you know what i really like about New Nightmare?

well, one thing.

the protaganists are faced with a hospital staff who (of course) don't believe this crazy horror premise is occuring, and they result to violence with seemingly no hesitation. it's hysterical to me.

Ash Vs Evil Dead Season 3

The hype is real :)

Watched all of Season 2 on Blu-Ray over October as well as the Original blu-ray of The Evil Dead. As well as some Friday The 13th movies. The Necronomicon is in Jason Goes To Hell so that franchise counts, sort of.

Favorite Horror Movie theme music

Out of nowhere, I just caught myself whistling the Last Cannibal World theme.



I also love the Cannibal Holocaust theme.

The Friday the 13th game is releasing new content, and for some reason, they chose the Suspiria theme for the video. Can't wait to find out what "Paranoia Mode" is.



I also love the Madman theme, and I think that movie is perfect.



Damn modern movies... I can't think of ONE of them that has memorable theme music! Prove me wrong, people.

Umberto Lezni has died

Italian director Umberto Lenzi has died. In the early days of VHS, Lenzi became known in the U.S. primarily for some of his horror movies around that same period--MAKE THEM DIE SLOWLY (CANNIBAL FEROX), EATEN ALIVE, NIGHTMARE CITY, etc.--though most of them are far from his best work. Lenzi actually worked in every conceivable genre over the years--Westerns, Eurospy pictures, action pictures, gialli, war movies, peplums, crime films, even made a Robin Hood movie once (though I've never seen it). He was 85.

Gerald's Game (2017)

Most probably have already watched this, but damn it was a very good movie, Flanagan's best so far in my book. 8/10

Has anyone seen Dark Tower, but one from 1989?

I just found it on IMDb, but never heard of it. Looks really interesting and fun! It has only 300 votes with 4.1/10 rating, but the movie poster looks cool though.

1st Annual TE October Challenge Progress Thread



**I was waiting on Matheny to reclaim her place as host, but doesn't look like that's going to happen. So, here goes...

Welcome to the 2017 October Challenge. And for many of us, this is the first one away from the IMDb Horror board, which means it's no longer required to save your progress. So, fuck that no life having little cocksucker that used to make it necessary to delete the OP. Seriously. Kill yourself, whoever you were.

So, the rules, as I remember. To complete this challenge, one must watch at least 31 Horror films in the month of October. At least 16 of which shall be first time viewings. All are welcome to watch and list as many as possible.

No TV shows, no Documentaries. Horror films only.

If you're not positive as to whether or not a movie is of the Horror genre, just use your own judgement. If you feel like there's a little Horror in there, then it counts.

I'm gonna go with 45 minutes minimum for a movie to count.

Challenge begins when October begins, and ends with October ends.

No, wait! if I remember correctly, the challenge usually runs until 6 AM November 1st. So, for anyone wanting to have an all night Halloween marathon, there ya go!

If anyone has any questions or comments... https://trashepics.com/post/9/161/

Remember to list the number of movies/FTVs at the bottom, or it will not be counted in the results thread.

This is the year of trash. And this will no doubt prove to be the trashiest October Challenge of them all!

And this is where you make your spot. Have fun!** 😈

With a shrimp cocktail, or not?

OK, here's a hypothetical situation for you. Let's say someone is being tortured, and they are about to ask you to intercede on their behalf. Is it better to say no A.)while eating a shrimp cocktail, or B.)while not eating a shrimp cocktail? In this scene, Ming the Merciless makes a case for option A:
