[Joe Molotov]

Yep, lot of good Hammer in there, and a Val Lewton mini-marathon on the 29th.

[Mandark]

Anything in there particularly recommended?  For those of us who aren't horror geeks, that is.

[Human Snorenado]

Fuck all that, I'm watching Ernest Scared Stupid.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

I find the horror genre to be the dumbest in all of cinematic history and would usually rather pound my balls with a hammer than watch your average horror flick

Monday, October 17  
08:30PM – HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL (1959)  Campy and enjoyable vincent price film.  
10:00PM – THE TINGLER (1959) Campy and enjoyable vincent price film
01:15AM – CURSE OF THE DEMON (1958) - Based on an excellent MR James story but not as good unfortunately.  Satisfying ending though.

04:00PM – THE MUMMY (1959)  <-- I loathe this movie.
05:30PM – THE CURSE OF THE MUMMY'S TOMB (1964)
07:00PM – VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED (1960)  <-- worth a watch, I think, but not crucial viewing
08:30PM – NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (1968)
10:15PM – A Night at the Movies: The Horrors of Stephen King (2011)
11:15PM – THE INNOCENTS (1961)  <-- damn good ghost movie.
01:00AM – THE HAUNTING (1963)  <--my absolute FAVORITE haunted house film.  
03:00AM – REPULSION (1965) <-- best polanski film, i think.

I did find Session 9 mildly spooky and would love recommendations for mildly similar stuff.

what did you like about it?  the psychological elements, the setting?

TCM wins. I got one of those hokey DVD boxsets of horror. It does have a lot of old classics, but I'm sure TCM has better copies of the films.

Y'all should watch Carnival of Souls and Repulsion.

[Great Rumbler]

The Thing is one of my go-to Halloween movies. I'll definitely fit that in, maybe Alien and some Slither as well.

[Diunx]

For some reason for the last couple of years I have been doing a Bond marathon instead of a horror one each October.

I remember some dude on GAF who made a thread asking people to vote for it in an online poll and he said it was because he wrote it or something.  I voted for it because it sounded awesome.

Why is The People Under The Stairs considered a horror movie? It's more like The Goonies...

[fistfulofmetal]

going to watch [REC] and [REC]² this weekend

then next weekend i'm gonna watch The Descent and Alien

[Mupepe]

I'm gonna see The Exorcist in theaters Saturday.  I was supposed to go Sunday but I got busy.  Should be pretty fucking sweet to see it on the big screen.

[Enl]

I've been cramming this month with a bunch of shitty horror. Tonight I'm going to do Hellraiser "Only Made to Retain the Rights" 9 and Howling "I Was Inspired By a Twilight Werewolf" Reboot tonight!   

EDIT: Wow, what kind of world do we live in where a modern Howling sequel is far better than a Hellraiser sequel? As much as Hellraiser 9 tries to go back to the formula of the first film it is probably the worst of the franchise (right below Hellworld).  Acting is horrendously bad all the way through along with the editng and cheap, shakey camera work. The new Pinhead always has this bulldog angry look on his face and on top of that the character is portrayed nothing like what he's supposed to be. At least some of the make up effects were good, and they better damn well should considering how long Gary Tunnicliffe has worked on the series. Watch only if you're morbidly curious, otherwise avoid.

[chronovore]

I'm going to watch The Descent soon, and finally check out 28 Weeks Later. Probably grab some tasty j-horror as well; I love the slow-burn suspense.

[fistfulofmetal]

I know a lot of people hate on 28 Weeks Later, but I really enjoyed it. It's a frantic and exhausting movie was well.

[chronovore]

yesterday I watched two horror films.

The Eye of the Cat which is really a caper film, but is quite well done. A rich old woman is dying.  A conniving manipulative young woman finds her estranged son and convinces him to move back to her mansion to become the sole heir of her fortune (a fortune she had previously willed to her collection of cats) .  The son has competition from a brother who has never left, staying to take care of their mother.  The young woman wants the estranged son to kill the mother and get the money faster which seems like a good idea at the time...

The Seventh Victim is a Val Lewton picture.  It's about a girl whose sister goes missing.  She travels to 1930s Lower East Side Manhattan to search for her, where she discovers she may have fallen into a cult of devil worshipers.  Some very very nice touches with this one. A good chase scene and a few really well done reveals.

[Joe Molotov]

Last night, I thought I'd kick things off with the camptastic Trog, a tender love-story between Joan Crawford and a murdering apeman.



When Trog is discovered in a nearby cave, Joan Crawford is on the scene as apparently the only scientist in all of England. She believes that Trog is the missing link, but Evil Rich White Guy doesn't much cotton to her outrageous crackpot theories, like Evolution and women not being in the kitchen. So when he can't get the town council (the ultimate law in the land when dealing with earth-shattering scientific discoveries) to kill Trog, he breaks into lab and turns Trog loose. This leads to a showdown between the police and Trog, where we learn who the real savage monster is.

