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.

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.  I’ve yet to watch those Friday the 13th & Nightmare on Elm Street documentaries. 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

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. 
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  .

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.

THE LAST SHARK 1981
A notorious JAWS rip-off which was legally blocked from US cinemas. James Franciscus is Brody, er I mean Peter Benchley, oops I mean Peter Benton. Vic Morrow is Quint with a vague Scottish accent. They don't bother with a Hooper.
The underwater shark model is not convincing, however some of the life-scale shark stuff isn't bad in a stiff model sort of way. And they use some surprisingly good real shark footage as well.
At the end Franciscus is stranded on a raft as the shark is about to chomp on his buddy, who has been rigged with explosives. For no apparent reason other than to look cool, Franciscus leaps in slow motion from the raft as he presses the detonator. After the fake rubber shark explodes deep underwater, he climbs back onto the raft.

I Saw What You Did
William Castle's goofy, fun and almost effective exercise in crank phone calls gone wrong. The murder sequences come as quite a shock in comparison to the rest of the film's light and breezy tone. These scenes are also surprisingly brutal for their time, which makes them stand out among the other 75 minutes or so of teenage girls giggling on the phone while cheesy, upbeat music throbs away on the background.
7/10

FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 2 (1981)
Unlikeable "teens" stalked by a bumbling oaf with a sack on his head. Poor when I first saw it, still poor now.

Last night I watched a classic triple feature on the channel AMC
as part of it's " Halloween Fear Fest " all this month .
First one -
Second one -
Third and finally for that evening -
My only complaints with this marathon was
I wish it had started earlier like around 4PM instead of 8PM  .
I only got half way to Exorcist 3
and could not stay awake surprisingly   .
Oh well perhaps this channel will
have another showing on again soon ( it was still fun to watch what I was able to just the same ) .

Oldie horrors only for me: Cry Of The Werewolf (1944), a decent, offbeat werewolf picture from Columbia which felt part Universal, in its werewolfery and Gypsies, part Val Lewton in tone and storytelling. There weren't many truly frightening scenes aside from some suspenseful ones, the screenplay was mediocre, however the cast was game, with good work from Nina Foch and Osa Massen, a nice, too brief turn from John Abbott, a strident one from Barton MacLane. Blood and thunder horror, not, and yet it's a handsome film, probably better suited to classic film lovers than those looking for something shocking.

Little Evil...lighthearted horror comedy with inspiration from the omen. Solid watch, pretty fun.
