I can't judge any of them any more because my dumb brain keeps repeating stuff like "THE MANITOU OF THE SUPER MOTHER BUG" every time I try to think back.

I'll say Coraline was probably my favorite discovery just because I don't think I would've watched that on my own.

Shout outs to the Hammer ep The House That Bled To Death though for having my favorite title ever.

It is hard to top the comedic excellence that was the Xtro 2 stream, but as I said in stream last year, that was a gag that gets old by it's second use.

Hope I can pop in for more of these; I only managed to catch one or two last year. I'm certainly down for some crazy anthology stuff, especially if it means I end up knocking Creepshow off my to-watch list this year. Though looking at the Letterboxd, I guess you already crossed those movies off, didn't you? No matter, looking forward to some spooky (and "spooky") stuff!

Hey Lurdiak, I have a question.

I just bought two anthologies on blu ray, and I want to watch them but I will wait if they are gonna be on the stream. If I PM you would you be willing to give me the green light to watch them or not? You have my word that I would not tell anyone or even say what the movies that I asked about are in this thread.

I know this would be an exception to the normal rules so not a problem if the answer is no.

Fine, but only because you asked nicely.

Any chance of a double feature of WNUF and Ghostwatch? The latter is legit one of the creepiest things I've ever watched.

Ghostwatch isn't an anthology so probably no. Then again, Lurdiak tends to throw some wild cards in on the last stream of the season so who knows.

Looking forward to hearing what the first anthology of the stream will be. Any bets?

I'll be tuning in on Friday, but I'm hosting my own horror night on Saturday, so I'll be missing that stream (unless Scream Stream goes past midnight EST, which I don't think it does very often?), and I'll miss it again on 20-22 because of Halloween Horror Nights.

My guess is Creepshow 1 & 2 to start with a bang.

I think Lurdiak likes to save Creepshow until the end of the month usually, but maybe he'll switch it up since anthology is the entire theme this year.

I'm hoping for a Hood of Horror/Tales from the Hood night at some point.

I may show the Scream Stream for one of my horror movie nights if it works out, but I won't be able to chat if I do. Only one of them have seen Creepshow* and I don't think any of them have seen Trick R' Treat, and I was planning on doing a double feature of those closer to Halloween.

*My local theater showed a 35mm print of it the week Romero died, and I tried to get everyone to go. They all had to drop out last second.

I love Hood of Horror, almost as much as Tales From the Hood(which yes I agree is technically better movie). I've met very few people who agree though.

ABCs of Horror 2 is soooo much better than the first so I hope people tune in for it even if they were underwhelmed with the first installment, which managed to score 2 out of 26 tries.

Same. Vault of Horror looks like something I would've devoured on a Saturday afternoon in the 90s. The ABCs one confuses me a bit (26 directors? buh?) but I'm more than willing to wait for tomorrow to see what the movie's gimmick is.

I think a fun thing is going to be trying to see if the viewers who are blind to ABC 2 can guess what each letter is going to be (they don't tell you until that segment is over). That's part of the fun of the ABC series to me.

I'll admit I'm skeptical that anthology segments that short could ever be consistently good enough to justify the gimmick, but I've not seen ABC's 2, only the first. I'll definitely try to keep an open mind.

Oh, they aren't. You have to judge them individually I find. Like, there's some that are good, some that poo poo the bed, and some that are straight up bonkers.

The quality whiplash is why I don't really like The ABCs of Death movies. I'll tune in for at least part of it on stream, though, because I bet it's a great experience in a group.
