I'm thinking about using my Amazon credits and buying the SD Amazon video version for $10. Unless anyone wants to talk me out of it for any reason.....
It's an interesting movie and definitely worth checking out, especially if you've been interested in it that long. I'd definitely pick up a copy of it on BD if it were ever to be released.

Looking at the rules of your game there, it apparently had fatal alcohol poisoning as the goal.

Some of these "core" monster movies I don't own, the * ones I only own a crappy DVD-R of because...damn OOP Anchor bay prices (I never got back to many of these when they went to blus). Once you get to the cavegirls and random stuff, it's very hit or miss...I love Hammer Horror, but have next to no interest in Hammer pirates or hammer cavegirls or hammer sci fi. (I know, everyone loves Quatermass). So:

Frankenstein:
Frankenstein Created Woman (1965, Terence Fisher)*
The Horror of Frankenstein (1970, Jimmy Sangster)
Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell (1974, Terence Fisher)*

Dracula Non-sequel/Stand-alone films:
The Scars of Dracula (1970, Roy Ward Baker)*
The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires (1974)

Mummy:
The Mummy's Shroud (1967, John Gilling)

The miscellaneous stuff has some real goodies in it though....Man Who Could Cheat Death is good (though my Legend version has bit rot!), I LOVE the Hammer Phantom of the Opera, Night Creatures, Gorgon, Curse of the Werewolf, To the Devil A Daughter, also very good. The main one there I HAVEN'T seen that I'd like to is Abominable Snowman.

Countess and Twins of Evil are two of my very favorites, and I that's partly why I did a deal with those with Synapse, so I think our logo is still on the back of those DVDs. They sold much better than my exclusive deal for Frankenhooker. Ahem. But no more exclusives for me!

(Vampire Circus is probably my favorite non Cushing/Lee Hammer. That movie is freakin' great.)

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

I caught F13 and F13 2 last night. As far as I am concerned, the first four movies are GREAT, with 2 probably being my favorite (baghead, fast Jason scared the crap out of me as a kid.)

Past that....I pretty much think they're shite, getting progressively worse.

So Camp Crystal Lake isn't really a lake? A giant cruise ship can travel from a lake in New Jersey to New York. Paramount really didn't care by the time they got to part 8.

I took it as a series of lakes. Because as you know there is multiple camps around there. One must have an outlet to the ocean. But yeah a bit of a stretch all worth it though for "Welcome to New York".

This is the one I just snagged because the now OOP Blu Ray set is just insane when it comes to how much people are asking for it. You can snag Part 9, X and FvJ for Cheap on Amazon to complete the set for wayyyy less.

Only catch, no 3D glasses but most of the extras were ported over.

Looking forward to checking out Contamination .7 after your ringing endorsement. The Manster was the first film I watched for the first OHMC, so I'm definitely going to watch it. Might save it for last, early Nov. 1st.

I had pretty low expectations going in, but goddamn this was a fun one. The trailer had enough appeal I added to the queue a while back, but figured it wouldn't work.

A really cool throwback vibe and good kid acting. A nice addition to kids in peril genre that is taking over 2017 with IT CHAPTER ONE and the new season of STRANGER THINGS coming soon.

I started watching Tales From the Crypt during the 2011 challenge and I finally finished the last season today. Now I will need to find some other 30ish minute series to replace it.

You're welcome, but I'm twelve days behind in updating my list, so technically....

It's weird. I'm only watching like five films a day but can't find time to keep my list going, yet could keep up with over ten a day last year.

Thanks for the reminder. I don't like these much iirc, but seems cool to try to watch at least one of them every seven years here.

I watched The Descent earlier today. It was really good until it turned into just another lame jump-scare monster-of-the-week type film. The sequel wasn't worth the effort... and it looks to have been trying to set up a third film.

I'm an Abel Ferrara fan, but The Driller Killer (Pre-Release Version) was a tough one to get through. The drilling killing was really more of an afterthought. I did dig the old school NYC vibe as it reminded me a little of Taxi Driver. I also regret taking the "This film should be played loud" part seriously as Tony Coca-Cola was a bit grating on the nerves.

This will be one of the rare cases where we partly disagree Bob. The film does have three different acts with very different tones, but I enjoy each. Admit that you're likely correct in your assessment of the sequel, which I don't remember seeing. Coincidentally, I just opened an Amazon package with a four pack that includes the sequel. Plan to give it a go sometime this month.

On to Jason Goes To Hell, okay so the fat guy getting shaved by the coroner possessed by Jason is just Bizzare. A little off topic, but I have tried a few pumpkin spice foods. Sugar free Pumpkin pie creamer in coffee is actually really good. Coffee labeled as pumpkin spice is pretty gross and the flavor in it is to strong so I threw it out.

The 50-minute fan film Never Hike Alone is out if you're not tired of Friday the 13th yet.

Another quick watch in the same territory is Summer Lake Massacre. It's an Adam & Eve XXX production with all the hardcore scenes removed and some nudity left intact. A 47-minute "slasher" with porn star actors and a killer that appears to have escaped from a Rob Zombie movie. It is what it is.

Its a little harder to do a marathon of these movies than I thought. The Final Friday, Jason X, Freddy vs. Jason, and F13 '09. are all pretty different so I'm Okay to keep watching. I'll take a break for a day or two from long movie series marathons than I'll Probably start Halloween next. I have only seen the Original and I have the 10 disc Scream Factory set to watch, and I bought the Standalone Halloween 6 producer's cut movie to watch as well.
