I had a really good time this month, thanks for engaging with my newbie opinions on horror films. Without this thread and the horror thread, I can guarantee I never would've seen most of the movies I watched this year. The franchise movies, sure, maybe, but Tenebrae? Masque of the Red Death? The Possessor? Never. I watched 31 films in October, more than I ever thought I would, and only one was a rewatch. Thanks a lot to everyone for broadening my horizons significantly. Final Film Log: 1. The Guilty 2. The Omen 3. Titane 4. The Brood 5. Final Destination (Rewatch) 6. A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge 7. Scream, Queen! My Nightmare on Elm Street 8. V/H/S '94 8. Tenebrae 9. Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors 10. Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master 11. Child’s Play [They Always Come Back] 12. House [Based on the Novel] 13. Penumbra [A Perfect Getaway] 14. The Exorcist III [Starring Brad Dourif] 15. The Last House on the Left[Video Nasties] 16. Roar [Wild Beasts] 17. Slumber Party Massacre [As Seen on TV] 18. Dead and Buried [Dead and Buried] 19. House II: The Second Story [Hausu] 20. Raw [To Serve Man] 21.Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror [Horror Noire] 22.

Halloween Kills (2021) - 4/5 They Always Come Back I have an Excel spreadsheet on my desktop called The List, where I note down all the recommendations that catch my eye, with its own tab just for horror movies. It's gone from 85 to 135 rows this October, and that's not counting the things that I actually got around to seeing. I'd planned to watch In the Earth, but never found the time; I'd hoped to watch Titane, but couldn't get a hold of it. Still, the whole venture was mostly successful. Last October I got way behind, and realised at a certain point I'd have to do a couple marathons to get to 31, and cut it short so as not to ruin the fun. This time went a lot better. Next go around, the plan is to only watch things recommended in the thread (the thread for next time, that is). The spreadsheet is a useful tool, but it's better to try and watch things as soon as I hear about them, so they never go on the spreadsheet in the first place.

Wrap-up post for Fran's convenience. I had a ton of fun this year as always. I tend to stick to new-to-me movies anyway, so with one exception (Hell House LLC) these were all new to me. My goal was 31 movies. Here's the list, as for some reason I didn't keep it in an LBD list this year? 1. The Lure 2. Candyman (2021) 3. Wyrmwood 4. Malevolent 5. Vivarium 6. Three Extremes 7. Def By Temptation 8. Fanatic (or Die Die My Darling) 9. Kuso 10. The Pit 11. V/H/S94 12. Blackwood 13. Shadow Of The Hawk 14. The Queen Of Black Magic (1981) 15. Monstrous (2020) 16. American Psycho 2 17. The Nesting 18. Halloween Kills 19. Mimic 20. The Mutilator 21. The Field Guide To Evil 22. The Editor 23. Godzilla Raids Again 24. Grizzly 25. The Curse Of The Mummy's Tomb (1963) 26. The Funhouse 27. Hell Night 28. Bullets Of Justice 29. Dr. Black Mr. Hyde 30. The Thing From Another World 31. Gonjiam Haunted Asylum 32. Trick Or Treat (1986) 33. Ginger Snaps Back 34. The Pit And The Pendulum (1961) 35. Lucifer's Women 36. Death Machine 37. Bệnh Viện Ma 38. Ghostkeeper 39. Night Of The Demons 2 40. Hell House LLC (my only rewatch!) 41. Madhouse 42. Hollow The worst: easily American Psycho 2 - it was watched for the Hooptober worst sequel you can find, and I've already seen some of the other candidates. Top 5 is hard, there were a lot of bangers: 1. The Funhouse 2. Trick Or Treat 3. The Editor 4. Mimic 5. The Lure Honorable Mention: Bullets Of Justice for being so weird. Weirdest was definitely Kuso. Bingo Card  Bingo in the Y column! Spooky! Hausu: The Nesting Holiday Massacre: Halloween Kills Something Wicked This Way Comes: The Funhouse Rùng Rợn: Bệnh Viện Ma It's Only A Myth: Monstrous Tales Of The Grotesque: The Pit And The Pendulum Don't Torture A Duckling: Godzilla Raids Again Asylum: Gonjiam Starring Brad Dourif: Death Machine Horror Noire: Dr. Black Mr. Hyde Wild Beasts: Grizzly They Always Come Back: The Queen Of Black Magic Video Nasty: Madhouse A Perfect Getaway: Bullets Of Justice Don't Feed The Plants: The Thing From Another World Behind The Screams: The Editor Rec: Hollow Tales Of Terror: The Field Guide To Evil Picnic At Hanging Rock: Ginger Snaps Back Devil Made Me Do It: Lucifer's Women

