I hope this week has been fun for you participating in the October Horror Challenge, many of those on the imdb horror board have really been getting a lot of viewings under their belt, but I'm a realist. I have confidence that I will complete the challenge, but if I continue to write blog reviews for the movies I watch, there's just no way I'll be watching like five movies a day. And this has been a lot of fun going through the Universal Studios and Hammer traditional horror films once again during the first week. I'm really excited about taking a second look at the Universal Mummy series, although I admit that the Kharis movies with Chaney Jr really did nothing for me the first go around. I decided early on that I would watch the films that fit my particular mood. I didn't want to be attached to some obligation to watch certain horrors for the first time, my
virgin films, if you will, during the first week, but when the mood hits me I'll get the required amount in to complete the challenge. I definitely have two ready for the weekend,
Crypt of the Vampire with Christopher Lee, and one in particular I'm very excited about,
Blood & Roses, recognized as the first lesbian vampire film. I have been trying to decide if I want to save my two Ingrid Pitt movies for next week or watch them Sunday afternoon/night. I guess I will watch them when that desire hits me. I have
Vampire Circus and
Twins of Evil; the one film I would love to have that is currently unavailable, that being
Lust of the Vampire which I have read is rather good. I had thought about some of the
Halloween movies, but this year I think I'll save Carpenter's film for Halloween night.
