Is anyone else getting stoked for October yet? Does anyone have an idea of what they what to watch? Do you have anything saved for it?

I know there is still three weeks to be exact to the kick-off of The October Challenge, and I know that there is a challenge underway, but I am starting to look forward to this years challenge. Time flies and it waits for no man. However, it is not just the challenge - I like this time of year, when the evenings are shorter. Leaves are falling and Autumn is calling. It is good for TrashEpics too, a sharp increase in activity is inevitable - hopefully activity will be prolonged.

Anyway, I usually put movies aside especially for it. Movies that I haven't had a chance to watch, or movies that I keep putting off, for one reason or another. I already know what I will be watching this year as it saves from rushed choices and ultimate disappointment. I have a nice mixture of old and new movies, from foreign, to obscure and hyped horror lined up. It allows gives me the opportunity to explore some directors filmography that I may have not seen to others in which I am concluding their filmography, to watching some Asian horror movies I have not seen before. I usually don't bother with re-watches - I usually just watch first-time-views instead. Anyway here is my list for anyone interested:

You can feel the chill in the air here. We had an unusually hot summer this year, so it is nice to get back to normality. That is nice that you can impose the traditions on your nephews. You will see Halloween decorations around the shops, but it is not what it is like in America. It is considered much more of a holiday over there. It is a shame really.

There may be some good horror movies on TV. I hope anyway - you would think there would be for the season that is in it.

There will be a lot of users who haven't been very active the last year returning. Hopefully, we will find a way for those to stick around. Maybe, it is just me but I have found the last few days there has been a more relaxed atmosphere here.

I dislike the really hot weather. I like the sun as much as the next guy, but not when you are melting in it. I wasn't built for the really hot weather. Hopefully, that Autumn chill will arrive shortly for you.

I like to plan, Ballz. It saves the last minute rush on what to watch.

That would be a nice goal to reach.

You have a diverse list of titles.

I really enjoyed:

The Brood (1979)
Cat People (1942)
Cat People (1982)
The Changeling (1980)
Dead of Night (1945)
Diabolique (1955)
Freaks (1932)
Ghost Story (1981)
Hellraiser: Hellseeker (2002)
The Incredible Melting Man (1977)
The Keep (1983)
Messiah of Evil (1973)
Pin (1988)
Race with the Devil (1975)
Resolution (2012)
The Sect (1991)

There are some there that I have seen an yet to see. I need to watch:

Bug (2006)
The Cell (2000)
Effects (1980)
Happy Death Day (2017)
Hellraiser: Revelations (2011)
Hellraiser: Judgment (2018)
It Came from Outer Space (1953)
The Living Dead Girl (1982)
Paranoiac (1963)
A Quiet Place (2018)
Requiem for a Vampire (1971)
Sssssss (1973)
Them! (1954)

Hopefully, I may watch a few of these before the challenge starts.

Oh, I most definitely will. Since I am pretty confident that I will like them - I have ordered The Eye Trilogy (by Tartan Video), Dark Water, and Shutter. So they should arrive well in time for the challenge. I have Pulse on hard-drive.

I have hear a lot of good things about the TV version of Ringu. A lot of people who have seen it seem to love it. It only has 187 votes on IMDb. So it is intriguing.

Yeah, I haven't seen a lot of these foreign extreme horrors. I figure that October is a perfect time to. I own them all on DVD so I will be watching them early in the challenge.

