The October Challenge Discussion Thread 2018

[Jigsaw]

I feel like having three moderately attractive girls skinny dipping with zero nudity should be tantamount to a crime.

I just noticed that there isn't much difference on this board between a new movie in bold and a rewatch in regular print on a tally post. Went ahead and changed it to a color.
Weird.

Blood Beat was marginally better than Pervert! But yet, nothing to write home about..my third movie is doing a lot better though..

[Jigsaw]

Didn't love Tourist Trap, but didn't hate it, so that's something.

Next up, a re-watch, Don't Go in the Woods (2010).

I remember liking this one, so hopefully it can stand up to my memories.

Such a fine movie, which, surprise surprise, I like more than the remake.

The lack of nudity in that scene is appalling :x

[Tiggnutz]

The Thing From Another World was excellent but can't say it's better than the remake. Next is a 1st time viewing of The Bat (1959). Any new Vincent Price is always a treat.

[Jigsaw]

Don't Go in the Woods (2010) has a 2.7/10 on IMDb, but after seeing it twice now, I'd still rate it a just-below average 6.5/10.

And I liked it more than Tourist Trap.

The Bat (1959) is a pretty fun movie, but I think I like The Bat Whispers (1930) more (both were based off the same source material). The silent film The Bat (1926) is decent, but compared to the 1930 and 1959 version, even I have to admit it's pretty dry.

Next up: Encounter with the Unknown (1972)

I just checked the weather forecast. They lie to me often, but the first two days of October are supposed to be rain-filled days in the mid-70s.

Fuck. Yes. Don't lie to me.

Rain is now completely off the forecast.

Eat shit and live, fuckers.

Next up: Encounter with the Unknown (1972)

Filmed in Arkansas, USA - loving these accents.

[Tiggnutz]

Gave The Bat a C+ it's pretty mediocre but gets points for reminding me of a Scooby Doo episode.

[zombie]

is bsskin a better way to start the challenge, or revenge?

[Jigsaw]

Haven't seen either. I know havok liked Baskin, or at least I think I recall that, but I've not really heard much about Revenge. I'd personally lean Baskin, but what do I know?

[Jigsaw]

Dude, I think the last ten minutes of this movie are just recapping the three stories told previously, in a Beyond Belief: Fact or fiction way.

Bizarre.

[DancesWithWerewolves]

Didn't love Tourist Trap, but didn't hate it, so that's something.

Yep.That's where I am with it. Only Tanya Roberts and Chuck Conners were anything special about it, imo.

[DancesWithWerewolves]

First viewing of Street Trash, I believe.

[Jigsaw]

So, Rod Serling narrated the beginning and ending of each of the three stories in this film, but at the beginning and end of the movie as a whole, another different narrator is present.

Given that the last ten minutes of this film seem to be talking about the nature of the supernatural, with origins of witchcraft and the like, I really wish Serling was the one narrating.
