BlueVoid, have you never seen Scream?


Not enough horror left on my watchlist (only 3 titles, and at least one is debatable as horror) to make it worthwhile for me this year.  I pretty much blew my horror wad last year.
Yeah, I wondered what you might have. Even your Noir list seems to getting down to the bottom of the tank.
Any thoughts on my Noir/Horror mix? Any further recommendations?


Beavermoose: Child's Play? Well, at least a couple of those are good. Better than doing Children of the Corn or Hellraiser.

Hopefully the ratings project can generate a good watchlist here sooner rather than later.

I like doing franchises. Last year was Critters and Halloween. Boy were some of those films awful....

My List

And Then There Were None
Picnic at Hanging Rock

Don't add this to the list, because I haven't talked myself into it yet, but am considering:

The Others

It already pushed me to watchlist Troll Hunter.


Sandy, Picnic at Hanging Rock is a great pick for you.

My wife insisted last year that I watch Frogs, but I just couldn't generate enough interest to watch it.  Then my daughter and I watched Lady Snowblood, and I'm all about campy B-movies.  So this year my Shocktober will be a campfest.

Tremors (rewatch)
The Happening
Frogs
Evil Dead II
Army of Darkness (rewatch)
Dolls
The Brain that Wouldn't Die
The Little Shop of Horrors
Elvira, Mistress of the Dark
The Hand

I don't know how many I'll get to, but my daughter and I will try to watch as many as possible.

Great list oldkid!

That's good to know 1SO. I scoured everyone's lists and it looked doable.

Nope! Horror is generally one of my biggest blind spots, which is one of the reasons I look forward to Shocktober so much!
