For October I figured like everybody who cares about movies, BBV should have a celebration of horrifying films throughout history. And since many horror films are available on youtube for free, this will be the perfect time to do a proper simulwatch with whoever wants to watch. The first selection of the month will be: Vampyr (1932)  Directed by: Carl Theodor Dreyer Written by: Carl Theodor Dreyer and Christen Jul Based on a book by: Sheridan Le Fanu "A drifter obsessed with the supernatural stumbles upon an inn where a severely ill adolescent girl is slowly becoming a vampire." This film is a remarkably frightening silent classic, containing one of my all time favorite shots in film history. Partially lost, missing scenes were described in intertitle when Criterion reissued the film in 2012. The youtube copy isn't as beautiful as their Blu Ray of course, but the atmosphere and sullen mood comes across strongly in Dreyer's foggy, empty settings. When the simulwatch takes place is up to the posters of BBV. I think Sunday evening may be best, but I can watch Friday and Saturday afternoon/early evening as well. We will be using andchill.tv whenever we watch, and people can absolutely suggest more films to watch throughout the month. ---------- From the Staff Picks Archives January 31st, 2017: Cure February 7th, 2017: Westfront 1918 February 14th, 2017: John Wick February 21st, 2017: Red Sorghum February 28th, 2017: God of Gamblers March 7th, 2017: The Autopsy of Jane Doe March 14th, 2017: Perfect Blue March 21st, 2017: Spring Breakers March 28th, 2017: Cemetery of Splendor April 20th, 2017: Parallax View April 27th, 2017: Right Now, Wrong Then May 02th 2017: Stalker May 12th 2017: White God May 19th, 2017: Red Beard June 1st, 2017: The Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant June 18th, 2017: Urusei Yatsura 2: Beautiful Dreamer/The Matrix Summer Special July 31st, 2017: Summer Under the Stars (Month Long Special) September 6th, 2017: Westworld September 13th, 2017: Strangers on a Train Septermb 20th, 2017: Kaili Blues
