Re: The 16th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/31) ***The List Thread***

List finalized.

Goal: 20

- All first time viewings, unless indicated by a *.
- I'm on iCM: http://www.icheckmovies.com/profile/mightysparks/
- TSZDT: https://theyshootzombies.com/

2010: 28
2011: 176
2012: 306
2013: 182
2014: 158
2015: 144
2016: 43 (dropped out)
2017: 12 (dropped out, I guess, I don't even remember)
2018: 19
2019: 129


September 30
1. I'm Thinking of Ending Things (2020) (5/10)
Review/comments: The car scenes are painfully dull. Farmhouse scenes full of tension and atmosphere, but the rest of it is mostly annoying.
2. Horse Girl (2020) (6/10)
Review/comments: Alison Brie is great. Character development is gradual and done well, as the cracks begin to show. Breakdown comes on a little too suddenly and starts to lose its way. Enjoyable, regardless.

October 1
3. Mom (1991) (6/10)
Review/comments: Some goofy charm makes it enjoyable, but a lack of gore and too much melodrama in the middle make it less memorable.
4. Harpoon (2019) (7/10)
Review/comments: Characters are awful and yet delightful to watch as their toxic friendship falls apart, great sense of humour and fantastic ending.

October 2
5. Blue Monkey (1987) (6/10)
Review/comments: Somewhat stylish, the creature is cool and Steve Railsback is likable. But most characters are annoying (unfunny comedic reliefs and useless screaming woman), and there is just not enough creature or gore.
6. Noita palaa elämään (1952) (5/10)
Review/comments: Mirja Mane brings an innocence to her seductive witch character and is a highlight, but none of the characters really make any sense and it doesn't feel like much happens.

October 3
7. Schatten - Eine nächtliche Halluzination (1923) (6/10)
Review/comments: Some interesting shadow imagery and ideas of shadows and truth, but doesn't quite explore this enough and doesn't have a lot of atmosphere.
8. Happy Death Day 2U (2019) (4/10)
Review/comments: Nice that it tried something new, but terribly unfunny and relies too heavily on the audience investing in unlikable, flat and boring characters. Emotional parts are sugary and painful.

October 4
9. Stridulum (1979) (6/10)
Review/comments: Some great cinematography, but terrible editing and acting. The music works sometimes and is completely random and out of place at others.
10. The Psychopath (1966) (5/10)
Review/comments: Dull, lacks tension and a sense of mystery. It's obvious who the killer is and the whole film seems to be centered around wanting the crazy German doll lady in a film.

October 5
11. The Wretched (2019) (4/10)
Review/comments: Contains every awful generic stereotype and cliche you can think of and is not fun at all. Horrible teen characters and over reliance on jump scares and stupid twists.
12. The Return of Doctor X (1939) (5/10)
Review/comments: Pretty dated with the awkward editing, wooden acting and exposition about blood. But Humphrey Bogart is goddamn hilarious, laughed the whole time he was stroking that rabbit.

October 6
13. Bluebeard (1944) (5/10)
Review/comments:
14. Luther the Geek (1989) (5/10)
Review/comments:

October 7
15. A Study in Terror (1965) (5/10)
Review/comments:
*16. 28 Days Later... (2002) (9/10)
Review/comments:
*17. Resident Evil (2002) (8/10)
Review/comments:

October 8
18. Ju-on (2000) (4/10)
Review/comments:
19. Poltergeist III (1988) (4/10)
Review/comments:

October 9
20. Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III (1990) (6/10)
Review/comments:
21. Ye ban ge sheng (1937) (4/10)
Review/comments:

October 10
22. La orgía de los muertos (1973) (5/10)
Review/comments:
23. Linnaisten vihreä kamari (1945) (5/10)
Review/comments:

October 13
24-27. The Haunting of Bly Manor (2020) (7/10)
Review/comments:

October 14
28. Abbott and Costello Meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1953) (5/10)
Review/comments:

October 18
29. Otis (2008) (8/10)
Review/comments:

October 19
30. Koko-di koko-da (2019) (8/10)
Review/comments:
31. 12 Hour Shift (2020) (6/10)
Review/comments:

October 29
32. Possessor (2020) (6/10)
Review/comments:

October 31
33. Vicious Fun (2020) (4/10)
Review/comments: Painfully unfunny, but does get better as it goes on. Mostly thanks to Ari Millen's charismatic and energetic presence.
*34. Pitch Black (2000) (10/10)
Review/comments: Goddamn I love this movie

Total = 34

Re: The 16th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/31) ***The List Thread***

Mallratcal's 12th October Horror Movie Challenge!
Oct 1st
#TitleRatingNewFormatRun TimeYear
1.Mikey☠☠½ VOD92 Min1992
A fairly decent killer kid movie, Pretty different from how I remembered it when I saw it on VHS a million years ago. They way it was shot made it look like a made for TV movie.
2.The New Kids☠☠VOD89 Min1985
Filmed in 1985 but I guess the town this was filmed in didn't keep up with the latest fashions, everyone dressed like the 70s. Really good cast.
3.The Hunt☠☠½VOD90 Min2020
Pretty funny at moments but once they started explaining things in the 3rd act in kind of lost steam. I didn't recognize Ethan Suplee at first.
4.Backcountry☠☠½VOD92 Min2014
A couple get attacked by a bear after they become lost in the wilderness. Takes awhile to get going and there is not many bear scenes but the gore they used was effective.
5.Häxan☠☠☠☠DVD105 Min1922
Finally watched my old DVD. The content itself is very dry but there are some nice effects and costumes, also horned up devils and the movie ends with: SLUT.
Oct 2nd
#TitleRatingNewFormatRun TimeYear
6.Body Parts☠☠VOD88 Min1991
I may have seen this before but don't really remember. Feels like there were scenes removed as there's not much character development, stuff just happens.
7.The Prophecy II☠☠ VOD87 Min1998
Gabriel is back to kill the unborn messiah. I like that the series has kept the coroner stuff going and Gabriel not knowing how to use technology. Not a very exciting movie though.
8.The Grudge (2020)☠☠VOD94 Min2020
First Grudge movie I've seen. I like that it's a direct continuation of the original movies though. I'm a little confused by the rules, the realtor just poked his head in at first and got grudged, and he was allowed to go kill his wife. Did this create a grudge situation in their house? Also why didn't the ghost kill Goodman's first partner? I have questions, movie!
9.I See You☠☠☠VOD97 Min2019
Pretty good mystery surrounding the disappearance of a kid and then strange things begin to happen in the home of the detective working the case. Hope I never get Phrogged.
10.The Ghoul☠☠☠½VOD77 Min1933
A bunch of thieves and greedy folk try to get their hands on a valuable jewel that also bestows immortality in the Egyptian afterlife. It's got a lot of funny moments, some of the acting is pretty stagey (looking at you Ralph) but that was the style at the time. Light on ghoul action though.
Oct 3rd
#TitleRatingNewFormatRun TimeYear
11.Becky☠☠VOD88 Min2020
Escaped prisoners terrorize a family while looking for a key. It's really paint by the numbers, nothing new or interesting to the formula.
12.The Belko Experiment☠☠½VOD89 Min2016
Office workers have to kill one another in order to survive. This was fine. Some funny moments.
13.Bloody New Year½VOD90 Min1987
Thought this was going to be a slasher but instead it's a ghost story, caused by an experimental aircraft causing a time warp...thing. Britain in 1987 looked very '70s.
14.Of Unknown Origin☠☠☠VOD88 Min1983
A man goes to war with a giant rat. Things don't get real bad for him until he accidentally kills the rats babies. It's pretty entertaining to see Peter Weller destroy his home with a baseball bat in the final act.
15.Laid to Rest½VOD90 Min2009
Slasher film where characters make all of the nonsensical moves. Richard Lynch is in it for a minute., So is Lena Headey. It actually has a nice cast.
Oct 4th
#TitleRatingNewFormatRun TimeYear
16.Berserker½VOD85 Min1987
The spirit of a Norse Berserker posses a relative who then attacks a group of campers. Movie has some serious pacing problems when the campers wander and hobble through the woods after the first attacks, but you do get to see a guy wrestle a bear.
17.Hellgate☠☠½VOD90 Min1989
The father of a murdered girl gets a magic crystal that can bring the dead back to life. Not many deaths and this would have sucked if not for the 4 main characters, they were fun together. Still wondering why the father had metal bits glued to his face. The girl gets murdered by the wimpiest biker gang ever, one of the gang survives the opening of the movie only to attempt a heroic rescue during the climax where he gets owned in 2 seconds. The escape from Hellgate was also pretty good.
18.Humongous☠☠VOD97 Min1982
Group of friends get stranded on an island with a deformed crazy person. Forgot I had watched this a few years ago.
19.Red State☠☠½VOD88 Min2011
Religious extremists vs the ATF. I thought the movie was going to be about the torture of the 3 teens the church abducts but it becomes a crime/action movie halfway in. Has a nice apocalypse swerve though.
20.Slime City☠☠VOD82 Min1988
A guy rents a new apartment where he eats some green food from Nilbog and then has fully clothed sex with a neighbor only to end up as a muck-man. The only way to cure the muckies is to kill someone. Turns out everyone in the building is a cult member who had previously killed themselves so that they could posses new bodies, and they did that just for the hell of it. The final battle was fun. Set in NYC and there is a detective named Irish O'Bannon.
Oct 5th
#TitleRatingNewFormatRun TimeYear
21.Edge of the Axe☠☠½VOD91 Min1988
A maniac starts hacking people up with an axe in a small town. There's some weird computer stuff but it was the 80s and they didn't know any better. You could see where the twist was going but they executed it well.
22.The Silence of the Lambs☠☠☠☠☠VOD118 Min1991
It's a great movie.
23.Horror Express☠☠☠½VOD88 Min1972
An apeman runs amok on a train. Turns out it's an alien that absorbs peoples memories through it's eyes, turning it's victims into smoothbrains. Telly Savalas hams it up for a bit and is fun. This was pretty good. It's a hollow victory though, the Russians have orders to kill everyone on the train, which I imagine happened right after the credits.

A demon possessed laundry machine starts killing people and all the powerful people in town are a part of it. There's also a possessed fridge (it made contact with the laundry machine). The machine becomes a crappy CG monster at the end. Vanessa Pike plays one of the oldest looking16 year olds I've ever seen.
30.Fear No Evil½VOD99 Min1981
An elderly couple give birth to Lucifer and there are 3 angels who are looking for him. We meet up with Lucifer in High school, there is a gang that goes to his school but they don't hassle Lucifer and are pretty nice to him, the leader even makes out with him in the locker room showers. This gives Satan a case of the not-gays, and he does a sex dream with the girl he likes (she's the 3rd angel) and kills her boyfriend. The 3rd angel is a charisma vacuum who stares dumbly in every scene. Satan has his big coming out party where he makes some zombies who kill the school gang. (it's very sloppily and hastily done) Satan gives the gang leader a pair of sweet boobs and then makes out with him again, causing the leader to stab himself. Before the angels kill Lucifer they have a chance to save one of the girls of the gang but just stand and watch Lucifer sacrifice her for some reason. It's pretty boring except for some of these bizare moments.
31.Psycho II☠☠☠½Blu-Ray113 Min1983
I suspected Mary was messing with Norman's brain and she was. She was working with her mom to get Norman sent back to the booby hatch, but then the killing begin. Turns out Norma was actually Norman's aunt and not his mother, (or at least that's what the old lady at the end claims) but Norman makes her his new mom in the end. I like how they kept things ambiguous to Norman's mental state, until he caves an old woman's head in with a shovel, that is.
32.Black Christmas (2019)☠☠VOD92 Min2019
I appreciate that it wasn't a direct remake, instead it's about a frat house killing sorority girls who they felt has wronged them and they are imbued with the magical power (just makes them zombies really) they gained from the bust of the founder of their college. The PG-13 hurts it, it's not particularly good or funny but it's not bad, just sort of 'meh'. If you are triggered by "wokeness" you're gonna have a bad time. Cary Elwes shows up as the cult's leader.

Direct continuation from part 2. A reporter is investigating the disappearance of the old lady claiming to be Norman's mom. That old lady turned out to be a liar and was just Norm's aunt after all, so she deserved to get her head crushed by a shovel. At the motel Norman has a new front desk employee who used to be nun, and she just so happens to look like Marion Crane, and this sets things rolling again.
34.Possessor☠☠☠VOD103 Min2020
The Possessor takes control of a target to carryout assassinations, to do this they have to abduct the target and place a receiver in their brain, and at that point it seems like the whole operation would be to large to keep secret. This was good, not very violent but the violence it had was very bloody.
35.Pet Sematary II½VOD100 Min1991

36.From Hell It Came½VOD70 Min1957
A tribe in the Pacific kill an innocent member of their tribe and he comes back in the form of a tree to get his revenge. Probably because as soon as they killed him they started partying down. There are of course Americans on the island, trying to teach them about medicine to cure the plague that has infected the tribes people. Groot kills people in the laziest of fashions, just picking them up and dropping them from waist high. I blame the monster suit, it looked like it was hard to walk in it and the arms could barley move. In the end Groot grabs Lady Scientist (who has one of the ugliest screams ever recorded, it's like a screech owl being set on fire while it gargles glass) and tries to gently drop her to her death, only to be killed by good old American guns, and that's what gets the tribe to finally accept the white-man's ways. The movie would have been better if it spent more time with the tribe and less with the Americans who just stood around talking science for 70% of the movie.

I do appreciate that they showed the killer early on and didn't have a twist reveal. Other then that it was pretty bad, bad acting and not a lot happens.

Boring and there were a few scenes where extras were just staring into the camera in the background. Maybe they weren't extras but just confused locals?
38.Dr. Terror's House of Horrors☠☠½VOD98 Min1965
Five men on a train get their fortunes told through a tarot deck. Story 1 is about a werewolf. 2 is a plant that has become intelligent and attacks a family. 3 is a Jazz musician stealing a voodoo song. 4 is an art critic being menaced by a severed hand, and 5 is vampires. None of them are particularly exciting. The voodoo story has a great bit where the musician is spying on a ceremony and copying down the music while unbeknownst to him more and more voodoo people are gathering behind him.

First story is a wooden Indian statue coming to life to avenge the murders of 2 shop owners. 2nd is The Raft, where a tar monster eats 4 teens on a lake. And the 3rd is about a woman who runs over a hitchhiker and then gets attacked by it's ghost. I had completely forgotten that 3rd story. The wraparound is a nicely animated tale of a boy and his meat eating plants. I won this Blu-ray in last years challenge and as a homage to the 3rd story: "Thanks for the movie, Goldenwheels!"
40.CryptzVOD78 Min2002
Vampires' in a strip club. Considering this was an "In the hood" movie they should have made the vampires a gang like, I don't know........ the Crypts? Or you could even do something with the Bloods. This is why I should have been a producer on this movie. The three main characters never shut the fuck up and they got annoying after awhile. The vampires notice (and cutoff) a tattoo on the protagonist, that will give them powers over the dead, but if all they needed was someone with that tattoo they could have just made their familiar get that tattoo rather than waiting to find someone with it by chance. But I'm putting too much thought into this. These vampires could also be killed by having their necks broken/heads slammed against walls. Weak.

46.Monster Dog½VOD84 Min1973
2nd movie this week where a group of people head to a big old house to shoot a music video. This time they are attacked by dogs. Alice Cooper plays the lead, and a posse of townsfolk try to kill him because they think he is a werewolf. They call the beast a werewolf but it looks like a deformed dog, they didn't show it much because the effects were not great. Movie begins and ends with a music video, probably to pad the runtime. Not great but it moved quickly.

I like that the found footage style gets dropped once the zombies hit.

A weird kid finds a pit full of monsters and he begins feeding people to them. The kid is weird but people are pretty mean to him.

The bit where people were just obliviously falling into the giant hole was pretty funny.
58.City of the Living Dead☠☠½VOD93 Min1980
A priest hangs himself and opens the gates of hell in Dunwich, the original Salem. The scene where they have a roomful of worms shot at them must have been unpleasant.

The ending should have been a little more clear, I know more footage was shot for the ending, oh well.

Really wooden acting and the main character got to be pretty grating, always sniping at people. A team of paranormal investigators and private security try to rid a house of a ghost, a witch ghost, dun dun dun. They try to do this with a ghost vacuum device. Now the witch ghost needs a physical medium to restore his body, he takes control of one multiple times to kill people and then he lets her go, but all he has to do to restore his body is have the medium eat his cremated ashes, which she does, (no water or anything, better than the cinnamon challenge) but not until the end and after they have found his heart. If he had acted earlier he would have won easy, so I'm going to say that witch ghost was a bit of an idiot.

The Black Racer kills teens at an abandoned ski resort. The ending is a mess, the red herring gets KOed but a second later the protagonist is being chased downhill by someone on a snowmobile who gets their head chopped off. But at the killer reveal (super obvious btw) the red herring is shown with their head on and no sign of a decapitation. So did the killers trap chop their own head off, only to heal himself up like wolverine? Or did the director get confused while watching the editing and forget that the red herring was supposed to be decapitated? It's doesn't matter, the killer gets sucked into a snowplow.

To resurrect the Count they need to kill the children of the men who killed him, but one kid does not get killed and the Count comes back just by pulling the stake out of his chest, so maybe all the vampires had to do was that and he didn't need to wait 15 years.

The son of Satan appears at the end and the protagonist reads a magic spell and becomes an alien and the two fight, with alien-boy striking first with a kick to he balls. The demons get defeated by a spell, and if someone had kept reading the journal all of their friends would still be alive. Movie was a mess.

How can your kids hug you with nuclear arms? A radiation leak at a nuclear plant changes kids into zombie like creatures that just want to hug everybody, and can only be killed by chopping off their hands.

Odd scene: The father of a zombie holds the now dead sheriff's head in his lap overnight, not his dead son or daughter but the sheriff.

A bunch of teens raid a company that has kidnapped their friend and find zombies for their trouble. Very low budget so the requisite bad acting/dialogue are present. This supposed giant corporation apparently employs nobody and the security around the zombies is nonexistent, an alarm goes off and they are told they have 10 minutes before police are notified, and when an incorrect security key is used it results in a system failure and all of the zombies are set free. Zombies don't need a headshot to be killed, a shot to the body works for most but some zombies can talk and have motivations other than eating brains, they also have fist fights, weird.

