31 Days of Horror 4 |OT| The October Movie Marathon

Are we allowed to start early? I watched Nightmare 4 yesterday as sort of a warmup but I won't include it on my list.

It would be better if you didn't. That would kind of defeat the purpose of the whole 31 days thing. It's not the end of the world if you do though.

Sleepaway Camp has that delicate balance of ineptitude and inspiration that makes it perfect as it is despite (and because of) being riddled with flaws. If it were any better or worse than it is, it would suck.

The funny thing with Sleepaway Camp is that the acting is pretty bad. But, real kids like that, so it was perfect in that sense. Except for the aunt.

My favorite is still Sleepaway Camp 2. Really good Parody Slasher.
 
The best parts of sleepaway camp are when they throw in useless scenes just to pad run time. Love that baseball game where the kids are just mocking and cursing at each other.
 
I'm not counting this towards my 31 Days, but I did see Bram Stoker's Dracula before it expires on Netflix on the 1st. To my knowledge, it's more faithful to the original novel (which I've never read) compared to Bela Lugosi's movie. I do love how they use shadows, expand on Dracula's powers more, and the atmosphere of Transylvania. Also, being used to Lugosi's movie, which is almost an hour shorter, this movie does feel like it runs long, even though the pacing is still good. Also, I like how Dracula is given an origin, which makes me wonder if Castlevania was inspired by that, or if it was in the original novel. I do recommend it for vampire and Dracula fans.

I've always wanted to check out the special edition of Coppola's Dracula just to hear the commentary. I heard that he's very upfront about some of the casting choices and regrets casting Keanu.

It's a good vampire film held up by Gary Oldman and incredible oldschool effects. Coppola was very much inspired by Mario Bava when it came to the effects work.

The origin story was something that was made especially for that adaptation, as it incorporates some of the details of Vlad Tepes' own exploits. In the original novel, Dracula himself remains very mysterious throughout and is treated as something that's more elemental than flesh and blood.
 
So we are on the eve of 31 Days of Horror. Time to have some fun. I'll be watching some other movies with family but this stack is what I plan to watch/rewatch.....i may change it up a bit. I always start off with House of 1000....i love it so fuck off.

I don't think anyone is going to be concerned with your choice of House of 1,000 Corpses when you have that much Lucifer Valentine and Guinea Pig in your list.

It's cause horror snobs shit on House of 1000. The GP flicks aren't even that good. The only one that's worth watching is Mermaid. I rewatch them every year so that's why they are on the list. Lol the LV flicks are just fun.

No one should shit on it. It's a good, fun movie. You're going to hell for the rest of that list, though. I don't know if I could bring myself to buy a copy of the Vomit Gore trilogy.

Looking forward to an unaware poster to search for Regoregitated, though. Heads up, it's nsfw as fuck.
 
I liked 1000 corpses, only thing that bugged me was the stupid scene transitions with random footage and colorful negative views for no reason. Reminded me of House of the Dead where they had random scenes from the video game between scenes. It felt really amateur hour and brought down the film to me.

Sleepaway Camp 2 is so freaking hilarious. Easily my favorite of the series.

Hah, a movie left on my Netflix queue from last year, when I didn't have time to get to it, just showed up: Critters 2. Guess I know what I'm starting with this year.
 
I'm kicking things off early tonight with the Hawk's The Thing From Another World (doing a rewatch of Carpenter's next week), and then jump in to the 78 Invasion of the Body Snatchers since I just watched the original on sunday.

Oh man, that's one I used to watch all the time when I was a kid. I loved it.

I didn't see Critters 1 until much, much later as an adult and even though it's probably the better movie, it just makes me want to watch Critters 2 again.

The Hungry Heifer song will stay with you for the rest of your life.

At the Hungry Heifer we won't give you a bum steer!
 
I started a bit early due to expiration dates on movies I wanted to see. Trying to bang this list out as fast as I can since I won't be free to watch stuff the last few days before Halloween.

Is anyone going to see Annabelle this weekend? I'm curious. I'd like to kick off October with a horror movie, and I love going to the theater for movies, but I never saw The Conjuring and I doubt I'd have time to see it before the weekend.

I guess early screenings are tonight in some cities, so I'm curious to see what the word on the street is after tonight.

I'm planning to see it on Saturday, assuming initial impressions aren't completely down on it.

I think the Vomit Gore movies may be my personal favorite. Ive seen them way to many times.

Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer part 2. Not as bad as you'd expect but not great either. The replacement Henry is pretty decent but it's basically a retread of the 1st film but with some changes here and there. Has some really bad staging when it comes to fist fights. Not really enjoyable as a slasher because it's played so seriously and comes eerily close to the intentional awkwardness of the 1st film. Worth watching for the curious but can be skipped.

So many VHS tapes. Brings a tear to my eye. If you're not watching horror on VHS, you're doing it wrong.
 
Way too stressed this month so will be cheating with a bunch of shorts.

Absolutely stunning stop-motion. Watch your back, Švankmajer; there's a new contestant in town. 3/3

(Short) Very lovely adaptation of the classic short story. 3/3

Watched a few horror flicks with the girlfriend last week. Still not going to count them toward my 31. I'd love to start one at midnight but id be asleep in no time. So, some brewskis and Rosemary's Baby tomorrow after work it is.

Best of luck, Gentlemen!

UFO pumpkin is good. I'll miss summer brews once my Hell or High Watermelon runs out, though.


I was browsing horror movies on Netflix when I found something that made me legitimately freak out. Blood Gnome is on Netflix.

ugcCotq.jpg


My best friend and I used to get really blazed and hit up the 24-hour grocery store that was a few minutes away from my house. They had a surprisingly extensive selection of budget DVDs, and we'd always spend a little time laughing at all the garbage we could find. One day I saw the glorious cover of Blood Gnome with a $2.99 sticker on it. I bought it, but didn't really plan on actually watching it. My buddy had to take off earlier than usual, so I was left with a few hours to kill in the middle of the night. Decided to watch this glorious piece of crap. It's astounding. The acting is terrible. The monsters are really awful puppets. The final monster is
a giant vagina that the director says was actually a friend's art sculpture that he repurposed for the film.
The thing that makes it so great is how serious everyone seems to be taking it. This isn't tongue-in-cheek. No one seems to be hamming it up for laughs or winking at the audience. They were going for a serious movie about little goblins that attack people engaging in BDSM.

I lost my copy in a move when I was 20. I had forgotten about it for years until I just saw it on Netflix. So excited now.

Nice list, Kees.


Side note: With the Halloween movies is it really necessary to start with the first one? I've only ever seen the Rob Zombie remake.

Yeah. 1-2 + 4-6 all follow each other.

H20 and Res follow 1-2, ignoring the others.

#3 is its own thing so you can watch that whenever.

My number one is The Exorcist! Should be in about 13 hours.

Followed by the two sequels. (Cant be bothered by Dominion/the Beginning)
I have seen the original many many times, but never seen Heretic and 3.
