still keeps me enthralled each time I see it. There's something magical about this movie.
63. Mad Love (1935) ★★★★ ☼
Peter Lorre has never been creepier. Especially in his get-up at the end...
- October 26 -
64. Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992) ★★ ☼
I love the TV show, but had never seen the movie. I had always heard it wasn't very good, and went in expecting as much. And, yeah, it wasn't very good, but it was still fun to see it as a sort-of prequel to the show.
65. The Cabin in the Woods (2012) ★★★★
Insanely fun. This is something that will likely be put on each season.
66. Apartment 143 (Emergo) (2011) ★½ ☼
This was silly, with things happening for no real reason. It was actually pretty forgettable.
67. House (1986) ★★ ☼
I had been looking forward to this for a while, as I had heard it compared to Evil Dead 2 in the sense of its horror-comedy. However, it was pretty bland and not really exciting.
- October 27 -
68. The Exorcist (1973) ★★★★★
I've seen this so many times now, and it still gets under my skin.
69. The Devil-Doll (1936) ★★★ ☼
A pretty fun movie, and it was really fun to see Lionel Barrymore in drag for most of it. But, I wasn't really able to take it seriously with Lionel Barrymore in drag. Not that a movie about turning people into miniature dolls is one to be taken seriously.
70. Rosemary's Baby (1968) ★★★★★
Another perfect horror movie. This could have easily been a silly shocker, but it creates a great drama around a terrifying situation.
71. The Haunting (1963) ★★★★★
A really great haunted house film. This wasn't as scary as the first time I had seen it, but it was much darker than I had remembered, and also creepier.
- October 28 -
72. Hotel Transylvania (2012) ★★★ ☼
This was fun, but did not really bring around anything new. Overall, it was just enjoyable and had some funny moments.
73. Warm Bodies (2013) ★★ ☼
The plot sounded really stupid, but then the good reviews started pouring it. Add that with Jonathan Levine directing, and I figured there could be something here. Instead, this was just a mess. A lot didn't make sense, and felt pretty nonsensical.
- Week 5 -


- October 29 -
74. Horror of Dracula (Dracula) (1958) ★★★★
This is another one that gets better with each viewing. After Lugosi, Christopher Lee is the best Dracula. I had forgotten how little he is in this one, however.
75. Halloween II (1981) ★★★ ☼
This was definitely enjoyable, but it was funny how this felt like just another one of the slashers that was inspired after the original Halloween.
- October 30 -
76. Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982) ★★★½ ☼
I really enjoyed this. Yes, it was silly and didn't really have any business being part of the series, but it worked really well overall. Definitely doesn't deserve its bad reputation.
77. Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight (1995) ★★★½ ☼
A really fun movie. It began to lose steam toward the end, but I enjoyed it throughout.
HALLOWEEN
October 31
78. Idle Hands (1999) ★★★ ☼
This started really strong, and began to get less interesting as it went on. Still mostly fun.
79. The Haunted Palace (1963) ★★★½ ☼
This definitely wasn't bad, but its Lovecraftian theme was more promising than the execution. However, there was a great atmosphere overall, and I really enjoyed it. Just the story went a little bit deeper.
80. The People Under the Stairs (1991) ★★★½ ☼
I had heard this was crazy, but it was much crazier than I expected. Felt a bit too long, but really enjoyed it!
81. Trick 'r Treat (2007) ★★★★
The perfect Halloween movie. It just encapsulates the spirit of the season so perfectly. The stories are all so cleverly tied together and well done. This one always requires a viewing during the season!
82. Amityville II: The Possession (1982) ★★★ ☼
This was silly, but fun! I couldn't believe some of the things the characters were doing and saying, but that definitely added to the experience.
83. Bordello of Blood (Tales from the Crypt Presents: Bordello of Blood) (1996) ★★ ☼
After the fun of Demon Knight, I was really disappointed by this. All of the jokes fell flat and it was just overall uninteresting. Not even the opening and closing zingers with the Crypt Keeper were any fun.
84. Dracula (1931) ★★★★★
The perfect way to end Halloween. I watched this one on blu-ray for the first time, and maybe it was because of the fact that I was tired, but it was like seeing it again for the first time. Lugosi is absolutely mesmerizing.

Re: The 9th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/31) ***The List Thread
List finalized.
Top 5 first time viewings:
Goal: 100
- All first time viewings, unless indicated by a *.
- I'm on iCM: http://www.icheckmovies.com/profile/mightysparks/
- Here's a list of what I consider the 'best' horror films (in no order): http://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/th.../mightysparks/
- Living in London, working and stuff. Not much time for films this year.
2010: 28
2011: 176
2012: 306
If a film is listed, but doesn't have a rating, it means I plan to watch it but haven't yet. Sometimes I like to prepare them ahead of time.
September 30 Dusk
1. Kyûketsu dokuro-sen (1968) 4/10
Review/comments: Nice cinematography and technically well-made, but the subtitles made it difficult to follow and it wasn't particularly interesting or atmospheric enough.
2. Killer Crocodile (1989) 6/10
Review/comments: Cheesy and funny. It's not entirely consistent, but it has some hilarious scenes and manages to avoid being a total borefest.
3. Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (1973) 6/10
Review/comments: Some creepy moments, but the tedious build-up drags it down a bit. The creatures were hilarious. I can imagine this being a scarier film for children.
October 1
4. Monstrosity (1963) 4/10 *MST3K 7/10*
Review/comments: Cheesy and bad, but not painfully horrible. MST3K ep was pretty funny.
5. Dead Heat (1988) 7/10
Review/comments: Really fun. Silly yes, but so much so that it hurts.
6. Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) 5/10
Review/comments: Absolutely dull. The original worked because it felt 'real' and they didn't over explain. Creatures weren't scary and the kid was annoying.
7. Fire in the Sky (1993) 6/10
Review/comments: Not as great as I was expecting, but it was good enough. A bit overly dramatic though.
# Frankenstein (1910) 5/10
Review/comments: Good for its time I guess, and of historical importance, but doesn't really hold up now - especially after many better adaptations. 14 mins
*8. The Evil Dead (1981) 9/10
Review/comments: After begging my dad to let me watch it when I was around 7, I couldn't handle it and started crying at the pencil in the ankle scene. Still makes me cringe. Easily the scariest movie I've ever seen.
*9. Evil Dead II (1987) 8/10
Review/comments: Liked it much more than I did the last time I watched it. Think I was put off by the distinct change in tone. The first one is fear personified and this one is just really funny.
*10. Army of Darkness (1992) 8/10
Review/comments: Also liked this more on a rewatch. Again, I think I didn't like as much due to the comedy factor. This time, however, I found it really funny and enjoyable. Dragged a little at times, but still a great film.

