Kicked off the October challenge today with Halloween 4: The Return of Michae Myers. I remember this being one of my favorites in the franchise but man... it did not hold up. I rated it a 4/10 and can’t help feeling like I was being a little generous. Everything about it was just cringeworthy for me. Ah well, maybe I’ll have fun with it again some day with a couple beers.
Oh yeah almost forgot to mention the DOPE costume and mask selection at the discount mart. That alone was probably worth a point.

Wow. I haven't seen 'To Hell & Back' yet lostinlimbo and didn't know it existed but I will have to look out for it the next time I place an order on Amazon. Thanks for sharing that trailer on here. I didn’t know about it either, until a friend lent it out to me other week. He said it wasn’t easy to come across, and had to splurge a little more money than he usually would. But it’s a very good doco, especially the personal stories about his childhood and of course what he went through after the fatal burn incident when starting up his career. Very emotional and inspiring. Not one to miss, if you get the chance. I sadly wasn't able to find it on the Australian Amazon store. They have it on the American Amazon store but it is only available on Blu Ray which wouldn't have worked on our Blu Ray player if we could still order from there. I will have to look into some other sites to get it but they might eventually get it on the Australian Amazon store 'cause there is more being added every day.

It just so happens I have seen 'Wes Craven's 'They' movie mszanadu and that is a good movie too and I have watched a lot of Wes Craven's movies over the years and two of his lesser known movies I watched in the past year were 'Never Look Down' and 'Night Visions' but I think the most underrated movie Wes worked on was 'Wishmaster' and if you haven't seen them you should watch the 'Wishmaster' movies. There are four movies in the franchise and I think the first one was the best but I liked 2 and 3 too. Robert Englund recently called 'Wishmaster' one of the most underrated Horror movies of all time and thinks the franchise needs to be brought back and Andrew Divoff who plays the Djinn has said he wants to do another movie. 
The " Wishmaster Films " are definite
favorites of mine here too
( and have all 4 films on DVD )  .
These also make my list of Halloween films
to watch for the month of October also  .
I remember watching '' Night Visions '' on TV many years ago as well
but I'm not familiar with the film '' Never Look Down ''  .
who played the Djinn in the
first 3 Wishmaster films
was excellent indeed  .
who played the Djinn in the fourth & final film
as well  .
Again thanks so much DebLovesBeccy
for your film recommendations and your replies here too  .
I am glad to hear you have seen and liked the 'Wishmaster' movies mszanadu 'cause they are some of my favourite Horror movies in the 90s and early 00s and I am not sure if you heard but Andrew Divoff actually wrote a 'Wishmaster' movie called 'The Third Millennium' which sadly never came to be 'cause the studio thought it was too expensive to make at the time and this is what he said about it in an interview from last year. It is a shame he never got to make it 'cause it sounds like it could have been an interesting movie and things have changed with special effects since they made those movies and maybe it is possible for them to make a movie like that now for a cheaper price. I completely agree with him that 'Wishmaster 5' should happen and there is still a lot of life in it and we don't have many new movies like 'Wishmaster' anymore so it would be something that would really stand out. We are currently re-watching 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' here and are up to the final episode of Season 2 ('Becoming Part 2') and we are going to re-watch 'Angel' too when we have finished Season 3.![]()

Day of the Dead Bloodline...meh, not all that fun or inspired. Still has plenty of zombie guts. Hammy acting.

I hope everyone is feeling good in your October hunts anad haunts. Escape from the Planet of the Apes 1971, directed by Don Taylor, starring Roddy McDowall, Kim Hunter, Bradford Dillman (playing a nice guy for once) and others. Mixing a bit of science-fiction and a bit of satire about celebrity status and how flighty it actually is.. Entertaining 3rd installment of the series, with a sad ending  Mocking Senator hearings.

THE NIGHT CHILD 1975-- Richard Johnson and Joanna Cassidy star in Euro-horror inspired by the Exorcist but pretty mild in the demonic possession department. Another thread discussed actresses who you were surprised went nude well, I remember a Joanna Cassidy interview where she related an experience making a movie overseas early in her career and she was forced to do a nude scene. I guess she got over it because she has one with Richard Johnson here! She has a great laugh btw.

I totally agree here DebLovesBeccy a part 5 sequel for the Wishmaster film series would be so excellent as well as overdue also  .

The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016) - 7/10
An interesting movie with a nice set-up and a halfway original idea. I think it would have been more effective as a supernatural thriller, the horror elements were a bit clichéd and the ending felt a bit rushed, it's as if they didn't really know how to wrap up the story in a satisfying way.

Day of the Dead Bloodline...meh, not all that fun or inspired. Still has plenty of zombie guts. Hammy acting. Just saw this the other day too, a sort of remake. It was entertaining enough. Still, much better than Day of the Dead: Contagium (2005).

Watched Wishmaster (1997), which I did see back when it came out, but not the three sequels, which I plan on watching for the first time next.

Yeah, my friend picked up his bluray copy on eBay, but you’re paying more for it on that site. But it’s fairly new, so it might show up around Christmas time on the local Amazon site, or even streaming channels.

Thanks so much again for your reply here too  . Some fun trivia about the first movie I forgot to mention before that I don't know if you picked up on but 'Wishmaster' had the actors who played Freddy Kreuger, Jason Vorhees, Candy Man and Reggie Bannister (from the 'Phantasm' movies) and I thought it was fun seeing them altogether in one movie and there have been a few other Horror movies I have seen that do that but 'Wishmaster' was one of the first I picked up on.

They are adding more things to the Australian store as I said and I am noticing it often when I look up books and movies on the site and they have ones they weren't there before and they also have their own Marketplace now much like the American store had which gets more movies in from America that aren't on the main Amazon and it will most likely turn up on one of those stores towards Christmas. Have you seen the documentaries of 'His Name Was Jason: 30 Years of Friday the 13th' and 'Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy?' I have both of them on DVD and you might want to check them out if you haven't seen them.

I watched Halloween (1978) at the cinema last night. They had a 40th anniversary showing for one night. It was cool to see this on the big screen.

You're absolutely right there DebLovesBeccy  !!
Since ( and surprisingly ) I have not watched my collection in forever I actually forgot about that and checked the Wikipedia movie profile page too  .
Excellent catch there also a definite all star horror film cast indeed  .
For me it's time to dig out this collection from my DVD Library
and watch it as part of my Halloween / month of October
seriously awesome horror films list too  .
Also speaking of " Buffy the Vampire Slayer "
I actually have not watched the entire series
( some episodes I have in the past and it was quality fun )
was definitely a darkly fun adventure too  .
Again thanks so much for your wonderful replies here also  .

I finally got to watch last night on one of the MAX Channels
IMPO - An excellent film that really filled in the blanks
to one of the main characters background storyline - Elise Rainier  .
This film also had a few freaky yet awesome twist and turns
I certainly did not see coming at all either
( this film definitely exceeded my expectations of it as well ! )  .
