It's kind of too late to start up a Slasher marathon, so I might hold off until Friday and just start compiling titles.

I'm compiling a list of werewolf movies (both have and haven't watched yet this challenge), and I'm curious where we stand on the Underworld Series.

I know Van Helsing is a big question mark too, but I'm running short to meet the 62 unless I start stretching "horror" a little bit :P

Or else I'm stuck with more trash-trash to fill up the numbers lol.

Still keeping the comedies like Teen Wolf and Full Moon High off, but am totally welcoming anthologies too.

i don;t know if you would count blood moon (aka: wolf girl) but it's pretty good and it's werewolf adjacent at least. :P

I was debating that. Pretty sure I've seen Wolf Girl (that's the one from the early 00's right?), but if I get desperate, I may put it there.

Wildling is another that's got a questionmark next to it. Not as a horror movie, it is, but it's also kinda werewolf-adjacent.

I see them as action films, but I've gotten stricter in what I call horror over the years.

Have you seen all thirteen of Naschy's Daninsky werewolf films?

Here's a list of them, since they don't have a common name, just a common character. Couldn't tell you if one was non-existent, but I can check.

Ah, looks like it was never finished because the director died.

Ah, i've seen Fury of the Wolfman (1972) and found it pretty abysmal lol

But it looks like several others have much higher IMDB scores, so maybe I will give one or two a shot.

My vacation ends tonight, as I go into work tomorrow, so from this point on, I will no longer to watch six/seven films a day. It's a shame, but even at two a day (which will be what my average goes down to), I should be able to make around 90 without a problem.
For my thoughts on the horror films I've seen, please look here: https://jigsawshorrorcorner.wordpress.com/

Watching No Vacancy. Still waiting for the other shoe to drop, since everyone's too nice at this bar/motel.

Bugs me that almost everyone looks the same in this.

I may squeeze Lone Wolf in, I've seen it, but I remember not hating it.

I wasn't sure if Bubba The Redneck Werewolf would count for horror, that looked full on slapstick comedy lol.

I've got Wolvebayne on my list, but if it doesn't get watched, I have a feeling I won't miss it :P

Cold Ground is werewolf? I was concerned that was another bigfoot one.

I'm not sure, it could be Bigfoot, but why would it be apart of this set?
