Romier S Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Sara and I have a great lineup to work through tommorrow. We plan to trek to theater and catch Saw in the afernoon but after that, the popcorn will be ready to go and the following will be spun up in order until we drop: -Halloween -Psycho -The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original) -A Nightmare on Elm St. (the original) -Night of the Living Dead (George Romero original) -Dawn of the Dead 2004 (never tire of seeing this) -The Ring (Japanese Version) -Hellraiser -Evil Dead (parts I and II) -The Nightmare Before Christmas -Se7en -My Bloody Valentine -Terror Train -Night of the Demons -Friday the 13th Part 2 -April Fools Day -The Gate -Return of the Living Dead (Parts 1 and 2) I could open up a blockbuster dedicated to horror movies. She doesn't have school and I don't work until 1:30pm so that means we'll be up until 5-6am watching movies. Not too mention I'd like to work in some playtime with Medievil on the PSX. It's become tradition for me to put it in and play a few levels. Can't freaking wait! :tu: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Sheets Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 I dunno. Since I just got the dvd's, maybe I'll watch The Thing and Ed Wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark E Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Se7en is so not a horror movie . If I watch anything tomorrow it'll be a toss-up between Army of Darkness or Ghostbusters. Not that I watch horror movies either . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Se7en is so not a horror movie Never said it was However it is creepy, tense and fits the bill for Halloween nicely in my house. What is interesting is that you chose Se7en out of a list that has "The Nightmare before Christmas" on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Se7en is my favorite movie... ever... so I tend to zero in on it . The Nightmare Before Christmas at least has a connection to Halloween, however tenuous .

Romier S Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Se7en is my favorite movie... ever It is high on my list also Mark. My wife is also a huge fan of it and likes to add it our watch list this time of year. We both love the Halloween season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel P Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 I've been watching horror/scary movies all month as part of HTF's 2004 Scary Movie Challenge. I'll be watching a few more tomorrow night to add to my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan FB Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 I've got a few lined up, best of all, I haven't watched any of them before: Ring (Japanese) Donnie Darko: Director's Cut May Dark Water Ju-On It remains to be seen how many I'll actually get through.

Romier S Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Great selection there Ryan. I would suggest putting Donnie Darko at the top of that list. It's such an interesting film and will no doubt have you thinking about it for days after watching it. It is a *must* see IMHO. If you had to choose between The Ring or Juon I would go with The Ring as its pace is a bit far better than Juon's (which slows to a halt midway through). Both are worth watching however so make sure to catch the other at a later date. As a final note: DO NOT MISS MAY! I bought May as a cheapie at a local video shop after hearing some thoughts on it online and I loved every minute of it. It's extremely quirky and low budget but you'll be suprised to find the movie is a character piece more than a typical slasher film. You'll also get a serious feeling of uncomfortability watching the movie mainly because you feel equal parts pity and disgust for the titular character. EDIT: Is the Darko Directors Cut out on DVD?

Jeff W Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 After the Lions game (which can be quite frightning in it's own right some weeks ) I've picked the following for my Halloween horror fest: Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake Dawn of the Dead remake directors cut Cabin Fever Bubba Ho-Tep Session 9 Ichi the Killer unrated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan FB Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Thanks for the suggestions Romier. Just to clarify a little, I have seen the theatrical cut of Donnie Darko, and the US version of The Ring. The Donnie Darko Director's Cut is available if you're willing to do a little region bending importing. I got tired of waiting for the R1 release (which, afaik, they haven't even set a date on yet), so I went ahead and imported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainl Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Well, I didn't watch any films on Sunday (they would have got in the way of the Scrapheap Challenge - Top Gear - Himalaya run), but we had a little Halloween film watch on Thursday, with the absolutely splendid Shaun Of The Dead. Hence the new sig update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan FB Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 I got through Donnie Darko, The Ring, and May. I can't imagine a better time to watch Donnie Darko, in fact, I had forgotten it took place during an election year, so it was even more appropriate. The Ring was surprisingly more concise and to the point than it's US counterpart, which I'm assuming incorporates some information from the Japanese sequels/prequels. And May...is definitely one f'ed up chick. :shock: Interestingly enough, Fox has just announced the R1 release of the Donnie Darko Director's Cut: Donnie Darko Director's CutSTREET DATE: DVD: 2/15/2005 MPAA RATING (US): R RUNNING TIME: 253 DVD SRP (US): $26.98 AUDIO: English: Dolby Surround 2.0, Dolby Digital 5.1 VIDEO: 2.35:1 SUBTITLES: English, Spanish During the presidential election of 1988, a teenager named Donnie Darko sleepwalks out of his house one night, and sees a giant, demonic-looking rabbit named Frank, who tells him the world will end in 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes, and 12 seconds. He returns home the next morning to find that a jet engine has crashed through his bedroom. As he tries to figure out why he survived and tries to deal with people in his town, like the school bully, his conservative health teacher, and a self-help guru, Frank continues to turn up in Donnie's mind, causing him to commit acts of vandalism and worse. The new Director?s Cut includes a production diary of the film (with optional commentary by Director of Photography Steven Poster), a story-board to screen featurette, the Director?s cut theatrical trailer, They Made Me Do It Too ? The Cult of Donnie Darko and the #1 Fan: A Darkomentary. Disc 1: Widescreen Presentation Audio Commentary with Writer/Director Richard Kelly and Kevin Smith Disc 2: Donnie Darko Production Diary (with optional commentary by Director of Photography Steven Poster) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
