    What horror movies are you watching this month?

    I'm shamefully behind in my horror movie watching for this October. Here's what I've gotten to so far:

    Cat People (1942)
    I've been meaning to see this one for a while! Good stuff!

    Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)
    The one without Michael Myers. I saw this as a kid, but I only remembered a few of the images. Likely because I was bored and didn't pay much attention. This time it was fun in a fun bad movie way.

    The New Kids (1985)
    Not so much a horror movie, even though it was sort of advertised as one. Very early creepy James Spader. Tom Atkins was in Halloween III and showed up in this one too. Directed by Sean S. Cunningham (of Friday the 13th fame) and written by Stephen Gyllenhaal (of Jake and Maggie fame). Eric Stoltz is in a minor roll too.


    So far I've got these ones cued up next:

    Dellamorte Dellamore (1994)
    Pathology (2008)
    Bloody Birthday (1981)
    Prince of Darkness (1987)

        Hmmmm....

        "Cat People" is a good choice. The sequel is kinda creepy in a low-key way.

        Can't go wrong with Vincent Price. Everything he did was awesome. Well....maybe not EVERYTHING: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXTxFspuw0M

        Nah. I actually like that too....

        Anyhoo; I've been watching a few movies. (I like to do Halloween stuff all November. Eat it, Christmas!) So far:

        -Warm Bodies: MUCH more entertaining than I expected.

        -Working my way through the Ultra Q series.

        -MOVIE PREVIEW!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olEbwhWDYwM

        -Just found this on the youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TBtwIo50BE

            Tons and TONS of stuff this month, mostly with the kids. I've DVRed a LOT off of TCM, but haven't had time to really watch any of it, including Vincent Price movies. I have Mr. Phibes on deck to DVR, as I've always wanted to see that one.

              Just watched Dracula VS Frankenstein thanks to Palitoy's t-shirt and a review from a buddy of mine. Absolute classic. Intend to watch it again with commentary which I am told is great.

              Other than that my daughter is going to have a Halloween Horror Movie night with her friends so I stocked up and bought a few Blu-Rays. Classics IMHO and one modern horror in case the kids whine about my old man tastes.

              Dracula (1931) with Bela Lugosi
              Frankenstein (1931) with Boris Karloff
              Bride of Frankenstein (1935) with Boris Karloff
              The Wolf Man (1941) with Lon Chaney, Jr. and Bela Lugosi
              John Carpenter's Halloween (1978)
              Mama (2013)

              That should do it I think.

                Of course I gave Halloween a watch. Got the new Blu-ray transfer and it was really good. I just watched the 90's remake of Night of the Living Dead on Amazon Instant Movies. I forgot how much I liked that remake. I have a stack of Blu-rays I need to go through but haven't had the time I hoped I would. The Elvis Fest in the Poconos took up my entire weekend. That didn't help much.

                    Let's see, what have I watched since Halloween season began:

                    The Wolfman
                    Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman
                    House of Frankenstein
                    House of Dracula
                    Son of Dracula
                    Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein
                    Abbott & Costello Meet The Mummy
                    The Creature from the Black Lagoon
                    Horror of Dracula
                    The Satanic Rites of Dracula
                    The Vampire Lovers
                    The Mummy (Hammer)
                    The House That Dripped Blood
                    The Monster Squad (1987)
                    Ghostbusters
                    Several Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episodes
                    It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
                    Toy Story of Terror

                    I really need to see a Karloff Frankenstein before Thursday night, or I'm going to feel weird. I got my Bela/Dracula fix from A&C Meet Frank.

                      Carnival of Souls (1962) and Universal Monsters marathon on the 31st.
                      You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                        Me too, first time ever on DVD. I mostly watch it on AMC and never catch all of it, so it was nice to see it start to finish.

                          All props to Chris for being able to watch A&C Meet The Mummy. Save Michael Ansara's bit, that movie is woof.

                          Now, A&C Meet Dr. Jekyll is actually pretty darn good thanks to Karloff. The Hyde makeup is my favorite design of all the different movie Hydes.

                          A&C meets Invisible Man has some very funny parts.

                          A&C Colgate Comedy Hour is on Amazon Prime. I think that has the Creature episode.

                          I'm watching The Munsters every night with the kids. Mad Monster Party and A&C Meet Frank are on the docket.

                          A lot of Walking Dead eps I missed.

                          The Monster Rally and Uni sequels - House of Frank/Dracula, Frank/Wolfman.

                          Revenge of The Creature is great. One of the strange aspects is how closely it parallels Jaws 3.

                          Tower of London is on the list.

                              Ah, you guys reminded me, I re-watched Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein earlier this month and Warm Bodies for the first time a couple of weeks ago. It was good.

                              Haha - Yeah, I'm always catching bits of it on AMC. Last week I watched a chunk of Halloween and Omen 3 on a treadmill at the gym.
