October Horror Movie Marathon

I stopped watching tv tbh. I feels betterer for it.

Army Of Darkness 1992.

Ash is transported to 1300AD, where he must do battle with a army of the dead and retrieve the Necronomicon book to return back to his original time.

This was a bit more comedy than the horror from the previous films and still lives up to the evil dead series. It has it's quirky moments and good comeback quotes. The special effects with the skeletons are like the ones from 50s-60s stop motion era still effective. Ash now armed with his army and chainsaw and broomstick. Never fails to entertain. Shop smart, shop S-mart.

Splatter (2009)



Roger Corman presents a film by Joe Dante, starring Corey Feldman and Tony Todd... No, don't get too excited.

By the time I sat down last night I was too tired and it was pretty late so I didn't want to watch a full film, but I also wanted to keep the October Horrorthon going, so I cheated a little with this short film I found on Netflix. I really wish I had just taken the night off

Corey was good as the rock-star who shot himself in the head and comes back to kill his wrong-doers at a wake/will reading, but everything else about this short is amateur hour. I think the cast members must have entered a competition and the prize was do star in a Roger Corman movie

Dreadful, avoid...

I agree to an extent as most general modern stuff is garbage, although i do find the odd gameshow such as 'the chase' enjoyable if i'm in the right mood.

I usually check through film 4 etc weekly to see if anythings on, 'Get out' is on channel 4 on Saturday so i'll catch up with that as it's a new one i've not seen yet.

Also 'Talking Pictures' on Channel 81 is worth having a look at if you like older stuff, 'Old Mother Reilly meets the vampire' is on there Saturday, a Lugosi film i've never seen.

It's my go to channel at the moment.

Although i've never watched a whole film on Talking Pictures i've certainly watched more of it this week than any other tv channel put together. If something intrigues i generally watch until the next ten minutes of ads for Fred Olsen cruises come on then turn off.

I sometimes look to see what the Horror channel is showing - usually the horror of all horrors that is Star Trek - then turn that off too. I've never watched anything on Horror since it joined Freeview.

Terrifier (2016)

A feature length return of the crazed Art the clown, first seen so brilliantly in All Hallows Eve (2013).

Low budget most certainly but a hell of a lot better and sicker than it could have been. Although Art is a great character the film really lacked anyone to root for in the good guy / gal adversary stakes. Having said that, when you've just seen good old Art saw a naked girl hanging from the ceiling completely in two in graphic detail then who cares?

The Hazing (Dead Scared) (2004)

A wildly entertaining straight to video Halloween spectacular that riffs on Night of the Demons but in my opinion has better acting, better characters and comes over in an even more fun way. An effortless watch with Tiffany Shepis in an sprayed on skin tight silver catsuit. What more do i want? Brad Dourif as a satanic professor - yup got that as well.

One of my fave Halloween horrors.
