10/13: Dr. Phibes Rises Again (1972)



While this movie is fun and I enjoy Vincent Price in it, I prefer the original by a pretty wide margin.

10/14: House II: The Second Story (1987)



I'm tempted to give this a 10 based of the title alone, its the best name for a sequel I've ever heard in my whole entire life. And just like the first House, it is a fun movie as well. I never finished it the first time I tried watching it, glad I went back to it.

Freddy vs Jason 2003. The last time I watched this was when it came out at the movies. So much fun to see it again.

Terrifier

5/10

Mostly just a gore fest. Not sure how they made more of these but will probably watch the 2nd one tomorrow to see if the production gets better.

Apparently the sequel is one of the longest slashers ever.

Halloween is for children.

Yes...we pass out candy and watch horror movies at the same time. It's called multitasking.

[Shop of Horrors]

I saw 'I Spit on Your Grave II' and 'Girl Next Door (2007)'. Not sure if the latter movie is really 'horror' it does very much have horror elements though.

10/15: House III: The Horror Show (1989)



The 3rd in the series of 4 House movies doesn't live up to the seconds as far as the title is concerned, but its another damn fun movie. Brion James is great in it and I always love Lance Henriksen.

I do love the cover art for those 1980s Horror movies...stuff like this

[Shop of Horrors]

I saw 'Deadgirl' last night as it was on the 'Disturbing Movie iceberg' which I am trying to semi work through. Meh, nothing special.

10/16: It Came From Outer Space (1953)



From Ray Bradbury, this story offers effective paranoia along with the many silly hallmarks of sci-fi of this era.

Just watched the trailer and it looks pretty good. I'll give it a watch so thanks for this.

I saw August Underground and the sequel AU Mordum last night to see what they were actually like. Just...horrible. Would not ever watch again.

[Shop of Horrors]

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning 2006
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2003

I have the uncut 'Beginning' on DVD. I quite like that movie. I like the grindhouse feel and of course the legendary R Lee Ermey as the sadistic "Sheriff". Crazy levels of gore for those that are into that type of horror.

[Mr.PissShivers]

10/17: Night of Terror (1933)




I guess you might call this a proto-slasher. An alright horror mystery with good atmosphere...made better by Lugosi.

full movie:

6/10

10/18: Hollywood Ghost Stories (1986)



This is a documentary I came across that goes over some of the hauntings that have taken place over the years in Hollywood and during the production of movies like The Exorcist. It devolved into a clip show after awhile which takes some points away.

10/19: Night of the Demons (1988)



Goddamn, this movie is Halloween as fuck, its ideal if you're looking for some fun Halloween vibes.

10/20: What Have They Done to Your Daughters? (1974)



A excellent and engaging Euro-crime/giallo dealing with grim subject matter.

10/21: The Man Who Could Cheat Death (1959)




I guess this film isn't considered top tier among Hammer films, but I thought the moral conflict here was interesting. Plus Christopher Lee's in it.

The Sadness



Very intense movie as soon as the horror kicks in. I knew how brutal and gory it was, so was not shook.

[Mr.PissShivers]

10/22: Next of Kin (1982)





Really cool horror out of Australia. Wonderful spooky old mansion atmosphere and dreary mood.

10/23: Attack of the Mushroom People (1963)



This is just like that one episode of Gilligan's Island where everyone eats mushrooms then turns into fungus people.
"Little Buddy," said the Skipper, "I ate some mushrooms and now I'm turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so." That episode never got released for some reason.

10/23: Four Flies on Grey Velvet (1971)




Technically I have seen this, but the version I was was so poor that I was necessary to watch it again. And it was worth it. Based on the version I saw before I would have called this a lesser Argento, but its not. Its terrific any way you cut it.

Trauma (South American extreme cinema), The Thing (Carpenter classic) and 7 Days (Canadian, French language movie)

10/25: Zombi 2 (1979)



An all time favorite of mine, and truth be told this is actually the 4th time I've watched this film since June. Fulci has the ability to create an atmosphere of dread that's actually pleasant to sit and stew in. Fulci in combination with Fabio Frizzi's legendary score creates here a near perfect mood of inescapable terror.

trailer:

9.5/10

I saw 'We need to talk about Kevin' last night as I had heard it was a 'good' disturbing movie. Not bad at all. Tilda Swinton is a brilliant actress and plays the troubled mother so well IMO.

[Mr.PissShivers]

10/26: The Monster Squad (1987)



It was fun to revisit this classic after so many years. A proper Halloween movie if there ever was one.

Dang, I need to watch this one.

[Mr.PissShivers]

Dang, I need to watch this one.

They're are a few of Fulci's movies that are worth watching, Zombi 2 aside, City of the Living Dead, The Beyond, House by the Cemetery and The New York Ripper. In fact many hold those movies over Zombi 2.

And I have to preface that these movies are surrealist nightmare films and logic, plot and reason hold little importance generally. You watch them for the atmosphere and mood (and gore) they create over plot construction. So keep that in mind if things get incoherent. Because of this his movies aren't for everybody.

[Shop of Horrors]

I saw 'Murder Set Pieces' last night. A very extreme movie in which a muscular Neo-Nazi dude brutalizes and murders woman. Overall poor acting but the movie does feature Tony Todd and Gunnar Hansen (Leatherface) as a cool bonus.

10/27: The Old Dark House (1932)



Another favorite of mine from the great James Whale....flawless atmosphere, top tier cast, creepy and funny as hell....Ernest Thesiger is perfect.
