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.

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

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!

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

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.
