Nicktoberfest 2014

It's nearly October. My new annual tradition I started a few years ago rears its head again: NICKTOBERFEST.

For all of October, I plan on watching at least one horror flick every night. This will also include a smattering of shorter stuff like Halloween themed episodes of shows (like Buffy), and Disney cartoon shorts like The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

Anyone have any suggestions for my list? So far, I've decided on:

-Hellraiser 1 & 2
-Slither
-Legend of Sleepy Hollow, as mentioned above
-Cabin in the Woods
-Killer Klowns From Outer Space
-Trick 'r Treat
-Scream (been a long, long time since I saw it)
-Insidious 1 & 2, since I dug those a lot
-The Stuff
-Black Sheep (the Australian horror movie, not the David Spade/Chris Farley comedy)
-Seven
-Fallen
-Young Frankenstein
-Bride of Frankenstein
-The Mangler
-Cube
-Maximum Overdrive
-The Thing
-Pontypool
-Halloween
-Psycho
-Critters (maybe 1 AND 2)
-In the Mouth of Madness
-The Exorcist
-Splice
-Jeepers Creepers
-Monster Squad
-Alien

Probably be watching some classic slasher stuff since that's my favourite sub-genre of horror. Not sure what, yet, since I wouldn't have time for ALL Nightmare on Elm St and ALL Friday the 13 movies and still have room for other good stuff.

Any suggestions? I'm probably not going to bother with stuff like The Saw movies or a lot of the crap teen horror flicks in recent years.

Huh. Been a long while since I've watched Halloween or The Thing. Added. I watched the Evil Dead remake earlier this year. Liked it, but not enough to watch it again so soon. I watched Evil Dead 2 last year, so might do Army of Darkness this year. Haven't seen The Descent in a long while, so that might be watched. Thanks. :)

I know I've mentioned it before, but WPIX used to have "Shock-tober" around here where they'd play a different horror movie every night. I think that's how I started liking horror movies. For the sake of nostalgia, I'd probably watch Creepshow, Tales from the Darkside, and Cat's Eye.

All three of those were on last year's list. :D Loved all of them, but I want to try mixing it up a bit, ya know?

I see The Thing already mentioned so my work here is done.

Oh, also, try Phantasm. It's a pretty great cult classic.



I mean, shit, the main villain is the basis of Slender Man.

I'll just leave this here. It's not a proper horror marathon without a proper horror host...

Throw in some classic Hammer/Corman-era stuff, like Masque of the Red Death or The Death Wheelers (orig: Psychomania) or Pit and the Pendulum.

My parents let me watch that when I was like 8. I was terrified of those damn balls for years. It actually holds up pretty well, too.

I did find out later why the balls move so realistically. They hired a professional baseball pitcher to throw them.

I'll once again out Lake Mungo out there as a surprising little treat done not as found footage, but as a documentary. Effectively clever and creepy, although a bit subdued.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.

For when you need to cleanse your mental palate after the serious stuff.

Don't forget Return of the Killer Tomatoes. John Astin is fantastic in that. Also how can you turn down George Clooney's first plum role?

Also, it has one of the best boomerang moments in cinema.