11. They Nest (2000) 5/10
Review/comments: Dumb, terrible acting, stupid dialogue, cliche ridden - yet not totally boring.
12. The Night Stalker (1972) 6/10

October 3
16. Home Sick (2007) 4/10
Review/comments: Lots of cool gore, but a terrible film.
17. Subject Two (2006) 5/10

Review/comments: Pretty boring, but some cool alligator scenes
19. Due occhi diabolici (1990) 5/10

*20. Day of the Dead (1985) 8/10
Review/comments: Liked it the first time I saw it, but loved it this time. Great tension and Bub is seriously cool.
21. Maniac (2012) 6/10
Review/comments: Prefer the original, but find them too different to compare. POV was cool, gore was cool. Acting and writing very basic.
22. Cuadecuc, vampir (1971) 4/10
Review/comments: Pretty, but pointless.
October 4
23. Antiviral (2012) 4/10
Review/comments: Maybe deserves a slightly higher rating, but the story was too sloppy. It looked good and had some interesting concepts though.
24. American Mary (2012) 6/10
Review/comments: Katharine Isabelle is great and it's an entertaining ride with some good stuff. Worth a watch.
25. 10 Rillington Place (1971) 6/10
Review/comments: A good film with some great acting, but varies between being a bit too overly dramatic and a little too flat.
26. The Mole People (1956) 4/10 *MST3K 8/10*
Review/comments: The film was just a silly, but harmless, film. The MST3K was hilarious, pilgrim.
27. Manborg (2011) 6/10
Review/comments: WUT.
October 5
28. The Town That Dreaded Sundown (1976) 5/10
Review/comments: Really boring.
29. The Human Race (2013) 5/10
Review/comments: Long story short; interesting concept but acting and writing were too weak to make this really fun or really intelligent.
# Samuel and Emily vs. the World (2013) 5/10
Review/comments: Too short and meh. Not really funny or sick or clever enough. 9 mins
30. Found (2012) 5/10
Review/comments: Child actor wasn't too bad, but not strong enough to lead this kind of film. Some good scenes (Headless was great), but overall it didn't do enough.
October 6
31. Hostel: Part II (2007) 6/10
Review/comments: I hated the first one, but I didn't mind this. Mildly entertaining, some cool gore.
32. The Butterfly Room (2012) 5/10
Review/comments: Bad acting and writing. Not that interesting.
*33. Stalled (2013) 8/10
Review/comments: I saw this in August at FrightFest, but loved it. Hilarious and emotional at all the right times. A very fresh and funny zombie film. Dan Palmer is a very likable lead.
* #. The Body (2013) 6/10
Review/comments: I saw this at FrightFest too. Funny, but nothing special. 17 mins
* #. Shell Shocked (2013) 5/10
Review/comments: And yet another one I saw at FrightFest already. Interesting idea and not done too badly, but just not overly effective. 12 mins
34. The Machine (2013) 2/10
Review/comments: The first film I've ever walked out on. A gigantic turd.
October 7

Review/comments: Don't like the Godzilla films, this is no different. Boring and dumb.

Review/comments: I kinda liked the comedic tone, but I just didn't find it very interesting or entertaining.
40. Slashers (2001) 6/10
Review/comments: Quite good for a video movie. A bit boring at times and actors didn't have enough screen presence, but entertaining overall and some cool scenes.
October 8
41. Dr. Phibes Rises Again (1972) 5/10
Review/comments: Just dull.
42. House of the Long Shadows (1983) 5/10

Review/comments: Boring and dumb.
44. Madhouse (1974) 5/10

46. Cassadaga (2011) 5/10

52. The Woman in Black (1989) 6/10
Review/comments: Some effective creepy moments and a well-made film, but also quite a slow build-up and not overly consistent.
October 10

55. My Little Eye (2002) 4/10

56. La sindrome di Stendhal (1996) 4/10
Review/comments: Not sure what the point of this was.
57. Undead or Alive: A Zombedy (2007) 4/10
Review/comments: Really dumb comedy. Is somewhat helped by James Denton's attractiveness.
58. Manhunter (1986) 7/10
Review/comments: Quite an effective thriller. Don't remember Red Dragon very well, so it was easy to treat it separately from those films.
October 11
59. Trick or Treat (1986) 5/10
Review/comments: Not much happens, just dull.
60. Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy (1955) 5/10

Review/comments: Too much party, not enough killer. Pretty dull.
62. DeadHeads (2011) 4/10
Review/comments: Tries too hard and falls flat more often than not. Not quite painfully unfunny, but not funny either.
October 12
63. Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982) 6/10
Review/comments: As a sequel to Halloween - WUT. As a standalone film - meh, it's watchable.

Review/comments: Short and sweet, but not amazing. 3 mins
# La maison ensorcelée (1908) 6/10

Review/comments: Not a fan of hammer, just seems to be repetitive and dull.
66. Trouble Every Day (2001) 4/10
Review/comments: The acting is terrible and doesn't convey the feelings needed to pull this off. Largely style over substance and it doesn't work.
67. Dread (2009) 5/10
Review/comments: Generic and silly. Bunch of conventionally pretty faces with no personalities prevent this film from fully utilising the concept.
68. Lord of Illusions (1995) 5/10
Review/comments: Bit of a mess and not particularly entertaining.
69. Linkeroever (2008) 7/10
Review/comments: More of a mystery than a horror, but has a nice sense of dread throughout. Likable characters with a bit of depth and despite being 'slow', remains entertaining.
70. World War Z (2013) 4/10
Review/comments: Melodramatic, boring, family friendly, CGI infested poop fest. A shame that it will prevent a decent adaptation of a great book.
October 13
71. Child's Play 2 (1990) 5/10
Review/comments: Watchable, but feels tired and just goes through the motions.
72. Child's Play 3 (1991) 5/10

74. Gojira tai Mekagojira (1974) 4/10
Review/comments: Typical blah Godzilla film.

76. Orlacs Hände (1924) 5/10
Review/comments: Nothing special, kinda dull.
77. Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh (1995) 6/10
Review/comments: Not great, but it was ok.
October 14
78. Critters (1986) 5/10

79. Critters 2 (1988) 5/10
Review/comments: Pretty much the same, but I thought it was maybe a little more fun.
80. Sick Boy (2012) 4/10
Review/comments: A generous rating; it's pretty terrible. The acting sucks, the writing sucks, it's consistent and illogical, there's no tension.
81. I vampiri (1956) 4/10
Review/comments: Better than my rating suggests, I just found it really boring.
October 15
82. Frightmare (1974) 6/10
Review/comments: Decent film, fairly entertaining, but not atmospheric or fun enough.

