Although it's not a movie, the 2nd episode of season 1 of Tales from the Crypt is Xmas themed. I watched it last year and enjoyed it quite a bit. The actor who plays the bad guy in Darkman plays a wonderfully deranged Santa. It was good dumb fun.
I'm still putting my list together for this year. Hopefully I'll be able to do 31, but it's always a challenge with work and a toddler at home.
Can someone recommend some good home invasion or home imprisonment-type films? Things like Don't Breathe, 10 Cloverfield Lane, The Purge, and other movies in that vein.

Crashing this plane... with no survivors!
I ended up watched 36 movies last year, which included some rewatches.
I just picked up some giant monster movies because my friend loves that kind of stuff. Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, It Came From Beneath The Sea, Them!, and the grand-daddy of them all, The Giant Claw. Other than that, I have a very diverse list.

3rd year for spooky movies! My main theme is slashers. I've seen a number already, but those were subversions and deconstructions (Cabin in the Woods, Tucker & Dale vs. Evil, the Scream movies). Now I'm going for the classics. Also, an alphabetical list of movies beginning with "The".

Cheers! I'll see about adding some of these to my watchlist! Is You're Next still on US Netflix? I'm in Japan now and as everyone knows they've been cracking down on VPNs.

This is going to be James Rolfe's last year of Monster Madness, so I'm looking forward to that.
Finally! This will be my first "31 Days of Horror". I'm so excited!
I'll break my list in three categories.
I'll watch a "Classic" (which I consider movies made before 1970), then a "Goldie" (from what is the golden age of horror to me: 1970-1989) and then a "Modern" (movies made after 1990). I'll go through this ritual until the end of the month.
Other mandatory thing for me will be to watch movies that I've never seen before. I think it will be a really fun marathon.

I highly recommend everyone keep a link to their letterboxd account with your posts. Would be nice to establish relationships that way and helps to expose everyone to films you'd have otherwise not known existed.

I did 62 movies last year, I keep beating my previous viewing record each year.... don't know if I can beat 62 though.....
sweeny todd isn't horror though
I'm going to subscribe to this thread. I loved horror movies since I was a kid. Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, Night of the Living Dead. I actually watched the latest Paranormal Activity movie this weekend on Netflix. Can't be sure if I will be able to watch 31 movies, but I can get a recommendation of horror flicks that I have not seen.
I would recommended High Tension to everyone. Great movie, and a must see.
Good luck to you all.

Excellent! Thanks guys! I love gory stuff so I'll have to check out Inside for sure.
Here's mine: https://letterboxd.com/BioHazard/
I'll probably just do my impressions on here, don't really write reviews on LB
Its got a Halloween theme of sorts though I haven't watched the whole thing.
Which reminds me, I should do a kids cartoon somewhere in my list like Charlie Brown or something instead of all gore and guts. Dammit, I meant to include Goonies which isn't horror or Halloween necessarily but seemed like a good fit. Oh well, maybe some bonus flicks

It's a gothic musical about a barber that slits people's throats and bakes them into pies that are then sold and consumed by the people of the city...I'd say it counts lol.
so that's what this thread is going to be like huh

I have no clue if I'll be able to get through the whole list, but I figured I'd go ahead and make a tentative list for this. I figured I'd take this as an opportunity to try and finally take the chance to check out some films that I've heard about for years or had only seen small parts of before.
I'm actually taking a Horror Film class this semester, so the three bolded films are actually scheduled for class sessions in October and I'll be seeing them on the big screen. The italicized entries are films I've already seen in their entirety before.
1.The Last Man on Earth (1964)
2. Carrie (1976)
3. Suspiria (1977)
4. Halloween (1978)
5. The Phantom Carriage (1921)
6. Bride of Frankenstein (1935)
7. Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959)
8. Vampyr (1932)
9. M (1931)
10. Eyes Without a Face (1960)
11. Repulsion (1965)
12. The Masque of the Red Death (1964)
13. Hour of the Wolf (1968)
14. Carnival of Souls (1962)
15. Hush (2016)
16. Alien (1979)
17. The Invisible Man (1933)
18. The Mummy (1932) (though last time I saw it was when I was 6 or 7)
19. Haxan (1922)
20. Nosferatu (1922)
21. Dont Look Now (1973)
22. Freaks (1932)
23. Lost Highway (1997)
24. Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992)
25. Inland Empire (2006)
26. Les Diaboliques (1955)
27. They Live (1988)
28. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920)
29. Dead Ringers (1988)

Really? Damn, didn't know this would be his last.
He said might still do it again in some shape or form somewhere down the line, but that this will be the last year he does 31 reviews (or anything close to that much).

I'm really excited for this. I watch a ton of horror movies every year in October and this is my first year as a non-lurker on Gaf so can't wait to participate.
I've already seen the two required viewings, but I'll post my thoughts on them come Oct.
I hope I can be depraved enough to watch 31 flicks, but it's probably going to be closer to half that as weekends are my only available times.

I pretty much watch horror all year round 365... So my October list this year is going to be mostly a handful of picks I really want to watch then I'll just choose the others randomly based on my mood. I tried the 31 challenge last year and threw in the towel early cause I watched disappointment after disappointment so it became a chore.
Only ones I am positive on so far are:
Halloween (original)
Halloween 2 (original)
Halloween 3
Trick R Treat
Tales of Halloween
Now I just need to come up with a good variety to mix things up.

Hell yes. I've done this by myself for about a decade. I got my roommates and some friends into in it college, they all really liked it and after the first year they asked before October rolled around if I was doing it again.
I'll gladly participate in this thread, looking forward to see what other people watch.
Edit-
Shudder is a Netflix type service that is strictly horror movies, only 4.99 a month.
Some that I'll definitely be watching,
Evil Dead 2
The Innkeepers
Deep Red
Tenebre
City of the Living Dead
The House by the Cemetery
Zombi
The Beyond
Trick r' Treat
We Are Still Here
Planet of the Vampires
Bram Stoker's Dracula
Gonna try to find some films I've never seen before, I'm a huge horror hound and it gets more difficult as time goes by to find gems. Thankfully the horror genre has seen a resurgence with some great new directors and new takes on the usual tropes.
I would highly recommend that people check out Lucio Fulci if you aren't already familiar with his films, a true master of the trade.

Arguably the WORST zombie scenario ever conceived.
Worst as in, "oh shit there's no escaping/surviving this..."
LOVE that movie, can be argued that at its core it's a comedy. Great film. Showed it to some friends at college October 2014 and they absolutely loved it.
It's genuinely funny, but man, that movie gets D A R K when you least expect it. It's downright harrowing by the finale.
