Re: The 12th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/31) ***The List Threa

Brainee's 2016 DVDTalk Horror Movie Challenge List

Goal: 50
Total: 106
First Time Views: 98

= first time viewing

September 30th (after dusk)

1. ☼ American Horror Story: Roanoke (2016): "Episode 2", "Episode 3"

2. Extraordinary Tales (2013): Here's a good one for anyone looking for a short Netflix horror movie. I can see how the animation style wouldn't be for everyone, but it changes with each segment so it shouldn't be a big deal. Poe's stories are familiar, though it was nice to see them faithfully adapted (which most Poe movies, no matter how good, often don't do). And where else can you get Christopher Lee and Bela Lugosi in the same movie!

October 1st

2.5. ☼ The Strain (2016): "Madness"

3. ☼ Beasts (1976): "Baby"

4. Emelie (2015): A bit disappointing given the 93% positive rating on rottentomatoes. The set-up was pretty good ... reminded me of the building tension in The Visit (but with a babysitter instead of grandparents). But it really unraveled for me in the last third. It was as if the director had no clue how to stage thriller/suspense scenes.

5. Goddess of Love (2015): Nothing terribly new here ... a Fatal Attraction/Play Misty for Me kind of story (but all from the crazy woman's POV). But well-made and acted.

6. Mortuary (1983): Pretty decent 80's horror/slasher. The killer's identity is telegraphed rather plainly, but these movies aren't so much about the mystery. Pretty interesting cast, with the "final girl" played by a regular from "The Waltons", Christopher and Lynda Day George. And a very early role from Bill Paxton, whose performance is either hilariously awful or hilariously awesome (probably a bit of both).

7. ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 1-4. Yep, finally busting open that giant Barnabas coffin collectors set and trying to watch this from the beginning. I had only seen some of the Sci-Fi aired episodes in the mid-90's before, starting around the time Barnabas was introduced. It was a hassle trying to record everything on the VCR, and I only managed a few weeks of watching. Though I liked the series fine ... it was just an inconvenient viewing method. Though the pace is extremely leisurely, it's very easy to just settle into the flow of the show.

October 2nd

8. ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 5-8.

9. ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 9-12.

10. Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977): I haven't seen this in so long and I've been saving it for months on my DVR (recorded from TCM) just for the challenge. I thought it's probably one of those that's nowhere near as bad as its reputation (when compared to the classic The Exorcist). Nope ... this movie sucks. When it's not boring, it's just laughably bad. With all the talent in front of and behind the camera, it's hard to believe they couldn't at least manage a decent film.

11. Species II (1998): Breaking in my Blu Ray prize from the Sci-Fi challenge Not a bad movie ... the original cast is back, production value is pretty decent (I have a feeling it sinks badly in the next 2 sequels), director Peter Medak is serviceable. Sure it's silly, and the comic-relief black guy is a trend from the 90's I don't miss. But it moves quickly and delivers on the boobs and blood.

12. The Lorelei's Grasp (1974): Fun mash-up of fantasy and horror from the guy who brought us the Blind Dead series. You have to love a movie that gets to gratuitous nudity within 10 seconds, and features a girl's college where apparently the only class that anyone takes is bikini sunbathing.

13. ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 13-16.

October 3rd

14. ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 17-20.

14.5. ☼ The Strain (2016): "The Battle of Central Park"

15. ☼ Beasts (1976): "Buddyboy". This has got to be the only dolphin horror ghost story ever made [Though as silly as it sounds, it was quite serious and good. You knew you're getting something interesting with Nigel Kneale as the writer]

16. Ava's Possessions (2015): I enjoyed it. While not perfect, I give major points for showing me something new in a horror movie (in this case, a demonic possession recovery support group). This approach made a lot more sense than all the silly stuff they did for Regan in Exorcist II.

17. ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 21-24.

October 4th

18. Species III (2004): Sunny Mabrey is hot. That's about the only positive thing I have to say about this pretty pointless movie. Production values are pretty decent for a direct-to-video movie. I'm guessing the last movie in the series sinks all the way to Sci-Fi Channel Original levels. I'm afraid, but I fear I'll have to tackle it eventually

19. ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 25-28.

October 5th

20. ☼ American Horror Story: Roanoke (2016): "Episode 4"; ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 29-30.

21. ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 31-34.

October 6th

22. ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 35-38.

23. ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 39-42.

October 7th

24. ☼ Beasts (1976): "The Dummy", "Special Offer"

25. Species: The Awakening (2007): I thought this was a step up from the third movie. Not a great movie, but watchable. Having a competent male lead like Ben Cross helps, and the location shooting in Mexico gave it a different atmosphere than the others in the series.

26. He Never Died (2015): I really enjoyed this. Henry Rollins did a great job with this funny deadpan performance, and I liked the touches of having this chaos of background noise (reflecting thoughts from an immortal lifetime). I didn't quite get one thing about Henry Rollins' character:
Spoiler:
he outright stated he was the biblical Cain, and presumably eternal life (and hunger for human flesh) was part of God's curse on him for killing Abel. But what's with the ripped off angel wings?


27. ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 43-46.

October 8th

28. ☼ Beasts (1976): "What Big Eyes", "During Barty's Party"

29. The Penalty (1920): Is this Lon Chaney's first horror movie? Well, it's listed as horror at imdb ... in truth, it's a straight-up crime thriller. Pretty good, but the industrial score seemed out-of-place.

30. Bone Tomahawk (2015): There's a lot to like in this ... good cast, looks great, the look and sound of the "troglodytes" was really creepy, and the idea of combining a western with cannibal-tribe horror is a good one. My main criticism is that at over 130 minutes, this is way too long for the amount of story told.

