Halloween Horror Marathon 2016: No One can Hear ME Scream

I'm gonna regret using that title when I actually revisit the Scream franchise...

Into the 3rd entry on this year's run, and I've made a decision. For the first time, I'm actually going to plan to stop at movie #105. When you reach a point where there are only about 5-10 movies on Netflix in the genre that you haven't seen, the time has come to reassess. That's exactly what I plan to do because my goal is usually to break my personal record each year. That's gonna get much harder with each passing year, and that means developing a strategy going forward. For now, I forge ahead with the usual rules.

• No Prior knowledge of the movie
• I have to have never seen it OR not seen it recently enough to form an opinion
• Once the credits start (or I pass the 1:30 min. mark), there is NO TURNING BACK...
• No David DeCoteau movies

Are there any gems left in my last 36 movies this year? Let's see what we find...

Hint: This is not a shot from a gem.

Halloween Horror Marathon 2016: As Legend has it...

And we are BACK!! Not shooting for a new personal record this year, but definitely forming a strategy for how to knock it outta the park in 2017. If I play my cards right, there may be enough franchises lined up that I can revisit with fresh eyes. But for now, it's grasping at whatever I can find...as long as it fits the following.

• No Prior knowledge of the movie
• I have to have never seen it OR not seen it recently enough to form an opinion
• Once the credits start (or I pass the 1:30 min. mark), there is NO TURNING BACK...
• No David DeCoteau movies

Back to the brutality. The best part of that sentence is you don't know if I mean the movies or the internalized agony of watching Ouija Experiment 2...

"Hey, boo. If you wanna see what mediocrity REALLY looks like..."

Halloween Horror Marathon 2016: Stranger Things Will Have to Wait...

Getting started a little later than I would've hoped, but I've got a good reason!*

I'm here now though, and ready to put in that work. I'll keep the intro brief. You know why we're here. Here's the breakdown. Below are the horror movies I've watched this year for my annual marathon in October as well as a brief comment, thought, or micro-review. This year, I'll also conclude with the recommendations and condemnations from this batch of films.** The criteria is...

• No Prior knowledge of the movie
• I have to have never seen it OR not seen it recently enough to form an opinion
• Once the credits start (or I pass the 1:30 min. mark), there is NO TURNING BACK...
• No David DeCoteau movies

No retreat, no surrender, no stops 'til November. Let's do this!
