John, Thanks for running the Challenge this year. Revised totals: Films = 58 Television episodes (1.0 hours) = 16 Television episodes (0.5 hours) = 39/3 = 13 Total items watched: 115. This total is up seven (from 108) because my list includes three days on which I watched two episodes of Dark...

"Is everyone satisfied this year or is there something you feel you missed or want to focus next year?(older films, newer films)" I would have liked to have watched more first-time viewing films, but sometimes it's just safer to re-watch several films that my children like/love rather than to...

This was a fairly successful Official Annual HTF October Scary Movie Challenge for me this year. I watched more films and more television episodes than before. I believe that I'm fairly close to having reached my limit on what I can watch per month. I plan on watching several more...

Aaron and Russell, Ooops -- my error. Thanks for the clarification. :)

^^^ Yeah, it's not the greatest work from a literary standpoint (which wasn't my point, as you can hopefully glean from what I wrote above). But it is easily the most frightening work I've ever read. Only a couple of works of Poe that I have read rival it as far as generating genuine fear is...

"I think this is one of the best horror movies ever made. Even 38 years later it still hasn't lost its power to terrify. Though we've become desensitized with alot of what is available nowadays back when I saw this in the early 70's it was pretty shocking material. Though I think reports of...

Bob, The film is one of my favorites, and I greatly appreciate the music. I'd say it's one of my favorite musical scores. :)

October 17 Films: Games (1967) Return To Halloweentown (2006) Games is a nice little gem that I first saw when I was about ten years old. I'd recommend this one for some thrills. It has a nice atmosphere to it -- a bit quirky, dark, and at times, somewhat chilling. Don Stroud makes (I believe)...

October 16 Films: The Shining (1980) The Changeling (1980) Although I own The Shining on DVD, I decided to watch the edited version shown on TNT yesterday so that my children could watch the film as well. I think the opening Dies Irae is one of my favorite instrumental versions of the familiar...

Travis, Nice tidbit there. I like those kinds of things, and I'd definitely sit in those seats and watch the film if I lived nearby. I might even let someone call me 'Mootch.' ;)

Russell, Radioman, Okay, thanks. I was curious if it was a bomb, or actually quite good. :)

October 13 Films: The Blob (1958) The Screaming Skull (1958) The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) I've never seen the remake of The Blob. For anyone whom has seen it, is it any good? Television episodes: The Avengers ("Castle De'ath") (1965) This one is one of my favorites. I hope to get a few...
