Title: Spook-tober
Post by: Medic_wheat on October 06, 2017, 03:41:36 PM
It’s that time of year.  This October I plan to round out some gals in my horror movie library. Which to be honest is 90% devoted of horror.

Blu-ray wish list for this year

-night if the creeps (heard a new Blu-ray came out but forget the name of the company. They did the new release of the 80s animated transformer movie last year)

-gremlins 1

-goonies (pirates it’s basically Halloween)

-werewolf in London/Paris

-the son of the blob (the 80s color movie)

-and lastly something recommended by you all.


I could make a Halloween movie list for ages but I feel if I trim it down to just a few each year I’ll actually buy the dang movie and watch/re-watch it for the current Halloween.

Looking for what ever passes for the cleanest transfer with best version of movie.

I don't do a ton of horror movies.  I just dont have the time.
Halloween is my favorite time of the year, though.  Nothing beats a New England autumn.
I built an 8' scarecrow last year that I need to take out soon.  Lately, I've been buying picture frames at thrift stores and printing off old fashioned halloween photos for them.

I have tons of stuff I hope to watch, I’ll end up watching 2-3.

I am definitely seeing Night of the Living by Dead RIFFTRAX at local theatre a t the end of the month.

My 13 year old daughter has never seen any zombie films, so this is a great intro (the humor is what convinced her, since she love RiffTrax of Dr. Who 5 Doctors).

The bluray of The Mist includes the black and white version (the director never wanted it to be in color).
Black and white makes the crappy monster cg look a lot better then in color.  Really powerful movie.

I have an anti-recommendation.

Cult of Chucky.
I was so disappointed in this one, Curse was really an enjoyable watch.
But Cult was just not fun to watch as a Chucky movie, a horror movie, or as a general suspense movie (which is what it was really trying to be)

I am unfamiliar with this. Sounds explanatory enough. Some sort of full moon (the film company behind puppet master?) app or sub that lets you watch their back log of films?

I use to own the dvd which also had a copy of it in black and white. I remember enjoying it in black and white more then color. Despite having seen it in color in the theaters.

I also remember spending most of my jr year in college on the internet in the schools computer labs (back when internet was not so common) and just poor over he screen stills for the movie and think how I couldn’t wait to see it when released.

I wasn’t disappointed.

Maybe you’re thinking of Slither? Shout Factory put out that Transformers movie and recently they released Slither on BD but I don’t know of any new releases of Night of the Creeps since the Australian one last year. When I saw Night of the Creeps on your list I was going to recommend Slither anyway, they’d make a great double feature.

Yeah, pretty much gives you access to everything Charles Band has ever done. If you're a fan you should check it out:

I wish Troma Now was available on Amazon. My horror dreams would be fulfilled.
