SEPT 30: INDIE/ARTHOUSE CROSSOVER
1. I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE (1943) [imported blu ray] - ★★★★✰- I watched this years ago, and I liked it even more this time. I love vintage horror and there's something about Val Lewton films that are just a little more edgy, quirky, and dark. There are some iconic images in this film, particularly the section in the sugar cane field--the women with their flowing gowns, the tall stalks, the coming upon skulls and dead animals, the uber creepy zombie guard. The voodoo ceremony was pretty authentic, surprisingly. It must have been shocking in the 40's. All in all, a great film.
Watched for: Subset, theme night
2. INVISIBLE MAN RETURNS (1940) ☼ [blu ray] - ★★✰✰✰ - .First time watch. It was pretty dull. A rather pedestrian plotline about a framed man. Vincent Price is the invisible man, so you only see his face for the last minute of the film, unfortunately.
Watched for: Actor: Vincent Price
3. DR TERROR'S HOUSE OF HORRORS(1965) [blu ray] - ★★★✰✰ - I mainly watched this for Donald Sutherland. He's very young in this--all ears and amazing blue eyes. A few of the stories were unexciting, but I like Christopher Lee's and Donald Sutherlands. The framing device of the men in a train car and one of them reading the fortune of the rest using tarot cards was fun.
Watched for: Actor: Donald Sutherland, Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee; The word "Horror" is in the title

OCT 1: TEXAS CHAINSAW 50TH ANNIVERSARY
4. THE REAPING (2007) ☼ [Amazon streaming] - ★★★✰✰ (3.5 stars) - This was pretty good. It's been awhile since I've seen a new religious horror movie. This one has a creepy small Southern town conspiracy, biblical plagues, and an investigation plotline. Hilary Swank was decent in the lead and Indris Elba was awesome. The ending was pretty cheesy, but that's often the case with religious horror. I'd recommend it.
Watched for: THEME: shot in Texas
5. THE TRAP (2024) ☼ [Amazon streaming] - ★★★✰✰ - .I usually like Shyamalan's films, so I was looking forward to this one. I thought it was kind of a dud for the first hour. The concert sequence went on too long. I thought the whole film was going to be at the concert. Once they left, it picked up a bit. I liked the last 30 minutes or so and the ending. "Lady Raven" is apparently Shyamalan's daughter, and she did a nice job. A bit too on the nose Taylor Swift knock-off, plot wise, but she was good.
Watched for: Director: M Night Shyamalan
6. THE HYPNOTIC EYE (1960) ☼ [Amazon streaming] - ★★★✰✰ - (3.5 stars) .A delightfully creepy horror-slash-noir-detective movie. The case involves beautiful women who are mutilating themselves unaccountably. They track some of the victims to a stage hypnotist played by Jacques Bergerac, who is truly compelling. If you like b&w noir, you might enjoy this. BEWARE though -- there are some intense flashing strobe effects.
Watched for: Sub-genre: Hypnosis

OCT 2: UNUSED THEME
7. ZEDER (1983) ☼ [blu ray] - ★★★✰✰ - . Interesting. The plot involves a writer who gets a used typewriter. On the ribbon he finds type from a letter written by the previous owner. It draws him into an investigation of an arcane theory about how, if you bury the dead in certain archeological areas associated with the Delphi Oracles and other supernatural events, the dead can come back to life. It's a slow-burn, think-y kind of horror without a lot of gore or murders, but I liked the occult theory and there are some genuinely scary moments. The ending was good.
Watched for: THEME - this movie is on "The Definitive Guide to Horror Movies" unused theme. It's also new on the They Shoot Zombies list for 2024
8. TERROR AT LONDON BRIDGE (1985) ☼ [Amazon streaming] - ★✰✰✰✰ - .Quite bad. First of all, if you're going to have a premise that involves the return of Jack the Ripper, you might wanna research his actual, historical M.O. In this movie he slits throats and that's it. That's not the Ripper's MO. Also his outfit does not feel authentic for the Ripper. It's sort of puritan American. David Hasselhoff was awful and there wasn't enough of Adrienne Barbeau. Also, it's hard to imagine a location LESS like foggy London than bright, sunny, hot, flat Lake Havasu. Blah.
Watched for: Checklist - 2 Actors - Adrianne Barbeau and Clu Gulager

