I had more first timers than anyone so "I" won. :P You should get a medal. Fun thing is you watched most of the VS/OCN titles before me so I had an idea of what I was getting into from your Letterboxd haha

Thanks for tallying this up Michael! This is the highest I've ever come in. Mostly due to having a bunch of extra time off work owed to me lol. This was a ton of fun, I'm already looking forward to next year.

Here's my final wrap up. Full list is HERE. I think that link should work. 131 Movies total, no TV. 115 First time Watches. Favourite New Discoveries: Totally Killer (2023), Bad Biology (2008), Video Diary of a Lost Girl (2012), Infinity Pool (2023) Most Disappointing: The Boogeyman...

I wrapped up the night with a trio of favourites. I'll post my final tally round-up later. 129 10/31 It! The Terror from Beyond Space (1958) 4/5 Revisited this one and it’s wild how little it gets talked about these days, aside from ALIEN remixing it. Even without that connection it’s a hell...

Same, I'm going to bite on that 4K disc I think. I watched it streaming. I've liked all of Cronenberg Jr. films. He's becoming a favourite of mine.

Having a movie time-out to watch the door so here's where I'm at. Hoping to get in two more classics tonight. This afternoon I ran mostly newer films. I think I've watched more films from 2022/2023 this challenge than I have all year! 124 10/30 Insidious: The Last Key (2018) 2.5/5 This one...

There's more Insidious movies than I thought, and apparently I only watched the first two before. 120 10/29 Insidious Chapter 2 (2013) 3.5/5 This one was better than I remember it. A sequel that actually builds on the original film, and cleverly adds context to it which is a neat trick. It...

Every year in these final days I start to feel lost on what to watch haha. I realized this challenge I haven't really watched a horror series, so I decided to give Insidious a run since it's been ages and I'm not sure I watched the third one, much less the brand new one. Aside from that, I'm...

I think you're right. She certainly does some narration, I'm sure that's her voice. I plan on listening to the commentaries after the challenge. November is special features catch-up month lol. I really liked this set. I missed out on the Something Weird dvd back in the day so there were really...

I may have to track down that Demon Murder Case movie. Just as a curiosity. 108 10/26 The Touch of Her Flesh (1967) 3/5 Sleazy sexploitation finds director Findlay starring as a guy who’s mind cracks after he finds his hot wife cheating on him. He vows to make all women pay. It’s not quite...

I'm sure it looks like it's supposed to, I don't think it's a case like those Chaplin films where they removed so much grain you could see things you weren't supposed to. The gore never looked good, it's basically Herschel Gordon Lewis level doll parts with the orangey red paint blood haha. The...

I admit it feels as close to a real movie compared to other WAVE productions that I have seen, but the pacing didn;t work for me. 20 minutes of carny magic show killed it and it never recovered. If not for tina Krause it wouldn't have been watchable at all haha. Her interview on the disc is...

As I too make my way through the Vinegar Syndrome package of the month, I should have followed your advice! 98 10/24 Mother’s Day (1980) 3.5/5 Another one I managed to somehow avoid all these years despite being a little horror fan as a kid. Finally getting to it, I’m surprised how hard it...

Smallish update since I went to the IMAX of Killers of the Flower Moon. I'm not counting, but I will say I don't think a film has ever hit me as hard as this one managed too. damn 95 10/24 The Majorettes (1986) 2/5 Bog standard 80s cheap-o slasher that’s most notable for the “Night of the...

Got in a bunch today. Letterboxd said THE UNHOLY THREE is a thriller and mentioned horror in the genre tags despite it being more a crime film, so I'm counting it as I was tricked. Chose to watch it to pregame that Criterion FREAKS set that arrived today. 89 10/23 Pet Sematary: Bloodlines...

I managed two more last night. I can see why some people would absolutely hate Skinamarink. 87 10/22 Children of the Corn (2020) 2/5 The simple truth about this franchise is none of them are really all that good, the first film is fine but even it isn’t a homerun. This one tells the story of...

I'm a big fan of all of Edgar Wrights films, even those where he botched the endings a bit haha. Shaun of the Dead is one of his best. Got in a bunch and finished the dreaded Warner Archives Horror/Mystery set that's been an albatross around my neck. I'm glad I got it for 50% off back in 2011...

Not a bad day considering the amount of house chores I had 79 10/21 Evil Dead (2013) 3.5/5 Rewatched this one for the first time since seeing it in the theatre and liked it more. It’s the unrated cut, and I don’t think the gore helped as much as me having not seen anything “Evil Dead”...

Got a few more in yesterday. Also starting today I'm off work until after the holliday so hoping to get more in. Also keeping an eye on here to see if anyone includes Killers of the Flower Moon since I got tickets for Tuesday afternoon at the imax haha 76 10/20 Mystery House (1938) 2.5/5 A...

I hear you on this. Tracy absolutely kills this one dead with his non-stop patter. Made me appreciate David "The Bland" Manners in his horror roles. Better to be forgettable than annoying. I got in three last night, including another from that Warner Archive "Horror/Mystery" set and it wasn't...

I'm running out of things to force my mom to watch in the evening and thinking of making her watch these, but I'd have to read the cards out loud which would be really annoying if there's too many of them haha. As a result, I'm revisiting the Warner Archives "Mystery & Horror" double feature...

I remember when this came out and all the hype was Marvel has a horror universe. No they don't. I didn't hate it, but it missed the mark and it felt cheaper than whatever CGI crazy animal film on tubi is playing right now. I have zero interest in watching the color version, it will probably look...

I plan to eventually haha. the only thing I'm more behind in watching than movies is tv series.

I'm a huge Evil Dead fan, or I thought I was. I haven't seen the TV series lol. I plan on re-watching the remake to pre-game Rises this challenge. I may give that House of Usher show a watch too, make my mom watch it since she saw a couple of his other series. Got in two last night. "Tormented"...

Got in a couple more yesterday. One was a trick, but I'm counting it. 066 10/15 Scream VI (2023) 3.5/5 Not as good as SCREAM V, but not as bad as I was lead to believe. This franchise always had its head up its ass, never really making sense. This one continues on from V and did a good job...

Got in three more since my last update. Two fun ones, one awful one. 063 10/14 From Beyond the Grave (1974) 3/5 Anthology film from Amicus features four stories of varying quality, which is typical for the studio. The first two are pretty good with some atmosphere and in the second fun casting...

A trio this afternoon. 060 10/14 The Last Horror Film (1982) 3/5 Joe Spinell channels his “Maniac” character in this one as a taxi driver obsessed with an actress who heads off to the Canne film festival to make a stalker movie with her. It never reaches the seedy heights of MANIAC, but it...

I got the disc from Vinegar Syndrome. I'm a subscriber. I got in two tonight. I watched the wrong Friday the 13th film for Friday the 13th since my copies of the main series are packed away. 058 10/13 The Woman in White (1948) 3.5/5 Gothic thriller finds a young artist arriving at an estate...

Considering how ropey most SOV is, this one really impressed! Hope you like it if you get it. Got in two more last night: 056 10/12 The Vampire Bat (1933) 3.5/5 Fun pre-code finds a village under siege with nightly murders that appear to be coming from a vampire. Admittedly this one is a bit...

Fun fact: I don't think I've seen any of the Puppetmaster franchise films. Maybe I should? I liked "Video Diary" so much that instead of watching more horror movies I got bogged down watching the short films on the disc before realizing what I was doing. I'm only including the horror-adjacent...
