I felt it was the time to open it even if it is a little bit early, but some of us are ready to start and want to see the october first happenning faster...
Most people know the drill, but just in case you don't...
The goal is to watch horror movies (DUH!) during this month. How many movies you'll watch isn't important (but it's always fun to break our personal record) and what you'll watch isn't either (film, TV episode, documentary,...). What is important is to have fun... anyway this is what we always want here.
This topic is the one to post your reviews and discussion about the marathon. Of course you are free to create your own marathon thread as I and Pete do every year.
Another thread is for the scorecard of what you'll watch.
P.S : Karsten I count on you to stick this thread and the scorecard one.
-
I am thinking about participating a little for the first time. I am not much of a horror movie fan. But I could do a mini-marathon. I have a handful of movies I am the mood to watch again.
-
You can always place some science fiction films if horror isn't your favorite genre. As long as it has alien invaders it count... even something like Plan 9 or Earth vs. the Flying Saucers or The Pod People would do the trick.
-
I made a list (http://www.dvdcollectorsonline.com/index.php/topic,7886.msg157848.html#msg157848) of movies which I am considering to watch. I will certainly not manage to watch all of them, but if there is a movie someone would like me to review, I will consider giving it a higher priority.
-
Thanks Sam and Jim! And sorry for the post! :)
-
And i'll think i will try to join aswell with my own "Horrorfest list"
Not as fancy as you Jim and Pete..
But just a own tread where i review and count my horrormovies for the October :)
-
Thanks Sam and Jim! And sorry for the post! :)
No problem, I just prefer to keep it clean of discussion because it's more pleasant for the eyes when all the score cards are one after the other.
And i'll think i will try to join aswell with my own "Horrorfest list"
I expected to see you enter as you seem to be a big horror fan ;D
-
In case someone recognized the place in the picture... we never know some don't live that far from there.
It's an abandoned subway station at Newark (NJ), you can learn more about it here (http://www.columbia.edu/~brennan/abandoned/cedarst.html).
See even an horror marathon is an opportunity for learning :laugh:
-
I will make my "horrorfest" list a few days before October i think.. ;)
Gotta join, not that i will be watching as much as you guys tho.
And prolly not the horror movies you guys like :-[
-
I'll be happy if i reach 20 movies this year (in my first marathon thread) :-[
-
I did 50 my first year (http://www.dvdcollectorsonline.com/index.php/topic,4156.0.html) :P
-
I hope would reach those numbers!! Dont get me wrong, i'll try.
But i dont know. But i'll try to watch something everyday.
But i'll enjoy it tho. Doesnt matter what the number will be in the end ;)
-
I never make a list ahead of time. I just watch whatever I am in the mood for when the time comes. I have my old favorites that I must watch every year... and then I have a load of horror in my collection that I never seen before. Not to mention all the Halloween episodes of many... many TV Series that I have to watch.
-
I understand you :) got a few personals aswell i have to see.
But i dont watch much tv-shows with any halloween or horror :\
But i got alot of new horror movies tho, that i cant wait to watch :D
-
Just another week and we can all enjoy! :yahoo:
-
I never make a list ahead of time.
Same for me... Sure I have a pile of unwatched movie that I've removed from my shelves to watch but this does not necessarily mean I'll watch them all...
By exemple I skip this one every years since 2008
(http://aesppres.com/phpdvdprofiler/images/thumbnails/I51BB7D10857F6365f.jpg)
It just looks too awfull to worth my time :shrug:
-
Hey Jimmy... You gonna watch The Sorority this year? :tease: :laugh:
-
Of course :dance:
Not really... I'll watch a movie in that awfull Mortuary of Madness set before rewatching that again :laugh:
But Maybe I'll watch Lizzie Borden II again as it wasn't that bad :hmmmm:
-
I never did get Lizzie Borden 2.
-
If you buy it cheap (and not brand new at release day as I did) the movie worth a try. I found it a lot better than the first one, but of course it isn't that hard to do :whistle:
The review I did in 2009 (http://www.dvdcollectorsonline.com/index.php/topic,695.msg86322.html#msg86322)
I guess I would buy a third part, but I doubt highly that one will be made.

This has been in my to watch pile for years and years as part of one of Troma's Toxie's Triple Terror sets... :laugh:

That is quite a good list you have there. :thumbup:
I will not join at all this year. I will watch horror whenever thew mood hits, of course, but since I not only do a hiking trip from 10/6 thru 10/9 I also will go to Germany starting October 18, so I won't even try to see how far I can get until then. Good luck to all who try to break any of their previous records :thumbsup:
-
I just checked my horror collection. As of the last purchase I made earlier this month.... I now have 1,039 horror films I could watch. And that is movies alone. Not including my TV Series, documentaries or shorts. :thumbup:
-
You need help Pete. Who needs that many horror DVDs? :tease:
-
Now Kathy... you should know by now... collecting DVDs has nothing to do with need. :P
-
Now Kathy... you should know by now... collecting DVDs has nothing to do with need. :P
Okay...who would want that many DVDs?
I can't imagine. I mean really...oh, wait a minute...erhm... :bag:
:laugh:
-
:laugh: Yeah... that's right Kathy! :laugh: I could only wish to have the size of a collection as you have! :tease:
-
Just a few days left now! :thumbup:
-
Yup... I can't wait! :yahoo:
-
Me neither! :D guess i should make my horrorfest thread soon aswell!
If i get 20 movies done, i'm happy :-[
-
I probably won't get all that many done this year... but I would like to. And I do have an extremely high goal. Just don't think I have any chance of hitting that goal. :bag:
-
Wow, addicted. That is some going for a single genre! :o
-
Yeah... I guess it is... but I have been collecting for 15 years now. Plus horror is my all time favorite genre... so it majorly added up on me.
-
Good luck Pete :) I know you will break my goal with ease!
My goal is 20 this year, but i hope i will get in a few more! :)
You know horror and war is my two absolute favourite genres so! :D
Only 4 days left!