OCT 3: GIALLO
9. THE SPIDER LABYRINTH(1988) ☼ [Amazon streaming] - ★★★✰✰ - .An interesting little giallo. A professor is sent to investigate a colleague in Budapest who has stopped replying. He was working on some "important project", which we later find out was about a cult involving a spider. Or spider gods. Of course the cult is alive and well (if drooling web-fluid can be called well) and determined to keep their secrets hidden. I loved the Euro scenery and there were some scary moments.
Watched for: Subset film, Theme
10. SALEM'S LOT (2024) ☼ [Amazon streaming] - ★★★★✰ - .Damn! That little kid is the bomb. I want him on my side in any fight. The bit with the drive-in screen was brilliant. Overall, a nice adaptation of a classic. The cast is all unknowns, but it doesn't detract from the production. I've been waiting for this, and I wasn't disappointed. There are some genuinely terrifying scenes in the novel, and this movie delivered. The glowing eyes were super effective.
Watched for: Checklist: based on a novel; based on a Stephen King story

OCT 4: ANTHOLOGIES
11. GHOST STORIES (2017) [blu ray] - ★★★★★ - Happy to watch this again. Amazing British ghost story anthology. So many twists and turns. Martin Freeman and the entire cast were brilliant.
Watched for: Subset film, Theme
12. RETURN TO SALEM'S LOT (1987) ☼ [Amazon streaming] - ★✰✰✰✰ - It was a mistake to watch this right after Salem's Lot (2024), because, by comparison, this was god-awful. Just felt very low-budget and cheesy and really had very little to do with the original Salem's Lot story other than the fact that it was a town inhabited by vampires. None of the characters were the same. I'm shocked that somehow Cohen got permission to use the name of King's work for something like this.
Watched for: Checklist: written by Larry Cohen; a movie in a franchise you've never seen
13. SATANIC HISPANICS (2022) ☼ [Amazon streaming] - ★★★★✰ - I really enjoyed this. Some of the segments were pretty dark, but the vampire one was hilarious and maybe the best thing I've watched this challenge.
Watched for: Checklist: female director, folk horror, language: spanish

OCT 5: TEXTPLOITATION
14. SUPERSTITION (1982) ☼ [dfigital file] ☼ - ★★✰✰✰ - Definitely a cheapie. The acting and production values were sub-par. Overall a forgettable watch.
Watched for: Subset film, Theme
15. TARGETS (1968) [Criterion blui ray] - ★★★★✰ - This is such a brilliant meta piece--about the changes in horror films and society. And, as others have pointed out, a beautiful finale for Boris Karloff. The (now) vintage LA setting is fun and the killer is creepily normal. I wish we'd seen a bit more fallout from the highway shooting, but I suppose that wasn't the point of the film. I enjoyed the look and grainy feel of the Criterion blu ray.
Watched for: Subset film, Theme
16. FATAL GAMES (1984) ☼ [Amazon streaming] ☼ - ★★✰✰✰ - I found all the javelin deaths a little repetitive. Mostly a forgettable 80's slasher. I was annoyed at the transgender stuff. I know it was the 80's, but it's rather offensive now.
Watched for: Subset film, Theme
17. AMISH WITCHES: THE TRUE STORY OF HOLMES COUNTY (2016) ☼ [Amazon streaming] - ★★★✰✰ - Obviously, this is a fake documentary. There is such a thing as Pow-wow (Amish folk medicine) and brujas (practicioners), which could be called witches, though their rituals and charms use God, so they are white witches at most. The "dark force" in this story is fiction. But I enjoyed the scenery in this and found the costumes and homes authentic. If you approach it as a fake, found-footage film, it's not bad.
Watched for: Checklist: Found Footage, fake documentary
17.5. THE REAL AMISH WITCHES (2018) ☼ [Hulu streaming] - ★★★✰✰ - The Real deal. A one-hour documentary about legit Amish brujas. Pretty awesome.
Watched for: Checklist: Documentary