31. Deathgasm (2015): Evil Dead and Dead-Alive influences are heavy in this one. This isn't as good as those movies, but it's still fun. And to make the main characters in this movie happy ... THE TITLE SHOULD BE DEATHGASM BECAUSE LOWER-CASE IS FOR PUSSIES

32. The Unknown (1927): Lon Chaney goes from having no legs to no arms ... the guy never did things the easy way, did he? The ultra-short running time (50 minutes) is due to long-lost missing reels. That's a shame because this is really good and Chaney gives a great performance (plus a very early leading role for Joan Crawford). The missing reels sound exciting (with a couple of additional murders) though fortunately they don't impact the continuity of the story.

33. ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 47-50.

October 9th

34. The Zodiac Killer (1971): This movie begins with the title screen saying this movie wasn't made to win awards. Well ... no shit! The murders are unnerving in their casualness that Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer had. But so much of the rest of this movie is some combination of completely inept, silly, and boring.

35. ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 51-54.

35.5 ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 55-56.

36. ☼ Against the Crowd (1975): "Murrain". DVD extra on the Beasts set. Not animal-related horror like that series, but features the twisty creepy style of Nigel Kneale.

37. The Hallow (2015): A pleasant surprise, which I fortunately went into knowing very little about. I thought it would be another slow-burn haunting story, but instead got a creature feature (with a little body horror and science fiction) Once things got going, this was really fast paced.

37.5. ☼ The Strain (2016): "Collaborators"

38. ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 57-58.

October 10th

39. She-Wolf of London (1946): Pretty good movie that doesn't take the expected approach (of just redoing The Wolf Man with a woman). Though I've seen way too many movies to not miss the "twist" coming from a mile away:
Spoiler:
that there are, in fact, no werewolves (or anything supernatural) in this movie. Instead, it's another variation of the "Gaslight" theme (a relative trying to drive an innocent woman insane to claim her inheritance).


40. The Golem (1936): Sounds like I probably watched the wrong golem movie (seeing this instead of the silent movie, which I've never seen either). This was ok ... but it was about 70 minutes medieval drama and 10 minutes of golem action (who had a rather silly look IMO).

41. The Mark of the Wolfman (1968): Paul Naschy's first werewolf movie, which is inexplicably called Frankenstein's Bloody Terror for the US release (despite having nothing to do with Frankenstein). Not as well-made as the Hammer and classic Universal horror movies this is inspired by, but still fun for horror fans with a few effective moments. There's a lot packed in here: the origin of Waldemar Daninsky, dueling werewolves, a Satanist vampire couple (whose interest in Daninsky is never quite explained), and a vampire vs werewolf battle (which was a bit lopsided since all this vampire could apparently do was hypnotize women, hiss, and pose with his cape).

41.5 ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 59-60.

42. ☼ iZombie (2015): "Pilot"

43. ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 61-64.

October 11th

44. The Face of Fu Manchu (1965): And so begins my mini Fu Manchu marathon. Solid movie, and the "demonstration" of Fu Manchu's power was pretty chilling.

45. The Brides of Fu Manchu (1966): A bit trashier than the previous movie, but fun ... with Fu Manchu surrounding himself with chained up beauties in a cool secret lair (which you just know is getting blown to hell in the end). But Fu only has himself to blame, since he made the Pink Panther's Cato his top henchman (actor Burt Kwouk was in Peter Sellers' Fu Manchu parody too).

46. The Vengeance of Fu Manchu (1967): Either I'm getting Fu Manchu'd out or this is a pretty dull movie ... since it was a struggle to keep my attention. Probably a combination of the two. Poorly executed story of Fu Manchu trying to build up a world-wide criminal syndicate ... but we only see him meet with one guy in a cowboy hat.

46.5 ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 65-66.

47. ☼ iZombie (2015): "Brother, Can You Spare a Brain?"

October 12th

48. Nothing But the Night (1972): I know I saw this before, but my mind was a blank for any details. It ended up having a truly interesting story with a chilling and shocking finale. But it took a while to get there, with the first half of the movie going off on less interesting tangents (including a romantic side story that never goes anywhere and an obnoxious "red herring" suspect character).

49. ☼ American Horror Story: Roanoke (2016): "Episode 5"; ☼ iZombie (2015): "The Exterminator"

50. ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 67-70.

October 13th

51. The Mad Genius (1931): Listed as a horror movie on imdb, but it's really nothing of a sort (it's a pretty straight-forward melodrama/romance). Not that it's a bad movie ... it's pretty good. John Barrymore is compelling as the title villain. Director Michael Curtiz infuses the movie with style (as he did with his other 30's horror movies like Mystery of the Wax Museum, Doctor X, and The Walking Dead). This is a great example of pre-code Hollywood, with a great deal of frankness about sex and drugs. And I felt like an idiot not even noticing Boris Karloff's cameo (pre-Frankenstein) since he was talking in a Eastern European accent and his face was grimy.

October 14th

52. The Neon Demon (2016): Having liked a number of earlier NWR movies (the Pusher series, Drive, Valhalla Rising), I was quite looking forward to seeing how he would tackle a horror movie. Overall, disappointing. Sure, it looks nice and at times manages a trance-like atmosphere. There was just no substance to it. I felt hit over the head with the "symbolism" ... and NWR isn't really saying anything daring or novel. I found the way everyone spoke really annoying. Kind of like the sloths from Zootopia. There would be a line, then a pause ... another line, and another pause. When they were doing this for the first scene I thought there was no way this movie could subject the viewers to that for the entire running time. They sure did

53. Tag (2015): I have yet to see a Sion Sono movie that didn't intrigue me to some degree. And that certainly continues here. Right now, he's probably my favorite "cult" director. And you never really know what you'll get with his movies ... comedy, murder/thriller, ghost horror, musical, action, art-house drama, sci-fi. In a way, this hearkens back to his international breakout Suicide Club (especially with an opening sequence that needs to be seen to be believed). And then it gets strange, shifting realities that left me not knowing where we were going next. And where it ultimately went in the end is something that I'm sure I'll remember (and is still rattling around in my brain). My big quibble is that all the CGI gore looks terribly fake (and isn't that usually the case).

