| | Posted: | | | |  I know I am putting this post up a few days early... but I figured I may as well get it up and ready.With Halloween being my all-time favorite holiday... I like to celebrate it all month long. So every year at this time I have a month long horror / Halloween marathon. Every year I try to beat my record of most horror movies, horror or Halloween episode TV Series and now Other (Shorts/Documentaries). The best I ever done was last year when I watched 103 Movies, 55 TV Show Episodes & 5 Other. Will I be able to beat my best record... I am almost positive I won't. I already know that I will not have the time to put to it this year like I did last. But that is ok... as I plan to give it my all whether it is a win, loose or a draw! And no matter what happens I am going to have a great time!Goal:Movies: 104 TV Eps: 56 Other: 9  “Hi, I’m Chucky, wanna play?” | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | I recommend Titanic 2. It's a horror because it's a film which has no entertainment value on any level what so ever. Without entertainment value on some level, a film does not have an audience. And it is for that reason i say the abomination that is Titanic 2, is the worst film ever made! It will give you nightmares  Edit: I wasn't saying horrors weren't entertaining lol. Just Titanic 2 is horrifying cause it has no entertainment value on any level. | | | | Last edited: by ShinyDiscGuy |

| | Posted: | | | | I don't post here much anymore, but always like to swing by when Pete starts his annual Halloween Marathon!  From your list, I'd definitely recommend The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue and A Tale of Two Sisters; both are an acquired taste, but are firm favourites of mine. However, I thought Creep was abysmal. | | | DVD

| | Posted: | | | | I would just go ahead and toss Tamara in the trash, just saying it sucks and sucked! I liked some other ones on your list though, albiet in the minority.
Death Tunnel
Creepshow 3
Lost Boys 3
Mirrors 2
I can't recall if I liked or hated Kraken, think it was closer to hate. |

Besides... there has been many movies that I liked... but seemed like I was the only one in the world that liked it. Same here, but Tammy wasn't one of them although it was in the vein that I usually do like. I think I kept the download of it I grabbed way back when to try it, so glad I never bought it. Not sure why I haven't listened to myself and tossed it out, maybe I'll give it another try someday. It reminds me of Headhunter due to the boxcovers looking similar, but Headhunter was far better. Cute lead girl is all Tamara has going for it. |

| | Posted: | | | |  Title: Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's AssistantYear: 2009 Director: Paul Weitz Rating: PG-13 Length: 109 Min. Video: Widescreen 2.35:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 5.1, French: Dolby Digital: 5.1, Spanish: Dolby Digital: 5.1 Subtitles: English, French, Spanish Stars:John C. Reilly Josh Hutcherson Chris Massoglia Jessica Carlson Michael Cerveris Ray Stevenson Plot:Welcome to the Cirque du Freak, a traveling sideshow filled with magical creatures, misunderstood freaks, and the mysterious vampire, Larten Crepsley (John C. Reilly). Drawn to the dark, unpredictable world of the Cirque, 16-year-old Darren (Chris Massoglia) decides to trade in his ordinary life for a chance to become an immortal vampire. As Darren explores his newfound powers and faces unexpected enemies, he'll find that his existence as a memeber of the undead is filled with more challenges, suspense and fun than he ever thought possible. Based on the best-selling book series and co-starring Salma Hayek, Josh Hutcherson, Ken Watanabe, and Willem Dafoe, it's a fast-paced, suspenseful journey critics call, "Imaginative!" (Peter Hall, Cinematical.com) Extras:Scene Access Bonus Trailers Deleted Scenes Featurettes My Thoughts: This is one I never seen before. But with my love for all things vampires...I been wanting to check this one out since the first time I saw the trailer. It turned out to be a bit different then I was expecting. Not really a bad different.. but not really as good as I was expecting either. The movie plays with the vampire legend a bit... but that seems to be true about most vampire movies. I think the vampire legend gets changed to the story-teller's needs more so then any other. I did like the idea of the 2 different clans of vampires going to war. I also enjoyed all the different freaks that was in the movie. While I realize they didn't have time to really get into it... I would have liked to see some more on them. Maybe a bit of background info on at least some of them. From what I understand this is from a series of books. So while it did complete the storyline in this movie... it also left itself wide open for sequels. Which I hope will see eventually come out... because over-all while I was expecting a bit better... I still enjoyed the movie. My Rating: 4/5 Count: Movie Count: 1 TV Ep. Count: 0 Other Count: 0 | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | |  Title: PsychosisYear: 2009 Director: Reg Travis Rating: R Length: 93 Min. Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 1.85:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 5.1, English: Dolby Digital: 2-Channel Stereo Subtitles: English Stars:Darren Bransford Slaine Kelly Josh Myers Sarah Briggs Alexander Ellis Neil McCaul Plot:After suffering a mental breakdown, Susan (Charisma Carpenter), a successful horror novelist, retreats to a picturesque and secluded countryside manor to recover. However things take a terrifying turn when she begins having horrifying vissions of a deranged psychopath and a massacre that took place years ago. Extras:Scene Access Audio Commentary Feature Trailers Bonus Trailers Deleted Scenes Featurettes My Thoughts: This one I bought mostly because it stars Charisma Carpenter... who I have liked since she was in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I never even heard of this movie before I did an amazon search on her name this past month. I found this one to be rather strange... and a bit hard to follow at times. But over all I found it entertaining enough to keep my attention. Pretty good... but definitely could have been better. My Rating: 3.5/5 Count: Movie Count: 2 TV Ep. Count: 0 Other Count: 0 | | | | Pete |