OCT 6: CHRONOLOGICAL
18.5. THE HANDS OF ORLAC (1924) [digital file] - ★★✰✰✰ - Interesting in parts but very, very slow. And the over-acting! Orlac's wife, especially, was comically over the top.
Watched for: Subset film, Theme
19.5. THE QUEEN OF SPADES (1949) [digital file] - ★★★✰✰ - This feels more horror-adjacent than horror, though there were some fun supernatural bits at the end. As solid 40's b&w drama. I enjoyed the Russian gothic scenery, especially the funeral scene.
Watched for: Subset film, Theme
20.5. FRANKENSTEIN AND THE MONSTER FROM HELL (1974) [blu ray] - ★★★✰✰ - One of the better Hammer's, IMHO. Some gnarly mad scientist/medical procedure stuff (how to remove a brain in 3 easy lessons!) and an all-around strong cast. Peter Cushing is commanding, as always.
Watched for: Theme
21.5. eXistenZ (1999) ☼ [digital file] - ★★★★✰ - I liked this a lot more than I expected to. Since I have been a game designer and have worked on large projects, I loved the game meta narrative of this movie, like the reverence for the game designer and how the other characters could only respond if they recognized the prompt. There could have been more of a point to the game--it was really more of a series of weird settings than a real game. But, overall, super fun.

OCT 7: SLASHERS
22.5. SILENT SCREAM (1979) ☼ [digital file] - ★★★✰✰ - This is a pretty decent slasher I've never seen before. It's about four college students who rent rooms in this big, creepy house on the ocean. The digs are pretty sweet but the family who lives there are completely psychotic. Unlike many slashers, this one includes two police detectives who are investigating the first murder, which adds a nice angle.

24.5. LEVIATHAN (1989) ☼ [blu ray] - ★★★✰✰ - Great cast in this Alien/The Thing knock-off, and the underwater aspect adds to a sense of claustrophobia. But it felt kind of by-the-numbers.

28.5. APARTMENT 7A (2024) ☼ [amazon streaming] - ★★★✰✰ - Rosemary's Baby is one of my favorite films, so I was excited about this prequel. I enjoyed the story, but I thought the female lead was very weak. It could have been so much better. Roman and Minnie were good.

34.5. LIFE AFTER BETH (2014) ☼ [ [Amazon streaming] - ★★★✰✰ - A fun twist on the zombie genre. The zombie apocalypse starts with just one dead girl coming back--the main character's dead girlfriend. At first, everyone is thrilled. But she gets weirder and weirder and more dead come back. It was a nice break from some of the darker movies this month and a solid cast.

36. CASE 39 (2009) [Amazon streaming] - ★★★✰✰ - Decent big budget psychological horror movie about a social worker who adopts an abused child only to learn the little girl is evil incarnate. Enjoyable watch. I saw this years ago but remembered very little.

38. THE MANITOU (1989) [Amazon streaming] - ★★★✰✰ - This film is so good in some respects and so awful in others. The manitou, when he appears, is just laughable. Terrible casting for that. But still, a great cast otherwise and a fun 70's throwback.

39.5. DARK WAS THE NIGHT (2014) ☼ [Amazon streaming] - ★★★★✰ - Really enjoyable creature feature in which a small town is attacked by something from the woods. I like the small-town vibe, and the characters were all likeable and relatable. Lucas Haas plays a deputy, and it was fun to see him again.
Watched for: Theme
40.5. A QUIET PLACE: DAY ONE (2024) ☼ [Amazon streaming] - ★★★✰✰ (3.5 stars) - The original alien attack as seen by New Yorkers. I liked the originality of having a hospice cancer patient as the main character. It gives the action a slightly different intensity. Like "I'm dying, but not yet, and not by you mf'ers." The action was decent though the CGI was obvious. Also: award for the chillest cat ever.

42.5. POST MORTEM (2020) ☼ [Amazon streaming] - ★★★✰✰ - I love the idea of a movie about a man who takes photos of the dead in 1911, and the setting of the old Polish village is cool. But the story drags in the middle--a lot. The ending, however, is intense.

50. THE LIVING DEAD GIRL (1982) ☼ [Amazon stream] - ★★✰✰✰ - This is just OK. I'm not a big Jean Rollins fan. There's not a lot of story in this. It's basically a one-note plot - a young woman comes back from the dead and needs human blood. Her bff helps her get victims to survive. The rest is bare skin and set dressing.

50.5. INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE - s02 e05 (2023) ☼ [[Amazon streaming] - ★★★✰✰ - Flashback to Daniel's story. I liked that the series creator added something new to the Anne Rice story, but Daniel's character back then (come to think of it, also now) is so unlikeable and Armand is such a villain here. I prefer the Paris timeline.