84. Multiple Maniacs (1970) 4/10
Review/comments: Just an annoying mess and not fun at all.
85. The Dead Matter (2010) 4/10
Review/comments: Stupid and bad, but it has Andrew Divoff and Tom Savini.
86. A Horrible Way to Die (2010) 5/10
Review/comments: Despite having somewhat likable characters and a cool ending, it's quite dull and doesn't do much with the concept.
87. Twisted Nerve (1968) 7/10
Review/comments: Quite a tense build-up, Susan was likable and 'Georgie' was creepy, but sympathetic. That whistling is catchy.
October 16
88. Peopletoys (1974) 5/10
Review/comments: Some cool death scenes, but overall a bit of a drag.
89. The Brain from Planet Arous (1957) 4/10
Review/comments: Bad and dull, but some funny stuff.
October 17
90. Chakushin ari (2003) 5/10
Review/comments: Very dull. In the way that typical American films use jump scares, Japanese films use creepy people in creepy poses and thinks that constitutes a scare.
91. I Saw What You Did (1965) 6/10
Review/comments: Decently entertaining, though a little too simple.
92. De dødes tjern (1958) 5/10
Review/comments: Looks good and is well-made, but is not particularly creepy or entertaining.
93. Dead of Winter (1987) 6/10

October 18
94. The Suckling (1990) 5/10
Review/comments: Not as bad as it should be. Some cool scenes, though mostly pretty boring.
95. Barn of the Blood Llama (1997) 3/10
Review/comments: What. Seriously, what. I don't even. What.
96. Night of the Lepus (1972) 4/10
Review/comments: Ok, it's not a bad watch because it's pretty funny and entertaining, but it also makes me want to cry.
97. Mumsy, Nanny, Sonny & Girly (1970) 8/10
Review/comments: Really great. Weird, but lots of tension and fun to watch.
October 19
98. Valkoinen peura (1952) 3/10
Review/comments: A crappy mess of a film that apparently gets away with it because the visuals are sort of pretty and there's pretty snow.
99. Frogs (1972) 4/10
Review/comments: Pretty dull. Frogs just aren't scary, dudes.
100. El caníbal (1980) 4/10

108. Saw 3D (2010) 5/10

Review/comments: What.
110. Winterbeast (1991) 4/10

Review/comments: Pretty funny. Also impressed with Pegg's Australian accent. 25 mins

Review/comments: A decent watch, but not particularly memorable.
114. The Sender (1982) 6/10

115. Mirror Mirror (1990) 5/10
Review/comments: Found it a bit annoying and dull.
116. Bakjwi (2009) 4/10

Review/comments: Music was sort of cool, and I liked some of the wtf moments, but overall boring.
120. The Birthday (2004) 4/10

122. Saint Ange (2004) 4/10
Review/comments: Stupid.

October 25
136. Silent House (2011) 6/10
Review/comments: Fairly creepy and atmospheric with a good performance by Elizabeth Olsen, but unravels towards the end.
137. The Hole (2001) 5/10
Review/comments: Shallow and dumb, yet watchable. Doesn't really know what it wants to be, and doesn't really succeed at anything.
138. Livide (2011) 4/10
Review/comments: Just boring.
139. Scrapbook (2000) 4/10
Review/comments: Bad, but not absolutely terrible (though very close). Ultimately pointless and exploitative without giving me reason to care about any of it.
October 26
140. Halloween 5 (1989) 4/10
Review/comments: Jamie Lloyd is the worst lead character of a slasher ever. The entire dialogue of this film was "TINA!!!!"
141. Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995) 4/10

Review/comments: Pretty boring.
143. Soulmate (2013) 5/10
Review/comments: Similar to The Ghost and Mrs Muir, without the charm. Script is crappy, leads are decent, supportings are awful.
144. Patrick (2013) 5/10
Review/comments: Plays out like a generic slasher. Some decent performances help, the pain inducing CGI does not.
October 27
145. Hexen bis aufs Blut gequält (1970) 6/10
Review/comments: Good for the wrong reasons. Hilarious stuff, but the violence is not as bad as the hype would have you below and it's cheap trash.
146. Discopathe (2013) 4/10
Review/comments: Great 70s and feel and look and soundtrack, and good performance from the lead, but it made no sense and it wasn't hammy enough.
147. Blutgletscher (2013) 5/10
Review/comments: Rip-off of The Thing, with a cool concept, but lacks tension and also uses shaky cam to hide the monsters when they really needed to be seen.
148. Nothing Left to Fear (2013) 5/10
Review/comments: Some creepy bits, but pretty much a generic film with not-great CGI.
149. The Dark Hours (2005) 6/10

150. Nekromantik 2 (1991) 5/10
Review/comments: Not as fun as the first one, though it has some nice gory corpse-y bits.
*151. Freak Out (2004) 7/10 With commentary
Review/comments: The film itself is a fun low-budget horror comedy, and the commentary was a lot of fun as well.
152. Perfect Blue (1997) 6/10

Review/comments: Found it really boring.
156. I Spit on Your Grave (2010) 5/10

Review/comments: Pretty boring as well. Few good scenes, but overall a weird vibe.
# Ghosts (1997) 5/10

Review/comments: Melodramatic, terrible over-acting and lacks focus.

Review/comments: Fun little short. 8 mins
October 31
176. Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998) 6/10
Review/comments: Despite being a standard 90s teen slasher, it's the most entertaining of the series.
177. Halloween: Resurrection (2002) 4/10
Review/comments: And followed up with the worst of the series. Terrible end to the franchise.
178. Hands of the Ripper (1971) 5/10
Review/comments: Yawn.
179. Noroi (2005) 6/10
Review/comments: Good film, but I never really got totally into it or found it that scary.
180. Yi boh lai beng duk (1996) 5/10
Review/comments: Odd, but not that good.
181. Bat sin fan dim ji yan yuk cha siu bau (1993) 5/10
Review/comments: Disappointing. Found it very boring.
*182. The Blair Witch Project (1999) 8/10