115.Dracula (1992)☠☠☠½VOD128 Min1992
Good movie with good effects. Reeves is not good, however.
116.The Babysitter☠☠☠½VOD85 Min2017
Really funny.
117.The House of the Dead☠☠VOD80 Min1978
Dull and very predictable anthology. A plumber laying some pipe (if you know what I mean) ends up at a funeral home where he learns about the people in the caskets. First story is a teacher that hates kids, so he gets bitten to death by them and their hillbilly fangs. 2nd is a killer who records his crimes (super boring). 3rd is 2 detectives having a pissing contest and one is going to kill the other. 4th is a office worker gets trapped in a box and then fed nothing but booze (worst story). And the plumber is the final coffin, as if you didn't already know that.
118.Lord of Illusions☠☠½VOD121 Min1995
Watched the director's cut. I like Harry, and following the mystery around an illusionists death but the end feels rushed and to use a word from the movie "hokey", and there are characters that just disappear and I wonder why they were there in the first place.
119.Hack-O-Lantern☠½VOD87 Min1988
🎵 "You're the Devil's son!" 🎵

120.Shaun of the Dead☠☠☠½VOD99 Min1986
Still funny and Edgar Wright is a fantastic director.
121.The Wretched☠☠VOD98 Min2019
Had higher hopes for this as I heard it was like Fright Night, but it has pacing problems and is just not exciting.
122.The Rift☠½VOD83 Min1990
The crew of an experimental sub go looking for the wreckage of another sub only to find a secret biolab and the sea monsters it has created. Also there is toxic mutant algee that starts to take over the ship, and a traitor on the crew, gotta have one of those. Another one that was just not interesting, I thought it was a TV movie at one point.
123.Halloween II (2009)Blu-Ray119 Min2009
It's still bad. I've only ever seen the director's cut but some of the scenes go on forever or are unnecessary and it feels like a slog. Everyone is always yelling and swearing so it lessens the impact of both, it's my main gripe about Zombie
124.Death Warmed UpVOD82 Min1984
Movie starts with a doctor taking a young man from behind in the shower and giving him an injection in the butt. ok. It ends with that young man later repeatedly penetrating that doctor, with a knife and crying. Take from that what you will. The doctor is doing brain implant experiments down at the local booby hatch, and these patients get loose and kill everyone on the island, when a hospital employee goes nuts, but in his defence the doctor did try to have him killed. No real ending, a power line falls on the main guy and kills him and it just ends.

125.It Chapter Two☠☠½VOD150 Min2019
It's about the same as the first movie, though I wasn't so hot on that one either. I liked Bill Hader and James Ransone, and the running joke about not being able to write endings.
126.Random Acts of Violence☠½VOD80 Min2019
The trailer looked good, it was decieving. This was boring narativly and visually, lots of tight shots and shakey-cam. It's about a comicbook writer getting attacked by the serial killer he wrote about in his comic.
127.28 Weeks Later☠☠VOD100 Min1986
Another one I've been meaning to watch for a very long time. It was nice to see a more realistic military encounter with zombies. Dad zombie making it until the end kind of killed it. Hawkeye is in this and he plays a sniper (of course), and Imogen Poots in her 3rd acting credit and first lead.
128.The Rocky Horror Picture Show☠☠☠☠☠Blu-Ray100 Min1975
A classic and I watch it every year.

129.The Return of the Living Dead☠☠☠½VOD91 Min1985
Starts slow but the characters are great and Linnea Quigley is in her prime, and I've always liked the theme music.
130.From Hell☠☠½Blu-Ray122 Min2001
The idea of Masons covering up a secret royal baby is a good story.
131.The Masque of the Red Death☠☠☠½Blu-Ray89 Min1964
Good looking sets and costumes.
132.RLM Halloween Spooktacular 2020☠☠☠☠☠VOD92 Min2020
Wildcard watch, it's great like every year.
133.Scream, Queen! My Nightmare on Elm Street☠☠☠☠VOD99 Min2019
Really solid doc. that covered a lot of stuff that I didn't think it would. Very good.

The Unofficial Early Start Period (9/15-9/30):
Spoiler:
9/15/20

**) Screaming in High Heels (Screaming in High Heels: The Rise & Fall of the Scream Queen Era) (2011) - Documentary about Linnea Quigley, Brinke Stevens, and Michelle Bauer.
**) Shock Cinema Volume One (Shock Cinema Vol. 1) (1991) [Film Star] - Brinke Stevens hosts this documentary featuring several film makers talking about making low budget horror movies. Way too many commercials on this channel.
**) 100 Years of Horror: "Dracula and His Disciples" - Christopher Lee and others discuss Dracula on stage and on film.
**) 100 Years of Horror: "Blood-Drinking Beings" - Christopher Lee and others discuss vampires not named Dracula, bats, and vampire-like aliens, etc. on film.
**) 100 Years of Horror: "Frankenstein's Friends" - Christopher Lee and others talk about Frankenstein movies.
**) 100 Years of Horror: "Baron Frankenstein" - Christopher Lee and others talk about Frankenstein movies again.
**) 100 Years of Horror: "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" - Christopher Lee and others converse about Jekyll and Hyde movies.
**) 100 Years of Horror: "Werewolves" - Christopher Lee and others chew over various werewolf movies.
**) 100 Years of Horror: "Bela Lugosi" - Christopher Lee and others reminisce about Bela Lugosi's life and career.
**) 100 Years of Horror: "Boris Karloff" - Christopher Lee and others reminisce about the life and movie career of Boris Karloff.
**) 100 Years of Horror: "Ghosts" - Christopher Lee and others pass on some spirited tales of movies about ghosts.
**) 100 Years of Horror: "Phantoms" - Christopher Lee and others exchange views on various versions of The Phantom of the Opera and The Invisible Man.
**) 100 Years of Horror: "Witches" - Christopher Lee, witches in movies... Man, this is getting repetative. With 100 years of movies to choose from, why are they repeating clips?
**) 100 Years of Horror: "Demons" - Christopher Lee and others talk about demons and ancient gods (and Freddy Krueger?) in movies.
**) 100 Years of Horror: "Mutants" - In this sort of Potpouri category episode, Christopher Lee and others discuss a multitude of (mostly) bipedal creatures, aliens, and monsters in movies.
**) Home Sweet Home (1981) [B-Movie TV] - It's Thanksgiving day, and the "Body-by-Jake" guy escapes from a mental asylum and kills a bunch of people. I've seen this one before, but I wanted a break.
**) Le Chatteau Hante (The Haunted Castle) (1897) [YouTube] - Méliès short film where people and things appear and disappear in a cardboard castle corridor.
**) Le Manoir du Diable (The House of the Devil) (1896) [YouTube] - Another Méliès short film where more people and things appear and disappear in a cardboard castle corridor.
**) Open House (1987) [B-Movie TV] - A serial killer is killing female real estate agents. Another one I'd seen before, but it had been a few years, so I figured I might as well watch it again.

9/16/20

**) 100 Years of Horror: "Freaks" - Christopher Lee and the usual suspects discuss actors with deformities and movies about people with deformities.
**) 100 Years of Horror: "Scream Queens" - Christopher Lee and a few others talk about women who have screamed in movies.
**) 100 Years of Horror: "Girl Ghouls" - The subject this time is female main villains in films.
**) 100 Years of Horror: "Maniacs" - Maniacal killers in movies.
**) 100 Years of Horror: "Gory Gimmicks" - Discussion of movie exploitation. Color, 3D, subliminal messages, urban legends, insurance policies and other gimmicks.
**) 100 Years of Horror: "Sorcerers" - Sorcerers, satanists, mesmerists, etc.
**) 100 Years of Horror: "Aliens" - Alien menaces.
**) 100 Years of Horror: "Mummies" - Mummy movies
**) I Am Nancy: Never Sleep Again II (2011) - Heather Langenkamp speaks with Robert Englund, Wes Craven, Jessica Craven, and a number of fans about A Nightmare On Elm Street and her character Nancy. A Fun, interesting, funny, and touching love letter to both Wes Craven and the fans of the series.
**) 100 Years of Horror: "Zombies" - Zombies in movies. It was almost funny hearing some guy politely say that Night of the Living Dead was an "adaptation" of Richard Matheson's book I am Legend, instead of just calling it a rip-off of the movie Last Man on Earth.
**) 100 Years of Horror: "Mad Doctors" - Crazy scientists doing crazy shit in movies. The clip from the amateur film Hugh Hefner made as a kid was probably the highlight of this one.
**) 100 Years of Horror: "Man-Made Monsters" - Golems, robots, computers, medical experiments gone wrong.
**) Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy (2010) - An entertaining and interesting deep dive into the entire series with interviews with many of the people involved.

9/17/20

**) 100 Years of Horror: "Giants" - Big people, big monsters, big insects.
**) 100 Years of Horror: "Dinosaurs" - Dinosaurs, Godzilla, etc.
**) Biography: "Bela Lugosi: Hollywood's Dark Prince" - Peter Graves, Forrest J. Ackerman, Bela Lugosi Jr., Ray Walston, and a few others talk about Bela Lugosi.
**) Biography: "Boris Karloff: The Gentle Monster" - Peter Graves, Forrest J. Ackerman, Sara Karloff, and others talk about Boris Karloff.

9/18/20

**) His Name Was Jason: 30 Years of Friday the 13th (2009) - Tom Savini and a shit-load of other people (a few who were actually involved with the movies) talk about the movie franchise.
**) The Men Behind the Mask (2009) - More from eleven guys who have played Jason. Kane Hodder is the only one of these guys I could've named, or picked out of a lineup.
**) Final Cuts (2009) - More from nine directors who made the movies.
**) From Script to Screen (2009) - More from 5 screenwriters who wrote the movies.
**) Dragged from the Lake (2009) - A bunch of deleted & extended interviews from the movie.
**) Fan Films: Freddy vs. Jason in 30 Seconds and Re-Enacted With Bunnies - Bad cartoon, but, hey, it was short.
The Angry Video Game Nerd: Friday the 13th Episode - Idjit yells at a vidja game.
Jason Hurts - Not very amusing fake drug commercial.
Rupert Takes Manhattan - Jason's less succesful brother Rupert doesn't do much.
**) Closing the Book on The Final Chapter - The director of The Final Chapter, and "Rob", tour the house used in the movie.

9/19/20

**) Fox Comes Home - Biker chick from part 3 visits the barn used in the movie, in 2D!
**) Friday the 13th in 4 Minutes - The director of Wrong Turn 2, the director of Hatchet, and some fat guy tell the plots of the movies in just over four minutes.
**) Jason Takes Comic-Con - Cast members of the 2009 movie are interviewed at SDCC.
**) The Camp Crystal Lake Survival Guide - Faux educational film with most of the people from the movies giving advice on what to do, or not to do, at Crystal Lake.
**) Inside Halloween Horror Nights - Complete tour of the Universal Studios attraction which was shown in the movie.
**) Shelly Lives! - Guy who played Shelly in Part 3 does a fake lawyer commercial, in 2D!
**) Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History of Friday the 13th (2013) - A deeper dive into the series, directed by the same guy who did His Name Was Jason, reusing lots of the interviews from that film (and from the extras on the DVD), along with several new ones, to make an epic-length look at the entire series, including the TV series of the same name. This one kind of makes His Name Was Jason an unnecessary watch, but there's a pretty good after-credits gag that plays off a joke in His Name Was Jason that, while still understandable, works much better if you've seen the earlier film.
**) The Texas Chain Saw Massacre: A Family Portrait (1988) - Interviews with the cast members who played the family in Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
**) Evil Dead 1&2: The Musical (2003) - Fairly amusing musical adaptation of Evil Dead & Evil Dead II. I'm not usually a fan of musicals, but I mostly enjoyed this.
**) Fanalysis (2002) - Short film by Bruce Campbell about fans.
**) Discovering Evil Dead (2002) - Interviews with the guys who distributed Evil Dead on VHS in the UK.
**) Blood, Boobs & Beast (2007) - Interviews with various people talking about B movie maker Don Dohler, along with behind the scenes footage while making a movie and some footage with him and his family at home.

9/20/20

**) The Meateater (1979) [American Horrors] - A middle-aged guy quits his job and buys an abandoned, rat-infested movie theater. He and his family clean it up a little and begin showing "wholesome movies." On opening night the projectionist gets electrocuted, then police find the hanged desicated corpse of the previous owner inside a locked room. Later, after a bunch of scenes of people eating or talking about eating, the crazy old guy who lives in the theater abducts the theater owner's teenage daughter, thinking she's Jean Harlow (yep, it's some kind of Phantom of the Opera thing). Man, did this one suck.
**) Terror in the Aisles (1984) - Donald Pleasence and Nancy Allen talk about horror movies as we watch a bunch of movie clips.
**) Flesh Wounds: Seven Stories of the Saw (2006) - Various people talk about filming The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and what they've done since, along with a visit to the house used in the movie (at it's new location).
**) Texas Chain Saw Massacre: The Shocking Truth (2000) - Most of the cast and several film crew members talk about filming and releasing The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Then there's some discussion of parts 2, 3 & 4, Gunnar Hansen walks through the restaurant that the old house had become at the time, and it all ends with "where they are now" credits for everyone interviewed (and a few who weren't).
**) Room 237(2012) - Interviews covering several competing wacky theories about alleged symbolism in The Shining (ranging from Native Americans to the Holocaust to sex to "the moon landing was fake," and maybe some I've forgotten). Trying to say every continuity error, or item which appears onscreen (even the helicopter shadow!) is really a "clue" to some secret meaning that only you understand seems more than a little narcissistic to me. Call me crazy, but maybe the cans of Calumet and Tang were in the food pantry just because they are food items. And if they are so important, what about the other items seen in the same shot? Then the guy talking about the moon landing being fake, after misstating the distance from the earth to the moon, says "there's only two words that you can come up with" from the capital letters on the key to "ROOM No 237" - "and that's MOON and ROOM." He missed MORON, which for some reason jumped right out at me while listening to him babble on. I was glad to see online that the director didn't necessarily agree with the theories presented (I thought I saw a few clever edits which made it look like he was just humoring them), and that some viewers also saw it as critical of the them (I was beginning to think I was becoming like the theorists in the movie and was reading too much into a movie), so I'll stick with my interpretation since I enjoyed the movie that way.

9/21/20

**) From Romero to Rome: The Rise and Fall of the Italian Zombie Movie (2012) - Interviewees discuss Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, and Zombi 2, and how they led to a zombie explosion in Italian cinema. They talk about Fulci a lot, then move onto quick discussions about a bunch of Italian zombie movies (and cannibal movies), then finish back in America talking about a few more recent zombie films.
**) Halloween: 25 Years of Terror (2006) - Several people (some involved with the movies) talk about the Halloween movies.
**) The Evil Dead (1981) - w/ commentary by Sam Raimi and Robert Tapert
**) The Evil Dead (1981) - w/ commentary by Bruce Campbell

9/22/20

**) The Evil Dead II (1987) - w/ commentary by Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell, Scott Spiegel, and Greg Nicotero
**) "Manos" The Hands of Fate (1966) - w/ commentary by Tom Neyman and Jackie Raye Neyman-Jones
**) Hands: The Fate of "Manos" (2015) - A few people who worked on "Manos" The Hands of Fate talk about making the movie.
**) Megan Is Missing (2011) [B-Zone] - Found footage flick that wastes a lot of time following a group of unlikeable teenagers doing uninteresting things. Then, finally, after a bunch of that useless crap, one girl meets an anonymous guy on the internet, and later gets abducted. Then her friend gets abducted by the same guy, and they show us a half hour or so of torture porn, and the anonymous guy digging a hole, and it finally ends. Unfortunately, I've seen worse.

9/23/20

**) The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) - w/ commentary by Tobe Hooper, Gunnar Hansen, and Daniel Pearl. I think I had listened to this one before on the old DVD.
**) The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) - w/ commentary by Marilyn Burns, Allen Danziger, Paul Partain, and Robert Burns (with a special appearance by Edwyn Neal by phone), moderated by David Gregory
**) The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) - w/ commentary by Tobe Hooper, moderated by David Gregory
**) The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) - w/ commentary by Daniel Pearl, J.Larry Carroll, and Ted Nicolaou, moderated by David Gregory. Watching and listening to several "making of" documentaries and commentaries made over the span of a few decades, you can't help but hear stories change, or contradict.

9/24/20

**) Twisted Issues (1988) [Other Worlds TV] - Shot on video "splatter comedy" about a skateboarding teen who gets hit by a teenage gang's car, then has his body dumped in a parking lot where it is found by a teenage doctor and his teenage nurse. They take the body somewhere and bring him back to life. So he kills the doctor, then screws his old skateboard to his foot, dons a fencing mask, and goes after the gang that killed him, all while accompanied by a bunch of random clips from TV and lots of crappy music. If you can stick with it until the end, it gets even weirder.

9/25/20

**) Svengoolie: "The Old Dark House (1963)" - I figured I'd take this time to clear some Svengoolie episodes off the DVR. Tom Poston is an American who delivers a new car to his British friend at the friend's old dark family estate. Horror comedy co-produced by William Castle and Hammer Films. I'm not certain, but I think I had seen this movie before. The Svengoolie stuff was new to me at least.
**) Svengoolie: "Berserk (1967)" - Joan Crawford and Michael Gough are the owners of a circus that loses its star high-wire performer in a tragic accident during the opening credits. Then a new high wire act suddenly shows up, gets hired, and hooks up with the much older Crawford. Following another death, a Scotland Yard detective shows up to investigate. Then we get to see a few cicus acts, plus some Pepsi-Cola product placement. This was another one where I had seen the movie before (but didn't remember much about it), but the Svengoolie stuff was new to me.
**) Plaga zombie: Zona mutante (2001) [B-Movie TV] - Subtitled Spanish Zombies. Well, I've seen it before, but it's Friday night and I don't feel like getting off the couch, so sure, why not?

