Octoblur 2014 Extra: Favorites Excluded!
Written by dorrk | 19 October 2014 |
Absolutely no one has asked me why I haven't included many well-known classics this Octoblur, but I'm going to answer it anyway: I've seen most of them.
One of my goals every October is to make a sizable dent in my horror movie-queue, and that is predominately made up of movies I haven't seen, or, if I have seen them, it's been a reeaaallly long time. I went over to Flickchart tonight and pulled out a list of my all-time favorite horror movies, to give an indication of what I really like, but am almost definitely not watching this month:
- The Exorcist
- The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
- The Shining
- The Fly
- An American Werewolf in London
- Psycho
- Poltergeist
- Little Shop of Horrors
- The Thing
- Alien
- The Omen
- Rosemary's Baby
- Halloween
- Jaws
- Nosferatu (1922)
- The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2
- Frankenstein
- The Return of the Living Dead
- The Phantom of the Opera (1925)
- Bride of Frankenstein
- Gremlins
- Re-Animator
- Altered States
- Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)
- The Cabin in the Woods
- Let the Right One In
- Orphan
- Night of the Creeps
- Dawn of the Dead (1978 & 2004)
- The House of the Devil
- The Wicker Man
- Shaun of the Dead
- Evil Dead II
- Videodrome
- The Orphanage
- The Funhouse
You can't go wrong with any of those, IMO, but I don't feel compelled to watch them as part of this project. I did, however, pull a few movies from that list that I really need to re-watch, and may do so in the next two weeks for Octoblur:
- The Brood
- The Island of Dr. Moreau
- Suicide Club
- Feast
- Ringu
- From Beyond
