What horror movies are you watching this month?

[Iron Mego]

I watched Spider Baby for the first time last night. Now that's a quirky one! But I liked it! Lon Chaney, Jr. gives a great performance as a loving caretaker of some very disturbed children (that's putting it lightly). This movie had to influence Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I also think that episode of the X-Files about the creepy inbred family probably took a page or two from this one.

Spider Baby is so great. I didn't add it to my list because I have yet to watch it on my DVR, but have watched it in the past.

All throughout October we tried to cram in as many movies as we could. Since I was watching half of them with my girl, not all of them were exactly 'horror' films, but we still felt they fit the overall theme. There were so many of them that we tried to fit in 2 a night where we could, sometimes more on the weekends.

Friday the 13th 1-9
A Nightmare on Elm Street 1-6
Freddy Vs. Jason
Hellraiser 1-5
Tales from the Crypt : Demon Knight
Evil Dead 1-2 & Army of Darkness
Pirates of the Carribean 1-4
Harry Potter films 1-8
Beetlejuice
Young Frankenstein
Ghostbusters

Dracula
Frankenstein
The Wolf Man
The Mummy
The Invisible Man

44 films in all with the classics being played while waiting for trick-or-treators

^Yeah, She-Wolf is the on film on the 4 Universal Legacy Sets I own that I haven't watched. I read somewhere that there was no real werewolf, so it's been on my backburner ever since.

As my wife rightly pointed out, it's kind of a dumb version of Gaslight (1944), if you know that old classic. She-wolf was not without it's charm though, it hits all the classic Universal monster movie notes and characters, but no monster. Also, the plot was especially stupid and you'll know the twist in about 4 seconds. Good performances though, and there's some pay-off - the villain gets one really good maniacal scene at the end.

I officially sent Halloween 2013 packing with "The Haunted Palace" on TCM last night. First time I'd seen it. Not a bad little atmospheric thriller. Poe, Lovecraft, Corman, Price and Chaney Jr. A good send off!

Chris

I dvr'd it...never saw it myself but I have seen pics from the movie will see it soon as I get a chance to sit down when I'm not too busy.

I ended Halloween by watching Warm Bodies. I know one thing,I'm glad Halloween is over. I was getting tired of seeing Rocky Horror Picture Show getting so much air time. Sheesh.

Oh I forgot earlier my wife and I watched She-Wolf of London (1946), which I probably forgot because it was so lame that (SPOILER ALERT) there was no she-wolf. I guess otherwise charming in some ways though.

[Brazoo]

Ugh - all our lofty plans to watch a few movies turned into just ONE movie. Getting old is lame. At least the movie was fun:

Hard Rock Zombies (1985)

I was going to post the trailer, but they quality was too terrible. Here's the whole movie -


WARNING - NOT SAFE FOR WORK:

Wattched Tales of Terror, Monster Squad, and House of Usher today. watched Fright Night y esterday. I have a bunch of other stuff off TCM on my DVR.

[Iron Mego]

Watched the original TCM last month, and it was a hoot as always.

[Brazoo]

I think tonight a few of us are getting together, a buddy of mine is pushing for "Evil Dead 2" (which is awesome, but I feel like we watch it every year) so I'm hoping we can vote on "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" just because it's been a few years for me.

Hopefully we get time for more either way.

Have a great Halloween everybody!
