HALLOWEEN HAVOC 2019 - The Setup Thread


RIPPA

Recommended Posts

Okay - since I am an idiot - I will take over the reigns. Quick reminder - this is not be confused with the HorrorFest threads where people just post about the movies they watched in October.

Standard rules apply like all the other themes we have going.

STEP 1: Respond to say that you are in

STEP 2: PM me a movie selection that you feel best represents "Halloween". (Ideally with an explanation for why you are picking it)

NOTES

- Please try and select a movie that is easily available to find (streaming services or Youtube is the best)

- Please try not to select something that was done in a previous year.

- No real life animal cruelty (This is a rule from the past that I am keeping)

- Bonus reviews gladly accepted (these can be where you scratch your TV episodes itch)

Quick observations from me

Hatchet has been picked twice already. Both versions of Night of the Demons are done. I think Black Christmas was reviewed for Halloween AND Christmas

The original was in Havoc

I could have sworn it was the original in Christmas too - but it also could have just been you and JT discussing how you couldn't believe the original wasn't picked

EDIT

Yeah it was the original and here is the best part - @Brian Fowler was the one who picked (and should have known better) and @J.T. reviewed it which is too on brand

I have re-upped my Netflix so feel free to assign me any horror shiz from there. 

I was planning on trimming down to just Amazon Prime, but thought better of it after watching The Witch redux on Sunday night.

We have an intern here who is beginning her journey through Scary Netflix, so I thought The Witch deserved a rewatch so that we could talk about it over lunch today.

I've seen Hush and The Ritual like a million times a piece, so I think I'm good on those two fronts.

I really should rewatch Gerald's Game, though.

I feel insanely stupid for asking, but is there a deadline to sign up?

I gotta watch a few candidates in order to even be able to pick a movie, and last year I signed up and then dropped out as I realized I didn't have enough time to come up with something good.

J.T., have you watched Lifechanger yet? It's one of those body-jumping movies like The Hidden with a unique twist that the being actually feels existential dread having to constantly jump from body to body. 

I have heard good things about it, but never checked it out. 

I have been busy with loads of real life crap and my horror movie watching free time has been used while getting myself caught up on all of the good shit on Netflix that I have missed since I let my subscription lapse.

Okay - this is who I have as in

  • RIPPA
  • Curt McGirt*
  • Execproducer
  • JT
  • Brian Fowler
  • Nate
  • Travis Sheldon
  • Ultimo Necro*

* - indicates I already have their pick

Let's say that Monday, Sept 16 is the deadline to join and get me a pick. (There is a little wiggle room there but I want folks to have time to watch and review)
