Rosemary's Baby A 10/31 Finished off the month with a classic. This movie still holds up and works today. Very creepy and unsettling, though not as much as the first time I saw it. 2005 Scary Movie Challenge: New titles in bold 1. The Innocents A 2. Bay of Blood C 3. A History of...

Alone in the Dark C 10/26 Other than great over-the-top performaces from Jack Palance, Martin Landau and Donald Pleasence and an unexpected twist towards the end, this is just an average '80s slasher. Saw 2 B+ 10/28 I'm still not sure if I like it better than the first one. It has much...

The Cat and the Canary B 10/23 Creepy and atmospheric "old dark house" movie, but I was bored for the majority. The killer's identity was very obvious. The Nameless B- 10/24 More of a thriller than a horror movie. Only a couple of "Jacob's Ladder" inspired dream sequences creeped me out...

Satan's Little Helper C- 10/15 Has a great concept, but the script and acting ruin it. Amanda Plummer tries too hard to act eccentric, and the little kid is extremely annoying. The movie is fairly short at 95 minutes, but the lsat act seems to last forever. The final scene, though predictable...

Wallace & Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit A- 10/10 This was my first Wallace & Gromit film and while I didn't think it was amazing, I had a lot of fun. It has plenty of jokes for both children and adults, as well as subtle horror film references. Overall, an enjoyable Halloween film, and...

2005 Scary Movie Challenge: New titles in bold 1.The Innocents A 10/1 Excellent and atmospheric ghost story with some truly chilling scenes. 2.Bay of Blood C 10/4 Other than Bava's great hypnotic style and the kill scenes, this was boring. If nothing else, it was fun to pick out the...
