2016! SKMB October Horror Movie Marathon 2016!

[ghost19]

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. 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.

16) Coraline--A kid movie, but quite a creepy one! I've read the book, but hadn't seen the movie until tonight. Very well done! 4/5

 

[fljoe0]

20. Dreamcatcher (2003) Thomas Jane, Morgan Freeman's eyebrows

I wasn’t expecting much but I thought it was decent. 6/10

 

[muskrat]

A little Muskie Reminder for all you classic horror creeps:

Monday night TCM is showing dang near every Hammer Dracula flick, along with other Christopher Lee movies like The Mummy and Rasputin, the Mad Monk.

And come next weekend, they're showing about a hundred old horror movies.

Set DVRs to kill...

 

[muskrat]

The Body Snatcher (1945). Karloff and Lugosi's last team-up...if you can call it that. Poor old Bela doesn't get much to do but lurk about eavesdropping and getting killed half way through. Karloff is great in this, though, as the charmingly evil cabby, Mr.Gray, who supplements his meager earnings with a bit of...shall we say...digging. And when the diggings no good, there are other ways to earn a stiff...pound. Heh heh heh.

 

[Dana Jean]

30. Dracula's Daughter -- Not the greatest, but I still love these old black and whites.

"Hungarian countess Marya Zaleska seeks the aid of a noted psychiatrist, hoping to free herself of a mysterious evil influence."

31. Last Shift -- This was pretty creepy. Unsettling.

23. The Neon Demon (FTV)
A young naive newcomer to the LA fashion model scene finds out it's literally a cutthroat business. It would be easy to dismiss this as "Black Swan" with models instead of ballet dancers, and the success of Black Swan is probably how this got made, but The Neon Demon is much more satirical, and much less internally fixated. This film is an interesting combination of difficult material in a cinematic, watchable package. The synthesizer score is one of the best I've heard, and part of the welcome recent trend of retro synth music in horror films. But is this a really horror film? Yes, but it takes its time getting there--it feels more like a strange Lynchian thriller for the first hour or so until things start getting bloody. I think it adds to the enjoyment of the film if you don't think of it as straight horror for that first hour. Fresh, strange and of course stylish, The Neon Demon is definitely a different take on horror.

3.5 out of 5 stars.

That's one channel that I wish I had. We started Abbott and Costello meet Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde last night on Dailymotion, but it froze halfway through--and I've never seen that one! I think TCM holds the rights to all those old Universal movies.

Probably. Or, to be more precise, Ted Turner owns the movies.

32. The Girl in the Photographs -- Typical slasher.

"A bored young woman in a sleepy community called Spearfish starts receiving photographs of brutally murdered young women. Are they real or staged? The culprit is either a serial killer or some creep with a sick sense of humour."