I wish I would have filled out more squares after I got a bingo. I definitely would have checked off a few, but didn't feel like editing so I gave up. Next year I need to just use a red x or fill tool. Otherwise, I had a pretty solid year. A few stand outs (neon demon, titane, vhs 94, personal shopper) and only a couple of outright stinkers (counting Halloween Kills in that category) And honorable mention to Christopher Walken's performance in Communion.

Yea I hate to say it but Halloween Kills ended up being a bummer for me this year. I did a whole marathon through the series, finally added Halloween 4 and 5 to my blu ray collection it was a solid week of celebrating the Halloween series and I wanted to like Halloween Kills really bad but it just didn't happen.

Conversely I not only loved it but in the build up to it I watched Halloween 6 twice. Both versions. And I think when I was done I was a little let down that I couldn't top that fun the rest of the month and I chased it with Paranormal Activity.

Recapping my wrap up to make it easier for Fran. Managed 135 watched with Spooky Bingo covered card. I probably could've done more but that work thing that I mentioned in Discord happened. What really worked for me this time was predominantly sticking to a particular range, in this case 70s and 80s and diverging for the Spooky or if I really wasn't feeling sitting through my range. It kept things fresh if that makes sense, compared to the Challenge I watched nothing but streaming films and made it through what then must've been every scarecrow movie on Prime. I really liked the Spooky Card, it leaves things flexible for how much one wants to participate. I will admit to getting warm fuzzies when after I reviewed a movie and seeing others review it. That's why I list where a film's streaming so if others want to give it a try, they know where to go and not worry about going to some sketchy site. I did finally finish getting all my past reviews up on Letterboxd, though I think I'm missing one of the May Challenges. Interestingly, there's still some significant movies I've missed out of doing for the Challenges so I'm getting an idea where to go on the next Challenge. Surprise kicker is when I spoke with my boss about my 'horror discussion group', he right out said if I need a different schedule to make it to streams/gatherings to let him know and they'll shift my schedule for it. God I love working with fellow movie nuts. All in all, this was a fun go with Scream Stream. 1)Malignant 2)The Empty Man 3) Candyman 4) Absurd 5) Blood Spattered Bride 6) Whiskey Mountain 7) The Child 8) House of Black Death 9) Uncle Peckerhead 10) Wacko 11) Camp Wedding 12) Carnivore 13) Fatal Games 14) The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh 15) Dunwich Horror 16) Season of the Witch 17) Cauldron of Blood 18) The Man who Haunted himself 19) Dear Dead Delilah 20) Silent Madness 21) Fear in the night 22) Superbeast 23) The Bat People 24) Haunting of Julia 25) Seizure 26) Fear Street Part One: 1994 27) Fear Street Part Two: 1978 28) Fear Street Part Three: 1666 29) Haunts 30) Dominique 31) Don't Go to Sleep 32) No Place to Hide 33) Madhouse 81 34) Zombie island massacre 35) Virgin Witch 36) The Invasion of Carol Enders 37) vhs 94 38) the haunted house of horror 39) Day of the Reaper 40) Evil Judgmen 41) Invitation to Hell 42) Mongrel 43) The Forest 44) Boardinghouse 45) Early Frost 46) The Spell 47) The Cyclops 48) silent rage 49) tunnels 50) Symptoms 51- wolfman 2010 52) Tower of Evil 53) death by invitation 54) Alison’s Birthday 55) The Corruption of Chris Miller 56) the prey 57) the void 58) The Woods 59) Scarehouse (Hausu) 60) Raw (Femme Fatale) 61) Queen of Black Magic Something Wicked This Way Comes 62) queen of black magic They Always Come Back 63) psycho goreman Spaced Invaders 64) Up from the depths 65) a cold night's death As Seen On TV 66) legend of the werewolf Full Moon 67) demon witch child The Devil Made Me Do It 68) legacy of satan 69) rigor mortis 70) crucible of horror 71) Grandmother's Farm A Perfect Getaway 72) Spontaneous Combustion Starring Brad Dourif 73) anthropophagous 2000 To Serve Man 74) Book of stone Origin of Evil 75) Little Otik It's Only A Myth 76) Flora - 2017Picnic At Hanging Rock 77) Godzilla vs. Biollante (1989)Don't Feed The Plants 78) gonjiam haunted asylum Asylum 79) Ghost Stories Tales of Terror 80) The Disco Exorcist Scream, Queen! 81) Đoạt Hồn Rùng Rợn 82) A Page of Madness Salomé 83) Rise of the Zombie डरावनी 84) Mr Boogedy/Bride of Boogedy Don't Torture A Duckling 85) Hocus PocusMasters of Horror 86) Halloween Kills Holiday Massacre 87) the ghastly ones Video Nasty 88) Kuso Horror Noire 89) Class of 1984 Punk Vacation 90) Extraordinary Tales Tales of the Grotesque 91 short cuts challenge 92) Prey Dead & Buried 93) Doctor Sleep Based On The Novel 94) Room 237 Behind the Screams 95) Doom Video Games Cause Violence 96) Gallows [REC] 97) Countdown fear dot com 98) Bats Wild Beasts 99) The Jitters 100) Mass Hysteria 101) Clown Murders 102) Cameron's Closet 103) Slaughter Studios 104) Ghoul School 105) Killer’s Delight 106) Mr. Jones 107) Navy vs the Night Monsters 108) Monster from Green Hell 109) Crazed 110) Monstroid 111) Blood Rage 112) Sketches of a Strangler 113) Dream No Evil 114) The Meateater 115) Don’t Go Near the Park 116) Mardi Gras Massacre 117) Edge of the Axe 118) Next of Kin 119) Don't Be Afraid of the Dark 120) Deadlocked 121) What Became of Jack and Jill 122) devil dynamite 123) House on Sorority Row 124) Victims 125) Legacy of Blood 126) The Severed Arm 127) 30 nights of paranormal activity with the devil inside the girl with the dragon tattoo 128) Murder by Phone 129) The Demon 130) Death Screams 131) Mountaintop Motel Massacre 132) They Remain 133) Fantasies 134) Sledgehammer 135) Bloodstained Shadow

^^^ KS deliveries have already begun and should finish this month. After that it will be on their web store, so you haven't missed anything much.Franchescanado posted:Wow that rules. Good on you, Jedit, for doing this. No sweat, I only got the code because I mentioned in their Discord that I'd watched 50 movies in October and they were impressed. So it wouldn't be there to offer if not for you running the Challenge.