9/26/20

**) Svengoolie: "Village of the Damned (1960)" - Every inhabitant of a small English village suddenly falls asleep for some unknown reason, and anyone unfortunate enough to enter the village undergoes the same fate. Several hours later, everyone in the village wakes up, and before long all the women capable of bearing children (whether sexually active or not) discover they are pregnant with rapidly developing babies. Soon the women give birth to children with strange eyes, hairs and nails who grow rapidly and can read minds. It had been about a decade since I last watched this movie, so I figured I might as well watch it.
**) The Sleepover (2012) [Other Worlds TV] - Really short film about two kids and a babysitter and a masked serial killer. The one that played before this one (most of which I missed) looked better.
**) Little Corey Gorey (1993) [B-Movie TV] - Crappy film about a kid and his evil step-brother and evil step-mother who abuse him just for fun. After the brother dies in an accident, he ties up the mother, puts the brother's body in the freezer, and some other crap happens. Eventually it ended.

9/27/20

**) Vampire Over London (1952) [Other Worlds TV] - Bela Lugosi battles an old Brit drag queen. I've seen this before, but I caught it as it started, and figured I might as well give it another watch since it isn't very long.
**) The Jar (1984) [American Horrors] - Crappy film about a guy who happens upon a car accident and takes the driver of the wrecked car to his home. The accident victim soon disappears, but leaves behind something wrapped in a paper bag - a bottle containing a plastic demon, which possesses the guy, causing him to see a bunch of random, uninteresting things. I had seen part of this one before. For whatever reason, several years ago, just after getting a Roku, I kept tuning in to this movie playing (on different channels, I think), but I always missed the beginning. So when I saw the title, I figured I ought to watch it, if only so I could finally check it off on icheckmovies and never subject myself to it again.
**) Blood Link (1982) [American Horrors] - Michael Moriarty has nightmares followed by visions of women being killed. After some research, he discovers that he was separated from his conjoined twin when he was a kid, and they were adopted by different families after their parents died. Following clues in his visions, he travels to Europe and tracks down his murderous twin. According to icheckmovies, I watched this just over a year ago. Can't say I remembered anything about it really.
**) Monday the 16th (2019) [American Horrors] - In this mildly amusing short film, Jason Vorhees returns to his boring office job (and his wacky co-workers) the Monday following his latest "camping trip."

9/28/20

**) Svengoolie: "The Deadly Mantis (1957)" - Giant prehistoric bug is released from Arctic ice and heads south. Took some digging, but I found another Svengoolie show with a movie I haven't alrady seen dozens of times. It's been a while since I last watched this one.
**) Svengoolie: "Night of the Lepus (1972)" - Classic goofy pic with Stuart Whitman, Janet Leigh, Rory Calhoun, and DeForest Kelley battling giant bunnies. Another one I haven't seen recently, so figured why not?
**) Alien Species (1996) [B-Movie TV] - IMDb lists it as "Sci-Fi" only, so it doesn't count, but since I'm not counting it, so what? Two detectives are transporting two criminals by van when aliens attack earth. After the van crashes, these four join up with three others and hide out in a cave, which just happens to be some sort of secret base used by the aliens for sinister reasons. I had seen this one at least once before. Charles Napier (who I've often confused with Bo Svenson) playing a small town sheriff, in what is barely more than a cameo, is the only thing of note in this time waster.
**) The Flesh and Blood Show (1972) [American Horrors] - Pete Walker proto-slasher about a bunch of actors getting killed. It's the feel good hit of the season. Another re-watch.

9/29/20

**) Monster Squad: "The Wizard" [Other Worlds TV] - Gopher's crime computer somehow animates three monsters (the Werewolf, Frankenstein's monster, and Dracula, played by Buck Kartalian and a coupla other guys I didn't recognize) exhibited at the wax museum where he works, and they all fight crime. Like Adam West's Batman, but with monsters as superheroes (makes sense since this show was developed by Stanley Ralph Ross, who worked on Batman). The team battles a bad guy called the Wizard who shrinks a few famous landmarks. It wasn't very good, but it was something I'd heard of but never seen and was a little curious about, and I found out the 13 episodes have been released on DVD. Long story short, I now have all the episodes and a day and a half to waste...
**) Monster Squad: "Queen Bee" - Unfortunately the first episode isn't an origin story. Instead we get Alice Ghostley as the Queen Bee who plans to use South American Killer Bees to take over the world. Dracula follows one of her drones to her hideout and is captured. After a while, the rest of the squad shows up and saves the day.
**) Monster Squad: "Mr. Mephisto" - An evil doll maker builds exact duplicates of city officials which he has programmed to be bad. While investigating the bad guy's doll factory, Dracula and Frank are captured after being mesmerized by the bad guy's two hot hench-dolls' hypnotic eyes. Gopher and the Wolf Man eventually set them free.
**) Monster Squad: "The Tickler" - Gopher is almost arrested for passing a counterfeit one dollar bill, and his crime computer deduces that the Tickler (a sad clown who can't laugh who Gopher sent to prison sometime in the past) is responsible. The Squad goes to investigate, but it turns out the Tickler was setting a trap for them so he can ultimately get Gopher. It's up to Gopher to save the day and defeat his arch enemy.
**) Monster Squad: "The Ringmaster" - Billy Curtis kidnaps some orphans (he says there are twenty thousand, but we only see six). The Squad members dress as clowns and sneak in to free the kids. Man, just when I thought these were going to be watchable, they go back to crap.
**) Monster Squad: "Music Man" - After Marty Allen and his two henchmen rob the Natural Causes Telethon, the Monster Squad goes into action. Dracula and Frank sign up for music lessons, get captured. Gopher saves the day, again.
**) Monster Squad: "No Face" - The mayor sells the city to Chief Running Nose (Sid Haig!) for $24. As the new owner of the city, Chief Running Nose orders the mayor to cut the police force in half, and disarm those who remain. Later the mayor goes on TV and legalizes all crime. Eventually the real Chief Running Nose shows up at the wax museum (what luck) and tells Gopher that No Face is disguising himself as others and carrying out the evil deeds. Bruce the werewolf gets captured by No Face. Can Drac and Frank make it in time to save him?
**) Monster Squad: "The Astrologer" - Jonathan Harris is an astrologer whose predictions are always wrong, so he decides to make his most recent prediction of an upcoming earthquake that will send California into the Pacific Ocean happen by detonating an atomic bomb on the San Andreas Fault (hey, it's Lex Luthor's big plan two years before Superman: The Movie). Even the supporting actors in this one were recognizable faces. That's two pretty good episodes in a row.
**) Monster Squad: "Ultra Witch" - Julie Newmar causes a world-wide milk shortage in hopes of getting her boyfriend the Wizard (who doesn't appear until the next episode) released from prison. Cookie dealer Dandy Andy drops off some free cookies at the wax museum (because cookies aren't selling without milk) and mentions that only one customer is still buying cookies, so the squad stakes out the cookie shop, then Dracula follows the customer to the witch's lair, where he gets captured, of course.
**) Monster Squad: "The Skull" - Prolific character actor Geoffrey Lewis resurrects a mummy and causes a city-wide blackout. He sends the mummy out to steal a diamond. The crime computer locates the drain on the city's electricity, and Frank goes to investigate and gets captured (surprise!). The Skull stupidly tries to electrocute Frank, but instead charges him up. For once, the monster didn't need saving.
**) Monster Squad: "The Weatherman " - Avery Schreiber causes a blizzard to cover the U.S. with 40 inches of snow. He says he will stop it if the American people vote him in as president, and if they don't he'll make it worse. Then he hits Alaska with a monsoon, just to prove his weather control machine still works, I guess. Bruce the werewolf gets frozen, the Weatherman wins the election, the Hulk (I mean Frank) bursts through a steel reinforced wall, Frank and Drac defeat the Weatherman and save Bruce. Yay!
**) Monster Squad: "Lawrence of Moravia" - Frank and Bruce investigate a robbery at a plumbing supply warehouse. They spot the bad guys outside the warehouse and follow them to Lawrence of Moravia's hideout. Lawrence recognizes Frank and Bruce as monsters, and tries to recruit them to help him steal a giant pearl, but they refuse, so he knocks them out and chains them up. Leaving the monsters in a deathtrap to drown in oil, Lawrence and his henchman go to steal the pearl.
**) Monster Squad: "Albert/Alberta" - Pairs of animals go missing from a few zoos, and Gopher suspects hermaphrodite Vito Scotti. Turns out he's right. His/her plan is to melt ice bergs and flood the world if the governments of the world don't pay him. He's been collecting a pair of every type of animal, and just needs a male werewolf and a male vampire bat to complete his collection. Luckily Bruce and Dracula come along and get captured.



Official List (9/30-10/31):
Spoiler:
9/30/20 (Dusk to midnight)

1) The Las Vegas Serial Killer (The Hollywood Strangler in Las Vegas) (1986) [YouTube] - Pierre Agostino plays another serial killer in another Ray Dennis Steckler movie. I guess it's a sequel to The Hollywood Strangler Meets the Skid Row Slasher (1979). Appears to have been shot MOS on 16mm. Killer gets released from prison early for reasons, walks around Vegas for a few minutes, and ends up in a strip club. Two other guys walk around not doing much. Then we see the killer watching people at a pool party, and he grabs a girl and strangles her with her own bikini top. Cut to the two guys watching a parade. Then they go to an airshow. The movie keeps cutting back and forth between the two guys and the killer. The killer occasionally strangles a woman. The two guys occasionally steal stuff. Mildly interesting as a time capsule of mid-'80s Las Vegas and environs, but there's not much else to see here.
2) O Estranho Mundo de Zé do Caixão (The Strange World of Coffin Joe) (1968) - Anthology film with Coffin Joe introducing three stories by José Mojica Marins. "O Fabricante de Bonecas" ("The Dollmaker")- An old dollmaker, well known for the realistic, "expressive" eyes of his dolls is rumored to have a hoard of cash because he doesn't trust banks. One night, four punks decide to break into his home and steal the money, but when they see the dollmaker's four attractive daughters, they decide to take something else instead. A decision they soon regret. "Tara" ("Obsession") - A film with no dialogue about a baloon seller (well, he's carrying around a bunch of balloons for some reason) who stalks a woman who's dating another guy, who she eventually marries. The newlywed bride is murdered on the church steps, and after her funeral, the balloon guy breaks into her tomb and not much happens. Yeah, this one wasn't very good. "Ideologia" ("Ideology") - The longest of the three stories. José Mojica Marins plays a professor who is being interviewed on TV. After the interview he invites the reporter and his wife to visit him at his home where he will prove his theories. Cut to his house, which looks like a low-budget TV horror host's set. The TV reporter and his wife show up, and Professor Coffin Joe escorts them to his basement, where a few half-dressed people are writhing around. When the couple tries to leave, a Lurch-like mute servant blocks their way, and Professor Joe forces them to sit and watch a show. Unfortunately I had to watch it too. At least the first story in this movie was watchable, so it wasn't a total waste of my time.
3) Nigel the Psychopath (1994) [YouTube] - Some kids decided to put on a show and made this shot-on-video "movie" with bad acting and bad special effects about a guy wearing a gas mask who kills some kids, while some other kids hunt him down. I saw this listed on the B-Zone's schedule earlier today and figured I might as well watch it, but I found a copy on YouTube and realized that I had enough time to watch it before B-Zone is scheduled to play it.

10/01/20

4) Mahakaal (The Monster) (1994) - Two hour plus Indian Nightmare on Elm Street rip-off. There's actually a somewhat decent horror movie here if you can struggle through all the singing and dancing, fighting, and not-at-all-funny comic relief that makes up most of the movie.
5) Harvesters (2001) [YouTube] - Written, edited, and produced by Don Dohler. A gang of small-time crooks is fleeing a botched liquor store robbery when their car breaks down somewhere in Maryland, so they take refuge in a nearby house. Basically a remake of Don Dohler's earlier film Blood Massacre (1991) (with Dohler regular George Stover returning, this time playing one of the family instead of one of the crooks). I could've done without the bad CGI, but the movie surprisingly wasn't half bad. The copy on YouTube is followed by a trailer and an entertaining making of short that was worth sticking around to watch.
6) Creature with the Atom Brain (1955) - German mad scientist resurrects dead people. His gangster benefactor uses the resulting super strong atomic zombies to kill his enemies. Police investigate.
7) CarousHELL (2016) [tubi] - A single mom forces her vapid, social media obsessed teen daughter to babysit her obnoxious little brother while she's at work. So to kill time before dragging the kid to a party with her idiot friends, she takes the kid to the amusement park where her boyfriend works. The kid rides the carousel, and after having to put up with snotty, disgusting kids for a year, Duke the unicorn finally gets so fed up with his job that he breaks free from the carousel and goes on a killing spree. Yes, that's actually the plot to this movie.
8) The Incubus (1981) - Someone or something is killing men and raping and mutilating women.

10/2/20

9) Slashers (2001) - Japan's number one game show, "$LA$HER$" (where six contestants have to complete a course and avoid getting murdered by costumed killers to win millions), welcomes six American contestants (well, Canadians pretending to be Americans). This started out okay, but that didn't last long.
10) Revolt of the Zombies (1936) [YouTube] - During World War I a guy makes a squad of unstoppable zombie soldiers. After he is killed and his zombie instructions are stolen, a group goes off to Cambodia in search of a replacement. I had seen this a couple years back, but I didn't really remember much about it, and after seeing a clip from the film a couple of weeks ago I wanted to give it another watch.
11) Ceberrut (2016) [B-Movie TV] - After their most recent YouTube video was laughed at, four Turkish college students, hoping to make a viral video, decide to spend a night in a haunted house. The setup wasn't bad, too bad the payoff wasn't as good.

10/3/20

12) The Coven (2002) [B-Movie TV] - An ultra-low-budget rip-off of The Craft with boobs and blood. New girl starts attending college. Everyone tells her to stay away from three girls on campus, because they are witches. Turns out she's a witch too and the girls want her to join them so they can form a coven.
13) Hollywood Kills (2006) - Hollywood producer abducts people, then tortures and kills them while filming it.
14) Office Killer (1997) - Carol Kane is a low-level employee at a magazine publisher. She's working late one night with a loud-mouth writer when he accidentally electrocutes himself, so rather than call 911, she drags the body home, where she lives with her cats and her ailing, elderly mother. Since she's "completely insane," and she found it so easy to hide the first body, she figures she can get away with murder now, so she starts killing off coworkers (and others) and hiding them in the basement with the first guy.
15) Bread Crumbs (BreadCrumbs) (2011) - Nine people go to a big house in the woods to shoot a porn video. They run into a dim-witted yokel and his sister who live in the woods and like to play deadly "games."
16) The Shadows (2011) - Five people shipwrecked on an island take refuge in a lighthouse during a storm. They meet a frightened woman who warns them that "the Shadows" are coming.
17) City in Panic (13) (1986) [B-Movie TV] - A serial killer is killing people, mostly gay men, in Toronto. I was a little surprised to see this was already checked on icheckmovies. Looking back, it turns out I watched it just 10 days short of ten years ago, during the 2010 challenge.
18) Camp Blood 4 (2016) [B-Movie TV] - Idiots get killed by killer wearing a clown mask. It's a Camp Blood movie. If you've seen one, you know what you're in for, and you know it ain't good.

10/4/20

19) Final Remains (Mortuary) (2005) - In a small town where women have been disappearing for several years, two young couples decide to break into the local funeral home. No surprise, there's a killer in there. This was crap, but at least it was short.
20) Followed Home (2010) - Two couples head to Big Bear to spend a weekend in a cabin. A girl in a nearby cabin who was attacked and stabbed stumbles over to their cabin, and they take her to get help, but she dies. They go back home, and the killer follows them. Or it's all just a metaphor for how the characters deal with what they went through. Either way, it's not very good, but at least it was short.
21) My Sweet Killer (1999) - A recovering addict (or maybe he was a mental patient, or both), recently released from a halfway house, sees a woman who may be a ghost, first in his dreams, then when he's awake, argues with his boss, argues with the two drug dealers who apparently live on his front porch, and gets in fights. Man this shit was slow going. It wasn't much more than an hour long, but it took me several hours to watch it all because I kept shutting it off to go do something (anything) else.
22) Lurking Fear (1994) - A Lovecraft title with Jeffrey Combs that I haven't seen before? Sign me up. A guy just released from prison goes to the small town of Leffert's Corners (which has been besieged by underground dwelling monsters for twenty years) looking to retrieve his inheritance, a treasure hidden inside a corpse buried in the town's cemetery. He and three crooks who are also seeking the treasure end up locked within the church next to the cemetery, along with the town's five remaining citizens who were preparing for their last stand against the monsters. It wasn't great, but it was a Full Moon pic with Jeffrey Combs, so at least it was watchable, which is a huge step up from the other films I watched today.
23) Butchered (2010) - Cliché filled slasher flick about an axe wielding maniac who escapes from police custody during a prison transfer and hides out on a small island where a group of young people just happen to be having a weekend party before college starts. Nothing great, but I kinda liked it. What can I say? I have a soft spot for movies made in NC.

