I took off today to get a jump start. Started with Cat People and Curse of the Cat People. Simon makes the first film. The second really is a very tame family drama. Each time I watch it my opinion of it drops.

I'm hoping to use this challenge to get my mind off things. We went to the vet today, since one of our boxers was going downhill fast. He didn't come home with us.

That is the best thing I've seen today. I need one to brighten up my work days!
Really sorry to hear this. Wish there was something that could be said to make you feel better. Hope you found something good to distract you. Big hugs.

That was a very unique movie. I enjoyed it, but it's not for everyone. I love how little the movie attempts to explain what's going on with the villain. Apparently the director's original version of the ending was even more vague.

Got an email from Severin today about the limited edition blu Blood Island Collection (BRIDES OF BLOOD, MAD DOCTOR OF BLOOD ISLAND, BEAST OF BLOOD, & TERROR IS A MAN), so I went ahead and bit for the box set. I've seen trailers for one or more of them, so it's not exactly a blind buy. Won't be here until November, though, so I'll crack the box for the next Challenge.

That box set is a must own. the commentaries by Sam Sherman are gold.

Not saying that I don’t occasionally enjoy some aspects of the “genre”, but the exploitation/erotic emphasis on the checklist is always a dicey obstacle for me to dance around and still be a completist. Can usually navigate without too much exposure to the worst of the worst, but today I failed. Thought Bigfoot vs DB Cooper might be bearable schlock, it had Linnea Quigley listed in the credits after all! But it turns out that she was barely a cameo, and voice only at that! The rest of the film was maybe 10% first person shots of “Bigfoot” spying on shirtless men, 5% laughable action of Bigfoot clawing said shirtless men, and 85% shirtless men dressing and posing with guns and showering. Nothing explicit, but this was obviously the non-porn version of a gay porn film. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but not at all what I was expecting going in.

First night last night was a dud for me. Dressed to Kill has never been a favorite, I thought Mandy was terrible, and The Toybox was really, really dumb (though I wasn't expecting high quality in a movie starring Denise Richards and Mischa Barton about a possessed RV). Tonight, I decided to watch a few favorites as well as the subset pick. The Burbs is a movie I could watch over and over again and I'm currently watching Night of the Living Dead, which is classic.

Really sorry to hear that. I went through the same last year, and the challenge was a good distraction.

I kicked the festivities off with the classic Tumbling Doll Of Flesh (1998).This one is a brutal Japanese sickie along the same lines as the Guinea Pig series and August Underground. You won't find much of a story here, just body parts being removed and blurred out Japanese genitalia.

I'm impressed with how well Night of the Living Dead still holds up. I can never pick a favorite from Romero's original Dead trilogy and it always ends up being the last one I watched. Night is full of social commentary and maintains a near constant feeling of dread. This is one classic that deserves that status. And the Criterion blu-ray looked excellent.

Also watched Lifeforce (just ok for me) and Dead & Buried, which I loved.

Thank you everyone for the well wishes. I’ve watched a few things for the Challenge tonight, with one of our remaining boxers in bed with me. First was a first time view, on SyFy, the Nicholas Cage vehicle, Drive Angry 3D. I don’t know if it would be considered a great movie, but I actually enjoyed it. I followed up with a sitcom, the Halloween episode of Everybody Hates Chris , on MTV2. And I just finished an episode of Paranormal Survivor that was sitting on my DVR. One of the encounters was a Hag haunting a single mother.

I just watched Little Evil. It's been on my to-watch list since last year. It was different than I expected and I really enjoyed it. It was funny without being over the top. It may be one that I watch every year.

Excellent of Seth/CelluloidTerror to donate a $20 Diabolik credit.
Those prizes from Cult Epics look like they pulled out all the stops.

Laddaland is so far probably the scariest movie I've seen this month (all 26 hours of it so far at least) and balances suburban angst with terror; if people need a Thailand based film to consider for the checklist you could do worse. Some imagery is cliche and economic anxiety elements overexaggerated but overall it has more melodrama and weight than average.

Damn you pacaway, mikewendt, Giles, Don M, and Mountain Biker!!! I try to post my list late enough so I end up on the last page and I'm knocked off by one post 
You guys better not bail on maintaining your lists now 
I'm tackling BrainDead on Amazon Prime, and it was disconcerting when the first channel I landed on when I went back to cable was an all-news channel. Now it's hard for me to not imagine alien brain eating bugs behind things in Washington
