October 1st Theme
Unwatched DVDs
After over 100 days going without horror I really want freedom to watch any type of horror that I like on the first day! So I decided to make the first day be Unwatched DVDs. Below I will list the horror movie I have on DVD that I haven't watched yet. I may have seen the movie before... but not since getting it on DVD.

NOTE: There is many movies I never heard of here. So they may or may not truly be horror. Especially many of those many contained in the 50 and the 100 horror movie boxsets that I have. If there is any you know for sure can not be considered horror let me know and I will delete them from the list.

Nope... not either one of them. It is a classic movie that from the title card I believe is a horror (in a horror collection)...




It is part of a boxset I have... a 100 Horror Movie Collection.

I'll be joining you in watching horror movies again.  I know I won't get nearly as many watched as you will, Pete, but hey, more horror = more fun!

Here is my list of films that I want to watch in October - I likely won't be able get to all of them, but this is the list I'm going to try to pick from:

- 1408
- The Bat
- The Birds
- Carnival of Souls
- Cat People (1942)
- Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954)
- Curse of Frankenstein
- Dead Ringers
- Eyes Without a Face
- Flesh for Frankenstein
- Horror Express
- Horror of Dracula
- Incubus (1965)
- Jigoku
- Kwaidan (1964)
- The Masque of the Red Death (1964)
- Onibaba
- The Orphanage
- Paranormal Activity
- Psycho (1960)
- Tales of Terror
- Vampyr
- The Wolf Man (1941)
- Wolfman (2010)

I know some of these are more suspense/thriller with horror as a secondary genre, but my mom wanted to include mysteries this month, so I think it's a good compromise.  I am going to start with Carnival of Souls on Saturday, and Kwaidan on Sunday, but if anyone wants to suggest what of the list above to watch after that, all of them will be new to me.  (I can't start tomorrow, because I have tickets for the orchestra.)

Since it's October, we will also watch, at some point:
- Coraline
- Corpse Bride
- It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
- The Nightmare Before Christmas

I might also try to watch some of the Haunted Histories collections I have or the Unsolved Mysteries: Ghosts set, especially if I have only a short time to watch something.

Also, I have more horror in my collection, so if anyone wants to take a peek at my (admittedly long!) owned list and suggest something, feel free.  :D

My Thoughts:
This is one of the ones I was really looking forward to seeing... as I always loved anthology horrors. While it is technically an anthology horror... it isn't the way I know anthologies at least. Instead of having 3 or 4 separate short stories along with a wraparound storyline... this one is done more like a regular movie with all the stories intertwined with each other. While not bad... I prefer the traditional format of an anthology. Now with that said... I did enjoy all the stories in it... even though I did have some of the stories figured out ahead of time. I liked the one with the girls finding dates. That storyline has Anna Paquin in it... who I find adorable. I have enjoyed her since I first saw her as Sookie in True Blood. I normally don't go for blondes... but in the case of Anna Paquin I think she looks better as a blonde. Over all I enjoyed it quite a bit. Think it was a good start to my marathon.

My Thoughts:
Even when I decided to get this one... I knew it would be one that I couldn't expect much from. So I went into this with very low expectations. And I think it was a pretty good idea I went into it with such low expectations. This is not what I would call a good movie. I was able to enjoy some scenes... but over-all I found it to be a bit lackluster.  It really took quite a bit of time to get going. And most of the characters I just couldn't get myself to care about. Also... while I can't put my finger on it... the zombies felt a little off to me. But once this movie got going it had some decent zombie action/gore. But over all it is just an average zombie flick. I can see myself watching it again... but not as often as some in my collection.

My Rating: 2.5/5

Well... that is the last one for me today. I am rather disappointed in myself. I was hoping that I would get several more watched the first day. But unfortunately real life got in the way of all my fun today. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
