Dr. Phibes Rises Again
 

Just watched Dr. Phibes Rises Again, they missed a great angle by not calling it Dr Phibes Vs Count Yorga.

Tonight's next viewing is the first Stephen King movie of the marathon and as I've already said its one of the few films that still scares the crap out of me.

Think it's been about 6 months since I last watched a movie...or any television, come to that!

Massive hug!!

Tonight's first and probably only viewing is another King title.

Attachment 170855

One of my fave film adaptations of his too. :nod:

It's probably one of the best if not the best Horror TV mini series / movie.if there's time might watch prince of darkness later to celebrate Donald Plasences birthday, if not will watch it tomorrow along with candyman to celebrate Barkers birthday which is today as well

clubbing it
 

Think ill pop out for quick drink at the Monster Club tonight.

Attachment 170858

Watching The Mist at the minute not sure im going to make it to the end its pretty shit so far. I was not expecting what i am seeing here :confused:

:lol:

Whilst I didn't think it quite sunk to the levels of shit, I'm not a big fan of The Mist either, Nordy.

My viewing so far:


I cheated and started my Halloween viewing around the 24th Sep - the October viewing is only from The Frighteners onwards - so feel free to disregard anything before that / spank me with a pumpkin encrusted cricket bat. It's all good to me. :skull:

Did you watch it in colour or monochrome?

It feels like a completely different film in black and white, and Frank Darabont says his preference is monochrome.

I've only ever watched it in Black and White and I think it makes the film, packs in the atmosphere! I love the bleak ending as well.

This is me so far Oct 1st-5th, trying to get some extras in because there are nights when I know I can't fit a movie in due to other commitments.

There have been some duds I won't lie :lol:

I watched the black and white version.

It would be interesting if you watch it in colour in the next few days and see what you make of it. As I said, they feel like different films according to whether it's a colour or monochrome, with the two versions from different eras.

It's almost like the two versions of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, only with exactly the same content!

I will watch it tonight while it's still fresh in my mind . Wish me luck :lol:

Only managed one film so far, the original NOTLD. Still my least favourite of Romero's original trilogy, but still a classic, ruined slightly by the sight of black bars at either side of the picture on the Blu Ray :lol:

You might prefer the colour version!

Hey, I do watch other films too but Creepshow and Halloween are the ones I usually reserve for October 31st evening. I have watched Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell, Twins of Evil, Hands of the Ripper and House by the Cemetery so far this October. ;)

Continuing with films i have not seen before im going to kick off tonight with

Attachment 170892

Watched it last night. Still a classic. Still my favourite film. Great atmosphere, acting, score etc...Not bad for a low-budget TV movie.....and far better than the book, I'm sorry to say!

Wish Warner would hurry up with a remastered Blu Ray

First film of the night

dead evil
 

There dead and evil, and no its not the moderators xmas party video.

Attachment 170895

Tonight's next viewing and one I've not seen before(want too try to watch more films I've not seen in the marathon ). I preferred the American title of harbinger down to this one, noticed this a lot with straight to DVD titles having different titles

I'm tracking my October list on Letterboxd ‎All films tagged ‘october horror’ by JustinMc • Letterboxd

I stopped using Letterboxd ages ago but I used to log all of my films, picked it up again recently though!

It's a good place to start, as whatever you watch next will seem infinitely better imho. :lol:

Attachment 170968

I really like Letterboxd. I get a bit overwhelmed in terms of what goes on there nowadays as the member base has exponentially increased but I find it a great resource to log what I watch, create lists (I'm such a list whore :tongue1:) and to get some juicy film recommendations.
