RIPPA Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 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) PREVIOUS YEARS 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 (The rest were lost to space and time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 But which versions of Black Christmas? I mean I'm sure somebody did the original but whoever made somebody watch the remake should have to watch something equally terrible. I'm in of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share Posted September 4, 2019 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I couldn't not pick it. Literally half the conversations I had with Justin were about slasher films. It's very very possible I'm also the person who picked Hatchet both times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share Posted September 4, 2019 Lacelle supposedly picked the same movie two years in a row too (as least according to a post in one of those old Havoc threads) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Execproducer Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I'm in. And @RIPPA, you can add Critters 2 to the previously reviewed list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Oh, it was also me that picked Black Christmas for Havoc. You know, maybe I just really like Black Christmas. (And, yes, obviously I'm in) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Posting this here as personal reminder as what I've already picked Spoiler Demons Lifeforce Possession Inferno The House by the Cemetery ...so I promise this year I'll pick something domestic and probably far less art-y. But probably as violent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) 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. Edited September 9, 2019 by J.T.

odessasteps Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Oddly, most of guys here on night shift seem to be watching Anime. I think mostly DBZ. I think for a while it was Attack of the Titans. Meanwhile, I’m usually in my office listening to podcasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.K.o.S. Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 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.

FluffSnackwell Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 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.

nate Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I'm torn between a classic or pure junk food cinema. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

odessasteps Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Btw, do enough of us have the Criterion channel that a film streaming on there is a suitable choice, if it’s also not available on Netflix or Prime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
