33. Texas ChainSaw Massacre --- perfect end to the 2017 SKMB October Horror Marathon. It was fun!!
26) Maleficent (2014) – I love this movie! It was on Freeform last night, so DD and I watched it. I cry at true love’s kiss – Every. Single. Time. 4.5/5

31. Hotel Transylvania 2 (2015)
Kinda sad to be ending my marathon with a kids movie but had Miss Sage overnight, so it was that or nothing!
Not quite as cute as the first one, but pretty darn close.
Have a few old ones set to record tonight, but doubt I'll get to watch any of them before midnight with trick or treating and everything. Will post my final list tomorrow!

31. The Final Girls (FTV)
Young woman gets literally pulled into a slasher film and gets reunited with her dead movie star mother. Sounds like a hokey premise, and this is a horror comedy, but surprisingly it has a lot of heart. Cleverly written and deftly directed, I liked the funny cast and the poking fun at various horror movie tropes while embracing them. In a way this is also a time-travel movie, since the characters in the movie (within the movie) live in the world of an 80's slasher, so some fun and interesting ideas are explored. This avoids some of the cloying winking at the audience that started creeping into the "Scream" sequels, and it's thoroughly enjoyable, although not particularly scary. Fans of slashers and horror in general will love it.
4 out of 5 stars.

List of My Scary/Horror Movies
1. Son of Dracula
2. Alias Grace (well, what happened to her was horrible)
3. Arachnophobia
4. House of the Witch - teenagers trapped in abandoned house on Hallowe'en are terrorized by a witch
5. Carrie (at the motel last night) - the one from a couple of years ago
6. My Soul to Take (on SyFy right now).
7. It (second viewing at the theatre tonight).
8. Nightmare on Elm Street 3 at the hotel in Deer River MN.
9. Messages Deleted (2010) was on TV today - more of a mystery than a horror but there were some gory parts.
10. Pay the Ghost (2015) with Nicolas Cage - a professor frantically searches for his son who was abducted during a Hallowe'en parade.
11. Child's Play - sort of watched it but mainly it was on because son and GF were watching it - seemed kind of silly to me.
12. Silver Bullet - on AMC
13. Christine (yup - that one with the classic car)
14. Thinner (Die well, white man from town).
15. Blood Honey - Tortured by the memory of a childhood trauma, a woman returns after a decade to her family's fly-in hunting lodge to assist her siblings with their dying father, only to find herself stuck in a life threatening nightmare.
16. Firestarter - on AMC with George G. Scott, Martin Sheen, Art Carney & Louise Fletcher etc. - forgot how many well known actors were in this one.
17. I watched an episode of Hoarders on TV - this lady had 50 cats!(some were dead and stored in her freezer)
18. The Curse of Frankenstein - from 1957 with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee.
19. Texas Chainsaw Massacre - was on TV today - the one from 1974 which I originally saw at the drive in (probably around 1980) - it was a double feature with the original Carrie movie.
20. AMC is still showing Fearfest so today I watched Christine - John Carpenter director, great music and of course the car.
21. The Green Mile - re-recording it, as the last time I had it in the DVR was 11/25/16 - it's on right now on Movie Channel.
22. The original Halloween directed by John Carpenter, from 1978, with Jamie Lee Curtis.

Spring (2014)
This one was quite good - nice cinematography
Sort of a love story/horror story
Very strange ending

I tried to watch both this one (too campy) and the Killer Klowns one - neither one appealed to me, for some reason
Watching Hocus Pocus (marathon on Disney Freeform channel). It's fun -- campy and all -- but there is one genuinely scary scene. When Sarah (Sarah Jessica Parker) is singing to enchant the children and bring them to the sisters to be drained of their life force. Very creepy. Especially if you're a parent.
I'm not making any more movies this month.... My eyes are falling shut. But i made it anyway, clocked in at 38 this year. Great thanks to Fushingfeef in particular for the hosting and all participants in general for comments, reviews, tips and just being there.l. It has been great as usual. Look forward to this every year.
Oh, it is DEFINITELY campy. Yes. I suppose that doesn't appeal to everyone.I tried to watch both this one (too campy) and the Killer Klowns one - neither one appealed to me, for some reason

Perhaps I just wasn't in a campy mood that night
If you get a chance you should watch Spring (from 2014) - really weird movie but good special effects - just saw that one today
Oh! I just added it to the list of possibilities for Mr. Blue to choose from for our LAST TWO movies for the challenge tonight.Perhaps I just wasn't in a campy mood that night

32) Hocus Pocus-My daughter's choice. She loves it, I thought it was okay. FTV31) Mindhunter ep 9/10-WHEW! I'm more than a little convinced that the younger FBI agent is one thin sliver from being one of the serial killers he studies *shudder* FTV
I made the 31 (though I did fudge a bit by counting TV shows)! There will definitely be at least one more tomorrow (Halloween, duh
33) Halloween (1978)--adding this now, thought I haven't watched it yet. I know I will, because Halloween does not end until Michael disappears from the ground below the window
Happy Halloween, everyone
Got Dark Tower on Blu-ray today will be watching tonight.
Here is my final entry
28. Bates Motel (episode 1 & 2)
I got my five season blu-ray set a few weeks ago and decided to watch a little of it tonight. I have resisted watching any of the old episodes until the complete season came out on blu-ray. It was interesting watching these first couple of episodes again. There was a little mother-son murder bonding established in that first episode.
As I slowly make my way through the blu-ray set, I'm going to keep a body count on Norman (and Norma - she has a couple too). I'll report my findings in the Bates Motel thread as I go along.
28. Nipples Of Death 3
Not what I expected at all. I really didn't expect this to take place in a hardware store. The brass nipples in aisle 3 come to life and go on a rampage.
Rated R for male and female threads

Re-watch. The last 20 minutes or so were very good and I liked the ending.

Finishing up with...
31. American Werewolf in London.
This is my favorite werewolf movie. Also somewhat sentimental as I was in London when it was made. I know because the adverts on Piccadilly Circus are the same as in my photos and they change them often. I didn't get to see it as it was made unfortunately but it does stir memories. It has horror and humor and a naked Jenny Agutter. Just a perfect movie.
Happy Halloween everyone!

41. Dementia 13
"A scheming widow hatches a daring plan to get her hands on her late husband's inheritance, unbeknownst to her that she is targeted by an axe-wielding murderer who lurks within the family's estate."
Last one for me. Creepy rich family, very dysfunctional due to drowning death of only daughter. Everyone wanting the matriarch's money. Good black and white creeper.

70.) Knock Knock (2015)
Oh my. Thinking of something good to say about this movie. To the young people - there is no such thing as casual sex. Public service announcement finished. Over and out.
Only 30 minutes left before midnight. Not enough time for another movie. It was great fun, my friends. I'll compile my entire list in order tomorrow. As Kurben already stated, thanks so much fushingfeef for hosting such a great getaway. And I appreciate all the participants, reviews and recommendations.

#30 - The Other Side of the Door - An agoraphobic guy is losing his house and will have to go outside and a bunch of busybodies impose themselves on his life. Oh, and some creepy stuff too...kinda. This was yet another disappointment with what could have been a cool story but instead became a confusing, disjointed mess.
#31 - Intruder - I'll be honest. I only chose this because it was short, free, was the first movie in the Netflix horror queue that I hadn't watched yet, and I was running out of time to successfully complete this challenge. It's still playing now and is so far completely terrible but I'm committed to getting 31 in before midnight so I'm stuck with it.
I'm still going to watch Spring another night.
