    Yes, the points thing plus... I always count the Vinegar Syndrome documentaries but, at the same time, I always say if I tie with someone those would be "removed" or at least not counted.

    Here are the unofficial official results. Please let me know if I skipped your list or got something wrong. I can say that the official winner this year was BobO'Link and his kick ass total of 138 (I believe the "point" total was higher). Thanks to all who participated in the greatest month...

    For years Sean Cunningham said he hadn't seen TWITCH OF THE DEATH NERVE even though parts one of two of F13 ripped it off. He finally came clean. I'm honestly not sure if anyone involved with ALIEN ever came clear to have at least seeing IT! THE TERROR FROM BEYOND SPACE.

    IT! THE TERROR FROM BEYOND SPACE is a film that never gets talked about enough. It's as if ALIEN fans want to keep it a major secret or something lol

    I plan on jumping in. It might take a couple days but I've got a Kino set here as well as just about everything that has been shown on Noir Alley this year! Looking forward to it.

    INFINITY POOL, MEGAN, TALK TO ME, THE BOOGEYMAN and several others from this year were on my list to watch but it's not gonna happen. Oh well, maybe next year! I take off work every Halloween just to stay up late watching horror movies and watching them throughout the day waiting for the kids...

    It's never too late to watch horror films so welcome! Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (1943) **** Larry Talbot (Lon Chaney) goes to track down Dr. Frankenstein in hopes of finding a way to die but instead he runs into the monster (Bela Lugosi). I'm sorry but to me this is a 4-star...

    Inn of the Damned (1975) *** Set in Australia during the late 1890s, people are checking into a remote inn but it seems they disappear from there. This Australian film clocks in at 117-minutes, which is way too long for this type of film but the picture actually works rather well. I thought...

    Shaun of the Dead (2004) *** Finally.... I'm still kind of confused why I never bothered watching this a lot earlier but it finally happened. I thought the majority of the jokes worked and I especially liked the two leads as their best friend relationship just reminded me of certain people...

    I think my favorite part of THE CURSE OF HER FLESH was during the final fight you can see Roberta Findlay sitting on the truck. At least, I'm pretty sure that was Roberta there. I haven't listened to the commentary yet but I don't think I noticed her the first time I saw the picture.

    I remember watching HOCUS POCUS when it was first released and hating it. I then remember the movie going away and I must admit that I was shocked to see how many people loved it later in its life. My wife is obsessed with it as are my daughters. I actually enjoyed the sequel more.

    The Legend of Lizzie Borden (1975) *** Elizabeth Montgomery plays Lizzie Borden in this made-for-television story of the infamous murders. I'm not sure why I didn't watch this one sooner but I found it to be highly entertaining on many levels. The director handles the drama and horror...

    Psycho Paul's Film Festival (1990) * 1/2 This SOV film is about a director who is showing clips to his various horror films. I tip my hat to anyone who goes out there and actually makes a movie. This SOV film isn't one that I enjoyed but I really liked what the director was trying to do with...

    Haha, I mentioned that extended magic show over at Letterboxd. I'm shocked they included it and didn't just use it as a separate movie! And you're right about the 4K BLOODSUCKING FREAKS. I'm really curious IF the film ever looked that good and if it currently looks too good because it...

    Hayride Slaughter (2001) ** 1/2 I love Tina Krause. In this W.A.V.E. Production, Krause plays a psychic who is investigating a hayride where several people have gone missing. If you're not familiar with this company then it's best to watch the documentary that came out a few years ago. This...

    Haha, yeah the title is a little mis-leading. They're not rabid and they're actually aunts and not grannies! When I wrote my review I actually recommended people to fast forward through the first 45-minutes and just watch the second half.

    I agree that CRAWL was wonderful fun and one of the best of its type. I also agree on THE FUNHOUSE. I've never been a big fan of that one even though I do love the slasher films of this era.

    Today was a purely accidental day. I watched a documentary on Flemish horror films and then went and watched three of the films mentioned in it. Forgotten Scares: An In-Depth Look at Flemish Horror Cinema (2017) *** 1/2 This 99-minute documentary takes a look at the Flemish horror market...

    The Legend of Bigfoot (1976) * 1/2 One of the countless documentaries that followed THE LEGEND OF BOGGY CREEK. This one takes us to the Northwest where Ivan Marx tells us about his attempt to track and photograph the creature. At just 74-minutes, this film seems longer than GONE WITH THE WIND...

    I love the lists on Letterboxd and I love it even more when people post links on where to watch these lesser-known films. The Super Madman (1937) * 1/2 A group of doctors fear that their doctor buddy is doing dangerous experiments and they're correct! He has created Frankenstein-like monster...

    I went and saw KISS last night and I'm heading to Bob Dylan here in a few so I didn't get too much watched. My son has some sort of obsession with war movies and exorcism movies so that is what determined the first film. Prey for the Devil (2022) ** Possessions are on the rise so the Catholic...

    Night of the Big Heat (1967) ** 1/2 A small town is suffering from extreme heat during the off season and they soon realize it's just getting hotter and hotter. Turns out that aliens have landed and are playing with the high temps. I'm going to guess that the majority of the budget went to...

    The Beast with Five Fingers (1946) ** 1/2 A concert pianist with one good hand changes his will and dies that night. Soon, those around him start dying and people fear it's the pianist's hand doing the deeds. This is yet another re-working of Orlak and for the most part, it's decent. Robert...
