Starting from now...

GO!

Is there a prize for the person who watches the most?

reply

I say she gets the most candies plus a used Star Wars Halloween mask but I shall need a mailing address for that.

reply

Sounds good. I want all the candies!

reply

Don't forget the creepy crawlies!

It's time for some good ole William Castle. The Tingler. The 13 Ghosts. 20 Million Miles to Earth. Plus my personal favorite of his, Mr. Sardonicus.

Can you speak French please?

reply

All I've got is "Mon Cherie" (my darling) from Morticia in The Addams Family, when speaking to Gomez.

I'm not French enough! Help a pal out, SK.

reply

haha, it's all good. Just my way of sawing I never heard of none of what you mentioned before that. Except maybe The 13 ghosts. Scooby-doo right?

reply

No, but you're on the right track. The original 13 Ghosts from 1960 inspired Scooby-Doo greatly.

I had a feeling you were doing a figure of speech. It's funny how where we live influences is how we talk. It's pretty neat and fun to learn about.

Ah 13 ghosts! I don't like horror movies but 13 ghosts has just enough mystery, sci fi, fantasy to make it great! The 2001 flick, sorry I never saw the original. Hey StoneKeeper, the lead actor was Tony Shaloub, you should watch it.
Sorry, twinA. I know that you were referencing the one from 1960.

reply

You would love the original then too, Cruz. It focuses more on stage-style horror suspense more than intense shock value.

Tony Shalhoub is cool. He can play any role. I did not know there was a 13 Ghosts remake until Svengoolie mentioned it, which is where I saw the classic. I've been meaning to watch the 2000s version.

I've been doing it the whole month. I plan on watching Christmas movies starting December 1st too.

reply

Although I do enjoy me a good Christmas movie I couldn’t do that

reply

I figure that Halloween and Christmas are the most different times of the year so I might as well utilize it while it's that time of year. January 1st - October 1st just seems all the same to me.

reply

I watch horror movies all year round, but once it gets to Christmas movie season, I'm all over those. I would like to see more Christmas horrors come to think of it.

reply

Even if the Christmas movies are bad, I'll watch it. I love the feeling of watching Christmas movies at night when it's snowing outside.

reply

Me too

reply

Some think it’s strange but my favorite Christmas movie is Mister Magoo’s: A Christmas Carol. I honestly can’t wait for the first time I pop that baby in at the beginning of December.

reply

A 7.7 IMDb score is nothing to be embarrassed about. And I'm sure the film has nostalgia for you too.

reply

Are you talking the zillion Christmas movies that Hallmark does? I'm with you on watching one when it's snowing outside.

reply

Any type of Christmas movie. However if the lead actors in the Hallmark movies are awful, I'll stay away. The Hallmark movies aren't great, but they do what they're supposed to do -- put you in the Christmas spirit and I love them.

reply

I don't do Christmas. Call me a humbug.

reply

You monster!

reply

I know... :(

reply

But, but can’t we add up all the ones we’ve already watched this month? :)

reply

I want to say yes! Really!!


But, no.

reply

Awww, I’ve been practicing.

reply

Keep at it! ;)

reply

i've already introduced more horror than usual into my rotation, & for the next 11 days i'll probably be almost exclusive.

reply

Ok, I’m down with watching as many horror flicks as possible, but surely you aren’t suggesting I have to wait until the 1st to eat candy.

reply

Thanks, but no thanks. I'll sit this one out. Horror/sci-fi movies are not my thing.

reply

I used to love horror, but gave up on it. I have enough anxiety of my own. haha. Nice to see you are still on the site, if you remember my screen name or not. :)

reply

Of course I remember you, Daisy! We used to run into each other on the Trivia board. And the Books board, too. Nice to see you again.

reply

I've already seen so many horror films.