Finally -- the real Lestat!

52. BLOOD GAMES (1990) ☼ [digital file] - ★★✰✰✰ - This film has a female director and it's filled with T&A. I dunno. Was she luring in male viewers to show them the worst kind of toxic male energy? I found it kind of a mess. Feels low-budget and repetitive in the plotline--guys attack girls, girls fight back, rinse, repeat..

ROSEMARY'S BABY (2014) - 2 episodes each 1.5 hours long ☼ [Amazon streaming] - ★★★✰✰ - I enjoyed the changes in this version, such as the new setting in Paris and the younger Roman and Minnie. The things that were exactly the same didn't hit as well because they couldn't compare with the original (which I'd just rewatched). An okay remake.
Watched for: Watch a movie and its remake back to back
55.5. INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE - s02 e07 (2023) ☼ [[Amazon streaming] - ★★★✰✰ - The trial of Louis and Claudia and the return of Lestat. The return of Lestat was a little disappointing mainly because you don't really get a reunion between Louis and Lestat. They're on stage, on trial, the whole time. Lestat is great, of course. The trial was a little too sad and we get the death of Claudia. :-( Not an episode I wanna rewatch.

68. BLACK FRIDAY (1940) ☼ [blu ray] - ★★★✰✰ - Decent 40's crime thriller/horror with Lugosi and Karloff. Karloff plays a doctor who transplants a friend's brain with a criminal's brain. Spoiler: it doesn't end well.

71. HAUNTED WEDDING (2024) ☼ [Hallmark] - ★★★✰✰ - WILDCARD/HORROR ADJACENT - Quite an unusual theme for a Halmark romance. Two enthusiastic ghost hunters are getting married, and they choose a haunted hotel for the nuptials. From orbs to saving lost souls to sage burning, someone worked on this who is actually into spiritualism. Pretty cool. Not really horror though.

80. ODDITY (2024) ☼ Amazon] - ★★★★✰ - This film has a wonderfully creepy folk horror vibe with the blind psychic and the homumculus/golem statue.

Joe Bob and Darcy were fun, as always. I really liked the film also. The 70's vibe was spot on and even the theme of exorcism was very 70's. It got pretty dark and unnerving at times.

83. CADDO LAKE (2024) ☼ [Amazon] - ★★✰✰✰- [my second wildcard/horror adjacent film this challenge] This had the potential to be cool. I love the bayou vibe. But the plot and all the various timelines is just confusing and *too* mixed up, like it's trying to hard to be clever. My mother is my sister is my grandmother is my...?? And both lead characters were unlikeable. I normally like Dylan O'Brien, but he was so Eeyore and morose in this. The teen girl lead was a total brat and super unsympathetic.

85. ABIGAIL (2024) ☼ [digital file] - ★★★✰✰ - This was fine as a new horror movie, but I didn't love it. It's billed as a horror comedy, but I didn't find it particularly funny. It seemed to copy Ready Or Not's emphasis on extreme gore (exploding bodies etc) but that fell a little flat for me. I decent first-time watch but not one I'll revisit.

CHECKLIST:

Summary

Total Watches 97 New Watches ** 31

September 30th

1, I Walked with a Zombie (1943) - A classic mood piece that emphasizes mood and settings over horror scares. 9/10. DVD

2. The Wolfman (1941) - Lon Chaney as the wolf man is one of the most perfect castings in history. I still think Oliver Reed is the best wolf man ever, but Lon is a very, very close second. overall, this is one of Universal's best monster films. 8.5/10 Blu Ray

October 1st

3. Saw (2004) - The original is still a great film and a unique concept. Its a near perfect horror film that i have raised my score primarily due to the power of the ending.
10/10, Blu Ray

4. Saw II (2005) - Saw II is an excellent continuation and expansion of the storyline from the first film. A solid sequel. 8/10 Blu Ray

5. Freddies Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991) - The low point of the franchise. The video game sequence is horrendously bad. A full blown comedy that is an insult to the character of Freddie Krueger. To make matters worse, the acting is also terrible. 2/10 Blu Ray

6. American Psycho (2000) - A tour de-force performance by Christian Bale as a psychotic wall street executive. The performance is so good that I find I simultaneously find him funny, like him, despise him and fascinated by him all at the same time. 10/10 Blu Ray

