DVDizzy Forum

I have been watching horror movies this month, although I don't think I'll get to 100. There are people over at the DVDAF forums who have already reached 115 or more! I haven't done this since 2006, I had 67 films watched then, although I'm not sure if they were all horror.

I'm up to 40 horror movies for the month, and another 3 non-horror...



I have been using posters for all of the movies at my other forum, but I figured I could leave them off for here... (If you want 'em, let me know.)

lol well, honestly, im not a big fan of Horror movies. My bestfriend, his girlfriend and myself are going to watch some classic horror movies like Nosferatu (that how you spell it?) The WolfMan and Frankenstein on Halloween night.

The night before that, I'm going to watch my idea of a horror movie like Elvira: Mistress of the Dark, Sweeney Todd and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and maybe one of the Resident Evil movies or Beetleguise, but thats as far as I'll go for Horror flicks. Texas Chainsaw is really pushing it for me...and a big HECK NO to someting like The Exorcist!

I also love to watch some of the Twilight Zone episodes during this season. The classics mind you, not the new ones heh.

Yes.

I highly recommend the following (mainly because they're my personal favorites): "A Stop at Willoughby", "The Eye of the Beholder", "The Masks", "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge", "The After Hours", "Five Characters in Search of an Exit", and "A World of His Own".

hmm, I think the only one I've seen is "The Masks" one. Is that the one where the greedy family is waiting for there grandfather to die so they can inherit his will? So he makes them wear ugly masks and by the end of the night their faces take the form of the masks? That one always creeped me out...but that's kind of what they got for being so greedy, the masks made their true faces appear. I think I've also seen "A World of his Own" but I'm not sure if its the same one.
Around 5 years ago, my sister and I watched like a 12 hour marathon of the Twilight Zone episodes on New Years eve lol, what better way to celebrate the new then watch the Twilight Zone with your sibling heh.

Anyways I'll definitely have to check out the other episodes, thanks for the recommendation Albert!

I've been through my TONS and TONS of TV shows on DVD watching Halloween themed episodes and now that I'm finally done, I can start my horror movie selection. My friend is having a Halloween party and they are going to tell me which movies to bring so we can watch on Halloween. Whichever ones my friend doesn't ask me to bring I will watch on my own time before then. I have SO many!

So it looks we are now going to be watching Wolfman, Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy, and some other random ones I forgot.

I WANTED to watch something like..."The Creature from the Black Lagoon" but noooooo.

I highly doubt we will be watching all of them in one night since thats like 100 hours...but my best friend insists that we will be watching all of them if not in one night...geeze.

I am going to watch It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown tonight and Young Frankenstein tomorrow.

I probably will not get to see all 10 of the Treehouse of Horror episodes on DVD as I have stated earlier, but I will try to watch most of them.

"A World of His Own" is the one where things come to life after a guy describes it in his dictaphone, and they disappear when the tape is destroyed in a fire. It's got a clever meta-fiction ending involving Rod Serling.

I always love the Twilight Zone New Years marathon, unfortunately no one else in the family is interested in it so I either miss most of it or I watch it on my own or I simply switch back and forth to it and other things.

No problem, jeremy!

Anyway, my horror/halloween-related viewing has been fairly limited this past month, I haven't had much time to watch that many movies. Also, it never feels like Halloween season until the actual week, so I'll probably try and cram a bunch of Halloween & Horror films in the next six days.

This is what I'll be watching on the 30th and 31st for Halloween:

30th - Corpse Bride, Sleepy Hollow, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (Disney's version), The Ghost and Mr Chicken, and Dracula: Dead And Loving It

31st - Garfield In Disguise, It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, Psycho, 13 Ghosts (1960), House On Haunted Hill (1959), and my all time favorite The Haunting (1963).

This season I've not been very Halloween-ish but...

Two weeks ago I watched most if not all The Spooktacular New Adventures Of Casper (90's toon) - Volume 1 DVD.

Yesterday I watched The Office Season 2 episode 'Halloween' and it's deleted scenes twice.

Today I watched Boston Legal Season 2 episode 'Witches of Mass Destruction', Billy and Mandy's Jacked Up Halloween, 'I Am Vampire' episode of I Am Weasel, a hand full of Courage the Cowardly Dog shows and Shawn of the Dead.

I may pick up the Scream Triple feature so I can watch those again this year. Last year hilariously badly edited versions were on late at night on a kids-teen channel but sadly all that they seem to be showing this year is 'I know what you did last summer' once. Oh well that's why they HAVE DVD.

Sweeney Todd and Psycho.

Haha, exactly. I haven't seen it yet but from what I've heard it was considered the worst movie ever made or something. One day maybe I'll watch it just to get a good laugh.

I haven't been able to watch that many Halloween episodes/movies this October, but I managed to get a few in :

The Ghost and Mr. Chicken, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Hocus Pocus, Halloweentown, The Addams Family, Corpse Bride, It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!

Tonight I'll be watching Halloween episodes from "Friends", "Seinfeld", and various others once I'll catch on Disney Channel.

I'm so bad at holiday viewing. The only horror or Halloween-inspired things I've seen in the entirety of October was "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" this past week. I tried to watch The Stepford Wives (original) but stopped it about a half-hour in because the rest of the family wanted to watch something else.

Oh well, tomorrow I'll try and squeeze in *something* Maybe Rocky Horror or The Wicker Man, though neither are Halloween related. Or the ever-reliable dual-holiday The Nightmare Before Christmas.

albert

I should go see High School Musical 3... that seems pretty scary to me!

All sarcasm aside, I've watched a couple Halloween-esque films like, of course, Halloween... I also rented the DVDs of The Omen, The Exorcist, Carrie, The Fury, etc. The "classic" ones.

I know I won't watch them all by tomorrow but I just want to watch them over the next couple weeks.
