First time watching 1962 Carnival of Souls

Hope the version you're watching is of better quality than the most common print.

Next up: Toxic Shark (2017).

Great title. Hoping for the best.

Absolutely love this movie!

I have been in the studio and learning my new job. I haven't even watched one movie. Ugh. Gonna remedy this tonight.

What a movie I was glued from the opening scene. A wonderful example of great casting and a captivating story being far far more important than budget. A+

So glad Amazon Prime's House On Haunted Hill is not a bastardized color version like they did with Last Man On Earth and Night Of the Living Dead

[Jason]

When did IMDb change the release date of House from 1986 to 1985? lol. They've done this with more than a handful of movies I've noticed. Weirdos. I'm leaving it at 1986 when I update my tally.

I own two different DVDs of House on Haunted Hill. One in black and white that is a dual release with Don't Look in the Basement. The other is a DVD by itself, but with the option of watching it in color or black & white. I've still never seen the movie in color. Was also debating watching it for this challenge.

Must have happened recently. Every six months I go through my ordered list of every horror movie I've seen and change the titles/years if IMDb does, and I still have House in my 1986.

Hey, D. To add more confusion on that Shelly F13 shirt, does it actually say Shelly the 13th on the shirt or is it just Shelly with the mask?

I assume it says Shelly the 13th on it.

Leave it at 1986. IMDb has been going partially retarded for years, and finally went full retard when they got rid of their message boards.

I won't screw with altering my list now anyways. I'll look into it once I add all my viewings from October on the first day of November.

Toxic Shark was dumb fun. Have to admit, aside from the last twenty minutes or so, I mostly had a blast.

[Tiggnutz]

Rewatch of The Funhouse

[Jigsaw]

Started The Mutations (1974).

It has both Tom Baker (the Fourth Doctor) and Donald Pleasence in it, so I'm sure it'll be fine, but the first three minutes feel like one of those 70's science class documentaries.

I swear I'm already drowsy.

[Jason]

Rewatch of The Funhouse

Damn. We really should all honor Tobe Hooper this challenge, shouldn't we?

I already got TCSM in. Maybe I'll go with Funhouse and Poltergeist at some point.

[Jigsaw]

Despite the fact that it's Pleasence who is narrating about carnivorous plant life (he's teaching a college course, by the looks of it), those first seven minutes were the driest thing I've ever witnessed.

[Havok]

I think i'm gonna give Satanico Pandemonium a watch, because I need something older to get the bad taste of the last few shitty new movies out of my mind.

Looks like a hoot.
