Really nice tone-setting score for the opening credits.

[Jason]

Dude is in here looking for his friend, Artie.

If you drink every time he says "Hey, Artie?!" you will die of alcohol poisoning before the movie is over.

[Jason]

WHOA... There's Artie. :p

[Jason]

Pretty blown away by these opening kills. Very impressive.

[Ava]

The Lift was a fun one. Kills weren't that impressive but I liked the story and how dark and enclosed the ending scenes were. I was so worried for the repair guy.

[Jigsaw]

De Lift is perhaps one of my favorite Dutch horror movies, but Amsterdamned pretty good too.

And to Jason, Supernatural is a movie I rather enjoyed. I think when my list still existed, it was on my top 100 80's horror flicks.

[Jigsaw]

About an hour into B.O.R.N. (1989), which includes some names like P.J. Soles (Halloween) and Clint Howard (Ice Cream Man), and I'll admit to being pretty impressed with this. I was expecting something hammy, but aside from Soles, this movie is pretty dark and enticing.

[flyingspider]

Boy am I glad that one is over...Mansion of Madness has got to be in my top 10 worst movies, and I have no such list...lol.

[Ava]

The Crucifixion...ugh. Painful to get through. Felt like 90 minutes of all overused exorcism scenarios thrown together. *cringes*

[Tiggnutz]

I will have to get back to the NOES marathon later because I'm comfortable as fuck right now and want to watch a movie in bed. I need a bedroom Blu-ray player.So I'm starting a new watch Boar

[Monster]

Night of Dark Shadows

[Jigsaw]

Death by Invitation (1971) was one of the most boring things I've seen in my life.

[Tiggnutz]

First viewing of The Wailing

[Ava]

The Wailing is good stuff. I thought about that ending long after the movie was over.

Just popped on Hatchet. Was happy to see Prime had it. I need to pick this one up one of these days.

[Slaughterhouserock]

Random shit about films mentioned:

The Gate is brilliant. The sequel, not so much, but still fun. I watched it countless times when I was a kid.

I liked Dead Pit enough to write a song based on it back in the day. It ended up being a staple during our shows.

Langoliers is kinda shitty, but Bronson Pinchot is fantastic as the bad guy. Worth watching just for him.

Since I have limited time, I've only seen Prey(the 2019 film) so far. Very predictable with a dumbass ending. Not total garbage, but easily forgettable.

[Jigsaw]

Two really solid first-time viewings today, being B.O.R.N. (1989) and Konchû daisensô (1968). I'd say I liked B.O.R.N. more, but both were pretty decent. Death by Invitation is perhaps the worst movie I've seen so far this month.

[DancesWithWerewolves]

Starting my morning with Haunting of Cell Block 11

[DancesWithWerewolves]

Langoliers is kinda shitty, but Bronson Pinchot is fantastic as the bad guy. Worth watching just for him.

Yeah, there's a legendary level of bad-overacting with him that he's watchable in it lol.

[Jason]

Challenge is on hold (sort of) as I head to L.A. to meet the peeps of Madman (1982). There will be a free screening of the movie after I buy the vinyl soundtrack. From there, gonna check out the NOES House, and the filming locations from Halloween, the Christine house and the NOES house.

[DancesWithWerewolves]

So far Cellblock 11 isn't a shitfest. Yay! I'm actually invested in the ghosthunter's dilema, and they can sorta act.

Cameo from Dee Wallace as their bitchy boss. Nice.