October 2nd

7. The Boxers Omen (1983) - Theres a story embedded in this film somewhere, but its essentially an excuse to have as many bizarre and sometimes disgusting set pieces as possible. The basic story is a man is called upon to avenge his boxer brothers death. Once we get past the first ten minutes of setup the film just dives right into an endless parade of some of the most bizarre scenes ever put to celluloid. 8/10 Blu Ray

8. The Boxers Omen (1983) - Listened to the commentary track by Travis Crawford which was excellent. 10/10

9. The Body Snatcher (1943) - A masterpiece in the horror genre and agruably Karloff's best performance. His icy cool, charming, sinister demeanor chews up every scene. 10/10 dvd

10. All My Friend's are Dead (2020) - I was not into this comedy (i guess it was a comedy) at all. A party gets progressively wilder and wilder leading to mass death. That sounds interesting, but it was not. 2/10 streaming **

11. The Whip and the Body (1963) - A masterpiece of gothic cinema. A love story of sexual perversion and sadism. Daliah Lavi is stunningly beautiful and Chris Lee is at his sadistic best. The lighting in each scene is a masterpiece of detail.10/10 Blu Ray

12, New Nightmare (1994) - Not a great film by any stretch, but a definite step up from the last two comedic entries in the series. I was not a big fan of freddies mask. I thought it looked very cheap. I definitely liked the story. 7/10 Blu ray

October 3rd

13. Saw 3 (2006) - I really like how the third film ties in the storylines from the first two films and expands on it. Great ending that echos back to television shows with cliffhangers.8/10 Blu Ray

14. Saw 4 (2007) - I raised my rating on Saw IV because i think the film is a bit more complex than I first thought. Once again, the series main appeal is continuity-the ability to tie in all the previous films very effectively. The concept of time is emphasized effectively in this film.
7/10 Blu Ray

15. Martin (1977) - Listened to the Kat Ellinger commentary. Martin is a unique film from George Romero. It has a documentary feel with extremely unsettling music that really works. The acting is excellent as well. recommended. 9/10 Blu Ray

16. Spiders Labryinth (1988) - What the hell was this? What felt like a gothic/giallo the first half of the film turns into a wild series of bizarre set pieces in the last half. I am not sure how I feel about this one. I do know I was left kinda wishing we had more explanation/backstory. 6/10 Streaming ***

October 4th

17. Saw V (2008) - Another solid entry in the series. I really enjoy the complexity of the story, the interconnectedness of the previous films and the fact that all the victims are chosen for a reason. These films benefit from rewatches. 7/10 Blu Ray

18. Ghost Stories (2017) - A creepy anthology of stories with a wrap around about a guy trying to debunk paranormal experiences of others. A solid film. 7/10 Shudder ***

19. Salem's Lot (2024) -Practically a blow by blow remake of the original and, as expected, not even close to as good as the original. The only real difference is the cast and the special effects. I think the cast was hands down better in the original and the special effects, while technically maybe better, were not as effective due to CGI. 4/10 Max ***

20. Frankenstein meets the Wolfman (1943) - Comfort food for this monster kid. I grew up with this film. Yes, I know Bela is terrible as the monster, but this is really a continuation of the wolfman story which is done very well 7/10 blu ray

21. In a Violent Nature (2024) - A gruesome, brutal and at times tedious love letter to 80s slasher films. No plot. Just a jason like monster walking around killing people, but done with style. The ending is a bit anti-climactic. 6/10 Shudder

October 5th

22. Saw VI (2009) - The interconnectedness of the storyline from the previous films continues with the added benefit of seeing the victims be from the insurance industry (worse than any cartel in my opinion). 8/10 blue ray

23. Saw 3D (2010) - The formula continues, but I think this film is a bit of a step down in the series as the traps and reason for picking the victims borders on parody. 6/10 Blu Ray

24. Fatal Games (1984) - Formulaic slasher that attempts to cash in on the popularity of Sleepaway camp with its sex change javelin throwing killer, but fails due to a lack of interesting characters (victims). 5/10 Streaming

October 6th

25. The Hands of Orlac(1924) - There has been many interpretations of the Hands of Orlac story, but Conrad Veight's portrayal is still the best. 8/10 Youtube. **

