I was waiting on Matheny to reclaim her place as host, but doesn't look like that's going to happen. So, here goes...

Welcome to the 2017 October Challenge. And for many of us, this is the first one away from the IMDb Horror board, which means it's no longer required to save your progress. So, fuck that no life having little cocksucker that used to make it necessary to delete the OP. Seriously. Kill yourself, whoever you were.

So, the rules, as I remember. To complete this challenge, one must watch at least 31 Horror films in the month of October. At least 16 of which shall be first time viewings. All are welcome to watch and list as many as possible.

No TV shows, no Documentaries. Horror films only.

If you're not positive as to whether or not a movie is of the Horror genre, just use your own judgement. If you feel like there's a little Horror in there, then it counts.

I'm gonna go with 45 minutes minimum for a movie to count.

Challenge begins when October begins, and ends with October ends.

No, wait! if I remember correctly, the challenge usually runs until 6 AM November 1st. So, for anyone wanting to have an all night Halloween marathon, there ya go!

If anyone has any questions or comments... https://trashepics.com/post/9/161/

Remember to list the number of movies/FTVs at the bottom, or it will not be counted in the results thread.

This is the year of trash. And this will no doubt prove to be the trashiest October Challenge of them all!

And this is where you make your spot. Have fun!

It's like the first as we tour more attractions, these are less the haunted house type, but more interactive type places. Porcelain is back, along with other characters like her. But, it's just not creepy like the first. At all.

I picked up the Blu Ray for the first one, and it includes the 2011 documentary of the same name, a producer saw this went to the film makers and asked them to turn it into a found footage film. Interestingly most of the interviews and touring through the attractions is re used in the 2014 movie. And they also end it with them ending up with Blue Skeleton and then the audience not knowing what happens to them. I'm thinking this is what sparked the idea for the producer to see it as a found footage film.

I'd heard a little about the doc they made and the use of actual attraction footage, may invest in the blu ray myself. Shame 2 isnt as spooky, but then as you say the ambiguity of the ending of the first is (presumably) shattered with our gang being alive for this one. gonna watch it anyway and hope the filmmakers continue. They have promise and Houses 2014 shines in a FF market saturated with shitty lazy movies

I think they did a decent job of explaining what happened to the them at the end of the first, and what giets their characters going on another tour of attractions.

Looks awesome. So, have you tried that hocus pocus that summons scantily clad babes from your walls yet? Looks fairly simple. Wish I had known about it years ago.

Doesn't work :(

It's a fun movie. It's produced by and stars Alvy Moore (Hank Kimball of Green Acres), and Burt Mustin makes a cameo. Also LQ Jones (director of A Boy And His Dog) serves as one of the producers.

Also watched Tex Montanna Will Survive!, someone on here said it was horror, it's not, not even remotely. BUT I wanted to watch it anyway because it's from the guys behind The Battery. The fact that Jeremy Gardner carried an entire film on his own, and it was all improved, that is pretty cool. I laughed through the entire thing.

My niece watched it with me, I think she has a crush on Gardner because she ended up watching The Battery and she's not a zombie fan haha

I've def mentioned Tex Montana on here, in context with The Battery. Said it was on youtube and tho i do have a tendacy to be lenient with what i'd consider a horror, even i wouldn't class Tex as such. It is pretty funny and Gardener is a talent to watch. Think I heard he (they) crowdfunded the first two films, be nice to see what could be done on a bigger budget.

Tell your neice to watch Spring, Jezza G pops up as a barfly mate of the main guy, and it's quite a good horror romance with Lovecraftian elements

Yeah, and Tex was released free on Youtube, which is pretty cool.
Very few people could pull off being a one man show in a movie.
These guys are on my watch list for any future projects.

Yep, Spring is good. Also tracked down a copy of The Mind's Eye which he is in.

The Mind's Eye i watched for Turkey challenge last year, was ok if a mess, Larry Fessenden's always great, however fleeting. also has Noah segan who was in another film that year called 'Some Kind of Hate' which has a reform camp/cult commune called... The Mind's Eye!

btw i watched Houses Oct 2 and wa disappointed, had much more of a promotional commercial feel than the first, and as you pointed out, is not spooky at all. plus Porcalain isn't the same actress or mask. oh well
