The October Challenge Discussion Thread: 2017

[Jason]

Look, while it's namely a horror MOVIE challenge, the spirit is about getting out and exploring and loving horror. I've let Tales from the Crypt slide as long as combined are over an hour. Jason etc. can do that with Tales from the Darkside etc. As long as the love and spirit are there, no worries.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind any of us using our best judgment on what counts as horror, as long as it is actually debatable. "You wanna count Predator? Aliens? Fine. I'm not counting it for mine" etc...

I've had netflix working for 10 hours, and the stream is total shit, and I can't get more than two minutes into the movie without netflix saying they're having issues playing the movie.

Fuck. Netflix. I hate it more than Pepsi. I hate it more than the Raiders. I hate it more than North Korea.

I had left the tab open for that Simon Bamford guy who played Peter Vincent in the documentary. I was about to close it just now and noticed also in his credits he played the fucking Butterball Cenobite in Hellraiser 1 and 2. Range, man.

[DancesWithWerewolves]

And he's in Nightbreed.

Watching a crisp youtube upload of Fright Night part 2. Blu Ray quality it claims. Looks great.

When your guide does not want to go any farther, you know it is bad...but yet you go on...

[DancesWithWerewolves]

The version of the doc on Amazon Prime is cut short. IMDB has it listed as 3 hours and 16 minutes, while Amazon's is 2 hours and 20 minutes. I'm guessing they talk about part 2 in that other hour...

Nothing feels like Halloween to me more than watching this movie at night with the lights off.

Watching this Fright Night documentary on Amazon/Shudder. I know it probably doesn't count for the challenge (as I don't remember documentaries counting) but I wanna watch it anyway. Could warm up right into Fright Night (1985) right after

If the documentary is about horror as a whole, or a specific horror film, they've counted in the past.

I remember The Rise and Fall of Slasher Films counting, as well as His Name was Jason.

Oh really?

*scratches beard*

I'll wait for full consensus before counting it, but that's good to know.

It is 2 hours and 20 minutes, so it well passes the minimum 60 minute requirement.

Count it. It’s horror and a film.

Ragin Cajun Redneck Gators (2013) was fun until 30 minutes from the end.

What a shame - had a lot of potential.

[Jigsaw]

Seems the same director of Ragin Cajun Redneck Gators was the same guy who directed Trailer Park Shark.

All in all, Redneck Gators was the better film.

Starting Nightmare on the 13th Floor, a 1990 television movie.

[showa58taro]

Finished You're Next. Very fun.

Now at the cinema, to watch The Ritual. Oh ho.