26. Superstition (1982) - A creative supernatural slasher. Well acted with some very effective kills. 7/10 streaming

27. Queen of Spades (1949) - A "sell your soul to the devil" period piece that is pretty dull through various stretches of the film. 5/10

October 7th

28. Existenz (1999) - David Cronenberg's take on video gaming blurs the lines between fantasy and reality with outstanding performances by Jennifer Jason Leigh and Jude Law. Having said that, I just wasn't interested. I thought it was silly and uninteresting.
5/10 streaming ***

29. Speak no Evil (2024) - I was excited to watch this, but quickly realized this is just a piss poor copy cat of the outstanding original Dutch film. I use the term copy cat vs reboot/remake for films like this and the new Salem's Lot because they are blow by blow copies of much better films. The point is economics of course, but why continue to churn out unoriginal films? Is there no creativity left in hollywood? 3.5/10 streaming ***

30. Captain Kronos Vampire Hunter (1974) - A monster kid favorite of mine. The vampire genre had kinda run its course by the mid 1970s, but leave it to hammer to injAnotherect a a bit of freshness to the genre with this film, Vampire Circus and Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires. 7/10 scream factory blu ray

31. I Spit on Your Grave (1978) -A tough, but interesting watch that had alot of significance when released and still has an impact because of the social commentary. Watching again, I couldn't help but notice the rape scenes seem overplayed to the point of parody (if thats possible under the circumstances). I have to reduce my rating on this because the setup for the revenge scenes are based on the men being really gullible and stupid. 7/10 blu ray

October 8th

32. The Greasy Strangler (2016) - An interesting Horror/Comedy idea that is a mixed bag. At times I think the comedy works, but just as many times it does not.6/10 Amazon prime ***

33. Mad Love (1935) - A" Hands of Orlac" adaptation, but unique in that the focus of the story is the physician (Peter Lorre) who transplants Orlac's hands. Lorre is in love with Orlac's wife. Peter Lorre is incredible in this film. Highly recommended. 8/10

34. Jigsaw (2017)-The formula that worked well in the earlier films seems to be running its course at this point with alot of forgettable characters. 6/10. Neflix

October 9th

35. Phantom of the Opera (1943) - Way too much opera for me. 6/10 blu ray

36. I Spit on your Grave (2010) - Rape/revenge flicks are tough watches and this remake of the original 1978 film is no exception. The 2010 version is one of the few remakes that I feel is better than the original predominately because the revenge portion was more realistic and brutal than the orginal which in my opinion was almost cartoonish. 8/10 Blu Ray

37. Beyond Terror (1980) - My second viewing of this film didn't change my opinion. Problem one for me is that there are no characters to empathize with. Most of the characters are leeches on humanity. It is nice to see the crooks get payback, but we don't really care because they are such scumbags. The second problem is that the horror elements take way too long to get going. 6/10

38. The Midnight Meat Train (2008) - A violent, bloody trip into the mind of Clive Barker. A solid horror flick. You don't often get the chance to see Brook Shields and Bradley Cooper in a splatter flick. 7/10 Blu Ray

39. The Hills have Eyes (1977) - A definite horror classic from the 70s. A commentary on the inner animalistic nature of man even as he has become "more civilized". 8/10 Blu Ray

40. The Hills have Eyes (2006) - I think this is a near perfect remake of the orginal and one of the rare exceptions where the remake is better than the original. 9.5/10 blu ray

October 10th

41. The Invisible Man (1933) - A classic and the special effects are amazing to this day. 10/10 Blu Ray

42. The Corruption of Chris Miller (1973) - A complex love triangle with a great payoff ending .7/10 Youtube

43. The Devil (1972) - What the hell was this? 5/10 ****

October 11th

44. The Invisible Man Returns (1940) - Vincent Price gets wrapped in bandages in this sequel to the invisible man. Cedric Hardwicke was excellent as the bad guy and Price was good, not great, as the crazed invisible man. 7/10 Blu Ray

45. The Invisible Woman (1940) - The series takes a comedic turn, but not for the better. 6/10 Blu Ray

46. The Hills have Eyes 2 (2007) -This sequel to the Aja remake of Hills is really just an excuse to have mutant looking monsters kill people, in this case its a national guard group. Siimple plot, but well executed with some really gruesome moments. 7/10 Blu Ray