September 30 Dusk
1. Kyûketsu dokuro-sen (1968) 4/10
Review/comments: Nice cinematography and technically well-made, but the subtitles made it difficult to follow and it wasn't particularly interesting or atmospheric enough.
2. Killer Crocodile (1989) 6/10
Review/comments: Cheesy and funny. It's not entirely consistent, but it has some hilarious scenes and manages to avoid being a total borefest.
3. Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (1973) 6/10
Review/comments: Some creepy moments, but the tedious build-up drags it down a bit. The creatures were hilarious. I can imagine this being a scarier film for children.
October 1
4. Monstrosity (1963) 4/10 *MST3K 7/10*
Review/comments: Cheesy and bad, but not painfully horrible. MST3K ep was pretty funny.
5. Dead Heat (1988) 7/10
Review/comments: Really fun. Silly yes, but so much so that it hurts.
6. Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) 5/10
Review/comments: Absolutely dull. The original worked because it felt 'real' and they didn't over explain. Creatures weren't scary and the kid was annoying.
7. Fire in the Sky (1993) 6/10
Review/comments: Not as great as I was expecting, but it was good enough. A bit overly dramatic though.
# Frankenstein (1910) 5/10
Review/comments: Good for its time I guess, and of historical importance, but doesn't really hold up now - especially after many better adaptations. 14 mins
*8. The Evil Dead (1981) 9/10
Review/comments: After begging my dad to let me watch it when I was around 7, I couldn't handle it and started crying at the pencil in the ankle scene. Still makes me cringe. Easily the scariest movie I've ever seen.
*9. Evil Dead II (1987) 8/10
Review/comments: Liked it much more than I did the last time I watched it. Think I was put off by the distinct change in tone. The first one is fear personified and this one is just really funny.
*10. Army of Darkness (1992) 8/10
Review/comments: Also liked this more on a rewatch. Again, I think I didn't like as much due to the comedy factor. This time, however, I found it really funny and enjoyable. Dragged a little at times, but still a great film.
October 2
11. They Nest (2000) 5/10
Review/comments: Dumb, terrible acting, stupid dialogue, cliche ridden - yet not totally boring.
12. The Night Stalker (1972) 6/10
Review/comments: A bit too noir-ish and talky for my taste, but decent.
13. Daughter of Darkness (1990) 5/10
Review/comments: It was ok, but just dull.
14. Zombiegeddon (2003) 5/10
Review/comments: Weird as balls and kinda pointless, but had some funny moments, though also a lot of boring ones.
15. Subspecies (1991) 4/10
Review/comments: What the hell was this? So stupid.
October 3
16. Home Sick (2007) 4/10
Review/comments: Lots of cool gore, but a terrible film.
17. Subject Two (2006) 5/10
Review/comments: Interesting concept, but writing and acting weren't strong enough. Also was dragged out too long.
18. Il fiume del grande caimano (1979) 5/10
Review/comments: Pretty boring, but some cool alligator scenes
19. Due occhi diabolici (1990) 5/10
Review/comments: Pretty dull as well. Not a fan of The Black Cat story. Harvey Keitel is awesome though.
*20. Day of the Dead (1985) 8/10
Review/comments: Liked it the first time I saw it, but loved it this time. Great tension and Bub is seriously cool.
21. Maniac (2012) 6/10
Review/comments: Prefer the original, but find them too different to compare. POV was cool, gore was cool. Acting and writing very basic.
22. Cuadecuc, vampir (1971) 4/10
Review/comments: Pretty, but pointless.
October 4
23. Antiviral (2012) 4/10
Review/comments: Maybe deserves a slightly higher rating, but the story was too sloppy. It looked good and had some interesting concepts though.
24. American Mary (2012) 6/10
Review/comments: Katharine Isabelle is great and it's an entertaining ride with some good stuff. Worth a watch.
25. 10 Rillington Place (1971) 6/10
Review/comments: A good film with some great acting, but varies between being a bit too overly dramatic and a little too flat.
26. The Mole People (1956) 4/10 *MST3K 8/10*
Review/comments: The film was just a silly, but harmless, film. The MST3K was hilarious, pilgrim.
27. Manborg (2011) 6/10
Review/comments: WUT.
October 5
28. The Town That Dreaded Sundown (1976) 5/10
Review/comments: Really boring.
29. The Human Race (2013) 5/10
Review/comments: Long story short; interesting concept but acting and writing were too weak to make this really fun or really intelligent.
# Samuel and Emily vs. the World (2013) 5/10
Review/comments: Too short and meh. Not really funny or sick or clever enough. 9 mins
30. Found (2012) 5/10
Review/comments: Child actor wasn't too bad, but not strong enough to lead this kind of film. Some good scenes (Headless was great), but overall it didn't do enough.
October 6
31. Hostel: Part II (2007) 6/10
Review/comments: I hated the first one, but I didn't mind this. Mildly entertaining, some cool gore.
32. The Butterfly Room (2012) 5/10
Review/comments: Bad acting and writing. Not that interesting.
*33. Stalled (2013) 8/10
Review/comments: I saw this in August at FrightFest, but loved it. Hilarious and emotional at all the right times. A very fresh and funny zombie film. Dan Palmer is a very likable lead.
* #. The Body (2013) 6/10
Review/comments: I saw this at FrightFest too. Funny, but nothing special. 17 mins
* #. Shell Shocked (2013) 5/10
Review/comments: And yet another one I saw at FrightFest already. Interesting idea and not done too badly, but just not overly effective. 12 mins
34. The Machine (2013) 2/10
Review/comments: The first film I've ever walked out on. A gigantic turd.
October 7
35. Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama (1988) 4/10
Review/comments: Some funny bits, but mostly boring.
36. The Ghost Ship (1943) 4/10

