Blood Harvest is brutal to get through. I watched it on Shudder vs buying the blu ray. thank god. When your only redeeming feature is Tiny Tim, you got issues.

So I dig it out and it turns out instead of the Guillermo del Toro movie I have this:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...nos_poster.jpg which was a 1985 art-house photography movie. I must've bought the wrong movie 15 years ago and never even noticed because I never got around to watching the majority of stuff I purchased. How could I have not even noticed the cover was wrong?!? I even filed it away alphabetically under "Cronos" and made a note in a database that I owned the del Toro movie. Jesus ... I wonder what other mysteries I have in my giant unwatched DVD collection? :lol: Man this thread is moving, and I've only ignored it for one day. There are some really great suggestions going on here, and I need a few hours to try and get my checklist in order before things go all to hell. Keep those suggestions coming. Watching Blood Beach, and I really love that Run Run Shaw is somehow connected to this gem. We really need a blu release of this movie. Finished up Little Evil this morning on the bus, and yes it was pretty cute and funny. |

Films based underwater and around the water will never get old to me; atmospheric underwater photography is captivating. It's a little disappointing that aquatic environments are so closely tied with killer shark flicks (which are not my taste).

Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 14th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/
I watched a made-for-TV movie called Tarantulas: The Deadly Cargo which is definitely a Jaws knock-off, right down to a cantankerous mayor who wants to endanger people to keep the local economy safe and an outlandish plan to kill the threat. Since it's a made-for-TV affair, the horror is kinda minimal, but ramps up when a group of people are caught in a dark warehouse with a mob of spiders. I'd recommend if you need a reprise from gore or if you find spiders scary.

So started my Ash/Evil Dead marathon and pulled out my old Anchor Bay Book of the Dead DVD. It's looking pretty worse for wear with pieces now crumbling and big cracks in it. How are yours fairing all these years on?

Watched the Synape Suspiria blu. Top notch visuals. Sound seemed uneven to me but I think that has always been that way due to the dub. But somehow, I like the movie less each time I watch it.

After playing some horror video game, with Alien vs Predator Pinball, I decided to take a day to binge Challenge viewing the rest of the day. So far I've seen two cartoons. Earlier I watched Scooby Doo! Pirates Ahoy!, on Boomerang. That was a first time view too, my third in three days. I just finished watching a Halloween episode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, on Disney Junior too. |

Anchor Bay shouldn't have cheaped out and instead bound the things in human flesh. |

I feel spoiled for choice tonight since I love creature features, and since my NIGHTWING blu ray didn't come yet, I'm feeling indecisive. I've seen Tremors but I might watch it since it's been so long I don't feel I can honestly cross it off my "They Shoot Zombies" list. The Swarm is another option. I love those 70's disaster movies though I'm sure, based on reviews, it's not very good. I've seen the original Piranha but not Piranha 3D. Choices, choices.

Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 14th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/
I can definitely recommend 47 Meters Down on Netflix. It's about two sisters on vacation in Mexico who decide to go on a shark viewing excursion and get stuck in a cage . . . 47 meters down. It's a solid action film that had me on the edge of my seat the entire time.

Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 14th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/
I Drink Your Blood was a crazy grindhouse flick from the 70s that felt like Night of the Living Dead meets the Manson Family. A group of hippies are hanging out in a small town and terrorizing the locals when a kid finds a way to infect them with rabies as retaliation. The final act is appropriately Gonzo.
I wasn't expecting much from it but I found it pretty entertaining, and the Grindhouse Releasing Blu-ray looked great. |

Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 14th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/
Ataud Blanco (White Coffin) was a pretty tense road movie about child abduction that veers into supernatural territory (while throwing logic out the window). This one didn't hold back, and it's only 70 minutes.
And already I've caught an accidental rewatch--Horror House on Highway 5. Another possibly LSD-inspired oddity from Vinegar Syndrome that's completely devoid of a plot. A killer in Richard Nixon mask (credited as Ronald Reagan), a Jennifer Lawrence doppelganger, invisible whipping noises straight out of Phantasm, bumbling Nazi brothers, etc. I actually enjoyed this mess of a movie. Great soundtrack too. |

Everything's sounding good to me right now. Probably by the end of the month that will no longer be the case. :-) 47 meters down looks good too, but I'm not a fan of claustrophobic films. They stray into the painful end of tension for me. I hate small spaces! Gravity was like that. Thanks for the suggestions, guys. |

One of my favorite films on the Jawsploitation list is Prophecy (1979). I've seen it recently so I won't watch it tonight, but I can recommend for anyone looking for suggestions.

Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 14th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/
Wow, awesome news on VS!
And I’ll second the Prophecy recommendation. Although not a good film like the Christopher Walker one, it’s cheesy 70s schlock that speaks to 10 year old in me. |

It's only after they time travel to the 1790's that it seemed something interesting could happen any day. Now it seems that what would've been a gigantic week ending cliffhanger could happen any day of the week. Though with the way the show is going now, I can see how they burn out by 1971. |
Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 14th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/
Ended up with 4 today -- Blood Beach, Bats (1999), The Swarm (1978) and The Great Alligator (1978).
I like aspects of all of them, but the only home run for me was The Swarm. I just love Irwin Allen disaster cheese. And f'ing hell, what a cast. It had everyone in it but God. Bats had so many things going for it. Lou Diamond Phillips was great, the mutant bat design was really excellent, lovely southwestern setting, strong production values. But the script was so predictable and the long action sequences just bored me they were so routine. No surprises in the ending. Still worth a watch and much better than the IMDB rating. Way better than most SyFy movies. |
Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 14th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/
Just watched The Amityville Murders (2018) and with the past wave of crappy Amityville films over the years this one stands out. It deals with the DeFeo murders that took place before the Lutz family moved in to the famous digs. Catch this one for sure. 3/5.

Watched Hell House, LLC... it was okay at best... watched the second one and was pleasantly surprised. Second one is down right creepy. I don't say that often as outside the unusual jump scare, I dont frighten. Part two had me turning on the lights as i went to bed.
Is it streaming anywhere? |

Just a friendly reminder that if you live alone and have mental health issues, maybe don't watch Roman Polanski's Repulsion after a rough day at work! This movie messed me up and played on a lot of my fears. Catherine Deneuve portrays such a bleak descent into madness, that I felt like I was in that festering, lonely apartment with her. |

Epic of Vinegar Syndrome to sign on as sponsors; they're a great company.
Good work, Chad! |
Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 14th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/
Wow! We are getting some great sponsors. Kudos to you, Chad for all you are doing.
My Challenge viewing came to a sudden stop earlier tonight. For some reason, my internet slowed down to a crawl. I was going to watch something on Roku, and it wouldn’t even connect to the internet. Even a paranormal podcast I am listening to right now is buffering constantly. |
