I'm going to attempt to marathon the Halloween boxset I just received. I will probably split them up over two nights because I like to wait until it's dark to watch scary movies.

With all these box sets being released recently, that would make for some good marathon viewing. Just the recent franchise releases of Halloween, F13, Leprechaun, Saw, Exorcist, NOES, Amityville and Chucky gives you 55 movies. Anyone considering tackling them all? I'm tempted to do at least a few.

I'm planning to tackle both the NOES and F13th Blu-Ray sets next month. Fortunately I'm taking a week off and I have 6 days scheduled to work from home so lots of extra viewing time!

I'm retired military, but have family obligations, so plan to watch when I can. Shooting for 100.

Last year's challenge with Friday the 13th and Crystal Lake Memories was a blast so I'm watching my Nightmare on Elm Street set with Never Sleep Again afterward. I am going for 100 too.

I am too, but being demoted at work and having my family stay at my house for a week is going to limit my ability. My wife particpates also, but not on here, and I told her she is going to beat me finally this year.

Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 10th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/
Stumbled on a decent deal at Wal-mart today for you completists out there. I have all the Psycho movies but have always wanted to own the failed TV Movie/Pilot Bates Motel starring Bud Cort & Lori Petty from 1987. The only way to get it has been thru Amazon or other etailers as a MOD version for around 15 to 20 bucks.
Walmart has a new 4 pack that contains Psycho II, III, IV and now Bate Motel. Unfortunately they are all crammed onto one dvd so I can't say anything about quality yet. But then again, I can't imagine the quality of the MOD version being that great either. I already have the old 3 pack that had 2, 3 & 4 spread over 2 discs and kept it since IV has been released on BD yet.
Anyway, the price is $8.88 for the four pack. Here is the kicker though...it has a sticker on the front for up to $7.50 Fandango cash to see Dracula Untold which opens 10-17-14!
By the way, they had several other 4 packs like this with the movie cash with various horror movies (though most weren't rare, were dvds and had already had BD releases) so I didn't pay much attention to those.

No luck with Bates Motel either, and I checked several stores. In the Blu-ray bin I did find an Echo Bridge Horror 6 pack and it was taped to another 4 pack, so 10 movies for $7.88. If just 3 of those movies don't completely suck I will be happy.

Oh, and the fate of the 10/9 subset entry has been determined. BOB was victorious by one vote.
Yeah, that was inevitable.

And if there's anything that needs changing on the subset let me know soon. I've already got the info plugged into the list table, and plan to start posting the 33 discussion threads relatively soon. I did move House on Haunted Hill down a couple spots to allow some time after the Price II release.

Thanks for the hard work, Chad! Nice list, especially because I own the preonderance of those titles already, so this year I might have a shot at finishing the 31 film subset.

I stopped at a Walmart this morning and bought the pack with Bates Motel and Dracula cash. Cable is out at work so I might start early.

So we are to watch The Uninvited twice?? It's listed as the Criterion Crossover and Sibling Rivalry. Might I suggest Eyes Without A Face for the crossover? Also I recall some love for The Island of Lost Souls...

Those are two different versions of the film. 1944 and 2009.

Actually, it's two totally different films. The 1944 UNINVITED is a great ghost story, and the 2009 one is a remake of the South Korean film A TALE OF TWO SISTERS. It's a ghost story, too...sort of. But other than the title, the two films are unrelated.

"The Uninvited" is the most commonly-named horror movie ever. I see over 8 versions of it at imdb.

I know the Uninvited is a remake of A Tale of Two Sisters(which I've seen). I guess I assumed they were all telling a similar story. Why would the American remake discard the Korean title but then choose the title of a classic horror? Weird.

Placed some holds at the library and updated my Netflix queue. Going to do a quick sweep of Youtube and then I'm totally ready to get this thing started.

Mas Negro Que La Noche is out today. Think it was missing from Chad's list of theatrical titles.