54. Eye in the Labyrinth (1972): A wonderful little find: a giallo that I never heard of (and has less than 250 votes on imdb) turned out to be really good. A jazzy score and a sea-side setting gave this a different feel than most in the genre. Not high on body count (though there are a couple of gory scenes), but delivers on the sleaze. And most importantly, it has a really good mystery story. I'm always pleasantly surprised when a movie's "twist" takes me by surprise. In this case:
Spoiler:
I loved how the woman investigating her boyfriend's murder, the main protagonist of the story, actually turned out to be the killer! Very well done, since the movie was dropping clues. In fact, one scene that I was all set to criticize (how this woman idiotically caused the death of a witness to the killing) made complete sense after the reveal (she was subconsciously allowing him to die to protect herself).


55. ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 71-74.

October 15th

56. The Cat and the Canary (1939): 30's and 40's comedy/horror can be a tough sell for me ... usually because the wise-cracking comics who audiences of the time must've loved typically annoy the hell out of me. Fortunately Bob Hope is an exception. His self-deprecating sense of humor makes him not seem like the asshole most of those others comics seem to me. And this is a well-made and smart movie, knowing when to go for laughs and when to play it straight as a horror/thriller.

57. When Animals Dream (2014): Leisurely paced, but I enjoyed this take on the old werewolf story:
Spoiler:
making it a genetic disorder passed from mother to daughter that doesn't manifest until young adulthood.
I think it's best to consider this mostly an arthouse drama with horror overtones rather than an outright horror movie (and to be honest, I didn't think the horror scenes were particularly well-shot).

58. ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 75-78.

59. They Look Like People (2015): A good low budget indie drama about two friends, with one of them suffering from schizophrenia. Not a horror movie, though it teases going there a couple of times. Still, I thought the relationship between the two male leads really gave this movie an emotional center.

60. Darling (2015): Not really anything new here ... another take on Polanski's Repulsion. But it was nicely filmed, and the lead (Lauren Ashley Carter) is kind of captivating with her huge eyes.

61. Baskin (2015): Twisted and gory imagery that unfortunately didn't really add to much in the end. Didn't help that I've seen the
Spoiler:
"it's all a time loop because they've all gone to hell/purgatory"
twist too many times. Kudos to whoever dug up the guy who played "The Father" ... creepy-as-hell, and apparently that's just how he looks (no make-up was used for the movie)

62. ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 79-82.

October 16th

63. ☼ iZombie (2015): "Live and Let Clive", "Flight of the Living Dead"

64. ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 83-86.

65. Hush (2016): Mike Flanagan makes another winner. Not whole lot to this, but it's a taut white-knuckle ride.

66. What We Become (2015): A pretty familiar zombie story, reminding me a great deal of the first season of Fear the Walking Dead (particularly the parts where there's the suburban quarantine). This is better than that, for no other reason than the story plays out in 80 minutes and the characters aren't quite so annoying (but once again we're subjected to the character cliche that probably annoys me more than any other ... the moody asshole teen boy ).

67. ☼ The Strain (2016): "White Light"; ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 87-88.

October 17th

68. The X From Outer Space (1967): Perhaps if the monster wasn't so silly looking (imagine a giant chicken with a tail and a saucer head, who moves around like spastic toddler) this would've been scary ... nah, that wouldn't have help Kind of interesting how the first half was a standard groovy space adventure with no giant monsters at all. And we never did find out about the deal with the aliens, did we? Where's the sequel?!?

69. A Page of Madness (1926): Striking visuals ... surreal and experimental in a way totally unlike American silent horror movies (even way beyond German Expressionism classics). But ... I didn't have a clue what was going on. At first it was captivating, but after an hour I was ready for this to be over. Though to be fair, it seems there was still quite a bit footage that remains lost from this one.

70. ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 89-92.

October 18th

71. ☼ iZombie (2015): "Virtual Reality Bites", "Maternity Liv"

October 19th

72. ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 93-96.

73. ☼ iZombie (2015): "Dead Air"; ☼ American Horror Story: Roanoke (2016): "Episode 6"

October 20th

74. Gog (1954): A bit talky and not very "horror". But it's cool to see these old 3D movies (I bought the Blu Ray this month). Having not seen this before, the culprit for all the murders didn't turn out like I suspected:
Spoiler:
I was sure it was the controlling computer gone rogue. But it turned out to be forces from an enemy country (not named, but being Cold War era I can imagine the likely suspect).


75. Dracula (1931): Is it sacrilegious to not particularly like this movie? Pretty low on my list of favorite Dracula adaptations: following Nosferatu (both versions), Horror of Dracula, Coppola's Dracula, Frank Langella's Dracula, BBC's 70's Count Dracula ... probably some more versions if I gave it some thought. Lugosi's iconic performance and Dwight Frye's scenery chewing make it watchable. Everyone else is a bore. Too many interesting things take place off-screen. The stage play origins are very evident much of the production feels like the filmmakers don't have much of a handle on shooting talkies (or movies in general ... which is odd considering Tod Browning and Karl Freund were behind the camera).

76. ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 97-100.

October 21st

77. ☼ iZombie (2015): "Patriot Brains", "Mr. Berserk"

78. Flytrap (2015): It was on Amazon Prime for streaming and seems to have gotten some good reviews, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Oh well ... you can't win 'em all Maybe this would've been a solid short, but there was just too little meat and too little resolution to make it worth feature length.

79. The Ones Below (2015): It took a while going through the predictable motions getting to the endgame (I wish I went in blind, because review synopses pretty much lay out the first two-thirds). But by the end, I thought this was a well-made urban chiller. Word to the wise ... if The Governor moves next door to you, you better pack up and move before things have a chance to escalate.

80. ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 101-104.

October 22nd

81. The Devils (1971): Wild, grotesque, perverse ... this is my pick for Ken Russell's best movie. 45 years later, this is one of those that absolutely couldn't be made by a major studio today.

