31 Days of Halloween Challenge

[InSearchofAdam]

Hello All My New Friends,

I'm a blogger who loves horror films and writing movie reviews. In the month of October, in celebration of my favorite holiday, I will be posting a new horror film review on each day. So, I need to start watching and writing reviews now so that I can keep up once I hit October and post 31 unique reviews. I want to review old horror films, new horror films, good horror films and bad horror films (sometimes watching the bad ones is a ton of fun all in itself).

I may even try to review some of the new horror films premiering in the theaters in October. I'm starting this thread to get some ideas and opinions of films I should watch and review. Please give me suggestions and opinions of this undertaking. I'm excited to see your thoughts. I thank you ahead of time, and if any of you are huge horror lovers please let me know.

Will you watch any type of horror films, or do you have things you want to see, or want to avoid?

ghost movies, slasher?

I'm not trying to avoid any type of horror film. I want suggestions of every horror sub genre. So you can suggest anything you want! I welcome them all.

Ug. I freaking love Halloween. Part-way through the summer, I get this intense nostalgic feeling, like I wanna be a detective or something. Where every day is like... this gray, rainy day. It's so TMNT.

I love the flamboyant side to Halloween, as well as really scary shit.

My favorite horror movie in the entire world is the first, American Ring. I love the mystery and the atmosphere it's set in. There was a sequel but... anyways.

I also like the Skeleton Key, but yo, I haven't watched that many movies in my life, nor that many horrors, so I don't know what's good or not. I just love these particular films.

Saw "The Changeling" a few years ago. Classic, thought provoking, haunted house, ghost story. I may need to revisit it actually.

larafan25 I completely agree. My childhood friends and I used to watch horror films all the time during summer vacations and the fall time. It makes me very nostalgic and relaxed as well. Reminds me of a simpler time. Love TMNT also! I love how flamboyant and scary Halloween can be, as your pointed out. Thanks for your suggestions!

Funny Horror Classics:

Killer Klowns from Outerspace (1988)

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (1978)

Not So funny Horror Classics:

Night of the Living Dead (1968)

Then there is many Hitchcock films.

Psycho (1960)

The Birds (1963)

I think the number one horror movie star of all time is Vincent Price:

Long live the king of B-Rated Horror... Actually not all of his work was B-Rated, some of its is real good and given the era it was done in absolutely terrifying.

Mind back when I was a kid these were the kind of Horror Films we had for Halloween time. Many of them we had to wait until Halloween to see. Kinda sorta like we had to wait until Thanksgiving to watch Wizard of Oz and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Well that is life before streaming video, Internet, Netflix/Hulu and Cable TV. To date myself further, I distinctly recall the age when folk were all excited about the brand new Color TV that was available. Latish 1960's early 1970's

(Yeah I didn't get that Dorthy ended up in a very colorful world until later in life, it was all BW for me back in the day).

In the late 1980's and through the 1990's we had Elvria Mistress of the Dark, she hosted a weekly Horror Film night (Movie Macabre) and would bring a lot of the old classics into the living room with a bit of horror and comedy, would that be horrible comedy?

If your into this sort of thing, there are slashers. I think the hallmark turning point of horror was with Halloween (1978) And Friday the 13th (1980) Jason and Micheal were the first slasher guys.


Considering that when Psycho (1960) first showed in theaters people fainted at the shower scene (mind we don't actually see the stabbing) then 20 years later people are watching Micheal or Jason making blood porn.... and not so much as bat an eye, we can say that society had changed a lot in that short time.

Italian cinema had quite a successful horror phase during the 70's and the 80's, you might wanna look into it (Dario Argento, Mario Bava, Lucio Fulci, you know).