 Spooky Bingo • Tales of TerrorThe House of the Dead • Streaming • 2.5/5 A pretty run of the mill, preachy horror anthology. The ending is so predictable it might have been more interesting if it hadn’t happened that way. Filmed entirely on location in Oklahoma and also known by the alternate title “Alien Zone.” The film effects at the end of the first segment were pretty unique, so I guess that was my favorite. The overall setup was pretty unique I think - standard someone lets you in out of the rain, and now you’re stuck listening to them, except this individual just has a casket room in his house. (I have no idea why our main character didn’t leave at the point he entered this room though.) Spooky Bingo • Don't Feed the PlantsLittle Otilk • Rental • 4/5 I think I initally found out about this movie through a clip of the baby, Otik. The stop motion and general theme grabbed my interest, so I’m glad I was able to pick up a rental copy. The stop motion fit Otik perfectly - since he’s a tree stump, there’s no uncanny valley to really duck into, so you can focus on how weird this little creature is. He’s a cute little dude when he isn’t engulfing everything. At the beginning, the daughter (Alzbetka) was kind of irritating, but as the movie continues and we shift from the Horak’s view to her view, she becomes charming and kind of sweet. I think there’s a broader theme somewhere in there about life and responsiblity how children end up, but that’ll have to stew for a while before I can put it into any real words. So in the meantime, this was a cute spooky film perfect for Halloween. Spooky Bingo • Video NastyDon't Go in the Woods • Streaming • 2/5 In which a bunch of dipshits go into the woods for “survival training” only to get macheted to death by the world’s jingliest wild man. Various other woods adjacent people (such as day hikers and hippies) are also slashed to pieces. Who knows how long this guy has been doing this, because he has quite the drivers license collection. There’s a vague plot to this film, although nothing makes sense until Craig dies because then they have to look for him. Some of the shots in this are well composed and technically competent, but I feel like those were happy accidents. In the same way, there’s a baffling but interesting transition between day and night where a wheelchair hiker is beheaded by the wild man. (He only shows up in like 3 shots, and only exists to continually fall over.) When he’s beheaded, it’s clearly dusk because you can see him, and as the camera follows his head + body falling down the mountainside it becomes night with only visible silhouettes. This would be neat if not for the baffling implication that this guy has been rolling down the mountain for at least an hour. There’s goofs to laugh at, but they weren’t planned to be goofy. And at the end, they explicitly unravel a loose end by showing a victim’s unattended toddler playing in the woods with an axe.

Spooky Bingo • Femme Fatale The Night Visitor 2: Heather's Story • DVD • 1.5/5 Darthemed tricked me into watching this by having me pick a square from the spooky bingo. Somehow, this has a worse plot than The Night Visitor. It at least manages to keep pace better than the previous, but to no real effect. And with a cop-out non-ending, I’m mostly just confused as to why this was made? There’s not enough focus on any one character to feel connected to anyone, and it’s connected to the previous film by the vaguest threads. Once again, the funky 90s arcade music that plays over the end credits is the best part of this movie. At least it was a union production? Spooky Bingo • Holiday MassacreCandy Corn • DVD • 2.5/5 After a series of very 80s flicks, I was so happy to watch something shot with good technique and not in 360p that I was able to ignore how bare bones the plot of this movie is. I feel sad for Jacob because he’s taken advantage of the whole