10/5/20

24) Ashes (2010) - A saintly, compassionate, conscientious, bilingual emergency room doctor spends his free time working on an AIDS cure with Dwayne Wayne. A kid dying from a jellyfish sting comes into the E.R., and, with no other way to save the kid, the doctor injects an untested serum into him. The kid bites the doctor on his arm. The bite on the doctor's arm gets infected and he starts having nightmares and hallucinations. Eventually, after an hour plus build-up, the doctor and a few people he came into contact with, become flesh-eating rage zombies.
25) Grey Skies (2010) - Some old college friends have a reunion gathering at a house in the woods. A whole lotta not much happens for a while. Then people start disappearing, only to turn up later, naked and nauseous, and different.
26) Devil's Partner (1961) - In a ratty cabin in a small town, a dying old guy signs a pact with the devil. Then a younger guy shows up in the small town and says he's looking for his uncle (the guy who died), and moves into the shack. Before long he's casting spells and people start dying. I had seen part of this one before, but this was my first time watching it all the way through.
27) The Devil's Messenger (1962) - Lon Chaney Jr., playing Satan, sends a woman to earth to tie together three stories from his old TV show 13 Demon Street into a movie. First: a photographer is the only one who sees a woman (who gets closer every time he looks) in a photograph he took of a house. Second: Miners discover a woman frozen in ice. Scientists take the ice encased body to a freezer, and one of the scientists becomes romantically obsessed with the frozen corpse. Third: A guy tells his shrink about a recurring nightmare where he dies in a building he used to play near as a child. The shrink tells him to go to the building to prove to himself that there is nothing sinister about it so the nightmares will end. He goes to the building and meets a fortune teller who predicts his imminent death. This wasn't checked on icheckmovies, but I watched it during an earlier challenge.
28) Night Train to Terror (1985) - Infamous anthology film with God and Satan telling stories on a train carrying a group of '80s rockers. In the first story, "The Case of Harry Billings," patients in an asylum are tortured, killed, and dismembered. In the second story, "The Case of Gretta Connors," when a college student dates a porn star pianist, her sugar daddy who isn't happy about it begins an unnecessarily complex plot to kill the student. In the last story, "The Case of Claire Hansen," an old guy sees a young guy on TV who reminds him of a Nazi war criminal, so he asks Cameron Mitchell for assistance in bringing him to justice. Another one I had seen before, but it was on the same Dollar Tree DVD as the previous movie and it was already in the Blu-ray player, so I watched it again because, as the singer in the movie correctly observed, I had nothing to do.
29) Farm (2010) - A zombie movie where it takes almost 45 minutes before we actually see any freakin' zombies. Instead we get to see two guys eat, walk around their farm, and mumble to themselves and to each other while royalty free piano music drones on in the background. At least it was short (but not short enough).
30) The Rising Dead (2007) - After a badly rendered airplane crash (just a taste of the bad CGI to come), the survivors (a group of politically connected men and women who were on there way to an underground bunker where they were to wait out the zombie apocalypse) do a lot of walking and talking. At least we saw some zombies within the first ten minutes of this zombie movie.

10/6/20

31) The Breed (2001) - Sometime in the future, or maybe on an alternate earth, vampires exist. They are mutants with their own hidden society who mostly want to live in peace with the rest of humanity. After his partner is killed by a vampire, a police detective is partnered with a vampire detective and assigned to bring down the rogue vampires trying to sabotage peace.
32) Vampires: The Turning (2005) - While a kickboxer and his girlfriend are vacationing in Thailand, she gets kidnaped by kickboxing vampire motorcyclists, so he joins up with some local vampire slayers to rescue her.
33) Zombies (2017) - Tony Todd and some other survivors fight zombies in a small town. Has a ridiculous ending most will recognize as a slight variation on the ending of a well-known big-budget movie (I won't name that movie to avoid any more spoilers). The simple title is actually rather appropriate for this one. It is a generic zombie movie: Basic, cheap, not the best quality, but it serves its purpose. You could do better. You could do worse.
34) The Church (2018) - Bill Moseley is the pastor of a Philadelphia church who doesn't want to sell the building to land developers, in spite of his wife and others encouraging him to sell. The congregation votes to sell the building, and just as the pastor is about to sign the necessary papers, it appears like the church itself starts attacking people and locking them in, so they can't escape, to stop the sale. Finally, after nothing much happens for about an hour, Clint Howard shows up as a ghost or something, and not much happens for a few more minutes. All of which leads to a crappy ending. Well that was eighty minutes and a buck wasted.
35) Hunting the Legend (2014) - Found footage cryptid flick. Somewhere in Alabama, a kid records himself and his dad deerhunting. Dad is killed by something which leaves behind a large footprint. Five years later the kid returns to the forest to find whatever did it, and films the search. They interview a few "locals" who tell their Bigfoot stories (this was the best part of the movie), then meet up with a hermit who lives in a pretty nice cabin in the woods, then they walk around in the woods, argue a lot, then argue some more, and occasionally find stuff hanging from trees. They might as well have called it "The Big Foot Project." Only thing of note: This marks my second sighting of a copy of Max Brook's The Zombie Survival Guide in a movie in the past 24 hours.
36) Scream at the Devil (2015) - Soon after a couple move into a new home, the woman starts seeing bad CGI all over the house. The couple argues. A lot. After some more arguing, the husband disappears. Then a couple of weird neighbors show up, then disappear. After a while a few more weird neighbors show up, act odd, then leave. Eventually Tony Todd shows up as a detective. This movie was weird, just not weird enough to be interesting, or entertaining.
37) The Snarling (2018) - Horror comedy about a film crew making a zombie movie which has had a few murders occur nearby during full moons as it moved around the countryside. Police begin to suspect the film's star is a werewolf. If you like British humour, you'll probably get a couple of laughs from this one.

10/7/20

38) The Banana Splits Movie (2019) - Horror comedy about a kid who goes to a taping of The Banana Splits Show for his birthday with his slacker older brother, his over-protective mom, and his douche bag stepdad. The show gets canceled, and the robot characters start killing or maiming people. Not goofy enough to be fun. Not funny. Not much of anything.
39) Saturday Morning Mystery (Saturday Morning Massacre) (2012) - A paranormal investigation company, consisting of two guys, two girls, and a large dog, who travel around in a van, and always find a natural explanation for "hauntings," is running low on cash, so when a bank offers to pay good money if they can prove an allegedly haunted mansion isn't haunted, they jump at the chance. While spending the night in the house, they begin to think maybe something supernatural is going on. Then they find a dead body, and chase someone or something through the house, then the movie went somewhere I certainly wasn't expecting. Best thing I've watched this month so far.
40) Death House (2017) - Based on a story by Gunnar Hansen, two agents are assigned to a top secret high security prison where five immortal serial killers are sedated and hooked up to a virtual reality system. While they are touring the prison, a riot breaks out, and they and a doctor (Dee Wallace) try to escape. Most of the prisoners and staff are horror movie veterans (the cast list reads like the guest list at a mega-convention - Even former DC head Dan DiDio is in it). The movie's no good, but playing "Spot the Horror Movie Star" was sort of entertaining, at least.

10/8/20

41) Demon Hunter (Taryn Barker: Demon Hunter) (2016) - Somewhere in Ireland a goth chick gets in a sword fight with a guy and chops off his head. She gets arrested, and it turns out the detective assigned to her case met her six tears earlier, when her younger sister was abducted and killed. In flashbacks we see that after her sister was murdered, she was contacted by a guy who offered to help her find the person responsible. Turns out he was a demon who wanted her for reasons, and while performing some type of ceremony where she gets some demon powers, some other people show up and take her away. Then they train her to fight demons. This could've been good with a better script and a director who knew how to shoot fight scenes.
42) Si yiu (Corpse Mania) (1981) - This Shaw Bros. police procedural starts with a couple moving into a house. Before too long, neighbors notice a foul odor coming from the house. Police investigate and find a female corpse which had been sexually violated. The detective in charge discovers another necrophilia case from a few years before where the perpetrator was sent to an asylum, but has since been released, so that guy becomes the prime suspect. Soon someone wearing a hat, a white scarf, and sunglasses starts killling people with a big knife, and what follows is a pretty good Hong Kong cinema take on a Giallo flick.
43) Chawu (Chawz, Chaw) (2009) - Korean Jaws parody, homage, rip-off, whatever. A young policeman gets re-assigned from Seoul to a small farming village, just as villagers are getting slaughtered by a really big boar. This one was pretty good too, and the CGI wasn't too bad.
44) Scrawl (2015) - A teenage loner living in a seaside village writes a comic book (which his one friend draws) using townfolk as characters. When events depicted in the comic begin to actually occur, people start dying, but the movie doesn't get any better. Watching this one is like being in a seaside town on the off season - cold, bleak and tedious.
45) The Deathhead Virgin (1974) [B-Movie TV] - A salvage diver in the Philippines finds a sunken ship containing a few valuables along with a skeleton with long hair. He takes a talisman from around the skeleton's neck, and later starts to kill and scalp women. Meanwhile a naked chick wearing a native mask emerges from the ocean and doesn't do much of anything. Pretty typical sluggish '70s drive-in offering. You could easily visit the snack bar, or whatever, without missing much of anything of consequence. Vic Diaz was in it, so it had that going for it at least.
46) O Ritual dos Sádicos (Awakening of the Beast) (1970) - Two guys sit around telling each other dirty stories while José Mojica Marins listens. Then one of the guys, a psychiatrist or something, tells how he did a study on how people under the influence of LSD reacted to Coffin Joe. The opening credits are written on pages from Coffin Joe comics (which Google tells me were actually a thing), and you can see a few comic book covers and more pages within the film. This actually wasn't too bad, until Coffin Joe showed up at the end. Not a fan.

10/9/20

47) Sigma Die! (2007) - Five college girls rent a house for the summer, most of them get killed by a masked killer. No surprises here. Brinke Stevens was in it for a few minutes.
48) Doctor X (1932) - Police and a newspaper reporter are looking to capture a cannibal serial killer dubbed The Moon Killer by the newspapers. Lionel Atwill plays a medical examiner, and Fay Wray is his daughter.
49) Ghost of Camp Blood (2018) [B-Movie TV] - Idiots get killed by killer wearing a clown mask. It's a Camp Blood movie. If you've seen one, you know what you're in for, and you know it ain't good.
50) Heavy Metal Massacre (1989) [B-Zone] - Shot on video crapfest where people with big '80s hair don't really do much while generic '80s rock music blasts on the soundtrack. Lots of music and several bad '80s video effects later, a goofy fucker with big bleached hair kills a few people, then there's more music and bad '80s video effects and finally it just ends. "Sorry guys. Ran outta tape. I guess that's a wrap."

10/10/20

51) Secret of the Telegian (Densô ningen) (1960) [Archive.org] - Police and a newspaper reporter investigate after a man walking through a spook house at an amusement park is stabbed with a bayonet and dies. The man's WWII dog tag is found near his body, and during the investigation, the police learn that three men who served with the victim during the war have received their tags, and are presumably marked for murder by the same mysterious assailant who uses a "matter transmitter" to teleport himself to, and away from, the murder scenes.
52) He's Out There (2018) - A woman and her two daughters go to a house in the woods. The two girls go for a walk in the woods, and one of them eats a cupcake she finds out there, and later gets sick. Then there's a lot of yelling, whining, and crying, plus a couple of deaths. "Borrows" a bit from The Babadook, using a children's book as a plot element. Nothing special, but it wasn't terrible.
53) Rusalka: Ozero myortvykh (Mermaid: The Lake of the Dead) (2018) - A Russian guy is at his bachelor party at a cabin by a lake, and when the strippers show up he leaves to go for a swim. After he gets out of the lake, he sees a woman. We later find out she's a lake dwelling ghost or something that can manipulate water who tried to kill the guy's father, and did kill his mother 20 years earlier. Later, back at home, he and his fiancee, see the woman in their dreams, and she tries to kill the guy. So they head back to the lake to try to put a stop to her. Another so-so time waster.
54) Attack of the Mushroom People (Matango) (1963) [B-Movie TV] - Seven people go sailing, a storm hits, they land on a small island covered with mushrooms, go exploring and find a wrecked ship loaded with scientific equipment. Eventually hunger drives the castaways to eat the mushrooms which has the unwanted side effect of slowly turning them into mushrooms. Sure, I had seen it before, but I figured I might as well watch it again.
55) Camp Blood 666 (2016) [B-Movie TV] - Idiots get killed by killer wearing a clown mask. It's a Camp Blood movie. If you've seen one, you know what you're in for, and you know it ain't good.

10/11/20

56) Double Exposure (1982) [tubi] - A batshit crazy photographer has dreams about killing models, and worries that he might be the serial killer the police are after.
57) Ghost Stories (2017) - A TV show host who debunks supernatural events, UFOs, mediums, etc. is recruited by his hero (a man who did the same thing until he mysteriously disappeared sometime before) to investigate three cases he was unable to disprove. No surprises here, but I mostly enjoyed the way it played out. I can see myself watching it again, so it was worth the buck I paid for it.
58) Lake Fear 3 (2018) - Somewhere in Texas, a woman is posting flyers about her missing sister (maybe she was a character in one of the first two Lake Fears, I don't know, I haven't seen the first two parts) when she runs into a smarmy, effeminate ghost hunter in a theater lobby. She asks him to help her find her sister, and after her friend offers him cash, he agrees to help. Then they run into some other guy (who I assume is a returning character from the previous films) and the woman turns into a monster and bites people. The story drags along for a while and they finally end up at a cabin and fight monsters again. It's The Evil Dead as made by untalented, brain damaged second graders. Total shit. Another wasted buck.
59) Unseen Evil (2001) [B-Movie TV] - An evil Professor (Richard Hatch) and a few other people go into the woods looking for ancient Indian artifacts. They take some trinkets out of a cave, and are attacked by a mostly invisible bad CGI monster. Can Tim Thomerson and Cousin Oliver save them? Not too terrible, but not very good either.
60) American Nightmares (2018) - Two young guys are playing on their computers, watching camgirls, when a guy who calls himself Mr. Malevolent (Danny Trejo) takes over their computers and introduces seven crappy shorts: "Mates" - Two women complain about men. One gets a free invite to an online dating site, signs up, and meets a guy. They hit it off and go back to her place, but it turns out he isn't what he seemed to be at first. "The Prosecutor" - Jay Mohr is a prosecutor who is running for governor. He gets a call that one of the people he sent to death row has escaped from prison. "White Flight" - A racist white hillbilly cop (himself an over-the-top racist stereotype) and his family teleport to a town of racists somewhere or when, but don't get what they bargained for. It's a Twilight Zone episode as made by untalented, brain damaged second graders. "The Samaritan" - Chris Kattan hires a hooker to dress as a clown. He goes to the bathroom, and while waiting for him, she finds a dead hooker dressed as a clown hidden in a closet. "Hate Radio" - A misogynistic talk radio host turns into a woman (shades of Watermelon Man). "The Healer" - A misanthropic faith healer televangelist is on his way to meet a woman in a hotel when he gets kidnaped by Linc from The Mod Squad, who curses him with the power to cure nearby people by taking on their afflictions. (I'm sensing a theme.) "Thy Will be Done" - A young woman is abducted outside an abortion clinic. Three guesses why, and the first two don't count. Writers used to be able to make political points while still entertaining an audience. Too bad that skill seems lost now. Yet another buck wasted.

61) TBK: Toolbox Murders 2 (Toolbox Murders 2, Coffin Baby) (2013) - A young woman arrives at her sister's apartment to find police removing her sister's body. Then she is abducted and forced to watch a masked man torture and kill people (when he isn't torturing her), and, as the bodies pile up, she slowly loses her mind, or maybe she really is seeing those ghosts of past victims. If you really like practical gore effects, this one is for you.
62) Annabelle (2014) - A doctor gives his pregnant wife a hideous doll to add to her collection. Some stuff happens, and the doll gets possessed, kind of like Chucky, but not as cool, and starts harassing the couple.
63) Darkness Reigns (2018) - Found footage flick presented as a "making of" documentary of a horror movie that is being filmed at a reportedly haunted hotel. It's all tiresomely "meta," but it had its moments. At least it was reasonably short, and it didn't take too long before the CGI effects started up and people started dying.
64) Twixt (2011) - Val Kilmer is a "bargain basement Stephen King" who stops in a small town during a book tour. Moderately entertaining stylish oddity. Partway through, Francis Ford Coppola appeared to be channelling Robert Rodriguez for whatever reason, giving it a decidedly Sin City look.
65) Digging Up the Marrow (2014) - Starts like a horror movie documentary interviewing several people, then turns to director Adam Green. Green mentions a guy who sent him a notebook full of stuff claiming that monsters actually exist. Then they go to the guy's house to interview him, and the rest of the movie follows Adam Green, his cameraman, and the guy, as they try to capture monsters on camera (when they aren't shamelessly plugging Green's TV show I had never heard of). Entertaining, sometimes amusing time-waster, with plenty of cameos (by stars and directors), and a fun performance from Ray Wise as the off-kilter monster hunter.
66) The Gallows (2015) - Oh goody. More "found footage." A high school drama class is putting on a play twenty years after a guy was accidentally hanged during a performance of the same play. A loudmouthed douchebag who records everything (of course) and runs his mouth a lot (of course) decides to sabotage the play, so he and a couple of others break into the school at night to tear up the sets (and of course the obnoxious brainless prick records himself doing it). They get locked inside the school, yell a lot, and wander around dark hallways while the audience hopes for their quick, violent deaths.

10/13/20

67) Vampira (Old Dracula, Old Drac) (1974) - Four Playboy Playmates, a writer, and a photographer head to Castle Dracula, which Dracula (David Niven) has turned into a tourist trap he's using to find a matching blood type for a transfusion which he hopes will revive his frozen love, Vampira. When the transfusion has an unexpected side effect, Dracula and Vampira fly to New York to find the Playmates, hoping to reverse the side effect.
68) Dead Clowns (2004) - A hurricane strikes a small town in Florida, and releases some zombie clowns from their watery mass grave (where they had been since a bridge collapsed fifty years earlier). I kinda liked the look of the clown zombies. They mostly had a pretty good decayed, skeletal, Italian zombie look, but their costumes were still intact. What the hell were those clown costumes supposed to be made of? At least it had Brinke Stevens in a few scenes, so it wasn't a total waste.
69) Dead Mine (2012) - A group of treasure hunters are trapped inside an old mine in Indonesia that was used by the Japanese for Unit 731 experiments during World War II. There only hope to get out is to go deeper into the mine, looking for another exit.
70) Insidious (2010) - A family moves into a new home. After the oldest son goes to sleep and doesn't wake up, the mother starts seeing things and thinks the house is haunted. When things keep getting worse, and the boy hasn't woken up, they get a group of paranormal investigators to help. "Borrows" heavily from Poltergeist. I've seen this one before, but I figured I'd watch it again before watching parts 2 & 3 since it had been awhile since I saw it.
71) Insidious Chapter 2 (2013) - Good thing I watched the first one again. Because this one is a direct sequel, picking up more or less where the first movie left off. The family is living in the grandmother's house while the police are investigating the death of a character that happened near the end of the first film, and weird things begin happening again. This one has a little Poltergeist, but they also threw in some Back to the Future Part II, Sleepaway Camp, and The Shining for good measure.

