Title: Halloween! 2016
Post by: Ratty on October 05, 2016, 05:51:04 PM
A rush of cool air, the sound of leaves crackling underfoot, it's that time of year again boils and ghouls. So here is our yearly thread to discuss anything and everything related to the upcoming best holiday. From costume plans or parties to whatever music you're listening to, movies you're watching or games you're playing in celebration. Stay safe and have a good one this year everybody!

I always saw this song as "The Heavy Metal Monster Mash."





During the week leading up to October, I played through the Costume Quest games, knowing I wouldn't make time for games this month. (All about dat horror movie marathon.) I love how these games, especially the first one, just brings you back to that time of being a kid going trick-or-treating. Fun I can no longer have, but maybe one day I'll have kids I can vicariously live through, heh.


I have plans for a Betrayal at House on the Hill night at my place with the new expansion coming out soon. Do a couple games of that, watch a movie, maybe start a bonfire, good times.


Aside from that, might go to the local theme park for its Halloween-themed season, go to an apple orchard, and might head up to Duluth for horror attractions there, all with the lovely lady.


I'll update later today or this weekend on the first week's round of October Horrorthon 2016. I've watched some damn good stuff so far, hope I can continue to have time to do so.

(All about dat horror movie marathon.)

I've decided to follow your lead on that this year and have been watching more horror movies, some of these I watched just before October but so far I've got-

Alien - Classic

Aliens - Classic

Waxwork - Not as good as I remember from when I was 12, but precious little is. Still a nice little monster movie from the genre golden age that was the 80s.

Monster Bash - Here's an interesting one, low budget horror comedy that's basically just a wrestling pay-per-view style event but with monsters. Enjoyable for what it is, but would only recommend to people who (like myself) are both fans of vintage wrestling and classic monsters. Prominent cameos from wrestling legends Jimmy "Mouth from the South" Hart and Kevin "nWo" Nash.

Wolf Cop - low-budget low-brow horror-themed comedy.

Cat People - A Val Lewton horror classic for people too snooty to appreciate the Universal monsters. The film is beautifully shot but it always bugs me every time I watch it. Because the moral lesson seems to be "weird foreign girls can't be trusted, marry the all-american girl you work with". The "villain" of the film is treated like trash the whole time from the ostensible heroes.

Curse of the Cat People - My first time watching this, it's not really a horror film, but it was marketed like one. (In fact iirc the name and marketing materials for the film were made before the script.) A direct sequel to the first, at least the moral of this film is less repugnant. The message here being "Hey maybe don't neglect and be a jerk to your kids just because they don't fit in."

Bugs Bunny Shorts - "Transylvania 6-5000" and "The Abominable Snow Rabbit", classics.

Nosferatu The Vampyre is probably the most underrated Dracula film of all time and perhaps the greatest!

Great choice. I'm going to have to watch that again soon too!

Due to health reasons I'm probably not going to be up doing much this year, sadly.  I've got to go for eye surgery that's not of the optional kind at some point in the next several weeks.  I think it's going to be a quiet one for me this year.  I really love Halloween as well  I miss the Halloween fancy dress goth nights, which I made costumes for a few times several years ago.
Title: Re: Halloween! 2016

Be well man! Take it easy.

I decided I'm gonna try and dress up as captain Nemo. I guess it shouldn't be too hard to buy a captain's hat and a suit and modify them with the Nautilus insignia. Gonna serve as a nice break from my studies.
Title: Re: Halloween! 2016
Post by: TatteredSeraph on October 09, 2016, 03:52:31 PM
Thanks, much appreciated.  Even if I'm not recovering from the surgery then, I'm going to be mentally prepping for it.  I might at most celebrate by wearing something inspired by Susan Sto Helit, Lestat, or Alucard, depending on my mood that day.  The test for the condition I'm at risk of (which the surgery is to try and prevent) was bad enough to leave me shunning light for three days like a vampire, and generally feeling headachy.

I will be doing my annual movie marathon with a few friends.

This year's will be much more musical than past marathons, and who does better horror musicals than Darren Lynn Bousman and Terrence Zdunich?

Ergo, the lineup!

I really need to get into some horror games this month. I have Outlast, the Penumbra Collection, and Amnesia all just sitting here, and I need to finally get started on at least one of them.

My wife also wants me to dress up for a Halloween party at her workplace, but I have no friggin' clue what I want to do this year. I'm too lazy to make a costume, and it's no fun to just go and buy one. I don't know...maybe Jesse Custer would be easy to pull off? But then I'd have to shave my beard.  :(

---------
Watched a few more movies for my horrorthon-

Chopping Mall - Surprisingly charming killer-robots-on-the-loose movie from the golden age of VHS rentals. It has a few great lines like "I'm sorry. It's not you, Ferdy. I guess I'm just not used to running around a shopping mall in the middle of the night being chased by killer robots."

The Unholy - Completely forgettable demon/possession film. Pretty slow, a few nice and some laughably goofy practical effects are all to recommend it.

Slaughter High AKA April Fool's Day - An interesting if unsuccessful attempt at a slasher film. Some unique kills and halfway nonsensical ending if you're into that sort of thing.

