| Posted: | | | | With Halloween being my all-time favorite holiday... I like to celebrate it all month long. So every year at this time I have a month long horror / Halloween marathon. Every year I try to beat my record of most horror movies, horror or Halloween episode TV Series and now Other (Shorts/Documentaries). The best I ever done was 2 years ago when I watched 100 Horror Movies, 45 TV Show Episodes & 2 Other. The only thing I was able to do last year due to circumstances beyond my control was to watch 4 Other. Will I be able to beat my best record... I really don't know. To be honest I will be surprised if I do. But that is ok... as I plan to give it my all whether it is a win, loose or a draw! And no matter what happens I am going to have a great time!This year I will be doing it a little different though. This year each day I will have some sort of theme for that day's viewing. Though... some will be a bit loose like Unwatched DVDs... where I can watch any dvd that I haven't watched yet since getting it. Or I may have an Anything Goes day... but I plan on keeping those days limited. Most days I will have some sort of limited theme such as... Vampires, Werewolves, Ghost, Vincent Price, Lon Chaney, Jr. or Universal Classics.My Goal:Movies: 101 TV Eps. 46 Other: 5 It is too late, my blood is in your veins.So is Mine! | | | Pete |

| Posted: | | | | "The Phantom" if it is from 1999 with Billy Zane or the one from 2010 with Ryan Carnes, they are actually movies based on the action comic book hero "The Phantom" AKA "The Ghost Who Walks" so not really a horror movie.

| Posted: | | | | Nope... not either one of them. It is a classic movie that from the title card I believe is a horror (in a horror collection)... It is part of a boxset I have... a 100 Horror Movie Collection. | | | Pete |

| Posted: | | | | I'll be joining you in watching horror movies again. I know I won't get nearly as many watched as you will, Pete, but hey, more horror = more fun! | | | If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. -- Thorin Oakenshield |

| Posted: | | | | WARNING THE MOST SCARY FILM EVER!! Spoiler: (Select to view) |
| Registered: May 26, 2007 | Reputation: | Posts: 2,878 |
| Posted: | | | | Here is my list of films that I want to watch in October - I likely won't be able get to all of them, but this is the list I'm going to try to pick from:
- 1408 - The Bat - The Birds - Carnival of Souls - Cat People (1942) - Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954) - Curse of Frankenstein - Dead Ringers - Eyes Without a Face - Flesh for Frankenstein - Horror Express - Horror of Dracula - Incubus (1965) - Jigoku - Kwaidan (1964) - The Masque of the Red Death (1964) - Onibaba - The Orphanage - Paranormal Activity - Psycho (1960) - Tales of Terror - Vampyr - The Wolf Man (1941) - Wolfman (2010)
I know some of these are more suspense/thriller with horror as a secondary genre, but my mom wanted to include mysteries this month, so I think it's a good compromise. I am going to start with Carnival of Souls on Saturday, and Kwaidan on Sunday, but if anyone wants to suggest what of the list above to watch after that, all of them will be new to me. (I can't start tomorrow, because I have tickets for the orchestra.)
Since it's October, we will also watch, at some point: - Coraline - Corpse Bride - It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown - The Nightmare Before Christmas
I might also try to watch some of the Haunted Histories collections I have or the Unsolved Mysteries: Ghosts set, especially if I have only a short time to watch something.
Also, I have more horror in my collection, so if anyone wants to take a peek at my (admittedly long!) owned list and suggest something, feel free. :D | | | If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. -- Thorin Oakenshield |

| Posted: | | | | Title: Trick 'r TreatYear: 2008 Director: Michael Dougherty Rating: R Length: 82 Min. Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 2.35:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 5.1, French: Dolby Digital: 5.1, Spanish: Dolby Digital: 5.1 Subtitles: English, French, Spanish Stars:Dylan Baker Rochelle Aytes Quinn Lord Lauren Lee Smith Moneca Delain Tahmoh Penikett Plot:A creepy, darkly comic celebration of the scariest night of the year from producer BRYAN SINGER (director of X-Men and Superman Returns) and writer-director MICHAEL DOUGHERTY (co-scripter of X2 and Superman Returns ). Trick 'R Treat takes the Creepshow/Tales from the Crypt approach to nefarious new depths with four interwoven tales set on Halloween night: a high school principal (DYLAN BAKER) moonlights as a vicious serial killer; the quest of a young virgin (ANNA PAQUIN) for that special someone takes a gruesome turn; a group of teens carries out a cruel prank with disastrous consequences; and a cantankerous old man (BRIAN COX) battles a mischievous trick-or-treating demon. Extras:Scene Access Bonus Trailers Animated Short: Season's Greetings with Optional Commentary My Thoughts: This is one of the ones I was really looking forward to seeing... as I always loved anthology horrors. While it is technically an anthology horror... it isn't the way I know anthologies at least. Instead of having 3 or 4 separate short stories along with a wraparound storyline... this one is done more like a regular movie with all the stories intertwined with each other. While not bad... I prefer the traditional format of an anthology. Now with that said... I did enjoy all the stories in it... even though I did have some of the stories figured out ahead of time. I liked the one with the girls finding dates. That storyline has Anna Paquin in it... who I find adorable. I have enjoyed her since I first saw her as Sookie in True Blood. I normally don't go for blondes... but in the case of Anna Paquin I think she looks better as a blonde. Over all I enjoyed it quite a bit. Think it was a good start to my marathon.

Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 1.85:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 5.1, Spanish: Dolby Digital: 5.1, French: Dolby Digital: 5.1, Audio Descriptive: Dolby Digital: 5.1 Subtitles: English, French, Spanish Stars:Simon Merrells Cemma Whelan Emily Blunt Benicio Del Toro Mario Marin-Borquez Asa Butterfield Plot:Academy Award® winners Anthony Hopkins* (The Silence of the Lambs) and Benicio Del Toro** (Traffic) tear up the screen in this action-packed thriller. Lawrence Talbot (Del Toro) is lured back to his family estate to investigate the savage murder of his brother by a bloodthirsty beast. There, Talbot must confront his childhood demons, his estranged father (Hopkins), his brother's grieving fiancée (Emily Blunt, The Devil Wears Prada) and a suspicious Scotland Yard Inspector (Hugo Weaving, The Matrix Trilogy). When Talbot is bitten by the creature, he becomes eternally cursed and soon discovers a fate far worse than death. Inspired by the classic Universal film that launched a legacy of horror, The Wolfman brings the myth of a cursed man back to its iconic origins. *1991 Best Actor, The Silence of the Lambs **2000 Best Supporting Actor, Traffic Extras:Scene Access Bonus Trailers Deleted Scenes My Thoughts: The 1941 Wolf Man has always been one of my classic horror movies. So when I first found out they were remaking it I felt a mixture of excitement and apprehension. I always though the trick to a good remake was to change enough to give us a new take on the story... but at the same time make it similar enough to do the original version justice. Which can be very hard to get the right balance. In the case of The Wolf Man I think they did a pretty good job at achieving this balance. Even though there was some things changed in the story that I didn't care for... but there were some things that I also did care for as well. One thing I am thrilled about is they kept the classic look of the Wolf Man. Over-all I enjoyed it quite a bit and glad I finally have it in my collection. My Rating: 4/5 Count: Movie Count: 2 TV Ep.

When a scientist on the run from the CIA manages to smuggle a contaminated body onto a commercial overseas flight, the plane becomes an incubator for a quickly growing army of the undead. With a zombie invasion spreading through the cabin, only a handful of passengers remains to fight off their fellow travelers and land the plane before it's too late. Extras:Scene Access Audio Commentary Bonus Trailers Outtakes/Bloopers DVD-ROM Content Closed Captioned My Thoughts: Even when I decided to get this one... I knew it would be one that I couldn't expect much from. So I went into this with very low expectations. And I think it was a pretty good idea I went into it with such low expectations. This is not what I would call a good movie. I was able to enjoy some scenes... but over-all I found it to be a bit lackluster. It really took quite a bit of time to get going. And most of the characters I just couldn't get myself to care about. Also... while I can't put my finger on it... the zombies felt a little off to me. But once this movie got going it had some decent zombie action/gore. But over all it is just an average zombie flick. I can see myself watching it again... but not as often as some in my collection.

Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 2.40:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 5.1, French: Dolby Digital: 5.1 Subtitles: English, French, Spanish Stars:Anna Paquin Lena Olin Iain Glen Giancarlo Giannini Fele Martínez Stephan Enquist Plot:This extended unrated version of the hit thriller Darkness teams award winner Anna Paquin (X-Men ) with Lena Olin (Hollywood Homicide, Chocolat) and Iain Glen (Resident Evil: Apocalypse, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider) as a family whose life forever changes when they move into a new home with an ancient secret! Not long after Regina (Paquin) begins living in her family's remote country estate, she learns that there's something horribly disturbing about the old place. Even as her parents dismiss her concerns, strange things begin to happen whenever the lights go out. Soon Regina realizes that a series of escalating supernatural events will unleash the full evil that resides in their house...and once it's released you'll experience it like never before in this scarier, more shocking unrated version! Extras:Scene Access Feature Trailers Bonus Trailers Featurettes Closed Captioned My Thoughts: While looking through my unwatched DVDs... I spotted this movie. Another one I never seen with the adorable Anna Paquin (Sookie on True Blood). This one also has another familiar face with Lena Olin who was in a good handful of episodes of Alias. This one tries hard to make a good atmospheric movie... unfortunately it fell short for me. While not a terrible movie as it does have it's moments... I found myself watching the clock almost as much as I was watching the movie. My Rating: 2.5/5 Count: Movie Count: 4 TV Ep.

| Posted: | | | | Well... that is the last one for me today. I am rather disappointed in myself. I was hoping that I would get several more watched the first day. But unfortunately real life got in the way of all my fun today. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. | | | Pete |
