Havok and I definitely should have another "pig" themed radio show. This would make the cut, for sure.

He's wearing a "My hovercraft is full of eels" T-shirt. Brilliant

Him and his new girlfriend thingy just burst into song and I can't tell if it is in mockery of musicals or if they genuinely decided to make this a pig-murder-musical. Not averse to either but it's funny that I can't tell the difference. The other weird thing is they both can sing but they seem to have gone with "just sing these words" with no actual tune.

Sometimes you get a random gem that is just hard to believe.

Overtly camp southern gay black fat guy... I assume they are trying to fill every minority quota required in one single role.

[showa58taro]

The disappearing random guy peeing by the road side. There are some things that should have been made into a trope but never were. That is definitely one of them.

[showa58taro]

Bizarrely, the 2nd film I've seen this month with people hanging in trees disembowelled.

Who thought that'd be a recurring image.

[showa58taro]

Teacher has to take his coat off to teach the class about the murders in the 90s. It's a labour-intensive teaching style. But with no details given to us, just a montage of creepy faces and death-blows with banjo music over the top.

Words can't do justice to how amazing this film is. This is very low-budget but it's got a ton of charm in a silly way too.

[showa58taro]

Take bong, force it through the pot-head's mouth and out the top of his head.

They are really going creative on deaths here.

[DancesWithWerewolves]

Now It (miniseries).

Since I'll be putting the clown makeup on my friend soon, might as well have what he's going as up on TV.

Good times! *Thumbs Up*

[Tiggnutz]

Reached 80 movies for the first time. First viewing of Curse of the Demon

[Monster]

First viwing of Village of the Damned 1960

That's one I should get around to watching. Never saw the original, just Carpenter's remake.

Is it on Shudder? I didn't see it.

It was on TCM today so i put it on my DVR and the sequel

Same. I'm watching Village now.

[Monster]

Children of the Damned

Just from the opening credits I suspect this won't live up to Village.

[Havok]

Blood Creek from 2006 is ranking right up there with Slender as being another pile of shit i've sat through for the challenge. I'll probably be the one person (except Jiggy) to ever watch it, so take my advice and just keep it that way. No redeeming value at all.

[showa58taro]

The rules this year have an ambiguity I wanTed to check. Is it 31 films, 16 of which must be new? Is that the only rules. Or by implication is it 31 16N AND minimum 15 old? Because I’ve met the challenge of 31 films, and 16 new, but not with 15 old ones. What is the verdict?

*sniff sniff*

I smell a challenge.

It IS horror month but the torture was meant to be of the promiscuous teens. Not yourself.

[DancesWithWerewolves]

Bummer, looks like I only have access to the one from 2010 directed by Joel Schumacher. Which actually has my attention because it's directed by Joel Schumacher

[Tiggnutz]

Children of the Damned

Just from the opening credits I suspect this won't live up to Village.

I might save this one for another time .

[Tiggnutz]

50th new watch Vincent Price in Diary of a Madman.

[showa58taro]

Lots of new ones there then.