It was Trog. And crazy women scientists not knowing their place.

I am currently watching Dark Waters an italian film shot in english filmed in russia.  it is fucked the fuck up.

A woman whose on other acting credit appears to be a bit part in Interview With The Vampire goes to a secluded coveneant to track down her sister.  She uh, fuck i don't even know how to describe this.  blood cults, flagellate nuns, huge latex demons, fucking crazed catholic imagery, holy symbols, six breasted whores of babylon tearing the wombs from virginal nuns to bring their blood god to this plane of existence, girls eating blood.  you can buy the DVD super cheap from Amazon or you can queue it up in Netflix.  It's fucking great.  Low budget, yes, but still very awesome.  If you like Dario Argento, then you will probably love the all out assault on your senses with this.  Also, the more tuned to catholic imaging you are, the more you will appreciate this, I think.

[Eric P]

goddamn i love the internet.

Just watched Sydney Lumet's 1972 film "Child's Play" which was never released on video in America.  It's kind of sort of a horror film but not really.  It's based on a play which was written by Robert Marasco (also known for poetic haunted house novel Burnt Offerings). 

From the NYT review of the film
http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=940CE4DA1631E63BBC4B52DFB4678389669EDE

Something is fearfully wrong at St. Charles, a Roman Catholic boarding school for boys, probably not too far from New York. It isn't just a breakdown in discipline, which, after all, is happening everywhere. Although one hesitates to say it in this day and age, the boys are—well possessed.

They make obscene phone calls to the dying old mother of one of their masters. Class rooms have become cages. Violence erupts so regularly that the teachers are cautioned never to leave their students unattended. In what appears to be a ceremony of penitence, one boy allows his eye to be gouged out in the gym. Another is beaten and hung up on the cross in the chapel.

The headmaster, whose patience has its limits, threatens to close the school. Mr. Dobbs (Robert Preston), the genial old English teacher, says in effect, that boys will be boys. Mr. Malley (James Mason), the Latin teacher, and a stern disciplinarian as well as an obvious paranoid, accuses Dobbs of trying to have him, Malley, dismissed. "Devil! Devil!" cries Malley, rapidly becoming unhinged.

It's not a great film, but it is pretty well acted and does kind of tap into that whole "what the hell is happening to our children?" theme that is evident in a lot of early 70s cinema.  The violence is kind of brutal for the rest of them film, but the movie's ending does kind of lack.  I'd like to read the original play to see how it stacks up, but this was worth the time, I feel.

This sounds pretty awesome

[Eric P]

it's not awesome.  it is interesting though.  the ending, as i said, is kind of weak (also noted in the review), but since it's based on a play, there's lots of standing around and talking.

[Mupepe]

The idea sounds awesome.  Is it just some flawed execution?  Should at least be worth the watch.  I'm a concept over execution guy anyways

[Himu]

let's have a horror movie marathon this weekend, mups

[Mupepe]

I have been pretty much every weekend in October!  It's making Diana crazy

This weekend I'll be going camping though so probably not

[Eric P]

The idea sounds awesome.  Is it just some flawed execution?  Should at least be worth the watch.  I'm a concept over execution guy anyways

yeah it's just not very subtle.  Good concept, good writing, but the film just falls apart in the latter parts.  certainly worth a watch though.

[D3RANG3D]

I watched 4 movies the last couple of days... I will sum em up with emotes.

Hellraiser 9 

Paranormal Activity 2 

Xtro 

Leprechaun in the Hood 

[Mupepe]

Leprechaun in the Hood is pure fucking gold. 

[HyperZoneWasAwesome]

Ice-T is so damn good in that.

[D3RANG3D]

Leprechaun in the Hood is pure fucking gold. 

You should watch Rumplestiltskin, case in point.

[Mupepe]

holy fuck

 

[Eric P]

Maniac Cop-  More of a Gaillo / Thriller than a legit horror film.  Someone dressed as a cop is killing innocent citizens and it's up to the accused Bruce Campbell to clear his name and stop the maniac cop before he strikes again.  It's pretty good.  Features a sleazy 80s NY and sleazy NYPD.  Horrible effects works, mediocre acting, but an ok script which actually manages to keep the film going without falling apart too much if you go back to think about it in more detail.

Worth a watch!

[Great Rumbler]

Oh snap, Maniac Cop has Robert Z'Dar in it. I'll have to watch it now.

[Joe Molotov]

To make up for the sadness of Piranha 3DD getting delayed, I watched...



So what if the piranhas where just rubber fish that off-screen production assistants flapped at the actors, this movie is still a gas.

"Piranhas."

"Shhh...I told you not to even use that word! What about the damned piranhas?"

"They're eating the guests, sir."



"Terror, horror, death. Film at eleven."

