Next three movies I'll be watching in order during my Shocktoberfest viewings on Saturdays this month: Godzilla Final Wars Scream 2 AKIRA Still not sure what the last film will be. I'm leaning towards either "Lifeforce" or "Bram Stoker's Dracula" at this time.

I don't consider this a spoiler because I don't consider it a surprise. Lake Placid 4: The Final Chapter...had a sequel tease. Now...a spoiler from the film. {Spoiler}Don't expect Robert Englund back. Poor guy can't make it to the end credits now-a-days. A cheesy, by-the-numbers-yet-somehow-miscolored film that has a few funny parts but nothing of any real value. What a way to start October.

Found a great music video that fits in well with the time of the month. It's Pinhead, doing battle for the fate of humanity...by playing five-card monty with Lemmy?!
SURE, WHY NOT!
It's "Hellraiser" from Motorhead, from Hellraiser 3: Hell on Earth.

Teaser Trailer for Rob Zombie's The Lord of Salem Awesome, thanks for posting this. I can't wait to check this movie out. Just watched Satan's Little Helper yesterday. Anyone else ever seen this? What a weird movie.

@pegasus Is Battle Royale a horror movie? It's a good movie but I'm not entirely sure it falls in the horror/halloween style. You could add Event Horizon, Deadly Spawn or The Thing to your list if you want to break it up a little with some sci-fi horror. The Keep (1983) could be an interesting addition if you can find it. The Orphanage (2007) or this year's The Woman in Black for more straightforward scares. Thanks. Looking at winners here. The Keep: that's what I'm looking for. Loved The Orphanage. So you're on the right track. Thanks.

Well I have started my Halloween film fun time this year with:
The Invisible Man (1933)

A real quick review:
THE LOVED ONES (2009) - Aussie horror from first-time feature director Sean Byrne.
Six months ago, teenager Brent (Xavier Samuel) accidentally killed his father when he swerved his car to avoid hitting a bloodied man in the middle of the road, and wound up driving right into a tree (Brent's father was in the passenger seat).
Now, Brent is still rife with guilt over the accident, though his pain is eased by his girlfriend Holly. When shy girl Lola (Robin McLeavy) asks Brent to Prom, he naturally refuses on the grounds that he's going with the aforementioned Holly.
The night of the Prom, Brent is rendered unconscious and thrown into an old man's trunk. When he awakens, Brent finds himself strapped to a chair at Lola's house, where Lola is wearing her prettiest dress and lights swirl around the room. This is Lola's own personal prom, and it's only going to get sicker and weirder from here...
HOLY S*** this movie is intense. This flick gave me the same sort of gut-twisting uneasiness I got when I first watched AUDITION however many years ago.
Everyone did a fantastic job on this flick. Robin McLeavy is just disgustingly crazy, John Brumpton as Lola's father (the old man who kidnapped Brent) is more quietly creepy, Xavier Samuel does a great job, even as his character has been rendered mute by Lola and her father.
The tension is occasionally broken up by a subplot where Brent's awkward friend actually gets to go to prom with the headbanger chick of his dreams. These are welcome moments of relief, that don't detract from the tension of the main plot.
5 stars out of 5. Not the kind of movie that I'd watch every night (or really very often at all), but it's incredibly well-made all the same. And it makes me want to see what else director Byrne has up his sleeve.

Over the course of the past 2 days, me and a handful of friends watched ALL of the Nightmare on Elm Street films.
I don't have reviews for you guys, but I had a great time. Such a fun series. And I honestly didn't hate the remake.
*shrinks back in fear of backlash*

The Loved Ones is an awesome horror movie and there isn't enough to be said about Robin McLeavys performance that girl is bat shit insane..to put it nicely.
And officially with my own personal marathon I have now watched 21 horror movies (3 every night)...no wonder I love october.

I've snuck 22 horror films into my schedule thus far. I skipped Thursday, but I made up for it with 6 flicks today (well, now Sunday counts as yesterday, I guess).

I loved the original, absolute classic. Second was fantastic, not as good though. Halloween III is an under rated classic, Halloween IV is enjoyable but comedic compared to it's originals. Halloween V is terrible with a laughable mask. The rest is terrible, although H20 had the best ending, if only...

Watched The Tall Man last night on Netflix and discovered that it is not the horror movie that its poster suggests. It is not a Slenderman rip-off either, which some people were saying before it was released. It is just...not...that good. The movie knows what it is doing, does it with nice execution, but, at the end of the day, was not enjoyable and their 'lesson' or 'moral' or 'thinking point' is more of an eyeroll than a "Hey, I never considered that..." So, I suggest people not watch The Tall Man if they want a horror movie. Maybe a dark-ish drama...but not a horror movie.
