My Annual November Movie Marathon

Bad Moon looks pretty badass. I have to get hold of a copy. Thanks, Newb. :)

Blood Beach - Wasnt that the one where people get killed by getting sucked into the beach sand...some kind of a Tremors creature under it? Should be interesting.

I ll check out the other 3 too. Thanks, Manchestr.

That one isn't even entertaining...it's just bad. Especially if you're familiar with the original story - when I saw it, I'd never read the story and HATED the movie. Then I read it a few months later, and hated the movie that much more.

Blechh.

That said, you've got a fun looking lineup and a great plan for the month. I adore this kind of flick, so you can bet I'll be giving a plethora of suggestions as soon as I get home :)

Ps - I'll second Q: The winged Serpent. I also checked it out on Urge's recommendation, and it was an absolute blast. Everything a horror movie should be; I really need to find a copy of my own...

Whoa...thanks for the heads-up, bud.

I read somewhere that they used up a pretty sizeable budget in the movie, and also Peter Hyams was not that bad. But now I ll stay clear of that one till I have nothing better to watch.

And Q getting a second thumbs-up...it's into my list of watches, for sure. :)

King Kong wasnt exactly low budget. Critters is good. I ll toss in the first one.

Watched Gremlins one too many times. I think I ll skip it for this one. Thanks anyway.

These should all give you a chuckle.

The Thing with 2 Heads was a real blast. Reminds me, I have to get Beast From 20,000 Fathoms and 20 Million Miles To Earth for some good, old-school cheesy fun.

Plenty of good recs already. Keep em coming, folks! :cool:

I'll try to think of more.

Liked or Loved? You can't have it both ways. :D

Hmm...The Deep wasn't exactly horror. They as in Wes Craven? Seen it long time ago, and I dont remember much of it. Puppet Master is not exactly a creature flick either. Pumpkinhead is good...the sequel should make it into my final list. (watched the original at least 2-3 times)

The first post where I said I liked Komodo was edited because I double-posted. The film was scary and I really liked it! ;) I'll edit my last post.

V, Dark Night of the Scarecrow is a made-for-TV movie that scared me. I think I'll add it to my queue. It's not really funny, but you might consider it cheesy.

What genre(s) do The Deep and Puppetmaster belong in if they aren't creature movies?

Just curious...:) I know they aren't monsters but to me, they were creepy.

Sorry to confuse....:)

Edited to please Festered. ;)

Dark Night was a mildly amusing flick. I liked it.

The Deep is more like an adventure/thriller flick, if you are talking about the Nick Nolte one. It would be miscategorising it to call it horror, or a creature movie.

I always thought Puppet Master was an idea which sprung up after the success of Child's Play. Technically they arent creatures, but "little buggers." Scary dolls never entertained me much though.

and more...

Wishmaster 1 & 2
Mimic 1 & 2

Dagon
Stuck (Came out recently. Great movie.)
Videodrome
Dusk Till Dawn
The Abominable Snowman (50's Hammer version)
Creepshow
Predator
Ravenous
Creature From the Black Lagoon films
Slither

Ok, thanks for clearing that up, V. :) Sorry I put King Kong on my list. I just started adding creature flicks without even thinking.

They as in Wes Craven?

Yes. It's a 2002 movie. I thought it was older and it's definitely cheesy IMHO. I guess it doesn't qualify since it's not old school? The director is Robert Harmon.

I'm a bit confused since the Jurassic Park movies weren't low budget and Jaws was great, too. I think Arachnophobia did pretty well, didn't it?

Ok, I'll shut up now. :)

[_____V_____]

Dagon, Creepshow, Slither...3 good ones. Slither is worth a re-watch too. Good reminders.

[Despare]

The Host
Brain Damage (you know which one)

I'm sure I'll think of a crap load more later.