Review/comments: Ok, but nothing special.
38. Daikaijû kûchûsen: Gamera tai Gyaosu (1967) 4/10
Review/comments: Don't like the Godzilla films, this is no different. Boring and dumb.
39. Doctor X (1932) 5/10
Review/comments: I kinda liked the comedic tone, but I just didn't find it very interesting or entertaining.
40. Slashers (2001) 6/10
Review/comments: Quite good for a video movie. A bit boring at times and actors didn't have enough screen presence, but entertaining overall and some cool scenes.
October 8
41. Dr. Phibes Rises Again (1972) 5/10
Review/comments: Just dull.
42. House of the Long Shadows (1983) 5/10
Review/comments: Sounded like it would be fun, but aside from having some amusing moments, was mostly a drag.
43. Invaders from Mars (1986) 4/10
Review/comments: Boring and dumb.
44. Madhouse (1974) 5/10
Review/comments: Another mediocrity.
45. Garden of the Dead (1972) 3/10
Review/comments: Urgh, I don't even know what the hell this was.
46. Cassadaga (2011) 5/10
Review/comments: Some ineffective jump scares, too much talking and the mystery isn't that interesting.
October 9
47. Link (1986) 6/10
Review/comments: Creepy monkeys, cool soundtrack, entertaining.
48. La horripilante bestia humana (1969) 4/10
Review/comments: Dumb, but has some hilarious stuff.
49. Frostbiten (2006) 5/10
Review/comments: Pretty dull, though watchable.
50. Messiah of Evil (1973) 4/10
Review/comments: Boring and annoying for the most part, with some interesting scenes.
51. Gokudô kyôfu dai-gekijô: Gozu (2003) 5/10
Review/comments: Not as bizarre as everyone says, though it has some interesting scenes. Overall a jumbled, dull mess.
52. The Woman in Black (1989) 6/10
Review/comments: Some effective creepy moments and a well-made film, but also quite a slow build-up and not overly consistent.
October 10
53. The Manitou (1978) 6/10
Review/comments: Odd and a dumb climax, but mostly entertaining.
54. Le pacte des loups (2001) 5/10
Review/comments: Pretty, but boring.
55. My Little Eye (2002) 4/10
Review/comments: Boring with uninteresting characters and story.
56. La sindrome di Stendhal (1996) 4/10
Review/comments: Not sure what the point of this was.
57. Undead or Alive: A Zombedy (2007) 4/10
Review/comments: Really dumb comedy. Is somewhat helped by James Denton's attractiveness.
58. Manhunter (1986) 7/10
Review/comments: Quite an effective thriller. Don't remember Red Dragon very well, so it was easy to treat it separately from those films.
October 11
59. Trick or Treat (1986) 5/10
Review/comments: Not much happens, just dull.
60. Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy (1955) 5/10
Review/comments: Neither funny nor painful.
61. Killer Party (1986) 5/10
Review/comments: Too much party, not enough killer. Pretty dull.
62. DeadHeads (2011) 4/10
Review/comments: Tries too hard and falls flat more often than not. Not quite painfully unfunny, but not funny either.
October 12
63. Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982) 6/10
Review/comments: As a sequel to Halloween - WUT. As a standalone film - meh, it's watchable.
# Le manoir du diable (1896) 6/10
Review/comments: Short and sweet, but not amazing. 3 mins
# La maison ensorcelée (1908) 6/10
Review/comments: Well done, but not particularly fun. 6 mins
64. Curtains (1983) 6/10
Review/comments: Decent slasher, but lacks tension and gore.
65. Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell (1973) 5/10
Review/comments: Not a fan of hammer, just seems to be repetitive and dull.
66. Trouble Every Day (2001) 4/10
Review/comments: The acting is terrible and doesn't convey the feelings needed to pull this off. Largely style over substance and it doesn't work.
67. Dread (2009) 5/10
Review/comments: Generic and silly. Bunch of conventionally pretty faces with no personalities prevent this film from fully utilising the concept.
68. Lord of Illusions (1995) 5/10
Review/comments: Bit of a mess and not particularly entertaining.
69. Linkeroever (2008) 7/10
Review/comments: More of a mystery than a horror, but has a nice sense of dread throughout. Likable characters with a bit of depth and despite being 'slow', remains entertaining.
70. World War Z (2013) 4/10
Review/comments: Melodramatic, boring, family friendly, CGI infested poop fest. A shame that it will prevent a decent adaptation of a great book.
October 13
71. Child's Play 2 (1990) 5/10
Review/comments: Watchable, but feels tired and just goes through the motions.
72. Child's Play 3 (1991) 5/10
Review/comments: Really dumb, but somehow a little entertaining.
73. Inhyeongsa (2004) 5/10
Review/comments: Not too bad, but boring.
74. Gojira tai Mekagojira (1974) 4/10
Review/comments: Typical blah Godzilla film.
75. Mad Monster Party? (1967) 6/10
Review/comments: Sorta fun, but not really my thing. Might work better for kids.
76. Orlacs Hände (1924) 5/10
Review/comments: Nothing special, kinda dull.
77. Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh (1995) 6/10
Review/comments: Not great, but it was ok.
October 14
78. Critters (1986) 5/10
Review/comments: A bit dull, but sort of ok.
79. Critters 2 (1988) 5/10
Review/comments: Pretty much the same, but I thought it was maybe a little more fun.
80. Sick Boy (2012) 4/10
Review/comments: A generous rating; it's pretty terrible. The acting sucks, the writing sucks, it's consistent and illogical, there's no tension.
81. I vampiri (1956) 4/10
Review/comments: Better than my rating suggests, I just found it really boring.
October 15
82. Frightmare (1974) 6/10
Review/comments: Decent film, fairly entertaining, but not atmospheric or fun enough.
83. The Reflecting Skin (1990) 5/10
Review/comments: Pretty dull and pointless, with a few interesting ideas. Cheesy and melodramatic.
84. Multiple Maniacs (1970) 4/10
Review/comments: Just an annoying mess and not fun at all.
85. The Dead Matter (2010) 4/10
Review/comments: Stupid and bad, but it has Andrew Divoff and Tom Savini.
86. A Horrible Way to Die (2010) 5/10
Review/comments: Despite having somewhat likable characters and a cool ending, it's quite dull and doesn't do much with the concept.
87. Twisted Nerve (1968) 7/10
Review/comments: Quite a tense build-up, Susan was likable and 'Georgie' was creepy, but sympathetic. That whistling is catchy.
October 16
88. Peopletoys (1974) 5/10
Review/comments: Some cool death scenes, but overall a bit of a drag.
89. The Brain from Planet Arous (1957) 4/10
Review/comments: Bad and dull, but some funny stuff.
October 17
90. Chakushin ari (2003) 5/10
Review/comments: Very dull. In the way that typical American films use jump scares, Japanese films use creepy people in creepy poses and thinks that constitutes a scare.
91. I Saw What You Did (1965) 6/10
Review/comments: Decently entertaining, though a little too simple.
92. De dødes tjern (1958) 5/10
Review/comments: Looks good and is well-made, but is not particularly creepy or entertaining.
93. Dead of Winter (1987) 6/10
Review/comments: Some tense moments and it's quite fun, but it does drag a little. Mary Steenburgen is a likable heroine.
October 18
94. The Suckling (1990) 5/10
Review/comments: Not as bad as it should be. Some cool scenes, though mostly pretty boring.
95. Barn of the Blood Llama (1997) 3/10
Review/comments: What. Seriously, what. I don't even. What.
96. Night of the Lepus (1972) 4/10
Review/comments: Ok, it's not a bad watch because it's pretty funny and entertaining, but it also makes me want to cry.
97. Mumsy, Nanny, Sonny & Girly (1970) 8/10
Review/comments: Really great. Weird, but lots of tension and fun to watch.
October 19
98. Valkoinen peura (1952) 3/10
Review/comments: A crappy mess of a film that apparently gets away with it because the visuals are sort of pretty and there's pretty snow.
99. Frogs (1972) 4/10
Review/comments: Pretty dull. Frogs just aren't scary, dudes.
100. El caníbal (1980) 4/10
Review/comments: The dubbing was hilarious, but the film was mostly boring.
101. Katakuri-ke no kôfuku (2001) 5/10
Review/comments: Meh.
102. Demons of the Mind (1972) 5/10
Review/comments: Also meh.
103. Desperate Living (1977) 4/10
Review/comments: Stupid, not funny or enjoyable.
104. Mute Witness (1994) 7/10
Review/comments: Very intense ride. Lead actress was likable and easy to root for.
October 20
105. The Return of the Vampire (1944) 4/10
Review/comments: Urgh, so dumb.
106. Saw VI (2009) 5/10
Review/comments: Some cool deaths, not much else going on.
#107. Aftermath (1994) 5/10
Review/comments: There are better corpse-screwing films. 30 mins
108. Saw 3D (2010) 5/10
Review/comments: Continues to undermine the whole point of the first one, but again, some cool deaths.
109. The Blood on Satan's Claw (1971) 4/10
Review/comments: What.
110. Winterbeast (1991) 4/10
Review/comments: WHAT. What in the name of holy hell was this.
111. Shadow of the Vampire (2000) 6/10
Review/comments: Good performances and interesting, but not immensely entertaining.
112. Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988) 4/10
Review/comments: Stupid.
# Danger! 50,000 Zombies! (2004) 7/10
Review/comments: Pretty funny. Also impressed with Pegg's Australian accent. 25 mins
# Him Indoors (2012) 6/10
Review/comments: Ok, but there's something off about it. Shearsmith is good though. 11 mins
October 21
113. The Fury (1978) 6/10
Review/comments: A decent watch, but not particularly memorable.
114. The Sender (1982) 6/10
Review/comments: Not amazing, but quite good. Zeljko Ivanek is great as usual and was surprisingly cute when he was younger.
115. Mirror Mirror (1990) 5/10
Review/comments: Found it a bit annoying and dull.
116. Bakjwi (2009) 4/10
Review/comments: Pointless. Most of it is just people having sex.
117. The Stone Tape (1972) 5/10
Review/comments: Not bad, but not particularly interesting or creepy either.
October 21
# Genuine (1920) 4/10

