Something like 95% of the movies I watch every October come from sites like Putlocker, Megashare, etc. I'm suspicious of people who don't use sites like that, frankly. :P

I'm just a sucker for slashers. Finished Most Likely to Die (2015), and despite expecting to dislike it, ended up loving it.

Slaughter High (1986), Don't Go to the Reunion (2013), and Most Likely to Die are all solid in their own ways. Needed this after one disappointment (Dead Silence) and one 50/50 (The Pit).

Last movie will be Virgin Witch (1972).

Starting up with Child's Play. Will only go through 1-3 tonight, before starting up Cult when Alli gets back from work.

Not sure which I like better in 2 or 3, 2 in general probably but part 3's paintball scene was brilliant. Not many moments of "brilliance" in the franchise for me.

I put 3 behind Curse, while 1 and 2 are at the top of the pile. I really just don't like Bride or Seed, lol.

Bride of Chucky might not be up there with the first three, but I enjoyed the hell out of it last time I saw it. Really liked it.

That said, I've not seen Seed, but it looks like shit.

Virgin Witch had enough nudity to put plenty of porn sites out of business. :P

That said, despite the ending being a bit of a mess, I thought the overall vibe (being from the 1970's and all) was pretty fun.

I wasn't expecting it to be, but I certainly wasn't expecting it to be my least favorite. :?: :idea: :|

I got work early, but I need to squeeze in a new watch tonight that is hopefully worth a damn.

Already on Child's Play 3. Not sure why this one still gets that big of a bad wrap.

I got it 1, 2, 3, Curse, Bride, Seed. I think the 3rd had the perfect amount of humor.

Its humor is perfectly fine. I know production was rushed, but it's not like bad-rushed like NOES5.

Maybe it's Justin Whalin. He does kinda suck. Alex Vincent at least was a kid and could get away with sucking :P

I'd hate NOES 5 a good deal if Lisa Wilcox didn't save that movie. She is an unsung hero of that franchise, tbh.

Ashamed to admit that I don't believe I've seen The Stand or Needful Things. Own Needful Things, now I'm ordering The Stand on amazon right now for the challenge. Hungry for new watches of movies that I should've seen by now. I bought Graveyard Shift at Wal-Mart when I went on that crazy horror binge. Heard it's p. crap, though. Going with Needful Things tonight.

One of the most memorable scenes, imo.

The Stand's age is pretty harsh, but at the time it was a pretty big production for TV. Just warn'n :P

Sinise is still great in it though.