Ghoulies Go to College AKA Ghoulies 3 - It's not bad for a low budget monster comedy, but it's no Ghoulies 2.

So I helped co-direct a Halloween horror-tribute album called DANSE MACABRE 5. It's been happening every year for the past 5 years and I was lucky enough to help with it this year. Might be why it's the largest compilation yet, but I digress.....

It's completely free and any donations go to charity. Perfect mix of arrangements and covers of horror and suspense movie and game music, including some badass Castlevania pieces.

Man I'll never catch up to you lol. I just don't have the attention span to sit through a whole movie anymore. Tried to get through "The Babadook", found it too boring, tried "Donnie Darko", found it pretentious and boring. I did watch a few in the last week though-

Isle of the Snake People - There were no snake people, a more accurate title would have been "Isle of the elderly Boris Karloff, cannibal women, bellydancing and some Voodoo zombies we guess." It's creepy in all the wrong ways (live chicken sacrifice, guy keeping a mindless zombie as a girlfriend) but it's one of Boris Karloff's last films and though he's not in it much he smanages to still be captivating, worth watching for him alone. Or at least fast forwarding to his scenes.

I Walked With a Zombie - Another voodoo zombie film and a Val Lewton classic, I enjoyed it more than I did when I initially saw it many years ago. Mostly because I know enough about Voodoo now, and wasn't always just waiting to see a zombie.

The Body Snatcher - A Val Lewton/Boris Karloff classic (with glorified cameo from Bela Lugosi) can't take your eyes off Karloff in this one, which he plays with cordial menace. Great cinematography, sets and costumes for 1830s Edinburgh. Only handicapped by most of the cast having the wrong accents.

Glad to see a Claudio Simonetti track on there. Ya can't say "horror movie music" without Simonetti, heh.

Last year I got the limited soundtrack tin for Demons and it stacks up pretty nicely against the Blu-ray steelbooks.

That is so weird! I could have sworn it was "BerenSTEIN" ahh well.

Finally saw the original 1974 "Texas Chain Saw Massacre", it was good and pretty brutal for the time. But honestly most of those kids were just asking to get murdered. Wondering into someone you don't even know's house? That's a good way to get shot in real life. Leatherface was visibly confused. Rob Zombie was pretty shameless in ripping off- er, """paying homage""" to this one with "House of 1000 Corpses" & "The Devil's Rejects".

Also saw "The Phantom" (1996) which while a lighthearted super hero movie set in the 1930s is not directly related to Halloween (though the Phantom himself is a mortal man who pretends to be a ghost to scare criminals and pirates- the character's creation predates Batman) is tangentially, at least for me. Because the film is almost certainly what inspired part of my favorite wrestling match of all time. Eddie Guerrero vs. Rey Mysterio Jr. at Halloween Havoc 1997! Wherein Rey Mysterio Jr. (who has graduated to just "Rey Mysterio" these days) wears Luchadore cosplay of the Phantom.

First time seeing it? In my opinion, it remains one of the most relentless and violent movies ever made. There's absolutely no gore to be seen, but the suggested violence is so painful and the terror so palpable. It ranks (in my book) among the most uncompromising horror movies, alongside John Carpenter's The Thing, Suspiria, and The Evil Dead. Horror movies don't get any better.

First time seeing it? In my opinion, it remains one of the most relentless and violent movies ever made. There's absolutely no gore to be seen, but the suggested violence is so painful and the terror so palpable. It ranks (in my book) among the most uncompromising horror movies, alongside John Carpenter's The Thing, Suspiria, and The Evil Dead. Horror movies don't get any better.

Yep was my first time seeing it. Have since since part 2 and liked it better, totally black, pure over the top 1980s gross out comedy. The original was well made but it's been imitated so much it's lost it's power for me.

TCM2 is a lot of fun. Doesn't hold a candle to the original, but it's a good way to do a sequel—something completely different.



H'weentober finale. I didn't get around to many of the ones I planned on seeing, but at 50 movies (that number being a happy accident), it's way more than I've watched in previous years.

42. Cannibal Holocaust (1980, dir. Ruggero Deodato)
43. Madman (1982, dir. Joe Giannone)
44. Audition (1999, dir. Takashi Miike)
45. The Lords of Salem (2012, dir. Rob Zombie)
46. FleshEater (1988, dir. Bill Hinzman)
47. Horror of Dracula (1958, dir. Terence Fisher)
48. The Exorcist (1973, dir. William Friedkin)
49. Hocus Pocus (1993, dir. Kenny Ortega)
50. Body Bags (1993, dirs. John Carpenter, Tobe Hooper)

You look horrific, good job! How you did this mask? I can't distinguish if its some kind of leather or fabric.(Its already 01:23 here)

it's a fabric part of the costume, i did away with it for most of the weekend in order to ᴄᴏɴ~sᴜᴍᴇ.
also, no pockets or pee-hole for the costume, so my assistant had to carry everything...

This wasn't exactly on Halloween but a day or two before. This is what my sister and I dressed up as for a church Halloween party haha. Only a handful of people got who we were too. Not to mention you can tell we both don't smoke by the way we have our fake cigs.

"Bring out the gimp!"
Oh man, your costume is spot on.
Guess church people are not fucked up enough to recognize your characters.
