I shouldn't have taken the title literally, or maybe I should have. It is a strange film, but not in a good way.
I watched it last night too and kind of liked it Maybe it helped that I went in knowing it was a movie by Walerian Borowcyzk, best known for The Beast (a fairy tale/horror/porno about bestiality).

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

Finally caught up in the thread. Been a busy month and has tanked most of my horror viewing between being on the other side of the country for business at the beginning of the month and then my rescheduled Disney vacation a week ago. Disappointing that we had to reschedule it for October(one of many Irma reschedules). Second October in a row with a vacation interrupting my challenge, but sure am glad to be back in time for Stranger Things Season 2. (Also glad I got a vacation)
I've enjoyed reading up on what you all have been watching this month. I look forward to getting a few more in before November starts and finishing up what looks to be a promising Stranger Things second season.

This week I did get in The Babysitter which I had zero expectations for. I had a lot of fun with it. I followed it up with Hush which I thought was rather effective. And this morning I got in Gerald's Game. I enjoyed it less than the other two, but still really liked it.
Spoiler:
Totally winced with the escape from the handcuff
Its been a good week with those highlights even though it has been really light.

Sorry for your loss, Chad. My cat passed away two years ago and I still haven't worked up the nerve to adopt another one. It's just devastating.

Very sad to hear that here as well. It took us over two years after my wife's cat. Pets are just such a part of our lives.

Bummer about Chad's cat, I know that's a real gut punch. Good luck.

AMC has the Leprechaun movies, it seems like all of them, if you're a brave soul.

Let Us Prey is such a good movie. Second year in a row of watching it for the challenge. Also first time view of Cabin in the Woods. This one seems to be really polarizing to some, but I got a good kick out of it with the last 25 minutes pulling out all the stops. I think I'm closing in on finishing up the checklist. Probably finishing up tomorrow with Tim Lucas commentary for Count Yorga. I've got time for maybe two more before crashing.

Sorry to hear about the cat, Chad. These things are so utterly difficult.

Been a cat family all my life, so know the pain you're going thru Chad. Prayers thoughts and hope for comfort to you.

Cats seem to end up in an awful lot of horror films, so I hope seeing them in the future somehow brings only good memories. Just saw one in this current viewing, Constantine.

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

Had a really strange experience randomly watching stuff on Netflix; tuned in to Belief: The Possession of Janet Moses expecting an over the top Exorcist rip-off only to find a chilling true crime documentary about actual events of a family attempting to exorcise a loved one. It's got some cultural commentary and a really interesting case known as the Wainuiomata Exorcism made even more curious in 'accidentally' stumbling on it. I think I'm so jaded from found footage films I didn't think it was a true story until I did more research into it on internet and found it sobering.

The Commentary checklist item haunts me, 'masters of commentary' is the last mandatory checklist item I've got - need to settle on a good one to subject myself to. Probably going with The Fog for John Carpenter commentary...

Girl vs. Monster, on Netflix, is a family movie but surprisingly competent - probably not worth diverting your normally scheduled adult oriented viewings for but if you have kids and feel the pain of frequently looking for kid appropriate stuff then it's one of the better ones in my opinion. I'll admit I might have enjoyed it more than my kids did, sort of a teen pop poor man's Ghostbusters that goes all in on campy cartoonish live action.

I watched the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie last night and didn't enjoy it as much as I think I have in the past, it doesn't seem to hold up for me.

I revisited Scouts Guide and really enjoyed it, I'll definitely be checking out Cooties in the next few days if people think Cooties is better. I noticed that the same director as Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse also directed Happy Death Day.

Really appreciate the sentiments from everyone. The challenge has actually been a real asset; all the films I'm watching lately are a good distraction.

That was a little rough, but I'm just thankful it wasn't as heartbreaking as the scene in The Autopsy of Jane Doe.

I had a pleasant surprise tonight. A local B Movie show just aired the original Night Of The Living Dead. The Dish Guide had said it was going to be Track Of The Vampire, which I never heard of. I missed Svengoolie tonight, but it was a Hammer film, I think. It was Brides Of Dracula.

So far this month I've seen two movies that use 'smart' glasses to tell a story through first person 'augmented reality' perspective, both Let's Be Evil and JeruZalem. It's kind of weird seeing such a unique gimmick repeated across films and makes me scared of our inevitable augmented reality future.

Silly question, but if we watch the same movie twice, can or should we add it to our list again?

Only if they're different versions of the film (directors cut, extended TV cut, etc) or with a commentary or riff track.

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

I did some work on my checklist this morning and I have about 18 things to watch to complete the checklist. Def won't be done by Nov 1, but I started the challenge quite late. On the other hand, I'm on track to watch 40+ horror films this month, which is a record for me.

Last night I watched Bill Paxton in Tales from the Crypt: "People who live in Brass Hearses", just to get Bill Paxton. He was amazing in that. Honestly amazing. What a talent.

SO the challenge is def getting me to watch things I wouldn't have. I plan to watch the Buffy musical episode "Once More With Feeling" today to get Buffy, the make-up artist, and genre musical. :-) I watched Buffy years ago and loved it, but haven't revisted it in ages.

Ordered The Autopsy of Jane Doe from Amazon after the positive reviews here, and it arrived today just in time to squeeze it into this year's challenge.

While we have been paying tribute to departed actors, directors, etc., last night I decided to pay tribute to a fallen retailer by finally watching ARMY OF FRANKENSTEINS which I picked up for $.99 at Hastings last year. I really miss Hastings. I could always finds something offbeat in their stores, and I placed small orders from their online site 2-3 times a month.

I finally watched The Wicker Tree. What an embarrassment that was. Now I need something to wash that terrible taste away.

I'm really sorry, Chad. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts.

PM or email.

Is this your 10th horror challenge?
So far I have:
  • cwileyy
  • clckworang
  • Gobear
  • shadokitty
And what an incredible 10 years its been! I had actually lurked and participated on my own for a couple years before then, but once I joined, the experience was infinitely better!

Now, it just isn't the Halloween season without you amazing people!

I wish that I could have done better for my 10th challenge, but with the baby, I'm glad I'm able to watch anything! Definitely need to update my list, and hoping to be able to watch a few more before the challenge ends!

I know exactly what you mean. This is my favorite time of the year, and there's still so much I want to see and do!
