Nov 2017 *
To some it's a challenge. To others, a competition. But to some of us, the October Challenge is a journey. A journey through the good, the bad, the old and the new of the Horror genre. This was my seventh one, and it shows, as I was very hard up for quality FTVs, especially since I was completely unprepared. But I won't make the same mistake next year.
So, a big thank you to everyone who supported the inaugural October Challenge here on Trash Epics! by far the biggest challenge we've had here, so far.
Goddamn! Always a bridesmaid, but never a bride! At least these days. I actually thought I had this one in the bag for most of the month. But congratulations to Gymnopedie for earning the top spot.

, and I'm gonna try to do more of these puppies in the future.
Of course, I liked Amityville Awakening, Cult of Chucky, Leatherface, 1922, Gerald's Game, Better Watch Out, The Babysitter, but the ones I liked most, I think... Happy Death Day, The Autopsy of Jane Doe, Offspring, and Dude Bro Party Massacre III.
Least faves were The Darkness (Kevin Bacon couldn't save that turd), Creep (I don't think I "get" this movie). That's about it. I hadn't seen much that was really terrible. I tried watching Blair Witch, but it got annoying real quick, so I bailed on it.
