100 Movies. 31 Days. The 13th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/31)

Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 13th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/
Joining in on the shameless plug for vids This (Chronological compilation, 1897-2015) vid is my favorite one I've done and I'll likely do the same again this year.
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8Kxzs0UsjvQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
As for TCM's October schedule, they've often done the same pattern in recent years:
30th-Start the day with public domain horrors (They always gotta throw Dementia 13 somewhere in there) Then in the evening-to-late hours, Hammer films would take over.
31st-The Val Lewton films usually owned the morning/afternoon spot and AIP's films with Vincent Price would end the night.
It looks like (This year) they've returned to their mid/late 2000s roots by having The Haunting/House on Haunted Hill on Halloween night. Can't be sure, but I think Poltergeist had a primetime slot last year too.
BTW, don't miss the Black cats and broomsticks short on the 15th. It opens with a shot of 1950's kids in creepy costumes. Undoubtedly, the most spine-tingling thing I saw on last year's challenge!

I got to thinking earlier today that it's hard to believe the Challenge starts next week. It's only a little over a week away. I can't wait and am now counting the days.

Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 13th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/
TCM has quite a slate of classic horror films running in October:
https://thoughtcatalog.com/emily-mad...ll-the-horror/
https://thoughtcatalog.com/emily-mad...ll-the-horror/
I'll get this and the other updated channel links up on the first post soon.
Has Ghost Story of Yotsuya ever been shown on TCM before? If you guys haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. A landmark of J-horror. As is directors Nobuo Nakagawa's follow up, Jigoku (which TCM is also showing right after). That ones better known, thanks to getting the Criterion treatment. Another landmark movie, as one of the earliest "gore" horror movies (though all the nasty stuff is saved for the end of the movie).
Despite preparing for it for months, the realization has still not kicked in for me. It usually hits me the first day.

I was browsing Amazon Prime tonight and discovered that Seasons 1-17 of Dark Shadows is available on Prime, as well as Seasons 1 and 3 of Dark Shadows: The Beginning. There were also 2 or 3 Dark Shadows movies.

Anyone got a preference on all of these "Vampire Detective" shows?
Angel
Forever Knight
Moonlight
Blood Ties
The only one I've seen is Angel, but I have a hard time believing the others will be as good. But, they're all reasonably short, too.

Besides Angel, I remember watching the first episode of Moonlight when it first aired and thought it was terrible. I haven't seen the others.

Couldn't wait and saw mother! as well, and loved it! However, I didn't think it was really a horror film...
Also couldn't wait and saw It. That one is definitely a horror movie, and a great one at that! Looking forward to discussing it more as more people watch next month!

I'm getting flaahbacks to last year's Dark Shadows movie and how hard it was to follow for somebody like me who has never watched the show.

I remember watching Forever Night years after its initial run as reruns in syndication, but I couldn't tell you a single thing about it.

Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 13th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/
Speaking of Dark Shadows, I have a question for those who've watched the entire series.
I'm currently on episode #1,075 right after the "parallel time/dual time-bands" and "1995" storylines. Is it okay to watch Night of Dark Shadows at this point? I was hoping to repeat being able to watch House for last year's since it recycled the original Barnabas storyline.

Ah, Dark Shadows...I have the entire series in that coffin set. It's nice. But, I'm only on disc 3. At this rate, I'll never finish it. I wish I could skip ahead to all of the supernatural stuff, but I have zero knowledge on the show's history, so when I watched that movie last year, I had no idea what was going on, either. Slow and steady...

Very cool to see most of the familiar faces popping up in the list thread. Not sure how fast it usually populates, but seems like we're on track to hit our usual 100+ participants.
A couple first-time posters in there already too!

For anyone waiting to see Mother in theaters for the challenge (assuming it makes it that long) I think a wildcard would be needed on it... not really a horror film.

Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 13th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/
I agree with Chad that I don't think that it's ever been shown on TCM before. However, Keisuke Kinoshita's version of the story, The Ghost of Yotsuya, Part I (a.k.a. The Yotsuda Phantom and Yotsuda Kaidan, Part I) been shown on IFC, along with The Ghost of Yotsuya, Part II (a.k.a. Shinshaku Yotsuya Kaidan: Kohen and Yotsuya Kaidan, Part II), both from 1949. I can't tell you exactly when they were shown, but I DVRed them and dumped them to DVD-R years ago.
"The Beginning" would be tough sledding for casual viewers and/or those new to Dark Shadows (especially on Amazon Prime with only a fraction of the episodes).
Where it starts being listed as just "Dark Shadows" is the introduction to Barnabas, episode 210 (which is a better starting place for newbies). The DVD set and Sci-Fi channels showing aired a useful "recap" episode that got everyone caught up on the characters and storylines. Still, being a daily soap I don't think it would be hard to get up to speed. They intentionally wanted to make it easy for new viewers to be able to join in and not feel lost (maybe after a few episodes).
Those early Barnabas episodes can still be tough for pacing at times (if you're used to how weekly shows are paced, this will seem outright glacial). By episodes 365, the show seems really to have found its stride. The pacing is much faster, and the show seems to have fully accepted its a crazy horror/fantasy/sci-fi serial with little of what "normal" soap operas would have. It's very cool that Amazon Prime has so many consecutive episodes from the show's prime (from 210 to around 900).
I don't know what it is that Amazon Prime has listed as "The Haunting of Collinwood" and "The Vampire's Curse". Are they reedits of a couple of storylines? Normally it takes dozens of episodes for a major story, but these are only 3 hours long. It does sound like a cool idea, since there has always been a lot of repetition in the regular episodes (since the producers knew some people only watched a couple of time a week). Though the editing would have to be done with some care.

Spoiler:
I'll pop in there right at the start of October. Some people seem to like being on the first page. I like being at the very end ... and I'll typically get rankled by someone that makes a list in mid October, never updating it and robbing me of my last-spot status

It is listed as horror on imdb, but I honestly agree with you. That said, I saw it already and don't think I could sit through it again anyway.

Saying hi to SethDLH, Chad, Trevor and the whole gang. One of the few years that I've not been in on pre-game planning. But I will be in on the game for as much as possible. Excited to look over the categories you've ended up with.
Oh, and if there are any open spots for anything, I'll offer my input/picks.

Welcome back indie! I think the themes and subsets are all done and in final formatting by Chad, but come on over to the pre-challenge thread and help us finish up the checklist.
