Here we go! Another October Challenge. Second one for Trash Epics, so, we must be doing something right.

So, the rules are: 31 Horror films must be watched during the 31 days of October. 16 of which must be first time viewings. Watch all you want. I sure as hell am, but to count in the end, it's gotta at least be 31 and 16.

This challenge will begin as soon as October begins, and will end at 6 AM November 1st.

No documentaries, no tv shows, just movies to keep things simple. Speaking of keeping things simple, I figure we should just go by IMDb if there is any question as to whether the film is Horror (or part Horror). Just leave me the hell out of it.

And we're going with a 45 minute minimum.

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

Want ideas for recs? Here's last year's thread. https://trashepics.com/post/9/160/

The discussion thread will be up soon.

So, make your spot!

Satan's Slaves is more conventional than The Forbidden Door though. Just letting you know.

Unfortunately it didn't work for me at all, props for the screenplay and the set design but as a horror film completely ineffective and it was actually a struggle to finish it, major let down.

What didn't you like about it as a horror movie? I enjoyed the horror aspects during the first 30-40 minutes, with some nice creepy moments, but the jump scares started to get a little repetitive and predictable after that.. as you say, ineffective.

I agree.. the set design, screenplay, and also the cinematography was all very good. Overall I thought it was a good movie, if not so great a horror movie.

These things are highly subjective as to what you perceive as horrific but it just felt too americanized for my liking they used all the western tricks from the "how to scare the audience" textbook which ended the movie being too formulaic and repetitive, it just didn't fright, i admired the production values more than the actual plot of the movie, which as you pointed out you knew in advance how it's going to unfold.

Indeed, the most common horror "trick" it used, to the point of slight annoyance was: a character is in screen, camera pans down or away to look at something else, camera pans back again.. an apparition suddenly appears behind or in shot!

The ringing of the bell were the only parts I considered genuinely creepy, and as I said, a couple of moments involving the mum early on.
