The fine was $5 per viewer of the film. To get around this, the procurers didn't release The Exorcist in Mexico, but instead a film spliced with entirely different scenes and characters. This film was now lost and a holy grail for horror fans.

Waking up, I had no idea why I dreamed this, as I swear I haven't been thinking about The Exorcist or Santa Sangre recently.
This reminds me that I still need to watch Santa Sangre...

Trevor, do you remember what this lost cut looked like?

It is indeed my 10th challenge.

This week is turning out to be a nice change of pace. There have been a number of Halloween specials this week, so I've indulged in some comedies. I'll be ready to get back to the scary stuff in another day or two.

Sadly, I remembered a ton of details as I awoke, and even started scripting my post here in my mind. But as usual, as I stayed in bed and dozed off again, most of the details are gone.

Not to be a harpy on this, but didn't we decide to not think about best list until 11/07 or whenever the list completion deadline is? Seems unfair to vote if people are still going to put time into their list later.

Demon Inside is streaming on Netflix; its a serviceable spanish language movie about a psychic who is physically attacked so shuts herself up and installs cameras in an apartment. Theres some hallucinatiry imagery and it's a serviceable film - not a must see but enjoyable enough.

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

For today's George Romero theme, I had to watch Night of the Living Dead, the film that spawned an entire new horror genre. Nearly 50 years later, it still retains the power to shock.

I watched my Elite Millennium DVD that I bought in 2000 (has it really been 17 years?), and up to now it's been the disc to beat for picture and sound (the Mill Creek Blu-Ray has gotten awful reviews), but I suspect Criterion is going to release a definitive 50th-anniversary Blu-Ray next year, seeing that Janus Films has been exhibiting a new 4K remaster around the country

I watched Night of a 1,000 Cats last night. The US version is missing 1/3 of the movie, about 30 minutes which actually explains a lot. The US cut is a lot more enjoyable if you go into it thinking it's a pretentious art house masterpiece. I did this early enough that I got some enjoyment out of it, even with a lot of the movie involving a helicopter in place of today's drone usage.

Also watched Student Bodies which was ok. It's my second viewing but it still has some moments to it.

There's a blu out of Japan that looks very, very good and it's cheap.

It Follows.....( it blows!) I watched this yesterday. Bought it as a blind buy. Ghosts attacking teenagers after they have sex, that's how they pass it on to other people,. Really bad.

I feel like Demon Knight is an underrated film...I guess it came out pre-Scream when horror movies weren't doing all that well, but it never fails to be a solid viewing.

That is a really entertaining flick. It makes me wish they made more Tales from the Crypt movies in the 90s. I remember thinking Bordello of Blood tipped the balance too far into comedy, but it's been years since I've seen it.

Still debating on whether or not to watch Bordello of Blood and even the original Tales From the Crypt movie, but I don't remember liking Bordello of Blood as much as Demon Knight. I may pop in some episodes of the TV series as well. I've neglected the Crypt Keeper so far...

Speaking of Tales From The Crypt, I got some TFTC window clings a couple days ago at a Halloween store.

Jess Franco's Devil Hunter. Was it a cannibal or a zombie? It resembled one of the latter from the movie Sugar Hill, but with unfinished makeup effects. Whatever stock music library used had the same bird chirping through the entire duration as everyone wondered aimlessly through the jungle for what felt like 3 hours.

The Undertaker with Joe Spinell wasn't bad despite some editing problems. There were 6 minutes sourced from a VHS, and that's the first Blu-ray from Vinegar Syndrome I've encountered that looked less-than-stellar throughout.

Well, last year I started it 10/30 and the votes were pretty scarce. I just wanted to expand the voting window a bit and hopefully include some that flee the forum immediately afterward.

I decided on Monkey Shines for today's these; MS is definitely not the best way to remember George Romero. The Crazies (and Night of the Living Dead) was a much smarter and more interesting film that better explains Romero's contributions to horror cinema.

Fingers crossed we do get a stellar release for Night of the Living Dead from Criterion soon.

Demon Knight is a great film; totally under rated. I wonder if the 'Tales from the Crypt' monkier didn't hold it down some because it made it easier for people to dismiss it as some death knell from the tv series. Billy Zane is great and there's a lot happening. I was fortunate to see Demon Knight in theaters when it came out and I think it's held up very well over the years.

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

Last night I watched The Cabin in the Woods (2012) in a first-time viewing. I'm still not exactly sure what I saw or how I feel about the film. It's one very unusual piece of work... Just when you think it's going to be another rather generic "Group of people go to an isolated cabin and bad things happen" film, it does a hard left turn and just gets curiouser and curiouser... I really need to see this one again... after giving it some time to process... I really liked the ending.

I hope I can muster the motivation for a final push in these last few days. I haven't watched much lately, and my numbers show it. I am close to 30 away from hitting 100. I wonder if this will be the first year I don't hit my goal.
