What HORROR Movies Are You Watching For Halloween Week?

[Mr Light]

I watched The Babadook on Netflix. It was too long and too slow, but portions of it were INCREDIBLY creepy. The creature and his voice were terrifying!

I also watched Mimic for the first time in years. I love Del Toro but I still feel this is a very average and forgettable movie. But now I really wanna watch Blade 2 again

I have a bluray of an 80's movie called Scarecrows that I haven't watched yet. I picked it up on a whim when I spotted it cheap, and have absolutely no clue what it's like. Anyone seen it and think it's worth putting on the Halloween pile?

The Fog (1980)

If it's the same 'Scarecrows' I watched on TV a few years back then that is a good choice. A good solid 'B' movie with a few creepy moments with good scarecrow costumes. I don't know if it was released in theaters or was made for cable but the version I watched was edited for local television so some of the cursing and gore was cut but it didn't effect the overall tone of the story.

I'm going to watch it tonight. Might double it up with the original 'The Town that Dreaded Sundown.'

Yesterday, aside from Supernatura, which was great, I watched Rollin's Rape of the Vampire, Devil-Doll on TCM, and an old silent film called The Golem. I couldn't find my Creepshow DVD, but hopefully I can find it today. And it looks like TCM has a Hammer Marathon, so I'll probably multitask by reading my Clark Ashton Smith anthology on the couch.

I don't think I've heard of it, but the Wiki page makes it sound promising. According to IMDB, the unrated cut is very gory, though, so I don't know how you'll feel about that.

Is no one watching The Haunting ?

It's about the only horror film I'd recommend...

I brought a Vincent Price box set last week (House on Haunted Hill, House of Usher, Haunted Palace, Tomb of Ligeia, Masque of the Red Death, the Last Man on Earth, Witchfinder General, and the two Phibes movies.) I might try and make my way through that.

And I suppose I might see that last Paranormal Activity movie. I was there at the beginning, I might as well see it through to its inevitable bitter end.

Depends if I'm working, I guess.

Good set. I have a Price box set, but the one I have includes Madhouse, Theater of Blood, and like yours, the Dr. Phibes movies. Can't go wrong with any of his work, especially the early 70's stuff.

I watched Human Centipede 2 last night. Holy #@#$. That was reprehensible It was a horrible, brutal snuff film and nothing else.

And now, out of sheer morbid curiosity, I'm going to watch the 3rd one tonight on Netflix

 

[Trekkin]

Don't do it man! It's near unwatchable, and I'm not saying that because it's gory.

So 'Scarecrows.' The actors were pretty bad, but I actually kind of liked it. Once upon a time, it would have made a great drive-in movie.

 

[Dream]

Some of these are pretty bad, but I'm watching them for free on television.

Troll
Troll 2
April Fool's Day
The Glass House
Island of Dr Moreau (1977)

I didn't see that one.

After the Hammer Marathon on TCM, there was a Val Lewton Marathon, although I didn't really get to watch.

Looks like The Scarecrows is on Impact On Demand.

Interesting, I just started my Halloween day marathon of movies with Halloween 3. In the movie there is a commercial for the original Halloween. So Halloween 3 takes place in a universe where the first two movies that it's a sequel to are fiction.

I'm pretty much imune to gore - I just find it a bit pathetic. I dont like slasher movies but thought Scream subjverted the genre nicely. Stuff like Hellraiser bores the pants off me and I found The Exorcist a bit dull. Much to Mrs Relayers disgust, I hate old Hammer films. I'm not a good target audience for horror.

The Haunting is brilliant - watch it. Buy it if you have to...

Carpenter recently did an interview (I can't recall what site I read it on) where he said the plan was to make the Halloween series an anthology, with different characters and unrelated stories in each film, released under the Halloween banner (after Halloween II, of course). Maybe the commercial was inserted as a reinforcement of this anthology design.

Another interesting thing was watching the original Halloween today and one of the movies the kids are watching is the original B&W The Thing from Another World. A movie Carpenter would later remake.