Review/comments: Interesting, but not very well done. 10 mins
119. Rock 'n' Roll Nightmare (1987) 4/10
Review/comments: Music was sort of cool, and I liked some of the wtf moments, but overall boring.
120. The Birthday (2004) 4/10
Review/comments: Director isn't good enough to bring this to life. Needed less comedy, more Lynch.
121. Mimesis (2011) 4/10
Review/comments: Cool idea, poorly executed. It's just boring.
122. Saint Ange (2004) 4/10
Review/comments: Stupid.
123. Shocker (1989) 5/10
Review/comments: Weird and goes on too long. TV bit was cool.

Review/comments: Lots of awesome gore, but otherwise not that interesting.
125. Would You Rather (2012) 5/10

Review/comments: Cool concept, but not great. 6 mins

Review/comments: Cheesy and silly.
130. Bloody Birthday (1981) 5/10
Review/comments: Kids were creepy, but a bit muddled and not that fun.

Review/comments: Well-made, but boring.

Review/comments: Lots of zombie killing, but not much else. 13 mins

Review/comments: Boring. 9 mins

Review/comments: Sort of cool as a fan of the game, but ultimately not that fun. 9 mins
#135 Time to Dance (2012) 5/10
Review/comments: It's done pretty well and has some cool parts, but it's not really my music or kind of thing. 9 mins
October 25
136. Silent House (2011) 6/10
Review/comments: Fairly creepy and atmospheric with a good performance by Elizabeth Olsen, but unravels towards the end.
137. The Hole (2001) 5/10
Review/comments: Shallow and dumb, yet watchable. Doesn't really know what it wants to be, and doesn't really succeed at anything.
138. Livide (2011) 4/10
Review/comments: Just boring.
139. Scrapbook (2000) 4/10
Review/comments: Bad, but not absolutely terrible (though very close). Ultimately pointless and exploitative without giving me reason to care about any of it.
October 26
140. Halloween 5 (1989) 4/10
Review/comments: Jamie Lloyd is the worst lead character of a slasher ever. The entire dialogue of this film was "TINA!!!!"
141. Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995) 4/10
Review/comments: It was really stupid, but I liked it more than the previous two. Still, just bad.
142. 5 bambole per la luna d'agosto (1970) 5/10
Review/comments: Pretty boring.
143. Soulmate (2013) 5/10
Review/comments: Similar to The Ghost and Mrs Muir, without the charm. Script is crappy, leads are decent, supportings are awful.
144. Patrick (2013) 5/10
Review/comments: Plays out like a generic slasher. Some decent performances help, the pain inducing CGI does not.
October 27
145. Hexen bis aufs Blut gequält (1970) 6/10
Review/comments: Good for the wrong reasons. Hilarious stuff, but the violence is not as bad as the hype would have you below and it's cheap trash.
146. Discopathe (2013) 4/10
Review/comments: Great 70s and feel and look and soundtrack, and good performance from the lead, but it made no sense and it wasn't hammy enough.
147. Blutgletscher (2013) 5/10
Review/comments: Rip-off of The Thing, with a cool concept, but lacks tension and also uses shaky cam to hide the monsters when they really needed to be seen.
148. Nothing Left to Fear (2013) 5/10
Review/comments: Some creepy bits, but pretty much a generic film with not-great CGI.
149. The Dark Hours (2005) 6/10
Review/comments: Pretty good home invasion film up until the end, which I found stupid. It wasn't layered enough to work.
150. Nekromantik 2 (1991) 5/10
Review/comments: Not as fun as the first one, though it has some nice gory corpse-y bits.
*151. Freak Out (2004) 7/10 With commentary
Review/comments: The film itself is a fun low-budget horror comedy, and the commentary was a lot of fun as well.
152. Perfect Blue (1997) 6/10
Review/comments: Not too bad, but a bit shallow. I think it would've worked better as a live-action film.
153. Il profumo della signora in nero (1974) 4/10
Review/comments: Yawn.
154. Let Me In (2010) 6/10
Review/comments: Preferred the original slightly more, but not really a fan of that one either.
# Within the Woods (1978) 5/10
Review/comments: Quality is so bad it's hard to see what's happening. Some creepy bits, but overall a bit meh. 32 mins
October 28
155. The Abandoned (2006) 5/10
Review/comments: Found it really boring.
156. I Spit on Your Grave (2010) 5/10
Review/comments: Don't like the original much, and this wasn't an better. Boring, and just pointless. Was rooting for the rapists more than the woman.
157. The Crazies (2010) 6/10
Review/comments: Pretty boring as well. Few good scenes, but overall a weird vibe.
# Ghosts (1997) 5/10
Review/comments: Ok, until the music starts then I lost interest. Not a fan of Jackson's music. 38 mins
#158 Return to Glennascaul (1953) 4/10
Review/comments: Yawn. 23 mins
# Au secours! (1924) 5/10
Review/comments: Meh. 18 mins
# Kyvadlo, jáma a nadeje (1984) 5/10
Review/comments: Usually like Svankmajer but this was just dull. The mouse effect was cool. 15 mins
159. Bad Milo! (2013) 4/10
Review/comments: Childish humour and just not funny. Way too silly.
160. Donkey Punch (2008) 4/10
Review/comments: Boring and dumb.
October 29
161. Colin (2008) 6/10
Review/comments: Started off really good and was done well, but the concept wasn't quite enough to last the entire film.
162. Harold's Going Stiff (2011) 7/10
Review/comments: Funny and entertaining. Not great, but a nice watch.
163. Otto; or, Up with Dead People (2008) 3/10
Review/comments: Aside from that one catchy song, it's just annoying and boring.
164. Carodejuv ucen (1978) 5/10
Review/comments: Boring, but harmless.
165. Full Circle (1977) 4/10
Review/comments: Melodramatic, terrible over-acting and lacks focus.
166. Sien nui yau wan (1987) 6/10
Review/comments: Nice, dreamy visuals and music. Weird and fun, but dodgy subs and my not being totally in the mood for this kind of film didn't help.
167. Atrocious (2010) 4/10
Review/comments: Boring and pointless.
October 30
168. Warlock (1989) 6/10
Review/comments: Cheesy and silly, yet entertaining.
169. Death Ship (1980) 5/10
Review/comments: Boring, but not terrible.
170. Howling II: Stirba - Werewolf Bitch (1985) 4/10
Review/comments: What.
171. Schock (1977) 4/10
Review/comments: What. The humping scene was creepy.
172. Baby Blood (1990) 6/10
Review/comments: Some nice gore, but found the lead annoying and the story was a bit meh.
173. Jigureul jikyeora! (2003) 7/10
Review/comments: Weird as balls. Wasn't quite in the mood for this, but I liked it.
174. Somos lo que hay (2010) 6/10
Review/comments: Not bad. Preferred the remake slightly.
# Genesis (1998) 5/10
Review/comments: Ok, but boring. 30 mins
# Bobby Yeah (2011) 7/10
Review/comments: WTF. 23 mins
#175. Bats in the Belfry (2010) 6/10
Review/comments: Fun little short. 8 mins
October 31
176. Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998) 6/10
Review/comments: Despite being a standard 90s teen slasher, it's the most entertaining of the series.
177. Halloween: Resurrection (2002) 4/10
Review/comments: And followed up with the worst of the series. Terrible end to the franchise.
178. Hands of the Ripper (1971) 5/10
Review/comments: Yawn.
179. Noroi (2005) 6/10
Review/comments: Good film, but I never really got totally into it or found it that scary.
180. Yi boh lai beng duk (1996) 5/10
Review/comments: Odd, but not that good.
181. Bat sin fan dim ji yan yuk cha siu bau (1993) 5/10
Review/comments: Disappointing. Found it very boring.
*182. The Blair Witch Project (1999) 8/10
Review/comments: Not seen in over 10 years. Found it quite effective and creepy, though build-up was a bit slow.

