It is my goal to find the Re-animator again before this quest is finished.

Just because it is the re-animator. :hopelessness:

40. Dracula A.D. 1972 -- Again, a new one I'm glad I added to my mind bank, but I won't go out of my way to watch it again. Boring.

"Johnny Alucard raises Count Dracula from the dead in London in 1972. The Count goes after the descendants of Van Helsing."

With an eye for London hot pants...

Oh lord, I bet Sir Chistopher just LOVED that tag line. Okay, I love these Hammer Dracula flicks, even though most of em...ahem...suck...but Mr. Lee is always a treat. How he used to gripe about the scripts that were handed to him! Kept saying, 'this is the absolute LAST Dracula I'm doing' but kept going back in the coffin. Heh heh. God bless him.

29. Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse (FTV)
When a zombie outbreak occurs, it's up to three misfit teen boy scouts to save the day. After reading lukewarm reviews, I was wary about this one but gave it a chance because I love horror comedy. I'm so glad I watched it! One of the funnest horror comedies of the year, Scouts Guide has everything a horror comedy fan could want. This sort of reminded me of "Stand By Me" and "The Goonies" combined with zombie horror comedy, since at its core it's really about growing up and friendship, and it's not afraid to have fun with the zombies. I'm glad the movie had the guts (no pun intended) to go for the "R" rating rather than a PG-13, because the shock and gore factor is very high and it makes everything that much funnier. This was the rare kind of movie that the moment it was over, I just wanted to watch it again!

4 out of 5 stars.

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.

36.Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning. Good gore factor but I still like the original sequel better with Dennis Hopper.

37.Body Bags. 1993 horror anthology by John Carpenter. I hadn't seen this one in many years, I remember why now. The stories weren't terrible but I think they were more concerned with celebrity cameos than story substance.

38. Ghost Story. Other than Craig Wasson's voice, this is still a very creepy movie.

39. Nightbreed (Director's Cut). Some very good added material to the original theater version.

40. Village of the Damned (1960). Classic. Still a creepy movie. I was surprised my son sat thru this one but I think he actually liked it.

41. Mockingbird. Oh goodness....as much of a pleasant surprise that "Grave Encounters" was, this is at the opposite end of the spectrum. It was on Netflix and was made by Blumhouse Productions, same company who have put out some of the better horror movies over the last few years. Dark Skies, Sinister, The Conjuring, all Blumhouse Production movies. They must have produced this one as a favor to a family member or something. Sheeshhhh.

Topper (1937). Okay, I know it's a comedy, but it's about ghosts, so shut up. It was on the tv this morning when I woke up, and, as per usual, I just had to watch. Love this movie. LOVE LOVE LOVE Constance Bennett! If I ever come back as a ghost, I want Connie by my side, bringing me pink ladies and urging me to dance. Drinking, smoking ghosts! Awesome. Only in the thirties.

OK......I'm so severely behind, that I've just been reading everyone's reviews and noting ideas to view for myself.

Last night, I watched The Conjuring 2.......I kind of had my doubts, but I have to admit that for the most part, it was very good. I even had a little trouble falling asleep.....kept seeing one particular character when I closed my eyes.
I always enjoy the stories involving the Warrens, although I read somewhere that they might not have been actually involved in this particular investigation. I'll give this one 4.5 stars.
