Oct. 1 ~ Come Back to ME FTV
A woman installs a hidden video camera in her home in a desperate bid to learn the truth about her blackouts and memory lapses and, in the process, discovers a terrifying secret involving her neighbor.
A decent psychological thriller. Not terrifying, but a good start to this year's marathon.

4. Burnt Offerings -- One of my old standbys. I just like this one, where else could someone have a beat up old mansion, charge people to rent it and do maintenance and take care of the their mother in the attic? America!
Oliver and Karen paid THEM to do all this work, for a vacation! I would much rather pay that 900 bucks for 5 days at a really nice hotel where everyone catered to ME.

It's a great book too! I've read it a few times.
Yes, I read the book too, and really, the movie is just almost word for word the book.
True. And that's probably why I like them both so much.
See, it can be done! I'm looking at you directors of SK-book-based movies!
3. Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (FTV)
X-Men for the Harry Potter set? After hearing strange tales of battling monsters from his grandfather, an awkward teen boy travels to a boarding home for Peculiars, who are children with special powers. Soon he's leading the misfit bunch in the fight against the monstrous Hollows, who have their own peculiar talents as well. This might not seem like horror on first blush, more of a dark mystery, but the monsters here play for keeps--shooting tentacles out of their mouths to feast on the eyeballs of children! This is a Tim Burton film, so expect a riot of eye-popping effects, but he also lets the story do most of the talking here, and my 11-year old daughter who is familiar with the books was enchanted--and a little bit frightened.
3.5 out of 5 stars.

My favourite line... "We're Werewolves, not Swearwolves!"
3- The Darkest Hour- more sci fy than horror FTV sci-fi thriller about five youths who fight back against invisible energy-absorbing aliens in Moscow. 5/10
....that creature looks like a cross between a Cenobite and a Licker from Resident Evil.....3. Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (FTV)

TCM has a bunch this month, as usual. And every Sunday night is devoted to their monster of the month, Frankenstein. Showed the first three Universal flicks last night, next Sunday the next three, then some Hammers, etc.
Fire, bad.
Fire, bad.
2 ~ Mr. Jones ~
Two filmmakers discover too late that it was a bad idea to make a documentary about their neighbor a reclusive artist, whose specialty is creepy scarecrow sculptures.
I liked this one. Parts of it are cheesy, but all in all, it kept my attention, and had just the right amount of creep factor.

Oh, and this Saturday TCM is having some great silent horror classics, like Nosferatu, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, and Lon Chaney, Sr in Phantom of the Opera and The Unholy Three. And then they're showing Haxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages (1922), which I've always wanted to check out--looks mucho creepy!
A scene from Haxan:
Looks pretty dang creepy for 1922, eh? Can't wait!

Haxan is just a one-of-a-kind movie, even today. People back in 1922 had to be pretty shocked. Cinema was much more adventurous back then, they were still figuring out what movies were for and what they could do!