82. Dead End Drive-In (1986): Not sure why imdb listed this as a horror ... it's no more a horror movie than any of the Mad Max movies (which this clearly draws inspiration from). The really strong 80's style is fun. Pretty much every 80's style you can think of is present in spades (soundtrack, music videos, hair, clothes, dialog, neon colors). There's actually a really solid and original idea behind that the filmmakers barely scratch the surface of:
Spoiler:
the Drive-In is a trap set up by the government to coral all the unemployed youth and keep them happy on drugs, music, and movies, and out of the way of "productive" society.


83. Pod (2015): Mickey Keating is a young horror director who shows a lot of potential. But I think his more recent Darling realizes it better. There just isn't enough meat or originality to this story to make it stand out in any way. And if you're going to have a movie with mostly just three characters talking in enclosed environments, it's a mistake to have two of those characters mostly shout hysterically.

84. House on Haunted Hill (1959): From my Vincent Price Collection II Blu Ray set, this is one of most "fun" horror movies.

85. The Mind's Eye (2015): The Mind's Eye, I watched Scanners. I own Scanners. Scanners is one of my favorite horror movies. The Mind's Eye, you're no Scanners.

86. The Night Child (1975): And here is a counterpoint to The Mind's Eye ... a demonstration that a movie can be influenced/inspired by another (in this case, The Exorcist), but do different things to make a fresh movie. The build-up is slow, but it does a good job making us care about the characters and showing off the beautiful Italian landscape. Style-wise, you can see the similarities to the director's best-known movie What Have You Done to Solange?

87. ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 105-108.

October 23rd

88. Gamera (1965): Where do they dig up some of the English-speaking supporting roles for these movies? Just go into an American base and ask who wants to be in a monster movie? I don't remember the MST3K episode for this, but they had to be giving the movie crap for having the American general look and sound just like Curly Howard (Three Stooges) Gamera's kind of an asshole in this, wantonly smashing stuff and killing people. All that killing and the person he saves is the creepy annoying turtle-obsessed kid. Yeah ... Gamera is definitely an asshole

89. Sleepaway Camp II (1988): Probably a good idea for this movie to go a completely different direction than the first movie. High body count, much more blood and nudity ... and not really any attempt to be remotely scary. What kind of summer camp has all the girls looking like they're in their 20's? Certainly not any of the camps I went to

90. ☼ iZombie (2015): "Astroburger"; ☼ The Walking Dead (2016): "The Day Will Come When You Won't Be"

91. ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 111-114. I didn't skip episodes 109 and 110. The days where those episodes would've aired, the show was preempted for the Thanksgiving holidays. So they just skipped over the numbers, keeping the convention that episode numbers ending in 1 or 6 always are Mondays and episode numbers ending in 5 or 0 always are Fridays. [a convention the show does throughout the run, explaining what appear to be "missing" episodes]

October 25th

92. ☼ The Strain (2016): "Do or Die"; ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 115-116.

93. ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 117-120.

October 26th

94. ☼ iZombie (2015): "Dead Rat, Live Rat, Brown Rat, White Rat"; ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 121-122.

October 27th

95. ☼ iZombie (2015): "Blaine's World"; ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 123-124.

October 28th

96. The Silenced (2015): Not the ghost girl story I was expecting, instead went into sci-fi thriller territory. Interesting backdrop of Korea in the 1930's under occupation by Imperialist Japan.

97. The Dead Room (2015): Very familiar story with ghost hunters investigating a haunted house. But pretty well made, brisk running time, and it had a surprise up its sleeve by the end ... made it worth watching for me.

98. They're Watching (2016): The tone of this veers wildly (comedy to creepy horror to outright camp) and it doesn't all connect together very well. Though the batshit crazy last 10 minutes makes it memorable at the least. It didn't help that we (the viewers) are stuck with some incredibly annoying characters.

99. ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 125-128. Matthew scared to death by ghosts just before he chops up Vicky Winters into bits with an axe! And the mysterious Laura Collins returns to Collinwood and creeps out Maggie with a story about the Phoenix!

October 29th

100. Pharaoh's Curse (1957): Decent little soul-possessing blood-sucking mummy movie.

101. The Woman Who Wouldn't Die (1965): Well-made but all too familiar (with a "twist" that can be seen coming from a mile away).

102. The Haunting (1963): Pretty astonishing that director Robert Wise sandwiched this all-time classic haunted house movie in between West Side Story and The Sound of Music.

103. ☼ American Horror Story: Roanoke (2016): "Episode 7"; ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 129-130.

October 30th

104. ☼ Dark Shadows (1966): Episodes 132-135.

Halloween

105. ☼ The Walking Dead (2016): "The Well"; ☼ The Strain (2016): "The Fall"

106. ☼ Dark Shadows (1967): Episodes 136-139.

Re: The 12th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/31) ***The List Threa

No Clue yet what I'm going to watch this month.

Red = First Time Viewing

September 30th (Dusk)
1. Cat People (1942)
I have a strange fascination with Simone Simon in this movie as well as The Devil and Daniel Webster; maybe, it's the accent. I've seen people on IMDB saying they don't get this movie. It harkens back to the type of horror that appeals to people like me who are scared of a dark basement, it references ancient legends from faraway lands that strike at a primordial fear, and in the end you still aren't sure whether what you saw out of the corner of your eye was real or not.
2. The Changeling (1980)
This DVD was released so early on - I think 2000 - and I don't know why it hasn't been picked up by Scream Factory considering some of the movies they've been able to get ahold of recently. It's been so long since I saw this that I'd forgotten most of it so it was like a first time viewing for me. I didn't quite buy George C Scott at the beginning, and a crying Scott is not something I want to see; however, I enjoyed it overall for a good spooky ghost story on a rainy night. I think about this one in the same breath with Lady In White for some reason. Definitely need to pick up that Blu-Ray...
October 1st

