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!

I think you may have miscalculated Oct 3 total minutes, Zombie emoticon Should it be 353 instead of 253? emoticon

What were your thoughts on Frankenstein: The True Story? I am considering watching it for the challenge. I have heard it is one of the best Frankenstein movies out there.

Thanks, Foz! Yeah, i thought it was great.

I seen all those 'House' movies yesterday. Good series..

My health isn't great at the moment, so i have nothing but time on my hands to watch movies.

I noticed you seen 'Til Death' - i thought it was beautiful, really liked it but I have odd taste that way.

Another good result for both Wales and Ireland tonight with Scotland drawing - so all permutations are all out. It is just a straight winner takes all. As an Irishman, I really can't see us wining tomorrow. I expect yee to win tomorrow. I will be very shocked if we were to do it - very shocked! I expect a 2 nil win for yee tomorrow. Mark my words. I will eat my hat if Ireland win. We can't expect to do well if Shane Long is playing - not a striker who hssn't scored in 40 odd games, in such an important game.

Wales 2 - O Ireland. Ireland start off well but Wales more clinical!

I don't think you'd like it, Foz! I like this month - after this challenge I will probably not want to see another horror movie for a good while!

Thanks! I seen Let's Scare Jessica To Death, I liked it, but it wouldn't be as great as Messiah Of Evil. I am a fan of Vampyres (1974). I actually seen The Iron Rose (1973) for this challenge, and while I really liked it, it had a weird vibe to it - the ending especially was bizarre. Good choice!

I have never seen Fangs of the Living Dead (1969). This looks good. I see it is from the guy who directed The Blind Dead series. I also noticed I own a copy of it, even though I have never heard of it before. It was included in one of those Mill Creek sets.

Cheers!

Thanks! I seen it - great film!

I seen Malatesta's Carnival of Blood (1973) for the challenge, and it was awesome, it reminded me very much of Messiah. You should check it out if you haven't emoticon

I just seen Valerie and Her Week of Wonders today. I immediately thought that this a a film that Johan would like - fantasy, strong young female protagonist, fairytales etc. I may be wrong but I think you weren't a fan of it? emoticon