10/14/20

72) Insidious Chapter 3 (2015) - A prequel set "a few years" before the first movie. The female psychic from the first two films is "retired," but she gets back in the game after a teenage girl is attacked by an evil entity. This one felt too different from the first two films at first, but it got a little better after a few more of the known characters showed up. I would have rather seen the story they set up at the end of the second movie.
73) Death Note (2017) [Netflix] - Dorky teen picks up a book that literally falls out of the sky and lands beside him. Inside are written instructions saying that if he knows a person's name and face, he can write that name in the book, and the person will die. He starts to use it to kill criminals worldwide, which leads international authorities to investigate. I didn't hate it, but I haven't seen the anime or read the manga it was based on.
74) The Babysitter: Killer Queen (2020) [Netflix] - It's two years after the events in The Babysitter, and the kid is now in high school. He goes off with some other students for a weekend getaway, and runs into new members of the blood cult, along with the resurrected members of the original group, who still want his blood. Lots of over-the-top bloody, almost cartoonish kills in this one, along with a few laughs. You could do worse.
75) The Town That Dreaded Sundown (2014) - In Texarkana, someone dressed like the killer in the movie The Town That Dreaded Sundown is killing people, loosely following the murders in the movie. Police and the young female survivor of the new killer's first attack investigate the murders (old and new). It was okay. Worth the dollar I paid for it. If you like monologuing villains, this one is definitely for you.
76) We Are Still Here (2015) - A middle aged couple move into an old house in the country and begin experiencing odd events. At first they think it might be the spirit of their recently deceased son, but soon it becomes clear that something evil exists inside the house, and it is "hungry," and the local townfolk want it to be fed. Pretty good movie. Another dollar well-spent.

10/15/20

77) Blair Witch (2016) - The younger brother of the girl from The Blair Witch Project thinks he sees her in a newfound video uploaded onto the internet, so he and some friends go to talk to the guy who uploaded it. They follow the guy and his girlfriend into the woods to see where he found the tape, and to look for the house. They walk in the woods, argue, and get lost. It's a bigger budget Blair Witch Project with new characters (4 skeptics and 2 believers), using newer recording technology. It was irritating, not entertaining. That one cost me less than a dollar (at a thrift store), and I still feel ripped off.
78) Malicious (2018) - A mathematics professor and his pregnant wife move into a large house. While in the house alone, the wife sees a baby in the nursery, and she collapses and has a miscarriage. After she gets home from the hospital, she starts seeing a little girl (who gets older each time she sees her) and hearing noises in the house. After her husband, and her visiting sister, start seeing things too, the husband asks a blind parapsychology professor from work to come by and check out the house. Rather bland, but not boring. Worth a buck, I guess.
79) Aura (The Exorcism of Karen Walker) (2018) - A couple move into a house the man inherited from his uncle. They find the uncle's old Kirlian Photography camera (for photographing peoples' "auras") and some old pictures in the basement. One of the pictures is of his younger sister, who is currently in an asylum, and after consulting a psychic, he learns his sister may be possessed. A mediocre story performed by a few British actors not-very-convincingly pretending to be Americans (when the setting isn't even relevant to the story).
80) Splinter (2008) - After their vehicle breaks down, and they are attacked by a parasitic monster, three people hide out in a gas station. This one was surprisingly good.

10/16/20

81) Shiver (2012) - A pudgy, middle-aged schlub is killing women in Portland, and collecting their heads in jars. He attacks Danielle Harris, and she fights back and gets away (hey, she's had lots of practice). He goes after her in a lackadaisical cat and mouse game. Not very good, but not the worst thing I've seen this month.
82) Platoon Warrior (The Stick) (1988) [B-Movie TV] - Soldiers in South Africa shoot a witch doctor, then burn down his village. The witch doctor gets his revenge from beyond the grave. Very slowly (like everything else in this film).
83) School Tales (2017) [B-Movie TV] - Somewhere in Thailand, kids at band practice at night in a large school building tell three ghost stories about the old building. Then they split up and go searching for the ghosts from the stories.

10/17/20

84) Satanic (2016) - Four young people are in L.A. visiting old "Satanic Panic" crime scenes. After visiting a magic shop, and getting chased out by the clerk, they follow him to a house in the middle of nowhere and see him presiding over some sort of ceremony. It wasn't good, but it wasn't unwatchable either. It just was.
85) Demon Hole (2017) - A group of young ne'er-do-wells doing community service in the woods get lost and end up in a dilapidated old house. After smoking one guy's "medical" marijuana, some of them gain super powers, thanks to the demon released by an oil company drilling nearby. Another so-so, almost, but not quite, entertaining movie that exists.
86) Beneath the Mississippi (2008) - Something about a few people with unclear motives floating down a river on a pontoon boat. The sound was so bad on the DVD that I couldn't hear most of the dialogue, and there were no subtitles to help. This is easily the most irritating thing I've watched this month, thanks to the crappy sound.
87) Tale of a Vampire (1992) [B-Movie TV] - A vampire stalks a librarian. I was bored.

10/18/20

88) Legacy of Evil (The Possession of Michael D.) (1995) - A family moves into a new house. Weird stuff starts to happen. They call a local parapsychologist. I may be reading too much into it, but I think this was meant to be a "break the cycle of abuse" metaphor. I've seen worse.
89) Pledges (2018) - Three guys and three gals get dropped off in the woods to complete their fraternity & sorority hazing while another guy and gal in a van watch them on video. After a long setup, something starts killing them. It was just over an hour long, but I fell asleep partway through and had to go back and finish it later.
90) Camp Blood First Slaughter (2014) [B-Movie TV] - Idiots get killed by killer wearing a clown mask. It's a Camp Blood movie. If you've seen one, you know what you're in for, and you know it ain't good.
91) All Cheerleaders Die (2013) - At a party the night before the first day of their senior year, some high school cheerleaders get into a fight with their football player boyfriends. They drive away with the boys in pursuit, and crash through a guardrail into a river where they drown. A goth chick who just happened to be nearby brings them back to life, but now they're hungry.

10/19/20

92) Dangerous Worry Dolls (2008) - A young woman in a very minimal security correctional facility is given some Guatemalan Worry Dolls by her daughter on visiting day. She puts them under her pillow at night, and they crawl into her ear, giving her a huge zit on her forehead and the strength and confidence to fight back against the people who have wronged her.
93) Demonic Toys 2 (Demonic Toys: Personal Demons) (2010) - A wealthy toy collector and a few other people get stranded overnight in an Italian castle and are attacked by demonic toys.
94) Bloodrunners (2017) - It's 1933, and Ice-T is the leader of a gang of vampires who opens a speakeasy in a small town in New Jersey to use as a cover for draining victims and selling their blood to other vampires.
95) Camp Dread (2014) - A down and out director (Eric Roberts), once famous for a '80s slasher series called "Summer Camp," recruits a group of troubled young people for a reality show set at a summer camp, offering a million dollar prize to the winner. The story drags on until, eventually, people start dying, then it drags some more. Danielle Harris is only in it for about five minutes, but it may be worth a look if you're a Felissa Rose fan.
96) El Carnaval de las Bestias (The Beasts' Carnival, Human Beasts) (1980) - Paul Naschy is hired by his Japanese girlfriend's crime family to steal some diamonds. After stealing them, he turns on his employers, and steals the stolen diamonds again, and runs off, with his girlfriend and her brother in hot pursuit. After he gets shot up in a gunfight, he passes out and later awakens, convalescing in a doctor's house, being cared for (and fought over) by the doctor's two lovely, lustful daughters. After lots of gunplay and sleaze, it finally decides to become a horror movie when someone starts killing people and Naschy thinks he sees the doctor's dead wife everywhere. Took its sweet time getting where it was going, but I suppose it could've been worse.
97) Los Ojos Azules de la Muñeca Rota (The Blue Eyes of the Broken Doll) (1974) - Paul Naschy is hitchhiking through France when he gets picked up by a woman with a severely scarred right hand and arm who offers him a job as a gardener and general handyman at her home where she lives with her two sisters; a wheelchair bound invalid and a nymphomaniac. When he isn't bedding one of the sisters, Naschy has nightmares and visions of himself strangling women. Is he the serial killer murdering women in the nearby town? Another slow as molasses movie, but at least Naschy was younger and in better shape and the sisters were closer to his age in this one, so it was a little more believable that every woman in the movie wanted to have sex with him. Has a pretty decent, whacked-out, overly complex, Giallo-style denouement, but the bouncy recurring theme on the soundtrack did not do the movie any favors.
98) 31 (2016) [tubi] - Five carnies driving somewhere are abducted and forced to play a "game" for their lives against some goofy looking costumed killers. So, basically a rip-off of Slashers (2001), but worse, somehow.

10/20/20

99) Blood Punch (2014) [tubi] - A college kid has his meth lab closed down and gets sent to rehab where he meets a girl who is looking for someone who can make meth for her psycho boyfriend so they can all get rich. They head to a cabin in the woods, stuff happens, and, after the psycho boyfriend gets killed, the guy and the girl wake up and relive the same day over and over, desperately seeking a way to break the loop. This one's pretty good.
100) The Night Walker (1964) - After her rich, blind husband appears to die in a lab explosion, Barbara Stanwyck starts to have nightmares (or are they real?). I expected better from a Robert Bloch script, but it wasn't terrible.
101) Aerobi-Cide (Killer Workout) (1987) - Cheezy very '80s slasher about a killer murdering people at a gym (often with a large safety pin) while the police investigate. Packed with lots of svelte chicks aerobicising and burly guys awkwardly fistfighting. A goofy fun time.
102) Waxwork (1988) - A group of friends goes to a wax museum that suddenly appeared in their neighborhood overnight, and a few of them disappear. It's up to the remaining friends to find out what happened. Fun, goofy '80s monster flick. I had seen it before, but it had been awhile, and I thought I'd stick with the '80s for a bit.

10/21/20

103) Waxwork II: Lost in Time (1992) - Picks up right at the end of the first film. The evil that escaped at the end of that film kills Buck Flower, then the girl is put on trial for his murder. To fix things, she and Zach Galligan use an ancient artifact to travel through time. Fun sequel - enough like the first one to be familiar, yet different enough to be new. I had seen this one during an earlier OHMC also, but had forgotten most of it.
104) Killer Sofa (2019) [tubi] - A young lady acquires a recliner that had been in a storage locker where some guy was dismembered. The recliner kills some people. Yep, a recliner. Why'd they call it Killer Sofa if they weren't going to use a sofa? I thought it might be a language thing (maybe "recliners" are called "sofas" in New Zealand), but they call it a "recliner" in the film, so who knows?
105) BvZ: Bigfoot Vs. Zombies (2016) - After an experimental concoction resurrects the corpses at a body farm, it's up to Bigfoot (well, a guy in an old gorilla costume), who lives in the forest nearby, to save the day. Of course it wasn't good, but it was short and it wasn't unwatchable.
106) Monster (Humanoids From the Deep) (1980) - Genetically modified fish creatures attack a small fishing village, killing the men and raping the women. An old cable TV favorite. A bit slower going than I remembered, but also much gorier. Holds up as a pretty good monster movie, and as an interesting transition from the ecological horror movies prevalent in the '70s to the bloody slashers of the '80s.

10/22/20

107) Demon of Paradise (1987) - A legendary ancient lizard-man gets pissed off by dynamite fishing in his river and starts attacking people. The local female herpetologist suspects an ancient lizard-man is loose and convinces the local sheriff, who thinks the nearby Paradise Resort should be shut down, but the owner of the resort needs the business and wants to keep things open. Take a typical formula for aquatic beast movies, throw in lots of gunplay and several explosions, and you end up with this so-so Cirio Santiago time killer.
108) The Pyramid (2014) - Three archaeologists, a reporter, and a camera man go into a newly discovered pyramid buried in the Egyptian desert and get lost. What follows is a hodgepodge of traditional movie and "found footage" as we follow them deeper and deeper into the pyramid.
109) L'orribile segreto del Dr. Hichcock (The Horrible Dr. Hichcock) (1962) - Barbara Steele marries a rich guy. They move into his big, scary house and Barbara Steele gets scared. A slow burning, unremarkable Gothic tale, but Barbara Steele was especially lovely in it.
110) The Clinic (2010) - A young couple driving across Australia are driven off the road by someone in a truck, so they stop to rest for the night at a seedy motel nearby. The man steps out of the room for a smoke, and when he gets back his pregnant fiancee is gone. So he calls the cops, who end up arresting him. The woman wakes up somewhere, naked in a tub of ice, with her baby gone, removed by C-section. Turns out she's in an old slaughterhouse, along with a few other women who have had their babies taken away too. Now they have to figure out why this happened to them, try to stay alive, try and get their babies, and try to get away. Wasn't bad, and it takes place at Christmas if you're looking for suggestions for Holiday Challenge viewing.

10/23/20

111) Midsommar (2019) - A guy invites some friends to a summer festival in his rustic village in Sweden. Overly long, with no surprises (I didn't even watch the trailer, just saw a few screenshots before watching, and I knew how it would turn out from the start), but it looked really nice, and it didn't put me to sleep.
112) Sadistic Eroticism (2012) [B-Movie TV] - Shot on video shitpile about a busty vampire teacher who starts a new job at a high school.
113) Ame no machi (The Vanished) (2006) [B-Movie TV] - An unidentified dead kid sits up on the autopsy table then runs out of the morgue. A reporter investigates the kid's identity based on the school uniform he was wearing when found, and it turns out the kid died during a field trip thirty years earlier.

10/24/20

114) Outpost: Black Sun (2012) - A young female Nazi hunter goes somewhere in Eastern Europe where she runs into a scientist, some soldiers, and a bunch of Nazi zombies.
115) Axegrinder (2006) [B-Movie TV] - Six young people go camping in the woods where local legend says a serial killer lurks. Well, at least it wasn't a Camp Blood movie.
116) Camp Blood 5 (2016) [B-Movie TV] - Idiots get killed by killer wearing a clown mask. It's a Camp Blood movie. If you've seen one, you know what you're in for, and you know it ain't good.

10/25/20

117) Outpost III: Rise of the Spetsnaz (2013) - Abandoning the story set up at the end of the previous film, this one is instead a prequel to the first. It's 1945 and a few Russian soldiers fighting the Nazis are captured and taken to the secret underground base where they fight Nazi monsters.
118) Storage 24 (2012) - After a military transport plane crashes in London, several people trapped inside a nearby storage facility due to the crash are attacked by some kind of creature.
119) The Tomb of Ligeia (1964) - Vincent Price is a widower living in the ruins of an old abbey in England who meets and marries the Lady of an adjoining estate. After she moves into the abbey, she begins to believe that she is being haunted by her new husband's late wife.

10/26/20

120) Bloodmania (Herschell Gordon Lewis' BloodMania) (2017) [tubi] - Herschell Gordon Lewis introduces four stories (two he directed). "Gory Story" - A guy with a hook has an escalating series of unfortunate bloody accidents. "Attack of Conscience" - A woman dies in various ways. "The Night Hag" - A hair eating woman lives in the walls of a house. The first part of this was played like a sitcom (complete with laugh track) for some reason. "GOREgeous" - The recently fired manager of an all girl rock group goes on a killing spree. Not very good, but they were at least watchable. I would've preferred the stories be more serious, and filmed in Florida instead of Canada.
121) The Mortuary Collection (2019) - Clancy Brown plays a mortician with a large collection of books who tells a job applicant three stories, then she tells him one. First, a female thief's greed causes her trouble. Second, a college frat boy doesn't use a condom, and something not at all surprising happens to him. Third, a man's new wife grows ill. Lastly, the woman's story is about a babysitter battling an intruder. Pretty good overall, mostly thanks to Clancy Brown.
122) A Estranha Hospedaria dos Prazeres (The Strange Hostel of Naked Pleasures) (1976) [YouTube] - Another not quite Coffin Joe movie. People gyrate uncontrollably for about nine minutes, then ol' Joe pops out of his coffin to introduce the movie, the credits roll, then Joe drones on about something while Milk Duds on strings float by onscreen. Finally the movie really starts and almost Coffin Joe, wearing a derby, hires some people to work in his hostel. Then a storm starts (for atmosphere) and more people show up, and Innkeeper Joe either gives them a key or tells them there are no more vacancies. The people in the rooms have a drunken dance party, gamble, and split up loot. This shit drags on for a long time and finally ends up exactly where anyone with a functioning brain already knew it was going. The static IFC logo in the corner was more interesting than the movie.
123) Geomeun jip (Black House) (2007) [B-Movie TV] - An insurance claims adjuster suspects a client is killing people for insurance money.

10/27/20

124) Return of the Family Man (1989) [B-Movie TV] - Eight people stay at an old house where a guy killed his family several years earlier. Coincidentally, the killer has just escaped from a prison bus and heads to the house too. Filmed in South Africa, but supposed to be in the United States, leading to some unintentional humor (or humour in this case).
125) Shallow Grave (1987) [tubi] - Four ditzy college girls are driving to Fort Lauderdale for spring break when they get a flat tire somewhere in Georgia. One of the girls goes into the woods to take a leak and sees the local sheriff murder his mistress.
126) Mom (1991) [tubi] - After Brion James moves into an old woman's spare room, he bites her, turning her into a ghoul.

10/28/20

127) Wish Upon (2017) - A guy finds an old Chinese music box which will grant seven wishes and gives it to his teenaged daughter who makes wishes with deadly results.
128) Monster Brawl (2011) - No plot to this one. Just monsters wrasslin'. A silly monster themed time-waster. I've never been a wrestling fan, but I found it mildly entertaining. Wrestling fans will probably me more forgiving. I could see using it as background visuals at a Halloween party, or just something to half watch while handing out candy on Halloween night.
129) The Thompsons (2012) - Sequel to The Hamiltons (2006) which I saw 5 years ago and barely remember watching. After getting caught in the middle of a holdup gone bad, the family, now wanted by the police, flees to Europe where they learn some family history and meet a family like them that is looking for some new blood.
130) Resident Evil (2002) - Following a lab accident, a paramilitary unit and a few others go into an underground facility to battle a rogue A.I. unit, zombies, and a few CGI creatures. I saw this back in 2003, but I don't think I had seen it since.
131) Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004) - Picks up right after the first movie, with Milla Jovovich waking up in a hospital after the Umbrella Corporation has done a few more experiments on her. She meets a few survivors and they fight zombies and CGI monsters while they try to escape the city before a nuclear bomb detonates. I think I had seen this one before too.
132) Resident Evil: Extinction (2007) - This one jumps ahead five years (I think). The world is now a barren wasteland, and Milla Jovovich joins up with some survivors and they fight zombies and CGI monsters.

