#1 The Shuttle 4/10----For me the movie did not hold my attention. There where a few good gore scenes, but the bad guy was not believable.

#1 The Shuttle 4/10---Oct. 1st


#2 Laid to Rest 6.5/10--Oct. 2nd----I enjoyed this film for what it was; a slasher type flick with some original kills.

Oct. 1

1. Mothman Prophecies 5.5/10
2. Haunted World Of El Superbeasto 7/10


Oct. 2

3. Circus Queen Murder 7/10
4. Witchboard 3/10
5. Sleepwalkers 4/10
6. Children Of The Corn(1984) 6/10


Circus Queen Murder was a lot of fun, a pre-code Horror/Murder-Mystery set in a circus. A little bit like an old dark house film but in the circus. You’ll get to see cannibals, voodoo dolls, a public suicide and a manic Dwight Frye.

Kevin Tenney's Witchboard is not nearly as much fun as his Night Of The Demons.

I remember seeing the trailer for Sleepwalkers as a kid and finding it creepy, I didn't find it very creepy but it was better than expected but that's not saying a lot.

Children Of The Corn was a film I always thought I'd have little interest but I enjoyed watching it despite a few "why not just leave the creepy town" moments.

THE INVASION OF THE VAMPIRES Vampire action south of the border, down Mexico way. This is the one where the vampires rise from the grave with the stake going through their chests but coming out near their waists about a forearms length further down from where they should be...and some of the LOOPIEST dialogue K. Gordon Murray EVER stuck on a movie...

Invasion is one if the Gordon Murray's I haven't seen yet, though they are always fun and sometimes pretty good, like The Witch's Mirror.

Glad to see others in on this!!!

I am going to ask a stupid question Mr. Scratch. What do you mean by number my list? Like 11/10, what does that mean?

I mean put a number next the titles of what you watched, like if Halloween is the fifth movie you've watched put 5. by it. That way everyone can keep up with how many movies everyone is watching. Like myself, I have watched 6 films so I listed the day I watched them and what number the movie was on my list.

Oct. 1

1. Mothman Prophecies 5.5/10
2. Haunted World Of El Superbeasto 7/10

Oct. 2

3. Circus Queen Murder 7/10
4. Witchboard 3/10
5. Sleepwalkers 4/10
6. Children Of The Corn(1984) 6/10


The number some are doing after titles like the 11/10 is the rating of how good they think the movie is out of 10.

I hope this helps. Maybe I should have explained it a bit better, sorry.

2. A Nightmare on Elm Street

I am with it now.

Movies watched in October so far.......

1. Sleepaway Camp II
2. Brainscan
3. Wicked Things
4. Rosemary's Baby

I forgot to do my "wild card" *

5. (*) Martha Stewarts Halloween Special (fln 9:00am this morning)

Oct. 1st
1. The Shuttle---4/10


Oct. 2nd
2. Laid to Rest---6.5/10


Oct. 3rd
3. Halloween Remake 5/10. I went back and revisited this movie. Surprisingly enough I have downgraded this movie from the first time I watched it. I found this flick to have a minuscule scare factor as well as some needless nudity. The brutality of the kills was the only thing holding me back from downgrading Zombies rendition even more.

3.THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI (1920) Gramma's fave horror film. Used to tell it to me as a bedtime story at winter break. Now you know how it all started.
4.) ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN Maybe their best film. Love the scene where Lou sits down on top of the monster and is JUST holding it together, not wanting to admit what he has done.
5.) NIGHT OF THE GHOULS Ed Wood lost this one when he couldn't pay the developing fee...a semi sequel to BRIDE OF THE MONSTER.
6. THE WALKING DEAD. Boris Karloff is brought back from the dead by Kris Kringle??? Yup, the guy who was on Miracle on 34th Street plays the doc who revives Karloff after he's wrongfully fried for killing a judge...then the revenge deaths start.
7.) ZOMBIELAND Wood is great, and there is even a credit for 'the Clown Zombie'.
Seen but not added: The first two chapters of THE RETURN OF CHANDU...