[HyperZoneWasAwesome]

I'm a day late, but I have to chime in on my LOVE of the Maniac Cop franchise.  Part one being a solid slasher, parts 2 and 3 (part 2 especially) being chock full of crazy ass stunts and satire of scuzzy New York.

I just luvs em.

[Eric P]

watched Dressed to Kill last night.  Lots of sex you could never get away with today.  I enjoyed it even if it did rely heavily on Hitchcock and Clouzot for some sequences.  It was still entertaining and worth watching if for nothing more than an artifact of films they don't really make anymore.  Even the 90s "sexy" thrillers are tame in comparison.

Island of Lost Souls, thank you Criterion for making an EXCELLENT transfer of this film.  This was the first time I could really notice a lot of the details of the makeup and subtleties in Bela Lugosi's Sayer of the Law.  Excellent adaptation of an excellent book.

[Great Rumbler]

(Image removed from quote.)

Okay, I'm DEFINITELY gonna have to watch this.

[fistfulofmetal]

Dagon vs. Dead and Buried

gonna watch one tonight. which is better

[Great Rumbler]

Dagon vs. Dead and Buried

gonna watch one tonight. which is better

Dagon's first half is really good, but the second half goes all torture-porn. Don't know anything about the other movie.

[Diunx]

Watched Rosemary's Baby from the first time since I was a kid, I remember there was a shot of the baby in the last scene, it fucking scarred my little mind for years but the version I downloaded didn't have that shot and I can't find it on youtube either...did I imagine that?

[Joe Molotov]

It has a young Robert Englund, Joanie from Happy Days, Bill's mom from Big Love, My Favorite Martian, Captain Spaulding, and a woman getting raped to death by a giant space maggot (operated by James Cameron).

[Eric P]

Dagon vs. Dead and Buried

gonna watch one tonight. which is better

I quite liked Dagon, but aside from one scene where the lead is captured and uh, tortured, it isn't really torture porn (it's not the extensive centerpiece of the film).  It's pretty good for an HPL adaptation made with a tiny budget, but it's not great by any means.

I haven't seen Dead and Buried yet so I can't comment.

[Brehvolution]

I watched Paranormal Activity Saturday night. Pretty boring up until the last 5 minutes. The only thing that creeped  me out a little was the footprints in the baby powder.

[Eric P]

Amer- French psychedelic "horror" film.  Fucking amazing.  No story, no plot.  Just stuff.  Lots of stuff. 

[youtube=560,345][/youtube]

Blood on Satan's Claw - It's Henneke's White Ribbon in 16th century England.  A man tills up something unnatural which begins to exert an influence on the village children. 

[youtube=560,345][/youtube]

[Eric P]

oh and I'm currently watching Ghostwatch

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghostwatch

edit: oh man this is really really well done.

[Mandark]

oh and I'm currently watching Ghostwatch

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghostwatch

I heard about this on an episode of The Bubble, where the panelists were getting all nostalgic about it and David Mitchell had no idea what they were talking about.  It sounded goofy.

[Eric P]

entirely possible that this thing turns to utter poop but 1/3rd of the way in it's kind of slick.  getting a familiar presenter to act as the host, not making any sort of fictional disclaimer, some tricks with the footage where they toy with expectations of an audience both in the know and ignorant of the fictitious nature.  I know it only through people's hazy nostalgic recollections but I'm enjoying it thus far.

they keep using the term "gloryhole" for cubbyhole and it's funny every time.

"tell us about the events in the gloryhole"k

edit;  ugh  the ending.  Loved the first hour of it but they totally took it off the rails for the final third  still, it's interesting from a historical perspective.  Dunno if I would suggest it to anyone else though

[MrAngryFace]

Watching these on Sunday- both are awesome imo:

[TakingBackSunday]

it's aight.  not great.

[fistfulofmetal]

Insidious was surprisingly good. it gets really awesome near the end.

[Joe Molotov]

The story of a man, a Super-8 camera, $500, a catchy title, and a dream. And possibly a mental illness.

[Eric P]

A friend of mine recommended Insidious, but his taste in films has been occasionally suspect.

Is it any good?

it's unique, but that doesn't make it any good.

[Bildi]

I did find Session 9 mildly spooky and would love recommendations for mildly similar stuff.

I saw Session 9 just recently and quite liked it.  I also like that "mildly spooky" category, some I've seen recently that are at least "good" were:

Lake Mungo (very cool I thought)
Skeleton Key
Mirrors
The Uninvited
Alien Abduction: Incident in Lake County (Blair Witch-style)
Dark Water (Jap)

I also have two movies in my "to see" list which I think are similar - Shutter and The Echo.

Xtro 

That also reminded me of It's Alive.  I might watch both again, haven't seen them since I was a kid.

(Image removed from quote.)

Swedish and US versions are both awesome.

[Eric P]

oh shit, i totally forgot to gather a list for DCharlie.  MY BAD!

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6073447872198040913

There, everyone watch Ghostwatch.
