October Horror Challenge
Two Evil Eyes is half Romero film and another story by Argento about a crime scene photog with a nasty black cat he hates lol. Inferno was only 1 story..and it sucked. I liked the underwater scenes and some of the lightning and even some of Keith Emerson's score but..yeah, it was horrid. Trauma from 1993 might be an OK Argento consideration?

Wait what is this?
We don't all vote on films by the way, each individual member picks what they want to watch for each category. Think it's better that way as there may be a particular film someone is wanting to watch that another member really couldn't deal with. Like if someone was choosing Arachnophobia for Creature Feature (if that's even a Creature Feature) and someone was scared of spiders.

I see what you mean. So it's pretty much watch whatever you want, and a few of us might have identical picks here and there?

Ah lol. I was kidding. St Elmo's is a brat pack movie but it's horrifyingly bad.

I thought I was the only person who hadn't seen The Exorcist.

I'll post about whatever horror movies I inevitably watch but you guys all know I suck and can't commit to anything.
I'm excited with this, since I already was planning to watch lots of horror movies. I already start with the Friday the 13th franchise, and I want to start to see The Texas Chaisaw Massacre franchise next week.
This are the films that I'm planning to see for this challenge. Might change something...
...William Castle should've been in the list!
Romero: Night of the Living Dead
Carpenter: The Thing
Craven: New Nightmare
Hooper: Lifeforce
Fulci: The House by the Cemetery
Argento: Phenomena
Walker: House of Mortal Sin
Home Invasion: The Last House on the Left [1972] (Does this count?)
Creature Feature: The Host
Slasher: Halloween (I'm already planning to see all of them )
Zombie: Dawn of the Dead (1978)
Body Horror: Re-Animator
Anthologies: Three... Extremes, Kwaidan and Black Sabbath
From the Year you were born: Trauma (1993)
Two Horror Sequels: Friday the 13th Final Chapter and Halloween 2
Highest Rated: The Exorcist (IMDB highest ranking for a horror film... I think.)
Hammer Horror: Dracula: Prince of Darkness (1966)
Universal: The Invisible Man (1933)
Supernatural: A Tale of Two Sisters
Three different Countries:
Whispering Corridors (South Corea)
Blood Feast (USA) or A Bay of Blood (Italy)
Sakebi [AKA Retribution] (Japan)

I like the idea of a horror film that has been banned in a country. Also to add to the subgenres catagorey, a found footage horror film as well?

I've seen Halloweed 3 a few times and, frankly, I think it's totally out of place with the others. Whoever directed it went in a different direction. I think the constant "Silver Shamrock" commercials (music to the tune of "London Bridge is falling down..." is quite annoying.
IMHO, it doesn't match the poster at all.

Actually there is one Argento film that I remember liking a lot when I saw it years ago. Deep Red, but I'm not sure how it would hold up now. Still I think it's much better than Suspiria and Inferno.

Hmm... I think I'll at least make a list of 31 horror films to watch and see if I can make it. Watching 31 movies in a month is certainly doable with the abundance of free time I have.
1. A silent film: The Golem (1920)
2. A Jodorowsky: Santa Sangre (1989)
3. Rape and revenge theme: I Spit on Your Grave (1978)
4. Torture theme: Philosophy of a Knife (2008)
Well that's all for now, I'll finish the list later.

Yam12, Scanners is a thriller. I would not consider it a horror, but it's a really good movie. You should still watch it.

Scanners is categorized as horror on IMDb, which is where we usually look to for a master decision with top 100 lists etc for example.
So it's a fine pick.
