Your 2024 Scary Movie Month Primer

 by Patrick Bromley

Get ready for Scary Movie Month, bitch!


It's the very best time of year -- Scary Movie Month! We wait all year for these 31 days, when we devote F This Movie! to nothing but horror podcasts, articles, and everyone's favorite game.

What's the game, you ask? Why the Scary Movie Challenge, of course! What's the Scary Movie Challenge, you ask? Boy you ask a lot of questions. Every time you watch a scary movie during the month of October, come to the site and leave a seven word review for that movie in the day's thread. We read a bunch of them on the podcasts every week. A brush with fame!

As is tradition, here's our annual primer to catch you up on all of our past horror stuff and put you in the mood for #ScaryMovieMonth. Because we tend to celebrate horror all year round, there's a lot of it. Try not to get too scared!

  2. I'm always excited for Scary Movie Month, but this year I'm especially excited!

    Also, if anyone isn't watching the show "From" on MGM+ you really should! It's a horror mystery-box show and it's a lot of fun!

  3. Yay! This month I'm going to visit the Puppet Master franchise. Will it be the "Franchise show" this year? Maybe. My guesses have been wrong every time so far. But I love horror movies with haunted dolls and stuff like that, so it seems like I should watch this franchise anyways. Maybe I'll watch the Phantasm movies as well. I haven't seen any giallo lately and am looking forward to watched a couple of those.

    1. Wait, there are 15 Puppet Master movies? wtf. I guess I'll be watching ONLY Puppet Master movies this month :D

    2. Where’s the list where they specify what type of movie to watch each day?

    3. @JustMarv you're thinking of Junesploitation (during June) where there is a theme for every day. (And is also not coincidentally the best month of the year).

      For Scary Movie Month, you can just watch whatever you want. There is no schedule of themes. Every day there is a post and people share a 7 word review of what they've seen. Yay! What are you going to be watching this month?

    4. In Canada 12 of the Puppet Master movies are on Tubi, so I don't have to buy the box set. Curse of the Puppet Master (1998) wasn't available anywhere to stream so I bought the DVD. Puppet Master The Legacy (2003) is on Prime, and Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich is on Hoopla (through the library). I'm all set! And what's going on with all Nazi themes in those titles? I guess I'll find out, but I must say I'm a little apprehensive. I'll be happy to quickly abandon the franchise if it gets too much.
      I'll probably be completely fed up with the franchise long before I reach the nazi era (era).

    5. Oh ok, thanks Paul. Yeah, I was thinking there was a schedule like Junesploitation.

    6. I can't imagine Patrick and Mike subjecting themselves to the Puppet Master franchise. If I had to guess this year's franchise... I'll say The Conjuring Universe. I was going to guess Paranormal Activity, but there's only so many ways you can talk about not much happening for 95% of the movie.

    7. Holy jesus I'm watching the first Puppet Master movie and it's horrible. Barely a movie. There are 14 more of these things

      Delete
    8. Also if you watch all of them now, you're pretty much committing yourself to watching all the ones that come out in the future.

  4. Patrick, you are a trooper putting together this primer every year, holy cow!

    I'm so so excited for Scary Movie Month this year!

  5. I'm planning on doing the daily review count again, but instead of Twitter I'll just post them here on the site. So each day's count will be posted on that day's topic. I trust that's ok with everyone?

    2. Thanks so much for doing that Mikko. I only use twitter for Fthismoviefest, and then uninstall it from my phone afterwards. So posting it here is fine by me.

    3. I pretty much quit Twitter entirely a couple months back due to Musk.

  6. Just came across Perdita Durango on the horror section in Amazon Prime. Not going to watch it until tomorrow but how has does a crazy looking action/horror movie from 1997 starring Rosie Perez and Javier Bardem, and from 30 Coins Director/Producer Álex de la Iglesia never get mentioned by anyone?

  7. Hey Patrick looks like the SMM podcasts from last year are missing just FYI.