October 12th

47. My Grandpa is a Vampire (1991) - Al Lewis is great as a vampire. A decent one time watch 6/10 Streaming ***

48. Def by Temptation (1990) - A solid Succubus story with an all black cast. well done. 8/10 streaming

October 13th

49. Maniac Cop (1988) - Maniac cop is a fun 80s slasher film in the vein of Friday the 13th with a different setting of course. The formula is the same and the cop angle works great. 8/10 Blu Ray

50. Maniac Cop 2 (1990) - A solid sequel and I think as good as the original 8/10

51. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) - This film is a classic and it just gets better each time I watch it. All star cast and the interplay between them is outstanding. 10/10

October 14th

52. Psycho Cop (1989) - A low budget copy cat of Maniac cop, but zero plot, forgettable characters and routine kills. 5/10

53. Psycho Cop Returns (1993) - Entertaining and funny follow-up to the first Psycho Cop film. The Vinegar Syndrome Blu Ray is awesome. Recommended. 7/10

54. Predator (1987) - A near perfect action horror flick. 10/10

October 15th

55. The Ring (2002) - A videotape that results in death when watched contains a dark family secret. This US version of the Japanese classic is a decent film that is well acted and pretty much follows the exact plot of the original film. There was a period where every successful foreign horror film got an English made version. I don't really have an issue with it because Ironically enough most I have seen are decent (example Let me in). 7/10 ***

56. Sax X (2023) - Apparently an "intersequel" that picks up the story between parts 1 and 2 and gives significant background on the Jigsaw character. I enjoyed it and thought it was one of the best of the series. 8.5/10 ***

57. Land that Time Forgot (1974) -I remember when this came out as a kid and the advertising was iconic. The special effects were suprisingly effective given the budget. This was Doug McClure's breakout film. 6/10 youtube

58. Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell (1974) - Peter Cushing's final performance as Victor Frankenstein was just awesome. A highly under rated Hammer film. 7/10 Blu Ray

October 16th

59. Maniac Cop 3 Badge of Silence (1992) - The story is mess and the production values look cheaper than 1 and 2, but still the film is an enjoyable watch.6/10 Blu Ray

60. Freddy Vs Jason (2003) - Multiple viewings, but this recent one I definitely noticed how heavy the parody/comedy is in this film. Its kind of a shame this film wasn't made with a more serious horror angle. 6/10

61. Longlegs (2024) - A interesting slow burn that plays more like a police procedural than a horro film for the first hour. The final act was a definite payoff, but, we need more Cage! 7/10 ***

October 17th

62. Invisible Agent (1942) - Typical WWII theme about an Invisible man who infiltrates the Nazis. Everything is very light heared and fun. A decent watch. 6/10

63. The Invisible Man's Revenge (1944) - John Carradine plays a scientist who makes a fugitive invisible so he can get revenge on a corrupt business partner. Decent watch. 6/10 Blu Ray

64. Abbott and Costello meet the Invisible Man (1951) - Standard Bud and Lou antics, but enjoyable. I liked the boxing angle. 7/10

October 18th

65. Girlhouse - This was a solid slasher/stalker flick. The kills were brutal and effective in the style of Halloween. 7/10****

66. Night of the Howling Beast (1975) - Classic Paul Naschy and we do get a Yeti battle at the end. 7/10

October 19th

67. Maxxxine (2024) - A solid film but not quite as good as X or pearl. Mia Goth was excellent. 7/10 ***

68. Blood Games (1990) - A fun, fast paced back woods flick about a battle between a girls baseball team and the slime ball men's team turns deadly. 7/10

October 20th

69. Lisa Frankenstein (2024) - A coming of age teen romance/horror story about a girl in love with a zombie. A good one time watch ruined by two REO speedwagon songs. 5/10 ***

70. Humanist Vampire seeking consenting Suicidal person (2023) - I give the creators of this film an A for coming up with a unique concept in the wll worn vampire genre. 7/10 ***

71. The Boogeyman (2023) - Modern houses with no light switches?? The house is pitch black the entire movie. Pretty silly and dull. The setup had promise, but the execution was bad. 4/10 ***

