Like a lot of horror fans, I have been mulling over my "watch lists" for the first days of October. I have even set aside two vacation days about the 23rd and 24th specifically for all day horror marathons coming up next month. It is an exciting time for those of us who try to ridiculously cram as many horror movies as we can in each day, only to burn ourselves out by the third week. The fourth week comes around and a lot of us peeter out on our movie-watching. Many this year will take part in the imdb horror challenge, but I felt that I would take a one-year break from that to just watch movies that I want, not adhere to a specific set of rules. I have plenty of "new horror" (that is old horror I've never seen, along with some recent horrors like Sinister & The Woman in Black I have set aside) set aside for the occasion, this year, but I also plan to return to some films that haven't made the cut in the last two (Argento's Phenomenon will return, as well as, Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things, Captain Kronos, Let's Scare Jessica to Death, & Lemora), so I hope for an epic October. I'm not sure what the hell I will do on the blog. I'm not sure I will have the time required to dedicate to full reviews, but I would love to carry the excitement and thrill of new experiences and the reacquaintance of older horror films that haven't been on the screen for a few years onto the blog. Particularly, if some of the films making the cut this year (like Twins of Evil, Lust of the Vampire, Zolton Hound of Dracula, and Dracula Rising) are as fun as I hope they will be. I like that I will be mixing it up a little more this year (throwing in Wes Craven's Deadly Blessing, The Dark Side of Midnight, and Tombs of the Blind Dead; the list I want to be eclectic), and maybe the format on the blog will be a bit out of the ordinary. Dunno, we shall see.
