October Horror Movie Marathon

[Demdike@Cult Labs]

This is tempting but it's a bit too much of a deviation from the sort of thing i like to watch in Hallowtober.

That’s fair, I’ve only managed to do it once myself. Last year I was on holiday and only managed to watch around 10 films and the time before that I was also quite rubbish at keeping up.

I’m going to see if I can pull together a list of possible films from the criteria above. However, I’m quite prepared to sack it off and play it by ear! Let’s see what happens, only a few weeks to go now.

If you fancy joining in the original link is https://letterboxd.com/cinemonster/l...er-and-ms-dee/ you can leave a comment on his list and he'll add your profile with all the other people taking part!

That sounds like a challenge, without using letterboxd i will post up the reviews here

[Dave Boy]

I usually do a Halloween Challenge elsewhere, but can do it here this year.
I can't do extensive reviews of what I am watching and it would have to be a hit and run post of what I am watching as when I am working I don't have the time.

[nosferatu42]

I decided to have a go at making a Hooptober list based on the guidelines set, don't know if i'm going to actually do it as i'm always a bit random with my film watching.
I kind of cheated with the Hooper film as he shows up in Sleepwalkers so thought that'll do.

Still, it's a list of films i own and wouldn't mind watching ( or fancy rewatching at some point.) so you never know.

Carlo Rambaldi

This name im not too sure maybe i have heard of the name and old age creeping up on me, can anyone jog my memory and help me out with a few film titles associated with the name

[Dave Boy]

Carlo Rambaldi was a special effects and creature designer for films like, ALIEN, ET, CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, KING KONG 1976 and horror films like BAY OF BLOOD and DEEP RED.

[nosferatu42]

Google or imdb it, the special effects guy who did E.T, Possession, Dune, Alien etc.

[MrBarlow]
