31 Days, 31 horror movies...(Year 3)

[Torgo]

My 3rd year in a row of doing the October challenge hosted at the little forum I belong to, decided to post it early so I can start listing the horror movies I plan to watch. Some people that participate in this have already picked out the movies months ago. My problem is I want to watch any new movie to me as soon as I have it available, so even planning a couple of weeks a head isn't easy for me haha
My daughter, seeing as she's home this October is helping me find movies to watch.

So the rules: Watch at least 31 horror movies- at least 16 of them must be first time views

One of the movies I've found to watch...

Fear Pharm (2020) Members of a deranged family use the world's scariest maze to hunt unsuspecting teens with perfect skin.

I watched the Babysitter sequel last week. It's ok. I didn't know the first one was that popular for Netflix to want a sequel. I like they were able to get the whole cast back for another film.

I'll play along with the challenge. October is the month I watch the most horror flicks. I'm sure I can find 16 new ones. Lin Shaye has some horror flicks I haven't caught up on. So do you have to have the list of movies ready before October 1st and posted here for others to see or do you just post each day in October what horror movie you saw with a little review?

Post them each day as you watch them. You don't have to review or anything. I sometimes put the ones in bold I liked.

Fear Pharm & The Barge People look pretty good. I'm scared to play the trailer because they always give too much of the movie away but I read the synopsis for each and put them on my list to watch.

I'm on a big horror kick lately and with buying my first Smart TV this year and discovering Tubi, i've thrown dozens of horror flicks into my queue that will take me months to see. And these are just the old films! And I haven't even started with Shudder yet.

All these films and channels will keep me busy for quite a long time.

I started watching 1 horror film each night myself this week. Tonight I watched "Slumber Party Massacre" from 1982. I've always heard of this one and even seen it in video stores as a teen in the 80's but never bothered to rent it because it looked too silly.

Finally after almost 40 years I gave it a look and actually enjoyed it. Everyone did stupid things no actual person would do when hunted by a killer in the house but it was still lots of fun and had some great gore.

I'm gonna watch part 2 tomorrow.

I love Slumber Party Massacre. It was originally intended as a slasher spoof, but was changed at the last second, but a lot of the humor, stayed.

Well, I like part 2, but it is silly. It's so surreal and weird, but I understand people who don't like it as it has a totally different tone than the first.

I'd say slashers are my top 3 of the horror subgenre. 80s of course was the best decade for them, but I'm still always on the look out for new ones that are good, granted my gauge for good isn't always the same as what other people gauge them as. Which is why I enjoy slashers like Bikini Girls On Ice.

Some 80's lesser knowns I'm going to try and watch...

Dark Enemy (1984)

Southern Shockers (1985)

Echoes (1982) aka Living Nightmare

The Clairvoyant (1982)

The Passing (1983)

The Intruder (1981)

I didn't like part 2 at all and i'm surprised Crystal Benard managed to have a successful career after that.

I guess I like my horror straightforward and serious. This was just too over the top and it didn't even feel like a horror film.

There's so many 80's horror i've never seen. I haven't heard of any of the ones in your latest post but will seek those out to watch. And Bikini Girls on Ice i've also never seen, but with a title like that, how can I not?

Haha understandable. I know I'm in the minority when it comes to liking Slumber Party Massacre 2, I like weird, goofy horror films, though they don't always work. Sometimes it depends on the mood I'm in.

I don't know how good those ones are, but I've seen most of the ones from the 80's, though I'm lacking in the non-North American releases and there are quite a few Asian and European horror films from that decade I want to see.
I love seeking out the obscure, mainly from the 80s and older.

Bikini Girls, for me, captured what I enjoy about 80s slashers, it isn't set in that decade, but it worked better than some that try to look like they were made back then. It also had a sequel Pin-Up Girls On Ice, which I enjoyed as well.

Some more for my October watch...

October 1st 2020:

I was able to get 3 movies in before starting work this morning. The ones I watched today are new ones for me:

Lover's Lane (2000): Gotta give a shout out for having Sarah Lancaster in it. I remember her from Saved By The Bell The New Class. Also Riley Smith from Nancy Drew was in it. I kept thinking he was from teeny bopper movie in the 90's that I recognized and nope. It's from Nancy Drew I've seen the actor from. This movie had a weird twist at the end. SPOILERSI wasn't expecting a father / daughter killer duo act taking place. I thought it was going to be the guy who escaped the mental hospital. Overall I give this movie 4 out of 5. I'll be giving it another rewatch again. It fits the nostalgic 90's horror films I enjoy a lot.

The Cottage (2012): I decided to watch this instead of what I originally planned. I like David Arquette's acting so when I saw he was in this, I gave it a shot. What a weird ass movie this is. It's on Tubi if anyone wants to see it. I give it 3 out of 5. It's not spectacular or brilliant by any means. It's good. It's worth seeing if you're a David fan.

Most Likely To Die (2015): Another film on Tubi I found. It has Heather Morris from Glee in it. It's a slasher film. I was expecting someone else to be the killer the whole time I was watching this. I like the mask they used for the killer and the razors at the corners of the graduation hat the killer wore. That was clever. Overall I give it 3 out of 5. I don't think I'll be rewatching it. Once was enough.

Before the challenge started, I watched quite a bit of new horror movies off Shudder and Tubi. I'm just going to list the ones I like. From Shudder I like the following ones: Can't Take It Back (Another Jill Larson horror flick, love it), The Last Showing (although I liked it mainly for Robert Englund), Monster Party (definitely worth a shot watching), Class of 1984 (it has the feel of Sometimes They Come Back to it), and Daniel Isn't Real (I really enjoyed this one, it was crazy). From Tubi, just Hangman with Jeremy Sisto in it. It was clever and makes you think what happens to your home when you're away on vacation. I have a huge list of films to watch on both Shudder and Tubi for the challenge. I'll either try watching some more tonight or wait until tomorrow.

October 2nd, 2020:

Fear PHarm (2020): This is the only movie I was able to get in today. I forgot The Boys was new today. This is a weird ass movie. I was creeped out in some scenes. I hope this does well enough for a sequel though. I think they could keep going with the plot they have. I give it 4 out of 5. This is a movie that fits well paired with Haunt (2019) in a rewatch.