movie, even by his new “family”. The small town atmosphere was very accurate to me because I’ve been in tiny rural towns like that. (A church I went to for a year was pretty much exactly like the setting, except there were no black people I’m relatively certain.) It’s really unfortunate that the plot lost as much steam as it did along the way, because I’m pretty much always down with a “freaks fight back” plot beat. I feel like the background characters all did an excellent job (like Fox, who was legitimately shaken at seeing more murders in that one day than he’s probably seen in his life.) The soundtrack was good, the shooting was good, it was fine from a technical aspect. I just wish they had a better plot to go with it. Spooky Bingo • Indian Horror FilmPizza • Streaming • 3.5/5 This was cute and funny. At first I was pretty annoyed with our main character because he acts like a real piece of work, but once he gets his act together he’s pretty lovable. The gags were well executed and I really liked the way some shots were framed (like when they’re putting together the pizza to bake.) I’ve never seen a movie before where they… cut back to the beginning to reveal that a whole different plot was actually happening? So that was weird to me. But it wasn’t a bad ending. Spooky Bingo • Rung RonHouse In the Alley • DVD • 2/5 This started out really strong, with a truly heartbreaking miscarriage. Than and Thaoh are already having a hard time going through such an awful experience, and it’s compounded by the ever-pressuring MIL who hates Than and constantly calls her son to complain about something. Than starts hallucinating as she slowly returns to daily life… and things slowly go down hill from there. She’s possessed, but only kind of? There’s some spooky noises? The scariest thing is how willing Thaoh is to go out on the slippery tile roof in the middle of the night to look for mystery rumbles. The spookiness escalates but it’s so weird and disconnected that it’s more a series of events than a plot. Smack on a “that house burned down 20 years ago” at the end and you’re good to go on your beach vacation. The actors clearly have a lot of potential, the script just wasn’t really up to par with them. Spooky Bingo • AsylumGonjiam Haunted Asylum • Streaming • 4/5 I heard a lot of good things about this so I was really excited to watch it, and I think it held up. I really liked how they set it up as a livestreaming web show. I was unclear on exactly when the stream cut out in relation to what we were watching, but that's probably just because I'm a dumb American. The weird fish eye effect of all the go-pro cameras added a nice weird aura to everything, and it also made all of the scenes with anything (or one) behind the characters extra intense. Kind of in the same vein as Grave Encounters, which I also really enjoyed. Spooky Bingo • REC"Shirome • Streaming • 3/5 God loving dammit this was so loving annoying because no one told the poo poo head producer/agent/creep (seriously, secretly videoing a bunch of high school girls?) to gently caress off, even though the whole expedition is clearly such a reckless (and pointless imo) idea. Where are these girls parents?! The way it was set up made some of the initial confounding factors easy to call (of course the loving rear end in a top hat ghost storyteller with his loving boombox guy is easily possessed and I think if the actual priest is telling you something is a bad idea you should maybe stop? The apparition effects leave much to be desired, but they didn't really take away from the final product so just something mildly silly to chuckle at in the moment. Interesting how this interacts with the group's actual history, and provides an interesting out for the girl who it sounds like just didn't really want to be in the group anymore. gently caress that agent, eat poo poo and die from your fuckin graffiti curse shithead.