001 - Friday the 13th: A New Beginning (1985) - IMDB - Wiki - DVD
Not as bad as I feared. Wish I was off work so I could have watched more of the franchise. I actually started the next film in the series but fell asleep very early into it. C-

003 - Ghostbusters (1984) - IMDB - Wiki - BD Picked one that my wife could endure. A

012 - Don't Go To Sleep (1982) - Discussion Thread - IMDB - Wiki - Youtube
I didn't. - C+
n/a - pending count, TV - Sleepy Hollow S1E1, Pilot (2013) - 60 minutes - IMDB - Wiki - Amazon VideoNice pilot, but seems more appropriate for a mini-series. - B
n/a - pending count, TV - Bewitched, S2E7, Trick or Treat (1965) - 30 minutes - IMDB - Wiki - Amazon Video I own the whole series digitally due to a price glitch iirc. - C+
013 - Bewitched, S3E7, Twitch or Treat (1966) - 30 minutes - IMDB - Wiki - Amazon Video - Paul Lynde! C+
014 - Salem's Lot (1979) - Night #1 - IMDB - Wiki - DVD - Wow, James Mason is in this! Just enjoyed his work a couple weeks ago in Bigger Than Life. C+
015 - Salem's Lot (1979) - Night #2 - IMDB - Wiki - DVD - I remember the TV commercials for this when I was a kid. They scared me to death. I loved horror films and wanted to watch it, but I'm not sure if I did "in real time" or not. Tonight might be only my second ever viewing actually. C+
016 - Mostly Ghostly: Who Let the Ghosts Out? (2008) - IMDB - Wiki - DVD - Aiming to watch one item per night with my daughter. C+

Friday October 4th

Theme Night - ☑ - Subset Film - American Mary ☑
020 - American Mary (2012) - Discussion Thread - IMDB - Wiki - Netflix
- C+
021 - The Human Centipede: First Sequence (2009) - IMDB - Wiki - Netflix - Been putting off watching this for years, and the combo of theme night and Netflix recommending it after watching American Mary spurred me to finally watch it. Streamed it, even though I have the BD sitting unopened upstairs. Actually, I think I'll just put it straight into my "to sell" pile. It wasn't as horrible as I feared, but I think once was enough. C-
022 - This is the End (2013) - IMDB - Wiki - DVD (Redbox) - A work friend who rented this let me return it for him. I usually strongly dislike this type of stoner comedy, but the horror elements made it bearable. C-
023 - Quarantine 2: Terminal (2011) - IMDB - Wiki - Netflix - I needed a 'Q' for my alphabet game and thought that this would be a first time watch for me, but it seemed familiar from the get-go. I chalked it up to previously seeing REC 2 and this being another of those "exact remakes for stupid Americans". But no, I later checked and see that I watched it last Horror Challenge. C+
024 - The Bay (2012) - IMDB - Wiki - Netflix - Meant to catch this in the theaters. Nicely done. C+
025 - Boy Eats Girl (2005) - IMDB - Wiki - DVD - Another that I thought would be a first time view, but I soon realized I had seen it before. Liked it a bit better this time, but still a poor man's Shaun of the Dead. C+
026 - Blood Diner (1987) - IMDB - Wiki - DVD - Getting my theme night on with one of these horror DVD packs. Crap. D-

