I haven't had the chance to pick up Hostel 2 yet. As for the Hamiltons.... I hope you enjoyed it more then I did... that one probably won't make it into my marathon this year.

I paid 9.99 for Hostell II (9.98 too much IMO) but to each their own, glad to see you gave Silver Bullet a 4/5

It was okay, a fairly original spin on the Vampire genre... problem is it more or less has been done to death now (pardon the pun!)

I only paid £3.99 for it (roughly $8) + I didn't think it was too bad... in some ways I preferred it to the first Hostel.
I've never seen Silver Bullet, but I might give it a go after both your recommendations.

Welp, this sounded like a great idea so I'm right there with ya.  :-)

I work crazy hours so I'll probably be stuck to one film a night though... Sad.

So far I've gone through:

Oct 1 - An American Werewolf in Londo
Oct 2 - House of the Dead
Oct 3 - Maximum Overdrive and House of Wax (1953)

I watched The Shining - the original - for the first time a few nights ago.  Does that count as a horror/Halloween movie?
