Final tally was 88 movies with 46 of them being first time viewings.

Yup, also it will give me more time to watch bonus material and listen to audio commentaries. Another advantage with only watching 31 movies is that it will allow me enough time to watch other movie genres during the challenge.

I didn't start this "Scary Movie Challenge" until October 10th. My final film tally is 88 movies with 46 of them being first time viewings. See my summary for film grades with the movies in bold being first time viewings! 87) Kongo (1932) (DVD) 3.5/5 Stars Talk about a strange Pre-code film...

My final tally will be 88 as I have one more title to go before tonight's deadline. That would average out to 4 movies per day, since, I only participated in the Challenge over the last 22 days of October. Next year, I'll start on October 1st, but my goal will be 31 titles as that would give...

I'm going to get my Covid Booster shot this morning, but before I do, I have watched two movies so far today. See my summary for film grades. 85) The Strange Door (1951) (Blu-ray) 4/5 Stars Leonard Maltin didn't like this movie and only gave it a 1.5/4 film score. However, I love me some...

Today, I watched four movies that I have never seen before today. I'll update this post later on with my thoughts on each film. Edit: Updated with some thoughts! See my summary for film grades! I started this Challenge on October 10th. So far, I've watched 84 movies with 43 of them being my...

See my summary for film grades! 75) The Mummy's Tomb (1942) (Blu-ray) 3/5 Stars A sequel to "The Mummy's Hand" (1940) in which the two heroes/Dick Foran & Wallace Ford from that 1940 film are murdered 30 years later for revenge by the Mummy with the murders taking place in America. IMO, an...

I just watched that movie for the first time today and gave it a film grade of 4.5/5. A terrific film with one of Karloff's best performances. The same with Henry Daniell. TBH, this film kind of shocked me. I can't believe I have never seen this movie beforehand. However, I have no memory...

I’ll be watching my 4K disc this weekend.

I'm going to keep my comments for each movie short today because I'm not in the mood to expand on my thoughts. See my summary for film grades! Right now, I've watched 74 movies with 36 of them first time viewings. Not bad, since I didn't start participating in this "Scary Movie Challenge"...

Last night, I watched three more movies. Two of them I'm very familiar with including my favorite "Frankenstein" movie from my childhood. The third movie was a first time viewing, though, I've been well aware of this movie for several years. I think I caught the ending of the film once on...

I agree with you that the 1941 version is too long which is why I didn't finish it this morning. Another thing, I always enjoyed the performances of the 1931 female leads more than Bergman and Turner in the 1941 version.

Right after midnight, I watched the 1920 & 1931 versions of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" on Blu-ray. Shortly before going to bed this morning I started to watch the 1941 version on Blu-ray too, but felt tired so I went to bed. Anyhow, I just finished it up a few minutes ago. My film grades are...

My fourth film today viewed on Blu-ray was "The Invisible Woman" (1940). See my summary for film grades! 64) The Invisible Woman (1940) (Blu-ray) 2/5 Stars I didn't know this was going to be a straight out comedy instead of a horror movie. What's worse, it wasn't really funny to me...

Today, I watched three movies for the first time. I'm watching another movie tonight. Anyhow, after watching 63 movies so far in this "Scary Movie Challenge", I have now watched 31 new movies that I've never seen beforehand. See my summary for film grades! 61) Night Key (1937) (Blu-ray)...

I must say that J. Carrol Naish in "The House of Frankenstein" and Onslow Stevens in "House of Dracula" were excellent in those two movies. The Blu-ray video presentations from the 2017 "Dracula Complete Legacy Collection" box set are very good. I wish both had audio commentaries. I think...

See my summary for film grades! I'm too tired to write up anything about "The House of Frankenstein" and "House of Dracula" which I viewed again on Blu-ray. Both films are not as good as the Universal films made in the 1930s. With that said, both films are still entertaining to me just like...

Tonight, I'm watching two more movies that I've previously watched beforehand. However, this afternoon I watched three "B" 1940s horror movies that I've never seen before today. I really liked one of them. Another one I was lukewarm towards while the third movie was just plain awful. See my...

See my summary for film grades! Another favorite of mine from my youth. 55) The Uninvited (1944) (Blu-ray) 4.5/5 Stars Last night before going to bed, I decided to watch another classic horror film "The Uninvited" (1944) starring Ray Milland, Ruth Hussey, Gail Russell and Donald Crisp. It's...

This afternoon, I revisited two more favorite "Horror" films from my youth that I used to watch on an old Black & White TV with my siblings, usually my older sisters which I got kick out of scaring during these movies viewings because we usually watch these two movies at night in our darken den...

I watched two more movies this morning. See my summary for film grades! 51) Dracula's Daughter (1936) (Blu-ray) 3/5 Stars I know I've seen this movie before, but I have very little memory of it. The movie takes place just after Von Helsing/Edward Van Sloan kills Dracula with a stake through...

See my summary for film grades! 49) The Crawling Eye (1958) (DVD) 4/5 Stars I love this movie! It's one of those movies from my childhood that still holds up well today for me. Sure, the special effects are awful compared to what they can do now, but 50+ years ago, I thought they were great...

I had time for two movies today. More to come about them later on.

This will be the only movie I watch today due to NFL Sunday Ticket.:)

That DVD is 21 years old as this title does deserve a Blu-ray upgrade.

45) X...the Unknown (1956) (Blu-ray) 3/5 Stars First time viewing this movie which left me a little disappointed once the great reveal happens. I was a little letdown as it reminded me of the "The Blob" which was probably stolen concept-wise as to how the Blob should look from this movie, since...

Since childhood, The Crawling Eye is a personal favorite movie of mine despite the awful special effects. My last viewing was back in 2018, so I'll be revisiting it again in the next several days.

Movies in bold indicates first viewing. 10-22-22 45) X...the Unknown (1956) (Blu-ray) 3/5 Stars 46) Invisible Ghost (1941) (Blu-ray) 3/5 Stars 47) The Spider Woman Strikes Back (1946) (Blu-ray) 2.5/5 Stars 48) Tarantula (1955) (Blu-ray) 3/5 Stars

I actually watched the original "Terror Train" in a rundown movie theater. That was back when I was more into Horror movies than I am today. Not a good film that I resisted buying the HD digital last week for $1.99 or $2.99 from either Vudu or iTunes. I have no desire to ever revisit that...

I'm too tired to write something up now after watching six "Horror" movies today plus a couple of other "non-horror" movies. I'll edit my last two posts on Saturday after getting some sleep. See my summary for film grades! Edit: 43) The Thing from Another World (1951) (Blu-ray) 5/5 Stars...
