Sep '18
Is anyone else getting stoked for October yet? Does anyone have an idea of what they what to watch? Do you have anything saved for it?
I know there is still three weeks to be exact to the kick-off of The October Challenge, and I know that there is a challenge underway, but I am starting to look forward to this years challenge. Time flies and it waits for no man. However, it is not just the challenge - I like this time of year, when the evenings are shorter. Leaves are falling and Autumn is calling. It is good for TrashEpics too, a sharp increase in activity is inevitable - hopefully activity will be prolonged.
Anyway, I usually put movies aside especially for it. Movies that I haven't had a chance to watch, or movies that I keep putting off, for one reason or another. I already know what I will be watching this year as it saves from rushed choices and ultimate disappointment. I have a nice mixture of old and new movies, from foreign, to obscure and hyped horror lined up. It allows gives me the opportunity to explore some directors filmography that I may have not seen to others in which I am concluding their filmography, to watching some Asian horror movies I have not seen before. I usually don't bother with re-watches - I usually just watch first-time-views instead. Anyway here is my list for anyone interested:

I've only got a handful of titles in mind to watch, and I also like to put emphasis on first-time viewings. As much as I've seen, there's still so much stuff I haven't seen. I tend to go with the flow of whatever's streaming or whatever new releases come out, and mostly whatever is discussed on this site, of course.
I've said this before, and I'll say it again. I'm all up for any ideas on how to make this year's challenge and environment as good as it can be. Easter eggs, color schemes, whatever.
