What horror movies are you watching this month?

Yeah do that, Sherman breaks down how it's two movies in one and all the reshoots, it's a mess.

I just had my annual watch last night, the new DVD version is fantastic.

I have that but did not get a chance to watch it yet. I have to put that on the short list.

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.

New band name: Ingrid Pitt's Cleavage.

Even if they sucked musically, I'd go see them.

Like all these Hammer films on the lists.... That's halloween to me!

It is, one of their better portmanteau films IMO although it's a little goofy too.

Yeah, but I can't help but love "The Cloak" with Pertwee and Ingrid Pitt's cleavage. Cushing's part is of course good, and Lee actually gets to play the hero in his segment.

Comedy/horror is so hit and miss with me - Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil was the exception! Totally fun - and Alan Tudyk was a stand out.

I wasn't expecting much, but the acting was so pitch perfect I just loved it.

Also, was "The House That Dripped Blood" an Amicus film? It's got Lee, Cushing and Pitt (plus Denholm Elliot and Jon Pertwee) but I know it's not Hammer. I don't recall seeing Amicus in the credits...

--Tucker & Dale vs. Evil, which was an absolute pleasure!

Yeah, it's unofficially the last from the Amicus team but it's not their best. Leans too heavy on the comedy and the music dated it instantly. I still like it but it could have been better.

I've heard quite a bit about this movie this Halloween season. I had never heard of it before. Did TCM show it? If so, I missed it.

I watched Bloody Birthday (1981) tonight. Which is great if you're looking for a fun 80s thing. There's a whole scene where a very young Julie Brown dances around naked. The plot is about these three kids who go on a homicidal rampage because they were born during an eclipse. So it's crazy, but the killer kids are a lot of fun.

Watched that recently as well. Oh, and My Bloody Valentine, which was actually pretty decent. I've been watching horror movies for a couple months now, so I'll add a few more that were viewed pre-October.

--The House of the Devil
--Tucker & Dale vs. Evil, which was an absolute pleasure!
--Trick 'r Treat, actually I watched this the other day and forget to mention it.

I really should compile a list, because I've watched a TON this year. Last night's feature was The Monster Club. I feel like I should have enjoyed it more than I did. I found the 80s musical interludes too distracting, but it was okay.

I take my traditional week off around Halloween to enjoy all the monster movies on television leading up to that night and essentially recharge my batteries. Yesterday I watched the original Friday the 13th parts I and II. It was funny seeing Kevin Bacon running around in skimpy bathing drunks. His death scene is always a blast. I love watching Bacon fry. Will probably watch Pt III today and then start my Halloween marathon leading up to tomorrow night. And yep, I watch Halloween III as well. It might be the odd bird in the series, but it has it's own dated appeal. It will just take a week to get that reworked 'London bridges' song out of my head.
