2015!!!SKMB October Horror Movie Marathon 2015!

[cat in a bag]

21. Re-Animator.
I remember this being scarier!

22. Damien Omen 2
Not as good as the first one, but still good. The twist at the end was a surprise to me.

23. Silent House
This started out good, a girl is helping her dad and uncle renovate a house. Creepy things start happening. Then it degenerates into a tired storyline so I ended up not liking it very much.

My final list...

1. Pet Sematary
2. Riding the Bullet
3. Thinner
4. Silver Bullet
5. Witchboard
6. The Evil Dead 1981 ftv

I fell short again this year. But October was a crazy busy month for me. 4 days of jury duty, moving Brandon to his new house, got sick, and then Brandon's surgery and running back and forth to his house taking care of him post-surgery. I think I did ok, considering!

As always, so much fun. Will go back and read through everyone's posts these last few days and catch up on what you all finished up with!

I didn't do very well on this marathon.
What's the next marathon?

The Columbus Day movie marathon month

 

[CrimsonKingAH]

The "not sure what to think" category: Teeth

I agree... The NOT SURE WHAT TO THINK CATEGORY : TEETH
hahahaha wow.. that is all I got to say on that one.

 

[Dana Jean]

I can only think of two of those: Planes, Trains, and Automobiles and Miracle on 42nd Street. Are there others?

I tried to get everyone to pick up on genre month. Each month, someone tells us what genre to watch, and we try to watch at least one movie from that genre.

one month, Westerns,next month romances, foreign film etc.... I had no takers.

 

[stacy270]

Mine is one. (1)
I watched What We Do in the Shadows on Halloween, but it probably doesn't count because it is a comedy about Vampires and Werewolves. ("not Swearwolves...")

I thought this was pretty entertaining.I love Flight of the Concords.

I must have missed that one! I'd be willing (though westerns... well, I could try).

It's a way to make us try things we might NOT normally watch. Step out of that box thing.

 

[skimom2]

For sure! I think it's a fun idea!

I agree it is a fun idea. I would be willing to participate. And I Like Westerns!!!!!!!

I thought of a few that I like, but I presume that we'd have to watch something NEW to us--lol. That's sketchy--there aren't a lot of westerns I like.

Okay, Ms. Dana Jean . Start us off, and let us know the rules: new to us, or old favorites? Genre? How many to watch? Might be fun to have a weekly thing (like the Survey), and everyone who participates could do a short summary (like many of us do for the Halloween Challenge).

DJ isn't able to be online as much as usual right now, so may need to come back to this later... possibly even message her about it skimom2 in case she misses your post.

will do

 

[Dana Jean]

Skimom, I'm on board but dealing with a family issue at the moment. Can you start us off? Pick a genre and you think once a week? someone can pick something new? I'm ready to go!

Oh my darlin'. No worries--you take care of you and yours. Let me start a new thread for it, probably tomorrow morning. I just found out that the reader's luncheon that I'd decided not to attend has me down as a hosting author (!), and I'm scrambling tonight to plan out swag bags, centerpiece, etc. I'll be 4X4 by tomorrow, I promise. Hugging you from afar--family stuff is never easy.

No worries. This can get started any time, so attend to what you need to first. Thank you!

A photo of Peter Lorre is horror defined.

Peter Lorre rocks. Try Fritz Lang's M, with Lorre as a creepy, child killing fiend. German with subtitles, but you can do it.

Have you seen him in a musical?? He played a russian, a bitpart in the musical adaption of the Ninotchka story with Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse in the leads. Funny to see.....

That sounds like fun. Keep pushing it.

Put me down for silent German Expressionism. Oh yeah, we'll be flooded with takers on that genre. Derf.