10/29/20

133) Octaman (1971) [American Horrors] - Low budget, amusing Creature from the Black Lagoon rip-off with people in an RV looking for a "sea creature with the arms of an octopus who walks on the land like a man." I woke up early and decided to see what was on, this was starting so I decided I might as well watch it again.
134) Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010) - Starts where the previous movie ended, with Milla Jovovich and an army of clones attacking an Umbrella Corporation facility in Japan. But that doesn't last long. Then she goes off in search of the other survivors from the previous movie and meets up with some new people and they fight zombies and CGI monsters -- in 3D!
135) Resident Evil: Retribution (2012) - More of the same. Starts where the previous one ended, then quickly switches gears after Milla Jovovich is captured and taken to an Umbrella Corporation facility somewhere in the former U.S.S.R.. A rescue team comes for her, and they must fight their way out against zombies, clones, and CGI creatures before the facility is blown up -- in 3D!

10/30/20

136) Blood Ties (1991) [B-Movie TV] - After his parents are staked and burned by "hunters," a teen goes to Long Beach, California to look for a family friend, part of a well-to-do Carpathian-American community with a secret.
137) Hônteddo kyanpasu (Haunted Campus) (2016) [B-Movie TV] - At a university where a student killed herself after failing an entrance exam, a nervous young fellow who sees dead people joins the occult research club on campus (because a girl he has a crush on joined it) and they hang out, eat snacks, and hunt ghosts. This was a cute and occasionally funny film.
138) Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016) - This one skips ahead a bit and doesn't start where the previous one ended. It's now 10 years since the events in the first film, and Milla Jovovich is sent back to the underground facility where it all started. She and a few others fight against zombies and CGI creatures to try to find the antivirus to save mankind before time runs out -- in 3D! Rather disappointing ending to an already mediocre ser‪ies.

10/31/20

139) Boo! (2018) - On Halloween, a family in Detroit receives a chain letter/gift bag on their front porch. The dad breaks the chain because they don't do Halloween in that house, and later that night the family members start hearing voices and seeing things. Not good.
140) 10/31 (2017) [tubi] - Malvolia the Queen of Screams introduces five short stories which take place on Halloween. "The Old Hag" - Two guys are shooting a commercial with the owner of a bed and breakfast, and one of them keeps seeing an old woman creeping around the house that no one else can see. "Trespassers" - A couple on a first date leave a crappy movie early to go somewhere to be "scared." The girl (a local) takes the guy (who is new in town) to a house in the country where a murder occurred to look at a scarecrow. "Killing the Dance" - A teen girl has to take her weird little brother along to work with her at a lock in party at a roller rink. "Halloween Blizzard of '91" - A family trapped in their home because of a blizzard is visited by three trick-or-treaters and Santa Claus. "The Samhain Slasher" - A serial killer escapes police custody. Mostly sucked.
141) Hubie Halloween (2020) [Netflix] - A mental patient escapes from an asylum and it is suspected he will head back to his hometown where Adam Sandler is the village idiot who thinks his purpose in life is to make sure everybody is safe on Halloween (so he has appointed himself the town's Halloween "Monitor"). Goofy (and unfortunately, not very funny) time waster with a pretty good cast. I have no clue what they were thinking with this one. It's too "adult" to be a family film, and too childish to be an adult film.
142) Halloween (2018) - Forty years after the events in the first Halloween, Michael Myers is being transferred to another facility and the bus crashes, freeing him to go look for Jamie Lee Curtis who has had forty years to prepare for this eventuality. Not bad. It was actually pretty good for a Halloween sequel.
143) The Legend of Halloween Jack (2018) [Vudu] - After a guy who was arrested for murder is released on a technicality, a few citizens decide to take justice into their own hands. So they dress the guy up as a scarecrow, kill him, and bury him in a field. Later, one of the citizens decides he can't live with what he did, and commits suicide at the grave. His blood resurrects the dead guy who then goes after the other villagers who killed him.

11/1/20 (Overtime - Midnight to Dawn)

144) Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954) - An expedition travels down the Amazon looking for the rest of a fossil and instead find a living creature -- in 3D!
145) Revenge of the Creature (1955) - A new expedition captures the gill-man and takes him to Florida where he can be studied -- in 3D!

Re: The 16th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/31) ***The List Thread***

Good to be back...

Pre Challenge 9/15 to 9/29
21 Watches

Spoiler:
Open 24 Hours (2018)- A smart, well acted modern slasher with brutal kills. 8/10. Blu Ray.
Let Her Out (2017) - Canadian body horror film about a girl who has an alter ego growing within her. Tame and uninspiring. 4/10. Shudder.
Ma (2019) Strong performance by the lead Octavia Spencer was not enough to overcome a clunky story and some hit and miss teen characters. 5/10
Attack of the Crab Monsters (1957) Telepathic giant crabs?! yep, its early Roger Corman cheese. 7/10.
Gamera 2 Attack of Legion (1997) Arrow Blu Ray Hillbilly voice over cut. its pretty entertaining. 7/10
The Case of the Scorpion's Tail (1971) One of the best Gialli. 8/10.
One Cut of the Dead (2017) - I have a new found appreciation for this film after a rewatch on Joe Bob Brigg's Last Drive In. 7/10.
The Pit and the Pendulum (1961) - Only Vincent Price can pull off the kind of dialogue and pathos required for Edgar Allen Poe's classic story. 8/10
The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971) - Vincent Price in a classic role. The kills are cheesy and over the top, but alot of fun. 7/10
Inseminoid (1981) - Probably Norman Warren's worst film. A brutal mixture of bad acting, overacting, a meandering story and dull kills. Judy Gleeson's constant screaming was the final nail in the coffin. I had to turn the sound completely off the last 30 minutes. 4/10
Prey (1977) - Rewatched this bizarre, but fascinating love triangle between two lesbians and an alien. 7/10
The Haunted Palace (1963) - Vincent Price is burned alive and comes back from the dead for revenge. Good story and Price is always entertaining.7/10
The Fall of the House of Usher (1960) - Classic Corman Poe film. Only Vincent Price can carry a dialogue heavy story like Usher. 7/10
The Masque of Red Death (1964) - Vincent Price is at his best as an evil prince terrorizing a village. 8/10
Witchfinder General (1968) - A classic film based loosely on historical witch hunter Mathew Hopkins. Vincent Price is excellent in the role. 8.5/10
Calling Dr Death (1943) - A neat little hour film in the Inner Sanctum series with Lon Chaney Jr. 7/10
Weird Woman (1944) - Big Lon marries a mysterious woman he meets in the jungle, but he has Evelyn Ankers all jealous. 6/10
Dead Man's Eyes (1944) - Interesting story where Lon plays a painter who has an accident that blinds him and now has to wait for a man to die to obtain an eye transplant. 7/10
The Frozen Ghost (1945) - Big Lon plays a hypnotist who has to solve a murder. Neat little thriller.7/10
Strange Confession (1945) - Lon plays a chemist who gets screwed over by his boss, J Carol Naish. 7/10.
Pillow of Death (1945) - Big Lon is wrongly accused of his wife's murder. A creepy house murder mystery done very well. 7/10

Sept 30th
1. Haxan (1922)
An astounding work of art from 1922. The Director, Benjamin Christensen was ahead of his time.. 10/10. Blu Ray ***
2. Night of Anubis (Night of the Living Dead) (1968) - Watched the workpring on the Criterion Blu. 9/10.
3. House (1977) - A strange fantasy/horror film that starts out as a comedy and takes a hard left turn once a group of young girls visit a mother's house that has evil lurking. Not really my cup of tea. The film was all over the place. 6/10. Streaming. ***
4. Dracula (1992) - I want to like this film more than I do because of Gary Oldman's performance, but the bottom line is I don't think its very good. Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves are miscast. Anthony Hopkins performance is flat (not bad, but not memorable). The special effects are hit and miss. Blu Ray 6/10.

Oct 1st
5. Wolf (1994)
- A tepid werewolf film. Probably my least favorite Jack Nicholson performance.Blu Ray 6/10.
6. Diabolique (1955) - An unlikely teaming up of a wife and mistress to bump off the husband turns mysterious when the body disappears. An interesting and tense French Noire. Amazon Prime 7/10.***
7. The Beast and the Magic Sword (1983) - Paul Naschy mixes Japanese culture with a werewolf and even takes on a tiger in this entertaining werewolf film. A bit to self indulgent at a two hour run time however. Blu Ray 6.5/10

Oct 2nd

8. The Fury of the Wolf Man (1972)
- Paul Naschy in his favorite role as Waldomar the wolf man. Entertaining, but with stretches of tedium. The make up changes quite a bit throughout the film. Blu Ray 6.5/10
9. Primitives (1978) - Student thrill seekers go deep into the Indonesian jungle in search of savages and find more than they bargained for. Decent, but relatively tame entry in the cannibal sub-genre. Severin Blu Ray 6/10 ***
10. Shutter (2004) - Thai ghostly film that is a copy cat of Grudge/Ring films. A decent one time watch. 6/10. Netflix ***
11. Rabid (1977) - Classic "body horror" from Cronenberg that is also a metaphor for sexually transmitted diseases. Marilyn Chambers was excellent. Blu Ray 8/10.
12. Rabid (2019) - The soska sisters taking a crack at a remake of Cronenberg's classic body horror 70s film. The first act is essentially same as the original with the exception of Rose's fashion job sub-plot. I think the film was good, but the third act twist was predictable and not very effective. Showtime streaming 6/10 ***

Oct 3rd
13. Cruel Jaws (1995) - Cheesy Bruno Mattei goodness. Yes, its a cheap rip off of jaws complete with horrendous acting, but I love it. Severin Blu Ray 7/10.
14. Seven Women for Satan (1976) - A sadistic businessman tortures women with the help of his butler, but is haunted by a female ghost. Excellent, euro sleaze with lots of beautiful women. Blu Ray 7/10 ***
15. Dr Giggles (1992) - Mindless Horror/Comedy, but overall a breezy, fun watch. Larry Drake was excellent as the crazed doctor. Streaming 7/10

Oct 4th

16. The Grudge (2020) -
I was surprised and impressed with this american remake/reboot of a J-Horror classic. I found the story interesting and even the jump scares effective. streaming 7/10 ***
17. The Pit and the Pendulum (1991) - Decent take on the Spanish Inquisition genre with Lance Hendriksen as the evil inquisitor. Blu Ray 6/10 ***
18. Zombieland Double Tap (2020) - Decent sequel to the original. The comedy is hit and miss as can be expected. Woody Harrelson carries the film. Streaming. 6.5/10 ***
19. Deadly Dreams (1988) - Alex (played by Mitchell Anderson) is haunted by a killer in a fox mask that killed his parents. Good story and neat ending. Blu Ray 7/10. ***

Oct 5th

20. Suspiria (1977) -
One of the top 5 Horror movies of all time. A masterpiece. Blu Ray 10/10
21. Bloody Murder (2000) - Straight to video copycat of Friday the 13th. Brutally bad acting and lame off screen kills. DVD 2/10 ***
22. Bloody Murder 2 (2003) - Much better film than the original. Better acting and production values. A decent slasher. DVD 5/10 ***
23. X-Ray (1981) - Gorgeous Barbi Benton is held captive in a hospital by the staff for some unknown reason while a killer roams the halls. Alot of logic issues with this one and it's never explained why the hospital staff is restraining Barbi Benton, but just go with it. It's a slasher film. Blu Ray 6.5/10.
24. Boardinghouse (1982) - A shot on video slasher from the early 80's. A couple shot this film out of their house. Its more like a family home video than a real movie. Its a tough sit through whether you watch the theatrical release or the painful 2.5 hour director's cut. DVD 2/10.
25. Urban Explorer (2011) - A group of kids are attacked by a crazed german living in the subway tunnels. A very tense film. Youtube 7/10. ***

October 6th

26. Satanico Pandemonium (1975) -
Spanish "nunsploitation" and one of the best ones I have seen. A Nun is corrupted by Satan and goes on a sex/murder spree. Good story, well acted. Blu Ray 7/10 ***
27. Images (1972) - Brilliant psychological thriller about a woman who thinks she is interacting with her ex husband and ex-lover while with her current husband. Very disorienting film. Blu Ray 9/10 ***
28. Offerings (1989) - A Halloween inspired slasher right down to the music ,which I am surprised didn't land the producer/director in hot water. The problem with copying a classic is at some point you have to deliver the goods (great kills, great ending) and this film does not. Blu Ray 5/10 ***
29. Berlin Syndrome (2017) - A tourist is held captive by a stranger she meets in Berlin. A tense, interesting watch, but a bit too long at 2 hours.Netflix 7/10 ***
30. Fear No Evil (1981) - Strange possession film with a batshit last 20 minutes. Story was a bit all over the place. Blu Ray 6/10 ***

Oct 7th

31, The Vicious Sweet (1997) -
A fan of a "actress" captures her and forces her to tell all her secrets.A painful 90 minutes of cringy dialogue, poor sound and lighting. DVD 1/10 ***
32. City of the Living Dead (1980) - One of Fulci's best films. A real masterpiece of terror and gore. A Priest hangs himself, unleashing the Gates of Hell. My favorite of the GoH trilogy.. Blu Ray 9/10
33. Sweet Sixteen (1983) - I have a soft spot for Bo Hopkins. He plays a sheriff investigating a series of murders. Somewhat slow and predictable, but Bo Hopkins raises the overall proceedings. Blu Ray 6.5/10***
34. Frozen (2010) - Kids are trapped on a ski lift. Simply, but effective. Tense film. DVD 7/10
35. Pyewacket (2017) - A girl calls upon a witch demon to kill her mom. I was impressed with this one. The acting was solid and the story was interesting. The film was paced well for a slow burn film. Hulu 7/10. ***
36. A Cold Night's Death (1972) - Two scientists become paranoid and delusional cooped up in an arctic research center. Eli Wallach was awesome. Very good made for TV flick. Youtube 7/10 ***

Oct 8th

37, The Devil Rides Out (1968) -
The Devil Rides Out is one of the stand out films in the Hammer library and one of the films that comes readily to mind when I think of films that would be great to be remade with today's technology.Blu Ray 8/10
38. Kill List (2011) - An out of work ex soldier becomes a hitman to earn money. I really liked the first two third's of this film. It was a serious character study, but then it takes a sharp left satanic/horror turn in the third act that I did not feel worked all the well. Blu Ray 7/10 ***
39. Wolfen (1981) - Albert Finney is a detective investigating a series of mutilations. A shape shifter flick with heavy POV from wolf standpoint. An okay watch but too long running time.6/10. Blu Ray ***
40. Night Visitor (1989) - Elliott Gould stars in the Horror /Dark Comedy about two brothers who worship Satan and kill off prostitutes. Mildly amusing. Blu Ray 6/10 )***

Oct 9th

41. Frenzy (1972) -
One of my favorite Hitchcock films and one of the best films to capture the look and feel of working class London in the early 70's. Great acting. Only complaint is the film might be that the police procedural aspects could be cut down a bit. DVD 8.5/10.
42. Cold Fish (2010) - An interesting watch about competing Fish store owners. One is an aggressive bully serial killer, the other a passive guy who lets everyone walk all over him. I thought they overplayed the spineless lead character a bit. Still a great film. Blu Ray 8/10 ***
43. Fulci for Fake (2019) - A good modern documentary about the master of Italian horror films. 7/10. BLu Ray ***
44. Frankenstein 1970 (1958) - Boris plays an aging doctor intent on using atomic energy to create life.The lack of a good supporting cast hurt the film. DVD 6/10

Oct 10th

45. Thirst (2009) -
Modern asian take on vampires with a priest who becomes dependent on blood. Not sure why, but I was not into this one and the run time of 2hrs 14 min was painful. Blu Ray 6/10 ***
46. You'll Find Out (1940) - A light hearted spook film. It was great to see Boris Karloff, Peter Lorre and Bela Lugosi together. DVD 7/10
47. Zombies on Broadway (1945) - Bela is a scientist creating zombies in this low budget Abbott and Costello copy cat comedy.DVD 5/10
48. Return to Horror High (1987) - Mid tier 80's slasher about a movie crew that is killed off at an abandoned high school. Noteworthy for George Clooney as a security guard being killed off at the start of the film. Blu Ray 6/10 ***
49. Eaten Alive (1976) - A toby hooper classic because of Neville Brand's portrayal of crazy Judd and his pet Alligator. DVD 7.5/10

October 11th
50. Shivers (1975) -
A classic of the body horror genre. An apartment complex is the scene for a rash of killings caused by parasites that drive people sex crazy. Definitely a metaphor for sexually transmitted diseases like the film Rabid.Blu Ray 7/10
51. Transylvania 6-5000 - (1985) -Light-hearted comedy with the pairing of Jeff Goldblum and Ed Begley that surprisingly worked. Streaming 6/10. ***
52. The Attic (1980) -Ray Milland is a crotchety, old man who verbally terrorizes his daughter while she dreams of killing him off. Pretty tame, almost made for TV type horror drama. Youtube 6/10 ***

October 12th
53. Doctor Sleep (2019) -
A very good, atmospheric and creepy follow up to a classic. Kudos to Mike Flanagan. 8/10. Blu Ray ***
54. Destroy All Monsters(1968) - A childhood favorite and how could it not with every monster on display battling aliens and Ghidorah.Blu Ray 8.5/10
55, Gamera 3 The Revenge of Iris (1999) - The best of all Gamera films. A superb story with state of the art monster destruction. Blu Ray 9/10
56. Gamera The Brave (2006) - The Gamera films return to a kid dominated story line in this disappointing follow up to Gamera 3 Revenge of Iris. Blu Ray 5/10
57. Deadly Species (2002) - a group of Cinemax 'after dark' actors stumble around in the everglades looking for a lizard man. It's bad. real bad. DVD 2/10 ***

