Metternich 1815's Halloween Horror Movie Marathon: October 2015
As I am sure most of you are aware, the Halloween season is fast approaching. In preparation for this, I have decided to prepare my movie watchlist for the month itself in an annual event that I like to call the 31 Days of Halloween or, alternately, my Halloween Horror Movie Marathon.
During this marathon, I watch one horror movie each day in the month of October and then end the marathon with a Halloween double feature. The month will also be divided into different themes. Each of these themes will include four movies spanning over four days. The relevant categories are listed below. For the last seven days, I have chosen films that are either set around the Halloween season or have a very Halloween feel or relevance to them. I do not plan this to be any kind of a formal event, simply something that I am just doing myself. Feel free to respond with your own plans for the Halloween season. I would be interested to hear which films you are interested in or make a tradition to watch every year. Note: All films are the originals unless otherwise noted and I may revise this list, as necessary, at some point. Stephen King: October 1: Children of the Corn October 2: Christine October 3: The Shining October 4: Pet Sematary Zombies: October 5: Night of the Living Dead October 6: Dawn of the Dead October 7: Day of the Dead October 8: Return of the Living Dead Vampires and Werewolves: October 9: Dracula October 10: Fright Night October 11: The Wolf Man October 12: The Howling Serial Killers: October 13: Friday the 13th October 14: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre October 15: A Nightmare on Elm Street October 16: Scream Horror From Beyond the Stars: October 17: Alien October 18: John Carpenter's The Thing October 19: Predator October 20: Invasion of the Body Snatchers Demons and Ghosts: October 21: The Evil Dead October 22: The Exorcist October 23: The Haunting October 24: The Amityville Horror The Final Seven Days of Halloween: October 25: The Cabin in the Woods October 26: Pumpkinhead October 27: Dark Night of the Scarecrow October 28: Ginger Snaps October 29: Night of the Demons October 30: Trick r Treat October 31: Halloween I and II I hope you all have a great Halloween season! |

Do you consider it too scary or were you just never a big fan.

Metternich:
A solid list, though, I think several films should be viewed on Halloween. What hour of the day do you assign for watching horror? |

Looks like a fun list.... Shame you cant squeeze a little bit of Fulci (Zombi 2) into your zombie week though.

Werewolves and leeches sharing a list. I do not approve, but in your last 7 days you have Trick 'R Treat and Ginger Snaps so that will do. I would certainly tune in. Is this a private thing or will you be streaming?

My understanding is this is an "event & happening" that will be livestreamed on HDC.

Lol...unfortunately no. I was not quite sure which category to place it under and this seemed to make the most sense as it is an event of sorts. |

Terrific titles on your schedule, Met! Quite a few of those make my Halloween must watch list as well. My work week allows me to watch a lot of Horror every month, but the spirit of the season always moves me to amp up my viewing even more. I always start with The Thing(1951) on October 1st. It's in my all time top ten for scifi/horror and feels like the best way to get in the proper mood. Beyond that, I really don't prepare a list of what I will watch and when, but here's a few flicks that I watch AT LEAST once every October.
Trick r Treat A Nightmare Before Christmas Night Of The Demons (1988) Psycho Tons of the Universal monster movies, with an emphasis on the Wolfman and Frankenstein franchises Blood Feast Nosferatu (1922 and 1979) A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) Curse of the Werewolf Scream Suspiria Night of the Living Dead (1968) Evil Dead (all incarnations) Ringu The Beyond The Driller Killer The Haunting (1963) The House on Haunted Hill (1959) Theater of Blood May Phantom of the Paradise Wow, there's a ton of 'em I haven't even mentioned...I'll just say I watch more horror than anyone I know in the month of Halloween One last thing, I ALWAYS watch Halloween (1978) on the 31st. ALWAYS. Last edited by Repo'd; 09-02-2015 at 02:36 PM. |