I formatted a new review template for my horror marathon... fashioned after the current one some of us has been using....

I experimented with some horror/Halloween bars to replace the horizontal lines.... but it really threw off the look of the review so scrapped it.... and ended up with the above. I still need to work on something for the TV Show episodes I review.
-
So does this mean you really didn't like the film? The skull and cross bones can't be a good indicator :)
-
:laugh: That isn't a review... that is just a blank entry from the template! The skull and crossbones will look just like the stars currently do. For example they will look something more like...

The one that you see on the template is just a placeholder for the address where I keep the images at. :P
-
Good .. since you were using a real film and all it looked like either a film you really didn't like or something got lost in the cut/paste.
Cool ..
-
Nope... I am not allowed to watch any horror until the 1st. I been horror free for almost 6 weeks now! :stars:
-

No you aren't.
I been horror free for almost 6 weeks now! :stars:
6 weeks isn't a lot, I haven't watched one since may :P
Way too long and you can bet without risk it won't be the case next year...
-
Well Jimmy.... you know I went longer then 6 weeks in past years as well! :P
-
I know as we used to tease you everyday in those "can I do it" thread :laugh:
-
Yeah, you guys were relentless... notice I didn't even start one this year! :tease:
-
[...] I also will go to Germany starting October 18 [...]
Too late - Oktoberfest is over then! ;)
-
Too late - Oktoberfest is over then! ;)
I have only been to Munich twice in my life and never for the Octoberfest.
I will go to Octoberfest on Ocober 16, a German restaurant in the area does that or three weeks, incl. a small typical band. With a group of Taiwanese friends it's actually quite fun...
-
i bin nächstn Diensdog auf da Wies'n
I will be at the Oktoberfest next Tuesday.
-
I don't know how many I'll get through, but I'll do it again. I have fun with it. :)
I really don't know what I'll watch yet..though I do have some I watch every year...I've watched Sleepy Hollow every year on Halloween since I got the DVD..so like 10 years now.
-
Something strange for me: This week I would be really in the mood to watch some of the horror movies on my list. But it is not October yet, so I am holding off. I really hope, that I am still in the mood for it next week.
-
Just one day to go :whistle:
Hope your computer will be ok to start in 24 hours Pete.
-
Here in Norway where i live, its only 12.5hours till October! :yahoo:
Time to make my horror thread soon maby :-[
-
Only 7 minutes left for me now! :D
-
GO!
Not for me though. I don't really have a favourite genre, but among my least-favourites you'll find "Horror".
In my collection one will nevertheless find a certain amount from this genre, but they mostly are there even though, and not because, they are "Horror".
-
Only 7 minutes left for me now! :D
more than 5 hours here...
Not the end of the world, I wait to watch horror movie since may so I can wait 320 more minutes ;D
-
The time are flying by! So thats over in no time! ;)
-
I know...I even thought about watching a few already this week...but I ultimately held off.
I'll probably put in something after midnight...not sure what yet. Maybe something a little more silly...or one of the animated ones I have that I watch this time of year.
-
Its hard to hold off on the horror movies!
You should pick something silly! :) Silly is good!
-
I'll probably put in something after midnight...not sure what yet.
This is what I plan to do also, just not sure yet wich one between Mortuary or The Toolbox Murders I'll watch...
less than 3 hours and finally I will watch much better movies than all those mainstream productions I've listen recently... God that Miami Vice film was awfully bad and boring :yucky:
-
I'll be joining you for a few horror films as well. Mostly I like older horror films. I'm thinking of starting tomorrow evening with either Island of Lost Souls or Kuroneko.
-
I want to get through more of my Universal monster movie sets this year.
2 minutes to go here...I decided on The Frighteners to start with.
-

Almost ready to start :dance:
I just need to complete the profile for Dazed and Confused (love that one, cool independant movie and awesome soundtrack) I just watch and do a little trip at the grocery to get some stuff... I'll start with Mortuary ;D
-
Karsten Could you pin this thread and this one (http://www.dvdcollectorsonline.com/index.php/topic,7886.0.html)? Thanks ;D
-
I actually watched three last night. So I'm off to a decent start.
-
Better than me as I was too tired to watch one yesterday (I tried but my attention wasn't there)... Now that I've done what I've to do outside today I can really start. Just hope the one waiting in my computer won't be too boring and awfull, it's a new DTDVD release and usually I hate those films :laugh:
-
I've forgone my usual random.org and decided to join you guys for the most!
btw, just watched Spirit Trap which I grabbed because it starred Billie Piper. Don't bother guys, waste of time. Will write a bit shortly.
