Never heard of Out of the Dark, so now watching that. Seeing Karen Black reminds me I really need to revisit Children of the Night, as my memory on that is dismal.

I have had that one for like two or three years. Still never watched it.

Not bad so far for a late 80's sleazy killer-in-a-clown-mask movie. It's up on Amazon Prime.

Bad Meat was decent. I felt they could've done more with it, but it's still one of the better films of the challenge so far and would make a good double feature with Condemned.

Oh, that Out of The Dark. I've seen that. I thought you meant the one with Julia Stiles. Nobody can handle nipples like Bobo.

No wonder the last act of Bad Meat didn't feel right. Shit wasn't even finished and they just pieced together an unfinished movie.

I guess. I mean, if it's a toss up, ultimately you can decide if you want to put it on your list or not. My only gripe about it is I thought it fucking totally sucked ass. :p

Just finished Grave Halloween (2013). The more I think about it, the more annoyed I get. If the movie survives my review with above a 3.5/10, I'd be surprised.

Backwoods (1987) was filmed in Indiana, so I was hoping that I'd end up liking it more than what I did. It's a shame, as Indiana-based horror films aren't common, and this one just didn't do it for me.

Among the Living (follow me or die, sorry had to!) was so frickin' awful.*cringes*

Are we not cats. Not even sure what that was.

Angst. LOVED it for three reasons. 1) It was in german, my favorite language to listen to. 2) Between the camera angles and the actor being so frenzied, it felt raw and creepy to me. Like I was seeing something that normally isn't seen. 3) The weener dog! Here is this guy all crazy ass murdering people and the dog is like "Hiya! Who are you? Whatcha' doing? I'll follow ya!" It just made me laugh. :D

Going to watch Friday the 13th (1980) for the first time in a surprisingly long time.

Only defender of the first Friday the 13th on FE, it seems - http://fight-evil.com/movies/view.php?id=30

I get it's not as good as 2-5, but even so, seems a solid flick to me.

It was just so overly generic and atrocious as to warrant no respect. It's a film of little to no value, but then again, I always would recommend people see for themselves, and not just take my word for it.

Finished Island of Lost Souls (1932). Haven't seen this one in years. Charles Laughton is amazing in it, and it even has Bela Lugosi. Not a favorite of mine, but a horror classic, and for a reason.

Updated my tally. Have 13 movies total, meaning I'm ahead of schedule by about three movies. Since I work tomorrow, I will likely only be watch two films, but this has been a solid beginning to the month.