3. The Blair Witch Project (1999)
Did someone check the map? Seriously, I never watched this film before and never understood why the found footage concept became popular. Unfortunately, I still don't get it. Really didn't care for this movie at all. No scares here
4. The House That Dripped Blood (1971)
When I was a kid, I just loved these old anthology style horror films from Amicus. They had everything: stories written by Robert Bloch, often featuring Christopher Lee or Peter Cushing, and not overly gory for the young audience. I still enjoy watching them occasionally, but they don't exactly have the same effect on me now. In this case, I liked the third installment the best featuring a young girl who is mysteriously afraid of fire and not allowed to play with dolls. As an aside, it's terrible that Robert Bloch's novels and stories are mostly out of print. I absolutely loved reading him just after Lovecraft and MR James when I was young. I'd troll local used book stores even then looking for a novel or collection I'd missed.
5. Terror Train (1980)
I found my attention drifting midway through this one, even when there were kills going on. I've been trying to catch up on slashers when I can, but I'm still not sure it's my sub-genre. I remember seeing the cover art for this one in our cable magazine back in 82 or 83 just after we got cable - I was 7 or 8. It always intrigued me but I just never got around to watching it. I think maybe there was too little Jamie and too much of the old curmudgeonly conductor. I did like the
Spoiler:
bit about switching costumes, but it was sort of creepy when Kenny revealed he was the magician's female assistant. Perhaps it was the insane scowl/twisted lip.
6. Creep (2014)
A 'found footage' psyco-killer mashup. At first, I thought this was a pretty bad movie; certainly, the first half was bewildering and hard to sit through. Then I realized that some of these scenes were intended to be funny like the sheer number of times that the antagonist 'jump scares' the main character without the protagonist taking off. Once the tone changes at the half way point, I found myself nicely creeped out and enjoying it though.
October 2nd

7. Night of the Lepus [Rifftrax commentary] (1972)
What more needs to be said? Killer hand puppets and McCoy in bell bottoms. It should be a fun movie but it is painfully dull in parts. 90 minutes feels pretty long here.
8. Kingdom of the Spiders [Rifftrax commentary] (1977)
"Rack" just doesn't seem like a very good 'hero' name. However, I did like this better than the killer bunnies although I think the cameraman was on crack at times. Best scene: Using a gun to shoot a spider off your hand.
9. The Uninvited (2009)
I never have liked movies with unreliable narrators/POVs. It often feels like I wasted my time for the previous 90 minutes just so we can have a sudden reveal/twist. It's been forever and a day since I saw the original A Tale Of Two Sisters so I can't compare if it was better since it didn't leave much impression on me either. I'll have to revisit it if it ever gets released on blu. Man, do I wish netflix had better horror movies for streaming....
10. The Babadook (2014)
Probably not a good movie to watch if you have a headache - the kid screaming is hard to take after awhile. But I did like the movie pretty well and the storybook was creepy as hell.
October 3rd

11. The Return of the Living Dead (1985)
Classic film. It gets funnier each time I see it. Which of the sequels are worth watching though?
12. The Brides of Dracula (1960)
I was inspired to start going through my old two disc DVD flippers of the Universal 8 Hammer horror movie set when I saw that this same set had just come out on Blu-ray but with poor quality and messed up aspect ratios. I hadn't seen this one before but I really enjoyed it. Always seems that you can't go too far wrong with Peter Cushing, or at least I haven't yet. Thought the colors in the movie were pretty good actually and I might just keep watching the movies in this set.
13. Curse of the Werewolf (1961)
Another Hammer horror. I liked about the first 10 minutes of it, very colorful, but it just wasn't much of a werewolf movie. Too much drama and just found myself losing focus on what was going on.
October 4th

14. The Witch (2015)
Really enjoyed this film. I watched it on Amazon Prime - could have used some subtitles as the accents were quite heavy. I'll want to revisit this one again sometime when I can turn the sound up a bit more - lots of screaming and shouting.
October 5th

15. Phantom of the Opera (1962)
Too much bad opera in this one. Not a fan of opera, I always want a 'phantom' movie without any singing at all.
16. Paranoiac (1963)
It wasn't til half way through this short film that it really had any 'horror' elements; at first, I thought it was more of a thriller. Not bad though - liked the black & white use even though I've been watching color Hammer horrors up to now.
17. Vamp (1986)
Just picked up the Arrow US blu-ray for this movie as a blind-buy. I enjoyed it immensely. I could definitely see similarities with From Dusk Til Dawn, which I also love, but I think Grace Jones has more style than Salma Hayek. Would definitely make a great back to back movie combo. If I'd realized that before, I would have saved this for the weekend instead of after work.
October 6th

18. Slugs (1988)
I had a great time watching this movie. While not a great film by any means, it was never boring to me and had some great lines and bad dubbing. Terrific Arrow release.
19. Count Yorga,Vampire (1970)
Watched the Yorga movies as soon as the Arrow blu came out as I hadn't seen them before. I was itching to watch them agai for the challenge and I'll definitely follow-up with the second one. Fun movies
October 7th

20. The Return of Count Yorga (1971)
The tradition of odd camera shots, angles, and fisheye lenses continues - Look at me, I'm HUUUGE. And what's with whalesong punctuating one of the vampire's murders?
October 8th

21. Shivers (1975)
22. Rabid (1977)
This pair of early Cronenberg is very rough and the pacing is not quite there yet. I'm not sure which I like more as the themes are very similar. I like the use of taboo themes in Shivers rather than just make it a horny zombie flick (do those exist or did i just dream it?) but I think the story and build-up is a bit more solid in Rabid. Wouldn't be on my top Cronenberg list but they work pretty well for this challenge.
23. The Black Cat (1981)
24. Your Vice Is A Locked Room And Only I Have The Key (1972)
I liked Fulci's The Black Cat pretty well despite IMDB warnings that it wasn't that good - maybe my expectations were lowered. I was disappointed that my own demonic kitty didn't pay any mind at all to the mewling and caterwauling or the kill all humans vibe of the felines on screen. Not sure I would have put the Martino movie under "Poe" but I enjoyed it a lot.
October 9th

