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.
Those two are really the only two I have left out of the ones I liked from him.

I planned on watching all of Romero's Dead series to honor him even though i usually do every Challenge but i should add in more Hooper for sure.

I also forgot to mention Salem's Lot. Haven't seen it, though.

The VVitch is a front runner for my next viewing. Would be a new watch.

I went on a five movie tear between last night and now. Might fit four in tonight. The VVitch is likely next. Watched the trailer. Looked OK-to-good. Reviews are high, though. Hopefully it's good.

Funny you say that. That's going to be my last movie tonight, after I finish the one I'm on.

The Mutations (or The Freakmaker, if you prefer) is moderately slow, but it does possess a certain charm. I sort of like it thus far.

I liked The Witch well enough, but people either like it or hate it it seems.

I absolutely love The Curse of the Living Corpse. 1964 was a very solid year for horror, so it'd not be the best of the year, but it would likely be in my top five horror flicks of 1964.

So I really loved it, but that said, I know my taste is oft questioned here. :P

The actress Tigg is talking about was also in South of Hell Mountain (1971), an obscure horror flick I've been looking for on and off for the last few years.

A review can be found here: http://bleedingskull.com/south-of-hell-mountain-1971/

The Mutations / The Freakmaker (1974) may not appeal to most here, but despite some slugginess, I thought it was a lot of fun. Reminded me of a higher budget The Revenge of Doctor X.

Solid 70's flick, regardless of the somewhat goofy makeup designs.

Not shabby so far. When Rip Torn showed up, I blurted out "if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a doll" :P

Looks like a hoot.
Not one of the more exciting Nunsploitation films, but still decent nonetheless.

I don't believe I've seen a single nunsploitation movie as of yet. Almost considered one for this month, but decided against it.

Going to start The VVitch: A New-England Folktale after making some quick food, which will then conclude my night.

I just hope my link doesn't flake out on me.
