I'm watching right now for the very first time
a really awesome classic film on TCM ( Turner Classic Movies )
and IMPO it's a great way to start off the October season just right too .
An excellent classic storyline here as well .
Great twist ending too. The cherry on top.
I totally agree here lostinlimbo
this one was a rare gem indeed
and was so glad TCM put
this one on it's channel that day too .
Thanks so much for your reply .

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

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. 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. Hopefully you are right. 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 ! ) .

The House Where Death Lives (1981), which is more famously known as Delusion. Had potential but kinda boring and silly. Features John Dukakis from Jaws 2, the adopted son of former presidential nominee, Michael Dukakis.

I usually rewatch horror for October more than find new ones to check out.
HOUSE OF USHER 1960
"Can't you hear it? She calls my name. Roderick! Roderick!"
LYCANTHROPUS aka WEREWOLF IN A GIRLS DORMITORY 1961 One of those forgotten werewolf movies--the werewolf is not very hairy but kind of creepy-and its a "guess who is the werewolf" story. The makeup effectively hid the identity of the killer.

Heard/ and read nothing but good things about ‘em though.

The unrelated straight-to-dvd sequel Urban Legends; Bloody Mary (2008) was a silly, yet watachable supernatural slasher by director Mary Lambert (Pet Sematary) and starring Kate Mara. The plot plays out like your typical revenge ghost story filled with contrived plotting, and gimmicky kills. A couple deaths are creative and skin-crawling, but the cgi used in one particular scene involving spiders and goofy distorted ghost editing sort of destroys some of the impact.

IT! 1967
What a strange film. The Golem statue is rather cool looking, and Roddy McDowall acts up a storm-but there is something incoherent about it starting with McDowall keeping a mummified corpse in his house and his would be girlfriend calling him by his last name for the whole movie! It becomes hopelessly ridiculous by the conclusion.

WHAT KEEPS YOU ALIVE (2018) - part of the October challenge
A psycho in the wilderness type horror focussing on a lesbian married couple, which was a refreshing dynamic. Easily one of my favourite horrors of the year

Yes. It was and I think the creators of the movie deliberately put together an all star Horror cast for Horror fans and they do that with some Horror movies and it is one of the things I have always liked about the genre. I don't know if you noticed but in 'Jason Goes to Hell' there was a scene with Kane Hodder without the mask or makeup on and he played security guard and it was fun seeing him play a different character for a change but I kinda wish they had showed him fighting Jason and he had put up a fight 'cause that would have been amusing. I am surprised you haven't watched the entire series of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' yet mszanadu but you should try to sometime along with the spinoff series, 'Angel' 'cause both are fantastic series and are two of my favourite TV shows of all time and I never get tired of watching them. I have seen Kristy in a few movies and actually watched her in a Christmas movie with Dean Cain last year and did you know she was in 'The Phantom' with Billy Zane.

HOUSE OF EXORCISM -- I had seen LISA AND THE DEVIL a couple of times. This was a truly bizarre re-edit--and I was skeptical it was really Elke Sommer swearing and doing all the crazy demon possession stuff but it seems there's no evidence for a lookalike.

[Rec 4: Apocalypse]. Having only watched the remake "Quarantine" and it's sequel. I was still familiar with the general plot of the films.
*spoilers?* I really hate the scene of an infected Monkey being boiled alive as it screamed. I know it's CGI. But ugh. It upset me. I sound like a Putz. Heh.

The Hidden (1987)
More of an action/sci-fi hybrid than horror, The Hidden has a lot of good ideas that never quite gel. The action keeps going and there is enough humor to keep things entertaining but the two leads are as interesting as a bowl of white rice. A solid flick that maybe could've used some punching up on the script by, say, Shane Black. Imagine Riggs and Murtaugh thrown into this movie and you'd have an all-time classic.

Also not wanting to see an animal
or the idea of one being harmed or killed
does NOT make you a putz here at all
it makes you a caring person -
no crime at all here with me on this .

has certain made a name for himself
in the horror category / genre .
Also I remember a few years ago ( and when the former channel called FEARNET was still on the air ) KH played in a Fearnet original webseries
Unfortunately the " feature-length film "
wasn't as effective or eerie as the webisodes were ( yet the film wasn't bad it was still watchable just the same ) .
Thanks so much again DebLovesBeccy for all
this awesome trivia on these memorable actors and films too .

The Evil (1978): A group of people are trapped in a haunted mansion. Could the house be inhabited by none other than Satan himself?
This turned out to be a very ordinary, cliched horror film. Completely devoid of tension, thrills, and any sense of real scariness. It had the bland feel of a made-for-TV movie.
Good cast though, which included Richard Crenna, Andrew Prine, and the lovely Mary Louise Weller.