25. Malatesta's Carnival of Blood (1973)
Toby's awesome! Now I want a dead chicken too!
26. Omen IV: The Awakening (1991)
I assume this was meant to be tongue-in-cheek. If judged on that basis, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The hippies with the 'aura camera' were pretty funny and who doesn't like a good lunchbox beatdown?!
27. Re-animator (1985)
28. Bride of Re-animator (1989)
Always fun to watch Reanimator. I still don't quite get the bat wings on Dr Hill in Bride - might have just been better to leave that character out of the sequel as he didn't really serve much point to me. Haven't seen Beyond Re-animator yet but I'm game...
29. Dagon (2001)
I like this one OK. I think it's a bit uneven and I tend to find myself doing other things while it is on, especially during the first half hour. On the other hand, seeing any kind of adaptation of The Shadow Over Innsmouth is great.
October 10th

30. Killers From Space [The Film Crew] (1954)
Ok, this is a bit of a stretch, but I needed something bit more light-hearted and silly after some of the films I've seen recently. The Film Crew was the shortlived project for Mike Nelson, Bill Corbett, and Kevin Murphy between the end of MST3K and the far more successful Rifftrax. Looks like we've got atomic bomb testing (it is 1954 after all), alien abductions, and Peter Graves.
31. Goodnight Mommy (2014)
If I ever find myself alone with twins, I'm just going to assume it won't end well. Based on horror movie standards, twins are remarkably easy to break down
32. The Town That Dreaded Sundown (2014)
I wanted to lie this movie as the premise sounded pretty interesting. But overall, I kept reading political threads which isn't a good sign for my interest in a movie
October 11th

33. The Masque of the Red Death (1964)
Very possibly my favorite horror movie of all time. Just dripping with atmosphere, sharp dialogue, and one of Vincent Price's best performances as Count Prospero - for me, the best of Corman's Poe adaptations. It was a movie made for scenery chewing and doesn't sink under the weight of overacting but revels in it.
October 12th

34. The Others (2001)
Seemed a bit slow at first but eventually I found myself drawn into the spooky ghost story that was unfolding. A good companion piece to The Innocents
35. "Manos" The Hands of Fate [Rifftrax Live] (1966/2015)
I have always been a huge fan of MST3K so I really question Rifftrax or Cinematic Titanic redoing a classic episode. Invariably, I compare way too much to the first riffed episode and just don't find them as funny trying to come up with different jokes. This was pretty good but now I have to decide if I want to watch the MST3K version or not!
October 13th

36. The Hills Have Eyes (1977)
I think I enjoyed it more than the first time I saw this movie last year. Really nice Arrow package that I just received today. It's a fairly short film but there's a part where I keep drifting off around the 1:10:00 mark, not sure why. Still had a blast watching it again
October 14th

37. Dark Water (2002)
Good movie, not too may scares til the end though. Really more of a drama with a little bit of ghost story thrown in.
October 15th

38. The Red Queen Kills Seven Times [Commentary] (1972)
This is one of my favorite gialli. I think the opening to the movie is just awesome and a heavy favorite bit of mine. I put on the commentary to the arrow release and think it might be one of the few commentaries I can see listening to again. I'm not entirely sure who the two commentators are but I find they play off each other really well, sound like they just love these movies, and yet they're also very informative while they're having fun. And I think they did more commentaries for some of these arrow releases so I'm looking forward to that.
39. The Green Slime (1968)
I've loved this film since I was a kid. Only in the last year did I realize that it was directed by the same person who did Battle Royale and Battles Without Honor And Humanity . Special effects aren't great but I think the acting and storyline are actually above average for this type of movie. I often wish MST3K had done a full treatment for this film rather than just a short bit to sell the concept, but it's probably for the best.
40. The Visit (2015)
I thought I'd give M. Night another chance but boy I should really not waste my time - only ever liked The Sixth Sense. At least it's short.
41. Misery (1990)
I thought I'd give this movie a try, but I remembered that I never really enjoyed this book when I read it back in high school at the time it came out. I haven't been batting a very high average lately with 'new-to-me' movies.
October 16th

42. Ash Vs. The Evil Dead Season 1 Episodes 1-4 (2015)
43. Ash Vs. The Evil Dead Season 1 Episodes 5-8 (2015)
44. Ash Vs. The Evil Dead Season 1 Episodes 9-10 (2015)
Ash Vs. The Evil Dead Season 2 Episodes 1-2 (2016)
45. The Exorcist Season 1 Episodes 1-2 (2016)
46. The Exorcist Season 1 Episodes 3-4 (2016)
Been on a TV kick today to catch up on some horror themed shows. Saw Ash season 1 last year but I just couldn't resist watching it again to prep for season 2 - quick to run through the episodes and I think it's even better watching it all at once. The Exorcist I didn't have high hopes for after last year's Damien, but so far I'm liking it. My big problem when comparing it to the original movie is that the possessed girl doesn't have the childlike innocence Linda Blair did in the original which made her corruption that much more terrifying. The girl in this one is older so just isn't as disturbing. Themes of faith vs science crop up again as in the original movie which makes it a bit slow at times, but not overly so.
47. Clownhouse (1988)
With creepy clowns all the rage on the news lately, I thought I should fit a similarly themed movie in here somewhere. As a film, not bad but I didn't the creeps as much as I should have since I hate clowns Maybe I'll throw on Killer Klowns From Outer Space sometime since I haven't ever watched that one either. Maybe some of It while I'm at it?
October 17th

48. Psycho II [Rifftrax] (1983)
I still rather enjoy Psycho II with or without the Rifftrax commentary. Not sure if it counts as a guilty pleasure or not; movie wouldn't be much without Tony Perkins that's for sure. I'm not sure what to think of Tony Perkins after watching Crimes of Passion recently, very strange.
49. Firestarter (1984)
Probably haven't seen this movie in 25 years. I remember it being sort of average but still enjoyable when I was younger. George C Scott and Martin Sheen are pretty good as expected. I can't tell if Drew Barrymore is just bad or it's the fault of some of the dialogue and editing. When Charlie gets angry, she's not too bad but she certainly isn't the glue necessary to hold this together completely. Plus the whole LSD experiments angle seems a bit dated now.
50. Jeepers Creepers (2001)
Not sure if I liked it or not - found the brother and sister pretty unlikable. Enjoyed the Duel-esque truck scene at the begining and the end, but just sorta zoned out here and there in the middle. Probably need to watch it again to know for sure.
October 20th