I was just looking to see what movies Shudder has. They have a pretty decent selection. I remember a month or so ago, The Horror Channel ran a night dedicated to Shudder. They showed It Stains the Sands Red 2016 among others. They have a few Asian movies, but I am holing out for the challenge to see them. Of what they have, these movies interested me the most that I have not seen:

Amer (2009)
Baby Blood (1990)
Apartment 143 (2011)
Blue Sunshine (1977)
Death Walks at Midnight (1972)
Digging Up the Marrow (2014)
Hell House LLC (2015)
I Sell the Dead (2008)
Jug Face (2013)

I think you have the right approach to it, Markus. I mean it is suppose to be a bit of fun. It is not fun when you are watching over a hundred...emoticon

Yeah, I know... emoticon

Here is the Asian horrors I have seen. Ranked and rated:

Tetsuo, the Iron Man (1989) 9
Ju-on: The Grudge (2002) 8
Audition (1999) 8
Ringu (1998) 8
Thirst (2009) 8
Noroi: The Curse (2005) 7
Three... Extremes (2004) 7
A Tale of Two Sisters (2003) 7
Ringu 0 (2000) 7

As you can see I haven't seen many Asian horror (I have seen more non-horror movies such movies from Yasujirล Ozu, Akira Kurosawa, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Kar-Wai Wong, Chan-wook Park among others) but for the most part I liked what I seen. I still want to see the obvious ones like Dark Water, The Eye 1 &2, Pulse and Shutter.

I would say that was one fucked up Christmas emoticon Yes, I remember Shaza, it is such a shame her and others have left us. I don't know how we can get them back..

Thanks for the recs. I just ordered Ju-on: The Grudge 2. I look forward to it. Yes, when I was looking through some Asian horror movie lists - Cure (1997) kept popping up as a must see.

I was actually looking through what Asian horror I have on my external hard-drive and DVD collection (I have a couple of thousand movies so it is hard to remember) yesterday and I also have these. I have no recollection of buying or downloaing any of these emoticon

Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust (2000)
Noriko's Dinner Table (2005)
Ichi the Killer (2001)
Strange Circus (2005)
Gozu (2003)
Visitor Q (2001)
Suicide Club (2001)
Naked Blood: Megyaku (1996)
Infection (2004)
Ringu 2 (1999)
Shogun's Sadism (1976)
Grotesque (2009)
The Manster (1959)
Red Room (1999 Video)
The Guinea Pig movies on hard-drive (although I have seen a lot of them.)
I Saw the Devil (2010)

Yes, I will have to watch Onibaba (1964), Kwaidan (1964), Kuroneko (1968) and Hausu (1977). I might save those and the above-mentioned for your challenge.

(to try and get Troma to watch more subtitled films emoticon)

emoticon I look forward to the challenge. It will be nice to watch all these acclaimed foregin horror movies aroun Christmas.

That is a nice list of re-watches an FTVs. I have seen a few of those. I liked:

Mill of the Stone Women (1960)
The Crazies (1973)
The witch who Came from the Sea (1976)
The Stuff (1985)
Demons 2 (1986)
Carrie (1976)
House on Haunted Hill (1959)
Zombie Flesh Eaters (1979)
The House by the Cemetery (1981)
Burial Ground (1981)
Death smiles on a Murderer (1973)

I want to watch some of the old ones like:

Mr. Sardonicus (1961)
Homicidal (1961)
The Night Walker (1964)
The Tingler (1959)

Recently, I have been in the mood for films from that era like Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1964), What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962), Nightmare (1964), Castle of Blood (1964), The Oblong Box (1969), Premature Burial (1962) and Eye of the Devil (1966) which were all great imo.

The good thing about movies from these periods is that they set a certain mood, an atmosphere that seems to have lost once we got into the 70s. Okay that's just my feeling and I do love black and white cinematography certainly on gothic time pieces.


I know what you mean. Movies from that time relied more on atmosphere and story-telling - they weren't soley about gore or nudity.

All of them are from master of gimmicks William Castle. Even though he is mostly remembered for those gimmicks so a very good marketeer, I think he was a very competent filmmaker in his days.


I was going to watch William Castle's 13 Ghosts (1960) but it seems more on the comedy side. Would that be correct?

I was also going to watch The Raven (1963) by Roger Corman - but that one seems it is more comedcy than anything. A shame really cause I like Edgar Allan Poe stories.

Is there any good scary movies that you have seen from the sixties that you would recommend? I know you have a good knowledge of this era.