Oct 12th
58. Doctor X (1932)
- An entertaining murder mystery from the golden age of horror. Atwill and Fay Wray are a gem in this one. Story is pretty silly, but fun. DVD 7/10
59. What Have You Done to Solange (1972) - Classic Giallo with an ample amount of sleazy elements. Good story, well acted. Blu Ray 8.5/10
60. An Ideal Place to Kill (1971) - A sleazy Lenzi Giallo about a wife who frames two thieves for her husband's murder. A bit slow, but overall a good watch.Blu Ray 6.5/10 ***
61. Firestarter (1984) - I have always found Firestarter to be a dull, uninteresting film and rewatching it just confirmed my feelings. Not a fan. Also it's my least favorite George C Scott film. Streaming 6/10
62.The Tenant (1976) - Brilliant psychological horror about a man goes crazy after moving into an apartment where the previous tenant committed suicide. Amazon Prime 8/10 ***

October 14th
63. Mark of the Vampire (1935) -
Bela Lugosi returns as a vampire, but this time there is a twist. Moody and atmospheric, but I don't like the twist. DVD 6/10
64. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994) - Probably the most faithful adaptation of the novel. Overall, a good film, but maybe too ambitious for it's own good. Good performances all around. Blu Ray 7/10
65. Black Christmas (1974) - A masterpiece of horror. The number 1 slasher film of all time. Creepy, claustrophobic with superb kills. Blu Ray 10/10
66. The Mad Magician (1954) - Vincent Price plays a magician that goes mad after his employer takes advantage of him. One can see the star power of Vincent Price even in this early film. Blu Ray 7/10. ***

Oct 15th
67. Queen of Blood - (1966) -
Interesting vampire flick with the unlikely combination of Basil Rathbone, Dennis Hopper and John Saxon. The film is devoid of tension and the ending is rather anti-climatic. Amazon Prime 6/10 ***
68. Demonia (1990) - A group of crucified nuns haunt an archaeological site. Decent, but the film takes too long to get going and the special effects are very shaky. Blu Ray 6/10 ***
69. Satan's Slave (1976) - My favorite Norman Warren film. A cult, led by Michael Gough tries to resurrect their female leader. Well acted, sleazy and gory. Blu Ray 8/10
70, The Wind (1986) - Wings Hauser plays a psycho terrorizing novelist Meg Foster. A decent one time watch. Streaming 6/10 ***
71. Spookies (1986) - How can you not enjoy a film with farting mud men? Contained horror comedy with a group trapped in a house surrounded by monsters. It's a fun mash up of bad acting and fun special effects. streaming 6/10

Oct 16th
72. Aenigma (1987) -
Fulci's "Patrick" with lots of gore. A comatose woman takes revenge on those that bullied her through mind control. Very similar to the 70's film Patrick just with alot more gore. Blu Ray 7/10 ***
73. The Body Snatcher (1945) - One of the best films of the 40's and my personal favorite Boris Karloff film. Blu Ray 9/10
74. Bewitched (1981) - A woman hires an evil witch to put a spell on a guy who spurned her and he turns around and hires a good witch to fight it. Typical Shaw bros wild as hell.7/10. Blu Ray ***
75. Terror (1978) - Norman Warren's low budget "Suspiria". A decent supernatural thriller. Blu Ray 6/10

Oct 17th
77. Bloody New Year (1987) -
A strange, supernatural slasher. Decent watch, but a muddled story line. Blu Ray 6/10
78. The Bird With the Crystal Plumage (1970) - One of the best Gialli from the master, Dario Argento. Streaming 9/10
79. The Addam's Family (1991) - A light hearted comedy. Without Christopher Lloyd, there would not be much here to like. Amazon Prime 6/10 ***

Oct 18th

80. Little Monsters (1989) -
A children's horror comedy that probably won't resonate with you unless you grew up watching this film. Definitely kids target audience. Blu Ray 5/10 ***
81. Street Trash (1987) - my fourth watch. I like the interplay between the mafioso wannabe and the bellhop. The final head explosion is classic. streaming 7/10
82. Out of the Dark (1995) - i have no clue what i just watched. streaming 3/10 ***

Oct 19th
83. Thir13en Ghosts (2001)
- Action oriented ghost story with comedic dialogue. Decent one time watch AMC 6/10 ***
84. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920) - A masterpiece of German expressionism and a well told story. Blu Ray 10/10
85. Dagon (2001) - This movie has grown on me with multiple viewings. I think it is a very good Lovecraft adaptation well directed by Stuart Gordon. BluRay 7/10
86. Terrified (2017) - A genuinely creepy film. Paranormal activity and dead people terrorize a small neighborhood and the cop sent to investigate. Shudder 7/10
87. The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016) - A solid, creepy film. I love the claustrophic setting of the morgue and I like how the film explains the events. streaming 7.5/10

Oct 20th
88. The Rite (2011) - Anthony Hopkins plays a priest who helps another priest regain his faith through exorcisms. Decent watch. Hopkins was a bit "silence of the lambs" hammy towards the end. Blu Ray 7/10
89. Black Magic part 2 (1976) - Another bat shit crazy flick from the Shaw Bros. This time an old medicine man turns to black magic to keep himself young and sells love spells to unsuspecting customers. Masonry nails in the head, resuscitated corpses, potions including women's pubic hair. unreal. Blu Ray 8/10 ***
90. Beyond Darkness (1990) - Also known as house 5. A very entertaining Italian cross between Amityville Horror and Exorcist. Claudio Fragasso's Gates of Hell. The acting was surprisingly good. The film was shot in my back yard practically (St Tammany Parish)
7/10. Blu Ray ***
91. Junior (2002) - Over five minutes of the killer shaking a car of one of his victims gives you an idea of how awful this is.DVD 2/10***
92. Body Snatchers (1993) - I am a big Abel Ferrara fan, but this film was a clunker. Plodding story with average acting. Streaming 6/10***
93. Death Bed: The Bed That Eats (1977) - Only the pessimistic 70's could produce a seriously played film about a bed that consumes its victims. Very strange film indeed. Need to rewatch. Amazon Prime 6.5/10 ***

Oct 21st
94. The New York Ripper (1982) -
A gruesome, sleazy, slasher from Fulci. The Donald Duck Killer is classic. Great story, great musical score. Blu Ray 9/10
95. Depraved (2019) - I really enjoyed this re-imaging of the Frankenstein story. Very tall task to take such a famous story and successfully update it to a modern setting and do it well. Hulu 8/10 ***
96. Mad Love (1935) - A tour de force performance by Peter Lorre as an insane, but brilliant surgeon. DVD 9/10
97. Day of the Triffids (1962) - Meteors from space blind the population and alien like plants attempt to take over. Cheesy Sc Fi fun with some flat acting on the negative side. Amazon Prime
7/10
98. The Screaming Skull (1958) - Watched the MST3K on the Scream Factory Blu Ray. A man sets out to make his wife crazy. This film has some of the most extended scenes of panning shots I can recall in any film. An exercise in tedium even with the comedy track. Blu Ray 4/10
99. The Lodge (2019) - A genuinely creepy film which effectively utilizes story, setting and great acting to achieve it's aim without cheap jump scares. Awesome stuff.Hulu 9/10 ***

Oct 22nd
100. Tales from the Darkside: the Movie (1990)
- Three solid anthology stories and a good wrap around with Debbie Harry. The first episode was my favorite. The third i saw the twist coming, but still was good. Blu Ray 7.5/10 ***
101. Severed (2002) - Shit, shot on shitty' o. DVD 1/10 ***
102. Carnivore (2000) - Horror acting, boring story and a shitty monster. Hey, its shot on shitty' o.; DVD 1/10***

Oct 23rd
103. Tales from the Crypt Demon Knight (1995) -
The story of Demon Knight should have been a 45 minute show. Just not enough here for a feature length film. I also struggled with Billy Zane. I think he was miscast. Streaming 6/10 ***
104. Children of the Living Dead (2001) - Watchable direct to video zombie flick with a good opening scene staring Tom Savini. 4/10 DVD ***
105 JD's Revenge (1976) - Entertaining blaxsploitation revenge flick set in New Orleans in the 70s. Cheesy fun. Blu Ray 7/10
106. The Ghost Lovers (1974) - Kwaidan inspired Shaw Bros ghost story about a girl who dies a virgin and she must marry to be release from purgatory. Blu Ray
6/10***
107. They Nest (2000) - Also called Creepy Crawlers. A decent bug movie. Large African cockroaches infest a small town. The proceedings were elevated due to John Savage, Dean Stockwell and Thomas Calabro. The story overall is average. DVD 6/10 ***
108. Abracadabra (2018) - Interesting Giallo homage from the Onetti brothers. 6/10 Blu Ray ***

Oct 24th

109. Knife of Ice (1972)
- Lenzi gialli about a mute women tormented by her rich aristocrat family. Nice twist ending. Blu Ray 6.5/10 ***
110. Nightmare Beach (1989) - Lenzi beach babes and slasher flick. Cheesy fun. 6.5/10 Blu Ray

Oct 25th

111. A Quiet Place to Kill (1970)
- Another Gialli love triangle with money as the kill motive once again. Standard story, but well acted. Blu Ray 7/10 ***
112. Ravenous (1999) - I love the civil war setting for this virus/cannibal film. Great acting, great story. BLu Ray 8.5/10
113. The Devil (1981) - A hideously ugly witch casts spells on her victims which turns their insides into snakes and worms. Another delight from Hong Kong. Over the top crazy. Bu Ray 7/10 ***

Oct 26th
114. The Color Out of Space (2019) -
A delightfully bizarre film with a great performance by Nick Cage as a father who's family is transformed by a meteor crash near their farm.Blu Ray
9/10
115. VFW (2019) - Gory seige film with dope heads attacking a bar. mindless fun. Blu Ray 7/10 ***
116. Under the Skin (2013) - A hypnotic, strange film about an alien played by Scarlett Yohansen who lures men into a black pool as food for the aliens. Powerful ending. Blu Ray 9/10
117. The Baby (1972) - Only the 70's can give you a story as wild and controversial as this one. A grown man is treated like a baby by his mother and sisters and saved by a social worker , but with a wild twist. Blu Ray 8/10
118. The Monster Squad (1987) - A fun family film with all of the universal monsters represented. Blu Ray 7/10

Oct 27th

119. Tales from the Crypt Bordello of Blood (1995) -
This film is kind of a mess. Casting of Dennis Miller and cameo with whoopie goldberg didn't help. 5/10 Streaming
120. The Black Castle (1954) - Karloff and Chaney unfortunately have minor roles in this period piece about a sadistic aristocrat whose wife tries to leave him with her lover. decent, but not memorable. Blu Ray 6/10
121. Cult of the Cobra (1955) - A bit of a departure for Universal from standard monster fare to a story about a cobra cult that puts a death curse on a group of GI's. Tame story , but well acted. Blu Ray 6/10

Oct 28th

122. The Shadow of the Cat (1961) -
Barbara Shelley stars in this "murder for inheritance" flick. A black cat seeks revenge on the murderers of his owner. Decent, atmospheric film. Blu Ray 6/10 ***
123. The Thing That Couldn't Die (1958) - A farm family finds an ancient treasure box, but the box contains the head of a devil worshiper that terrorizes the group. Cheesy fun. Blu Ray 6/10
124. The Monster Club (1981) - Alot of talent in this anthology with Roy Ward Baker directing and Vincent Price/John Carradine, but overall very tepid stuff.
Streaming 6/10

Oct 29th

125. Who's Watching Oliver ? (2018) -
I gotta say i did not like this one at all. It's not a bad film, but i think meshing upbeat music with scenes of Oliver and then switching to the sadistic kills just didn't work for me. The kill scenes are just too mean spirited to ever allow the light hearted Oliver moments to work. Streaming 5/10 ***
126. Death Bed the Bed That Eats (1977) - listened to the commentary track with the director George Barry and Stephen Thrower. Excellent. Blu Ray 7/10

Oct 30th

127. The Beast with a Million Eyes (1955)
-An alien lands in the desert and exerts mind control. A micro budget copy of It Came From Outer Space , but with lots of tedious exposition. youtube 5/10***
128. Friday the 13th (1980) - Still a classic after 40 years and a great slasher. 9/10 BLu Ray
129. Killing Ground (2017) - I give this movie a 7/10 because it elicited a response from me which should be the ultimate goal of a movie. Rape/Revenge flicks seem to get me wind up every time. I was beyond frustrated with the wimp husband who bungled numerous opportunities to be proactive, but left it up to the wife to handle. IFC streaming 7/10 ***
130. Friday the 13th Part II (1981) - Hands down on of the best in the series. BLu Ray 9/10
131. The Blackcoat's Daughter (2015) - One of the best horror films of 2015. A well scripted and visually appealing film with characters that are multi-faceted. Highly recommended Blu Ray 9/10

Oct 31st
132. Halloween II (1981) -
A more than adequate follow up to a classic film. Halloween 1 and 2 are both so good that they can almost be considered one continuous film.Blu Ray 9/10
133. Friday the 13th Part III (1982) - Part III has the scariest Jason in the series and the lovable Shelley, lol. First time I noticed in the end credits that credit for the characters was given to Miller and Kurtz- no mention of S. Cunningham. Interesting. Blu Ray 7.5/10
134. Within (2016) - A family discovers their new home has a history of murders and a killer living in the walls. Decent first half of the film that falls apart in the final act with much of the film in total darkness. Technically, a poor film. amazon prime 4/10***
135, Friday the 13th The Final Chapter (1984) - The best of the series in my opinion. Blu Ray 10/10
136. Halloween 4 (1988) - This one has not held up well for me. There are plot / logic problems and I think Myers looks terrible - bad mask and uniform. Blu Ray 6/10

Indy's 2009 Halloween/Horror Challenge

Goal= 50 (Finished with 82)
* indicates first time viewing (Finished with 18 movies)

September 30
1. Tales From the Darkside* (1990)- Call it this, Creepshow, Tales from the Crypt, or Trick 'r Treat... a horror anthology by any name smells as sweet when it's done right. And this is done right; taking bits of horror, adding some humor, a creepy atmosphere, and decent acting, all coming together in something fun and enjoyable.
2. Scream 4 (2011)- If you like the Scream movies, this is one of the better ones, on par with the 2nd one. If you don't, why are you reading this? They cracked the Scream code of putting high school students in danger instead of college students (they are old enough to know better) or Hollywood wannabes (no one loves them). And Hayden Panettiere definitely moves the needle, if ya know what I mean.

October 1
3. Rosemary's Baby (1968)- I liked this more than I did 10 years ago, but my problem is still that the main character's basically a victim. Would Ripley, Princess Leia, or Wonder Woman let some geriatric Scratch club do her dirty? Hell no! I guess what I'm saying is I don't wanna see Sarah Connor from T1, I wanna see Sarah Connor from T2. The future is female!

October 3
4. Kolchak: The Night Stalker S1 E11: Horror in the Heights*, S1 E12: Mr. R.I.N.G.*
5. Night of the Comet (1984)- This cult classic is truly a slice of pure, unbridled 80's fun. It's a full on horror gumbo with a kick-ass heroine, end of the world setting, a shootout at the OK Mall, a valley girl cheerleader, zombie-ish goons, and the obligatory pesky, evil military scientist.
6. A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)- The first and only time Freddy Krueger is actually scary. This is a great, effective film because you don't see very much of Freddy. And when you do, it's always in the dark and he doesn't speak much, to say nothing of cracking lame puns and one-liners. Eventually, he turns into a third-rate Larry the Cable Guy, or is Larry the Cable Guy a third-rate Freddy Krueger? I think I will go and write a script for Freddy vs Larry that will settle it once and for all.
7. Thirteen Ghosts (2001)- It's so 2000's horror with it's jerky and sudden cuts, stereotypcial characters (which are different from the 70's or 80's stereotypes), and weak ass CGI that looks straight from the old Sci-Fi channel (not to be confused with the SyFy network). It's basically the Kirk Cousins of horror movies, sometimes it's pretty good, sometimes it's pretty bad.

October 4
8. Howl* (2015)- Proves my theory that not all assholes are American. We might have the lion's share, but we didn't corner the market. Sorry, back to the movie and it's a very good one. The British do love their werewolves don't they. The setting is somewhat original with a decent collection of distinctly English characters. The biggest weakness is that unoriginal title, what's wrong with, Train to Terror or Midnight Beast Train or Murder on the Lycanthrope Express?
9. Night of the Demons 2* (1994)- A buncha catholic school tweenagers struggle to overcome a wise cracking succubus. Look, I know I'm using tweenagers incorrectly, but really, shouldn't it mean twenty-year-olds pretending to be teens? If you liked the first movie, this is more of the same, but changing it up enough to keep it interesting. It's a little bit Evil Dead, a little bit Bordello of Blood, and a little bit Bells of St. Mary's.
10. Cabin in the Woods (2011)- This is like the pork rinds of horror films, you either love or hate it. I for one, love it and all its meta-ness, or metamess. The main problem is that it really is best the first time you see it. Once you know what's going on, you can concentrate on all the easter eggs, but the mystery is gone, kinda like the Crying Game.

October 5
11. Kolchak: The Night Stalker S1 E13: Primal Scream*, S1 E14: The Trevi Collection*
12. The Evil Dead (1981)- I have a confession to make, when I first saw this back in the late 80's, I didn't like it. What can I say, I was young and stupid. Don't look at me like that, you said this was a safe place. At least now I recognize this for the low budget genuis that it is. There's a reason this is a classic that has spawned sequels, reboots, a TV show, comic books, a musical, and a breakfast cereal. Okay, maybe I made that last one up, but I'd eat Deadite-Os with a spoon.
13. Sorority Row (2009)- When you want all the main characters dead inside 15 minutes, that's not a good sign, even in a slasher pic. This is probably a horror version of Pretty Little Liars, or Gossip Girl, or Riverdale, but honestly I've never watched those shows, so I can't be sure.

October 6
14. The Evil Dead II (1987)- I have a confession to make, when I first saw this back in the late 80's... well, you know. For part two, they traded the creepy atmospheric set up for the splatstick comedy. But this is when Ash becomes Ash: The Horror Icon. I think the trees in the woods of this and especially part one must have been Eastern Harvus Pinesteins.
15. The Evil Dead (2013)- Imma sound like that old lady in the classic Wendy's commercial, but, where's the fun? The OG Evil Deads were like an amusement park ride and this is like a horrible car accident. It's not a bad movie at all, but it's Evil Dead minus any humor and shot with a torture porn lens. It's like Metallica doing a cover of Gangnam Style.