51. Psycho III (1986)
I've often heard that this one was very 'campy' but honestly it all fell flat for me. I didn't really 'get' this movie at all and didn't think Tony Perkins was all that good as Norman in this one. Still love Psycho and rather like Psycho II though.
52. Kiss Of The Vampire (1963)
I was rather enjoying this Hammer film from the 60s til we got to the end. The silly vampire bat attack was one of the silliest things I've seen in awhile and just elevated this movie to a whole 'nother level !
October 21st

53. The Burning (1981)
I'm probably somewhat late to the party seeing this one for the first time. I enjoyed it quite a bit for what it was. I was a kid in the 80s so I never got to watch any of the Slasher genre back then so my timeline/perception of them has always been a little skewed. During some parts early on I wasn't sure if I was watching a horror film or a teen frat house film The scene that struck me as somewaht unique from the few slashers I have scene from the period is after the rest of the teens discover
Spoiler:
the raft of bodies
, they cut to them crying in each others' arms. Seemed at that point to try and take this over-the-top film and plant it firmly in the real world to me.
54. Halloween (1978)
55. Halloween II (1981)

October 22nd

56. Halloween III: Season Of The Witch (1982)
57. Halloween 4: The Return Of Michael Myers (1988)
58. Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989)

October 23rd
59. Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995)
60. Pod People [MST3K] (1983/1991)
Very creepy that this is the director of Pieces and Slugs. Still has some of my favorite MST3K jokes from the series.
61. Gamera Vs Barugon [MST3K] (1966/1991)
62. Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998)
63. Ash Vs. The Evil Dead Season 2 Episodes 3-4 (2016)
The Exorcist Season 1 Episode 5 (2016)

65. Little Shop Of Horrors (1960)
66. Scream Queens Season 1 Episodes 1-2 (2015)
67. Scream Queens Season 1 Episodes 3-4 (2015)
68. Silence Of The Lambs (1991)

October 25th

69. Colossus: The Forbin Project (1970)
Not strictly a horror movie, I filed it under Computer horror rules humanity with an iron fist type horror movie. However, I forgot just how dated this movie really is. I thought I could deal with it because I thought it was a cool movie for its time as a kid; however, whe they got out the drafting board and slide rules and referred to the main scientist's sex life as 'requiring a woman', it just became a bit too much to take seriously. I don't think I'll watch this movie again.
70. I Vampiri (1957)
Left as a extra on Arrow's Black Sunday release, I thought it was a decent movie. Not great but enjoyable enough although sometimes it felt kind of long for only 85 minutes. I prefer the main feature Black Sunday even so.
October 26th

71. Halloween Resurrection (2002)
Ok now the only halloween movie I haven't seen is Rob Zombie's 2....gonna try and get through those this season but I'm not sure which is worse Curse, Resurrection, or Zombie's 1. This might take the cake for Busta Rhyme's lame kung-fu - honestly didn't feelin any way like a halloween movie.
72. Blood Feast (1963)
My first HGL film from the new Arrow box set (alas not the ultra limited edition). I thought it was pretty campy fun eve with some of the bad gore effects and horrible acting. It wasn't bad in the way Halloween Resurrection was bad for me. I'm looking forward to watching the rest of the set.
October 27th

73. Two Thousand Maniacs (1964)
I think this movie could have used some trimming - perhaps if it were the length of Blood Feast it would have been better. Still enjoyed it for the most part as the camp drive-in film it was.
74. Halloween (2007)
75. Halloween II (2009)
Didn't know what was going on most of the time.
October 30th

76. The House Of The Seven Corpses (1974)
Really wanted to like this one - sounded right up my ally. It wasn't just bad acting, but it was fairly boring and uneventful. I'm guessing it was a made for TV movie as it had that feel about it to me.
77. Burn, Witch, Burn (1962)
Nice black & white British film from the 1960s. Liked the rationalist element as an unbeliever slowly is drawn into a world lying subversively benrath the everyday.
78. Plan 9 From Outer Space (1959)
Far far from the worst movie of all time, it is hard to watch without thinking of the scenes from Ed Wood depicting the making of Plan 9.
October 31st

79. Night Of The Living Dead [Rifftrax] (1968)
I only watched the Rifftrax of this one because my Elite DVD has been lost to the sands of time and I've never replaced it - guess I keep waiting for a Criterion blu-ray or something. Rifftrax actually did two versions of this; I only had the first version around and it just isn't that funny. I remember seeing the opening graveyard scene as a kid and being terribly frightened of it - couldn't watch the whole movie for a long time. When I got a little older, I found the long stretches of nothing happening or Barbara's inane ramblings hard to take. Now I love it and find it a very atmospheric and frightening film
80. Color Me Blood Red (1965)
For some reason I'm finding these HGL films pretty fun to watch so far. Seems almost fitting to end Halloween watching one. I had been planning to finish up with either The Shining or Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but I have seen both of those quite a bit already. I have to work tomorrow so i don't think I'll have time to start another movie. 80 is still 5 more than last year I think.

Re: The 12th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/31) ***The List Threa



Back for another year of frightening films! Last year I didn't get a chance to finish up my list after sticking with it for a number of years.

This year I'll wrap this puppy up!

Goal - 75-80 movies.

Starting Saturday night with an in-theater viewing of The Tingler at the Historic Hollywood Theater in Portland, OR. They were supposed to have rumbler seat motors distributed around the room. But it looks like that didn't work out -- oh well. Will still be great to see this one in the dark in an actual theater.

