oh i know that. that's not really the point. it's just cheesy and nostalgic. that's the only reason we're watching it. although i have been thinking of changing it to "mad monster party"

oh, the beyond is great. and so is demons! we actually watched demons last year. it would be nice to have a fulci in there though...

I'm so pumped for Monday! I'm trying to get at least 50 movies in this month. All horror. I've been lining stuff up for the past week, and so far have about 20 - but more on the way.

ah, it's exciting. october's almost here. i guess i'll pretty much be doing the same thing- only watching horror movies. it's hard for me to watch anything else in october because i don't feel like watching anything else.

so what's up first? do you have any idea yet?

[joshaube]

Absolutely no idea! I think I'll start with the least atmospheric ones first.

1. hocus pocus (i feel like i have to) (1993)
2. nosferatu (1922)
3. black sabbath (1963)
4. eyes without a face (1960)
5. ichi the killer (2001)
6. don't look in the basement (1973)
7. suspiria (1977)
8. blood feast (1963)
9. spiderbaby (1968)

that's the order right now

that is one hell of a list. from "Eyes Without a Face" to "Don't Look in the Basement." whew, you are definitely going to be running the gamut. I don't know if I would include Ichi. it's a great flick, but not too Halloween-y (to me, at least). and replacing Hocus Pocus with Mad Monster Party is a great idea!

regardless, these are (almost) nine of my favorite films of all time. solid choices.

someone mentioned Haxan, which would be a good choice, if you were going to replace Ichi. it's one of the movies I leave running on mute during Halloween parties.

hey there, thanks! yeah i just ordered mad monster party yesterday, and i'm still not sure if i'm going to replace ichi yet. i know it's not very halloween-y, but i wanted to put a miike in there (last year was audition), and ichi is such a great gore-fest it seemed to be the natural choice. if i do replace it, it would probably be with haxan, which roderick usher also suggested, or maybe a fulci.

thanks again for your help
