What'd you think of these two brah?
four skulls was fun old b movie fare. nothing but the night was more about cop investigation than horror, but it was well made. cushing and lee were a plus.

Indeed. I've seen both, just needed to make sure you had the correct viewpoints. ;) :P

A baby just got shot with a shotgun and blew up. As soon as I saw that baby, I was hoping it'd be killed (something that is sorely lacking in horror), and boy, am I happy.

Bloodletting (1997), a super low-budget serial killer film, is turning out to be a lot more fun than I expected.

If it's under an hour, just watch enough of it again to get it to 60 minutes.

I don't like doing that, and it makes me feel cheap, but I'm a whore, so I've done it a few times. :lol:

I'm not a fan of doing that, especially if it sucks (I mean, if we're logging the minutes where the total minutes count in the end, then why does it matter?). I was just checking. Never Hike In the Snow came out the other day and it's 31 minutes. I'm still gonna watch it, but won't get counted.

i think the rule was originally meant as a way to keep people from watching several episodes of a tv series like the walking dead or something and counting that in the challenge. but we can retire it, as we can probably all agree that doing that is dumb. :P

Hmmm, Never Hike In The Snow, while really good, definitely felt more like an episode than a movie, so I'm not gonna count it.

Though kind of a shame. The two kills were fantastic
