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.

Count Dracula (TV Movie 1977) 8
The Boogey Man (1980) 8

The worst I seen was Cathy's Curse (1977). It just seemed too much a cheap, badly made rip-off of other classics to me.
