Would these films qualify, or does it need to be something like the Leprechaun 'franchise'? I have the checklist pretty much so planned out without that one, but I could suffer through the last one if need be.
I love those Sam Sherman Blood films but they are really unrelated to each other in my opinion. Sam used blood in the title for marketing.

Phew, that's a whole lot of singing in Universal's Phantom of the Opera. I would imagine that would work for Musical / Rock ‘n Roll Horror in the checklist?

Of course it's also been a long while since I watched it, so maybe a revisit will change my mind. And this month my horror movie expectations and bar are automatically quite a bit higher. I think that may have some effect on judgment as well.
After the prologue I was expecting to like it a lot more than the negative reviews made me think I would. By the end of the movie I was desperate for it to end. It wasn't scary. It relied on cheap jump scares. There was literally no characterization. At no point did the movie try to give us a sense of who the characters were, or why we should care for them. I saw a bunch of visual motifs that were ripped off from better movies, from Blair Witch Project to Absentia. It truly was mediocre in every way. And I try to find something positive to enjoy about every horror movie I watch, but this one was truly crap, in my humble opinion. Origin of Evil was such a breath of fresh air in comparison.

Origin of Evil there's a brief moment where the Mother checks her makeup/hair in the car mirror before meeting her daughter's teacher. It was a fleeting moment but it told you that she was lonely and eager to try to form a new relationship. That's how you develop characters, there was nothing like that in Ouija.

I hated it with my entire being the first time I saw it. I'm glad I've forgotten most of what I saw. I've heard really good things about Origin of Evil, but I just can't bring myself to watch it.

There was very long time I was disparaging that WWF mirror movie, thinking it was Ouija. I was so embarrassed when someone told me they were 2 different movies. After this, I watched that WWF movie and ended up really liking it. Go figure!

If you're referring to Oculus, it's from the same director of Origin of Evil. You should watch it, it's really good!

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

I've been derailed a tiny, tiny bit since Thursday evening. I got home from Movie Night with friends to find my poor senior cat collapsed and unable to stand. So instead of throwing on a werewolf movie, I dashed her to an emergency vet and didn't get home until 2:00 Friday morning. The things we do for our beloved pets!

Warning: Spoilers ahead: This brings me to The Other, a film I watched this afternoon.
Spoiler:
The film features a child falling into a well and dying while trying to kill a cat. I don't think I've ever gotten satisfaction from a fictional kid's death, but I'll admit that this little ghoul's demise gave me a little smile.


I've also been rewatching Stranger Things in preparation for the second season, and it's just as good as I remember.

Heads up--

I was browsing Vudu's selection of "Free with Ads" movies, and I noticed that both Hobgoblins and Dolls are available for free streaming.

I just thought that someone might like to know, since they're both upcoming subset films.

I'm sorry and hope she'll be ok. My boxer had his physical a few days ago and got a decent report, but lately he hasn't been eating as much. It worries me some as he is going on 8 years old.

On another note, my niece was very lucky today. My sister took her to see It. I probably won't be able to see it till it comes out on Blu Ray and DVD.

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

This afternoon I was in the mood for a kaiju movie, so I pulled out my War Of The Monsters set, which has six Showa Gamera films, and watched the first movie in the set, Gammera The Invincible.

I might do a Resident Evil marathon tomorrow, seeing as how it is zombie day. A few months ago, I bought the Complete Collection on Google Play.

Right now I'm just about on pace to hit my goal of 100. I'm sitting at 26 right now.

I picked up the BD as a blind buy at a nice price from Hamilton Books during a pre-challenge shopping spree.

I think my lack of sleep is catching up to me...less than an hour to go on this movie and I'm crashing for the night.

Having lots of fun with my challenge, even though I'm able to be only partially active this year. Sickness caught up with me this week, too, but I have hit the eight movie/TV show mark pretty effectively. Started Gerald's Game and it is pretty freakin' awesome so far.

I just came home from seeing IT again as well, I wanted to see it again, and include it for the challenge. Part of me still wants to watch the TV version, but I feel like it would just be watered down in comparison.

It doesn't stand the test of time. The part when they were kids wasn't all that bad, but when they're adults, all they really did was stand around and talk about when they were kids. I used to think Tim Curry was frightening in the role, but there's really nothing about the old version that's better than the new one. And that's coming from someone who usually hates remakes on principle.

Glad you liked it! I too picked it up cheap and thought it was well worth the money.

I'm finishing my night by watching Cabin Fever and its Remake back to back. I like the original for the comedy, but the remake has better gore effects, kills, and I like the lake house location as a better setting for the movie.

Mark of the Witch is pretty tame compared to other 70s witchcraft films, but not bad at all considering it's a student-made film from Dallas of all places.

Moontrap was an absolute blast. Robotic aliens hidden on the dark side of the moon using humans for spare parts ...isn't that the plot of Virus? My only question is why the hell does Chekov get top billing over Bruce Campbell?

Mindwarp is weird! It's like if you threw Army of Darkness, Logan's Run, and Hell Comes to Frogtown into a blender... and added a plot-important food processor! It was a blind buy from one of the Twilight Time sales, and it was worth all $10 that I spent on it. Bruce Campbell and Angus Scrimm lend some horror cred to the affair which was helpful, cause I wasn't sure it was a horror film until quite a bit in. However, it get gleefully bloody and grotesque.

Thanks! Hope your boxer regains his appetite. My cat is 18 and has been in excellent health until recently.

I need to go see It! I've heard such good things, but I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to seeing horror films in the theater. If I get scared at home, I can turn on a lamp or take a breather.

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

So, just looking through the theme's list and wondering if it's kosher to use a movie multiple times. I've looked for an answer a bit but can't find it.
