33. Horror of Dracula -- I had never seen this one. And for all its typical Dracula corn, I still loved it.

"Jonathan Harker begets the ire of Count Dracula after he accepts a job at the vampire's castle under false pretenses."

1-10. All of the "Halloween" movies from the John Carpenter original thru the Rob Zombie remakes.

11. The Conjuring

12. The Conjuring 2

13. All Hallows Eve...gratuitous clown murder movie. Not great, but entertaining.

14. Lords of Salem....My 4th time watching this one, still clueless as to what it's actually about.

15. Trick or Treat. 1986 movie about satanic rock star who returns from the dead and shoots lightning bolts from his guitar. The cheese was pretty thick on this movie...

16. The Faculty. One of the better soundtracks I've ever heard in a movie, and a great Sci-Fi horror flick to boot.

17. Disturbing Behavior. Similar to The Faculty. Nick Stahl and William Sadler. I'm convinced William Sadler is one of the most underrated actors. He seems to be able to play any role very well.

18. The Black River Vampire. Not terrible, they were definitely trying to go the way of "The Blair Witch Project" but I like those kind of movies. A bit of a bizarre ending. Rosemary's Baby meets a Twilight Zone episode....

19. The Thing (1982). Wouldn't be a true horror movie marathon without this one.

20. Wrong Turn. Hadn't watched this one in a while. Hillbilly cannibals and extremely hot female leads, including Eliza Dushku. Not much not to like in this one.

21. The Hills Have Eyes (2006). Debated on letting my son watch this one with me last night but gave in. I remembered this one being a little heavy on the violence side but then my son reminded me I had let him watch the Rob Zombie versions of Halloween less than a week ago....hard to argue with that logic. Wasn't as horrific as I remembered it to be and still a good movie. Found myself giggling at some of the over the top violence....WTH is wrong with me....lol

22. House of 1000 Corpses.

23. I Spit On Your Grave (2010 version with Sarah Butler). Hadn't seen this one in a while. Helluva revenge movie.

24. The Cabin In The Woods. Seen this one several times but still just as weird.

25. DEF-CON 4. 1985 post nuclear war type movie with cannibal humanoids. Campy but watchable.

26. The Vatican Tapes. This one was just coming on cable when I woke up this morning which gave me an excuse to stay in bed. Not a bad movie, ending was solid.

27. Grave Encounters. I'm not sure how I missed this one but other than the classics I've watched so far, this makes #1 on my list of horror movies I've watched so far for the marathon. Paranormal "Ghost Hunters" show producers enter a huge abandoned mental asylum. Sounds like it's been done before but they make it work very well. Solid movie.

28. Grave Encounters 2. Whoever produced this movie obviously didn't consult the formula for the first Grave Encounters. This one was was boring from start to finish.

29. Hell comes To Frogtown. Post apocalyptic movie starring "Rowdy" Roddy Piper...enough said. Piper has to rescue a group of fertile women from a mutant leader who resembles a frog in order to try and repopulate the planet...he also has to perform said rescue with a bomb strapped to his junk. There's an Oscar plot somewhere in this one..;) Barely stayed up long enough to finish this one last night. Last peek at the clock showed 12:55am....

30. Extraterrestrial. Another sci/fi horror flick. Same director who did Grave Encounters directed this movie. Not much new here as far as the alien abduction genre but the aliens are quite a bit more violent which was kind of cool. Some good splatter kills, worth watching.

31. The Gallows. I wish I could buy back 90 minutes of my life. Pretty much bored the whole time but my son seemed interested in it so I sat thru it. Definitely meant for a younger crowd not so much for an old grouchy horror movie veteran....

32. The Entity (1982). I found this one going thru my old DVDs. Still a pretty good demon movie. Worth a watch. Barbara Hershey does a good job.

33. Madison County (2011). Another of my stored DVD finds.
index.php
This movie was shot one county east of where I live. I watched it a few years ago but couldn't remember if it was any good or not. Turns out it wasn't completely terrible. A lot of familiar roads and landmarks. Some scenes were shot here in Fayetteville and others were shot over in Madison County near a very small speck on the map called Oark. Basic backwoods horror movie plot but reasonably well done.

34. Evil Dead (2013). Good re-make. I very much liked this one.

35.The Exorcist III: Legion. Hadn't watched this one in a few years. Brad Dourif does an excellent job in this movie.

34. Dracula: Prince of Darkness -- I've seen this one, and typical Drac stuff, still enjoyed it.

"Dracula is resurrected, preying on four unsuspecting visitors to his castle."

Killer Shrews

- this one brought back memories

There is a Swedish girl in this one who speaks a few lines of Swedish - made me think of Kurben

I am going to give this one 4/5 simply because it was so bad - you know - so bad it was almost good

Not a first time view (FTV) for me as I saw this when I was maybe 7 years old with my parents - my sister was horrified!

I have fallen off my pace.

20. The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967) Pretty cute movie, I laughed several times. But watching Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski was distracting me. Knowing such tragedy was waiting in the wings for them.

21. Young Frankenstein (1974) I don't think I had watched this one since I was little, with my Dad, who is a big Gene Wilder fan. Bits and pieces, but not the whole movie. So obviously, caught all the double entendres and innuendos this time around. ;-D

22. The Forest (2016) A woman travels to Japan to find her twin sister, who was last seen going into the Suicide Forest. It was ok, some good jumpy scares, but the plot line seemed all over the place to me. Some good eye candy in Taylor Kinney. Natalie Dormer from Game of Thrones played the sisters.

23. Rocky Horror Picture Show (2016)
Meh. I am not a big huge fan of the original, but it is campy fun. The remake tried hard, but it is just impossible to redo something so classic to so many. Tim Curry looked well, though. Speech was clear although you can see the effects of the stroke on his face. It was good to see him in it.

25. The Conjuring 2 (FTV)
A paranormal investigation couple goes to Enfield England to solve the mystery of a poltergeist tormenting a single mother and 4 children. Decent horror sequels exist! The Conjuring 2 is full of all the shocks, creepiness and jolts that made the first one a breakout hit, along with a little bit of heart as well. Director James Wan takes his time with this film, and the result is more assured and confident than his earlier work, without getting too slick and formulaic. The demonic-faced nun monster is a great invention, particularly effective during a scene involving a realistic painting. The Crooked Man character seems a bit out of place, but I suspect they may be setting him up for his own spinoff, as was done with Annabelle the doll. That complaint aside, The Conjuring 2 is a very worthy sequel that's required viewing for modern horror fans.

4 out of 5 stars.

They dont really like oneanother so it is difficult. But these witches are our heroines, they are the only thing standing between the evil forces that want to take over the small community. Probably first of a trilogy (i've read the books it is based on, i can recommend them) 4/5

Horror of Dracula (1958). Cats these days might think this is just some old camp vamp stuff, but this was the first full color savage vampire in cinema--drooling bright red blood from those fangs. Lugosi never had fangs, you never saw any blood on his mouth. Christopher Lee showed us what a beast the Count could be. He gave us the Hammer Vampire, and god bless em for it.

And I'd love to hunt vampires with Peter Cushing.
