Watch eeeet!Tucker and Dale vs. Evil. If you don't know this movie, read NOTHING about it before you watch.
Since there's no alcohol involved, we figured we shouldn't spell it the proper way.Oktoberfest*.
Tucker and Dale vs. Evil. If you don't know this movie, read NOTHING about it before you watch. Same with Cabin in the Woods. Both are available on Netflix and are genre-bending movies.
We've all watched both and LOVE both! They're definitely on the list.Watch eeeet!
You want to, believe me!
Don't even read the Netflix description for Tucker and Dale vs. Evil.Tucker and Dale vs. Evil. If you don't know this movie, read NOTHING about it before you watch. Same with Cabin in the Woods. Both are available on Netflix and are genre-bending movies.
I can't lie....but Blind Mag is on my list. Hopefully next year. =^^= I fell in love with her opera costume, so hopefully thats the one I can make.And to @LittleKagsin I expect to see you dressed as Blind Mag at some point, I think you would pull it off perfectly.
Oh, I'd say whole hog on the Full Moon ouvre. Demonic Toys, Puppet Master, Subspecies.http://www.escapistmagazine.com/vid...st&utm_medium=index_carousel&utm_campaign=all
Needs some ideas for your own Octoberfest? How about PUPPET MASTER! Or any of its NINE sequels?

Also Oktoberfest takes place primarily in September, ending on the first Sunday in October. So I'd say spelling it Octoberfest in this instance is correct.Since there's no alcohol involved, we figured we shouldn't spell it the proper way.
We've all watched both and LOVE both! They're definitely on the list.
Dead Alive is on the list, but I've never heard of The Frighteners. Consider it added!If you watch The Frighteners then you might as well watch Dead Alive too for the Jackson combo. If you can only watch one, get The Frighteners.
Update: It wasn't actually my copy of the Frighteners that arrived, but a key piece of my Halloween costume that was not expected to arrive for another two to three weeks. The Frighteners still hasn't arrived. I thought it was weird that it'd go to the post office. DVDs usually just get plopped in my mail box.The Frighteners (1996).
I actually ordered it off Amazon a little while ago specifically for an upcoming Halloween movie night/ party and it just arrived at the post office today. I can't pick it up until tomorrow though. None of my friends have seen it before but I love it, so I am excited to see how they react. I watch it whenever I see it on TV. Only this year did I realize it is perfect Halloween viewing though.
That's about how I felt. The first 2/3rds of the movie are genuinely unsettling (about the highest praise I can give a horror movie) but it entirely falls apart in the third act when Mama is onscreen constantly.Mama
So far in our Octoberfest, this is the first movie to genuinely make me scared. The fact that most of what Mama does isn't CGI is even creepier. But, like Insidious once Mama was revealed, I found her less intimidating. And honestly, there were some plot holes that I kind of got hung up on. But, I survived and managed to watch the whole movie. The best is that my friends and I are still quoting this movie a few weeks later. "Mama! Come!"
Jesus CHRIST, no wonder you're binging on horror movies. I've been watching them so long, I don't conciously remember NOT having regularly watched horror movies.Cabin in the Woods
I LOVE this movie. I consider it the first real horror movie I've ever watched (Yes, I was that sheltered.)
Yep, I've never watched horror movies in my life until last year. And even then, I wouldn't really consider last years' Octoberfest to be horror, it was a bunch of child-ish 'scary' movies.Jesus CHRIST, no wonder you're binging on horror movies.

Silence of the Lambs
I'm somewhat ashamed I hadn't seen this movie earlier since it's such a cinema classic. But I have finally watched it! And I really, really liked it. The way it was filmed and Anthony Hopkins' performance? Absolutely stellar. I was somewhat taken out of the moment because before she had spoken on screen my friend made a joke that Jodie Foster sounds like a man and....she kind of does. So, we laughed about that for a little while - taking the moment away. The intensity that builds is great and the final confrontation doesn't disappoint, in my opinion. I mean, come on, she has to find a serial killer in the dark?? It was creepy and I'm glad I've seen some more cinema history.
I'd recommend watching Red Dragon if you liked this movie. It's based off the novel that preceeds Silence of the Lambs.
From Hell
I had no idea what to expect from this and I have to say, overall, I really enjoyed it. I found the fantasy elements fun and they didn't take away from the story for me. My friends and I find serial killer cases pretty fascinating so this movie was an easy choice for us. I thought the inclusion of the 'From Hell' letter was a nice touch in the film. I thought the film was an interesting jaunt into the theory of who Jack the Ripper was and I enjoyed that they wrapped things up, when in actuality there was no closure.
This movie is one of my favorite speculative history movies.
Tucker and Dale vs. Evil
Oh, this movie! I'm a huge fan of horror comedies (it's why I love Cabin in the Woods and Zombieland so much!) so when we watched this I was an instant fan. We agreed to watch it again this year because it's amazing. Just...the absurdity of it all, it's hilarious! Odd fact, the director of this movie also directed the Zombieland series. Anyway. One of the best things about this movie is how quotable it is. My friends and I love to quote movies and this one sure is fun to include. I think it's safe to say we will probably watch it again next year.
I've said multiple times that this movie is awesome and everyone should see it without reading anything about it before hand.
Carrie (1976)
We decided to watch this in preperation for the re-make. My friends and I are all pretty big Chloe-Grace Moretz fans and so we intended to see the re-make for my friends birthday. I knew very little about this movie other than the end scene. And even then, I didn't really know what was going on. But I do now. And poor Carrie! Like, I just feel so bad for her and I actually was rooting for her in the end scene as she basically massacres everyone. I think, despite it's age, that this movie holds up. Sure there are some dated things, but overall, it was a great film I thought.
The original movie was damn faithful to the novel for the most part, so it's always had a special place in my heart. I loved Sissy Spacek as Carrie.
Carrie (remake - 2013)
I may actuallly have to go see this now.We couldn't wait to go see this movie, the original fresh in our minds (we watched it the night before we went to see this one). And it didn't disappoint. At all. The funny gripe I hear from a lot of people is that it's too close to the original. Really? Really? Because last time I checked both films were made from the same source material, so of course there will be many many similarities. I honestly liked both films. They both have their merits. I felt this one portrayed just how crazy Carrie's mom is a bit better (all of her self harm and getting pleasure from it). And it gave a little more build up for Carrie's powers. In the original, she barely uses the telekenisis and then at the prom all of a sudden she has full control of everything. In this one, it showed Carrie practising her skills and building up to moving larger objects. The end scene was fantastic and I felt this one was more satisfying. Overall, I really liked it and I'm glad I saw it.
