Board 8 > It's almost time for my October Horror Movie Marathon

(+) Yeah! (+)

Hey all, we're about two weeks away from October, which means I'll watch entirely too many horror movies. I figured I'd make a post to ask for recommendations for what people think I should check out, from any era of horror. In the next post, I'll be posting all of the movies I've watched the last two years. It's a lot. But I won't be re-watching any of them! But before that, I'll go ahead and post what I'll be making sure to ensure I watch.

The Midnight Club (TV Series)
Prey
Orphan
Orphan: First Blood
Smile
Channel Zero: Butcher's Block (TV Series)
Slasher: Guilty Party (TV Series)
Terror Season 2 (TV Series)
Hellraiser (2022)
Halloween Ends
Prey for the Devil
Watcher
The Haunting of Hill House (TV Series)
Scream Queens: Season 2 (TV Series)

And probably others depending on what is available on streaming next month. Feel free to suggest anything else I haven't had in this list and the list in the following post!

The Worst:
fear dot com - 0/10

Shadow of the Hawk (1976)
The Bad Seed (1956) (then you can watch the 2018 Bad Seed remake and sequel to the remake The Bad Seed Returns that just released this year!)
Slugs (1988) (can stream on Tubi)
Phantasm (1979) (obviously just a fun classic!)
Scarecrows (1988) (can stream on Youtube)
Session 9 (2001)

I constantly swear I'll watch Session 9 these past two years and always forget about it somehow and end up watching some goofy shit like The Hole.

There's nothing wrong with some good ol' goofy shit though!

I would like to recommend Incantation 2022. Taiwanese found footage horror. Reminds me of The Medium.

Oooo I did hear of that one and wanted to check that out!

Oh, The Hatching landed on Hulu. Definitely watching that one next month.

X
Crimes of the future
The fly
Videodrome
Barbarian (it's in theatre right now, if you're so inclined)
The host

Saw X and Barbarian! I think X was outstanding stuff and Barbarian was an entertaining trip. I may rewatch if they pop on something come October. Been a minute since I saw The Fly.

Crimes of the Future I didn't end up getting a chance to see, so if I find that I'll definitely watch it. Videodrome is also something I wanted to jump into. And I assume you mean the Korean The Host, which I would love to watch as well!

I will only watch this if it promises to explain how this movie was actually as awful as it ended up being.

It's the only horror movie I've watched for this where it has no redeeming qualities. I can at least say maybe one kind of nice thing about the 0.5 movies but this one is just wretched.

Think I recommended this before, but One Cut of the Dead. It's more horror-themed than actual horror, but I would go in blind if possible. It's on Shudder.

One week!

I was reminded of this because of the Twilight Zone marathon on SyFy. It's where a lot of my love of horror came from.

Wow, they do the marathon at this time now, I didn't even know.

well, I think it's more that they have a "flashback friday" thing where they marathon different shows each week.

Ah I see. That's pretty neat.

We're almost there! It begins Saturday!

Fingers crossed I can see this next month. Comes out October 6!

I can't believe it's 2 and a half hours. One of my most hyped films of the year!

As much as I love Terrifier, I think 2.5 hours of this is pushing it.

Also, I just realized I'll be at Aftershock that weekend, so it is unlikely I'll see it then. Lol Fingers crossed for early Shudder release!

Welp, just finished my latest show I'm watching, so my work from home Halloween TV show viewing starts up with a show I enjoyed quite a bit:

oh no it lives

Since it's been going around on horror Twitter lately, thought I'd bring up Koji Shiraishi's Senritsu Kaiki Kowasugi Files here, because they look amazing! You should try to watch it if you can.

I'll jot that one down too!

I'll be at a Renaissance Festival on Saturday, so I don't know when I'll make the topic. Might see about making it tomorrow late night. It'll be October 1 on the east coast then at least!

It begins!