October 21st

72. Blackout (2023) - Larry Fessenden is a talented guy. He consistently turns out quality low budget independent films that come off bigger and better than their budget should allow. This werewolf story is no exception. It is a well done classic story concept of man's inner struggle with demons. I also greatly appreciate the in camera makeup and effects. 8/10 ****

73. Humanoids from the Deep (1980) - Genetically altered frogs (guys in rubber suits) cause havok on a small fishing town. My kind of horror flick. 8/10

74. Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) - This movie gets way more hate then it deserves. I thought the acting all around was solid, including Jackie Earl Haley. The CGI and Freddies look was not as good as the original and the film is a shamless remake, but I cant trash it just for that. There are some good moments in this film and the callbacks to the original were done well. 6/10

75. I Spit on your Grave 2 (2013) - These films are tough watches and my rating reflects my admiration for the actress that played Katie and the intensity of the film vs a rating based on whether I like it or not. Rape/revenge is a tough genre to watch for me. I feel like I need to take a shower after. 7/10

76. The House with a Clock in its Walls (2018) - A boy goes to live with his warlock uncle played by Jack Black. Not a fan of Jack Black, but he was good in this one. 7/10 **

October 22nd

77. Horrors of Malformed Men (1969) - A strange, dream like experience that really pays off in the final act. I dont want to give away plot points. just watch it. 8/10 ***

78. Syncronic (2019) - An interesting watch that involves a over the counter drug that can cause a person to travel back in time. The acting was solid. 7/10 ***

79. The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945) - There has been at least five adaptations of this story. The 1945 film is good, but extremely talky and flat. Even the ending is anticlimatic. 5/10

October 23rd

80. The Hitcher (1986) - An iconic film that grows in status as the years pass. There are plenty of questionable moments, but no one can deny how great Rutger Hauer was in the film. 9/10

81. Look What's Happened to Rosemary's Baby (1976) - An all star 70s cast star in this TV movie follow up to Rosemary's Baby. The story covers early childhood and as an adult with the focus on the Satan worshipping cult still trying to exert control. Interesting watch.
6/10 ***

82. I Spit on Your Grave # Vengeance is Mine (2015) - I am raising my rating on this follow up to the reboot. I really enjoyed this character study of jennifer and how she tries to cope with the horrible events of the first film. Smartly done with less emphasis on explcit scenes, although there are plenty. 8/10

83. Spiral The Book of Saw (2021) - The Saw franchise takes a slightly new angle with a Jigsaw wannabe eliminating corrupt cops. I shamelessly enjoyed this one. 7/10

84. Immaculate (2024) - An interesting modern take on the "Rosemary's Baby" story. 7/10 ***

October 24th

85. I Spit on your Grave Deja vu (2019) - Horrendous dialogue and acting combined with a ridiculous runtime of 2.5 hours make this film a real endurance test. Id give no rating if possible ***

86. Don't Deliver Us from Evil (1971) - Two young girls gradually progress in their fascination with doing evil deeds. Interesting with a solid ending. 7/10 ***

87. Mute Witness (1995) - A deaf woman witnesses a murder and is then pursued by a Russian mob. Great setup and I enjoyed the first half of the film, but the third act is silly and becomes a parody. 6/10

October 25th

88. The Vampire (1957) - Moody, atmospheric, but also stagy and stiff. A decent one time watch. 6/10

89. The Vampire's Coffin (1958) - A tepid sequel to The Vampire. 5/10

90. The Nude Vampire (1970) - Only Jean Rollin and Jess Franco can create the dream like imagery seen in their films. Definitely a film you have to pay attention. 7/10

91. Hostel (2005) - Gruesome, but a great film 8/10

92. THe New Kids (1985) - I cant believe I never saw this until now. James Spader was a great asshole . 7/10 ***

93. The Mothman Prophecies (2002) -I really enjoyed this film and Gere's performance as a reporter who startes hearing "visions" after the traumatic loss of his wife. Interesting film. 7/10

October 29th

94. Nightwatch (1994) - A decent watch, but a bit long on run time. 6/10

95. The Hand (1981) - Probably one of Oliver Stone's weakest films. 5/10

October 30th

96. HauntedWeen (1991) - I enjoy low budget films and I admire the effort here, but unfortunately the film painfully drags with the lack of a real story and the "payoff" kills are terrible. 2/10

97. Oddity (2024) - A slow burn story filed with many creepy moments. 7/10 ***
