As Patrick pointed out on the podcast a film The Mummy is a good entry level horror although your son may be a bit too young for it. Some of the Disney Halloween themed animations like Sleepy Hollow (the headless horseman) may go over well. Horror themes mixed with some comedy tend to help smooth over potentially traumatic scenes in a movie but caution is still needed. Truly effective horror/comedies do tend to be the best of both worlds after all. If the age of a film is not a problem for your son then I think you're on the right track with your ideas. The Abbot and Costello classic horror crossovers may work a treat. <br />Take it from someone who was allowed to watch An American Werewolf in London and John Carpenter's The Thing on the same dark night at the tender age of nine in 84/85. As long as you don't do anything that irresponsible you and your son will be fine ( though I'm sure you won't ). How I managed to become a fully functioning human being after the years of trauma that caused amazes even me.Jon Sigleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-35519649320255850862014-09-30T19:57:09.188-05:002014-09-30T19:57:09.188-05:00That would be great.

I had wanted to fly to Chicago (from Washington state) for the Massacre, but will have to wait till I graduate and am gainfully employed as an English teacher next year (knock on wood). Next best is doing as many weekend marathons on my own and with friends as possible. <br /><br />I'm going to try and work through the areas of horror I am less familiar with, which includes Universal, Hammer, Italian, et al. I also want to see all the stuff I haven't by auteurs I like. Since I'm dual citizen and half Canuck, I will do my part to support the NFB of Canada and start with Cronenberg, whose "Dead Ringers" was maybe the most unsettling film experience I had as a teen (later surpassed by "Hall Pass"). <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517278800493374057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-86769630993157599412014-09-29T13:17:56.501-05:002014-09-29T13:17:56.501-05:00Hey Drew.

If there's a horror movie that's either streaming on Amazon Prime or Netflix Instant or I have access to physical media that has a podcast I haven't heard (like, for example, Patrick's interview with the writer/director of "Contagious," which is currently streaming on Netflix Instant) that's the one I want to prioritize in October. That way I don't only get the seven-word review but also a nice new-to-me podcast to listen to as I spend four hours per day walking to/from work. <br /><br />The BBandBC podcast, in particular, has a bunch of podcasts about Mario Bava movies that are currently streaming on both Amazon Prime and Netflix. I'm not gonna do only horror movies in October though, that's Patrick's OCD thing. I'm gonna mix it up with other stuff to keep from going insane and hating Scary Movie Month a few days into it, like it happens to many of us. :-)J.M.

For the most part, my wife and I are just going to wing it (though I've secretly got some movies in mind: I've yet to see The Descent, so there's that, and I'm itching to introduce my wife to The Howling). <br /><br />The only thing I know we're doing is attending the Rifftrax Live presentation of Anaconda on Oct. 30.

Yea i heard it's kind of an underrated one so I'm curious to watch it and apparently there's a pretty good jump scare somewhere in the movie. I also got the original exorcist on bluray so ill be spinning that as well. I may have gotten a tad impatient and popped in a little bit of demon knight on Saturday night... And it's bad ass! Loving the hell out of it so far, it has some interesting twists with some deaths I didn't see coming and I never thought I'd say this but Billy Zane is the shit!

Definitely in for a treat.<br /><br />I won't spoil anything, but keep in mind that Exorcist III was taken away from William Peter Blatty and the end is now a mess because of it. It's still a wonderful, meditative, and character-driven film. It caught me at just the right age as a kid.

But if time allows, there are two things I'd like to tackle this year.<br /><br />First, The Invisible Man sequels are the only corner of classic Universal Monsters I haven't explored. There are still a few of the stand-alone movies for next year, but these will be the last of the classic Universal Monster films to cross off my list. Sort of bittersweet, actually.<br /><br />Second, I need to finally get to know the 80s monster movies. As of earlier this week, I'd only seen two Nightmare on Elm Streets, one Halloween, and zero Friday the 13th movies. I started scary movie month early tonight with Nightmare on Elm Street II: Freddy's Revenge. I'm going to continue through the Nightmares and move on to Friday the 13th.Jeremy Wicketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11614746246278329837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-81052050374527683662014-09-28T23:06:06.196-05:002014-09-28T23:06:06.196-05:00If only I lived closer to go to the Massacre, but ...If only I lived closer to go to the Massacre, but I'm out here on the west coast representin' J.B.

I'm also using the book Hidden Horror as a helpful tool. I want to see as many new (to me) horror movies as I can. Some of those movies are Phantasm, Politergeist, Possession, The Blob, and Leprechuan. If I have enough time, I want to tackle the Friday 13th series again. I've only seen the original, Freddy vs. Jason, and the remake. I wasn't a big fan of those movies. Maybe Jason isn't for me. I'll find out this month. I have another list for streaming titles. Most of these came out recently such as The Sacrament, Resolution, American Mary, and Stage Fright. And I'm going to make time for The Woman and The Woman in Black. The discussions on previous podcasts have intrigued me. There's so many movies. Maybe I'll just stay inside for all of October.