Frick, the musicals thread reminded me of the Christmas zombie musical Anna and the Apocalypse which I wish I had remembered to recommend for the "watch a movie set on a holiday" challenge.

Now you know what to watch for the next October Challenge since there's usually a challenge about watching some horror happening on a holiday.

FINAL GIRL CONTEST Overall this was a pretty good year. Watched a lot of things. More than I expected actually. Not everything was great but I didn't watch anything I regretted spending time on. Even Slugs had some really cool effects to save itself from the horrible acting and boiler plate plot. Biggest highlights were probably Def by Temptation and Cast a Deadly Spell. Next time I am going to try to watch a more international crop of films and maybe keep things a bit less 80s focused as films from the 80s made up almost half of what I watched and I didn't watch anything released earlier than 1968. I also still have a lot of films on my list that I wanted to watch this year but didn't get around to or couldn't find a copy of (Images, Kwaidan, Penda's Fen, Skull: The Mask, to name a few) 1. Rawhead Rex (1986)  2. Basket Case ( 1982)  3. Edge of the Axe (1988)  4. Fear Street 1994 (2021)  5. Fear Street 1978 (2021)  6. Fear Street 1666 (2021)  7. Yokai Monsters: 100 Monsters (1968) AKA 100 Spookstories  8. Yokai Monsters: Spook Warfare (1968) 9. Def by Temptation (1990)  10. A Warning to the Curious (1972)  and Curve (2016)  11. Laurin (1989)  12.Slugs (1988)  13.The Woman in Black (1989)  14.Dýrið (2021) AKA Lamb  15.The Lure (2015)  16. Four Flies on Grey Velvet (1971)  17. Crimson Peak (2015)  18. Strangler vs Strangler (1984)  19.Dead and Buried (1981)  20. Raw (2017)  21. Cast a Deadly Spell (1991)  The gifs for the two Yokai films don't seem to work. I watched them on the Arrow streaming service which, understandably, doesn't seem to allow any sort of screen capture and I'm not clever enough to circumvent it. FINAL BINGO:
