Talk your strategy, plans and films on your watch list.

Not sure what I'm starting with, but I do plan on watching a decent amount of classics (1930's-1970's), so I'll probably find something solid to start off the month with.

I had a vacation planned during the first week of October, but that may no longer be the case. Won't know until 27th or 28th.

I just now noticed something......2017 we reached 90 pages during the challenge discussions. 2018, was 87. 2019, was 88. That's pretty fucking consistent. Let's hope we get to those numbers again!

Anyone else having trouble not watching horror movies? For example, I watched Lake Placid yesterday, then about 30 minutes into it realized I should stop watching. Too close to the challenge!

I've been restraining myself until October, which is why I guess if everyone bails on Night of the Comet tomorrow, it's cool.

yes. I have been wanting to watch The Blob remake for the past week. I've gone back and forth on whether or not I should. Bring on October, dammit!

I've honestly not been in a big horror mood since I lost one of my computers that happened to have my reviews on it (one of the reasons I've not been updating my review blog or twitter), hopefully I can get back into the mood as October goes along.

It will come back to ya. That sucks though. I understand. I've lost songs I can never get back. Without horror though, you wouldn't have had the drive to write those reviews in the first place. You'll find the inspiration again.

Have you been keeping up with the radio shows, Jiggy?

We watched one called 8 Ball Clown during this months marathon and it was something else. I do suggest giving that show a listen whenever you have the time, it was an interesting show.

I listen to one, plan on listening to the next, and I can almost never do it, so I apologize, I haven't been. I'll give some of those a listen before October if I can manage.
