Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 13th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/
I thought this challenge was going to be awesome but everybody watches the same stupid movies they watch every year. There seems to be zero originality out there. It kills me how somebody has to use a wild card because there is only over 17 000 horror films to choose from. How can you have a grey area? It kills me even more how people watch TV shows for the MOVIE CHALLENGE. Why not get into a TV show challenge then you can watch a movie in that one just to be against the grain. Don't even get me started on the people that watch 14 movies in one day. These people have it on the TV while they go about their day catching a glimpse now and then of their favourite part because they have already watched it 32 times. I know a lot of people feel the way I do but don't want to say anything. I know this is supposed to be fun but it makes me sick to my stomach. Enjoy the challenge everyone.

My Tobe Hooper watch today was Spontaneous Combustion (1990), a low-budget Firestarter rip-off that for me was much better than its reviews. The plot: an adorable young couple volunteers to be test subjects for an anti-radiation vaccine during an H-bomb test, supervised by the mom from Close Encounters shows up with a goofy German accent. After their baby is born, they suddenly burst into flame and are incinerated. Their son, played by Brad Dourif (Grima Wormtongue, voice of Chucky), grows up and discovers that he can create fires with his mind, but he has no control of his power. Hijinks ensue.
Unfortunately I'm behind on my list because I kicked off the weekend by being sick as hell with a bad cough and no voice. I look forward to this all year, of course my luck would go south at the very start of the month.
Planning on watching C.H.U.D. when I get off work in two hours.

That was back when they did theatrical releases.
Eventually they blew their load on unsuccessful movies, then reimaged themselves to be the anti-Hollywood they are today, even though they didn't complain when they were making movies people were buying tickets for.

Another I've been looking for follows this story line:
A young man's car breaks down during a stormy night. He sees a house up the hill and walks there to ask for help. A beautiful girl invites him in, he stays the night (or two? - been too long and I'm vague on this part) and is witness to several horrific events, several of which are either sourced from or borrowed by other films. When he's told the car has been brought to the garage and is now repaired he readies to leave. He's fallen in love and wants the girl to go with him. To escape the house. But she repeatedly tells him she can never leave as she's bound to the house. He finally talks her into leaving and they head out. As they cross the boundaries of the yard and go through the gate, he looks back to tell her everything will be OK only to find she's turned into a pile of dust!

Having a rough start for the challenge so far. Working the weekend + some NFL games put me behind a bit. But I have a few days off coming up to gain some ground.

I just watched Lair of the White Worm for the first time. That is one really odd movie. I think I liked it but really need to see it again to know for sure. Hugh Grant was a hoot!
I'm now about to watch Killer Klowns from Outer Space for the first time.

Knowing one of the actors' names would go a long way towards finding the film name. I do know there were no "big name" horror stars, or at least none I knew of at the time, in the film.
One of the scenes I remember was someone putting a body in a vat of acid and the bones floating to the surface. It was similar, but not identical, to the one in House on Haunted Hill. I know I'm not confusing it with HoHH as I saw the one in question first and distinctly remember seeing that "same" scene in HoHH and thought they were ripping off that other movie. Plus I was rather bored by HoHH and thought the other film was more frightening.

I went to see the new restoration of Suspiria in the theater, and it is amazing! I watched the film a couple years ago on DVD and enjoyed it, but there's a lot to be said for seeing such a stylish treat on the big screen. Jessica Harper is absolutely adorable as the constantly endangered ingenue, and Joan Bennett is great as the enigmatic ballet vice-director. I know I'm preaching to the choir!
When I left the theater, it was dark and I was driving behind a truck that I thought contained a very still dog. To my horror, I realized I was staring into the dead eyes of a stuffed bobcat! It was a bit of surreality that excellently capped seeing a surreal film.

Finished up Beyond the Gates. I'm mixed on this one. The low budget was glaringly obvious and I wasn't really sold on the lead actor, but I liked the supporting cast and the score. Barbara Crampton still looks great and will be the most memorable thing from the movie. It started out good, but just went off the rails at the end and didn't seem to know where to run with the plot.

I love the 80's renaissance as well, but Stranger Things is the one I've seen get it the most correct so far. I'm counting down to the 27th for Season 2.

Looking forward to this year. I watched TCM 2 and Eaten Alive yesterday. RIP Mr. Hooper but I'm respectfully not a huge fan of his work. They were both first time viewings and while I don't hate them, I just don't find myself to be as much as a fan of Hoopers work as others seem to be. I actually fell asleep during Eaten Alive and had to finish it up when I got up from my snooze.

The Houses October Built was a first-time viewing for me. The Porcelain girl was the best part of this, but I think this "found footage" movie suffers from too much darkness, not in a symbolic sense, but more of a "I can't even see what's happening" sense.
I decided to get the subset title out of the way in a late night viewing of Amer. I don't really know what I just watched. Some girl just wandered around for an hour and half and there was lots of breathing and very little talking. I won't spoil the ending here, but this felt like a waste of time. I can enjoy a good arthouse flick just as much as anyone, but this wasn't my cup of tea.

Got done with The Climax starring Karloff earlier. Though It's got the Horror-keyword from imdb (Plus the trailer appears on my FESTIVAL OF FRIGHT disc) it was barely even a thriller....And you thought Claude Rains' Phantom of the Opera had too much operatic singing in it!

Not a one. Keep in mind that I was maybe 10 or 11 when I saw the film - way back in the mid 60s. Back then I really didn't pay much attention to names of actors in horror films unless it was one of the "big" names, plus that was a loooooong time ago!
Knowing one of the actors' names would go a long way towards finding the film name. I do know there were no "big name" horror stars, or at least none I knew of at the time, in the film.

Stuff like this drives me nuts so i am on a mission now. This sounds alot like a low budget 70s independent film i recently watched called the Dungeon of Harrow (1964). Directed by Pat Boyette.
could it be that?

I just finished a documentary called The Blackout Experiments. Not the best movie but the topic being covered was interesting. It focused on these people whip grow obsessed with blackout, this extreme haunted house-type experience. I say type because it's not
set up as supernatural or anything like that, but it is definitely designed to frighten and unnerve participants. From what we see, it's a lot of humiliation and violence, often based on intimate details about your life. The performers are allowed to touch the people and get pretty rough. Participants are required to sign a waiver.
Anyone here ever do something like blackout? I don't think I could ever do something like that but would definitely be curious about other people's experiences.

I'm starting off the morning with Beetlejuice, I haven't seen it in years and one scene really surprised. When Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis are first introduced to Beetlejuice in their model cemetary in their attic, Keaton shouts out "Nice fucking model". This was in 1988, but kind of shocking since its a PG movie.
