Ooh, the October Challenge is winding down, but there are a few more posts and updates both here and over at Dreams in the Bitch House in the coming days. 31 October, the big day, is going to be a busy one, with a final handful of films on the viewing slate. In addition to that, from 7-8pm EST, I’ll be spinning a bunch of Halloween tunes over at blip.fm. I plan on playing a bunch of stuff from the wayback, so come on over for some groovy, ghoulish tunes. In the meantime, however, here’s a look at one of my favorite horror films, George Romero’s Martin. Continue reading OHMC 2013 – Martin (1978)

OHMC 2013 – The Shining (1980) and Room 237 (2012)
Today’s post is a two-fer, because it only seemed appropriate to combine reviews for these films, beings that one is based upon the other. In other news, water is wet! So let’s head up to the Overlook for some words on The Shining and Room 237… Continue reading OHMC 2013 – The Shining (1980) and Room 237 (2012)
OHMC 2013 – Dawn of the Dead (1978)
Aw yiss. Get ready for another dispatch from the outpost – it’s time for a look at 1978’s Dawn of the Dead, which actually isn’t even my favorite Romero Dead film. What the heck? Read on, o you person who is reading this! Continue reading OHMC 2013 – Dawn of the Dead (1978)
OHMC 2013 – A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge (1985)
Here we are once again, with another full-on review for a film that stood out from the rest this month, but this time not for reasons of quality. Oh, god no. In fact, in terms of being scary, this film ranks so far down on the list, it almost doesn’t even make the list. But when I watched A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge, I knew I’d witnessed something that carries a lot of meaning for a lot of people, including myself. Onward! Continue reading OHMC 2013 – A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge (1985)
OHMC 2013 – Scream 4 (2011)
I’ve been neglecting this Challenge blog project for too long! How terrible of me. I have two more films right now that need to be blogged sooner rather than later, not to mention a write-up for Nitrate Diva’s Vincent Price Blogathon, not to mention a couple of reviews for Cult Reviews, not to mention more reviews for both here and for Dreams In The Bitch House. Whew! So for now, let’s take a look at Wes Craven’s (hopefully) final installment in the Scream series… Continue reading OHMC 2013 – Scream 4 (2011)
OHMC 2013 – The Baby (1973) [mild spoilers]
Good afternoon, pals! So far, this year’s October Horror Movie Challenge has been…well, it’s been really kind of mediocre. But there have been a couple highlights, including 1973’s weirdo cult film, The Baby. Ooooh, this is gonna be a fun one, for you and me both… Continue reading OHMC 2013 – The Baby (1973) [mild spoilers]
OHMC 2013 – Wake In Fright (1971) [spoilers]
As previously mentioned, I’ll be blogging my views for the October Horror Movie Challenge both here, and over at Dreams In The Bitch House. Here is where I’ll be doing lengthier articles on films that deserve more than a paragraph write-up, and DitBH is where I’ll post bite-sized reviews. The first film I sat down with, very late last night, was the 1971 Australian Outback thriller, Wake In Fright. Continue reading OHMC 2013 – Wake In Fright (1971) [spoilers]
