I've seen Tom Noonan everywhere this month, and I really like him. It seems like I'm seeing a lot of the same actors in the past few days (Bait, You're Next, Late Phases).
I LOVED House of the Devil first time...but it lost something each time I watched it afterwards.

And Martyrs...man I thought that movie was so overrated. Not bad...but so overrated.

I watched Satanic Rites of Dracula last night. I have no idea why. Joanna Lumley is NO Stephanie Beachem!

If they cut the Myers family stuff, the bullies at school, and asylum portion out of the movie and expanded on the teens, it would have been much better...kind of like the original did. The first hour was unbearable, though.
Well...good on ya for giving it another try!

Broken backs that act up periodically make for good excuses to binge Challenge material. As long as I'm stuck in bed, why not make good use of my time.

I was going through last year's prize pack from Hamilton Books when I discovered it included the title everyone's been talking about... Frankenhooker! So I watched it. And yes, it was terrible.

That doesn't inspire confidence in my recent purchase decision.

I've heard nothing good about Andy Milligan movies.

I kind of liked Bloodthirsty Butchers. That was the only one of his I'd ever seen before.

I'd describe Andy Milligan as someone that figured out a way to time travel. His first adventure was to go into the future where he discovered Mill Creek's 50 movie sets and made it his goal to make films that would be perfect for those sets. The movies that people on Amazon reviews would rate low, not the better films that give you a reason to buy the set.

Then he went back to his original time and the rest is history.

I suffered through Guru, the Mad Monk. It was supposed to be around the 15th century and remember someone wearing corduroy pants. Was going to say The Naked Witch was alright until the IMDB says it wasn't the Andy Milligan one. Explains that.

Andy Milligan is in the Ed Wood vein - but maybe even worse. He makes movies ideal for DaveyJoe drinking games with a lot of rowdy friends to shout at the screen MST3K style. His movies can also be used as a solid remedy for insomnia.

Shut your mouth! I love Frankenhooker.

I'm surprised I didn't see Firestarter listed on any of the King adaptations posted thus far. I don't read King myself, but I've been told by die-hard fans that it's the most faithful adaptation. Not the best per-se, but most true to the book. I re-visited the movie this month and have to say I was quite impressed how much better it was than I remember (been 20 years or more). Kind of feels like a Carpenter movie with its pace, too.

Great, now you've got me curious to watch Andy Milligan films.

I am enjoying the challenge this year. Looking at some of the lists I am amazed that some people can watch up to 12 movies in a day. That would be awesome.

It's awesome, but it sucks at the same time. I'm really enjoying this more than I have in years, but I also lost my job of 15 years before the challenge began, so there's a price to pay.

Got a good laugh out of this one. Here's a poor diagram to demonstrate:

Time Travel To Future ------> Discover Mill Creek 100 pack on 3 disks ------> Time Travel To Past ------->Director Extraordinaire!

Earlier this evening I watched Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse (2015). I've not laughed so much at a single movie in quite a long time! It was quite fun.

It was fun, but think I liked Cooties a bit better.

I loved Cooties! Made me laugh quite a bit. I'm a big fan of Elijah Wood and Alison Pill.

I watched Mama, a movie I blind-bought because it stars Jessica Chastain. While I enjoyed the atmosphere and acting, there was too much unconvincing CGI and plot contrivances. Of course, some plot has to be contrived, but there were too many people conveniently popping up. Still, I like ghost story and Chastain so this is probably going to stay in my collection.

Yeah, I watched that last year and it was a great time. I plan on getting to it before the end of the challenge.

That said, I wish they'd come out with an official release for The Midnight Hour, which was a TV movie from the 80's. I have what I think is a bootleg, but 'd like to see it cleaned up. It's full of cheesy goodness and came out during that Thriller/Return of the Living Dead timeframe, which it has similarities with...

It's interesting how many films fit into today's 'friends' theme. Dolls, Alucarda, Martyrs, Pin, and those are just a few subset films. I guess at the end of the day horror is as much about buddies as it is about gore, sex, and ghosts.

I revisited The Revenant (2009), a film about a soldier who strangely wakes up after being dead a month hungry for blood and uses his undead status to become a vigilante gunslinger with his best friend as the thrill of things and the consequences of undeath spiral out of control - I think it's a worthy and too often overlooked vampire-ish film with a modern spin on horror conventions.

I think I am only going to watch Nightmare on Elm street 1-4, instead of the whole series. Last time I watched the whole set, I thought 5, 6, and 7 were pretty bad movies. I have a small unwatched pile of Scream Factory/Cannon movies, and the Halloween complete set. than I'll probably be done for the challenge. I shouldn't have any trouble exceeding my previous challenge total of 55.