October 7
16. Let Me In (2010)- Twilight for the preens (see, so much better than tweens), except way more realistic, i.e., depressing. Someone must have watched Interview with the Vampire and said, what if lil Kirsten Dunst didn't die? Where would she be today, if today was 1983?

October 8
17. Shivers* (1975)- Thanks Cronenberg, you just ruined sex for me. This is basically Dawn of the Sex Zombies, or you could say, a wet nightmare. Yet it's still manages to be very Canadian and very 70's. Call me old fashioned, but I like my orgies invitation only, not flash mob style.
18. Hubie Halloween* (2020)- And the Oscar goes to..., okay, maybe Golden Globe. Yup, believe it or not, this is a huge winner folks. I've seen like ten movies released in 2020, and this probably ranks 2nd. It's an instant Halloween classic and Adam Sandler at his comedic best. It's his equivalent to Elvis' '68 Comeback Special. Shut up, my mom is a huge Elvis fan.

October 9
19. Kolchak: The Night Stalker S1 E15: Chopper*, S1 E16: Demon in Lace*
20. It: Part 1 (1990)- I grew up, so to speak, with this version, so it will always have a place in my Grinch-sized heart. It is still charming in it's made for TV way, but pales next to the recent remake. And like that one, the part with the kids is far superior.
21. It: Part 2 (1990)- Focusing on the adults is far less interesting, I mean honestly, who cares if a buncha rich, white people go down into a sewer to fight a puppet. Where's the terror in that?
22. Butterfly Kisses* (2017)- Surprise, surprise, I'd never even heard of this and it was pretty good. Really leans into the found footage angle, and like the Blair Witch Project, centers around the characters instead of the monster. Which is kinda sad, cause they had a really good one. I guess what it's saying is at the end of the day, Peeping Tom, Freddy, Jason, Michael, or Satan aint got nothing on someone like Trump.

October 10
23. Body Bags* (1993)- A veritable who's who of 70's and 80's horror. Also a blatant rip off of Tales From the Crypt, with Carpenter as the Crypt Keeper. Hey, maybe he was the Crypt Keeper, just right after he died. This was merely an OK horror anthology, the middle story being silly and unrelatable today, since bald is in fashion. Dudes got more hair on their chins than their heads these days.
24. Prom Night (1980)- This movie is basically a buncha tweens and a caveman from those old Geico commercials vs the sparkle mask slasher. Also, there's a 20 minute disco dance sequence right smack in the middle of the film... only in the 80's baby.
25. From Dusk till Dawn (1996)- Reservoir Dogs takes a left turn right into Tales From the Crypt. Quentin Tarantino plays a crazy Ted Raimi while George Clooney plays an evil George Clooney and Cheech Martin plays everyone else. See kids, back in our day, vampires were ugly AF demons straight outta hell's butthole.

October 11
26. Kolchak: The Night Stalker S1 E17: Legacy of Terror*, S1 E18: The Knightly Murders*
27. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986)- Meat is murder in this odd sequel that trades the gritty, documentary style of the original for black humor and gore. It starts out completely different from part one, then about half way in, turns into an almost remake.
28. Mirrors (2008)- In the 00's, Kiefer Sutherland only knew one speed... Jack Bauer. Here, Nina Myers, aka a demon trapped inside mirrors, terrorized Jack's family and blurred lines between this world and a parallel hellish one. Also starring Amy Smart's butt.
29. The Haunting of Bly Manor S1 E1: The Great Good Place*, S1 E2: The Pupil*- A pair of mom jeans gets hired to watch some desperately British kids in a giant, spooky mansion. Not nearly as scary as Hill House, more eerie, kinda like a Pink Floyd song. "Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way."
30. The Haunting of Bly Manor S1 E3: The Two Faces, Part One*, S1 E4: The Way It Came*

October 12
31. Malevolence* (2004)- Some bad actors rob a bank, then kidnap some other bad actors, then run into Jason from Friday the 13th part 2. Not bad, minus the acting of course, but pretty basic.
32. The Lodge* (2019)- The worst father ever trades Alicia Silverstone in for a younger, more cultier model, then abandons his childern in a remote cabin with her. Next you have to figure out who's play crazy games, the ghost of Alicia, her younger twin, the creepy-ass kids that would scary Pennywise, or you, for watching this. I did get to scream, 'prank wars' a couple times.

October 13
33. Hell Fest* (2018)- Aka Michael Made a Maze. A buncha hip college kids go to a haunt at Action Park and run into Michael Myers. Good acting, writing, and a high production value lifts this into the rarefied air of a good slasher movie. On a side note, I totally had this idea 10 years ago. Wait what, you did too... damn it!
34. The Haunting of Bly Manor S1 E5: The Altar of the Dead*, S1 E6: The Jolly Corner*

October 14
35. American Psycho (2000)- The movie that put Christian Bale on the map and made geeks everywhere scream, "He's the perfect Bruce Wayne". And if you really think about it, that's who he's playing in this flick, albeit a completely unhinged version. IMDB lists this as drama but not horror, which makes as much sense as listing Little Women as horror but not drama.

October 15
36. Malevolence 2: Bereavement* (2011)- So they gave the creator of the first one a lot more money, and it does show. The acting is solid this time around, always good to see Michael Biehn and even better to see Alexandra Daddario. But this is an origin story for the killer in part one, so ain't gonna be no happy endings... unless you are an evil piece of fruit roll-up.
37. The Haunting of Bly Manor S1 E7: The Two Faces, Part Two*, S1 E8: The Romance of Certain Old Clothes*

October 16
38. Creep 2* (2017)- I saw the first one a while back and don't remember a lot about it except that the main character was compellingly weird, like that one guy back in school that looked normal, but gave off major freak vibes. That continues with this one, using humor and awkwardness to drive the story forward. Think Behind the Mask, but more realistic... well, a little more realistic.
39. The Town That Dreaded Sundown (1976)- A 70's spiritual progenitor to Fincher's Zodiac minus the A-list actors and adding a narrator. Including a Barney Fife style character was an interesting choice as was the Keystone cops version of fast and furious.

October 17
40. Kolchak: The Night Stalker S1 E19: The Youth Killer, S1 E20: The Sentry*
41. The Haunting of Bly Manor S1 E9: The Beast in the Jungle*
Creepshow S1 E1: Gray Matter/The House of the Head*
42. Friday the 13th (1980)- Everything you heard about this movie is true. It's a ripoff of Halloween. It's a fun slasher mystery with interesting and likable characters. It's a low budget, kinda boring cash grab. It's the embodiment of camp lore and started the ball rolling on imaginative kills. It's all a matter of perspective.
43. Friday the 13th part II (1981)- A young Jason picks up right where his mama left off. Here he's less a menacing killing machine and more a clumsy hillybilly. Still, a good old fashioned 80's slasher tale.
44. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (2012)- If history was a little more like this, maybe I wouldn't have slept through Mrs. Bockwinkel's class. A young Liam Neeson plays a young Abe Lincoln fighting vampires and slavery while appropriating kung fu. It dares ask the age old question, which is worse, a slave owner or a vampire? Makes you wonder how people could have ever been on the side of slavery... then you see all the Trump/Pence signs and say, "oh, that's how."

October 18
45. Friday the 13th part III (1982)- Some much less likable characters run afoul of a much bigger, more threatening Jason in 3-D. I have a theory how Jason changed so much in one day... they cast a different actor. This is where the Jason you, I, and merchandising everywhere knows and loves originated.
46. The Babysitter 2: Killer Queen* (2020)- Are we sure this wasn't written by Seth Rogen, Danny McBride, Jonah Hill, and Evan Goldberg? I mean, it's kinda funny, but in a over the top, trying way too hard sorta way. If you drink every time you hear a pop culture reference, you'll be dead inside of 5 minutes. Also, never trust the "good girl" with the douchey boyfriend. She's with him for a reason, either she's secretly douchey or it's the opposite of the halo effect. The devil horns effect maybe? Jenny Ortega!
47. Slasher S1 E1: An Eye for an Eye*, S1 E2: Digging Your Grave with Your Teeth*- Lena Luthor wants to live mortgage free, so she moves back into the house where her parents where murdered. Shortly afterwards, a killer dressed like a black condom shows up doing killer things. Can we please talk aboot how impractical this murder costume is? You'd have such a limited range of motion and vision, you'd be hard pressed to kill a slug. Plus, you'd sweat like a possessed heroin addict with the flu.
48. Freddy vs. Jason (2003)- Unlike most of the internet, I can't come up with a better way to bring these horror icons together than they did in this movie. Maybe Shakespeare or Rian Johnson could have done it, but not little old me. This was a fun 2000s romp with some WB/CW looking tween stereotypes living their best lives that was 75% Nightmare on Elm St. and 25% Friday the 13th. Now where's Freddy vs. Jason vs. Godzilla vs. Kramer?
49. Monsterland S1 E1: Port Fourchon, Louisiana*, S1 E2: Eugene, Oregon*- I don't mind my horror being sad, somber, or even nihilistic, but depressing af? C'mon man, at least throw us a joke or a boob.

October 19
50. Friday the 13th part IV (1984)- This is Friday the 13th on steroids... meaner, gorier, weirder, and nudier. Crispin Glover's dance alone makes it worth the price of admission. Jason really takes his murder game to the next level, going from all-star to MVP. Question no one asks, when Tommy cosplays young Jason, why does he pop his collar?
51. A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)- The girl with the dragon tattoo teams up with Black Canary and My Chemical Romance to battle Rorschach. Once again the internet acts like a Russian judge at the Olympics and gives this flick an unfair rating. But this is what I want in a remake, update it and gives us something new while honoring the spirit of the original. I will admit I am not a huge fan of the Nightmare franchise and this Freddy does lack the charisma of Englund. Why it's not a big deal is although I like some humor in my horror film, I don't want it coming from the killer. And this Freddy is as serious as Burt Reynolds' Mustache.

October 20
52. Friday the 13th part V (1985)- As if the last Friday wasn't kinda sleazy, part V comes along and says, "hold my machete". Roy Burns throws his mask in the ring for the title of the best Jason, so to speak. I will say the setting of a halfway (nut) house in the woods is kinda a breath of fresh air. The cast is bigger than Avengers Infinity War, the mystery is not exactly Hitchcockian, but it does have my favorite Voorhees, Deborah Sue. And the ending is similar to Halloween 4 in that it gets walked back in the next movie.
53. Beetlejuice (1988)- Why don't they make more movies like this? A fairly original concept that banks on a great cast, with Keaton being the runaway MVP. Also standing out was the younger Moria Rose and Joyce Byers. This is where Burton became Burton, minus Johnny Depp and whatever actress he happened to be dating at the time.

October 21
54. The Shining (1980)- Jack takes the most annoying wife in cinematic history and his son who's possessed by Dorothy Hamill's hair up to the Great Wolf Lodge for some maze running. To be honest, this Jack Torrance would have gone nutty buddy at a Holiday Inn. There seems to be this whole King vs. Kubrick antagonistic debate here in cyberspace, like it's a presidental race or something. Sure, this movie is a classic and I love it, but Kubrick isn't some flawless directing messiah. The acting in this isn't exactly Oscar worthy, and from what I've read, Kubs was a rat bastard of a human. So, if that's your idol, what's that say about you, chuckles?

55. Friday the 13th part VII (1988)- Everyone calls this Jason vs. Carrie, but I prefer to think of it as an alternate X-Men movie, Juggernaut vs. Jean Grey. Professer X takes Jean up to Alkali Lake in order to bring back his brother, Cain, with her phoenix force powers. Then Jean meets Cyclops, Emma Frost, Storm, Kitty, Beast, Rogue, and the rest of the mutant gang just before Juggs starts sending them one by one straight to the Hellfire Club.
56. Lovecraft Country S1 E8: Jig-a-Bobo*, S1 E9: Rewind 1921*- This is horror done right. The story telling is so skilled as is the acting and directing. Sorry to offend some snowflake delicacies, but great horror is sociopolitical and the scariest monsters are always us.

October 23
57. Slasher S1 E3: Like as Fire Eateth Up and Burneth Wood*, S1 E4: As Water Is Corrupted Unless It Moves*
58. Lost Boys (1987)- The movie that made vampires cool and trendy af. It's basically the Corys vs the undead mullets, set to an iconic soundtrack. This is so much 80's, the clothes, the dialogue, the music... it's almost an 80's overdose. I was totally waiting for Bill S. Preston, Esq. to say, "Do you like... banoddles?"
59. The Addams Family* (2019)- Takes a little bit until it finds it's (Addams) groove, but once it does, it's a fun and witty tale. Thing is, the plot is very familiar, but the dry, black humor and the charming animation makes up for (cousin) it.

October 24
60. Asylum* (1972)- Shows that even English folks lie, cheat, and murder. They just do it in a British fashion, all stuffy and proper. I can see how this might be scary to kids or maybe even adults in the early 70's, but now it's just quaint.
61. The Exorcist (1973)- The father of the possessed movie genre, this is the best horror movie of all time. It sets the rules, or tropes, for how to exerice a demon. Come to think of it, I think the country could use a good old fashioned exorcism. Anyone got Father Merrin or Karras's digits? Or Twitter handle?

October 25
62. Rabid* (1977)- Ah a Cronenberg movie, where every male is either a doctor or rapist. The Marilyn Chambers is Typhoid Mary in a rabies/zombie epidemic in 70's Canada. Canuck Christopher Walken gives us a tour around the great white north while trying to track her down. Still waiting on Shivers vs. Rabid.
63. Friday the 13th part VIII (1989)- Aka Jason takes a cruise. Jason files for a change of killing venue, leaves the comfort of the woods and becomes the king of the world on a boat like Leo. What's really amazing is all the different tween characters they've come up with for all these movies, this one has the rocker chic, film geek, and the boxer dude.
64. Creepshow S1 E3: Bad Wolf Down/The Finger*, S1 E4: All Hallow's Eve/The Man in the Suitcase*
65. Malevolence 3* (2017)- Discount Michael Myers is back, this time he's stalking a very bad drama club. Seriously, the first movie was very amateur, with awful acting and basic directing. Part two improved to at least a standard, professional studio film. Part three goes right back to the amateur style. Guess they blew the low budget on Adrienne Barbeau's anti-smoking campaign.
66. Dracula 2000 (2000)- Vampire Kylo Ren awakens in the 21st century and promptly visits a Virgin Megastore for some Vitamin C. As you can see, this movie is really dated.
67. Lovecraft Country S1 E10: Full Circle Monsterland S1 E3: New Orleans, Louisiana*

October 26
68. Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993)- If you were sick of Jason hacking his way through a buncha tweens in the woods, this might be the Friday for you (but probably not). More The Hidden than a Friday the 13th flick, this is basically a big budget fanfiction. Or as the kids on the street would say, a hot f'ing mess. If anyone every tries to convince you otherwise, slowly back away from them like they are wearing a suit made out of COVID and call the police.
69. Friday the 13th part VI (1986)- And after a 'new beginning', we're back to Jason. Poor, dumb Tommy Jarvis frankensteins Jason which leads directly to Horshack's dead... so it's not all bad. This entry is almost family friendly, giving us more humor, but the thirstiest and most useless final girl. We go from quasi-realistic tweens to a buncha pretty, but dull scientologists.

October 27
70. A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987)- Alabama and Morpheus take on Freddy in the most fun Nightmare to date. Freddy's still a little scary, walking the line between evil dream hellion and one-liner machine. But man, Heather Langenkamp can't act her way out of a paper bag.
71. Annabelle: Creation (2017)- The best of the Annabelle trilogy, and can you believe there's a trilogy? This is big A's origin story, pitting the demon toy against Eowyn and the orphans (is that a great band name or what?). The question they fail to answer is who in their right mind would even make a doll that basically screams, "instrument for satanic possession."

October 28
72. Jason X (2001)- Aka, Jason in spaaaaace. Someone in the 90's must have thought, "Hey, what if we mash up Aliens and Friday the 13th?" Jason wanders onto the set of Babylon 5 and does Jason things to the lovable but expendable crew. This is actually a lot more fun then it has any business being, with some decent kills and funny quips, but really bad SFX.
73. Hocus Pocus (1993)- Simply put, this is an October staple. Great mix of humor, fun, danger, and plain old Halloween spirit. It's got that je ne sais quoi which explains perfectly why it's a cult classic.

October 29
74. Friday the 13th (2009)- Modern day Jason ain't nobody's huckleberry. Wait, if it's 11 years old, is it still modern day? Anyway, this is a paint by numbers Friday the 13th, yeah they got the gore, woods, nudity, lake, variety of stock characters, and a big scary decathlete Jason, but it's just too polished. And it crams the first four OG Friday's into one, which is just doing too damn much for a horror flick.
75. Slasher S1 E5: Ill-Gotten Gains*, S1 E6: The One Who Sows His Own Flesh*
76. Halloween (1978)- The seminal masterpiece to which all others are compared. It might not have invented the slasher genre, but it sure as hell made it popular. A pretty simple idea, take some 70's tweens and place them in the path of a hurricane of pure evil... with a big ass knife. Kinda a morality tale for this pandemic, you play it safe and smart and you and your family will live. You drink, smoke, and party like it's 2019, then you won't. Okay, you probably will, but you will also perpetuate the pandemic and contribute to killing others. Trick or treat!

October 30
77. Slasher S1 E7: In the Pride of His Face*, S1 E8: Soon Your Own Eyes Will See*
78. The Nun (2018)- I would call this slightly underrated. It has one of the best settings in horror, a creepy castle that rivals Hogwarts. That, some great atmopshere and a spooky AF villain. What it's missing is the set up, we don't spend enough time with the characters before they are thrown right into the salmagundi. Where is sister Irene from, who is sister Irene, why is sister Irene?

October 31
79. Maximum Overdrive* (1986)- This could be viewed as a prequel to the Terminator, albeit a half-baked one. King's villains are usually such one-note caricatures, but at least the machine ones in this have more depth than the human ones.
80. Creepshow S1 E5: The Companion/Lydia Layne's Better Half*, S1 E6: Night of the Paw/Times Is Tough in Musky Holler*
81. Monsterland S1 E4: New York, New York*, Toy Story of Terror, It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
82. Trick 'r Treat (2007)- Ending with a challenge perennial, which is a perfect blend of scares, humor, twists, and essence 'o Halloween.
