October Challenge 2023 Discussion Thread

[Tiggnutz]

It's just about that time of year again.

Anyone new to The HMF October Challenge can look at the October Challenge- Guidelines thread to see what it's all about

[Tiggnutz]

My first film will be a bucket list new watch for me. Four Flies on Grey Velvet

[Jigsaw]

Seriously considered not taking part in the Challenge this year - haven't been watching much horror in the last three months, and don't really feel the passion - but I hope to get at least 44 movies down or so.

Since I'm cancelling Peacock, and it expires on the 13th of October, I'm pretty much starting with their horror library first.

Debating going to see SawX Sunday

[Tiggnutz]

I've never seen a saw film in a theater before

[Jigsaw]

Pretty sure I watched Saw IV in theaters. That was a blast. I remember the audience coming out before us (I saw it with my brother) talking about how the ending confused them, which got me even more pumped. Fun times.

It's 10:05. When the clock strikes midnight I'm probably gonna open up with Ghost Town (1988) or possibly Beyond the Door. Either one would be a new watch.

Starting off with Phantasm

[DancesWithWerewolves]

Man Peacock threw on a bunch of trailer/commercials before the start lol. In that time I could've just put the Blu-ray in. Oh well.

[Tiggnutz]

Kicking off with a first time viewing of Four Flies on Grey Velvet. Got a 4k Blu-ray with a subtitle Director cut and an English language version. Went English because it's too early for reading

[Tiggnutz]

This should finish in time for me to make it to my local AMC scuzz theater in time for SawX.

Phantasm II for breakfast

[Tiggnutz]

[Jigsaw]

Started off with A Nightmare on Elm Street. Needed to rewatch it anyway, as I wanted to rewrite the review I have up for this. Still as fun as ever, but not perfect.

[Tiggnutz]

I think this is my second favorite Saw film after the first

Really neck and neck with the first for top spot

[zombie]

neither bones and all nor swallowed feel that horror-y to me. incase anyone else was planning to watch. i'd avoid for the month, but it's up to you.

[Tiggnutz]

Been saving The Last Drive-in showing of Beyond the Door III for the Challenge because it's a new watch for me. Roll the film
