Limping into the finish, here's my final list. I ran out of steam about half way through the month. Official 8th Annual HTF October Scary Movie Challenge Totals 1. Cult of the Cobra (1955) 2. Hillbillys in a Haunted House...

I've had no time to write any comments on the movies I've watched over the past week or so. Instead, I'll just list them with my rating and update my overall list. 10/14 - Curse of the Fly (1965) - 1/2 10/14 - Weird Woman (1944) -...

10/13 - The Screaming Skull (1958) - 1/2 - The definition of dull. I'm not talking ordinary dull - I'm talking watching grass grow dull. There are great stretches of the movie where nothing happens. The screen could have gone blank...

Rated on a scale w/ first time viewings in RED: 10/12 - How to Make a Monster (1958) - - There's just something about How to Make a Monster that never quite works with me. As a horror movie, it fails. There's nothing here...

Rated on a scale w/ first time viewings in RED: 10/11 - The Mad Monster (1942) - 1/2 - There’s not much to recommend here. Zucco’s fun as the mad doctor, but beyond that you’d be hard pressed to find anything that resembles...

10/9 - Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy (1955) - - If you had asked me what my favorite movie was when I was about eight years old, chances are I would have answered Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy. I couldn't wait for this movie...

10/8 - Son of Dracula (1943) - 1/2 - My personal favorite of the Universal Dracula series. If possible, it gets better and better each time I see it. A lot of people seem to want to focus in Chaney’s physical suitability to play the...

10/7 - I Was a Teenage Werewolf (1957) - - Despite what I consider to be a ridiculous name, I Was a Teenage Werewolf is much better than I ever expected for a Teen Angst / Horror movie. The IMDb rating of 3.9 is way too low. It's a...
