I still need to get around to doing that. I remember liking the remake pretty decently, but wasn't blown away.

Didn't intend on Hunter's Moon to be both my 28th werewolf movie, as well as my 28th new-to-me film :P

Though, if it turns out not to be a werewolf movie, it's going to ruin that beautiful sync-up.

Never seen the 1999 House on Haunted Hill.

....until now.

The 1959 version is an easy 10/10, so I'll be interested to see how utterly terrible this version is. As long as it's better than Thir13en Ghosts (2001), that's all I ask for.

Been kinda wanting to revisit the remake. The 59 is a fun classic, but I don't remember liking the remake.

However, based on memory, I do recall liking Thirt13n Ghosts (2001) much more than House on Haunted Hill (1999) so....that might not bode well for ya :P

Deeeeefinitely a werewolf movie. Cheap looking FX suit, but that's par for the course lately, and there's been worse in this challenge alone.

Also never seen it, but wasn't aware it was horror either. Is it? I thought it was a ground-level War of the Worlds type of sci fi flick.
Feels like a horror comedy to me.

Gonna try and watch Only Lovers Left Alive (2013), in a few. Hope I can find it on my jailbroken Firestick.

It's strange not hearing Jason Issacs doing a British accent.

I think the 1999 House on Haunted Hill is marginally better than the 2001 Thir13en Ghosts, but it's a close call. Neither one's great.

Admittedly I need to rewatch both.
