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/
IMHO Rosemary's Baby is highly overrated, although I did give it 7/10 when I watched it for the first time 4 years ago (during the 9th Annual Horror Challenge). My recollection of the movie is that I was feeling generous. I'd watch it again to be sure but have too many unopened titles awaiting my attention this year. Maybe next year.
I don't know that I've ever seen The Omen (when it came out I thought it looked rather lame) but I do have a copy awaiting my attention. Maybe this weekend...

So, for the Rondo Hatton Awards, it's just the horror films? Is an actor is nominated like Christopher Lee, then any film that has him in it?

I never even knew about the skip intro thing until yesterday when my kids were watching something on the xbox. It just automatically skips the intro if it's only credits at the beginning and I'm going from one episode to the next.

For my theme watching today I picked The Stranger Within, a 1974 made-for-TV flick in which Barbara Eden plays a woman who is controlled by the alien fetus inside her and the 2004 Zack Snyder Dawn of the Dead remake with the infamous zombie baby.

I did not enjoy Shelley (2016), it's so slow moving and subtle/cryptic , but directed artfully enough that I feel guilty not liking it.

While I agree that Rosemary's Baby is a classic in every sense of the word, it's just hard to sit through at times when you've seen it before. However, I'm currently watching Odd Thomas for about the 40th time and have never gotten sick of it...and it's nowhere near a classic.

Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 13th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/
Well-made, acted, and looks great (set in a desolate Dutch forest). Just ... is it too much to ask for a movie to actually go anywhere? Ultimately vague and unsatisfying for me.
Some other first-time views on Netflix that I've enjoyed:
I Am Not a Serial Killer: Interesting visual style, a great performance by Christopher Lloyd, and an interesting story that at first seems like it's going to be "Dexter as a teen" ... and then throws some wrinkles into it, and goes to some deep places.
A Dark Song: I liked how the movie really went into the nuts-and-bolts of an elaborate occult ritual. Not for those looking for a body count or a thrill ride. It's more interested in character study ... but a good little movie that is something different from what I've seen before.

I bought the Warner Archive MOD disc years ago. It could do with a remake because the story zips right along and has a scary, downer ending, but a larger budget could pay for some effects. TSW used to be on Youtube along with a ton of other ABC Movies of the Week, but it got yanked.

Duh ... just noticed it was the pick for tomorrow!
If it isn't obvious, while I participate in watching as much horror as I can in October I don't pay much attention to themes, assigned movies, and checklists. I know many of you love that stuff, but it just makes watching movies (and planning everything out) feel like work to me. I prefer to just watch what I want when I want.
I didn't get any sleep yesterday (nagging cough that's taking forever to go away). This might be a good night to break open Blu Rays of favorites that I've seen before. That way, if I nod off I don't miss anything Fighting the urge to take a nap because that will just screw up my sleeping schedule for the rest of the week (I'll nap for a couple of hours, then won't be able to fall asleep again, and the whole cycle will repeat another day).

OK - caught up on the thread!
I really enjoyed V/H/S and V/H/S/2, but have only heard bad things about V/H/S Viral. Did anyone like it?
I was also let down by House of the Devil the first time I saw it, but absolutely loved it the second time. Another movie this happened with was Kill List - now I consider that one of the best horror movies of the decade!
Rosemary's Baby is one of the best horror movies, in my opinion. It doesn't get old to me and I find Mia Farrow's performance amazing. Probably my second favorite Polanski film (I still prefer Chinatown). Also, I definitely really enjoy Odd Thomas as well! As you said, not a classic, but really solid and holds up on multiple viewings!
Thanks Chad! I purchased Idle Hands and 976-EVIL. I'm still hoping a better edition of Saw is released on BD someday.
I saw the Producer's Cut of Halloween 6 for the first time this year, and felt that the theatrical was better. I wasn't a fan of
That being said, what are your guys' thoughts?
I have heard so many good (in a WTF way) things about this movie that I have to see it. It sounds absolutely insane!
I know what you mean, but now, it adds to the charm. However, hearing "Bob!" and also Bob's voice did make the movie lose any tension it had. Still enjoyed it!
Thanks for this list, Bob! This will be great!
I just saw The Brides of Dracula for the first time, and really enjoyed it!
Whew! Hopefully I'll be able to keep up for the rest of the month! Sorry for making everyone read a novel...
Now to find time to update my list!

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.

Time for my novel!You won your prize, no need to butter up to Rich anymore.
Ugh, me too.
Mama was a great short. Not sure how they thought it could be stretched into a full length film.
I've seen the trailer in the theater twice in the last 18 hours. Looks like a lot of fun, but I'm a sucker for the Groundhog Day formula. Plan to see it tomorrow. It's a sure thing to be better than today's Flatliners. That was a remake the world didn't need.
Ugh, me too.
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.

That's what I thought at first too. But I took a chance and ordered it a few weeks ago. So far, it's all good. They didn't charge me until the day I activated the card. And I've used it two days in a row without a hitch. Works at my local Regal, just two miles from the house, and the cheap tickets there are $14, so even just one movie a month it'll be worth it, but I imagine I'll do at least two a month, and 5-6 in Octobers.
Yeah, I hate that stuff.
Those sound good, thanks for the queue building!
There's nothing like finishing an unsettling, atmospheric film only to have Netflix fuck it all up by starting a commercial right when the credits begin. I think it was 8 seconds I had to arrow over to the tiny box to return to my movie and the lingering atmosphere, but that was already greedily murdered by new arch-enemy, Netflix.
I have tried everything I know to do. I have auto-play turned off; I have all of the boxes unchecked and buttons off regarding being included in test or experimental viewing. But still the same result. And their CS is practically non-existent. Really bumming out my October.

Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 13th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/
The Transfiguration is an interesting modern vampire movie streaming on Netflix. The pacing is a little slow because it's a mood piece for most of the run time but despite that I especially enjoyed it. It's sort of like Moonlight for closeted deranged vampire film lovers, just the right amount of macabre twist in a gritty urban tale.
Residue, also on Netflix, lured me in with what seemed to be an interesting Lovecraft inspired premise and despite Max Headroom and X-files' Smoking Man it was mostly nonsensical with relatively little hallucinatory imagery (kind of aimless) and mostly mediocre production values. Possibly my most disappointing film this challenge (no bad, it's just how do you mess up a set up like that and abuse the availability of cult actors?). Lukewarm.
Agreed that Repulsion > Rosemary's Baby but I feel like Rosemary's Baby is more accessible and rewatchable.
I've always enjoyed the theatrical cut of Halloween 6 and when I eventually saw the Producer's Cut being unsure what all the hype over the years has been. I'm due for a revisit but I think part 6 is easily under rated. I liked the astrology stuff.
I have noticed that the selections on Netflix seem more specific to certain distributors like IFC or XLRator, along with a lot of foreign titles. IFC has some good titles though (Devil's Candy, I Am Not a Killer, Evolution, Road Games, Autopsy of Jane Doe, Baskin, etc); even their subpar titles seem like slickly produced attempts.

My last movie tonight is a Nightmare on Elm street 2: Freddy's Revenge. It's quite possibly the most unintentional Horror comedy ever made.
