So who else is doing a 31 day movie marathon other than me?

So who else is doing a 31 day movie marathon other than me?

This will be my 9th year doing a 31 Nights marathon. I still have to catch up on a few Sci-Fi September movies before I can start this so I'm already behind the 8 ball.

I had to check just to make sure, but apparently this is my 10th year doing the marathon.

There's just something very comforting about marathoning a ****load of Horror and Halloween based movies throughout the month of October. This is usually a midway point for the five marathons I do at the end of the year (although I had to skip on August this year for sanity's sake) and it's usually the one that I have the most fun with. Followed by November.

What are your five marathons?

What are your five marathons?

Animated August
Sci-Fi-September
31 Nights of Halloween
Arnold SchwarzeNovember
DVDecember

The first 3 are obvious. November is for action flicks. December was limited to those of us that hoard movies on disc and cassette, a reason to finally burn through those piles we've accumulated over the year (or boxes in my case). But since a friend of mine doesn't collect or hoard like we do we also make it about watching movies we've never seen before as well. Makes for a nice balance. Some of also try to squeeze in 13 Days of Creepmas at the start of the year, part of a blog thing the forum's moderator signed us up for.

Yeah, those were my thoughts. I don’t think it’s a movie you're supposed to enjoy per se.

I saw The Deep House. A haunted house movie underwater starring Mick Jagger's son and Harry Styles ex-girlfriend as a couple of annoying youtube content creators exploring a sunken house in a French lake.

The plot is pretty generic but it does have some spooky atmosphere. The set design and cinematography is good. Making a haunted house film underwater must of been a pain in the ass to film. The oxygen supply issue is an obvious ticking time bomb trope they use in the movie. Jagger Jr's character is deliberately annoying vlogger.

Overall I give the film a 7 out 10 rating.

Fathom Events Bringing Carpenter’s ‘The Thing’ Back to Theaters for 40th Anniversary in June!

Even though I've already seen this movie on DVD lots of times (including at a local Alamo Drafthouse twice back in 2020 right before the covid pandemic struck), I'm probably going to see it again, for the crowd experience. That blood test scene got my crowd screaming both times I saw it in theaters.

I'm curious to know, how do you select what to watch on the 31-day October marathon? Is it all stuff you haven't seen with a few favorites here and there? Do you have an order already set?

I usually have a list of movies I haven’t seen before. Maybe I’ll mix in a few favorites.

Going on two years now, I just sort of go with the flow. Empty out my watchlist of any horrors I've added over the past year. Add any new ones that catch my eye. And I have a few I watch every year, especially with friends, like 'Sleepy Hollow' and 'trick r' treat.'

 

[NDX]

I try to balance it with films that I haven't seen from my watch pile films I own, films I have watched multiple times and films I just haven't seen in general. It's really just how I feel at the moment and what I want to sit through. Although this year I might not be participating as my friend, who runs the horror forum that I'm on that started me doing this yearly marathon, passed away last week and I don't know if I have the strength to do it. We're smack dab in the middle of the sci-fi marathon we do every September and I haven't watched the movie since I found out.

For me, it used to be just a random selection of horror movies but recently, I've got an order set up.

First Week: New releases (horror films that have been released this year)
Second Week: Universal Monster Series (I've been going through each universal monster's filmography)
Third Week: Horror Series/Classics I've Never Seen (Either check out another series or watch old horror flicks I've never seen)
Fourth Week: Favorites (My favorite horror films that I watch every year)

Of course, my list is always fluid and stuff can be moved around depending on what's coming out, but usually that's what I keep in mind when I'm doing a 31 day horror marathon.

Can I re-post my joke here? It's from the Bones & All trailer...
