2. Christine

Skimom said she found on Crackle and lo and behold I found it, too. Giving it another look tonight. I'm embarrassed at my meager list but I haven't been watching television much at all. Many of my favorite shows return this fall so I am sure this will change.

You get an A for participation!

Four in the last couple of days: Attack the Block--Aliens land in a dodgy part of London. Poor Aliens ; The Thing--Carpenter classic. I hadn't seen it in years, but it's every bit as good as I remembered (aside from some dated CGI); 10 Cloverfield Lane--very well done!; What We Become--Danish zombie film. I liked it a lot. If subtitles don't bother you, this is a natural for US audiences. American cinema went from copying Japanese/Korean horror a few years ago to mimicking the style of Scandinavian films the past few years, and I'm glad. In every genre, Scandinavian film is a winner!

This is my list so far:
1) Dr. Jeckyll and Mr Hyde (1922) FTV
2) Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde (1955) FTV
3) Don't Blink FTV
4) We Are Still Here FTV
5) Dead of Night
6) Attack The Block FTV
7) The Thing
8) 10 Cloverfield Lane FTV
9) What We Become FTV
10) Exorcist TV series (4 episodes so far) FTV

 

[Nomik]

I'll be sure to set it up for recording

You should try to watch Little Shop of Horrors with Rick Moranis and Steve Martin

It's quite good

Thanks for that. It is one of my favorites and if you want, I'll play something in the song thread again. Cable's out tonight. Reading and writing instead.

16. Stir Of Echoes – (1999) Kevin Bacon

I’ve seen this one a couple of times (I think we all have). It’s a very good paranormal /murder mystery with some genuine creepiness. 7/10



17. 28 Days Later – (2002) Cillian Murphy

I’ve seen this one a few times and I think everyone else has too. I have this on blu-ray and the video part is disappointing as I can’t tell any difference from the standard dvd. The way the movie was shot, it was never going to look great but I was hoping for some upgrade in video quality with the blu-ray. The blu-ray does have four alternate endings which are all interesting. One of them is better than the one used in the film. The director preferred that one but it was too bleak and he changed it. 9/10

 

[Mr Nobody]

My list so far:
1. The Wicker Man (1973)
2. 30 Days of Night
3. Pandemic
4. Exists
5. Misery
6. The Bay
7. 28 Days Later
8. Daybreakers
9. 28 Weeks Later
10. Extinction
11. Infini
12. The Rendlesham UFO Incident (aka Hangar 10)
13. Pet Sematary
14. The Silence of the Lambs
15. Lake Placid
16. House at the End of the Street
17. Unfriended
18. Don't Blink
19. Trollhunter
20. Extraterrestrial
21. Jeepers Creepers
22. Let Us Prey
23. The Traveler (2010)

Adding three more, two of which I'd seen before:
24. Resident Evil
25. Resident Evil: Apocalypse (can't believe I'd forgotten all about the actress playing Jill Valentine! I must be getting old...)
26. The Exorcism of Emily Rose - interesting and spooky (with a great performance from Jennifer Carpenter, IMO) regardless of where you might sit in relation to the idea of demonic possession, exorcisms, etc. 4/5

I just looked it up - you can watch The Stand on-line

However - not sure if I could watch six hours all at once - would probably need to call in sick to work the next day

Why not divide it in two sittings? That worked for me. or even four. It is meant to be watched piecemeal since it is a miniseries originally; The Plague, The Dreams, The Betrayal and, finally, The Stand.

The Curse of Frankenstein (1957). Oh yeah, kiddies...the big granddaddy of the gory, garish, full color Hammer Horror craze. Watch this'n every year, never gets old. I couldn't imagine seeing this back in '57, whew, makes those Universal flicks look like Disney movies. Peter Cushing doing his first turn as the evil Dr. Frankenstein, and our beloved Christopher Lee as...who else?

I watched this again last night too.

Spoiler

I love the part with the eyeballs in the fish tank.

Or was I watching Revenge of Frankenstein? I get the titles mixed up.

Revenge came on directly after. I DVR'd it, but ain't watched it yet...not sure if I've ever watched that one.

Cool thing about the Hammer Frankenstein flicks is that, instead of the same monster returning for each sequel, they have Peter Cushing return each time--making new monsters.

14. The Town that Dreaded Sundown (1976) I recorded one of the same name from 2014, started it, and decided I wanted to see the original first. It was creepy but I think it would have been more effective without the bumbling cops angle. Complete with goofy, Smokey and the Bandit type music playing in the background. Not sure if I will continue with the new version...it is a sequel, not a remake, but the beginning is pretty much a copy of the original.

15. The Cat and the Canary (1939) Part of TCM's "Horror Comedy" theme from Friday night. Bob Hope and others arrive at a creepy house for a will reading and spooky events start immediately. I enjoyed it.

16. The Little Shop of Horrors (1960) Another from TCM on Friday night. I had never seen the original version. But, like others, love the Steve Martin/Rick Moranis version. I thought the original was cute.

I got the disc from netflix the other day and I should be seeing this one soon.

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....

Whew, I'm behind this year. Here's my most recent views.

8) Let Me In (2010) – FTV – Owen is a lonely, bullied 12 year old. A new girl moves into the apartment complex who is also 12 “more or less”. This was such a cool movie. Until I was looking up the year just now, I thought it was an older movie. Had that late 80s vibe. Really glad I found it! 5 of 5 stars
9) Halloween (1978) – The one that started my love of all things creepy! This still gets me. “It was the boogyman!” 5 of 5 stars
10) The Haunted Mansion (2003) – Watch this one with my daughter every year. It’s cheesy and campy but fun with enough jumps for the kiddos to enjoy. 3.5 of 5 stars

1) Se7en (1995) – 4 of 5 stars
2) Silent Hill (2006) FTV – 1.5 of 5 stars

4) The Remaining (2014) FTV – 3.5 of 5 stars

Please see the swedish original to Let Me In!! It is even better. It is called Let The Right One In. Tremendously good. Based on John Ajvide Lindqvists book.

17. The Wailing (FTV) Korean, with subtitles
A malign demonic entity terrorizes residents of a remote South Korean village, as an incompetent cop pursues in its wake of bloody mayhem. When the policeman's daughter becomes involved, it becomes a very personal quest to find the source of the evil and drive it out. The Wailing is a uniquely Korean mixture of brutality, spirituality, black humor, and mystery. The movie always seems to be a step ahead of the viewer, and even when it's over we're forced to reflect on what just happened. This is the kind of movie that seems made for internet message board debates and re-watches, but don't let that scare you away, it's simply great cinema: every moment is highly watchable. The Wailing does make demands of the viewer, and it is a bit long at 2 hours 16 minutes, but ultimately there's really nothing else like it.

4 out of 5 stars.