9/30 (after Dusk)
001. The Shallows New This current creature feature with a killer shark has a good first and even second act. Then, in the third act, goes bonkers. What started out as 90% good took a sharp turn to half-bad in the final reel. The Shark CGI here is the real culprit. It's crude and cartoonish. Used sparingly in the majority of the film and it works fine. But as the shark is used for more and more effect in the third act, well that's when the weakness of the CGI comes out.

10/1
002. The Tingler @ The Hollywood Theater, Portland, OR - This William Castle gimmick horror is fun and twisty. The audience at the Hollywood added some nice color during the screaming audience participation section. I think we may have disturbed viewers in the other theaters. This may be a highlight of the horror challenge this year -- and it's only October 1st.
003. Exorcist S1E1 & Exorcist S1E2 New

10/2
004. The Boy New - This current rental was a serviceable stuck in a creepy old house jumper. I am easily scared by a movie and this did a reasonable job keeping me tense. Ultimately, though, a forgettable horror that I'm unlikely to revisit.
005. Bad Milo New - This is a fun surprise. This horror movie feels like the brainstorm child of a 13-year old boy and a Jungian Therapist. Very enjoyable and I will be sure to revisit it in future years.

10/3
006. Walking Dead S5E1 & S5E2 New
007. Walking Dead S5E3 & S5E4 New
008. Walking Dead S5E5 & S5E6 New
009. Krampus - Caught this in the theaters and it actually holds up well on a second viewing. Nice Christmas/Holiday horror movie that is well acted and has good effects. I feel as if the movie played out perfectly. For me this will be a perennial Holiday and Horror movie and I think it would pair well with Home for the Holidays on Thanksgiving.

10/4
010. The Darkness New
011. Walking Dead S5E7 & S5E8 New

10/6
012. The Forest New
013. Walking Dead S5E9 & S5E10 New

10/7
014. Cell New
015. Shaun of the Dead

10/8
016. Bride of Frankenstein
017. The Other Side of the Door New
018. Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension New

10/9
019. The Gallows New
020. Final Destination 3
020.5 The Exorcist S1E3 New

10/10
021. Walking Dead S5E11 New

10/11
022. Walking Dead S5E12 & S5E13 New
023. Walking Dead S5E14 & S5E15 New

10/12
024. The Conjuring 2 New This one is super creepy. There is something about movies that put kids in danger. They can be all that much more harrowing, I think.
025. Walking Dead S5E16 & S6E1 New
026. Walking Dead S6E2 & S6E3 New

10/13
027. Train to Busan @ The Hollywood Theater in Portland, OR New This is a great new foreign horror movie. While it follows a standard Zombie Apocalypse arc, the movie remains unrelenting. It establishes it owns reasonable rules for zombies, too. Very enjoyable, one I will revisit in future years.

10/14
028. Perfect Getaway
029. Trick r Treat

10/15
030. Gremlins
031. Wallace and Grommit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit
033. Fun Size

10/16
034. Shin Godzilla New @ The Hollywood Theater in Portland, OR
035. Lost Boys
036. Lost Boys: The Tribe
037. The Grey

10/18
038. Walking Dead S6E4 & S6E5 New

10/20
039. Walking Dead S6E6 & S6E7 New
040. Walking Dead S6E8 & S6E9 New
041. Walking Dead S6E10 & S6E11 New
042. Walking Dead S6E12 & S6E13 New

10/21
043. What We Become New

10/22
044. Walking Dead S6E14 & S6E15
045. The Wolf-Man -- The classic. This one is my absolute favorite of the Universal horror films.
046. The World's End -- Damn fine movie. I have to get this one and listen to the commentary tracks next year. Too bad I can't possibly include Hot Fuzz in this challenge because binge watching this 'trilogy' would be a fun.
047. X-Files: I Want To Believe -- This second X-Files film I think gets weighted down just a little with the interplay between Scully and Mulder. But otherwise is the perfect non-conspiracy storyline turned into a full-length feature. Unfortunately, it feels like a TV movie of the week rather than a hollywood production. The first movie did a better job of being a Hollywood X-files movie.

10/23
048. Bloodsucking Bastards New
049. Godzilla - The new Godzilla is still a good spectacle creature feature. I really like how the monsters in this one are the stars.

10/24
050. Ghostbusters [2016] - This new Ghostbusters is quite entertaining on the second watch through. While it isn't the classic the original is, I find the characters and charm of this movie rewarding enough to see it again next year.



10/25
051. Maniac @ The Hollywood Theater in Portland, OR - Hollywood did a great job with this one. 35MM. Perfect looking print. Great introduction. Including a trailer for Don't Go Into the House beforehand.

10/27
052. Tremors - Perfect, light hearted campy creature feature. I wish there were more moves with this sorta acting and this sorta script and production. Alas, it doesn't happen anymore. Luckily I get to watch this one every year.

10/28
053: Final Destination - I really enjoy this series. It's pure popcorn horror. I actually like the third movie in this series as much as this original one.
054: American Psycho - This is really a classic. It feels like a movie from it's time and yet mocks the period at the same time. You don't see movies like this doing a good job of satire. Perhaps that's a testament to how good a film version of this material this is. I am drawn now to comparison between this movie and Fight Club. How many similar themes run through them. I imagine if Adrian Lyne has directed Fight Club in the period this film was made that it might have looked a lot like American Psycho.

10/30
055: The Green Inferno New - I've been meaning to watch this gruesome one. I think I've become inured to the blood and gore, but not frightening horror. In truth the plane crash was more gripping to me than the horrific later scenes. I was really impressed with the actors who played the natives in this. They were incredibly believable. Meanwhile, the screaming blubbering students were less convincing but no completely unbelievable.

10/31
056: The Pit New @ The Hollywood Theater
057: The Walking Dead S6E16 and S7E1

Something horrible is happening inside of me and I don't know why. My nightly bloodlust has overflown into my days. I feel lethal, on the verge of frenzy. I think my mask of sanity is about to slip.

35. Frankenstein (1931) Look! It's moving. It's alive. It's alive... It's alive, it's moving, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, IT'S ALIVE!
