I'm thinking Demons is a nice start to the month.

 

i will probably start of the first week on just slasher films, 3-4 a day.

it will be really hard for me, October always is, Halloween Parties, going to Haunted Houses, State Fair, Six Flags Fright Fest. it will be tough, but i think i can manage it.

 

Ah, nice avatar vampyr!

 

Yeah totally same here aye!

 

Dr. Herbert West's Perfect Prescriptions For October:

10/01 | Scarecrows (1988)
10/01 | C.H.U.D. (1984)
10/01 | Alone In The Dark (1982)

 

Yes! Can't wait. Best time of the year!

 

...one...more...day...:banana:

 

For those of you who want to revisit your last year's list , here is the 32-page thread from 2007, also started by maskull.

 

Looking over that thread again, I am struck by just how much better last year's fall releases were compared to this year. Was that was the ultimate release line up? Quite possibly.

Regardless, I am all set to make this a great October no matter how "eh" the release schedule is.

 

Of course I am in! Not sure what I will start with... but it will probably be something with Vampires since I love vampire movies.

 

it was a great Oct 2007, for sure. Do we have an Oct 2008 Releases compiled somewhere?

 

I know 10/28 alone is pretty heavy:

Assault! Jack the Ripper (1976)
Beyond, The (Uncut) - Remastered Special Edition
Fascination (1979)
In the Folds of the Flesh (1970)
Patrick (Australian Extended Version) - Special Edition (1978)
Pieces - Special Edition (1982)
Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead - Eggs-clusive 3-Disc Collectors Edition (2006)
Strange Behavior - Special Edition (1981)
Syngenor: SYNthesized GENetic ORganism - Special Edition (1990)
Thirst (1979)
Zombie Strippers - Unrated Special Edition (2008)

Synapse will blow their full load of Elite acquisitions. Plus Grindhouse finally makes an appearance.

 

If any of you get a chance do take the time to track this film down. It's one of my favorites and I'm sure some of you would like it allot. It's a really good murder mystery kind of sort of horror. Have any of you seen it?

 

In addition to these, I think we have some good releases coming out in October:

Psycho: Universal Legacy Series Special Edition
Vertigo: Universal Legacy Series Special Edition
Exploitation Cinema Double Feature: Mausoleum/Blood Song
Ghost House Underground 8 Film Collection
Sweet Sixteen: Director's Cut
Beetlejuice (SE) (Blu-Ray)
Halloween: 30th Anniversary Box Set

Granted it can't touch last years releases, but not that shabby.

Nothing but a bunch of re-releases this Halloween season.

 

I got an early start to my Month Long Horror/Halloween Marathon.... I actually woke up and watched the first movie right at Midnight!

My Goals for this Marathon:
- Watch at least 1 horror/Halloween Movie or TV Show Episode per Day through-out October
- Beat Personal Best Total Movies (84)
- Beat Personal Best Total TV Eps. (34)

Here I will be listing what all I watch and will rate each show between 1 and 5. The titles I put in Bold is titles I have seen for the very first time.

Movies:

Oct. 1st:
1. Shadow Zone: The Undead Express - 4/5
2. Embrace of the Vampire - 2.5/5
3. Fright Night - 4/5

TV Episodes:

Oct. 1st:
1. Masters of Horror: The V Word - 4.5/5
2. Tales from the Crypt: The Reluctant Vampire - 3.5/5

 

Kicked off my holiday viewing with a midnight showing of Phantasm...kinda tired at work today...haha. Cheers to October....

 

Movies I plan to watch this year:

the Friday the 13th series, the Nightmare on Elm Street series, a few Halloween movies, my entire Argento collection, try to watch all the Masters of Horror films/episodes, and many others.

 

I think you will be the one to beat this year! I'm pretty sure last year I remember being in awe of how much you watched as well.

Also, that's a good idea how you set up your lists, would you be terribly upset if I stole it off you, and organized what I watch the same way?
