Halloween Horror List

[ROSS.T.G.]

I'm kicking off the horror season this weekend. The last few years I have been watching titles I haven't seen but this year I want to have a mix of new titles but also revisit the classics. I would like to get ideas from members.

I've bought a few new titles like Screams Black Christmas, Arrow's Children of the Corn, The Dead Zone Australian import.


Halloween Collection of course.
Dawn/Day/Land of the Dead.
Screams Return of the living Dead, The Thing, Carrie, Child's Play, Texas Chainsaw 2.
Evils Deads
Conjuring 1&2
The Haunting
American Werewolf in London
Monsters Universal Collection
Some Hammer films
Nightmare on Elm streets

I've got too many to list (at least 170. I started on 9/1) but post your thoughts on that Dead Zone transfer when you watch it. Been wanting to get it but not sure how good the transfer is.

Will do. I bought it last year so I'm eager to watch it. It's been years since I've watched it.

Such a great flick that needs a special edition here in the US!

Just bought Lights Out, never seen it but have heard it’s pretty good.

It's solid. It's not on the level as some recent titles but it's good. Nice PQ.

It's clearly a short film concept stretched out to full length, but it has some sold moments and decent filmmaking.

it's always horror season at my house. i'll probably trot out a few just for the season though. i try to stay away from the usual stuff though. the Halloween films will be on tv all month so no point and there seems to be a few others that cable beats this time of year.

Both the Short and the full film were great. The feature length film was far better than I expected it to be as well. At $10 or less it's such an easy obvious recommendation for the Halloween season for folks that haven't snagged it already.

I've been watching a few, I guess I need to look through my collection and make a list. I can never decide. Other than the major franchises, I never know what I am going to watch as I like to have a big list of one that I am interested in and then big from there.

One thing that is pretty awesome this year is how Friday the 13th falls into October so I can watch my favorites of the series (parts 1,2,4,6 and 8) on the 13th and then Crystal Lake Memories on Saturday the 14th. Only thing that sucks is that I tend to watch those and The Nightmare on Elm Street films near the end of my marathon so I can get Freddy vs. Jason in right after but I'll just split it up for a change this year.

I think some people are too kind with this film. I didn't think the concept was at all that compelling, and frankly I couldn't make it through the first fifteen minutes of the movie before I turned it off.

This is a great time of the year. I'm looking forward to a month long marathon of horror films. I have no interest in all the predictable choices that have been beaten to death on these boards. My tastes run to a mix of some of the old Universal chestnuts, and more atmospheric films in line with the Fall and the Halloween season.

[Dirk504]

I watch The Lost Boys every year. I’ll probably watch The Conjuring, NOES, Return of the Living Dead, and a few others.

[evilive]

This year I might avoid the usual stuff I watch every October. I'll be mostly watching blind buys, first time on Blu-ray, and revisiting movies I haven't in watched years. I'll probably even stream some stuff on Netflix.

I respect that. The last few years I haven't been watching the standards, but this year I want to go back to basics and revisit some. The Universals are a must this year and so are some of the Hammers.

I'm starting on the 1st aswell. These are including my pre-orders for October as well, and they are in no Particular order but I will be saving the more "Halloween themed" films like Halloween, trick R Treat...etc for the 31st. Here's my list:

Hack-O-Lantern
The Slayer
Satan's Little Helper
Trick or Treats
Trick R' Treat
Night of the Living Dead
Night of the Demons
Hocus Pocus
Tales From the Crypt (TV seasons)
976-Evil
Rawhead Rex
Cult of Chucky
Wish Upon
Psycho 1-4
Demon Wind

Final Exam
Hide And Go Shriek
Mardi Gras Massacre
Texas Chainsaw Massacre

All I've come up with so far. I'll likely be adding more to the list as I go.

Redundant?

31 Days of Halloween Movies (2017) - Horror Fans Unite!!!!!!

[hagios]

That is a fantastic home theatre ROSS.T.G., I'll bet you have much enjoyment with it!

I'm keeping my tally over @ 31 Days of Halloween Movies (2017) - Horror Fans Unite!!!!!!

I’m also trying to avoid my standard line up and keep it to movies I have never seen. Currently I have the box sets for ‘Phantasm, ‘The Omen,’ ‘Amityville Horror,’ and ‘The Exorcist’ and will probably round out with some scream/arrow releases. Of course I’ll be watch my standard triple feature the weekend before of ‘Halloween,’ ‘The Lost Boys,’ and ‘Hocus Pocus’ on The actual day as well.
