Our favorite month of the year is here at last! 31 days of horror movie content, horror movie podcasts and, of course, the Scary Movie Challenge! The first SMC thread will be posted at midnight PT, so hold your horses until then. Those of you on the East Coast, on CST or (especially) overseas have plenty of time to watch a movie after midnight your time and write up your seven-word reviews once the thread goes live.
I also think this might be the first year that Day One of #ScaryMovieMonth is on a Saturday, so I expect we'll have a LOT of seven word reviews our first day. I know I plan to watch as many scary movies as possible.
Let's make it the best #ScaryMovieMonth ever!
IT HAS BEGUN!! First movie is up and running! Welcome to Primetime Bitches! (Sorry, you guys aren't bitches, just a quote)
ReplyDeleteI'm going with Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 for my first of the month. Also, I am a bitch.
DeleteMy first is Joy Ride. I may have fucked up...
DeleteI know this will sound crazy, but I have yet to watch the original Texas Chainsaw or the sequels, I've only seen the remake and sequels. So, right there is a series I will be diving into for the first time this month!
DeleteI want to watch the short that never got released
DeleteTexas chainsaw mannicure!
And I'm not joking, it almost made it to the latest release but legally they could not do it
Local time...NOOOOO! Well the rules is the rules. Happy SMM to those of you in the future. So excited, see you soon :)
ReplyDeleteNo chance I'll make it to 3 AM (on the east coast). Oh well, will post my non-gems tomorrow morning :)
ReplyDeleteWhat's first on the list?
DeleteA mediocre new film with a great last 10 mins "The Windmill" and an absolute newfound classic that you'll have to wait and see about :)
DeleteI 've always have been terrified of Windmills. Thankfully we haven't cracked perpetual motion yet.
DeleteIn this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!
DeleteOh crap I never considered ectopropulsion!! It could happen.
DeleteI'm watching The Manitou from 1978. Trying to see as many as I can from the year I was born and mixing in some others. I feel like I've been in a daze for 11 months and now everything feels right again...
ReplyDeleteI like the theme!
DeleteGood theme, I like it
DeleteI like it as well, am looking forward to see where it goes.
Delete"The Manitou" is awesome. Jamie Lee Curtis' dad + camp + "Exorcist" and "Star Wars"-influenced filmmaking = horror camp of the highest order.
DeleteI'm starting with Duel. Just got it on Blu Ray last week but made myself wait until tonight.
ReplyDeleteDuel counts? I guess it is a 'scary' movie. See, this is where i always run into trouble. Do thrillers count? Where do we draw the line? Just curious, plus I don't want to be posting reviews that shouldn't be posted.
DeleteI think it counts. The truck is a monster, and the situation is terrifying.
DeleteJust finished watching From Beyond, looooved it. Now the question is do I go for the eye or Barbara Crampton in leather in my 7 word review?
ReplyDeleteCrampton for the win
DeleteI've been stockpiling horror DVDs all year. Super excited for the next 31 days!
ReplyDeleteGood luck everyone, I hope you all kill it, I'm looking forward to all your clever 7 word reviews
ReplyDeleteIts already SMM time here in the UK so my first was Mirrors! I watched it so Patrick doesn't have to, It's kinda ok, got a few good moments and effects by Nicotera and Berger, not as bad as expected
Ps
You all know my one recommendation for you all, XTRO
Have you seen it yet?
To kinda twist a quote from Lucy Lu in Kill Bill.
"If anyone else has a better recommendation than Xtro to bring up, Now is time F#cking time"
I love you all!
Now go watch Xtro and just like Chucky
"I'll be your friend till the end!"
Ps my theme is I'm only watching movies recommended by our friends at Shockwaves formally Killerpov on the Blumhouse site, Elric kane recommend Xtro on his list so all is good in the world
DeleteDennis "Xtro" Atherton your relentless passion for this one has sold me. What's the best way to get grab this one. Is a 40 bones used dvd just the price of entry?
DeleteLots on Ebay, not sure if its streaming anywhere? But on YouTube if there's no other option, Enjoy
DeleteFYI screenshot showing the best procolmation of Bastard ever! Here's to hoping Pieces is the commentary!
ReplyDeleteI've completed my first viewing last night The Shining, can't wait to post my 1st ever smm
ReplyDeleteKicked it off at midnight with a first time viewing of Drag Me To Hell. How....interesting.
ReplyDeleteI kicked off with one I've seen (Daybreakers) and one I haven't (Nightbreed). If I had known Clive Barker directed it, it would have been watched years ago.
ReplyDeleteThe Sacrament
ReplyDeleteNo Jonestown For Old Men … and fire.
Don't Breathe
ReplyDeleteWait Until Dark defiled by turkey baster

ReplyDeleteSuedo Joan Cusack killed it