027 - The Town That Dreaded Sundown (1976) - Discussion Thread - IMDB - Wiki - DailyMotion
C
028 - The Alphabet Killer (2008) - IMDB - Wiki - NetflixMuch better than I expected. Stumbled on this and figured I'd watch it since I'm playing the "alphabet checklist" this month too (No, I'm not killing kids with double letter names; just watching a film starting with each of the 26 letters)B-
029 - Dahmer - IMDB - Wiki - NetflixWow, expected crap, only chose to watch it because it fit theme night and I was too lazy to get a disc and stayed with Netflix, but this was a really well-made film. Renner was amazing, and the last near victim was amazingly great in his debut film(?). B+
n/a - pending count, shorts - Scared Shrekless (2010) - IMDB - Wiki - DVD - 24 minutesI like the Shrek shorts and specials much more than the films. B+
n/a - pending count, shorts - Thriller Night (2012) - IMDB - Wiki -DVD - 6 minutesNice parody. B+
n/a - pending count, TV - The Paul Lynde Halloween Special (1976) - IMDB - Wiki - DVD - 60 minutesGreat to see two of the most famous witches in history together! B+

n/a - pending count, TV - Jessie, S3E1, Ghost Bummers - IMDB - Wiki - TV DVR - 30 minutesStarting to enjoy this series more than I thought I would. C+

035 - The Last Will and Testament of Rosalind Leigh (2013) - IMDB - Wiki - NetflixBlind watch turns into one of my favorite views of the month so far. A
036 - King Kong (1933) - IMDB - Wiki - BD - Wow, I asked my wife to watch a horror film with me and she said yes! She usually hates horror films, and chose one that's less horror than many in my collection; but props to her for choosing a true classic, and she even knew to grab the BD instead of the DVD. I'm a lucky guy. A+

"We shall see that at which dogs howl in the dark, and that at which cats prick up their ears after midnight." ~ H.P. Lovecraft
*= first time viewing
blue= personal BluRay
black= personal DVD
green= other
September 30th
1. Sleepy Hollow (Tim Burton, 1999)* - Netflix BD
--- Learned: Being a confidant will get you beheaded. If you find a bleeding tree, get out of town.
2. The Ghost and Mr. Chicken (Alan Rafkin, 1966)
--- Learned: Never go into a murder house alone at night. Always check for secret passageways.
October 1st
3. Supernatural
--- 1.1, "Pilot" (2005) / 1.2, "Wendigo" (2005)
--- Learned: Never lie down with your eyes closed. Research the woods before you go camping in them.
4. Black Sabbath (Mario Bava, 1963)* - original version ; library DVD
--- Learned: Sleep with a knife under your pillow. For heaven's sake, don't steal from a corpse!
October 2nd
5. Don't Go to Sleep (Richard Lang, 1982)* - YouTube
--- Learned: Don't have a drinking problem if you in a horror film. Sometimes the kids are not all right.
October 3rd
6. The Lost Boys (Joel Schumacher, 1987)*
--- Learned: Always keep a supply of holy water around. Homoeroticism can sometimes accompany vampirism.
7. The Old Dark House (James Whale, 1932)* - YouTube
--- Learned: Never seek shelter from a storm. A house in the middle of nowhere is never a satisfactory sanctuary.
October 4th
8. Supernatural
--- 1.3, "Dead in the Water" (2005) / 1.4, "Phantom Traveler" (2005)
--- Learned: Children's drawings are always important to understanding what is happening. Demons hate planes.
October 5th
9. The Thing from Another World (Howard Hawks & Christian Nyby, 1951)* - library DVD
--- Learned: Plants can be scary. In case of alien invasion, befriend a good electrician.
10. Isle of the Dead (Mark Robson, 1945)
--- Learned: Make sure someone's dead before crating them up. Boris Karloff needs to brush his hair (courtesy of a four-year-old).
11. Val Lewton: The Man in the Shadows (Kent Jones, 2007)* - documentary
--- Learned: Unsurprisingly, Val Lewton had a very troubled life and career. Lewton used a lot of personal experience in the films he produced.
October 6th
12. Dead of Night (Alberto Cavalcanti, Charles Crichton, Basil Dearden, & Robert Hamer, 1945)*
--- Learned: Ventriloquism dummies are super creepy! Be careful when playing hide and seek.
13. Supernatural
--- 1.5, "Bloody Mary" (2005) / 1.6, "Skin" (2005)
--- Learned: Never test out urban legends. Don't go down into the sewers.
14. Gremlins (Joe Dante, 1984)*
--- Learned: Always listen to the instructions when you by a new pet. Do not put a pet in the microwave unless it attempts to kill you.
October 7th
15. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (Don Siegel, 1956) - library DVD
--- Learned: Don't go to sleep. Don't go to the police.
16. The Mummy (Karl Freund, 1932)
--- Learned: Mucking about in a foreign country can kill you. If someone looks like a mummy, they probably are a mummy.
17. Prince of Darkness (John Carpenter, 1987)* - friend's VHS
--- Learned: If investigating something supernatural, don't go exploring by yourself. The devil is in the details... or the mirrors.
October 8th
18. The Mummy (Terence Fisher, 1959)* - library DVD
--- Learned: Don't read ancient scrolls hidden in ancient tombs. Being a skeptic of the occult marks you for death.
October 9th
19. The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb (Michael Carreras, 1964)*
--- Learned: If someone in your party is ritualistically killed, get the hell out of Dodge. Never go on a late night stroll.

October 15th
23. Scream of Fear (Seth Holt, 1961)*
--- Learned: If you discover a dead body, stay in the room and scream for help. Ask for an ID before impulsively killing someone.
24. End of the Line (Maurice Devereaux, 2007)* - friend's DVD
--- Learned: Never take the subway if you have creepy nightmares about it. Beware large groups of creepy people wearing khaki.
October 19th
25a. Supernatural
--- 1.7, "Hook Man" (2005)*
25b. Thriller
--- 1.1, "The Twisted Image" (1960)*
26. Coraline (Henry Selick, 2009)
--- Never trust someone with button eyes. Whimsy sometimes contains terror.
October 20th
27. The Brides of Dracula (Terence Fisher, 1960)*

--- 1.10, "Asylum" (2005)* / 1.11, "Scarecrow" (2006)*
--- Learned: Don't go into an abandoned asylum that has a gruesome past! Come on, people! Idyllic small towns always have murderous secrets.
32. Rosemary's Baby (Roman Polanski, 1968)*
--- Learned: The neighbors are never to be trusted. Your doctor is also probably in on the terrible plot.
33. The Cat and the Canary (Paul Leni, 1927)
--- Learned: Never sleep with a priceless necklace on while a madman is on the loose. Always check for secret panels.
