In preparation for Halloween, we intend to average one horror movie per day in October. We're not quite making pace at the moment, but we plan to go see a late movie tonight, and then we'll only need 13 from Sunday through month-end. Our taste ranges from well known to ridiculous to fairly new and obscure, and I'll try to say something about those falling in the latter category:
2. (& 3?) Ernest Scared Stupid (We're debating counting this as two.)
3. An American Werewolf in London (If you haven't seen this, you should. It's probably in my top ten horror movies of all time, and that's saying a lot. What it lacks in terrifying it makes up for in funny, nontraditional, and overall fun to watch.)
4. Lake Mungo (Evan fell asleep during this, but I thought it was scary. It's about girls and ghosts, or something, so he probably would have hated it anyway.)
5. The Last House on the Left
6. Jason Goes to Hell (If you haven't seen this, keep it that way.)
7. The Burrowers (Weird movie about monsters who live underground and attack frontiersman.)
8. Creepshow
9. Zombieland (You've probably already seen this, but if not, it's a lot of fun.)
10. Ghost Busters
11. Shaun of the Dead
12. Tales from the Crypt (Not a movie, but we watched a bunch of episodes, so we're counting it.)
13. Inside (A French gore movie. One of the goriest movies ever, if you're into that sort of thing.)
14. The Omen
15. Tales from the Hood
16. Shrooms (Terrible, but extra funny since I went to high school with one of the actors in it. I didn't know that going into it.)
17. Deadgirl (Extremely weird and creepy movie about a couple of high school losers who find an weird, naked, hot undead chick in an abandoned mental hospital and turn her into a sex slave. Antics ensue--but don't think that means this movie is funny.)
18. Paranormal Activity 2
19. House on Haunted Hill (original)
20. Frankenweenie
21. Vincent

Re Shrooms: Is his name really Bluto?! Would you recommend this to fans of RH's previous work?
ReplyDeleteYes, his "character" is named that. I would recommend it if you're a RJH III fan, but (spoiler) I warn you, he's not "around" for the whole movie!
ReplyDeleteAnd how was PA2? I.e., did it provide some scares?
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, the first one really scared me. Had I not gone to the theater to see part 2, I would have been scared. Having a girl eating chicken wings next to me while her boyfriend talked on the phone about how stupid the movie was, kinda ruined the terror.
ReplyDeleteI won't lie to you though. I jumped a bunch and squeezed all the blood out of Evan's hands. I will watch this again, in the comfort of my living room. I think it's scarier to watch these movies in your own house anyway. Just hearing the AC turn on will make me assume I am being haunted.
i know there are a lot of haters out there, especially among my friends who consider themselves horror connoisseurs, but i liked both of the paranormal activity movies a lot.
