31 Nights of Halloween - The Horror Movie Club

[chvrchbarrel]

Use this thread to post horror movies you're watching this month and trade recommendations. Here's a general format to follow if you'd like to turn this into a challenge for yourself:

The October Horror Movie Challenge

RULES:
1. Must watch 31 horror movies in October, cuts off at sunrise on November 1.
2. You define what a horror movie is. Silence of the Lambs unsettles me. I count it.
3. A "movie" must be 65 uninterrupted minutes or longer. Long-form, but self-contained, television shows can count. (Example: an episode of Masters of Horror can count. A season of American Horror Story cannot.)
4. At least half of the films that you watch must be first-time-views.

Feel free to claim a post for your running list, and contribute to discussion / etc. as we go on. I don't think there's a need for two threads (lists / discussion).

And if you have your own challenge ideas / rules, feel free to post those too!

I will do this after I do my personal calendar but it seems silly to let one person pick 31 movies out of hundreds and then subscribe to all of their choices

counterpoint: its fun to talk about the same movies with people.

[sthubbins]

Haven't plotted out my month yet, but as mentioned in the other thread I'm kicking off with Devil's Backbone. The same theater has Cabinet of Dr. Caligiri, Nosferatu, and three Argento movies on the schedule so I'll likely hit at least one of those.

2. Hellraiser
3. Hellbound: Hellraiser 2
4. Carnival of Souls
5. Scream
6. Society
7. Sisters
8. The Descent
9. The Birds
10. The Omen
11. The Invitation
12. Satan's Slaves
13. Eyes Without a Face
14. The Howling
15. Day of the Dead
16. The Wailing
17. Ganja & Hess
18. Night of the Living Dead (rewatch)
19. Audition
20. Trouble Every Day
21. The Dead Zone
22. The Fog
23. Castle Freak
24. Black Christmas
25. Nosferatu

Fair enough. Coming soon!

[irvred]

The Wailing and Train to Busan are both still on Netflix I believe. I recommend both although Busan is more action-y than straight-up scary.

[irvred]

The Host is also Korean, ya old racist Wretched.

adding Gran Turino to my list

[teekoh]

There is a 0% chance that I watch 31 movies over the next month, much less 31 horror movies. I do appreciate the list of films, though, as odds are I'll watch 2-3. Probably start with The Babadook this weekend.

[chvrchbarrel]

The original post has been updated with a calendar you can follow if you wish to only use streaming services. I know not everyone has all of these, but the films are also popular enough that you should be able to "obtain" them should you wish to stick to this.

If you get a 2-week trial of Shudder starting on the 17th, it will take you through Halloween.

[rango420]

Thanks chvrchbarrell

I'm gonna generally try to follow that with just replacements on movies ive seen multiple times/have seen and dont like/have seen recently.

Also opening weekend Halloween.

[goodson]

oh i'm so fucking in on this

i have a schedule ready to go but would be fun to discuss a lot of the same movies with u guys

Society appears to be on Amazon Prime and as it already appeals to so many boarders, we will offer it as an alternative for Friday's selection - another Amazon Prime selection, Nosferatu.

[thebosma]

Some really interesting movies that will probably be fun for your horror challenge that not everyone has seen/have only recently been restored.


AMAZON PRIME:

Island of Death (featuring a fun and dumb soundtrack)
Forbidden Zone (Danny Elfman plays the devil and sings Minnie the Moocher)
Contamination
Coherence


SHUDDER:

The Beyond
A Tale of Two Sisters


Films that I don't know how you can find only that you should:

Phantom of the Paradise (Early DePalma, completely amazing and hilarious. ALSO for those of you who aren't into horror films/have a SO who isn't into horror films, this is ideal.  Captures the spirit of the season but it isn't scary and it's also an amazing musical)

Blood for Dracula
Flesh for Frankenstein

(These are the two Andy Warhol X rated horror films. They're dumb and hilarious and completely over the top)

[zircona1]

I started watching this last night. It's over 3 hours so I may watch it in parts. There were a few scenes I saw as a kid that creeped me out. I got this through DVD on Netflix.

[rango420]

How is Halloween (and I guess Goosebumps 2) the only horror movies coming out this month? How'd they fuck up this bad?

[irvred]

Doesn’t the new Suspiria drop or is that limited release?

[rango420]

according to imdb it comes out the friday after and from what ive heard they amped up the drama and down teh horror for the remake,

im talkin' bout dumb fun horror tho.

[chvrchbarrel]

Goddamnit theres a showing of Evil Dead II downtown at 7 tonight

i shouldnt go i shouldnt go i shouldnt go

[wanny]

Train to Busan would be my recommendation if people haven't seen it
