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.

Really? I thought the first one was well-done and quite scary, so now I want to see the second one even more.

Pleasantly surprised by Secrets of Emily Blair on Netflix, it's a routine enough possession film with some but with a bit more situational drama and sly humor than average with a woman on the eve of her marriage navigating all the parties and family meetings while demonically infested. It actually seemed less appealing to me as it went on and her condition worsened into more generic full archetype exorcism mode.
Mill of the Stone Women is the classic of horror movies no one has ever seen before. Definitely needs more attention.

I just got a reminder of how my DVD buying was out of control in the 2000's. Even though I upgraded it to Blu Ray, I thought I still had a DVD of Cronos around to lend to someone (who didn't have a Blu Ray player). So I dig it out and it turns out instead of the Guillermo del Toro movie I have this:
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?

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.

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).

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.

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.
Mine are falling apart as well. I removed the discs for fear the chemical fumes from the decomposition of the plastic might damage them.
This has been on Svengoolie a couple of times over the past year. I thought it was a lot of wasted potential, like most made-for-TV movies.

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.

With the dozens of editions of the Evil Dead films, are we sure this hasn’t happened?

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.
