3) The House That Dripped Blood-1970 Amicus anthology. So much for trying all FTV--lol. LilMan loves Asylum & wanted to watch this one, though, so we did. Second time for me, and I enjoyed it just as much. 4 stories, all linked by the house in which they occur. Tongue in cheek jabs at Christopher Lee's Dracula abound (he is one of the actors, NOT as a vampire), and that cast is quite good. Written by Robert Bloch, so that's a bonus. Creepy enough for anyone at times, but not too scary for a 9 year old right before bed. A win!

Children Of The Corn. Personally not my favorite King movie, it bores me a little, still a good movie though and it's much better than the remake.
4.) They (2002) - so bad. I think 1.5/5 stars would be generous.
You seem to have a family theme going on this year, Feef!
Still deciding on a good one for tonight.
Ok, that's funny right there.
5.) The Babadook (2014). So glad I watched this during the day! That boy was very freaky good. Once again, I wish there were warnings about animal stuff. 
I sure hope there are laws in other countries about harming animals for movies. I would give this film at least a 4/5 stars - terrifying.

Promise? The only thing I could find online was about the American Humane Association.
The 31 Terrifying Films To Stream This October list is interesting. I don't agree with some of the names on the list -- some weren't full of enough Halloween for me -- but I assume it is a bit limited to whatever streaming device it is referencing (Netflix?) and whatever films it currently has on its service. I agree with Scream, certainly; as the comment in the article stated, it is difficult to imagine what horror films of today would look like without that movie. The first Saw was excellent -- it really wasn't about the gore, it was more of an Edgar Allan Poe tale (I'm sure those who have seen it know which Poe tale I am referring to in particular, but also the traps were Poe-like without being Poe-like at all). The rest of the films in the series were absolutely boring, because they were about the gore and all kinds of soap-opera stuff. Some here in the thread have mentioned It Follows -- I have not seen that, but will try to. Honestly, the premise and trailer did not seem interesting to me, but I will keep an open mind.
I like to try to catch The Monster Club (with Vincent Price, an anthology film), Satan's Little Helper (this one is a lot of fun), Prince of Darkness (I read somewhere that shortly before Halloween a screening of the film will be held in the church that was used in the film; I mean, how cool is that), and Trick 'r Treat (oh yes, a new classic). I'll also add a newer film to the list -- The Houses That October Built. Please note I may have mentioned these films in last year's thread, so forgive me for repeating myself.

The Thing (1980). My favorite of the three thing movies and definitely the grossest.
Have this one recorded. I've only seen bits and pieces of it.
You need to watch all of it! It's a great movie, though I do wish Jed(the dog at the beginning) had been in more of it.
The dog dies, right? Yep. That's Right. I just spoiled it. Tough. hahahahahhaha!
I NEED more spoilers like this!!!!!!!!!
About got Night of the Living Dead in the can. Devil's Rejects locked and loaded. That'll make three. Did The Wolf of Wall Street, but it turns out it wasn't a werewolf flick. Good flick, though.
But it still was scary - all those quaaludes!
OH. MY. LORD. It took me over a month to watch Wolf. Watched 10 minutes of drugs and porno and couldn't take it anymore. Until the next 10 minutes of drugs and porno. My kids think it's hilarious that I hated it so much.
